[End of this simulation]
[The main quest "Liyue Migration" was successful, with 23 deaths along the way. Congratulations to the host for obtaining an A-level rating (the rating is divided into 5 levels: D, C, B, A, and S. The higher the rating, the better the reward).]
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the ending: One Person Controls the Mountains and Rivers]
[One Man Guards the Mountains and Rivers: Although you died at the end of the simulation, you used your life to protect this land and its people. Your short life was brilliant and splendid, and your name will be known forever throughout the land of Liyue.]
[Do you want to end this instance simulation with the current ending?]
The voice of the system echoed in his mind. Yilan's eyes were a little empty at first, but as time passed, they gradually became brighter.
Then he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
There is an experiment called the "Blood of Death Row" in psychology textbooks.
The experiment involved tying a prisoner to a chair and blindfolding him, then cutting the blood vessels on his wrists to let him bleed—but without letting him die from excessive blood loss. However, after the bleeding was stopped, the experimenter would use a water pipe to drip water next to the prisoner, making the blindfolded prisoner think he was still bleeding, and eventually, the prisoner died.
Simply put, the prisoner thought he was dead, so he really died.
Yilan had just now almost experienced this feeling. He really had died in the life simulation.
Fortunately, he always remembered that he was simulating—otherwise, he might really have ended up brain-dead.
But the feeling of death is really not good.
Especially before his death, he had suffered from the pain of being eroded by the remnants of the demon.
He felt that after this simulation, apart from anything else, his willpower was probably several times stronger than before.
In the future, he would be calmer when facing a strong enemy; when facing a desperate situation, he would have the courage to fight to the death, and his ability to endure pain would also be greatly improved.
In a sense, this was also a great gain.
"Let the simulation end."
After coming to his senses, Yilan said this to the system.
He felt that this simulation was perfect, and he was very satisfied with the outcome. Even if he did it again, he wouldn't necessarily do better than this time.
It was a pity that he got an A score instead of an S score, but if an S score required that no one died during the entire migration process, then he would probably find it difficult to do even if he did it ten more times.
[Confirm that the simulation is over. This instance is closed, and rewards are distributed.]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Qingxin Sachet]
[Qingxin Sachet: She made the Qingxin you gave her into a sachet and gave it to you. The sachet will always be with you. She wants to stay with you forever.]
As the system prompt sounded, an exquisitely shaped sachet with a cute unicorn embroidered in silver thread appeared in Yilan's hand.
Looking at this very familiar sachet that had been hanging around his waist during the simulation, Yilan couldn't help but sigh.
Naturally, there were Liyue and Ganyu in his own plane. He didn't know how Ganyu in this plane would react if he showed this sachet to her.
But he didn't think there would be any reaction.
Perhaps she would sigh that this sachet was so exquisite and the scent was her favorite, but she would never know that in another dimension, there was a young man who once held her hand, took her to the market, took her to see the mountains, and blocked the raging tsunami for her.
After all, the Liyue Migration in this world had already happened more than a thousand years ago when he traveled here.
How could he, who came more than a thousand years later, affect what happened more than a thousand years ago?
The system's voice continued.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Investiture of god]
[Ding, the host's appearance has been detected to have reached the upper limit. "Charming as Jade" evolves to "Face that Sees God"]
[Face that Sees God: God's face cannot be seen. Mortals can only see the side of you that they want to see—those of low status will see you as more noble; those who have romantic feelings for you will perceive you to be more attractive; those who trust you will see you as more reliable; your enemies will feel fear in their hearts when they see you.]
"To put it simply, although my appearance has not changed, it will expand a person's perception of me. For example, people who originally admired me will admire me even more."
"Although it doesn't actually increase combat power, it is still a very practical talent."
Seeing the effect of this talent, Yilan couldn't help but think to himself that he could really make a living by relying on his looks in the future.
Being able to intensify the negative emotions in the enemy's heart during combat and providing various conveniences in daily life can be considered a very practical talent.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 10 attribute points]
According to the system's introduction, a person's attributes are divided into three categories: body, mind, and soul.
There is no need to elaborate on the role of the body. Simply put, it refers to a person's physical strength.
Spirit symbolizes the depth of a person's thinking and will. This may be a little difficult to understand. To give a simple example: in the plot of Sumeru, ordinary people will go crazy after accepting the "canned knowledge of God." Even the Red King of the Desert will lose his mind after being exposed to forbidden knowledge.
These can be understood as their spiritual realm not being high enough to accept knowledge that exceeds their understanding, which is somewhat similar to the SAN value in the Cthulhu worldview.
The soul is the foundation of a person. If a person's soul is strong enough, even if his body dies, his will can still remain on this earth.
At the same time, the stronger the soul, the higher the degree of acceptance and cognition of the laws of the world—it can be simply understood that the stronger the soul, the higher the adaptability to elemental force, and the more powerful the moves released by elemental force.
The body, mind, and soul are the three major elements that make up a person. Currently, in the system's assessment, the strengths of Yilan's three attributes are:
Soul: 11
Spirit: 18
Body: 8
Due to the limitations of the physical body, the overall strength can only be considered at the first level. For a perfect demon level like Zhongli, the strength of the three attributes is about 39, which is the peak of the third level.
The strength of the three attributes at Tianli's level is 50–60, which is the peak of level 5.
The limit that a person can reach is level seven.
Because in mysticism, 7 is an extremely sacred number, representing completeness and perfection.
It took God 7 days to create the world, a week has 7 days, the Big Dipper has 7 stars, the rainbow has 7 colors, there are also 7 elements and 7 rulers in Genshin Impact, and even in League of Legends there is the "Will of 7"…
Okay, the last one is nonsense, but the previous ones are enough to show the magic of the number "7."
As long as one can raise the three attributes to the level of "7," then he will become a complete and perfect god, even far surpassing the laws of nature.
Thinking of this, Yilan couldn't help but feel some inexplicable emotion.
Thinking back to when he first came to this world, he didn't have the system, and all he could rely on was his knowledge that transcended this era and part of the background of this world.
At that time, his life goal was simply to find a way to survive a few hundred more years and accumulate strength to reach the level of a dependent.
And now, a more ambitious and practical goal appeared before his eyes.
He stood up, walked to the French window, and looked at the sky covered with dark clouds. His eyes seemed to penetrate through the clouds and reach the sky island in the far distance—although it was still high up, someone was already watching its throne.
