“[However, you did not choose to break through to the Golden Core Realm directly, but continued to suppress your cultivation level, because you felt that the quality of the spiritual energy within your body could further improve.]”

“[In the thirteenth year, the Essence-Nourishing Herbs you had planted before matured again, and you continued to refine Essence-Nourishing Pills.]”

“[It took you three months to refine over a hundred Essence-Nourishing Pills.]”

“[You handed over all the two thousand surplus Organ Refining Pills you had accumulated over the years to Lu Yuanwu in advance, then you told everyone not to disturb you.]”

“[After making all the preparations, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]”

“[In the fourteenth year, it had been a full six months since you began your secluded meditation. You sat inside a thatched cottage, surrounded by rich spiritual energy, which flowed into your body like trickling streams, unceasingly.]”

“[Your body was filled with spiritual energy like meandering streams, flowing through your meridians with each pass, as comfortable as the warmth of sunlight.]”

“[The spiritual energy within you compressed and condensed continuously, day after day, month after month. You sat still as a stone, as if the entire world was unrelated to you, your entire focus in the relentless surge of spiritual energy.]”

“[You knew this was a crucial step from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, the moment when your efforts were about to pay off.]”

“[At this time, you had been in seclusion for several months, fasting from food and drink. Although your body was weary, your spirit became more and more invigorated. You clenched your teeth and persevered, continuously guiding the spiritual energy, letting it cleanse and cultivate your meridians.]”

“[Finally, on a sunny and breezy morning, you intuitively felt the premonition that you were about to break through.]”

“[Soon after, a faint golden light burst forth from within you, shooting up to the sky, illuminating the entire Spirit Field Blessed Land.]”

“[It was like a thunderclap exploding in your heart, or a bamboo shoot bursting forth suddenly, a profound sensation erupted, rushing towards your spiritual platform—it was the power of the Golden Core. After more than ten years of effort, you had finally achieved the Golden Core Realm.]”

Su Xing clenched his fists tightly and murmured to himself, as if it were a fleeting dream:

“‘Is this… the Golden Core Realm?’”

There’s a saying, isn’t there? ‘With a Golden Core swallowed into the belly, I command my fate, not the heavens!’

As soon as this simulation ends, Su Xing, with sufficient resources at his disposal, will instantly achieve the Golden Core Stage!

Su Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued with the simulation.

“[You have become a glorious Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, and your strength has skyrocketed.]”

“[Your secluded meditation concluded, and you returned to the real world. The upper echelons of the Great Xia Country’s military were thrilled to learn of your emergence from seclusion, and they sought you out immediately.]”

“[The person who came to meet you was still Jin Congxue’s grandfather, Lu Yuanwu, who seemed to have a heavy heart.]”

“[You were alarmed and urgently inquired about the matter.]”

“[Lu Yuanwu told you that the war at the front was intense, Demon-Subduing Pass could be breached at any moment, even Jin Congxue had already been seriously wounded, and now the number of healing elixirs produced in the instances was decreasing and no longer sufficient for the warriors at the front.]”

[You fell silent upon hearing this, you knew that less than a year’s time remained before the beasts would attack and the entire Great Xia Country faced destruction, but you still wanted to try, to see if your efforts could delay the moment the Demon-Subduing Pass would be breached by the beasts.]

[Because according to previous simulation experience, by the fourteenth year, the Demon-Subduing Pass should have been breached, and the reason the front line has been able to hold out for an additional year and a half this time around might be because these years the Human Race has provided a large number of elixirs for support.]

[Over the past decade and more, you have crafted tens of thousands of Organ Refining Pills, and brought nearly two thousand Grandmaster Level practitioners to the Human Race. Grandmaster Level practitioners, though not the top combat power, are definitely the pillar of the line at the Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[You knew, with your strength, it was basically impossible to defeat those powerful members of the Demon Race, even if you had reached the Golden Core Stage, there was still a huge gap.]

[Therefore, you decided to take a different approach, crafting more elixirs to create more powerful figures for the Human Race!]

Su Xing nodded slightly upon reading this, his goals for this simulation had essentially been achieved.

Although his Body Refinement Cultivation Level had not broken through to the Organ Refining Realm, the fact that he managed to break through to the Golden Core Stage was already an unexpected joy.

And with the remaining year and a half, he had insufficient time to attempt further breakthroughs in cultivation level or to learn new elixirs.

On the contrary, trying to see if he could change or delay the extinction of the Human Race through his own efforts would be a decent attempt.

Having made his decision, Su Xing continued with the simulation.

[You first provided Lu Yuanwu with a list of herbs, instructing him to give you whatever amount you needed. You told him that you could craft a healing medicine known as a Wound Healing Pill, which could quickly heal serious injuries of Master Level practitioners, and even gradually heal the wounds of Grandmaster Level practitioners.]

[Lu Yuanwu was astonished upon hearing this; he candidly said that although the healing potions in the simulation could instantly recover from injuries, they only worked on lower-ranking practitioners. For Master Level, the effectiveness of those healing potions was greatly reduced. As for Grandmaster Level practitioners, they could hardly recover unless they used precious high-level healing potions.]

[Your words reignited hope in Lu Yuanwu, and he vigorously supported you, quickly arranging for his subordinates to provide you with a mountain of medicinal herbs.]

[You looked at the herbs and set to work. Since you were already at the Golden Core Stage and had just started on the path of Alchemy, you easily crafted these basic tier Wound Healing Pills.]

[You found a special metal that could withstand the high temperatures of Li Fire, produced in the simulation, and hired a Master blacksmith to make over a dozen Alchemy Furnaces.]

[You began crafting the Wound Healing Pills at an extremely fast pace, and you could multitask, producing five batches of Wound Healing Pills in a single hour.]

[In the span of one month, you crafted tens of thousands of Wound Healing Pills, and their influx into the front lines greatly relieved the pressure on the practitioners there.]

[By the fifteenth year, through your relentless efforts, you managed to delay the defeat at the Demon-Subduing Pass by a full month, but ultimately, due to the vast difference in power, the losses among the practitioners at the Demon-Subduing Pass grew increasingly severe, and the Pass was finally breached.]

[One day, Lu Yuanwu came to you, having lost an arm at the Demon-Subduing Pass, his entire appearance aged by more than a dozen years.]

[He told you that the moment of the Human Race’s extinction was not far off, and this wasn’t just because of the fall of the Demon-Subduing Pass, but also because of the continuous death in battle of the Human Race’s top forces.]

[You fell silent, looking at the weathered Lu Yuanwu with mixed feelings, and you asked him if there was a way to defeat those demons.]

[At this, Lu Yuanwu gave a pale, powerless smile and said, “Unless a miracle occurs, no, unless the Human Race gives birth to a True God Level powerhouse.”]
