After Simulating a Million Years, I Became the Holy Emperor

In the vast Heavenly Sovereign Star Territory, with its main star, Heavenly Sovereign Star, a young man with long hair cascading past his shoulders stood on an unremarkable hilltop in the Eastern Region. He stared at a system log with a mixture of astonishment and curiosity.

System Log:

Year 1 of Simulation: You have successfully broken through to the Mortal Realm, freeing yourself from the constraints of mortality. Although you can now fly, your fear of heights took two and a half years to overcome.

Year 10 of Simulation: You resolved the issue of life and death, advancing to the Life and Death Realm. Your lifespan has significantly increased.

Year 100 of Simulation: Your cultivation reached the peak of the Xiaoyao Realm. Faced with the challenge of becoming a Saint, you chose to leave the mountain and discovered that the human race had declined into a mere resource for other races.

Year 101 of Simulation: You rescued numerous human tribes, teaching them cultivation techniques. The human race began to rise again, and you were honored as the Holy Emperor of the Human Race.

Year 300 of Simulation: You advanced to the Saint Realm, a level many monks aspire to. Under your guidance, the human race made significant progress.

Year 3,000 of Simulation: Your cultivation reached the Great Sage level, the pinnacle of transformation. The human race continued to grow stronger under your leadership.

Year 9,999 of Simulation: You attained the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level. After defeating a formidable genius from the Golden Ancient Clan, you chose to forgo becoming a Great Emperor and instead allowed him to take the title. You then declared yourself the Immortal Emperor, leaving a lasting mark on history.

Year 10,000 of Simulation: The universe experienced a golden age for the human race, with you as its most powerful figure. Even the Ancient Emperor of the Golden Ancient Clan avoided you.

Year 30,000 of Simulation: As old age approached, you used immortal medicine to rejuvenate yourself, embarking on a new life and continuing to dominate the heavens.

Year 100,000 of Simulation: You experienced your second old age. You shed your old body, giving birth to an immortal fetus with the power of nine deaths, beginning your third life. Seeing the human race was stable, you faked your death and retreated from the world.

Year 200,000 of Simulation: You raised a white tiger, which later emerged as the White Tiger Demon King, dominating the universe.

Year 400,000 of Simulation: Amidst unprecedented dark turmoil, you crushed eight supreme ancient emperors, restoring peace.

Year 500,000 of Simulation: The universe entered an ancient era. The human race faced decline, and after a millennium without a great emperor, you incarnated on Earth, where you met and fell in love with Saint Yao from the Yaochi Holy Land. You had a son, Gu Sheng, the first holy body of the human race. After Yao Ji's death, you pretended to be dead, but Gu Sheng, believing both of you were gone, strove to become an immortal to resurrect you. Gu Sheng became the first ancient human emperor, renowned for his power.

System Log:

Year 1,000,000 of Simulation: Your cultivation has surpassed the system's understanding. The system can no longer assist you, so you awaken.

Gu Changsheng reviewed the system log, piecing together what he had accomplished over the past million years. The memories of his extraordinary journey began to stir within him.

A million years ago, he had been transported from a planet called Earth to Heavenly Sovereign Star, where he first activated the system. Unlike the simulation systems he had read about, this one allowed his subconscious to drive his cultivation and achievements.

The universe, once a sea of suffering, had seen its share of legends, but the Immortal Capital had not appeared for millennia. As for the transcendent realm, it was unknown to the world. Gu Changsheng's cultivation had reached unknown heights, even beyond the system's comprehension.

"System, have you seen the other side?" Gu Changsheng inquired.

System Response: [Dear host, the system has not seen the other side.]

Frowning, Gu Changsheng considered the implications. If the system had never seen the other side, but he had surpassed its understanding, could he be defining the other side?

System Response: [Although the system has not seen the other side, your existence exceeds its knowledge. Therefore, you can define it yourself.]

Gu Changsheng smiled. "Since no one has reached the other side, it falls to me to define it."

He stood up, feeling his body, which had been still for countless years. The familiar sounds of cracking bones did not occur.

"That's right; it's unusual for bones to crack."

Looking at the mountain he had been connected to for millions of years, he said with a smile, "Our time together has been a fate."

With a light touch, he infused new vitality into the mountain.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Holy Emperor!" a voice echoed.

Surprised, Gu Changsheng realized it was the mountain expressing gratitude. "Since I am the Holy Emperor, and you are the mountain, from now on, you shall be called Xiaoxian."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, for the name!" Xiaoxian replied, her consciousness still youthful and joyous.

"Practice hard, and may you become an immortal soon!" Gu Changsheng encouraged before disappearing with a single step.
