Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 195 Loosen the tight hoop!
"Your Majesty, look! There's a sow climbing a tree!"

You joyfully point to the empty space in the distance and enthusiastically introduce the otherworldly wonder to the people around you!

Upon hearing this, the disheveled Divine Emperor looked over in surprise, then exclaimed in amazement, "Yes! I saw it! There is indeed a sow climbing a tree there!"

[“Also! I saw it brought a few piglets. They were so fat and cuddly. I’m sure they’d make great roast suckling pigs…”]

【Um? 】

You were momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty is so inclined, I will certainly offer my services!"

"Old Li, go catch one of those piglets and roast it. Let His Majesty have a taste of the West Heaven's produce!"

[You smiled and greeted Li Laiheng, who had already ascended to heaven...]

But Li Laiheng scratched his head and then whispered, "Master, is this tyrant crazy? There are no piglets here..."

Your expression remains unchanged: "Go when I tell you to... Do not neglect His Majesty."

【what? 】

Li Laiheng looked at you blankly... but an old thief is still an old thief, well-versed in the ways of the world. Faced with this situation, he understood it after a moment's thought.

[A moment later, he brought a handful of roasted sweet potatoes...]

You take the roasted sweet potato and respectfully offer it to the Divine Emperor: "Your Majesty, the roasted suckling pig is here. Please enjoy your meal."

“Mmm! It’s so delicious…”

[The Divine Emperor scooped up the air and began to devour it with a look of enjoyment.]

[And you watched the Divine Emperor's various actions, and finally couldn't help but fall into deep thought.]

[“Is He… truly insane? Or is He just too good at acting?”]

[Two different opinions are intertwined in your mind, making it difficult for you to distinguish them... In fact, you have been confused about this issue for a long time, so you have been testing Him since He first acted crazy.]

The specific method of testing Him was very simple. It was to point out some scenes of the Western Paradise to Him, in order to test whether He could actually see them.

[Of course, temptation is temptation, but your underlying intention is to torture Him...]

[After all these years, you've actually long known that others can't see the scenery of the Western Paradise... This is also the special thing about the Western Paradise. Its existence is not objective, but subjective!]

[In short, it only exists relative to you. As for anyone else, they can't actually perceive it. This is why others are always unwilling to believe you.]

If you were to constantly tell the objective God-Emperor about this "subjective world" and force Him to accept this worldview, then this would undoubtedly be torture...

[This is just like when you took the Imperial Examination in your first life: the teacher who taught you the "examination" back then taught you a lot of nonsense about the Divine Emperor.]

[What about "a prominent nose and a dragon-like face", "seventy-two black spots on the left thigh", "resurrection three days after death", "a multicolored aura on the top of the head", "I am the only one in heaven and on earth"...]

These are clearly allusions plucked from various myths and legends, both ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign, and stitched together to represent the Divine Emperor. Even though you, the examinees, know this "knowledge" is bullshit, you still insist on studying it for the sake of your official positions.

[This way, the goal is to destroy the examinees' personal will and distort their values! Under this kind of education program that deliberately teaches examinees incorrect knowledge, every official selected can no longer be a normal person... If they become officials, they will only be kowtow-mongering idiots who are absolutely loyal to the Divine Emperor, veritable "dog officials"!]

Whether this method was devised by the Divine Emperor himself, or by some talented scholar who shared his burdens, is impossible to verify. However, the Divine Emperor truly used it to torture scholars throughout the world to the point of near-death ecstasy, demonstrating its remarkable effectiveness... [Now, you are using this "Divine Emperor's Secret Dog Training Method" to torture the Divine Emperor himself!]

You used the "Western Paradise" to reshape his worldview, forcing him to accept its existence even though he knew it didn't exist, causing him to suffer between reality and falsehood!

[After so long, the Divine Emperor will naturally become mentally abnormal...]

[It now appears that your plan has indeed succeeded. The Divine Emperor spends every day bombarded by your worldview. Under such torture, He has developed a mental illness.]

[When faced with your description of the magnificent scenery of the Western Paradise, the Divine Emperor fully believed it. He not only claimed that he had truly seen what you said, but also saw things you had not mentioned...]

This is obviously crazy!

[His madness also announces that your plan to "save all living beings" has reached a new level...]

[Looking at the mad God-Emperor who was still savoring the air (roast suckling pig/roasted sweet potato) with relish, you couldn't help but start to think.]

Millions of Ming Dynasty citizens have been liberated and transported to the "Western Paradise." Every day, they enjoy things unavailable to the ordinary world, and their lives are blissful... Yet, even the most stubborn Emperor has been driven mad by your torture.

So, what should you do next?

You know in your heart that although you can see the "Western Paradise," you are still living in this illusory world of the Great Ming Dynasty. This means that you are still affected by this illusory world.

If the Divine Emperor dies, the illusory world will perish, and you too will not be immune... After your death, the eternal cycle from the simulator will take effect again, dragging you back to the day of the 43rd year of the Chongzhen reign...

[And the Divine Emperor is bound to die. Once He dies, you can't escape!]

This leaves you at a loss: What exactly should you do to transcend the Three Realms and escape the Five Elements?

Being born as the protagonist of a simulation is undoubtedly your fortune, allowing you to accumulate experience time and time again, until you reach the heights you are today... But conversely, this summoning is also a great misfortune and a curse, meaning that you will never be able to escape this endless cycle of reincarnation on your own!

This reminds you of the Monkey King: after obtaining the Buddhist scriptures and becoming a Buddha, the Monkey King had achieved perfect merit, but the tight headband still bound him tightly, so much so that he had to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to remove it...

[You are now like Sun Wukong, the successful pilgrim. He reached the Western Paradise, and you have reached the Western Paradise too. He has achieved perfect merit, and you have achieved perfect merit too... So, how do you remove the tight headband from your head?]

[The answer is, the person who tied the bell must untie it...]

【…】

[Ding! At this final moment of perfect merit, you realize that you no longer need the identity of a "reincarnator." This identity is no longer a good thing for you now, but rather the biggest bad thing.]

Your achievements have been fulfilled, and your soul has found its place... Therefore, you have found your home, and the destination for the rest of your life!

[Whether the outcome is a peaceful death or true eternal life in the Western Paradise, you can accept it...]

[Another me, please give me an answer and an ending! ]

【Your choice: (?) Please make up your own answer! 】
