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

Chapter 207 Song Dynasty
[Ding! Host's simulation request detected, simulating...]

[Simulation loading...]

[Ding! Simulation failed...]

The simulation... failed.

Upon receiving this news, Zhou Liang didn't show any surprise, but instead had a helpless expression of "as expected"...

In fact, during this long period of ten years, it was certainly impossible for Zhou Liang to completely give up the exploration and research of the "Gate of Golden Light".

As he has a simulation system, he will of course try to use the simulator's function as a key, such as simulating that he has opened the door and passed through!
But unfortunately, the system always prompts "Simulation Failed"...

Now, the last attempt has failed, and Zhou Liang can only sigh helplessly:
"What's the reason this time? Is there still no corresponding data?"

[Yes, host. The reason the simulator can simulate world lines with you as the protagonist is ultimately because you actually exist in this world. Therefore, the system can use you as the data entry point to simulate the different branches of this entire world view based on your different choices.]

[This gate and the spacetime beyond it are both unknown entities outside of this worldview. Without the host as a data anchor to penetrate them, the system cannot incorporate them into the simulation database, and naturally, simulation is impossible...]

"Row……"

Zhou Liang could only sigh after trying hard but to no avail.

But there was nothing to be disappointed about. After all, he had tried countless times in the previous ten years, but each simulation failed... This time he was just desperate and trying everything at the last moment. It was not worth complaining about the failure.

Seeing Zhou Liang's attempt failed, Zhou Zifang beside him also smiled and shook his head:
"You, you... you always want to put all the risks on the simulator, while you hide behind the scenes and reap the profits without any risk... This won't work."

"In life, we are inevitably subject to the test of wind and rain... Is there any path that can completely avoid risks?"

Zhou Liang glanced at him and said unhappily:

"If there's a way to avoid the risk, why shouldn't I use it? Only savages like to charge at wild beasts with wooden spears, howling. Civilized people know they need guns when hunting!"

"Only when you're out of ammunition and food should you consider hand-to-hand combat..."

As he spoke, Zhou Liang asked the system again without giving up:
"Is it really impossible to simulate? You said the spacetime on the other side of the door is unknown and has no data to support it. That means as long as someone passes through, there will be data that can be used for simulation!"

"In that case, if I throw a death row prisoner in there..."

【Return to host, no.】

[The system's simulation ultimately uses you as the entry point. Even if others enter, they won't be able to access the system's data... Furthermore, this door is not ordinary; ordinary mortals can't enter. Only the recognized Lord of Heaven and Earth can enter.]

"This……"

Now, the disappointed Zhou Liang was completely at his wit's end.

He couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that this last attempt is useless. We are indeed doomed to this disaster."

"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it can't be avoided. Since I've been forced into this desperate situation, I can only pick up my spear and charge forward like my ancestors..."

Zhou Liang gritted his teeth and was about to push the door open...

"and many more!"

At this moment, Zhou Zifang suddenly stopped him, and then slowly said in his puzzled eyes:
"I'll go... okay?"

"I am one with you. In theory, I can do anything you can do..."

Ok?
Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes:
"What are you talking about!"

"You only exist relative to me. In objective reality, you don't exist at all... Without me, you can't even influence reality. How can you get in?"

It’s not just Zhou Liang who is worried about him, but this is not feasible in the first place!
Although Zhou Zifang is the master of the Western Paradise, he cannot exist independently. Once he is separated from the anchor point of his body, he will directly return to nothingness. How can he enter the unknown time and space on the other side of the door?

Therefore, Zhou Liang was not optimistic about this proposal at all...

But Zhou Zifang said seriously:
"I know what you mean, but that's not what I want to say. It's..."

As the resourceful and resourceful Jile Tianzun slowly explained, Zhou Liang, who had originally been pessimistic about him, was startled. Then his eyes flickered and his face became thoughtful.
If this method is used, it seems that it is not impossible...

"it is good!"

Zhou Liang was not a man of indecision. Ten years of experience in governing had already cultivated his decisive character. After gradually realizing that the other party's proposal was highly feasible, Zhou Liang thought for a moment and nodded heavily:

"Then I'll give it a try..."

"but……"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask hesitantly:
"Is it worth it?"

"No one knows what's going on on the other side. What if... you die there? Then even if I succeed in the simulation, you'll probably only be a simulated character for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to return to this reality..."

"What does it matter?"

Zhou Zifang smiled and shook his head:
"I'm just a simulated character. Life or death doesn't matter to me, nor does my situation..."

"Now that I can help you, and help this real world move towards true perfection, I can say that my death is well deserved."

"Besides, if I don't go, then you have to go... If something goes wrong, not only you and I, but also this real world that has just started to get back on track will be destroyed..."

"Okay, let's do it."

Zhou Liang said nothing, only gazing at this seemingly eternally smiling Jile Tianzun, as if he wanted to imprint him deep in his memory forever...

……

Standing in front of the mysterious gate shining with golden light, Zhou Liang picked up the dragon-slaying sword condensed by the power of the West, and then slashed it fiercely on his head!
With one strike of the sword, Zhou Liang's red soul was instantly split in two...

One large, one small.

The larger one was severely damaged, but still retained Zhou Liang's subjective consciousness, while the smaller one did not have much consciousness.

At this moment, the weak Zhou Liang directly ordered the system:
"System! Remove Zhou Zifang from my main consciousness and place him on that soul!"

[Ding! Peeling off…]

With a ding sound, the "Western Paradise" that had been spreading in Zhou Liang's eyes since the fusion gradually faded away from his eyes!
At the same time, Zhou Zifang's figure gradually faded from his sight...

At the last moment, Jile Tianzun smiled and bowed to him:
"Goodbye!"

As he spoke, before Zhou Liang could respond, he completely disappeared from his sight, not even a shadow left behind...

Goodbye.

Zhou Liang stared at it blankly for a long time before he sighed bitterly:
"Goodbye..."

People experience joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes; nature itself demands no sentimentality, and this, moreover, is a critical juncture where the world is crumbling. Zhou Liang couldn't afford to say anything more. Enduring the feeling of loss and the weakness brought on by the severance of his primordial spirit, Zhou Liang waited no longer, suppressing his turmoil and grabbing the fragmented primordial spirit.

Then he pushed open the unknown golden door that had been closed for ten years!
At this last moment, Zhou Liang tried to see clearly what was on the other side of the door, but he could only see a chaos and nothing else.

That unknown time and space is mysterious, fearful, and full of curiosity...

With a sigh, Zhou Liang no longer hesitated and threw the red soul in his hand, which held all his hopes, into it!

In an instant, the soul disappeared!

The golden door slowly closed, and could no longer be opened, as if it had completed its mission and task...

Zhou Liang sat back under the old crooked tree with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

After calming down a bit, he finally spoke:

"system!"

【Ding! 】

“Is it possible to simulate this?”

[Ding! After testing, simulation is possible!]

"Then start the simulation!"

[Ding! Loading the simulation plot...]

……

【Ding! Loading successfully! 】

【…】

On a certain day of a certain year and month, you split your soul and passed through a mysterious golden gate. After a dizzying journey beyond your comprehension, you successfully arrived in an unknown world...

Although you are completely lost in thought due to the severance of your soul, and have virtually no self-awareness, under the guidance of a mysterious figure in your hallucination, you slowly begin your first exploration of another world...

You look up at the sky and see only a solitary moon hanging high in the sky.

You look around and see nothing but desolation.

You think about it and decide you should find someone to ask about your current situation and background, to find out exactly where this place is. So you expand your search area...

[After searching for a long time, you finally found a village! ]

[You rush forward in delight, ready to ask someone... But when you finally arrive at the village, you're shocked to find it's completely silent, with not a single living soul in sight!]

Where are the people? Where have they gone?

You searched everywhere, but ultimately found nothing... Eventually, you had no choice but to leave the village and continue searching nearby...

[So, you found many villages in a row... but without exception, there were no living people in these villages, only dead silence.]

You're perplexed by this, while the mysterious figure in your hallucination becomes lost in thought... After a moment's reflection, he tells you: These abandoned villages appear to have fallen into disrepair. It seems no one has lived there for nearly a hundred years!

[This time coincides with the "Golden Light from the Sky" incident in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign... Furthermore, since this area is accessible after passing through the Golden Light Gate, it's possible that the creation of these abandoned villages is related to this event.]

He even boldly speculated: The origin of the "Golden Light from the Sky" was most likely here! And the reason why so many villages were destroyed back then was most likely the cause of the "Golden Light from the Sky"!

Perhaps a disaster had occurred here in the past, leaving the village abandoned and people dead or fleeing. This disaster also caused the "golden light from outer space" to cross the barriers of time and space and land in the world of Daming...

[These speculations are very reasonable, even if you don’t understand them! ]

But what's strange is that even after searching all these villages, no one has found any remains... This is very strange, because if the disaster forced people to leave the villages, many people would have died, and those who died would have left behind traces such as remains.

[But here... you haven't seen any human remains, and every house shows no signs of being looted...]

Even stranger is that in every abandoned village you've discovered along the way, every household's granary is full... Even though the grain is no longer edible, it must have been one of people's most valuable possessions back then. Why would anyone leave without taking food?

"The absence of corpses means there weren't massive casualties, and people left the village on their own... The lack of food means they left suddenly, or even died suddenly... But if that's the case, don't the two contradict each other?"

After thinking about it, the mysterious person in the hallucination couldn't help but frown...

He didn't say much, though, only asking you to continue searching along the river. As long as there are still people alive, settlements will surely be found along the river. Keep searching, and you'll definitely find something.

【…】

[So, you don't know how far you've searched, but it must have been at least dozens or hundreds of miles before you finally found an inhabited village!]

[From afar, you see people busy in the fields. Searching for them in vain, you quickly approach them, attempting to strike up a conversation using the techniques taught to you by the mysterious illusionist, in order to find out exactly where you are.]

[But as you get closer, you gradually realize something is wrong...]

[Those "people" working the fields looked like living people, but their bodies had a translucent appearance that was very similar to your spirit body... No! They were clearly spirits!]

[However, unlike your red soul, their souls are a strange pink...]

[Seeing this, your muddled mind wasn't quite able to consider the pros and cons, but your instinctive vigilance still made you hesitate, and your pace gradually slowed.]

[But the distance is so close that you can see them, and they can naturally see you, so soon someone noticed you and gradually approached...]

As the distance between the two sides continued to close, they apparently noticed the unique crimson color on your body, and their surprise grew even more intense!

[Until you two are so close, the first communication between the two sides officially begins...]

"What are you doing!"

【The leader questioned you.】

You scratch your head, your gaze fixed on the mysterious figure in your illusion... The mysterious figure spreads his hands, signaling you to proceed freely.

Then you understand and confidently say, "Ah Ba Ah Ba Ah Ba!"

[Everyone:?]

Everyone was puzzled, but after some thought, they brought you to the village. You soon learned the name of this country from them...

"Great Song!"
