Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

You discover that in Abbot City, the capital of Faric, the spread of steam engines and the dramatic shift from handcrafts to factory production have left vast numbers of workers, in this textile and diamond city, constantly unemployed and reduced to wandering. Coincidentally, the Faric Code contains a provision that states that any wanderer who fails to find work within a month, upon being reported, will be sentenced to slavery. Masters have the right to force them to work with chains and whips. As Das Kapital says, every pore of the capitalist is oozing with blood and filth.

Archibald was extremely worried about the situation in Abbot City. Some followers of the Ancient God, calling themselves the Cult of the Cursed God, had appeared in Abbot City and were secretly performing rituals to worship the Ancient God. The advent of the Ancient God would require a large amount of death, blood, disease, and hatred, and Abbot City was undoubtedly the most suitable place in the world.

But the Goodwin in your ring disagrees. He says this is inevitable. In the Eastern Continent, especially in the Kingdom of Falik, if you click on any place on the map with your eyes closed, you'll see the same situation everywhere... Deep down, you're more inclined to Goodwin's view. Looking at Earth, perhaps this is truly inevitable.

Seeing this, Zhou Ning was very sure that this simulated world was definitely the world of apocalypse... He didn't expect that he still underestimated the Curse God Cult. Their bloody struggle with the world had actually started as early as 1000 years ago. They were really determined to fight to the death and would never regret it, just like Yi Xiaochuan and Princess Yu Shu.

Zhou Ning's mouth twitched as he continued to look at the simulation.

On October 125, 10, while awaiting an audience with the Pope, you, Archibald, and Louisa temporarily separated. Archibald wanted to investigate the followers of the Old God, while Louisa was busy opening an alchemy shop in Abbot City. As for you, besides seeking to further understand this world, you were also interested in Goodwin's Life Alchemy. Besides its sinister alchemy of self-transformation, this alchemy had other advantages. For example, using only blood and herbs, you could create tiny, wriggling lives. These would split, spawn, and die within seconds, continuing to thrive, giving you a taste of the fun of playing a sandbox game. You obtained Life Alchemy (Intermediate).

A week later, on October 125, 10, you met Solomon Goss, Pope of the Church of the God of Alchemy and Craftsmen, in church. If you didn't mention his age, no one would have guessed he was nearly 19 years old. The transcendents of this world are truly long-lived. Then, with a complex look in his eyes, Solomon Goss told you: Edgeworth, the God of Craftsmen, is very fond of you and believes you are the Son of the Planes of this world. He wants you to use your wisdom to invent more things to expand the church's influence. In return, you will receive money, power, and strength. You were puzzled. Do you look like someone who would be corrupted by money and power? Well, he's a pretty good judge of character. It really is.

[On November 125, 11, you met a new companion, a girl named Jasmine Kronin. She is a priestess of the Sun Goddess and a favored one of her. A very beautiful girl, Archibald has been pursuing her. But the problem is, she is only 7 years old and is a beast.]

From November 125 to November 11, with the full support of the Church of the God of Alchemy and Craftsmanship, you invented lithography, created and improved screw-cutting machines, and invented steam-powered steamships. You even began researching steam trains capable of rapid intercontinental travel. Everything went smoothly for you during this period, and the Church of the God of Alchemy and Craftsmanship even secured for you the opportunity to become a noble. However, there were also some unpleasant aspects. Archibald's investigation uncovered numerous clues to the Cult of the Cursed, and your steam engine seemed to have become the trigger. Numerous deaths occurred in the western district of Abbot City, and workers at several textile mills began smashing and destroying machinery.

[History from past lives tells you that there are solutions to problems. If you were the king of the Kingdom of Falik, you would turn your attention to the vast ocean. As long as you could open up new land, you could alleviate some of the domestic conflicts.]

January 127, 1. Today marks the first day of your third year in this alien world. It's a special day for you. You met King Augustine IV of the Kingdom of Falik—a bloated, but surprisingly majestic man, even a time traveler like you felt awe. Thanks to your inventions and the efforts of the Church of the God of Alchemy and Craftsmen, you were granted the title of Baron and the right to establish a family.

However, the vision that followed astonished everyone present. During the conferring ceremony, golden holy light descended from the sky. After being blessed by the gods, you learned that you had gained a miraculous power called the clan precepts. From then on, as long as you and your bloodline adhered to the clan precepts, you would gain great power.

After a moment of contemplation, you establish your family motto: Knowledge is power. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashes between your eyes.

[January 127 - December 1: Due to this public divine favor, you began to gather more and more followers. The Church of the God of Alchemy and Craftsmen gradually surpassed the Church of the Earth and became the mainstream religion in the Kingdom of Falric. Your power grew.]

You purchased a luxurious property in Abbot City and hired a very capable butler, Brock Bradenlaizer.

For the past eight years, you've lived a smooth life, like every other chosen one. You married the daughter of a prominent noble, a truly stunning Western beauty, and subsequently had a son and a daughter, growing ever stronger. Pope Solomon Goss retired, and your old acquaintance, Chris Pond, took over as Pope. Louisa assumed the position of High Priest, effectively bringing the Church of the God of Alchemy and Craftsmanship under your complete control. Furthermore, your other friends have undergone significant changes. Archibald is now one of Abbot City's most powerful knights, favored by the God of Earth. Jasmine is a devout priest of the Ascetic Church, and you know she has a vague fondness for you. Goodwin, however, is the most frustrated. Because you've been so busy, he's never had time to practice Life Alchemy, leading to his constant complaints. You can only smile and reassure him, promising to do it next time.

[In addition, you completely sidelined Augustine IV, becoming the true king. Under your orders, countless steamships entered the sea, serfdom was completely abolished, a large number of unemployed artisans found new jobs, and acute social contradictions were greatly alleviated. You also preemptively won over the relatively neutral Ascetic Church, and after the New Year, you planned to force Augustine IV to abdicate and create the kingdom of your dreams.]

On January 136, the first day of the new year, as you were on your way to the palace, you unexpectedly died in an assassination plotted by the royalists, the Curse Cult, and a certain religious sect. Like many heroes whose ambitions were never fulfilled, you died before dawn.

you are dead.

The simulation ends.

Summary: A fairly brilliant life. You transformed the world with technology, even earning divine favor. One step away from becoming king and fundamentally changing the world. But you fell before dawn. Days later, the Cult of the Damned orchestrated a man-made mining disaster, sacrificing 2000 miners in the Dakelan Mine. This summoned the evil god Nyastra, but your friends sealed it away, trapping it beneath the Dakelan Mine. They also built a city above Dakelan, also named Dakelan. In your honor, during the Age of the Four Heroes, Dakelan was nicknamed the City of Tranquility. Despite controversy, you were still considered one of the greatest scientists in history, one of the ten greatest individuals who changed the course of history. However, for some reason, your deeds were buried in the dustbin of history, unknown to future generations.

Rating: C-, World Exploration: 41.8%. Because your exploration is over 40%, you've been awarded 18 Crossover Coins. For your significant impact on world scientific history, you've been awarded 15 Crossover Coins. Keep up the good work!
