Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

However, before going back, there's one thing to do: review the simulation. Simulation runs are invaluable; each one must be taken seriously. We can't afford to repeat the same mistakes we made in the simulation, otherwise, the simulation loses its purpose. However, in this simulation, he couldn't change many things; it was mostly about changing some information.

First of all, he was finally relieved about one thing: the highest combat power of the demon race and the highest combat power of the human race were equal. This meant that the demon race was at least safe, and Yunhaize was at least safe. They were definitely weaker in terms of high-level combat power, but the equal strength of their highest combat power was enough to keep Yunhaize safe, and even had a certain possibility of expansion.

He didn't know what the upper echelons were playing, but what he needed to know was that he shouldn't be so attention-seeking in future battles. Wasn't his death in the simulator this time precisely because he was too attention-seeking, which made the Foundation Establishment cultivator on the other side determined to kill him?

In reality, he would definitely have to pay attention to this issue, but there was still something he didn't understand: why would that cultivator rather be injured than not kill him? This didn't make sense. After he was injured, he probably wouldn't be a match for the Xuan Turtle Demon General, so why did the other party insist on killing him? Logically speaking, that viper was a mid-grade spirit beast with a bloodline and aptitude far superior to his own. Why would he eat the enemy's backlash? He had to find a way to understand this matter.

He reviewed the simulation again to make sure no information was missed before leaving with Bai Ming. They were even more careful on their way, since Bai Ming's cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining was a bit low, making it much less effective at concealing her presence. Fortunately, they arrived safely. He cast a Water Control Technique on Bai Ming and took her to pay her respects to the Serpent King. However, she waited outside while Gu Yuchuan went in personally.

Upon entering the cave, he sensed that the aura emanating from the Serpent King was even more formidable, almost reaching the point of perfection. The Serpent King's foundation was already extremely deep, and he was on the verge of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage. However, for his bloodline, the Foundation Establishment stage was not a hurdle.

Gu Yuchuan was sizing up the Viper King, and the Viper was also looking at Gu Yuchuan. Its eyes were a little cloudy. When they first met, it was just a low-grade demon beast at the early stage of Qi Refining. Now it was a high-grade demon beast at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Although its cultivation had increased quickly, it was nothing special. For the demon race, as long as the bloodline was strong, the increase in cultivation was like drinking water. It was the increase in bloodline that was truly remarkable. Back when it was first born as an animal, it was just a dragon snake. How much effort did it take to truly become a Viper?

Gu Yuchuan felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, but since the other party was his superior and he was his subordinate, he had to find a topic to talk about in this situation. He forced himself to laugh and said, "Your Majesty, this is the hundred catties of royal jelly that we seized this time. It's all in this jade bottle. Please take a look."

The Serpent King finally snapped out of his thoughts. Whatever opportunity the other party had had was none of his business. The Demon Lord had long ago issued an ironclad rule that demons with bloodlines could not attack each other, and he dared not violate that rule.

He took the jade bottle and divided out twenty catties. Even though he knew that Gu Yuchuan would definitely keep some for himself, that was his ability and his attitude, and he had to give it to him.

Gu Yuchuan was overjoyed and accepted the twenty catties of royal jelly. Although it wouldn't allow him to break through, it would be good for Bai Ming and Bai Li. No, the koi carp doesn't have a name yet. He'll name it when he gets back. Both of them have good abilities and are worth nurturing. How can he expect them to repay him in the future if he doesn't invest in them now? He felt this investment was worthwhile. Of course, he wouldn't give them any spiritual items that he needed himself.

"I knew you could do this. Judging from your cultivation level, you're far from being able to establish your own sect. You owe me a favor. I'll tell you two things that are extremely important to you."

His words seemed to have some kind of magic, making Gu Yuchuan's heart itch. He believed that the other party would not deceive him, and that the Serpent King's character was trustworthy.

“I am willing to give you guidance, Your Majesty. Even if I establish my own state in the future, I will never forget Your Majesty’s teachings.”

This meant he had agreed. The Serpent King flicked his tail, gesturing for him to lie down on the futon beside him, and the two giant pythons began to talk.

"The first thing is the issue of your future residence. The choice of river is also very important. The spiritual energy, whether there is a spiritual spring, and whether there are resources will all affect the later development. For example, when you enter my Yunxi Palace on Yunxi River, you can feel the rich spiritual energy. That's because it is built on the spring of a spiritual spring, so naturally the spiritual energy is abundant."

He nodded. He understood this principle and had thought about it before, but he didn't know any high-ranking officials and had no way to get a good river. However, today, the way had come. Since the King of Vipers had spoken, it meant that he could solve this problem.

He made his attitude even more respectful: "After hearing what Your Majesty said, I have suddenly understood. However, this humble demon really does not know how to obtain a good base. Please teach me, Your Majesty."

The viper glanced at him and said, "Alright, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I can help you, but as you know, I am under the command of the Xuan Turtle Demon General. This matter requires his intervention. Now that you are one of our own and have the potential to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, Lord Xuan Turtle will definitely help you."

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Although Yun Haize is safe now, the hierarchy is still very clear. His early success was due to the protection of the viper. He doesn't mind being nominally subordinate to others. He has already realized that the hierarchy here is more nominal. In reality, there are no real obligations, just some offerings, which he can accept.

"I refused Your Majesty back then because I was young and impetuous. Now that Your Majesty has once again tried to win me over, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse again. I just hope Your Majesty will not find me uncouth."

Now that things have come to this point, and the two are now colleagues, their attitudes and tones are naturally different.

"How could that be? I see that your bloodline is not low either. Once you advance to the level of a spirit beast, you will have an inheritance. This is the core of our demon race and the reason why our demon race has always produced powerful beings. I think you will definitely be able to advance to the level of a spirit beast. At that time, you will know everything."
