Infinite simulation from lock dragon well

In the 108,009,000th year, you arrived at the tribe where Dijun's reincarnation resided. After some thought, you decided to offer Dijun's reincarnation some assistance.

You knew that the current Dijun was in a state of confusion, unaware of his path. Therefore, if you were to help Dijun, the best way would be to help his reincarnation overcome this period of uncertainty.

After pondering for a long time, you transformed into an old man and approached Dijun's reincarnation. Facing him, you smiled and asked if he desired to embark on the path of cultivation.

Dijun's reincarnation looked at you with confusion, asking what cultivation was.

Your answer was simple: cultivation is the acquisition of immense power. With this power, one can achieve anything one desires.

Dijun's reincarnation remained confused, tentatively asking if cultivation could grant immortality, prevent death, and protect loved ones from dying.

You directly answered, 'It can'.

Upon hearing this, Dijun's reincarnation's eyes lit up, and he replied that he wanted to cultivate.

Then, as if realizing something, Dijun's reincarnation suddenly knelt before you, begging you to guide him in cultivation.

You unhesitatingly accepted Dijun as your disciple. On the spot, based on Dijun's physical condition, you instantly created a suitable method for him. In reality, cultivation has no fixed method. The method you created merely allowed Dijun to absorb spiritual energy more quickly.

After accepting Dijun as your disciple, you kept him by your side, preparing to guide him.

Dijun's reincarnation, never imagined that one day, you would become his teacher.

Truly, it is fate and destiny.

Ji Zheng felt helpless.

He never imagined that he would one day become Dijun's teacher, instructing Dijun.

Even though this was just Dijun's reincarnation, it was shocking enough.

"Dijun wants to awaken his true spirit, but it probably won't be that simple. The simulation mentioned that Dijun has already reincarnated several times."

"Teaching Dijun should help him awaken his true spirit, right?"

Ji Zheng thought to himself.

Then, he continued to look at the simulation.

The simulation continued.

… …

In the 108,009,009th year, you taught Dijun's reincarnation cultivation, taught him various principles, and gradually guided him to glimpse and understand his own Dao.

While teaching various knowledge, you also took Dijun to visit various human tribes, allowing him to gradually digest the knowledge you taught him through travel.

… …

In the 108,009,017th year, you took Dijun's reincarnation to many, many places. Dijun's reincarnation would ponder for a long time each place he experienced, seemingly contemplating the differences between them.

You didn't pay much attention to this, allowing Dijun's reincarnation to think freely.

… …

In the 108,009,020th year, Dijun's reincarnation asked you a very interesting question.

Dijun's reincarnation asked you, 'We have experienced many places, and the rulers in each place are different, but they are mostly incompetent. I want to know, what kind of ruler is a good ruler?'

Upon hearing this, you glanced at Dijun's reincarnation and, after thinking for a moment, replied, 'In my opinion, a good ruler can be divided into three types: The first is a virtuous ruler, who can eliminate people's disasters, save them from death, and relieve their urgent needs, ensuring they are well-fed and clothed.'

'The second is a righteous ruler, who shares the joys and sorrows of the people, sharing their likes and dislikes.'

'The third is a ruler who has attained the Dao, who brings benefits and gains to everyone in the world, and can make everyone submit. The place where a ruler who has attained the Dao resides will attract people from all over the world to gather there.'

You paused here, then looked at Dijun's reincarnation and further clarified that these three types of beings can be called good rulers.

After listening, Dijun's reincarnation pondered again. You didn't disturb him, quietly waiting for him to finish thinking.

… …

In the same year, after Dijun's reincarnation finished thinking, he raised his head to look at you. Dijun's reincarnation stated that these three types of rulers cannot represent all good rulers.

You looked at Dijun's reincarnation with interest, asking him what else he considered to be a good ruler.

Dijun's reincarnation pondered for a long time before saying to you, 'In my opinion, a good ruler should treat all living beings as equal to himself, not alienating them because he is a ruler, and should prioritize the well-being of all living beings and all things.'

Upon hearing this, you showed no reaction on the surface, only a smile, but your heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

This Dijun, even after reincarnation, still remembers his former Dao?

What Dijun's reincarnation said just now is the prototype of his former Dao, the Dao of all living beings.

This Dijun reincarnation…

Is too…

Ji Zheng didn't know what to say.

In the end, even after reincarnation, he still remembers his former Dao…

"Dijun, ah Dijun…"

Ji Zheng sighed in his heart.

In fact, he hoped that Dijun could change his Dao.

The Dao of all living beings is too bitter and extremely difficult to walk. This Dao is like a circle of shackles, locking oneself in.

Many things are involuntary, but must be done. The Dijun in the simulation has already sacrificed himself for this Dao, sacrificing his countless years of cultivation.

Dijun has already reincarnated. Since he has reincarnated, there is no need to continue to adhere to this Dao.

But looking at the trend in the simulation, if he doesn't change it, I'm afraid Dijun will still embark on this old path.

Everything depends on whether he in the simulation will change Dijun's path.

Ji Zheng thought to himself.

He raised his eyes and continued to look at the simulation.

The simulation continued.

… …

In the same year, you were surprised in your heart, but you didn't show anything on the surface. You praised Dijun's reincarnation for his high comprehension.

But after praising him, you told Dijun's reincarnation that whether it is a good ruler or a bad ruler, it is the Dao of a ruler, and everyone should have their own Dao.

You bluntly said that the Dao of a ruler is not suitable for Dijun's reincarnation.

However, Dijun's reincarnation showed an eager look, saying to you, 'If I don't try, how will I know if it's not suitable for me?'

Seeing this, you knew that you couldn't stop your good friend and disciple. You asked Dijun's reincarnation, 'Could it be that you want to rise up and create your own kingdom?'

Dijun's reincarnation shook his head, saying that a good ruler doesn't need to do that. Does becoming a ruler require having one's own kingdom?

Looking at Dijun's reincarnation as if he had been enlightened, you suddenly fell silent in your heart… …
