Infinite simulation from lock dragon well

#57 - Working for Jinwu?

In the upper reaches of the Huai River.

Ji Zheng widened his dragon eyes, staring intently at the screen in front of him.

The simulation within continued.

However, you observe that the number of humans gathering near the Huai River is increasing day by day. You know that these humans are seeking your protection. You remain unmoved. As long as it doesn't involve your Huai River, you are unwilling to interfere with anything else.]

...

[Day 34: The restlessness brought about by the spiritual energy recovery appears, but there are no changes within the Huai River. You know that it is due to the suppression by the demons of the Huai River, which keeps the Huai River stable.]

...

[Day 36: More and more humans gather on both sides of the Huai River. You know that if this continues, there will be trouble, but you don't want to manage matters outside the Huai River, so you don't pay much attention.]

[Day 37: As you expected, the Fei arrives again. This time, you have no intention of protecting the humans. You fly into the sky, riding the clouds and mist, using your dragon威 (wēi, might/majesty) to deter the Fei, declaring that the Huai River is under your protection. You don't care what happens to the humans, but no one is allowed to destroy even a fraction of the Huai River.

The Fei hears your words and stops, but does not leave, instead confronting you, seemingly hesitating...]

No way.

Is he going to fight this Fei again?

Ji Zheng was somewhat unwilling.

He could certainly kill the Fei.

But the Fei could also kill him.

If this simulation ends here.

He would really feel it was not worth it.

He still wanted to try and see how long he could live.

Ji Zheng was unwilling in his heart, but he could only continue watching the simulation.

He was stunned as soon as he looked at it.

He didn't die.

...

[Just as you are confronting each other, and you are ready to strike with all your might to protect the Huai River, the Huai River suddenly stirs up currents, surrounding your dragon body. You receive the blessing of the Huai River, and your authority as the Water God of the Huai River increases to twenty percent.

Having received the blessing of the Huai River, your aura suppresses the Fei. The Fei hesitates for a while, then chooses to retreat.

You breathe a sigh of relief and return to the Huai River...]

It can be like this?

The Huai River would actually bless him?

The authority actually increased to twenty percent?

What exactly is going on with this Huai River?

Ji Zheng's huge dragon head was full of doubts.

The last time he simulated, he was so flattering to the Huai River.

The Huai River didn't even acknowledge him.

But now it actively blesses him.

Filled with doubts, Ji Zheng continued to watch.

...

[Day 38: You continue to manage the Huai River. You vaguely sense that when you are near the Huai River, your dragon body will be strengthened in all aspects. You know that this is brought about by the authority reaching twenty percent.

At the same time, your subordinates report to you that more and more humans are gathering on both sides of the river. You tell them to manage the Huai River well.]

...

[Day 41: You suddenly sense a familiar aura. You know that this is the aura of the Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird. The Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird has discovered you and has come to seek revenge...]

Last time he simulated, the Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird didn't find him so quickly.

Is it because too many humans have gathered on both sides of the Huai River, making it more eye-catching?

Ji Zheng was stunned and came up with such an explanation.

...

[You sense the aura of the Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird and originally wanted to go out and fight it, but under the persuasion of your subordinate, the old turtle, your Dao heart is reawakened, and you choose to stay in the Huai River and wait.]

[Day 42: You notice that the Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird has used the old method again, calling dozens of demons from who knows where, wanting to slaughter the humans on both sides of the river. You don't care at all. You use a roar to tell the Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird to come down. It is impossible for you to leave the Huai River.

The Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird becomes anxious upon hearing this, but it seems to have noticed that you have already colluded with the Huai River, so it does not dare to enter the Huai River.]

[Day 43: The Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird is still hovering over the Huai River, waiting for you. You ignore it and manage the Huai River.]

...

[Day 47: The Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird seems to be impatient and wants to enter the Huai River. You lead the demons of the Huai River Dragon Palace, preparing to fight.

Just then, a great sun comes from the east. The Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird is terrified and wants to escape, but a streak of fire arrives first, directly incinerating the Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird.

You know that this is the arrival of the Golden Crow. Your dragon body instantly tenses, preparing for a desperate battle.

The great sun arrives, burning everything. When descending over the Huai River, it stops. You hear a voice in your heart, a voice that tells you to leave the Huai River. You know that this is the voice of the Golden Crow...]

Didn't die?

Ji Zheng was already prepared to be instantly killed by the Golden Crow.

He also knew that the Golden Crow's strength was far beyond what he could match.

The Great Peng Golden-Winged Bird was instantly killed.

He would probably be instantly killed too.

But this time, the Golden Crow didn't kill him? Instead, it told him to come out?

What is it going to do?

Filled with curiosity.

Ji Zheng continued to look at the screen.

...

[After hesitating again and again, you choose to leave the Huai River. In mid-air, you see a scorching great sun. Your dragon body is wrapped in currents. After approaching the great sun, you feel bursts of burning, but with your current strength, you can resist it.

From within that great sun, a cry comes, and you can instantly understand its meaning. The Golden Crow asks you if you are willing to submit to it.

You know that if you don't agree, you will die. You agree. From within the great sun, the Golden Crow's voice comes, telling you to guard the Huai River. The land east of the center is all the Golden Crow's territory. Your duty is to protect the Huai River. If you encounter an existence that you cannot resist, the Golden Crow will personally take action. After saying this, the Golden Crow leaves the Huai River.]

Submit to the Golden Crow?

There's such a plot?

Ji Zheng was stunned.

Before, when he encountered this Golden Crow, he would just die.

There wasn't so much to it.

But this time it's different.

He actually unlocked a new plot.

The reason why he can submit to the Golden Crow should be because he has twenty percent of the authority of the Water God of the Huai River, right?

The Golden Crow wants him to guard the Huai River.

That's good too.

With the protection of the Golden Crow, maybe he can live longer.

Maybe he can also extract more information about the past from the Golden Crow.
