Lu Mo’s consciousness returned to reality once again.
However, this time, she didn’t feel any pain or intense discomfort.
As a bystander watching Elia’s subsequent story, it felt more like watching a movie through a curtain. She could adjust the playback speed of the story, and many scenes inside the curtain flickered past at high speed.
Sometimes, she would return the speed to normal. Then, she would step inside the curtain to accompany Elia.
Even though Elia couldn’t see her.
“At the end of the story… did Elia see me?”
Lu Mo murmured, her mind still filled with the image of Elia sprinting toward her recklessly, reaching out a hand.
Perhaps it was just Elia’s hallucination? It was that final illusion that created such a coincidence.
In any case, this Simulated Reincarnation had ended and was completely closed. Elia, the Frostspeak Empire, and the Ice Orchid Institute had all turned into bubbles. She would never again see that figure who cried and ran toward her, calling out “Sister Lu Mo.”
**[The Host and Elia spent a total of five years and three months together.]**
**[When the Host fell in the Simulated Reincarnation, Elia survived past the age of 18, her realm reached the Transcendent rank, and she fully awakened the Frostspeak Bloodline.]**
**[All tasks have been completed.]**
**[Issuing rewards now.]**
**[Reward 1: The Host receives Xue Yue’s cultivation talent.]**
**[Reward 2: The Host unlocks all memories and content of the Shadow Moon Secret Manual.]**
**[Reward 3: The Host receives the special talent, Light and Shadow.]**
The system rewards were distributed immediately.
Lu Mo felt as if some kind of shackle had been opened within her body. Immediately after, the world before her eyes seemed different than before. The world seemed a bit more vivid than it used to be. She felt the flow of various energies in the air.
She also felt… a strong hunger.
Of course, it wasn’t the kind of suppression from before. Rather, after obtaining the ability to cultivate, her body was reacting to the energy flowing in the outside world. Her body instinctively wanted to absorb these energies.
‘Sequence-level cultivation aptitude…’ Lu Mo murmured.
If she followed the progress of the first Simulated Reincarnation, it would only take a few years for her to catch up with most of her peers in the Thrassyll Family.
The memories of the *Shadow Moon Secret Manual* in her mind were no longer blurry. Various swordsmanship techniques, ultimate arts, and forbidden spells surfaced clearly. She already knew how to perform the vast majority of them.
The status of the *Shadow Moon Secret Manual* in the real world was likely no lower than the national secret arts of the Night Ripple Empire.
Finally, there was the Light and Shadow talent. The power of Light and Shadow was unquestionable. Lu Mo could solo the Ice Orchid Institute using only light attribute power, let alone when both attribute powers erupted together.
Cultivation talent, the *Shadow Moon Secret Manual*, and Light and Shadow…
How should she put it? It was as if she had brought the identity of Xue Yue from the Simulated Reincarnation into reality.
As a result, although the so-called Three-Year Agreement was still somewhat pressing, she didn’t feel as desperate as before. The sense of pressure Cthilla exerted on her was no longer as terrifying. At the very least, she wouldn’t have to use a HAPPY item to hang herself in her room anymore.
**[The second Simulated Reincarnation is being prepared.]**
**[Once the countdown is complete, the Host may choose to begin.]**
**[Time remaining: 2 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.]**
“There are still 3 days?”
Looking at the countdown on the light screen, Lu Mo spoke, “It seems that should be when I arrive at Blue Feather Academy.”
“Lu Mo will return in *Avengers 5: Doomsday*.”
Looking at the countdown, Lu Mo couldn’t help but make a final snarky comment.
With cultivation aptitude and talent, Lu Mo could finally begin practicing.
The next day, she went to the family library to browse through various ancient texts. Although she had already gained many secret arts and combat techniques in the first Simulated Reincarnation, the family’s collection was not of poor quality. Even though she only had the permissions of an ordinary family member, she still gained a lot after half a day.
She stayed in the historical books section for a long time. In the ancient books, she found the Frostspeak Empire and the Shadow Moon Hall. Both truly existed. Elia had also once been the Empress of the Frostspeak Empire.
However, the historical records were completely different from her experiences in the Simulated Reincarnation.
In history, Elia had shown a powerful Frostspeak Bloodline since childhood and ascended the throne in her 18th year, becoming the new Frostspeak Empress. Later, when the Shadow Moon Hall invaded the Frostspeak Empire’s territory, Elia was furious and led the imperial guards to the Shadow Moon Hall, crushing them in one fell swoop.
Elia’s name as the Empress became famous throughout the entire domain that day.
The night of blood and fire, the time at the Ice Orchid Institute, the day of coronation… those pains did not exist in the historical records.
‘I get it!’
Lu Mo suddenly realized, ‘The so-called Simulated Reincarnation must be a virtual world created by the system. It captures my memory fragments, emotional fluctuations, and bits of conversation with others, combining them with parts of this world’s history. It’s all meant to enhance immersion. In reality, the story of the Simulated Reincarnation has no connection to history or reality at all.’
In the first Simulated Reincarnation, Lu Mo had actually wondered if her actions would affect the future. But now it seemed that such thoughts were unnecessary.
That afternoon, Lu Mo returned to her residence. After packing her luggage, she sat in the hall with her maid, waiting for the people from the main branch to arrive. It was time for them to head to Blue Feather Academy.
Before long, a middle-aged man walked into the hall and stood before Lu Mo.
“Are you Lu Mo? We can leave now,” he spoke, looking at Lu Mo not as a person, but more like a tool.
Lu Mo had nothing to say to the man. She simply stood up and followed behind him.
“This time, I am here to take you to Blue Feather Academy. You should know that the family is giving you this opportunity out of pity. Once you enter the academy, you should know what to do and what not to do. Passing your academy life quietly and getting your diploma will be good for you and the entire family.”
Along the way, the man spoke to her with a mix of kindness and authority. Lu Mo responded casually, her mind already thinking about how to maximize the use of the academy’s resources.
If she used all those treasures and cultivation resources on herself in the academy, how much would her strength increase compared to the Simulated Reincarnation?
She and her maid boarded the family’s flying vehicle. Before long, the vehicle took off in the twilight, soaring into the clouds.
***
At the same time, in the Sanctuary.
A man fell to his knees with a thud. If anyone else were present, they would be incredibly shocked—this man was the Pope! Why would he kneel like this, and with such an expression of disbelief!
“Your Holiness… you…” the Pope looked at the young girl before him, speaking with difficulty.
The girl’s status was far above the Pope’s; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was the primary person beneath the Sanctuary’s deities. Yet such a being had changed into a Saintess uniform, tied her hair into twin tails, and approached him with a cute expression. Then, she ordered him to include her in the group heading to Blue Feather Academy and handle her enrollment procedures.
“What? Do I not look like a Saintess? Or are you unwilling to do this?”
Seeing the Pope remain motionless, the girl’s gaze turned cold. “It seems I need to find a more obedient Pope—”
An invisible pressure rippled out. In an instant, the entire hall showed signs of collapsing.
“No, no, no… it’s not like that!” the Pope hurriedly spoke. “You look exactly like one! Your Holiness looks just like an innocent young Saintess now! I will immediately handle what Your Holiness has requested! It is my honor to serve Your Holiness!”
The next second, the man felt the pressure completely vanish. Looking up, he saw the girl smiling at him. “It is best that the Pope is willing to cooperate. Then I will wait for your good news. I hope the Pope is a man of his word, otherwise…”
Before long, the girl departed. But the Pope remained kneeling on the floor, unable to stand. He didn’t understand why Her Holiness would suddenly appear before him and make such a request.
—
In an empty corridor, the girl in the Saintess uniform looked up at the night sky and spoke softly.
“Do you think we will meet?”
“Master… Lu Mo…”
