My Longevity Simulation
chapter-442

Is the Small World not located in the same space-time as the Xuanhuang Realm?

As the woman in the green dress looked at Li Fan with a half-smile, his thoughts were racing.

Is it true, or false?

Is this a test, or a fabricated lie used as a bargaining chip?

In a flash, Li Fan quickly analyzed the situation.

If the other party had already figured out that he was a complete fraud, they wouldn’t waste time explaining anything.

Instead, the logical choice would be to either run away or set a trap to capture him and force a confession.

This meant that, to a large extent, the woman in green was still unsure of his identity.

After all, in the history of the Xuanhuang Realm, there really had been instances where the Small Worlds united to launch a counterattack against the Cultivation Realm.

If the Small World and the Xuanhuang Realm were not in the same space-time, and if he were truly an emissary of the "Messenger of the Federation of All Worlds", he would definitely be aware of this.

Given that the future of the empire was at stake, the Saint Master would not fabricate a lie that could be easily exposed.

Therefore, what she said might very well be the truth.

At the very least, it was true in the eyes of the woman in green.

A question naturally arose.

Since the Small World and the Xuanhuang Realm are not in the same space-time, then why, when faced with the threat of the Immortal Ruins, didn’t the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm choose to escape to the Small World through the Path of Immortal Severance and sever all ties with the Xuanhuang Realm?

If Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, and Dao Integration stage cultivators might struggle due to the lack of spiritual energy in the Small World and inability to cut off the passage, then for Longevity Immortal, these limitations should be negligible.

So why didn’t the Longevity Immortal escape?

The answer to this question could only be one of three possibilities: they were unafraid, unwilling, or unable.

Unafraid?

In his past life, the The One Unified Heart Heavenly Sovereign retreated in the face of the spirit-locking formation’s threat of mutual destruction. This indicates that even Longevity Immortal couldn’t survive the Immortal Ruins.

Thus, this possibility could be ruled out.

Unwilling? Righteous and resolute, they would rather die than leave. Following the Xuanhuang Realm to fall into the Immortal Ruins?

Judging from the current cultivation paths of the cultivators in this realm, this wouldn’t be the choice of the present Longevity Immortal.

This leaves only one answer.

The Longevity Immortal are unable to leave the Xuanhuang Realm?

As this thought crossed his mind, Li Fan found it absurd and laughable.

The strength of Longevity Immortal-stage cultivators was terrifying.

How could it be possible...

But Li Fan suddenly froze.

What if... What if it were true?

For a long time, Li Fan had a question.

Why does going against the principles of heaven and earth lead to achieving longevity?

All living beings have a finite lifespan.

Even the so-called "Longevity Species" in legends only live a bit longer than ordinary creatures.

If there’s anything in the Xuanhuang Realm that truly deserves the term "longevity," it would likely be the world itself.

Why does defying the principles of heaven and earth lead to a complete transformation?

Allowing cultivators to live as long as the heavens and earth?

"Principles of heaven and earth, going against the principles of heaven and earth..."

Suddenly, an image flashed through Li Fan’s mind.

In his past life, when Ji Hongdao faced Senior Sister Zhao’s aggressive questioning, he once said, "After a Heavenly Sovereign establishes a Dao Law, they should no longer engage in mundane disputes."

"Dao Law."

These two words were like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the fog.

They made Li Fan notice something he had overlooked for a long time.

All beings live without worry and enjoy life.

All beings must respect and follow the cultivation methods of the Heavenly Sovereign who transmits the Dao Law.”

These rules, which defy common sense, now truly exist between heaven and earth.

In other words...

After reversing the original principles of heaven and earth, the Dao law established by Heavenly Sovereign replaced them, becoming new principles of heaven and earth and thus becoming part of the world.

It was for this reason that the Heavenly Sovereign have gained a lifespan as long as that of the heavens and earth.

Likewise, it was for this reason that the Longevity Immortal couldn’t leave the Xuanhuang Realm.

Before reaching the Longevity immortal stage, cultivators were like bandits who entered a house and plundered its furniture and treasures, stuffing them into their pockets.

But some greedy individuals set their sights on the house itself.

They wanted to take over the house and claim it as their own.

They succeeded, but in doing so, they triggered the house’s ultimate countermeasure.

The door slammed shut, and while they became the owners of the house, they were also forever trapped inside.

"Is this the world's retaliation?"

Li Fan suddenly had an epiphany.

He had understood one principle earlier.

When faced with cultivators who sought to plunder the heavens and the earth, the world itself was not entirely powerless to resist.

Apart from the suddenly established law that immortal techniques cannot be cultivated simultaneously, and the descent of the Spirit of Heaven and Earth to perform its duties, which are measures targeting ordinary cultivators. the world also took extreme measures against those powerful enough to threaten it.

That measure was: "If you can’t beat them, recruit them."

This tactic was indeed effective.

Because after achieving the Longevity immortal, the Sovereign’s allegiance shifted from that of cultivators to that of the world itself.

If cultivators recklessly plunder the heavens and earth without restraint, it could eventually lead to the world’s exhaustion and decline.

And the Longevity immortals, who had become one with the world, had to intervene to prevent such a catastrophe.

Therefore, the number of cultivators had to be controlled.

This was one of the reasons why the number of cultivators couldn’t be too large.

Li Fan thought back to when the Ten immortal Sects offered a reward for the Xuantian Treasure Mirror.

They claimed that anyone who possessed this mirror could exchange it for a seat as a Longevity Immortal.

"It seems that in ancient times, the Longevity Immortal stage might also have been achieved by some means of stealing the original principle of longevity from the world."

Li Fan mused.

After this line of reasoning, Li Fan felt a slight sense of disappointment.

The Longevity Immortals of the Xuanhuang Realm seemed to fall short of his ideal of "longevity."

They merely borrowed the power of the world to gain a lifespan that wasn’t truly their own.

"Fake longevity, huh..."

"But strictly speaking, it’s not something particularly unacceptable."

"After all, the 'Longevity Immortal Stage' in this realm was merely an attempt by cultivators to extend their lives after the Immortal Path was severed in the Xuanhuang Realm."

"And it might not be impossible to go further."

Li Fan thought of the Dao Transmission Heavenly Sovereign who disappeared in his past life.

"This pioneer of new methods might have already broken free from the world’s constraints."

"No wonder in the last life, the Heavenly Sovereign Of Dao Transmission didn’t appear for thousands of years. And even when wars broke out from time to time, the Sovereigns of the Five Elders Association never intervened."

"Because in the eyes of the Five Elders Association’s Sovereigns, if the Longevity Immortals stage can’t leave the Xuanhuang Realm, then the Dao Transmission Sovereign must still be somewhere."

"They were held back merely by an agreement on a piece of paper."

"Until later, when they realized something was wrong, they became desperate to act personally..."

The effects of the Enlightenment Pill hadn’t completely faded.

In a sudden flash of insight, through a fact inadvertently revealed by the woman in green, Li Fan deduced a possible and logically consistent truth about the Xuanhuang Realm.

[New TL Notes: I'm disappointed to see that "My Longevity Simulation" has been dropped again, this time by another translator. As one of my favorite ongoing xianxia novels, it's disheartening to see it without a reliable English translation. Many of you have been eager to read this story in well-translated English but were forced to rely on mtl or raw chapters. I believe this story and our community deserve better!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be translating "My Longevity Simulation"!

But Please note that I'm already working on another novel, "The Path of Immortality: Starts with Creating Water Bear Gu."

• Some Important Details To Note*

As the third translator of this novel, I would like to bring to your attention that there may be slight variations in wording, terminology, techniques, and naming conventions compared to previous translations.

Just a heads up - you might notice some weirdness with names and stuff at first, but don't worry, it gets easier as you keep reading! The more you dive in, the more familiar everything will feel.

Since many chapters have already been translated by previous translators, I'll start translating from chapter 439, right after the previous translation ended.
