    ...


    “The development of Ailache’s wasteland reclamation seems a bit slow, go and lend a hand,” said the demon-hunting layman slowly.


    “Thank you, my Lord,” the devil hero’s eyes gleamed with a hint of sharpness. For him, power struggles were trivial; what mattered was the delegation of powers to him.


    “Are Ancient Gods really that powerful?” the True Dragon Emperor murmured to himself.


    “Perhaps... If I kill Wang Junzi and the demon-hunting layman, and then take over their territories, will I then have enough strength?” Zhu Ming’s expression was gloomy.


    “What a pity, without enough instance scrolls. If I had them and received another X-level evaluation reward, maybe I could break the stalemate.”


    “If only that Lord of the Red Wind Territory would serve me, my Ministry of Industry is still in need of a Chief of Staff,” Zhu Ming sighed.


    “Wang Junzi’s tenfold amplification has been exposed; it really suits the Undead Clan best, but I wonder what the demon-hunting layman’s initial talent is.” He had fought these two in the simulator countless times, but never once had he identified their talents.


    “Fortunately, there’s still a year’s time; I still have a chance,” Zhu Ming hadn’t given up, a year was indeed enough.


    “This really is a good thing, too bad it’s the last one. Well, let’s get stronger after passing and obtaining X-level rewards; something about the Ancient God Revival seems a bit off.”


    [Your talent Ancient God Resistance (Blue) has been upgraded to Ancient God Resistance (Purple).]


    [You have died.]


    [A powerful demon is beguiling you into devolving power through seduction.]


    7th Rank servers could still hold on, only facing a desperate situation with the dual onslaught of the Ancient Gods, while 6th Rank servers simply couldn’t withstand it.


    There is an X-rating above the SSS-rating.


    An X-rating doesn’t just have ten rewards like the SSS-rating, but earns all the rewards. Below X-rating, you get a random pick of ten rewards, which means you’re guaranteed to have things like Reclassification Certificates, Profession Expansion Slots, Building Blueprints, Resources, and so on.


    The X-rating is the final evaluation. There’s nothing beyond it; and he could get this X-rating through the simulator’s talent for instance scrolls, otherwise, how could he achieve it.


    And he could still banter with a group of devils who might stab him in the back at any moment and suppress these demons with a counter move.


    But no matter, he guessed that once the servers reached the 8th Rank, the enemy’s self-destruction wouldn’t work anymore. Then it would be his turn to see what they would do.


    Not only could he know the thoughts and potential of others, but he could also be alerted to various opportunities and clearly understand the crises facing him.


    Even though he tended to die easily during simulations in the past, he guessed it was because the heavens envied his Simulator Talent, hence the high mortality rate within the simulations. Fortunately, he rapidly grew stronger and turned the tables on those dangers by using the Simulator and the simulation-derived Talents he acquired.


    He didn’t care about the loyalty of these two races, only about their value and benefits.


    His Holy Dragon Nest was obtained through multiple simulations from the very beginning.


    He hadn’t expected neither Jiang Tianjun’s background nor the Sea Dragon King’s could help him advance to Rank 7, let alone resist the Ancient Gods when they revived later on.


    He is currently still at Rank 6, but once he ascends to Rank 7, he will definitely succeed.


    Originally named Zhu Ming, he was the Emperor of the Great Yan. After the world’s destruction, he came to the Magic Continent and became a Lord. Then, he awoke a Talent named Simulator, which allowed him to continuously simulate the future, gain the upper hand, and acquire corresponding Talents as supplements.


    Talents are categorized into seven ranks: white, green, blue, purple, orange, red, and glittering gold.


    He gradually rose by recruiting demons and, using a combination of cunning and personal strength, he suppressed the Demon Clan.


    This devil hero before him desired power, so he gave it, but whether he could grasp it depended on his own skills. Let them struggle, the fiercer the fight, the more stable his territory.


    Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly allow Qin Muye to run wild outside.


    If it wasn’t for the Demon Clan’s penchant for backstabbing, they could be a powerful troop type.


    This means he could only simulate twice a day.


    It was for this reason that upon arriving in the Magic Continent, he gained Sin Temple, a top territory, through text prompts from his Insight into All Things Talent.


    Initially, he indeed found it tricky to deal with the two rebels, Jiang Tianjun and the Sea Dragon King, even dying many times due to divine jealousy. But, with continuous simulations through the Simulator, the birth of corresponding simulation Talents, and the constant refinement of preemptive plans, he eventually killed both of them without the other Lords even noticing.


    With the text prompts from Insight into All Things, the demonslaying layman easily balanced the entire territory and continuously enhanced his own strength amid the competition.


    With the Simulator at his disposal, he underwent dozens of simulations before finding a perfect assassination plan.


    This area is also the source of troops and heroes for the demonslaying layman. He had long since subdued and developed the region, turning the entire Purgatory into his own backyard.


    The True Dragon Emperor looked at the blood-red words “You Died” that appeared before him through his Simulator Talent, and his expression was very unpleasant.


    However, these Simulator Talent upgrades could not be evolved through refinement but only through simulation.


    As for others, he didn’t really take them seriously.


    Beneath the Sin Temple, there’s an entrance to Purgatory. Of course, this was not the Hell of the Horror World that Qin Muye knew, but a special space similar to the Underworld, teeming with the Demon and Devil races.
