“Brother, I can finally make amends for my mistakes.”
The myriad worlds trembled.
The sea of realms surged.
After an unknown number of years, a chilling figure radiating killing intent that pierced through ancient and modern times, with eyes that could suppress myriad realms, stepped out of the immortal realm, carrying a blood-stained wooden sword.
With a stride, she set foot upon the River of Time.
Under her terrifying pressure, the waters representing the past, present, and future all boiled, splashing with torrential waves, each droplet weighing as much as a small world.
“Hum——”
Xu Moli gently raised her delicate hand, and time reversed in her grasp, rewriting the flow of years.
How many years had passed since her brother's death?
Xu Moli could hardly remember.
All she knew was that from that day onward, she had lost all hope and support, her only driving force being the obsession to revive her brother, pushing her body to ceaselessly cultivate.
Finally.
She broke through to the realm above the Immortal Emperor, achieving an unprecedented supremacy, capable of ignoring causality and reversing time. With this power beyond the Immortal Emperor, she was sure to save her brother from the past!
Thinking of this, the ageless beauty could not help but reveal a faint smile.
“Rumble! Rumble!”
The River of Time was cut off.
Her white as jade hand reached upstream, accurately pinching a small world carrying a familiar aura from the endless droplets, which was the small world Xu Moli had ascended from.
The past was extracted, transforming into tangible scenes.
After a long separation, Xu Moli once again saw that familiar face, witnessing her brother's gentle and caring demeanor as he raised the young her.
She also saw the year she turned seventeen, when her brother sacrificed his own life to forcibly save the girl.
“Brother.”
A soft murmur carried countless emotions.
The River of Time trembled, and the supreme power was exerted at her fingertips, gently reaching out to seize her brother from the past, wanting to forcibly bring him to her side.
But——
With a crisp sound of a bubble bursting, the cold woman's fingers passed straight through Xu Xi, unable to affect him in the slightest, no matter how much strength she exerted, she could not touch him at all.
“No, this can't be.”
Xu Moli panicked.
She tried to retrieve other things from the past.
Everything went smoothly, her power that surpassed myriad worlds and realms made the constraints of time powerless to stop her, yet she could not touch her brother.
Again and again!
Again and again!!
Again and again!!!
No matter how many times she tried, she could only see Xu Xi living in the past, but could never truly touch him.
Like the moon in water and the flower in a mirror.
Although visible, they were separated by an infinite distance, making it impossible to touch.
“Why... why has it come to this...”
“It shouldn't be like this...”
“Why won't you give me a chance to make amends...”
Finally, Xu Moli gave up her countless attempts, deeply realizing that she would never be able to save her beloved brother.
Looking at the memories of the two of them in the River of Time.
She cried for the first time in a long while.
It was a silent cry.
Very quiet, very sad.
No sounds were made, only tears continuously fell, blending into the River of Time, but the sorrow-filled teardrops, even when washed by time, did not diminish in the slightest.
“...Brother, I'm sorry.”
In the end, the girl who had surpassed countless beings, reaching an impossible realm.
Curled herself into a small ball.
Letting her consciousness sink, falling into endless darkness, to escape the despair that could not be rewritten.
Opening her eyes, the darkness was pierced by warm sunlight.
Unlike before, when she woke up in the cultivation world, this time Xu Xi woke up in a room in the real world.
“It feels like I had a very long dream.”
The sun was at its peak, still daytime.
Shining in from the window.
Illuminating everything in the room.
This wasn't because Xu Xi slept too little, but because he had slept for over ten hours, reaching the morning of the next day.
After all, the things he did before the simulation ended completely surpassed human limits, putting an immense burden on his spirit.
“I wonder how Moli is doing after my death.”
“With her talent, I shouldn't have to worry, but thinking about never seeing her again, I feel a bit melancholic.”
Xu Xi sat up in bed, catching the sunlight in his palm, warm and comfortable, and sighed.
He was actually a bit of a recluse.
Especially after his legs were crippled, he rarely interacted with outsiders.
This simulation experience allowed him to enjoy a normal life for seventeen years. Honestly, Xu Xi felt truly satisfied.
However.
Thinking about the girl's despairing, tear-stricken face when the simulation ended.
Xu Xi couldn't help but sigh, feeling uneasy.
“Simulated life, huh...”
“It really is as the simulator said, an experience like a second life, just not quite the beautiful life it initially promised.”
Xu Xi clicked his tongue lightly.
Then began checking the system notifications that he hadn't had the chance to look at due to being too tired and sleepy after the simulation ended.

Xu Xi: ?
The first three achievements are quite normal, why did the last one suddenly change the tone?
“Judging from the description, the 'Him' refers to Moli, right?” Xu Xi pondered, “It seems that after my death, Moli became someone extraordinary.”
His concern for the girl lessened slightly.
Xu Xi continued checking the simulator panel.

his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall?

"Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
