ch-191 - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

[Upon hearing Nuwa's words, you immediately speak up and reveal your plan to her.] [It is to create a new race to defeat these deities and reclaim the land.] [However, this race is physically frail, far less powerful than the gods.] [But because of this, those bizarre items Zhulong acquired from the Lightless Sea can now be put to good use.] [These miscellaneous items are strange and powerful and can be given to this frail race to help them defeat the primordial deities.] As Su Mo continued reading, a prompt appeared before him. Seeing the sudden prompt, Su Mo was momentarily stunned. Then he began to read through it: [Given the over-the-top nature of your journey to the peak of life, the earlier text requires complete revision, and you must not have any entanglements with women...] [As a punishment, you will be a virgin for ten lifetimes.] ... ... ... Just a joke. The author received a notification that major revisions are necessary, as highlighted by the chapter's title. Various illustrations and bonus chapters have also been deleted. If revisions are possible, this book will continue to update; if not, at the end of this chapter, a synopsis of the continuation will be provided to reveal the conclusion to the readers. First is the original simulated endings for each lady, which drifted off course due to various modifications. The first wife, Madam Huang, was the protagonist's sweetheart in the early stages. The second wife, Wu Zetian, Wu Zhao, set in the context of the Xiongnu, incorporating the shamanistic system and the concept of Qingfeng Mingyue. She becomes a prince sent for a political marriage, playing into a recent popular joke. Tang Mei, leader of the Blood Garment House, has her heart broken by the protagonist, marking the first botched plot. Another instance involves dual love interests. The third wife, Bai Suzhen. The fourth wife, Daji. The fifth wife, the Iron Fan Princess; the protagonist is a master of the alchemical arts, embodying the demeanor of a strategic deception bureau, speaking entirely in its style, concealing his strength and leaving others to underestimate him. He is also a heavily paternal figure, exploring forbidden life-draining abilities such as "Father's Heart Technique" to understand the inner thoughts of disciples or children. Inspired by the Shu Mountain Swordsman universe, consult more literature in this area. Cultivators are forbidden from entering these dynasties as they are impure worlds with scarce spiritual energy. The Iron Fan Princess occupies Cuiyun Mountain, renaming her cave Banana Cave. The theme of the story is inherently tragic; the search for joy amidst sorrow is essential. For instance, witnessing loved ones perish in battle, age to death, or fail to survive tribulations; all classic tragic scenarios are scripted. The sixth wife, the Weaver Girl. The seventh wife, Chang’e, embodies a frosty demeanor. She emulates an old villager practicing the path of a fairy, chopping the moon tree, using a talent card to gain a golden ability, and experiences virtual reality simulation opportunities. The eighth wife, the Three Holy Mother. The ninth wife, Luo Shen. The tenth wife, Guanyin, incorporates Miaoshan into the narrative, sharing a past life affection. The ninety-ninth wife, Nuwa, transforms into the third person born from the third eye of Zhulong, becoming a rival to Fuxi. This introduces the hidden thread of incomplete creation myths passed down through generations. The giant on the world map holding up the sky is Su Mo's legacy. The giant stands in the southeast, supporting the heavens, causing the sky to tilt westward, lifting the southeast, and breaking the land vein in the southeast. This affects the celestial movements and the flow of rivers and lakes. The main character constructs the Guanghan Palace as a residence for Nuwa. In the general's residence, various minor events unfold. For example, receiving monthly salary silver. The prefect visits Jinshan Temple for incense with his wife. The final words to Bai Suzhen: "If... if there is a next life..." Following Bai Suzhen's subplot, a permanent talent imprint is obtained. In the later stages, Madam Huang supports Su Mo in opening a tavern. Bai Suzhen calculates Su Mo’s reincarnation and visits the tavern disguised as a cook alongside Xiao Qing, using magic to lower her appearance and aura. During simulations, preset stances are established. Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Evil. Upon seeking Bai Suzhen, it’s discovered that Xu Xian is sleeping with a wooden puppet, signifying Bai Suzhen’s body is overwhelmingly powerful, with no solutions. Zhu Erdan visits the Hall of the Ten Yama Kings at night. He is enlightened by the simulation protagonist, who also gambles with the judge Lu Pan. The Hua Guzi subplot is added, presetting a stance—Lawful Good—to enhance game enjoyment. Upon awakening, Su Daji immediately divines Su Mo’s whereabouts. Emerging from the Su Daji simulation reveals... Becoming a king after being a slave greatly enhances one's valuation. Gaining a "Strong as an Ox" trait. Receiving a chance to designate a fate role, unrestricted by status or marital ties. This allows selecting anyone for a simulated lifetime. At this point, you realize the game’s rewards are not unattainable; high ratings unlock them. Thus, strategy shifts towards maximizing final evaluations in worldly adventures. Second Miss Guo Lin finds Madam Huang’s kindness towards Su Mo unsettling. She targets Su Mo, giving him a painful jab. Despite minimal impact due to martial arts training, Su Mo remains uncomfortable for half a day. Out of indignation, Su Mo uses the opportunity against Guo Lin. Starting with his own identity and an evil-opening, mimicking the opening with Madam Huang. Simulated a tragic and profound love affair. Begins with the "God of Cookery" trait, culminating with the same trait after settlement. In an outing, captured by mountain bandits, Guo Lin follows you out of the camp, enduring hardships, mimicking the first virtual dream sequence. An icebound world. Simultaneously, Su Mo learns of demons near Lijiang City from the simulation. Di Xin made a deal with Zhulong, falling into a coma, as the aristocracy became obsessed with blood sacrifices. Killing humans or demons as offerings to Zhulong would restore youth and prolong life. Hiding within the priest’s pit, Su Mo waited three days for the sacrifices to conclude before sneaking out. Returning home at night, he briefly meets his father, then leaves Chaoge City promptly. After leaving the city, he saves a drowning girl, who is Daji; they part shortly after meeting. Embarking on a wandering life, he joins a Qiang tribe, years later hearing of King Di Xin’s coma, marrying Lady Su Daji instead, to no effect. Years pass as rumors flourish over Daji’s shrewd manipulation of the court, inventing cruel punishments like the cannon and thorn basin to eliminate adversaries, covertly aided by Zhulong. At nineteen, Su Mo and his Qiang tribe are captured and brought to Chaoge, his strength rendering him a special slave and sacrificial offering to the royal family. Reuniting with Su Daji, who recognizes him. Su Mo also realizes the Shang divination has shifted to blood offerings to the ghost-god Zhulong. The bronze collar is a special creation by Daji; their lives are entwined—one prospers, both prosper, one falters, both falter. “As a king, you must wield your power.” Daji’s motivation was vengeance; Tu Mountain's destruction was Shang’s doing. Zhulong committed many atrocities seeking revival. Encountering a group of martial artists while running his tavern, Su Mo's extraordinary demeanor draws their probing. These martial artists seek treasure atop Black Wind Mountain. Encountering Black Wind King, the toughest early-stage hurdle. A female knight appears—a romance contender from simulation—poisoned to death later; Luo Bing template as the overt force. Guo Lin serves as the accountant, insisting her mother assist her at Su Mo’s tavern. To vent Su Mo’s frustration, she finds a reason to dismiss Master Liu. Nevertheless, she remains uneasy about kicking Su Mo yesterday, fearing his resentment. The protagonist finds her a nuisance unbeknownst to her. Plot unfolds via these martial artists. They plan to challenge Black Wind Fortress on Black Wind Mountain. The protagonist intends to dissuade them. Later, a cross-dressing nobleman hosts a poetry gathering, earning Su Mo a tidy sum. Within this tavern, Su Mo learns various martial world rumors. Guo Lin later has a chance to leave but opts to stay with the protagonist. The protagonist did not receive high evaluations overall, but he unexpectedly discovered that any simulation involving a specific romance character, regardless of the evaluation, would always yield a talent reward. Guo Lin fell ill, and the protagonist began to take care of her. In simulations, he gained experience in running a business. In one scenario, he opened a shop by the roadside, only to meet a bleak end at the hands of passing bandits. (After reflecting, the initial ending with Guo Lin felt too mundane, so it was revised to involve the Tree Elder, leading to a death by heavenly tribulation.) Dou Qianli sought the Dragon Suppression Nail to curb his own heavenly tribulation, hoping to transform from his half-human, half-rat form. The protagonist, akin to Zhang Xiangqian on Shell Planet, had no choice in the matter. Ultimately, the thousand-year tree spirit failed to transcend the tribulation and attempted to drag the entire Qinglin County into sharing the burden, leading the protagonist and Guo Lin to embrace each other in death. This resulted in acquiring a "Deity of Cooking" talent and a Root Seal Jade Token. It was scripted that Bai Suzhen foresaw the protagonist in Linjiang City and came alone. Jade Luo Niang, too, made her way past the Ghost Gate to reach this place. A family of swordsmen, featuring the number one killer from the Blood Garment House, who grew up alongside the Blood Garment House's leader, Fei Lingxue. This was a purely random identity card selection. Whether to address the Blood Garment House plot or the Black Bear Spirit plot first depended on the storyline's progress. It was decided to focus on Black Bear Spirit. During settlement, hints and changes in the shaman’s path and the khan’s attitude were clarified. Additional scenes occurring in the original plot were detailed. A storyline involving the pursuit of an immortal consort, identified as Luo Shen. The night before the opening, Xu Miaoyin arrived at Su Mo's inn during heavy rain. Detailed descriptions ensued, including drenched clothes, drying by the fire, washing clothes, and heating bathwater. The Black Bear Spirit arrived to root out loose ends but was repelled by the god statue in Linjiang City's Daoist temple. Subsequently, Fa Hai appeared, inadvertently attracting Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, leading to Bai Suzhen encountering Su Mo. (This Black Bear Spirit subplot was added to introduce the Earth Immortal Realm smoothly.) (Without granting the Black Bear Spirit an identity, the Earth Immortal Realm introduction lacked fluidity.) Fei Lingxue's character was reimagined as a female-oriented version of Dongfang Bubai, concealing her identity to be with the protagonist. Training in unique mystical arts temporarily transformed her into a woman, achieving harmony of yin-yang at the peak allowed a return to male form. Exploration commenced to uncover who annihilated their family. From Han Guo Wenlong, it was discovered that General Guo had already perished in battle, with the current General Guo being a disguised Jurchen, who escaped and sought to prevent the Jurchens from seizing the “Bi Xue Dan Xin” manual. Following this, Su Mo had Bai Suzhen convey the intelligence to the court. Huang Qingwan became a widow. Fei Lingxue fabricated a faction to mislead him, only for the truth to emerge at the story’s climax—it was her Blood Garment House. Enraged, he engaged with her violently, leading to Fei Lingxue's shift in preference solely to men. In the dungeon, Fei Lingxue begged for respite, bedridden for a month. Outsiders misunderstood her cries as the protagonist's pleas. Post-escape, Fei Lingxue searched for the protagonist, seeking the thrill of subjugation she never experienced before. Arriving in Linjiang City, she found the general's mansion annihilated. Subsequently meeting Captain Kong Bing, the protagonist pursued and married her—only for Fei Lingxue to disrupt the wedding night and capture her. Back in the present, Su Mo began to worry about the general's mansion's fate, while Madam Huang orchestrated a private encounter with him. ... ... These were parts of the original story arcs that couldn’t unfold as planned for various reasons. Additionally, a synopsis of the book’s ending is shared in advance, in case revisions aren't completed, leaving the conclusion unknown. Originally, the protagonist's identity was the third eye of Zhulong; his soul reincarnated on Earth and traversed to a world created by Zhu Jiuyin via the Reincarnation Disk. Moreover, the "Romance of Destiny" was a temporary system Su Mo devised before losing his memory. Through bonds with female leads, he gradually awakened his past life's power. Due to Fuxi's interference, Su Mo's past self, the "Eye of Darkness," lost self-will, retaining only the soul. Thus, Su Mo became a new force of darkness. Upon simulation’s end, Su Mo first encountered Daji, subsequently Chang'e through her. In the final conclusion, Su Mo used telepathy to summon all women related to him. The conclusion was perfectly fulfilled. However, regretfully, if revisions fail, he will proceed to write a new book. The new book cannot be harem-themed, as I wish not to see months of effort wasted. For those interested in the author's new work, search the pen name "Ren Dong Ge." The new title is: "After Ascendance, My Cultivation Journal Was Exposed." Readers who reached this point may like harem genres, but it's unlikely the author will write such stories again, limiting female leads to two. Farewell until next time. (End of chapter)
