Infinite simulation from lock dragon well

【Day 7, you discover a familiar aura within the village's ancestral hall, prompting you to investigate.

Deep within the hall, you find a dusty scale. Upon seeing it, you immediately recognize it as a dragon scale.

You're surprised, unsure why a dragon scale would be in this village. Upon closer inspection, you realize it has been there for a long time, its power mostly dissipated, but you remain curious about its origin.】

【Day 8, you overhear the villagers' conversations and learn the scale's history. It originates from a village legend: long ago, a villager helped a Jiao (蛟) undergo its tribulation to become a dragon. The dragon, in gratitude, left behind a scale for the villager, who then offered it to the village. Since then, the village has been free from disasters…】

This legend seems very much like a folk tale.

Ji Zheng mused.

He had heard similar legends before, known as 'Dragon Scale Protecting Village'.

It was said that in ancient times, near a coastal river, there was a village. The village relied on the river, but this river was no ordinary one; it was a 'Jiao Path'.

A Jiao Path was a route a Jiao dragon would take, and disasters often occurred along it. This village, being near the Jiao Path, naturally couldn't escape unscathed and frequently suffered from floods and the like.

Yet, the village persevered through repeated disasters, eking out a living by fishing.

One day, an old man from the village encountered a Jiao dragon undergoing its tribulation while fishing, and he coincidentally helped it succeed.

The Jiao dragon, grateful to the old man, bestowed upon him a dragon scale. After obtaining the dragon scale, the old man didn't keep it to himself and immediately told the villagers about it.

The villagers suggested hanging the dragon scale under the village bridge, hoping it would help. The old man said the dragon scale was useless to him personally, so he agreed.

After hanging the dragon scale under the village bridge, the village never suffered from disasters again.

It was said that the dragon scale hung there until modern times, protecting the village. Later, experts took it away, and the village was completely submerged in a flood.

“This legend is similar to the village in the simulation, probably something similar.”

After understanding this, Ji Zheng found it interesting.

The dragon scale in this village is still there.

That proves the village's heritage must be ancient.

Maybe there's something inside that could help him?

Filled with curiosity, Ji Zheng continued to observe the simulation.

…

【Day 9, having understood the origin of this village, you feel expectant. You stay in the abyss, and this day, you discover that all the villagers are in the back mountain, offering you sacrifices.

Wishing to build a connection with the villagers, you let out a roar, as a response to their worship.

Upon hearing your roar, the villagers become excited, chanting 'True Dragon'.

However, the village chief orders the villagers to leave, not to disturb you. In an instant, the back mountain falls silent, and you develop a favorable impression of the village.】

【Day 10, the village continues to worship you daily, but they leave quickly after the ceremony, not daring to disturb you in the back mountain.】

【Day 11, the humans continue to worship you…】

…

【Day 13, you suddenly discover that demons are attempting to invade the village. As you are about to intervene, you notice the dragon scale within the village's ancestral hall is glowing brightly, seemingly trying to stop the demons from invading.

On the dragon scale, you faintly sense an aura resonating with your dragon body. This resonance puzzles you, as it's unrelated to your Gui Water or Jia Wood.

Curiosity arises, but you know now is not the time to ponder the dragon scale. Since you've chosen to accept the village's worship, it means you're willing to protect it. You immediately rush out of the abyss, and amidst the villagers' cries of surprise, you instantly crush the invading demons.

After dealing with the demons, you take a deep look at the village chief before returning to the abyss in the back mountain.】

【Day 14, the Twelve Moons and the Second Golden Crow revive, but you remain unmoved, not caring. What concerns you is that, on this night, the village chief comes to the back mountain alone to worship you.

Seeing only the village chief arrive, you reveal yourself, emerging from the abyss. The village chief, upon seeing you, immediately kneels down, calling you True Dragon.

You extend your dragon head, looking at the village chief, and state that you want the dragon scale in the village. Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately agrees, his words filled with reverence for you.

Unexpectedly, the village chief doesn't make any requests, not even asking for protection…】

Perhaps, this is how it was originally.

This is how one should face a god.

Pious, in awe.

Where would they dare to make any requests?

It was precisely because there were too many such situations that there would be human resistance.

According to the information he obtained, humans only existed after the arrival of the gods, and humans were initially appendages of the gods, to the point where the gods didn't even look at humans directly.

Faced with powerful gods, humans would naturally develop reverence, which was inevitable.

But over time, this reverence would lead to humans losing themselves, relying solely on the gods. If there were no strong individuals among humans, it would be fine, but humans did have them.

How could the Five Emperors of humanity be willing to see this situation? Naturally, they would resist, leading to the events that followed.

“Is this the normal situation?”

“Honestly, this situation is quite comfortable, pious, without so much calculation.”

Ji Zheng understood why the gods would fight against humans.

What the gods needed was a dependent human, a pious human.

He himself was a god, and he felt this feeling even more deeply.

…

【Day 15, the villagers respectfully bring the dragon scale from the ancestral hall to the back mountain and offer you another round of worship.

After the villagers leave, you take the dragon scale into the depths of the abyss below the back mountain cliff. Looking at the dragon scale, the closer you get to it, the more you feel a surge of aura within your body. You carefully sense this aura.】

【Day 16, you are still sensing the resonance between the dragon scale and your dragon body. You faintly guess that it's related to the ashes of the Jianmu Divine Tree you swallowed…】

Related to the ashes of the Jianmu Divine Tree?

Upon seeing this, Ji Zheng immediately focused his attention…
