Hengsheng still sat on his cultivation mat, stabilizing his new cultivation realm.
When the day passed, he received a notification from the system.
Ding!
[You have acquired: 358,000 System Points]
These System Points had been generated daily from the record that his system had harvested.
Hengsheng gazed at his System Points in the system panel.
System Points: 5,118,000 SP
"Great! Finally, I can upgrade another system to Tier 5," Hengsheng said to himself.
Hengsheng now had only two systems that he had not yet upgraded to Tier 5: the Primordial Tower System and the Life Sulator System.
The Primordial Tower System is not of much use to Hengsheng at the moment because it is not yet complete, lacking a core ability or any regularly usable function.
The only function that can be used in the cultivation world is the Trial Tower.
The Trial Tower is a replica of the Primordial Tower, which functions as the testing hub, testing the challenger's various aspects as a cultivator of their cultivation realm.
It currently has four towers, each representing a major realm.
For example, the 1st Trial Tower only accepts challengers who are in the Mortal Realm or Body Awakening Realm, the 2nd Trial Tower only accepts challengers who are in the Qi Gathering Realm, and so on.
Their gimmick is that if cultivators climb them, they will be rewarded in many forms—whether through personal improvement, enlightenment, or other benefits, depending on the challenger's action during climbing the tower.
Each floor cultivator will face various scenarios and must solve them in one way or another to overcome the trials and climb to the next floor.
The higher the floor, the more difficult the scenarios will become.
Also, if they die during the climb, they die—no resurrection.
If a cultivator fails to overcome the trial or gives up, the trial will end, and they will receive the title as a reward according to the tower floor they have climbed.
The more floors one climbs, the better the title will be—like his title, which is the Conqueror title, the highest-rank title that could increase the possessor's Spiritual Power by 10.
This amount of Spiritual Power is equal to when he awakened his Dao Heart, which is huge enough to make a difference in strength between people who have it and those who do not.
'The title should be enough to lure any Heaven Chosen to challenge the tower.' This is Hengsheng's thought back when he created the title as a reward for challenging the tower.
Lastly, the challenger only has the chance to climb each tower once.
Overall, in his opinion, this Trial Tower is good.
But it is still far from the goal that he expected it to become.
His goal is to construct a Trial Tower that the Heavenly Dao will accept as one of its cosmic structures that will be used to train all cultivators across the entire Heavenly Dao World, like the Sword Path of the sword cultivator league.
If he succeeds in this plan, he will become a very successful entrepreneur, and the amount of Records and System Points he will receive daily from the shares will be astronomical.
However, the standard of the Heavenly Dao is high.
He has already attempted to present the Trial Tower to Heaven four times—once for each tower—but none of them were accepted.
This is because the Trial Tower is not good enough in Heavenly Dao's eyes.
Even though he was rejected, he is not giving up on this cake.
He will continue working on the Trial Tower project, improving it for who knows how long, until Heaven sees it as worthy of investment.
All this, he concluded, upgrading the Primordial Tower System is considered a lower priority than the Life Simulator System; she can wait until he gathers another 5 million System Points to upgrade her later.
"Master! I sense mean thoughts from you. What are you thinking?" Prim's high-pitched voice rang from her Prime System Node on his Spiritual Symbol.
Hengsheng froze for a moment before he made an excuse.
"N-Nothing, I'm just fighting against a Heart Demon!" Hengsheng said the first thing that came to his mind.
"Really?" Prim replied in a suspicious tone.
"Yes, really!" Hengsheng insisted.
"Then why do I feel like I'm not your priority?" Prim's words, like an arrow, flew right into Hengsheng's heart.
"That can be explained! A Heart Demon releases all kinds of negative thoughts into my mind, It's not wrong if you feel some bad thoughts from me!" Hengsheng spilled out nonsense.
"Is that so?" Prim still could not fully believe that her sense was wrong, but she decided to trust her master!
"I believe you, Master! A-And Master, quickly upgrade my Prime Node! I want to create a new Trial Tower!" Prim said.
"Of course! I will upgrade your Prime Node immediately when I have enough points!" Hengsheng lied.
"Master is the best!" Prim giggled before she returned her attention to the Tower World.
Hengsheng wiped away the sweat on his forehead. he thought about Prim's innate trait.
One of the things that made Prim more special than other System Race members was her extremely sensitive sense of the Record. It allowed her to sense almost everything within her domain, including people's thoughts and will—she literally had cosmic awareness by default.
Hengsheng returned his attention to the system upgrade matter, he had already decided to upgrade the Life Simulator System.
When the Life Simulator System is upgraded to Tier 5, the simulator's simulation fidelity will become Tier 5, which allows the simulator to perfectly replicate reality up to the Tier 5 level without falsity or error.
Hengsheng brought out a 30 cm-sized mirror shard from the system storage.
Hengsheng obtained this mirror shard from the Golden Pagoda; he found it when he demolished the remaining structure.
The mirror shard radiated with a mysterious aura. If one looked at it, they would see their shadow acting differently from what they actually did.
This was a divine treasure containing a trace of Causality Dao, and he needed to use it as material for the upgrade along with his 5 million system points.
Without wasting more time, he immediately clicked the upgrade button.
The Life Simulator System's node on Hengsheng's spiritual symbol was glowing with intense white light, while the mirror in Hengsheng's hand, enveloped by Origin Energy, turned into essence flowing into the system node.
The essence of the Causality Dao divine treasure merges into the system node, elevating the system node to the next level!
Hengsheng absorbed a large amount of spiritual qi from the surroundings and moved it into the system node, supporting the upgrade process.
Not long after that, the flickering white light that enveloped the system node began to stabilize, at the same time radiating a powerful and mysterious aura from it, before the light slowly faded away.
Ding!

When Hengsheng saw the result of the upgrade, he smirked as he usually did.
"With this function, I will no longer die immediately after being born," Hengsheng said to himself while thinking about the two rounds of Life simulation that had been wasted with painful feelings.
After successfully completing the first life simulation, having Samuel Barlow as a simulated person, Hengsheng excitedly waited for the Life Simulation's cooldown to end.
When the one-year cooldown ended, he immediately activated Life Simulation, not intending to wait even a second.
With more knowledge about the world, especially about the existence of the Immortal World, he set his second simulation to be the son of the most powerful cultivator in the Immortal Realm.
He intended to harvest powerful techniques or supreme treasures from this setting.
However, when he was born, his father, who is the most powerful cultivator under the heavens, immediately noticed that the world was wrong, and he was in someone else's simulation.
Knowing someone had replicated his existence, he instantly shattered the entire simulation reality, ending the simulation immediately after it began.
