Immortal Clan Simulator

[Includes: secret identities, a simulator (with some genius-protagonist elements), people overestimating the protagonist, family building, and a cultivation setting with lots of original worldbuilding (such as a cultivation-world forum)] [Thank you for choosing "Cultivation Simulator," the latest mobile game from Tiandao Group!] [Here, you can simulate different lives and unlock different talent stats: A life with "music, chess, calligraphy, and painting" talent: cultivate through calligraphy and painting, and depict a lifetime with a single brushstroke; A life with "comprehension" talent: watch the snow beneath a pavilion for decades, then laugh and brush the snow aside in a single moment, survive the tribulation, and ascend as an earthly immortal; A life with "charisma" talent: meet many loyal companions, travel together as youths, and perhaps grow into the righteous path's leader, beloved by all; A life with "cultivation" talent: pick chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence, till thousands of miles of fertile land, and grow countless rare plants and precious spiritual herbs...] [What will you choose?] Player Ye Zhao answered without hesitation: "As a player, of course I want it all!" "Let me simulate ten characters first. That'll be faster." System: [?] The player mused aloud, "Wait, if characters are related by blood or teacher-student ties, they can inherit each other's property? Then let's make them all members of one family!" The System fell silent: [...O-okay.] [We have received feedback from our esteemed beta tester. The game will now be renamed "Cultivation Family Simulator." Please choose a name for your family!] Ye Zhao casually rearranged the characters in his name and typed two words: [Zhaoye]. At that moment, no one knew that a mysterious, powerful family, destined to become world-famous, had just been born. Along with the legends of countless prodigies, the Zhaoye name would leave an extraordinary mark on the history of the cultivation world. When future generations describe the renowned Zhaoye family, many will choose words like these: inhuman perseverance and an enduring legacy. This is a family that seems to have been summoned by Heaven's will. Legend has it that every Zhaoye is touched by the Heavenly Dao at the moment of birth, given a unique mission that drives them to pursue an ideal for their entire life and carry their chosen path to its utmost limits. The Zhaoye can devote themselves to the same task day after day, honing a skill or ability to perfection. Their resolve and courage far exceed what ordinary people can imagine, and they have produced great figures devoted to every kind of principle. Of course, the Zhaoye are also deeply loyal. Once they make a promise to someone, even if it takes three generations of effort, their descendants will do everything in their power to fulfill their ancestors' dying wishes and keep their word... Across the three thousand great paths, throughout the realms of immortals and demons, the Zhaoye family can be found. They are an insurmountable peak in the history of the cultivation world, a sun and moon no one can rival. Just as their name means, they shine through the darkness before dawn. Of course, to Ye Zhao, "It's just a game!" Create new characters, unlock new talent points, choose a direction for their growth, repeat quests to grind stats, clear main and side quests and fight bosses, compete against other families and sects, raise the family's prestige, and occasionally meet an NPC you click with, give them gifts, chat, and build affection... The player gazed at the screen with the satisfied smile of a diligent farmer: Another hard-working, fulfilling day! The family is thriving again today! This idea originated on June 29, 2025, with a complete chat log as proof. [Please Read] 1. The protagonist's golden finger is ridiculously powerful. This is practically an invincible power fantasy, combined with a laid-back life of cultivation. 2. The protagonist isn't a chaotic player who kills and burns indiscriminately. They're more neutral and orderly, but there will also be demon and demon-clan storylines. 3. The simulated characters are [entirely controlled by the protagonist]. They won't turn into anything else and have no genuine independent consciousness. They're all the protagonist's secret identities. 4. There will be some development and farming, but they aren't the main focus. The simulator and leveling-up elements take up the most space. Also, the author is very down-to-earth and loves the satisfaction of seeing others think the family is unfathomably powerful. 5. Some surnames in the story are invented, so don't read too much into them. Theme: Choose the life you want and explore the world you've always longed to see.
