Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 1 Accepting Ji Ning as a disciple and the first simulation

In the Daxia world, the county seat of Anchan County.

Inside the main hall of the Black and White Academy.

"Ji Ning, would you like to be my disciple?"

"Disciple Ji Ning, I pay my respects to the Master."

At this moment, Ji Ning looked at the figure in front of him wearing a dark Taoist robe, and he performed the disciple's kneeling ceremony without hesitation.

He now has intelligence information and has some understanding of the immortals in the Black and White Academy.

The "Qianyu Immortal" in front of him is definitely the most mysterious and incredible existence in the Black and White Academy.

Qianyu Immortal, a wandering immortal who has lived for more than three million years.

For cultivators of immortality, disasters occur every three hundred years and calamities every nine hundred years. Disasters are easy to avoid, but calamities are hard to escape.

If one fails to become a celestial being, the endless stream of three disasters and nine calamities will continue to come to him. One can imagine how powerful an immortal who has actually lived for three million years must be.

Today is the day Ji Ning joins the Black and White Academy. According to the rules, a Taoist priest or a terrestrial immortal will accept him as a disciple.

Ji Ning had never expected that the person who would show up to accept him as a disciple would be "Immortal Qianyu".

At this time, the other Yuanshen Taoists, immortals, and earthly immortals in the Black and White Academy were also surprised and couldn't believe it. They also didn't expect that the "master" who had not appeared for a long time would suddenly appear and accept a small purple mansion cultivator.

You have to know that the other party has been in the Black and White Academy for more than three million years. In the past, he rarely showed up, let alone accepted disciples. Most of them only knew that there was such a master in the Black and White Academy.

"Get up."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and used his magic power to help Ji Ning up. He looked at the young boy and felt sad.

After waiting for more than three million years, he finally got what he wanted.

It has been 3.19 million years since he traveled to this world. In the first 30,000 years, he embarked on the path of cultivation and showed extraordinary aptitude. However, when he finally tried to pass the tribulation, he failed like most of the immortals who returned to the void and became a wandering immortal.

Zhou Yu was naturally unwilling to die in endless disasters, so reincarnation became his only option.

However, if one wants to reincarnate without a good background, it is a life-or-death situation. Moreover, even if one is reincarnated successfully, it is not certain that one can truly overcome the tribulation and become an immortal.

The more powerful the reincarnation of a wandering immortal is, the stronger the calamity of the immortal he will face will be. This cause and effect cannot be escaped.

So Zhou Yu decided to find a backer for himself.

He cannot rely on ordinary gods and immortals.

As a time traveler, Zhou Yu naturally set his sights on the potential stock Ji Ning. Not long after he failed to survive the tribulation, his second soul came to Anchan County, trying to find a way to join the Black and White Academy and wait.

To be honest, Zhou Yu was just gambling, because he had no idea when Ji Ning would show up. In the vast world of Da Xia, there was no reference for him to confirm the time.

But it turned out that he won the bet.

Zhou Yu lived for three million years and waited for Ji Ning, a potential stock.

"It's fate. If I don't make any major breakthrough after waiting for another one or two million years, I will have to reincarnate." Zhou Yu thought to himself.

"Ji Ning, come with me."

Zhou Yu said this, and then he took Ji Ning away on a cloud.

Soon, the news that Immortal Qianyu was accepting a disciple spread throughout Anchan County like a hurricane.

Not to mention the earthly immortals and scattered immortals, even the mountain-carrying celestial immortals of the Anchan Beishan clan were extremely concerned about Zhou Yu.

There is a huge difference in the strength of the immortals. For immortals under a million years old, there is a big difference in strength every hundred thousand years. Immortals who are a million years old are even said to be comparable to celestial immortals.

But Tuoshan Tianxian didn't care about ordinary million-year-old immortals. After all, ordinary million-year-old immortals could only reach the threshold of Tianxian at most. But Zhou Yu was different. Living long meant that he was strong enough.

Zhou Yu's strength may even surpass that of ordinary immortals, which makes Tuoshan immortal take him seriously.

After all, such a powerful immortal is in Anchan County, and Anchan County is the territory of his Beishan clan.

"Could it be that this Immortal Qianyu feels that he can't hold on any longer and is planning to look for a successor?" Tuoshan Tianxian guessed in his heart.

It's not surprising. It's already incredible for a wandering immortal to live for three million years. If he were allowed to hold on, how long could he last?
"Well, this one is called Ji Ning." Tuoshan Tianxian asked someone to investigate, and he soon smiled with satisfaction.

Not only did Ji Ning have no grudge against the Beishan clan, but he had a very good relationship with Beishan Baiwei, a disciple of the Beishan clan.

"In that case, there's no need to worry about it." Tuoshan Tianxian didn't think any more about it.

. . .

three days later.

Inside the Black and White Academy, there is a mountain that is listed as an absolutely forbidden area.

From the outside, the mountain looks only about a hundred feet high, but the space inside is surprisingly large, with a radius of ten thousand miles.

This is the "Nine Absolutes Heaven and Earth Formation" set up by Zhou Yu, a formation that contains the essence of his millions of years of practice.

He practiced cultivation since he was young, and embarked on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth at the age of thirty. For more than ten thousand years thereafter, he dominated the world with the help of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

After failing to overcome the tribulation, Zhou Yu gradually found another path after a long period of practice - the path of formations.

Although the art of formations is vast and complicated, Zhou Yu's talent in it is surprisingly high. As he comprehended it, his understanding of the art of formations quickly caught up with the Great Dao of Qiankun, and he combined the two great Daos.

Because of this, he is still alive today.

In terms of his attainments in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Great Dao of Formation, Zhou Yu is only slightly stronger than an ordinary million-year-old immortal.

But the combination of the two paths allowed him to reach a higher level.

...

"Ji Ning is already on the right track. The next step is to let him grow up slowly." Zhou Yu was sitting alone in a pavilion thinking.

He also didn't dare to force things, for fear of destroying Ji Ning's potential.

Zhou Yu actually understood that he was overthinking it. Since Ji Ning had such potential, a slight change in his growth trajectory wouldn't affect the overall situation. But since this matter concerned the future, he didn't dare to be careless.

To put it in a broader sense, if Ji Ning had not grown up, not only would he not be able to reincarnate and overcome the tribulation again, but the entire Three Realms would probably be destroyed.

And just as Zhou Yu was thinking about it, suddenly——

[The simulation has been loaded. You will get a free simulation opportunity. Do you want to start the simulation? ]

"Ok?"

Zhou Yu was stunned, and a lot of information flooded into his mind at this moment.

"Is it a real golden finger? Not an illusion?" Zhou Yu couldn't believe it. This simulation of the heavens has been loaded for three million years?

"That's why I survived these three million years. What if I died?" Zhou Yu was speechless.

But at this time he still honestly understood the information that flooded into his mind.

Although Zhou Yu estimated that he would have an 80% chance of reincarnating and overcoming the tribulation successfully with the help of Ji Ning, it would naturally be better if he could rely on himself.

"The Simulation of the Universe allows one to simulate a virtual life in all the universes. If one ultimately achieves the goal of the simulation, the imaginary experience can be turned into reality, and the person will have a new avatar in the world where the simulation takes place."

"In addition, if the simulation is successful, you can also gain the unique talents possessed by the Sims."

Zhou Yu thought quickly in his mind. This simulation of the heavens didn't seem to bring him any direct help, but it was really amazing.

As long as the simulation is successful, you can directly obtain an avatar, which is equivalent to having an extra life in another world.

"Let's give it a try." Zhou Yu made a decision quickly.

He immediately used the free simulation opportunity.

[Extracting the simulated world.]

"I hope I can draw the world of Wilderness where I am now." Zhou Yu thought to himself.

If he draws the world of Wilderness and succeeds in simulating it, it would be equivalent to him having an extra clone.

He doesn't even need to reincarnate, he has the opportunity to overcome the tribulation again.

According to the known information, the probability of drawing a world where he already has an avatar in each simulation is still quite high, so it is not like looking for a needle in a haystack.

While Zhou Yu was waiting, the extraction finally produced results.

[Extraction successful, target world, Devouring Star World! ]

"Huh? Didn't get it?" Zhou Yu didn't think much about it. The Devouring Starry Sky World was not bad.

[Extracting initial talent——]

[The extraction was successful. Please choose from the following three talents.]

[1. Son of the Law - Affinity with the Ten Laws Reaches Top Level]

[2. Luck Increase - The chances of encountering opportunities and turning misfortune into fortune increase significantly]

[3. Potential Enhancement - Through hard work, understanding is more likely to be improved]

"Hmm? These three talents?"

Zhou Yu fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that the first one is directly excluded, because the talent he chooses will be synchronized to him after the simulation is completed, depending on the degree of completion.

The first talent is obviously only useful in the Devouring Star World. Its use is too narrow, so Zhou Yu simply doesn't consider it.

The second and third ones are both very important, and Zhou Yu wants them both.

But you can only choose one.
"Then let's go with three." Zhou Yu finally made a decision.

There is no guarantee for option two, it all depends on luck, which is a bit inconsistent with his personality.

Zhou Yu likes to be in control, just like the "Formation" he is good at. He must control every detail perfectly without any omissions. If he cannot control it perfectly, it will be a failure.

After Zhou Yu chose his talent, lines of text soon appeared.

Please select one of the following simulation targets.

[1. Reach the peak of Realm Master within 100,000 years - upon completion, you will gain a peak Realm Master clone and the talent 'Potential Enhancement' with a 50% effect.]

[Second, achieve immortality within a million years - upon completion, you will gain an immortal clone and the complete talent 'Potential Enhancement'.]

[3. Break through to the Lord of the Universe within 100 million years - upon completion, you will gain the Lord of the Universe's clone and the talent 'Potential Enhancement' with a 300% effect.]

This simulates the target

Zhou Yu was secretly shocked. They were all more abnormal than each other. Not to mention target three, whether it could be achieved or not depended on fate.

Even goal two is difficult.

Becoming immortal in the world of Devouring the Stars will not be easier than overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal. If he has the memories of the world of Wilderness in the simulation, there is hope.

But the fact is that in the simulation, there is no memory of him traveling to the world of the Wilderness Era, only the memory before the travel.

It is too difficult to achieve immortality in this situation, and any accident may lead to failure.

Not to mention, there is a time limit.

"As for the simplest goal one, it's actually not that simple." Zhou Yu frowned and thought for a while before making a choice.

"Goal Two - Become Immortal!"

"It's not bad to get the complete 'potential enhancement' talent by achieving the goal. Although the reward for goal three is good, the probability is too low no matter how you think about it." Zhou Yu shook his head in his heart.

The second option is to play it safe. In Zhou Yu's opinion, the difficulty of this option and the rewards after the simulation are completed are both more acceptable to him.

At this moment, after Zhou Yu made all his choices, an invisible force enveloped him. The time around him completely stopped, and the simulation began.
