Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 167 Simulation, The Fallen Genius

Earth time, November 2, 2068.

At this time, the three-year-long cycle war in the Qianwu Universe had not yet ended. However, after nearly three years of the cycle war, Luo Feng and the other two had grown very quickly.

Luo Feng has successfully crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of space and reached an extremely profound level, even being able to unleash the second level of the Divine Weapon.

Under the guidance of Luo, the military lord of Sanfu Mountain, Hong successfully crossed the threshold of the Law of Light. Of course, Hong did not follow Luo to wander the universe, because he had now broken into the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and his treatment was naturally different from that in the original work.

However, out of admiration for Hong, Luo still took Hong as his disciple, though not as a direct disciple to inherit his mantle.

As for Thor's achievements, they are somewhat inferior.

Having just reached the eighth level of the Domain, he could only barely break into the top 1,000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom by relying on his decent combat instincts.

Luo Feng and the other two were making rapid progress, while Yang Wu's progress was relatively slower.

After all, Yang Wu's talent was not as good as Luo Feng's, and comprehending the laws became increasingly difficult as one progressed. Over the course of two years, his understanding of the laws had not made any remarkable progress; he had only managed to cultivate the second level of the Overlord Spear technique, "Soul-Shocking Thrust," to its third form.

To think that he could defeat Berlan in the Battle of Geniuses a year from now is nothing short of a pipe dream.

……

Earth, in a quiet room of Yang Wu's family castle.

Yang Wu sat cross-legged on the bed and quietly started the time simulator in his mind.

"Current simulation attempt: 1. Start The Sims now?"

"Hopefully this simulation will give me a pleasant surprise!" Yang Wu thought to himself, then gave the order: "Yes, sir!"

Yang Wu hopes to make significant progress in this simulation.

As soon as he finished speaking, a line of text appeared on the simulator panel in front of Yang Wu.

"The characters in The Sims are created by the simulator itself, and their memories differ from those of the host. Please operate with caution."

"Please select the personality of the simulated character."

"1. Selfishness; 2. Courage; 3. Greed."

"I choose 'bravery'!" Yang Wu immediately made his choice.

After Yang Wu selected his personality, a large amount of text began to appear on the simulator.

[At 36 years old, your physical attributes have reached the ninth level of the Hengxing level, and you could break through to the cosmic level at any time. However, in order to prepare for the upcoming Cosmic Peak Genius Battle, you have not chosen to break through.]

[Your physical strength has reached 71 times your normal level, and you have reached the ninth level of the Domain. You have also gained a good understanding of the fundamental laws of fire and space. Among the countless geniuses in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, you are undoubtedly the number one.]

In December, the triennial Qianwu Auction opened again, and you purchased many precious treasures at the auction.

[At 38 years old, the grand finale of the Cosmic Genius Battle has finally begun. You and other geniuses, led by a great and immortal being, have been teleported to a vast continent in a virtual universe.]

[After two years of dedicated training, your physical strength has reached 72 times your normal level, and your understanding of the laws of fire and space has deepened significantly.]

[Under the watchful eyes of millions, over a million geniuses from various cosmic nations entered the Trial Tower arranged by the Virtual Universe Company. Six months later, you reached the second level of the sixth Trial Tower. After slaying over three thousand nine-headed serpents, you were kicked out of the trial space, temporarily ranking first among countless geniuses!]

[At 39 years old, after nearly a year of trials, all the geniuses were expelled from the trial space. In the end, a peerless genius named Bolan's trial tower points far surpassed yours, and you ultimately ranked second in the trial tower, successfully securing one of the top 1000 spots in the overall rankings.]

[Your friends Hong and Thor did not break into the top 7300 in the entire universe. However, because Hong entered the fundamental law of light, he joined the forbidden area of ​​the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the Qianwu Secret Realm. Thor also joined the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.]

[Your friend Luo Feng's Trial Tower score is second only to yours and that peerless genius Bo Lan, directly propelling him to third place in the overall universe rankings. At this moment, you know that the gap between the two of you is narrowing.]

[In the ensuing battle of geniuses, you won all three matches, successfully becoming one of the five vying for a spot in the Primal Secret Realm.]

After five battles, you were only defeated by the unparalleled genius, Bolan. Finally, with an extra spot in the Primal Realm provided by the Virtual Universe Company, you successfully entered the Primal Realm.

In September, you boarded an F-class spaceship on Rhine Star bound for the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Corporation. There were dedicated escorts on board, and they were quite friendly towards you.

After becoming a member of the Primal Realm, the Virtual Universe Corporation assigned you a guard team, whose leader turned out to be a great immortal being. You were quite surprised by this, and thus decided to cultivate even more diligently.

[At 42, you have broken through to the first level of the cosmic level, your physical strength has reached 74 times your normal level, and you have gained a deeper understanding of the laws of fire and space.]

You successfully arrived at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, where you joined nearly a thousand other geniuses. Many of these geniuses didn't seem to fully appreciate your joining the Primal Realm.

[You and other geniuses, guided by a great being, successfully arrived at the human race's sacred land, in the primordial universe. Here, you found the most suitable Chaos Stele for yourself and began your comprehension and cultivation.]

To continue comprehending the Chaos Stele, you must cross the Bridge to Heaven. After Bolan crossed the second level of the Bridge to Heaven, you, your old rival Rong Jun, and your friend Luo Feng simultaneously crossed the first level.

[You are still far from having the strength to pass the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, so you chose a place quite suitable for your cultivation and began to cultivate in peace. With the teacher assigned to you by the Virtual Universe Company, your progress is rapid, but your teacher is not satisfied. In his eyes, your talent is far inferior to that peerless genius, and even not as good as some geniuses in the Primordial Zone.]

At 46, your power has reached 75 times your normal level, and your understanding of the laws has also made astonishing progress.

Your old rival Rong Jun actually passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, so you also tried to pass it, but unfortunately you failed! However, your mindset remains calm, and you continue to cultivate diligently.

[At 52 years old, your physical strength has reached 77 times your normal level, and your understanding of the laws has also improved remarkably. You have now been in the initial universe for ten years.]

[In the past ten years, among the many geniuses, besides that peerless genius and Rong Jun, six more people have passed through the second level of the Bridge to Heaven. Although you also passed through the second level, you were slower than the others. Many geniuses feel that you have wasted your spot in the Primal Secret Realm.]

[Your friend Luo Feng suddenly made it through the second and third levels of the Sky Bridge in a single day, a feat that greatly surprised you. So you tried to conquer the third level, but unfortunately, you failed, falling far short.]

You have decided to go outside Chaos City to hunt Chaos Beasts in order to improve your understanding of the laws.

[At 53 years old, through continuous hunting of Chaos Beasts and absorbing Chaos True Spirits, your understanding of the origin of the laws has become clearer.]

At 72 years old, your physical strength has reached eighty times your normal level, and your body has also evolved to the second tier of the cosmic level.

This year was also your last year in the initial universe. Before leaving, you attempted to cross the Heavenly Bridge, and finally, with great difficulty, you made it through. Meanwhile, your friend Luo Feng had already crossed the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

[At 74 years old, with the help of the nutrient tank provided by the Virtual Universe Company, your body has evolved to the ninth level of the Universe level. You are now capable of breaking through to the Domain Lord level, but you chose not to do so in order to accept the mission assigned by the Virtual Universe Company.]

At 75 years old, after other geniuses went off to complete their missions, you chose a difficult one, and tragically perished during the mission!

……

"this……"

Looking at his experience in the simulator, Yang Wu felt quite helpless.

"Sure enough, after successfully joining the Primal Secret Realm, my talent is no longer enough to match my status!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"When I was weak, my progress was astonishing. Even without the help of simulators, I could constantly surpass the geniuses in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. But looking at my two most recent simulation experiences, my talent, placed among all the geniuses of this generation, is probably at the bottom of the Primordial Secret Realm and among the top of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm."

"Even if I spent thirty years in the initial universe, I would only have just passed the third level of the Bridge to Heaven. And my initial foundation was actually higher than theirs. If my initial foundation had been the same as theirs, I probably wouldn't have been able to pass the third level of the Bridge to Heaven even after thirty years!"

"Over time, they began to be surpassed by the geniuses of the Primordial and Primordial Mystic Realms!"

"However, thankfully I have the Time Simulator, which allows me to cultivate for a longer period than others, so I'm eventually able to keep up with or even surpass them!"

[The simulation has ended. You can choose one of the following rewards.]

[First, his martial arts cultivation at age 75.]

[Part Two: Martial Arts Insights at Age 75.]

[Part Three: Simulated Life Experiences.]

Soon, the reward option appeared on the simulator.

"I choose reward two!"

Yang Wu chose reward two without any hesitation.

For a long time to come, Yang Wu will probably choose the second reward option.

The moment Yang Wu made his choice, countless insights began to surface in his mind again—some about power generation techniques, some about combat skills, but most of all, they were insights into the laws of nature.

Countless insights kept surfacing in Yang Wu's mind, then merging with his previous insights, until Yang Wu finally mastered them all.

After digesting and absorbing all his insights, Yang Wu arrived at the killing field in the virtual universe to test his strength.

With his understanding of the laws of fire and space, Yang Wu was able to barely unleash the third level of the Overlord Spear technique at the Hengxing stage, and the "Nine Stars in a Row" technique was about to be used.

This is the first area-of-effect attack move in the Overlord Spear Ninefold Technique. If combined with Yang Wu's own powerful domain, its power is terrifyingly immense.

It is probably already able to easily suppress geniuses who have crossed the threshold of the laws.

Thank you to reader Nalan Sha for the 5000 points reward.
