Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 194 Yearning

Time continued to pass, and soon it was three months later, which was November of 2074 Earth time.

At this moment, the spaceship Yang Wu was on was about to arrive at the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters.

Speaking of which, because Yang Wu stayed in the Trial Tower for more than two months, the geniuses of this year's Genius Battle arrived at headquarters more than two months later than in the original story.

However, a mere two months is insignificant compared to the incredibly long lifespans of these geniuses and the immensely long years of the vast universe.

That day, Yang Wu was in his room comprehending the laws of fire.

Because Yang Wu primarily focused on comprehending the laws of space during the previous simulation, his understanding of the laws of fire is currently somewhat weaker than that of the laws of space. Moreover, relatively speaking, without the assistance of various secret techniques, the laws of fire are indeed easier to comprehend.

Suddenly, the voice of the AI ​​assistant, Chi Yan, rang in Yang Wu's mind.

"Master, the spaceship is almost at the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company."

Yang Wu opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Have we arrived already? Time really flies!"

Yang Wu then got up and went directly to the spaceship's main hall.

……

Inside the spaceship's main hall.

Yang Wu wore a dark gold inner armor formed from the metal life form of the Kashgar people, and an outer dark gold alloy battle suit that fit his body perfectly. He also wore blazing boots. Standing in the hall, he exuded an extraordinary aura.

The Kashgar metal life form that Yang Wu received had grown to the ninth level of the universe level after the initial foundation-laying and nurturing by the three giants.

However, getting 'Kash' to perfectly break through to the Domain Lord level is not something that Yang Wu's 20,000 Mixed Yuan Units can do, unless Yang Wu invests his 100,000 points.

Yang Wu, who knew the importance of points, would certainly not make such a choice. Moreover, during the thirty years of the initial universe, he had enough ninth-order auxiliary metal life forms at the cosmic level.

As for the Cloud-Piercing Vine and the Conch Flower, Yang Wu also cultivated them to the ninth level of the Universe level. However, Yang Wu will temporarily abandon the cultivation of the Cloud-Piercing Vine.

Yang Wu doesn't have the same kind of relationship as Luo Feng and his Moyun Vine in the original story. Moreover, with Yang Wu's current financial resources, he simply cannot afford the evolution of three auxiliary life forms, so he can only temporarily give up on the Moyun Vine.

The lean, elderly man beside Yang Wu, Ron, said respectfully, "Your Highness, we are about to arrive at the company's space headquarters."

"Yes." Yang Wu smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your escort over these past three years, Mr. Ron!"

"Your Highness is too kind; this is simply what I should do!"

The lean old man, Ron, looked at Yang Wu with great surprise. This prince, who had rushed into the Primordial Secret Realm, seemed to have changed a lot since he first boarded the spaceship three years ago.

What he didn't know was that after the last simulation, Yang Wu not only improved his strength a lot, but also made a significant breakthrough in his mental state.

To others, this will naturally change their perception of your presence.

"I wonder how much progress the others have made in the past three years?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

However, Yang Wu also knew in his heart that even if others made rapid progress, they could never match his progress.

After all, he has gained insights into the laws of the next two hundred years. If he still cannot surpass other geniuses, there is no need for him to continue on the path of the strong.

However, Yang Wu felt no sense of pride.

He knew his own situation best. If it weren't for the time simulator, even if he joined the Virtual Universe Company, he would probably only be a genius who could barely enter the Primordial Secret Realm.

Such individuals are countless within the Virtual Universe Company.

Moreover, Yang Wu already knew the truth about this world, more clearly than anyone else.

The so-called strongest beings in the universe are just the beginning; there are many more realms to come.

Now that we've come to this world, how can we not go and see the splendor of the Origin Continent?

……

"Initiating interstellar travel, entering the original universe."

「5……4……3……2……1！」

The entire spaceship shuddered slightly, and it took more than ten seconds to return to normal.

"Activate 100% outdoor simulation!" Yang Wu ordered immediately after the spaceship entered the original universe.

He was really looking forward to seeing what the headquarters of the Virtual Universe company would look like.

Instantly, the entire hall became transparent and disappeared, revealing a dreamlike starry sky. In the distance, there was a vast supercontinent, suspended in the starry sky!

Beside that vast landmass, the enormous stars and planets seemed insignificant, like mere specks of starlight in the universe.

The spaceship flew towards the continent at near-light speed, but after flying for quite a while, the continent still felt incredibly far away.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, this is the headquarters of our Virtual Universe Company," said the lean old man beside him with a smile.

Yang Wu gazed ahead, and even though he was prepared, he was still awestruck by the vast starry sky.

After a long while, Yang Wu exclaimed, "My Virtual Universe Company truly deserves to be one of the top forces of the human race. Only after seeing the headquarters with my own eyes today do I understand what a top force of the human race really is!"

Ron was not surprised by Yang Wu's reaction; anyone who comes to this starry sky for the first time will be shocked.

Then, Ron slowly introduced to Yang Wu: "Your Highness, the continent at the headquarters of our Virtual Universe Company is about tens of light-years in diameter, and the stars, planets, meteorites and other celestial bodies floating around the continent are actually very terrifying technological weapons."

Yang Wu nodded repeatedly. The Virtual Company was a technological holy land of the human race, so it would naturally have various weapons for defense.

However, he also knew that although these technological weapons were powerful, they were nothing more than decorations when facing a truly strong opponent.

The reason why the company headquarters has been able to stand in this starry sky for countless years is because of one of the strongest people in the human race, the fifth-order universe master, the Chaos City Lord!

In the boundless starry sky, spaceships constantly flew towards the headquarters continent, and spaceships constantly left the headquarters.

Yang Wu looked at the spaceships and, just by looking at them from a distance, knew that none of them were inferior to the F-class spaceship he was on.

The spaceship slowly approached the vast continent, and Yang Wu, while filled with awe, couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

One day, he too will stand at the highest peak, like those great beings, overlooking the endless starry sky and traversing the vast universe.

……

Yang Wu traveled at near-light speed in his spaceship for about a dozen hours before finally approaching one of the entrances to this continent.

The spaceship flew at near-light speed in the entrance passage for several more minutes before gradually slowing down and finally coming to a stop.

Whoosh!

The hatch opened.

Yang Wu, accompanied by Ron and the others, flew out of the spaceship.

At this moment, more than ten men and women in uniforms were waiting outside. Upon seeing Yang Wu appear, the man in the silver battle robe who was at the head of the group stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Highness Yang Wu, I am here waiting on the orders of His Majesty. Please follow me."

Yang Wu nodded slightly, and after saying goodbye to Ron and the others, he followed the silver-robed man and the others onto a dreamlike corridor, and finally entered an oval hall.

The oval hall was completely transparent on all sides and above. When Yang Wu walked in, he could see an endless starry sky when he looked up, which was incredibly spectacular.

"Yang Wu, you've arrived!"

"Haha, Yang Wu, you've arrived too. Where are Luo Feng and Rong Jun from your Qianwu Universe Kingdom?"

At this moment, many geniuses were already waiting in the hall. When they saw Yang Wu appear, several of them stepped forward to greet him.

"Uka, Jiangmo, Qianshui..."

Yang Wu smiled and greeted each of the geniuses who welcomed him. To be honest, this was the first time Yang Wu had met these peerless geniuses in real life.

Although Yang Wu was a member of the Primal Secret Realm, firstly, he was not as aloof and withdrawn as Bo Lan; secondly, he had an extremely close relationship with Luo Feng; and thirdly, Yang Wu was well aware that his talent was not much different from that of these people.

Therefore, during his three-year journey, Yang Wu did not isolate himself from the world while cultivating in Yuxiang Mountain. He communicated and exchanged ideas with many geniuses, especially several geniuses in the Taichu District. Because of Luo Feng, Yang Wu had a relatively close relationship with them.

Although people could sit anywhere in the hall, these thousand geniuses naturally formed small cliques, which could be seen from where they sat.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, went straight to Bo Lan and sat down next to him, since they were both members of the Primal Secret Realm.

Over the course of three years, Yang Wu and Bolan, both members of the Primal Secret Realm, naturally interacted with each other. After getting to know each other, Yang Wu discovered that Bolan, aside from being a bit arrogant, was quite good in other aspects as well.

Moreover, judging from the other party's talent in cultivating spatial laws, he certainly has reason to be proud.

When Bolan saw Yang Wu sit down, he merely nodded slightly; that was just his nature.

……

Before long, Luo Feng and Rong Jun, who were also from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom like Yang Wu, arrived one after the other.

About six hours later, all one thousand exceptional geniuses who had joined the Virtual Universe Company had gathered in the hall.

"Everyone, please follow me."

After a thousand people had gathered, a red-eyed man shrouded in an elegant white robe suddenly appeared. The aura emanating from him sent chills down everyone's spines.

Then, an incomparably powerful force instantly enveloped all the geniuses present.

Whoosh!

The tall, thin man with red eyes led everyone in a streak of light, and after flying for several minutes, they arrived in front of a very strange spaceship.

"Everyone, please get on the spaceship," the red-eyed man said coldly as he put everyone down.

Yang Wu looked at the spaceship ahead.

This spaceship is quite peculiar. Its entire hull resembles a large fish, with a deep blue color and a length of nearly a thousand meters. At the very back, it has a tail fin that sways slightly.

The hatch of this giant fish spaceship is located on the belly of the "giant fish".

"This must be the most advanced spaceship ever built!" Yang Wu exclaimed inwardly.

As the vehicle of a cosmic sovereign, this spaceship is estimated to be fused with a metallic life form at the peak of the King-level realm.

Generally speaking, Marquis-level Immortals, or even some high-ranking military lords, are capable of building F-class spaceships.

A spaceship of the King-level Immortal rank can generally fuse with Immortal-level metallic life forms. The higher the strength, the stronger the fused metallic life form becomes.

Urged on by the red-eyed man, Yang Wu and the other thousand geniuses could no longer care about their curiosity about the spaceship's peculiarities and entered through the hatch, then walked into the spaceship's main hall.
