Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 213 New Simulation

As time passed, under the immense pressure from Yang Wu, Bo Lan, and Luo Feng, none of these geniuses dared to slack off.

Yang Wu and Bolan's talents are daunting, but they are confident they can catch up with Luo Feng.

But these people forget that while they are making progress, others are also making progress.

Moreover, among the geniuses who joined the Virtual Universe Company in previous genius battles, even when they left Chaos City, only a handful were able to pass through the third level of the Sky Bridge.

The astonishing progress of Yang Wu and the others was merely a fluke. They were no different from the many geniuses of previous years. Catching up with Luo Feng was simply impossible.

Of course, the appearance of Yang Wu and others also accelerated the progress of these geniuses.

Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a shuttle; time keeps flowing by.

In his twelfth year in Chaos City, Rong Jun passed through the third level of the Sky Bridge and gained the qualification to attend classes under the masters in Chaos City.

In his fourteenth year in Chaos City, Luo Feng, who had already purchased the first two volumes of "Time and Space Notes," actually broke through the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge, showing that his progress was obviously faster than in the original story.

In the 19th year since arriving in Chaos City, Qian Shui finally passed through the third level of the Bridge to Heaven under Yang Wu's frequent guidance and successfully became a disciple of the Nine Universes lineage master, "Sword King".

……

In the blink of an eye, nine years have passed since Yang Wu passed the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Chaotic energy swirls around Chaos City.

On the rooftop of one of the cultivation dwellings, Yang Wu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, slowly opened his eyes.

"Although I feel that I can comprehend the laws faster after breaking through to the cosmic level, even after nine years and comprehending the Chaos Stele again, it is still a long way from passing the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

In the past nine years, Yang Wu has made remarkable progress.

He has already comprehended the third rainstorm diagram of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele to a certain extent. Even in terms of quantity, it is probably no less than that of the guardian of the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.

If Yang Wu were to attempt to reach the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, he might even be able to kill the gatekeeper with a single move.

The difficulty of the eighth level of the Skybridge is much higher than that of the seventh level; otherwise, there would have been more than one member of the Virtual Universe Company's cosmic-level team who had passed the eighth level of the Skybridge.

Therefore, even though Yang Wu's progress is already quite remarkable, he is still a long way from passing the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"It seems I won't be able to get past the eighth level of the Sky Bridge on my own before leaving Chaos City!"

Yang Wu sighed inwardly, and then reactivated the time simulator in his mind.

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

More than twenty days ago, the number of times recorded on the time simulator in Yang Wu's mind had already been refreshed. Although Yang Wu had broken through to the cosmic level, the time accumulated during his Hengxing era was counted within that twenty-year interval.

However, Yang Wu has been focusing on comprehending the laws recently and hasn't had time to activate the simulation in time.

Of course, it was only twenty days later, which was like a drop in the ocean in the cosmic lifespan of 100,000 years.

"I hope I can survive this simulation a little longer, so I'll have a chance to get past the eighth level of the Sky Bridge!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

As for the ninth level of the Sky Bridge, Yang Wu had no hope at all.

In the original story, Luo Feng broke through to the Realm Lord level by comprehending the Sacred Stele in the Golden Horn Clan. One month of comprehending the Sacred Stele was equivalent to eight years of normal cultivation for a Realm Lord, and three thousand years of cultivation for a Domain Lord.

This only gave Luo Feng the strength to pass through the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

In other words, unless Yang Wu breaks through to the Realm Lord level in the simulator, even if he can live for the maximum of two thousand years in the simulator, it will be impossible for him to pass through the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Yang Wu banished all thoughts from his mind and then ordered, "Begin the simulation!"

As soon as Yang Wu selected to start the emulator, a line of text immediately appeared on the panel in front of him.

"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. Caution; 2. Courage; 3. Greed."

"This time I have a pretty good option. I believe my cautious nature, combined with my current status as a member of the Primal Secret Realm, should allow me to live to see two thousand years from now!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Subsequently, Yang Wu directly selected the cautious personality, and a large amount of text began to appear on the simulator.

[At 62 years old, your physical attributes have reached the first tier of the cosmic level, and your physical strength has reached 96 times your normal level. You have a profound understanding of the laws of fire and space, and have successfully unleashed the sixth level of the Overlord Spear, and successfully passed the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven. You are hailed by many great beings as a peerless genius, appearing only once every hundreds of thousands of epochs of humankind.]

[You have now been in the initial universe for nearly twenty years. Countless geniuses are diligently cultivating under the immense pressure you have brought.]

[At 72 years old, your body has evolved to the second tier of the cosmic level. This year is also your last year in the initial universe.]

Thirty years have passed, and your understanding of the third image of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, the Rainstorm Diagram, has deepened. However, when you try to conquer the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, you find that you are still far from achieving your goal.

[The progress of other geniuses in your cohort has also been astonishing. Among them, Luo Feng successfully passed the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven 25 years after entering Chaos City; Rong Jun successfully passed the fourth level in his 27th year; and Wu Ka, Jia Lexi, Long Yun, and Gu Siluo also successfully passed the third level of the Bridge to Heaven.]

[After leaving Chaos City, you were quickly transported by a King-level Immortal to a primordial secret realm not too far from the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, where you met your guards and their leader, whom you had never met in reality.]

[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, after other geniuses embarked on their trials issued by the Virtual Universe Corporation, you too began your own journey.

[Due to insufficient points, your auxiliary metal lifeform has not yet broken through to the Domain Lord level. Therefore, out of caution, you have decided to start with the difficult-level missions!]

[During the trial mission, you are also training diligently, but passing the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge remains a long way off.]

[At 122 years old, fifty years have passed since you left the initial universe, and your physical exertion has reached 97 times your normal strength.]

Over the past fifty years, you have continuously accepted nine ordinary-level missions, finally accumulating enough points to allow the support metal lifeform 'Kash' to perfectly break through to the Domain Lord level.

[After evolving your metallic life form to the ninth rank of Domain Lord, you are now able to unleash the power of a typical sixth-rank Domain Lord using 'Kash.' Combined with your comprehension of the laws from the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, you can even defeat a typical first-rank World Lord opponent.]

Because the Virtual Universe Company stipulates that you can only accept ten trial missions every hundred years, you begin to carefully select the missions you choose. On the advice of your friend Luo Feng, you accept your first dangerous-level mission.

In this dangerous mission, you enhanced your understanding of the laws of nature by fusing with a magical treasure.

[At 172 years old, nearly a century has passed since you left the initial universe, and your physical exertion has reached 98 times your normal strength.]

Over the past century, Rong Jun has passed the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven, while Bo Lan and Luo Feng have both passed the seventh level. Four other geniuses from your cohort have also passed the fifth level.

[Fifty years have passed. You have completed both missions in that dangerous-level quest, significantly increasing your comprehension of the laws and your overall strength.]

This year, the once-in-a-century cosmic-level qualification battle for Virtual Universe Company is about to begin.

[At this moment, among the five members of the Primal Secret Realm, one is a peerless genius who has passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and you and the other three have also passed the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven.]

[After the qualifying battle began, you were easily defeated by Fitu, the number one player in the Primal Realm. You then easily defeated Bolan and the illusionist Sima Yan, and with great difficulty defeated Moro, a member of the Primal Realm, and successfully remained in the Primal Realm.]

However, what you didn't expect in this qualifying battle was that your friend Luo Feng, who had just passed the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven, also successfully entered the Primal Secret Realm.

[At 186 years old, your friend Hong has encountered some trouble, and you are trying to find a way to help him resolve it. However, your friend Luo Feng decides to break through to the Domain Lord level and become the Inspector Special Envoy of the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company. This action has puzzled countless geniuses, who are all waiting for him to be kicked out of the Primal Secret Realm in the Domain Lord level qualification battle hundreds of years later.]

At 272 years old, your body has finally reached its maximum potential, a hundred times greater than it could have imagined; you have achieved perfect mastery over your body.

Over the course of a century, you have continued to complete cultivation tasks, accumulating a considerable amount of points.

Two hundred years have passed since you left Chaos City, yet you still haven't passed the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge. This has greatly disappointed the Nine Swords Venerable, who had high expectations for you. Therefore, before the new cosmic-level qualification battle begins, the Nine Swords Venerable has been guiding you for ten consecutive days in the virtual universe.

Under the guidance of the Nine Swords Venerable, who had fully comprehended the laws of space, your understanding of the third image of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, the Rainstorm Diagram, advanced by leaps and bounds. Ten days later, you successfully passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

[The once-in-a-century qualifying battle has begun. Since your friend has already broken through to the Domain Lord level, and there are only two universe-level members in the Primordial Secret Realm, you, who were defeated by Feto, need to compete with the top three from the Primordial Secret Realm for two Primordial Secret Realm spots.]

[You won all three battles, so you rightfully remain in the Primal Realm.]

[At 1072 years old, a thousand years have passed since you left Chaos City.]

[A thousand years later, of the thousand geniuses who joined the Virtual Universe Company with you, 673 have perished. Such an astonishing mortality rate is truly appalling!]

Over the course of this thousand years, the landscape among the many geniuses of the primordial realm has undergone dramatic changes.

[Four hundred years after you left Chaos City, the Primal Realm's cosmic-level membership began to be dominated by Feto, you, and Bolan. Many other geniuses were simply unable to break into the Primal Realm.]

Five hundred years after you left Chaos City, Rong Jun successfully passed the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven, displaying extraordinary combat power and becoming the number one universe-level expert in the Primordial Secret Realm. Decades later, Bo Lan passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven, still suppressing the others. Since then, all universe-level members of the Primordial Secret Realm, including you, have passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven!

[Seven hundred years after you left Chaos City, your friend Luo Feng, at the Domain Lord level, returned to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion and began his ascent of the Heavenly Bridge. This attempt astonished everyone. In just a few hundred years, Luo Feng had actually passed the 13th level of the Heavenly Bridge! Such a rate of progress even surpassed that of all the geniuses in human history!]

[After conquering the Heavenly Bridge, your friend Luo Feng successfully became a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, the head of the Virtual Universe Company. Decades later, the Domain Lord-level qualification battle begins.]

[After the Domain Lord-level qualification battle concluded, Fito, who had remained at the Cosmic level for nearly six thousand years, finally succeeded in crossing the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven and breaking through to the Domain Lord level. You, on the other hand, became the new number one Cosmic-level member of the Virtual Universe Company, firmly securing a spot among the Cosmic-level members of the Primal Secret Realm. In the next Cosmic-level qualification battle, Rong Jun also entered the Primal Secret Realm.]

[At 2062 years old, time has slipped by unnoticed, and you remain at the ninth level of the cosmic realm.]

Nearly two thousand years have passed since you left Chaos City. Of the many geniuses who joined the Virtual Universe Company at the same time as you, most have perished; only 167 remain alive.

[Over the past two thousand years, you have diligently cultivated your skills and have nearly fully comprehended the third image of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, the Rainstorm Diagram. You are now very close to passing the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven.]

Meanwhile, the progress of many geniuses of your generation was also astonishing. Uka, Qianshui, Longyun, Galesi, and Gusiluo, among others, successively passed the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven. Rong Jun, however, had already passed the eighth level when you were 1800 years old. As for Bolan, he even surpassed you, successfully passing the ninth level when you were 2000 years old, finally surpassing you!

[The veteran members of the Virtual Universe Company have successively broken through to new heights, and you, the geniuses of this generation, have become the new veterans.]

Your friend Luo Feng is still cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City, and no one knows how he is progressing. However, you always receive guidance from him during your casual conversations.

[Simulation ended...]
