Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 255 Seeking Refuge, First Arrival

Dark universe.

A triangular spaceship, over 300 meters long and wide and over 200 meters high, was flying at extremely high speed. The spaceship's speed continued to increase until it finally stopped at 50 times the speed of light.

This triangular spaceship is made entirely of F-class metallic red copper mother material. It is a spaceship specially arranged by Virtual Universe Company for its personnel to use when going on missions. Back when Yang Wu went to the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company, he took this F-class spaceship.

The lean old man, Ron, can only be used during the time period when he accepts a mission.

Otherwise, given the value of this F-class spaceship, it wouldn't be something an Immortal Military Lord like Ron, without any background, could possess.

"Your Highness, the spaceship has reached 50 times the speed of light. It will take nearly two years to travel through the dark universe to reach the Glory Secret Realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance!" said the lean old man, Ron, with a smile.

"Mm." Yang Wu, already seated on the comfortable sofa, nodded slightly, then said with a smile, "I'll be troubling you with this trip, Mr. Ron!"

While thanking the old man Ron for escorting him, Yang Wu also marveled at the wealth and power of the Virtual Universe Company.

"A standard spaceship capable of reaching 50 times the speed of light in the dark universe is probably only something that giants like the five major human powers can equip in large quantities."

Since Yang Wu joined Virtual Universe Company, he has always traveled in an F-class spaceship on every mission.

Of course, this is also because Yang Wu is still in the company's training phase. Once he reaches the Domain Lord level and is sent to a region within the universe to wield great power, he will not receive the same treatment as he does now.

The E-class spaceship that Yang Wu bought before could only barely reach a dozen times the speed of light!

Even the "Meteorite Star," built by Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star, at the cost of endless resources, is no match for the standard spaceship that Yang Wu is currently riding in.

"Maybe I should get a better spaceship!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

At the same time, Yang Wu also remembered his original idea of ​​giving his senior brother, Latte, an F-class spaceship as a gift.

Ironically, the reason I had this idea was because Latte was envious of the F-class spaceship that Yang Wu was currently riding in.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!" Ron quickly said with a smile, "It's my honor to serve Your Highness!"

Ron had paid a considerable price to secure the mission of transporting Yang Wu, and he had already intended to get closer to Yang Wu. However, when he saw the flame mark between Yang Wu's eyebrows, he realized that he had underestimated the prince's strength.

He had also gone through such a stage, so he knew exactly what it meant to gain the recognition of the fundamental laws at the cosmic level!

"Your Highness has caused quite a stir at my Virtual Universe Company over the years!"

Looking at the flame mark between Yang Wu's eyebrows, the lean old man Ron sighed, "Back then, I was also a core member of the Virtual Universe Company's Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, but now, tens of millions of years have passed, and I have never seen a genius who can compare with His Highness."

"Ever since we parted ways, Your Highness, I have been looking forward to seeing you again. Now my wish has finally come true!"

"Oh?" Yang Wu was slightly surprised. "I didn't expect Mr. Ron to have also spent time in the Heavenly Secret Realm?"

Although the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm cannot compare to the Primordial and Beginning Secret Realms, the geniuses within it are still among the best in the universe.

The lean old man, Ron, nodded, then sighed, "It's a pity that my talent is far inferior to that of a true peerless genius. After cultivating in seclusion for tens of millions of years, my current comprehension of the laws has only reached the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven!"

"My strength might be considered decent in an ordinary cosmic nation. But within my virtual universe company, there are countless immortal military leaders like me!"

Yang Wu remained silent for a while.

Ron's ability to join the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm means he is definitely not weak; according to the ranking of the Genius Battle, he is definitely within the top 100.

Yet even such a genius was trapped on the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven for tens of millions of years.

What about Yang Wu himself?

Yang Wu is very talented, but such talent is based on his continuous improvement through simulation experiences!

So, will Yang Wu be stuck in one place for a long time in the future?

Is he a cosmic sage? Or a peak-level king?

It should be understood that even after tens of millions of epochs, not every peerless genius who can pass through the World Lord level Tongtian Mountain can break through to the Universe Venerable level!

For a moment, Yang Wu did feel a little worried about the future.

"Your Highness!" The lean old man, Ron, looked at Yang Wu and suddenly said respectfully, "Although my strength is not remarkable within the company, my information network is quite good. If Your Highness needs anything in the future, I will certainly do my best!"

Yang Wu was stunned!

At this moment, what Ron said must have been a gesture of goodwill towards him, right?

Moreover, judging from Ron's tone, it seems more likely that he wants to defect!

But why is that?

Yang Wu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

It should be noted that even Yang Wu's guards only served under him because they were on assignment from the Virtual Universe Company.

While Ron's strength wasn't exceptionally high, that was relative. After all, he was still an immortal god!

After all, no matter how talented Yang Wu is, he is only at the cosmic level at this stage.

But now, this immortal god with the strength of a high-ranking military leader actually wants to take the initiative to get closer to Yang Wu?

In fact, even if Yang Wu's talent were astonishing tens of millions of years ago, Ron would not have bothered to approach such a small universe-level being.

Tens of millions of years is enough time for Ron's arrogance to completely disappear!

From Ron's current perspective, joining Yang Wu now is actually the wisest choice.

If Yang Wu were to perish due to an accident in the future, that would be one thing, but if Yang Wu did not perish, he might grow to the peak of the King-level in hundreds of thousands of years.

When that time comes, as one of the earliest immortals to join Yang Wu, his status in the Virtual Universe Company will be greatly enhanced. He might even be able to take this opportunity to advance further and become a Marquis-level immortal with an immortal body.

No one would refuse the offer of allegiance from an immortal deity. At least, Yang Wu wouldn't refuse right now!

Therefore, after Ron revealed his intentions, Yang Wu's relationship with him became increasingly harmonious.

Of course, Yang Wu didn't consider Ron as his subordinate at this time, but rather as an ally. After all, Ron was an immortal.

……

For the next period of time, Yang Wu stayed in the rest cabin to continue his cultivation.

He comprehended the laws while cultivating the secret techniques, and two years passed quickly.

call!

The crimson triangular spaceship traversed back into the primordial universe, then rapidly approached the distant void.

"Your Highness!"

"That enormous star ahead is the Death Star!" In the control room, the lean, elderly Ron respectfully introduced, "This is only my second time here!"

Yang Wu looked at the enormous star in the distance through the outdoor simulation.

It was a massive planet with a diameter of 30 billion kilometers, shrouded in a thin gray mist, giving it a somber and desolate appearance.

The towering and colossal Death Star floated in the void, and beside it stood an extremely magnificent temple.

Although the temple was insignificant in size compared to the Death Star, the vast aura it exuded was in no way inferior to the enormous Death Star.

"Your Highness, that is the Desolate Temple! It is said that many super beings from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance cultivate there!"

Ron kept telling Yang Wu what he knew, but as a member of the Virtual Universe Company, his understanding of the secret realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance was naturally only superficial, and not as clear as Yang Wu's.

Although top-tier geniuses from various factions can travel to the secret realms of other factions to accept cultivation missions, very few people actually do so in order to save travel time.

After all, the five major forces each have their own cultivation tasks, so there is no need to go to great lengths for something that is closer to them.

As Yang Wu and the other man were talking, the spaceship had already approached the enormous Desolate Temple.

Subsequently, Yang Wu and his companion were guided by a spaceship and flew to an extremely spacious hall.

Because Yang Wu chose a training mission that was not under the jurisdiction of the Virtual Universe Company, he still needed to report to the staff of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance before entering the Death Star.

After everything was ready, Yang Wu boarded the spaceship alone and flew towards the Death Star.

Ron, meanwhile, left the Glory Secret Realm aboard a spaceship. If possible, Ron would have preferred to wait for Yang Wu to complete his mission and then escort him back to the Primal Secret Realm, but since he had accepted a mission from the Virtual Universe Company, he couldn't stay and wait.

As for Yang Wu, if he can successfully complete the training mission on the Death Star, the staff of the Desolate Temple will naturally send him back to the Primal Secret Realm.

……

Half an hour later, Yang Wu had already arrived in the atmosphere above the Death Star aboard his spaceship.

The Death Star, as its name suggests, is largely devoid of life. In those regions, signals emitted by probes are completely disrupted, even cosmic coordinates are thrown into chaos, and danger lurks everywhere.

However, in a small area of ​​the Death Star, there is a large number of life forms, and they are very prosperous, including many immortal gods.

Therefore, the Death Star is a place where death and life coexist, making it a very strange and extremely dangerous place.

The Death Star's mission is simply survival and resource gathering, so Yang Wu's first task is to find an area with life and learn about the mission's details.

The mechanical race's spaceships circled the Death Star at an astonishing speed, finally leading Yang Wu to a vast area where life existed.

After leaving the Flame God Clan clone carrying the original core on the spaceship, Yang Wu, fully armed, quickly flew downwards.

This was Yang Wu's plan!

As long as the original core stays in a safe place, even if his main body is killed, he will only lose some energy and ordinary equipment at most. As for the more valuable auxiliary life kash and snail flower, Yang Wu left them directly on the Yan God Clan clone at the beginning.

As for the intelligent life form Chi Yan, Yang Wu left it in the spaceship. What followed Yang Wu was merely an auxiliary intelligence created by Chi Yan.

As he landed, Yang Wu was also thinking to himself, "Leaving aside the secrets contained on the Death Star for now, I need to gather some information about the Origin Crystals and Origin Gems first, and then complete the other two cultivation tasks!"

The Death Star is exceptionally large, so its gravity is also incredibly strong; even a star-level powerhouse cannot fly on this planet.

call out!call out!

Yang Wu fell from the sky like a shooting star.

Because the Death Star was shrouded in gray mist, visibility was extremely low. It wasn't until Yang Wu was less than 20,000 meters from the ground that he could see the scenery below clearly with the naked eye.

Below, in that vast region teeming with life, lie mountains and jungles, with only the outlines of cities visible in some of the flatter, more spacious areas.

Soon, a streak of light fell from the sky and transformed into a figure, Yang Wu, who was wearing dark gold armor.

At the same time, an invisible aura entered Yang Wu's sea of ​​consciousness, and he immediately felt a special aura influencing him.

Slaughter!

destroy!

A powerful, destructive urge seemed to surge within Yang Wu.

"Is this the effect of the deathly aura within the Death Star? However, it's nothing to me!" Yang Wu's will and state of mind are now extremely extraordinary, so he was naturally unaffected.

Yang Wu continuously sensed that invisible aura. Although it was also about killing, the aura here was different from that in the Blood Luo Continent.

The atmosphere in the Blood Continent is one that makes people kill for the sake of killing, but the killing here is for destruction, the destruction of all life.

Roar!Roar!

Just then, several beast roars sounded around Yang Wu, and then several monsters appeared around Yang Wu and rushed towards him.

"A demonic beast? No, a ferocious beast!"

Yang Wu frowned slightly.

The monsters charging towards him should have been intelligent beasts, but they had turned into mindless ferocious beasts.

The difference between a demon beast and a ferocious beast is only one word, but their natures are completely different.

Among them, the monsters possess intelligence, while the ferocious beasts can only act on instinct.

The monsters on Earth before belonged to the category of demonic beasts, because as their strength increased, planetary-level monsters became no less intelligent than ordinary people.

These monsters, though stronger than planetary-level beings, have lost their intelligence and can only act on instinct.

call out!call out!

In an instant, a crimson spear appeared in Yang Wu's hand.

Then several spear flashes appeared, each aimed at the vital points of the ferocious beasts that were besieging Yang Wu.

The strongest of these ferocious beasts was only a cosmic-level beast, so how could it possibly withstand Yang Wu's attack?

Almost instantly, they were all killed by Yang Wu.

"These demonic beasts have transformed into ferocious beasts. Could it be due to the influence of that invisible force?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

The invisible force he sensed was unusual, but not powerful enough to affect life forms at the cosmic level or above!
