Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 256 New Simulation

Soon, Yang Wu encountered a group of adventurers who had come to train outside the city in an area relatively close to the nearby city.

This adventurer team is quite powerful. The leader of the team has the strength of a seventh-level Domain Lord, and the weakest of the rest are all cosmic-level powerhouses.

However, such strength was simply no match for Yang Wu. Therefore, Yang Wu easily infiltrated the enemy's team and learned a lot of information about the Death Star through various means.

On this dead star, most areas are ruins, making it impossible for life to grow.

Even places capable of nurturing life are filled with a large amount of 'death energy'. Only in some very special locations can one escape the influence of death energy.

Therefore, over the long years, those special locations became human settlements and cities. And the areas outside the cities became training grounds for the strong.

As for the primordial crystals, there are ten types, each corresponding to one of the two superior laws of time and space, and one of the eight inferior laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, light, and wind.

Once a crystal representing the origin of a certain law is worn on the body, the user's affinity for that law can increase by 30% out of thin air!

The Origin Gem is also divided into ten types. Wearing it can increase the user's affinity with the laws by 50%.

Generally speaking, on this dead star, only domain lord-level powerhouses and some incredibly talented cosmic-level geniuses can obtain Origin Crystals. As for Origin Crystals that can increase the affinity between the two superior laws, they are even more precious and are generally held by at least peak domain lord-level powerhouses.

The Origin Gem, on the other hand, is a treasure that only World Lord-level powerhouses can use.

This is also the difference between extreme missions and dangerous missions.

The first survival mission on the Death Star, if undertaken with a little caution, is not too difficult for most geniuses.

However, to complete the second collection task as quickly as possible, one must deal with ten domain lord-level powerhouses, two of whom are even more powerful. Even for geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm, accomplishing this would be extremely difficult.

If we proceed slowly, we'll waste who knows how much more time.

The third Origin Gem mission is even more difficult. Even for a top-tier Domain Lord genius in the Heavenly Region, not everyone can defeat a World Lord powerhouse, let alone a Universe-level genius whose basic strength is thousands of times weaker than that of a top-tier Domain Lord.

Yang Wu, however, is different. His genes are forty times stronger than those of ordinary life forms, and his understanding of the laws is comparable to that of an ordinary immortal. Even without the aid of the power of the auxiliary metal life form, he is capable of dealing with an opponent at the ninth level of the Domain Lord realm.

Therefore, Yang Wu only gathered information about those who possessed Origin Crystals and Origin Gems before choosing to take immediate action.

Those who caused harm to the area were killed by Yang Wu, while some well-regarded experts were only taken by Yang Wu from their source crystals and source gems.

It took Yang Wu about two years to collect a complete set of primordial crystals and a number of primordial gems.

The Origin Crystal was used to complete the mission, and he also prepared some Origin Gems for himself in addition to completing the mission. As for his relatives and friends, it is unknown whether the Virtual Universe Company allows them to be given away.

While collecting the Origin Gems, Yang Wu also gathered a lot of information about them.

While the Primal Crystals and Primal Gems on the Death Star are precious, there are still a considerable number of them overall.

Most of the Origin Crystals were collected by adventurer teams in those life-bearing areas shrouded in deathly aura. Each one that appeared would attract countless powerful individuals to fight over it. Origin Gems were found in the outermost, ruined areas where life could not possibly flourish. It was said that only those at the cosmic level or above could enter those ruins without being affected.

This also filled Yang Wu with curiosity about the depths of the ruins.

For a considerable period of time afterward, Yang Wu began his exploration of the ruins, attempting to uncover the secrets hidden within this dead star.

The area of ​​ruins was filled with an aura of death far denser than any area capable of supporting life, rendering detectors useless. Exploration required relying entirely on the naked eye.

Therefore, Yang Wu first sought out many powerful adventurer teams, and after some "friendly" negotiations, successfully obtained a large number of maps from them.

Unfortunately, the adventurer teams that Yang Wu, who couldn't use the auxiliary metal life form, could handle were mostly led by domain lord-level powerhouses, and the areas they explored were only the outermost layer of the ruins.

……

Ten years later.

The Death Star, deep within the ruins.

A figure clad in dark gold armor is exploring a massive, abandoned temple.

This abandoned temple covers an area of ​​vast size, stretching tens of thousands of kilometers in both length and width. It is the most mysterious place that Yang Wu discovered in the ruins of the Death Star.

call out!

Suddenly, a dark light flashed.

This dark light was extremely fast; even with Yang Wu's strength, he couldn't see its true form.

Whoosh!

The dark light shot towards Yang Wu, piercing his forehead in an instant. Yang Wu was utterly powerless to resist and was instantly killed.

……

High in the sky above the Death Star.

A silver-white triangular spaceship is hovering in the void. The spaceship's hatch is tightly closed, and its surface is covered by an energy shield. This is Yang Wu's safe base.

Yang Wu's Fiery God Clan clone has been waiting here with its original core. As for some of Yang Wu's precious treasures and quest items, they have all been placed here.

In the control room.

The tall and imposing avatar of the Flame God Clan sat on the spacious sofa, lost in thought.

After a long silence, Yang Wu sighed, "I've died again!"

This experience of death was already commonplace for Yang Wu!

A moment later, Yang Wu's original form was immediately reborn from the primordial core.

The process of re-creating a clone after its death is significantly different from the initial creation of a clone. As long as there is enough energy, the regeneration speed is astonishing. Moreover, Yang Wu had already prepared a large amount of cosmic crystals to nurture the clone before arriving here.

"As expected of a top-tier mission!" Yang Wu shook his head and exclaimed, "The great secrets within any top-tier mission are not something a cosmic-level being can easily uncover!"

"Based on the information I have now, the secrets contained within the Death Star must be hidden in these ruins!" Yang Wu muttered to himself, then began to recall everything he had explored over the past ten years.

The environment inside the Death Star was unique, rendering detection signals ineffective, so Yang Wu could only rely on himself to explore the secrets deep within the ruins bit by bit.

At first, Yang Wu relied on his strong mental state and was not afraid of the influence of the death aura, so he dared to go deeper and deeper into the ruins and explore dangerous places.

Over the past decade, he has acquired dozens of primordial gems, as well as several extremely precious materials from the universe, with a total value exceeding three million Chaos Units.

Yang Wu paid the price of dying three times for the wealth of three million Hunyuan units.

In the past two years, Yang Wu discovered that strange and enormous abandoned temple.

In the past two years, Yang Wu has died more than ten times in his quest to find that place!

"If I'm not mistaken, that abandoned temple should contain some of the opportunities from the Death Star!" Yang Wu pondered, "However, I haven't been able to explore it!"

The area Yang Wu explored was less than one percent of all the ruins on the Death Star, so he certainly didn't think that the abandoned temple was the greatest opportunity.

But since that abandoned temple could cause Yang Wu's death more than ten times, it must contain some secrets. Otherwise, given the strength of the five major powers, they wouldn't have left such a dangerous place in the cultivation mission world.

Just like the Primordial Secret Realm and the Primordial Secret Realm, which are controlled by the five major forces such as the Virtual Universe Company, most of them have been developed and modified and are no longer dangerous. However, they contain extremely rich cosmic energy, so they are very suitable for cultivation.

Even without using the Metal Life Possession technique, Yang Wu's strength, when unleashed at full power, was in no way inferior to a peak Domain Lord who had passed the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge. However, in that abandoned temple, he had no ability to resist whatsoever.

"As expected of a critical mission, if it's just about completing the task, that's fine, but if you have other ideas, it's very difficult to save your life!"

Yang Wu sighed inwardly, "Even Luo Feng back then only managed to stumble into the land of the Demonic Sound God General's inheritance by virtue of the special nature of his Demon Slayer Clan avatar! If I want to rely on my own strength to explore an opportunity comparable to the Demonic Sound God General's inheritance, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!"

In fact, Yang Wu should have thought of this earlier. In the Desperate Mission Demon Mountain, the inheritance of the Demonic Sound God General was not an opportunity reserved for cosmic-level geniuses. Otherwise, he would not have sent an immortal-level phantom beast to guard the inheritance hall.

As for the opportunity that belongs to a cosmic-level genius, it should be those ten thousand black metal plates!

In the original story, Luo Feng accidentally collected the ten thousand metal plates and immediately received a precious material as a reward.

Based on this, it is highly unlikely that Yang Wu, with his current strength, could obtain a truly great opportunity.

As for Yang Wu's achievement of accumulating millions of Chaos Units in just over ten years, even a King-level Immortal would probably envy him.

However, such gains were not worth the time Yang Wu had invested.

If Yang Wu weren't familiar with the original work, he could have just wasted some time collecting resources! But Yang Wu, who was familiar with the original work, knew very well that the slave trader leader 'Pansy' possessed Locke Divine Water worth billions of Mixed Yuan Units.

Once Yang Wu breaks through to the Domain Lord level, he will immediately be able to possess such a large fortune.

In the original novel, Luo Feng didn't dare to reveal his identity at first, but he was not worried about Yang Wu's identity!

Through Master Nine Swords, Yang Wu was able to easily exchange the large amount of Locke Divine Water for points or Hunyuan units.

Therefore, it seems that Yang Wu no longer needs to waste time on the desperate mission.

Because if a great opportunity is protected by a power similar to a mythical beast, then even if Yang Wu really finds it, he simply cannot obtain it.

Thinking of this, Yang Wu's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Then let's see how much I can gain from the next two simulations!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Yes, the year is now 2245 Earth time, and the number of times recorded on the time simulator in Yang Wu's mind has changed again, reaching twice.

Clearly, the number of attempts on the simulator can be accumulated.

Thinking about this, Yang Wu's mindset had changed.

Soon, Yang Wu activated the time simulator in his mind.

"Current simulation attempt: 2. Start The Sims now?"

Yang Wu immediately gave the order in his mind: "Yes!"

Immediately, another piece 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. Steady; 2. Adventurous; 3. Selfish."

Looking at these long-unseen introductions and options, Yang Wu sighed inwardly.

Forty years had passed since the last simulation began. Since acquiring the simulator, Yang Wu had never waited so long.

However, Yang Wu is no longer worried about not having a stable and cautious option.

With the ability to create clones, as long as Yang Wu doesn't actively seek death, the possibility of him dying by accident is already very small.

The option of 'selfishness' is completely out of the question, and since Yang Wu has already given up the opportunities in the mission world, he directly chose the steady personality.

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

[At 142 years old, your physical attributes have reached the ninth level of the cosmic level, and you could break through to the domain lord level at any time. However, in order to accept missions and gain points at the cosmic level, you have not chosen to break through.]

[Nearly fifty years have passed since you left Chaos City. You have gained recognition from the fundamental laws of fire, and in terms of spatial laws, you have also comprehended the 16 most profound essences.]

[You are currently undertaking the critical-level 'Death Star' quest in the Realm of Glory. After obtaining all the quest items, you leave the Realm of Glory.]

After returning to the original secret realm, you directly passed the tenth level of the Sky Bridge, drawing astonishment from many.

[At 144 years old, having already completed eight cultivation missions, you have accepted another extremely difficult mission.]

[With your cautious approach, you left your life core in an extremely safe place before embarking on a new, critical mission.]

[Fifteen years have passed, and you have completed two more extreme missions. With this, you have used up all the mission quota you've accumulated over the past century, and you have begun to cultivate diligently in the primordial secret realm.]

[At 172 years old, nearly a century has passed since you left the initial universe, and you have finally comprehended the essence of a new spatial law.]

[In the past hundred years, your contemporaries, the geniuses Bolan and Luo Feng, have successively passed the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven, Rong Jun has passed the sixth level, and your wife Qian Shui, under your guidance, has also passed the fifth level.]

This year, the once-in-a-century cosmic-level qualifying battle also began.

Having already reached the tenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, you naturally won all four battles and successfully remained in the Primordial Secret Realm. However, your wife, Qian Shui, like many other newly joined geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, was temporarily relegated to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

[The most surprising thing about this qualifying round was your friend Luo Feng. He had just passed the seventh level of the Sky Bridge, but then defeated all his opponents and successfully entered the Primal Secret Realm.]

[At 186 years old, your friend Hong encountered some trouble. To help him resolve it, you directly broke through to the Domain Lord level and became the Inspectorate Envoy of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.]

Your breakthrough has brought a sigh of relief to all the geniuses at the Virtual Universe Company. At the same time, it has caused great concern among all the Domain Lord-level geniuses within the company. It's clear that having conquered the tenth level of the Bridge to Heaven in just over a hundred years of cultivation, you will undoubtedly secure a spot in the Primordial Secret Realm during the Domain Lord-level qualification battle hundreds of years from now. This will intensify the competition among the many Domain Lords of the Primordial Secret Realm!

After thinking it over, I decided not to go to the secret realm.
