Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 258 Yang Wu's Plan

After surviving two assassination attempts by the Zerg, Yang Wu chose to go to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion.

Although Yang Wu was stuck at the last step for nearly three hundred years because the essence of the final 108th spatial law was extremely difficult to comprehend.

However, the two thousand years in the simulation were long enough. Finally, in the nineteen hundred years in the simulator, Yang Wu successfully comprehended the 108 essential aspects of the laws of space and finally passed the twelfth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

Once the simulation ended, three reward options immediately appeared on the simulator panel.

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

[First, his martial arts cultivation at age 2142.]

[Part Two: Martial Arts Insights at Age 2142.]

[Part Three: Simulated Life Experiences.]

Seeing that this simulation experience was very similar to the last one, Yang Wu didn't hesitate and immediately chose the reward of martial arts enlightenment.

"I choose reward two!"

At the very moment Yang Wu made his choice, countless insights flooded his mind once again.

This was the second time in just a few minutes that he had made such a rapid advancement in his understanding of the laws.

Fortunately, once you accept the simulator's rewards, you can immediately grasp the concepts.

Feeling all the insights he had gained, Yang Wu was overjoyed.

In terms of the laws of fire, Yang Wu has almost reached the pinnacle, having thoroughly comprehended all three major branches of the laws of fire. With just one more step, he will be able to comprehend the entire laws of fire.

Of course, although the fundamental law of fire is only a lower-level law, it is still extremely difficult to successfully take this final step.

Even with Yang Wu's current talent and comprehension, it would take him tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years to fully comprehend the ultimate laws of fire. However, this is before reaching the World Lord level. If Yang Wu can break through to the World Lord level, it would probably take less than a thousand years for him to comprehend the entire fundamental laws of fire.

This means that if Yang Wu were just an ordinary genius, he would probably become an ordinary immortal god with an eternal lifespan within the next hundred years.

At the same time, Yang Wu, feeling his amazing progress, was secretly glad: "It's a good thing I chose to fuse with the Star Pearl, which made it much more difficult for me to enter the immortal realm! Otherwise, if I had comprehended the entire Law of Flame in the simulation, I would probably have been forcibly broken through to the immortal god stage."

Generally speaking, once a being in the primordial universe comprehends any lower-level law, it can connect to the corresponding ocean of laws in the origin of the universe. When the aura of the ocean of primordial laws is transmitted to this being, it can break through to immortality.

Unless the original core containing the inner world is too solid, one can usually break through to the immortal god stage immediately.

Moreover, this process is irreversible. Once you understand any of the lower laws, you will inevitably need to break the original core with the strongest means. This process will only stop if you fail to break the original core.

"I wonder what would have happened if I had comprehended the entire fundamental law of flame at the cosmic or domain lord level?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

In this vast universe, all living beings find it easier to improve their martial arts realm. Even if someone can comprehend a lower-level law in about ten thousand years, that is still enough time for them to reach the peak of the realm lord.

But Yang Wu is different. If Yang Wu has his own ideas, he can stay at the cosmic level and rely on the simulator to comprehend the entire fundamental law of fire.

Suppressing his inner thoughts for the time being, Yang Wu once again savored the gains he had made in the new simulation.

Besides the progress in his Fire Law, Yang Wu's Metal Law also made significant progress after comprehending the Golden Horn Clan's sacred stele once again. If we use the Bridge to Heaven as a benchmark, then Yang Wu's Metal Law is now sufficient to pass through the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

As for the amplitude-based secret technique "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body", Yang Wu did not make any progress because he had not yet broken through to the Realm Lord stage.

Moreover, the third level of "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body" requires a full ten million points. Judging from Yang Wu's experience in the simulator, it is not easy to collect so many points.

Of course, in reality, these ten million points would soon become insignificant to Yang Wu.

The most astonishing finding in this simulation was undoubtedly the law of space.

After absorbing all the insights, Yang Wu also mastered all 108 essential aspects of the laws of space.

"Haha, the path to understanding the essence of spatial laws is truly heaven-defying!" Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "After comprehending all the essences of space, I now have complete confidence in how to cultivate the fourth, fifth, and sixth diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele!"

Although the fourth to sixth images of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele are incredibly complex, they are actually just an integration of the 108 spatial essences.

The 108 spatial essences are like ingredients.

The spatial laws inscribed on the fourth to sixth images are like delicious dishes. Although these dishes are all different and their preparation processes are incredibly complex, they are all ultimately made from various ingredients.

Yang Wu approached the cultivation of the fourth to sixth diagrams from the essence, naturally unlike ordinary cultivators who foolishly tried to comprehend them.

In this way, Yang Wu's cultivation speed will naturally be faster.

Feeling all the insights in his mind, Yang Wu was overjoyed.

In just a few minutes, Yang Wu had only gone through two simulations, and his strength had already improved by leaps and bounds.

These few minutes of enlightenment about the laws have even surpassed Yang Wu's accumulation over the past hundred years.

If Yang Wu hadn't possessed an extraordinary state of mind, he would probably be lost in the immense achievements brought about by the simulator by now.

After a moment of silence, Yang Wu finally came to his senses.

"My amazing progress is actually quite normal! After all, my comprehension and talent are now comparable to those of a peerless genius who appears only once every hundreds of thousands of years in human history! With the help of various treasures and thousands of years in the simulator, it is only natural that I have comprehended the essence of all the spatial laws!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Since Yang Wu began to comprehend the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, nearly ten thousand years have passed in the simulator.

Especially in the last two simulations, the Dark Knight's blessing, the assistance of the Primal Stone on the Death Star, and various arcane techniques available for study...

Any treasure is extremely precious in the universe!

The most important of these was the guidance from Nine Swords Venerable, a powerful figure who had comprehended the entire law of space!

After Yang Wu comprehended the third diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, the diagram that the Nine Swords Venerable demonstrated for him, although not as good as the complete Nine Universes Chaos Stele, was at least one-tenth as effective as the Nine Universes Chaos Stele in analyzing the essence of spatial laws.

This is the essential difference between a Venerable who has comprehended a superior law and an immortal being. Even a King like True King Yan, who is invincible, could not guide Yang Wu like the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Next, I'll have to wait for the number of attempts on the time simulator to refresh before I can break through to the Domain Lord level!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

In fact, Yang Wu did not expect that his progress in these two simulations would be so amazing.

Originally, according to Yang Wu's own guess, even if he didn't die unexpectedly in the simulator, he would probably need four or five more simulations to fully comprehend the essence of the laws of space.

Because of Yang Wu's previous simulation, over two thousand years, he had only managed to comprehend the essence of 14 of the most profound spatial laws.

What Yang Wu didn't expect was that in these two simulations, he first broke through to the Domain Lord level, and then with the help of the Black Warrior and the Origin Gem, his cultivation speed greatly increased, and he finally comprehended the essence of all the spatial laws.

Accumulating one simulation attempt before the breakthrough was one of Yang Wu's original plans.

Because simulation attempts can be accumulated, Yang Wu wanted to see if the accumulated simulation attempts would still exist after his breakthrough.

Since Yang Wu obtained the time simulator, the time interval between each breakthrough has increased, roughly six times the original interval.

If simulation attempts could be accumulated to the next level, then Yang Wu could accumulate a large number of attempts at the Domain Lord stage and then conduct simulations after breaking through to the Realm Lord stage.

This would greatly increase the simulation time; the time interval at the domain master level would be equivalent to the simulation time at the boundary master level.

Therefore, although Yang Wu has now comprehended the essence of all 108 fundamental laws of space, he still needs to wait for the simulator to refresh its count in twenty years.

"This way, I can just finish the remaining two critical-level missions!" Yang Wu thought for a moment, then added, "Moreover, I can gradually reveal all my insights into the laws over the next twenty years!"

Yang Wu has now fully comprehended the essence of the fundamental laws of space. With his current understanding of these laws, coupled with numerous secret techniques, he is now capable of traversing the cosmic-level Tongtian Mountain.

However, before this, Yang Wu had only demonstrated the strength of the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge in the virtual universe. If he were to directly challenge the universe-level Tongtian Mountain now, it would definitely attract a lot of attention. Even his teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable, would probably have many questions.

"I still can't be too impulsive!" Yang Wu sighed inwardly. "Over the next twenty years, I slowly revealed my understanding of the laws bit by bit! Although it was still incredibly astonishing, I became a Black Warrior and obtained the Origin Gem, so it was still somewhat acceptable!"

"Then, let's return to the original secret realm!"

With that in mind, Yang Wu stopped considering the opportunities on the Death Star and decided to return directly to the Primal Secret Realm.

While extreme missions may contain some incredible opportunities, they are very difficult to obtain without special methods like the Demon Slayer Clan's clone.

Yang Wu chose to nurture a clone of the Flame God Clan. Although the clone will have great combat power in the future, at this stage, the combat power of the Flame God Clan clone is still not as good as Yang Wu's original human body. It is just that the clone is larger in size.

With a thought, Yang Wu immediately instructed Chi Yan, who was controlling the spaceship, to steer it away from the Death Star.

……

In the boundless void beyond the Death Star, an incomparably towering palace floats there. This is the Temple of Desolation.

This is one of the sacred grounds of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, where many powerful beings in the alliance cultivate in seclusion.

Whoosh!

The Desolate Temple in the void is countless times larger than an ordinary star.

At this moment, a streak of light flew out from the bottom of the temple and rushed towards a silver-white triangular spaceship flying towards them.

"drop!"

"Your Highness Yang Wu, hello. I am 'Kalock,' the guide from the Temple of Desolation. Congratulations, Your Highness Yang Wu, on completing the Death Star training mission."

The spaceship sent a message directly, and under its guidance, Yang Wu arrived at the spacious hall on the last floor of the Desolate Temple.

Yang Wu stepped out of the spaceship and then put the silver-white spaceship away.

Wearing a purple uniform and sporting a single horn on his forehead, the middle-aged world lord guide, 'Kalock,' immediately came to greet them.

"Your Highness Yang Wu!" Karok looked at Yang Wu and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You've actually spent over ten years on the Death Star. Have you already completed all three missions?"

There are three missions in total for the Death Star. Generally speaking, the first mission, the survival mission, is the easiest to complete! Most of the geniuses who accept the Death Star missions complete this one mission.

As for the second collection task, it is occasionally completed by someone.

However, the task of collecting the third Origin Gem has not been completed for over a thousand years.

Even though Carlock was only a peripheral member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, he had already heard of Yang Wu's reputation as a peerless genius. That's why he believed that Yang Wu had spent more than ten years on the Death Star and was very likely to have completed three missions.

"Hmm!" Yang Wu nodded.

"That's really impressive, congratulations Your Highness Yang Wu!" Karok said enviously.

Having been stationed in the desolate temple for a long time, Karok was well aware of the rewards for this mission. Each mission was worth 100,000 points, totaling 300,000 points.

Karok is only a peripheral member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. After cultivating for over 800,000 years, he has only accumulated nearly 10,000 points.

It's important to understand that while the points from the five major factions are not interchangeable, their value is quite similar.

"Thank you!" Yang Wu said with a slight smile.

"His Highness Yang Wu's reputation is probably already known to many in the five major powers!" Karok flattered, "His Highness rose from the peak genius battle and is now hailed as a peerless genius who appears only once every hundreds of thousands of epochs. It is truly amazing."

As Carlock led the way, he talked with Yang Wu, appearing quite excited.

Frankly speaking, being able to guide Yang Wu, a peerless genius from the lineage of the Virtual Universe Company, will be one of the most important topics of conversation for him for the next few thousand years.

Although Yang Wu and his companion were walking slowly, their pace was still quite fast.

Not long after they left, Karlock led Yang Wu to another spacious hall.

Yang Wu looked around. The hall was densely packed with countless spaceships, the worst of which were comparable to the E-class spaceship Yang Wu was using, and there were even quite a few F-class spaceships.

Carlock walked up to a saucer-shaped spaceship with a diameter of about 300 meters and respectfully said to Yang Wu, "Your Highness Yang Wu, I will take you this far. This is a spaceship arranged by my Desolate Temple for Your Highness. It will safely escort Your Highness back to the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company."

"Thank you." Yang Wu nodded in thanks, then entered the saucer-shaped F-class spaceship.

Inside the spaceship, there was already an immortal military leader from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance waiting among them.

Whoosh!

After Yang Wu communicated with the other party, the spaceship quickly left the Desolate Temple and then accelerated to the speed of light, traversing into the dark universe.
