Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 264 The Transformation of Talent and Comprehension

A primeval, hidden realm, within Yangwu Manor.

After successfully breaking through to the Domain Lord level, Yang Wu began to examine the changes that had occurred after his breakthrough.

When an ordinary life form advances from the cosmic level to the domain master level, the galaxies in its sea of ​​consciousness and dantian are completely swallowed by the black hole. Subsequently, the supermassive black hole collapses to form a 'singularity,' which is the gray sphere that appeared in Yang Wu's original core when he broke through.

After any life form breaks through to the Domain Lord level, its soul will appear in the 'Singularity', which is also known as the 'Life Core'.

This "life core" is extremely small and can appear anywhere in the body.

As long as the 'life core' is not destroyed, even if the heart is pierced or the skull is blown apart, there will be no danger to life.

This is also the real reason why slave chips cannot control domain lord-level powerhouses.

The 'singularity' that devours countless galaxies within a life form will gradually give birth to a world within it. This process of giving birth will continue throughout the entire process from the first level of Domain Lord to the ninth level of Domain Lord!

When this world is successfully conceived, a fundamental transformation will occur, and the conceived world will become a real world!

At that time, it will be time to break through from the Domain Lord level to the World Lord level.

As for realm lord-level powerhouses, they can nurture a true world within their bodies and wield the 'power of the world' with every gesture. This inner world, just like the real world, can store items and sustain countless lives!

At this time, the 'singularity' generated after Yang Wu broke through to the Domain Lord level had perfectly merged with the original core formed by the Star Pearl. Therefore, after Yang Wu broke through, a new life core would not appear in his body. Instead, all his clones would share a single original core.

As long as the original nucleus remains intact, Yang Wu will not perish.

Within each of the clones, a crystalline core similar to a 'singularity' was conceived to provide Force and telekinesis.

"However, it will definitely be a huge hurdle for me to break through to immortality in the future," Yang Wu thought to himself.

To know--

For a realm lord to break through to immortality, their inner world must break free of its 'shackles' and then merge with some spatial fragments in the gaps of the universe to form a truly stable and powerful space—the 'divine kingdom' of immortal gods!

The "shackles" here refer to the "singularity" that appears after breaking through to the Domain Lord level.

Singularities, by their very nature, tend to solidify and become increasingly solid as strength grows, making them extremely difficult to break through.

Ordinary life forms in the universe, after fully comprehending a lower-level law, can break through the shackles and achieve immortality.

But for Yang Wu, this difficulty is countless times greater than that for ordinary people.

Because after breaking through to the Domain Lord level, Yang Wu's singularity had completely merged with the original core formed by the Star Pearl, and the resulting original core had become extremely solid.

Moreover, as Yang Wu's strength grows, his original core will continue to transform. It's conceivable how indestructible his original core will become once he reaches the peak of the Realm Lord level.

Even Luo Feng in the original novel, before achieving perfect genes, would probably be slightly inferior.

However, such a robust primordial core also has some advantages. That is, after Yang Wu breaks through to the World Lord level, his inner world will become even more robust and vast, and the same will be true for his God Kingdom after he enters the Immortal realm.

"The universe is fair. Star behemoths, Zerg queens... the more extraordinary a life form is, the more difficult it is for it to break through to immortality. How much more difficult is it for someone like me who obtained the talent of creating clones through external means? Moreover, I will give birth to many extraordinary special life clones in the future. The Yan God Clan clone is also very likely to reach perfect genes, and it will also encounter some special difficulties and obstacles when breaking through to immortality."

This is the law governing the universe: every sip and every bite is intertwined with fortune and misfortune.

Of course, the greater the difficulty, the more amazing the rewards will be after overcoming it!

"With my current talent and comprehension, in the eyes of others, breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm is no problem at all. How could I not break through to Immortality?" With this thought, a smile immediately appeared on Yang Wu's face.

With the aid of a time simulator, he has a hundred times the cultivation time of a realm lord. How could he possibly fail to break through to immortality?

If 100,000 years won't work, then a million years will do!

Now, as Yang Wu's strength grows and his mind becomes more resilient, he has long since lost the anxiety and uncertainty he felt when he first transmigrated.

What he possesses now is an indomitable spirit, and he can overcome any difficulty he encounters!

……

Within Yang Wu's original core, the Yan God Clan clone had already completed its own breakthrough.

"After the Yan God Clan clone broke through to the Domain Lord level, its life gene count indeed reached four times that of ordinary life in the universe!" Yang Wu smiled as he sensed the aura of the Yan God Clan clone.

The fact that the life gene level of the Yan God Clan clone automatically increased also shows that his initial choice was not wrong.

"But how exactly did those world lord-level geniuses of the Flame God Clan evolve their genes to 16 times, or even 32 times?" Yang Wu pondered.

When Yang Wu was nurturing his avatar of the Flame God Clan, he had already learned that the avatar could autonomously improve its life gene level. However, when he broke through to the Domain Lord level, Yang Wu focused most of his attention on the avatar of the Flame God Clan, but he still couldn't find the reason why the avatar's life gene level was automatically improved.

"The abilities of the Flame God Clan's clones are similar to the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual,' essentially a low-end version of it!" Yang Wu thought to himself. "However, the life forms nurtured by the primordial universe possess astonishing potential. If their comprehension is sufficient, their future potential will undoubtedly be phenomenal!"

Of course, for Yang Wu at the moment, this matter is important, but it is not something that is urgent.

The time simulator played an extremely crucial role in Yang Wu's growth process.

With each breakthrough, the simulation interval on the time simulator will increase, and the upper limit of the simulation time will also increase accordingly.

The time intervals between each simulation on the time simulator have changed from one month at the apprentice level, to half a year at the planetary level, then to three years at the eternal level, and previously to twenty years at the cosmic level...

With the breakthrough in his cultivation realm, Yang Wu's comprehension also improved significantly.

Yang Wu had previously inquired about Hong and Lei Shen's cultivation speed. Although the two of them had also increased their cultivation speed at the cosmic level in an astonishing way, even without the Black Warrior and various auxiliary treasures, Yang Wu's cultivation speed far exceeded that of the two of them.

This contrasts sharply with Yang Wu's experience of being consistently surpassed by Hong and Thor during planetary-level simulations.

Therefore, Yang Wu had ruled out many reasons, and the only reason that could greatly enhance his comprehension was the time simulator in his mind.

"The transformation of comprehension at the Domain Lord level, and the new simulation, it's really something to look forward to!" Yang Wu's eyes were filled with anticipation as he focused his consciousness on the time simulator in his mind.

As he sensed the information emanating from the time simulator, Yang Wu frowned slightly.

Following this breakthrough, the news coming from the simulator was mixed.

The first and most important point is that the interval between each simulation in the time simulator has been changed to 120 years.

Such a long period of time is certainly not good news for Yang Wu.

More importantly, the number of simulations Yang Wu accumulated at the cosmic level has now disappeared. In return, the only change is that the time interval for the first simulation at the domain lord level has been reduced by twenty years.

"It's not easy to take advantage of simulators!" Yang Wu sighed inwardly.

He should have thought of this earlier, just like after the last breakthrough. Although he hadn't accumulated any simulation attempts before, the simulation time interval started from the last simulation.

To be precise, the simulator will not make Yang Wu spend extra time, but it will also prevent Yang Wu from easily finding loopholes.

However, Yang Wu had already gained countless benefits from the Time Simulator, so the events that occurred after this breakthrough did not cause him too much regret.

After all, although 120 years is a long time for Yang Wu, it is short and insignificant compared to the million-year lifespan of a Domain Lord.

Moreover, as his strength grows, Yang Wu's cultivation time will become increasingly longer.

Just like in the virtual universe company, the universe-level qualification battle is held once every hundred years, but the domain lord level battle is held once every thousand years, and the world lord level battle is held only once every hundred thousand years.

"Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it!" Facing the changes in the simulator after his breakthrough, Yang Wu remained calm, then secretly thought, "I should probably study the changes in my comprehension and talent!"

As his strength grew, Yang Wu became increasingly aware of the changes in his soul.

When he broke through, Yang Wu already vaguely sensed some changes occurring deep within his soul.

Immediately, Yang Wu began to sense it.

Yang Wu casually took out a top-level secret technique from the "Flying Immortal World" that he had never studied before, and began to calmly comprehend it.

……

An hour later.

Yang Wu's eyes widened like copper bells, his heart filled with immense surprise and disbelief.

"Comprehension comparable to a peerless genius appearing only once every tens of thousands of epochs?"

"His talent has become so astonishing?"

At this moment, Yang Wu could hardly contain his joy; he could even clearly feel his heart pounding.

Even before he realized his talent was transforming, Yang Wu had already begun collecting information on geniuses of all levels.

The speed at which he comprehended that secret technique he had never practiced before was already comparable to that of those peerless geniuses who only appear once every tens of thousands of epochs.

Moreover, Yang Wu was researching secret techniques at the time and was not receiving any enhancements from the Black Warrior or various auxiliary treasures.

In other words, Yang Wu's current comprehension and talent are in no way inferior to that of Bo Lan, a genius martial artist of the same generation as him.

Prior to this, Yang Wu's comprehension and talent at the cosmic level were only comparable to those of Moro, a member of the Primal Secret Realm. If placed among the master-level members of the Primal Secret Realm, he probably wouldn't even rank in the top ten.

After all, on average, there are only one hundred realm lords in the primordial secret realm every ten million years.

The reason Yang Wu was able to cause such a sensation in reality was simply because he had many treasures around him when he was comprehending the laws, and he also cultivated for nearly ten thousand years in the simulator, which allowed him to barely understand all the essence of the laws of space.

While this speed isn't slow, it's far inferior to a genius like Berlan, who only appears once every tens of thousands of epochs.

But now?

Yang Wu's comprehension alone is already comparable to Bo Lan's! Add to that his superior cultivation conditions and the hundredfold boost from the time simulator, how astonishing will his future achievements be?

"I remember in the original story, Bolan became a King-level Immortal within 100,000 years. What about me? If everything goes smoothly in the simulation, will I gain King-level comprehension of the laws within 1,000 years?"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu was completely stunned.

A thousand years, a comprehension of the laws at the King level!

For anyone else, it would be unthinkable!

But Yang Wu has the ability to create clones, so even in a simulated experience, it's unlikely he'll perish.

Moreover, Yang Wu is a Black Warrior and possesses treasures far exceeding those of Bo Lan. With the guidance of the Nine Swords Venerable, he might reach the King-level comprehension in a few hundred years!

"The time simulator is simply too amazing!" Yang Wu exclaimed to himself.

Even a god-king level powerhouse like Zuo Shan Ke was still subject to the restrictions of the original universe's operating laws after reincarnation.

Secret techniques like the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" can cause the laws of the universe to automatically erase the cultivator's memories. Even the Mountain Hermit has to use extremely special treasures and pay such a price, and only then can he allow one person to cultivate.

But the time simulator is different!

Since the time simulator appeared in Yang Wu's mind, it has never been subject to any restrictions.

This is an opportunity far beyond the level of the primordial universe, and it might even be related to Yang Wu's time travel!

"My talent and comprehension have improved so dramatically, it seems I need to change my cultivation plan!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

In Yang Wu's original plan, he intended to remain at the Domain Lord level for over a thousand years. Only after traversing the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a Domain Lord level realm, would he break through to the World Lord level.

But now that his talent and comprehension have become so extraordinary, it has become much easier for him to cross the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which is at the Domain Lord level. Naturally, he can no longer continue to act according to the original plan.

"No matter what, I still have to go to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

The slave trader leader, Pansy, possesses Locke Divine Water worth billions of Chaos Units. Such immense wealth is not to be missed.

It's important to understand that even if Yang Wu successfully navigated the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic-level mountain, he would only receive 100 million points, which would only be distributed after he broke through to the Realm Lord level.

A billion Mixed Yuan Units is comparable to the entire fortune of a poorer, peak-level Immortal King.

"However, the most important thing now is to go to my teacher and seek guidance on the fourth and fifth diagrams on the Nine Universe Chaos Stele!" Yang Wu pondered.

Of all the treasures and resources around Yang Wu, the ones that helped him comprehend the laws the most were the Black Warrior's enhancement and the Nine Swords Venerable's guidance.

However, in the past twenty years, Yang Wu has not sought guidance from the Nine Swords Venerable in order to slowly reveal the insights into the laws he gained in the simulated experience, which has caused his cultivation speed to slow down considerably during this period.

Now that the time has come, he naturally will no longer continue to cultivate at such a slow pace.

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and teleported himself directly to the Nine Swords Venerable's temple on Thunder Island.
