Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 266 Yang Wu's Plan (6000 words, to be updated on October 13th)

After Yang Wu left the Nine Swords Venerable's temple and his consciousness returned to reality, the staff of the Virtual Universe Company stationed on the Wu Chen Continent had already arrived in Yang Wu's territory.

Then, Yang Wu, led by Field, the leader of the guards, arrived at a reception room.

At this moment, three black-clad stewards were waiting in the reception room. When they saw Yang Wu appear, they immediately came to greet him.

Three black-clad envoys bowed respectfully to Yang Wu, and then the leader said gently, "Your Highness Yang Wu, the Virtual Universe Network has learned through your network connection device that you have entered the Domain Lord level."

"According to company regulations, a few of us need to verify your breakthrough in real-world terms."

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile.

Although both consciousness-sensing helmets and smart optical computers can perform simple body detection as long as they are connected to the virtual universe.

However, these devices are all quite basic and their accuracy is not very high, so the Virtual Universe Company still needs to check them in the real world to confirm that the core members have made a breakthrough.

After confirmation, Yang Wucai was able to obtain the relevant permissions of a Primal Secret Realm Domain Lord level member and could apply for a Domain Lord stage nutrient chamber for physical evolution.

Soon, with the assistance of three black-clad deacons, Yang Wu underwent various tests on his Force, psychic abilities, and blood using a variety of sophisticated instruments.

"After examination, we have confirmed that Your Highness Yang Wu has achieved a breakthrough!"

The head black-clad steward respectfully reported, "Your Highness, all verification information has been simultaneously transmitted into the virtual universe network. Congratulations on your advancement to the Domain Lord level!"

These three black-clad deacons, who were able to serve the members of the Primal Realm, were certainly well-informed within the Virtual Universe Company.

Therefore, they naturally learned that Yang Wu had passed the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

However, they simply could not imagine that this cosmic-level genius, who had only left Chaos City less than a hundred years ago, was already able to pass through the twelve levels of the Heavenly Bridge.

Compared to such an astonishing understanding of the laws, Yang Wu's breakthrough to the Domain Lord level seemed insignificant.

After all, even the most talented Domain Lord-level members in the Primordial Secret Realm had only passed the eleventh level of the Bridge to Heaven.

"Thank you!" Yang Wu asked with a smile, "When can I apply for a nutrient tank at the Domain Lord level?"

Upon hearing Yang Wu's question, the leading black-clad steward quickly replied, "Your Highness, we have brought the nutrient tank. You can begin evolving your body at any time!"

call!

Suddenly, a gray nutrient tank appeared out of thin air in front of Yang Wu and was placed directly in the hall.

"One more thing I need to remind Your Highness is that your nutrient solution quota far exceeds that of other Domain Lord-level geniuses, and is even enough to help hundreds of ordinary first-tier Domain Lord geniuses advance to the ninth tier!"

The head black-clad butler answered respectfully, but inwardly he was astonished—

Although he didn't understand why, even though they were all at the first level of Domain Lord, some core geniuses required more nutrient solution for evolution than most geniuses.

However, since he took charge of this task at the Virtual Universe Company, the highest quota he has ever encountered has only been a little over ten times the normal quota.

And what about this Prince Yang Wu before us?

That's a full hundred times the normal quota!

Unlike nutrient tanks, which can be reused, nutrient solutions, as precious treasures that drive the evolution of the body and soul, are entirely consumables.

The nutrient solution allows users to evolve to the peak of their current realm in a very short time without any side effects, and it is very different from normal energy.

For powerful beings at the Domain Lord level in the Cosmic Kingdom, their cultivation and evolution rely entirely on their own efforts, with the most assistance of some cosmic crystals. Just to accumulate energy to the limit of the Domain Lord stage, it would take hundreds of thousands of years.

As for some incredibly wealthy and powerful individuals, they can use some precious treasures when accumulating energy, but even with their immense wealth, they simply cannot obtain treasures comparable to the precious nutrient solutions provided by the Virtual Universe Company.

Moreover, the nutrient solution quota for a single ordinary domain lord-level core member is worth tens of thousands of Chaos Units, which is comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary immortal god.

Yang Wu smiled and nodded, inwardly sighing with admiration.

Virtual Universe Corporation, as one of the five major forces of the human race, is indeed incredibly wealthy and powerful.

Even if core members of the Doomsday Secret Realm break through to immortality, it will ultimately be difficult for them to bring much wealth to the Virtual Universe Company.

Needless to say, most of the core members would perish before achieving immortality.

In fact, even if a champion were to emerge in every Genius Battle, the Virtual Universe Company would still suffer huge losses!

Moreover, over the long course of human history, countless genius battles have been held, but how many have truly emerged as kings and immortals from these battles or battles of the strong?

However, the five major human powers continue to spend vast amounts of resources cultivating human geniuses regardless of the cost.

The purpose is to cultivate in this way so that as many truly renowned super beings as possible can be born among the human race!

As long as a Universe Venerable is cultivated, the human race will not suffer too much loss. If a Universe Lord can emerge, then it will undoubtedly be a huge profit.

As for the strongest being in the universe, who is so rare and hard to find, it's rather ethereal and unrealistic!

"Besides the nutrient solution, there is something else I need to tell you, Your Highness!" the head black-clad steward continued.

Yang Wu stood aside and listened.

"According to the regulations of my Virtual Universe Company, Your Highness, once you reach the Domain Lord level, you must be transferred to a new post!"

The black-clad steward looked at Yang Wu and said gently, "According to convention, core members at the Domain Lord level are usually sent to their home universe. Your Highness, your home is the Qianwu Universe. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to take up an important position in your home universe? If not, Your Highness can choose any other universe."

"I am willing to go to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

"Your Highness!"

The head black-clad steward respectfully said, "Because you are a member of the Primal Secret Realm, your authority is extremely high. Therefore, your appointment requires a process. Generally speaking, the appointment will be completed within six months. Please wait patiently, Your Highness."

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded.

He had nothing urgent to attend to when he returned to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, so he didn't care how long it took for the appointment to be issued.

For Yang Wu, this was a perfect opportunity to digest what he had gained in the cultivation mission world and improve his own strength.

Some of his equipment needs to be replaced, and he also needs to purchase additional content for secret techniques such as "Time and Space Notes" and "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body".

Assisting in the cultivation of metallic and plant life...

Yang Wu has too many things to do, including even purchasing new spaceships.

During his cosmic-level cultivation missions, Yang Wu had become accustomed to the extremely advanced F-class spaceships provided by the Virtual Universe Company, and naturally looked down on his original E-class spaceship.

In terms of speed alone, there is an insurmountable gap between the two.

The F-class spaceships equipped by Virtual Universe Company can typically reach speeds of 50 times the speed of light in the dark universe.

The E-class spaceship that Yang Wu had previously purchased only reached a top speed of 15 times the speed of light.

Besides these, there are many other things to do.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yang Wu's mind.

"Your Highness, the matter is settled, we will not disturb you any longer." The three black-clad stewards bowed respectfully, then transformed into three streaks of light and left the hall.

……

After the three staff members left, Yang Wu sat in the main seat, looking at the nutrient tank left behind by the three in the hall, and pondered in his heart.

"Back then, I was merely a ninth-tier cosmic-level being. It was only through the assistance of the metallic lifeform 'Kash' that I gained power comparable to a peak Domain Lord. Coupled with my astonishing understanding of the laws, this allowed me to contend with a sixth-tier World Lord!"

"But once I evolve to the peak of the Domain Lord level through the nutrient tank, my basic strength alone will already be comparable to that of an ordinary third-tier World Lord, except that I won't have a world projection!"

"If I were to add my incredibly astonishing understanding of the laws, even a peak-level World Lord who has gained the recognition of the laws would probably be no match for me!"

Peak realm lords who have gained the recognition of the laws can usually pass through the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven, but Yang Wu passed through the twelfth level.

The huge gap in understanding the laws, coupled with the four-fold amplitude secret technique of the second level of "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body", should be enough to make up for the hundredfold gap in the foundation.

"If Kash can evolve to the ninth level of the Realm Lord..." Yang Wu thought with anticipation, "If I borrow Kash's power, I'll probably be able to rival even the most ordinary immortal god!"

Generally speaking, for auxiliary life forms like Kashgar that can completely merge with the user, the power mobilized by the user can reach up to a hundred times their own strength.

In this primordial universe, in many places, a hundredfold is the limit. Like physical exertion, like the amplitude of bodily vibrations or the amplitude of the soul…

After Yang Wu reached the ninth level of the Domain Lord realm, with his life gene strength of up to forty times, he could indeed mobilize the power of an ordinary ninth-level Domain Lord.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the metal life form Kash being able to evolve to the peak of the Realm Lord level!

Yang Wu was in a good mood for a moment, and then a wisp of his consciousness connected to the virtual universe network.

……

Virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain, primitive zone.

Inside the study of Yangwu Manor.

"Chiyan, compile all the gains I made during my previous cultivation missions and mark their values. I need to know exactly how much wealth I have now before considering what items I need to buy," Yang Wu ordered, sitting directly at his desk.

"Yes, Master!" The little red dragon on Yang Wu's shoulder immediately responded.

As soon as Chi Yan finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared in front of Yang Wu, displaying all of Yang Wu's achievements in recent years.

Since Yang Wu left the Blood Luo Continent, he has completed nine cultivation missions, the lowest of which were all dangerous. In addition, he has gained some extra rewards, so Yang Wu's wealth is now quite astonishing.

Yang Wu remained calm as he looked at the content on the screen in front of him.

The first thing you'll see is the points you've earned.

After Yang Wu spent 47 points to purchase numerous cosmic life remnants to nurture his first clone, he never spent any more points.

At that time, Yang Wu had about 64 points remaining because he had completed the hidden quest in the Blood Luo World.

Yang Wu earned a total of 9.5 points from the six dangerous missions within the Primal Secret Realm.

In the Death Star mission world, Yang Wu earned 73 points. Of these, 30 points were mission rewards, and the remaining 43 points came from the proceeds of selling Origin Crystals and Origin Gems.

Within the Virtual Universe Corporation, these primordial gems, like the Blood Crystal, are classified as restricted items and cannot be distributed outside the company.

Therefore, apart from keeping some Origin Gems for himself and Qian Shui of the Primordial Secret Realm, Yang Wu sold the rest to the Virtual Universe Company.

In the next quest, the Lost Galaxy, Yang Wu earned 500,000 points.

In the Purgatory Abyss mission world, Yang Wu earned a full one million points.

In addition, Yang Wu successfully crossed three levels of the Sky Bridge, earning nearly 36 points, bringing his remaining points to a staggering 332.5 million.

Such a large accumulation of points is probably something even the domain lords who have cultivated for tens of thousands of years in the Primordial Secret Realm could not achieve.

If one were the domain lord of the Primordial Region, they probably wouldn't have been able to accumulate so many points.

Of course, compared to points, Yang Wu's gains in other treasures were also astonishing.

Because he had no other income, Yang Wu's savings in the Universe First Bank were reduced to just over three thousand Hunyuan units.

However, the many treasures that Yang Wu obtained in the cultivation mission world were of immeasurable value.

The six purple flames obtained from 'Purple Flame Island' are worth 30 points, but since they can be given away, Yang Wu naturally wanted to keep them.

Furthermore, the various secret techniques in the Flying Immortal World, worth millions of points, and the Sky-Stepping Boots obtained from the Nine-Bend Star, are also unsellable.

The precious material obtained from the Death Star is worth three million Chaos Units.

The various precious materials obtained in the Misty Galaxy are worth five million Chaos Units.

"It seems that, apart from some unsellable treasures and secret techniques, all I have left to use is a little over 11 million points!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Although exchanging Primordial Units for Points is a privilege only immortal gods possess, Yang Wu had already become the disciple of the Dragon Lord, so his current privileges within the Virtual Universe Company were naturally astonishing, probably comparable to those of a peak King-level expert.

Eleven million points!

Such astonishing wealth even surpassed that of Yang Wu's teacher, Jin Guanghou.

After all, Marquis Jin Guang only broke through to immortality tens of thousands of years ago, so he probably didn't accumulate much wealth.

Unfortunately, even such astonishing wealth was nothing special in Yang Wu's eyes.

"Over ten million points are enough for other purposes, but it would be very difficult to buy 'Time and Space Notes' and 'Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body'!" Yang Wu frowned inwardly.

Based on Yang Wu's current understanding of the laws, if he only buys the first four volumes of "Time and Space Essays," he will probably only be able to use them for a few years.

Moreover, Yang Wu had already mastered the second level of "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body," so naturally he wanted to buy the third level as well.

However, the first five volumes of "Time and Space Notes" and the first three levels of "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body" alone are each worth ten million points.

Yang Wu simply couldn't afford to buy them all, let alone the other treasures he planned to acquire.

In fact, Yang Wu's current predicament is also related to the time simulator in his mind.

If it weren't for Yang Wu's astonishing progress in the last two simulations, he probably wouldn't need to buy the follow-up secret techniques for these two sets of secret methods at all.

Especially the "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body," even a peerless genius of the universe level would need at least a thousand years to master the first level.

Such a long period of time is enough for them to slowly accumulate wealth.

But what about Yang Wu? After only a few simulations, he directly mastered the second level!

This has directly led to his current financial difficulties!

"It seems I really need to get the Locke Divine Water from Pansy as soon as possible!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Once Yang Wu obtains the Locke Divine Water from Pansy, all his wealth-related problems at the Domain Lord stage will be resolved.

Thinking of this, Yang Wu felt a sudden sense of clarity.

"So, what I need most right now is an F-class spaceship!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Nowadays, whether it's buying secret manuals or evolving life forms, Yang Wu's wealth is stretched thin.

Having a super-fast spaceship is essential for him at this stage, as it will allow him to spend less time on his journey.

"Then it's decided!" Yang Wu didn't hesitate any longer. "If it's just about buying an F-class spaceship, I'll have a lot more resources at my disposal!"

With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately contacted the acquisition personnel within the Virtual Universe Company to sell all the precious materials he had obtained in the mission world.

After half a day of verification and review, Yang Wu's account within the Virtual Universe Company gained an additional 814 million points.

Because Yang Wu now has extremely high authority, the proceeds from selling the materials were actually higher than Chi Yan had estimated.

Yang Wu sat at his desk, constantly browsing the virtual screen in front of him.

The treasure vault contained a dazzling array of spaceships; there was nothing the Virtual Universe Company couldn't make, only things he couldn't imagine.

In the end, Yang Wu spent seven million points to customize two F-class spaceships.

The reason Yang Wu ordered two spaceships was because he considered the promise he made to his senior brother, Latte, when he left the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Yang Wu had said before that he would send the other party an F-class spaceship.

Of course, if Yang Wu didn't have enough money, he might have to wait a while, but now that he was about to obtain Locke Divine Water worth billions of Mixed Yuan Units, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with an F-class spaceship.

Consider it a wedding gift for my senior, Latte.

Of course, less than two hundred years have passed, and the relationship between Latte and the domain lord, Qinia, has not progressed to that point yet.

Taking into account Latte's preferences, Yang Wu directly chose a saucer-shaped spaceship for her, made entirely of red mixed copper mother material.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, chose a dark, triangular spaceship built from the Guiyan Stone Mother.

In addition, Yang Wu spent 900,000 points to purchase various treasures that were enough to perfectly evolve the Brahma Flower to the peak of the Realm Lord level.

As for Kashgar, it would take nearly ten million points to perfectly evolve to the Realm Lord stage, so Yang Wu could only wait until he obtained the Locke Divine Water before purchasing the relevant treasures.

To Yang Wu's surprise, just as he was purchasing spaceships and various precious materials, Long Yu Wang, a subordinate of the Nine Swords Venerable, suddenly appeared in his manor in the Primitive Zone.

"Yang Wu!"

A gentle voice echoed throughout the entire manor, reaching everyone's ears. Yang Wu, who was in his study, immediately flew out.

"Hmm?" Yang Wu looked up and saw Long Yu Wang, dressed in azure armor, walking in carrying a silver-white briefcase in one hand.

"King Longyu!" Yang Wu bowed slightly.

"Yang Wu!" King Longyu raised the briefcase in his hand and said softly, "His Majesty has instructed me to bring you a gift!"

"A gift?" Yang Wu couldn't help but wonder.

"Let's talk about this in the study!" King Longyu said with a smile.

……

Inside the study.

Longyu Wang handed the briefcase directly to Yang Wu and gestured for Yang Wu to open it.

Yang Wu placed the suitcase on the desk, gently opened it, and exclaimed in surprise, "A collection of essays on time and space?"

Inside the suitcase were five neatly stacked gold books, each about fifty centimeters long, forty centimeters wide, and of varying heights.

On the cover of each manual are four simple words in a universal language: "Time and Space Notes".

These four simple characters seem to encompass the entire universe.

Yang Wu had previously purchased the first three volumes of "Time and Space Essays," and immediately recognized these five secret manuals as the first five volumes of "Time and Space Essays."

"It is indeed 'Notes on Time and Space'!" King Longyu's voice was like the chirping of a hundred birds, bringing a sense of comfort to the listener: "The Venerable One was worried that you wouldn't have enough points to redeem 'Notes on Time and Space,' so he ordered me to deliver these first five volumes!"

"this……"

For a moment, Yang Wu was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

If it were an ordinary core member of a Primal Secret Realm universe, they probably wouldn't be able to buy the first five volumes of "Time and Space Notes." Even Yang Wu would need to spend most of his accumulated points to do so.

However, the Nine Swords Venerable directly ordered someone to send over the first five volumes of the secret techniques.

Although ten million points are nothing to the Nine Swords Venerable, they are extremely precious to Yang Wu, a mere domain lord.

Seeing Yang Wu's reaction, Longyu Wang nodded inwardly.

"Yang Wu has realized the Venerable One's high regard for him, and he has not failed the Venerable One's careful guidance all this time!" Longyu King thought to himself.

"Yang Wu, the Venerable One also instructed me to deliver a message to you!" King Longyu said softly.

Yang Wu looked at the other person.

"The Venerable One instructed you to cultivate diligently and strive to comprehend the fifth level of the Space-Time Manual as soon as possible!"

"This disciple will certainly strive to cultivate diligently!" Yang Wu said with utmost seriousness.

Upon hearing Yang Wu's assurance, Longyu Wang smiled and glanced at him before disappearing.

Looking at the manual in front of him, Yang Wu felt incredibly grateful, even though he was about to acquire a huge fortune.

"I will always remember this kindness from my teacher!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
