Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 272 Going Home

These powerful immortals from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom rarely had the opportunity to gather together, and they even witnessed the legendary genius Yang Wu.

Therefore, Yang Wu's welcoming banquet lasted for almost a whole day before it came to a successful conclusion.

During the banquet, all the immortal deities who came to attend presented their gifts, each of which was extremely valuable.

Even if other domain lord-level geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm obtained the position of Inspector Envoy, they would only be slightly more valued in the eyes of these immortal gods.

Getting them to send gifts is completely impossible.

But Yang Wu is different!

After Hei Yanhou and the other two introduced Yang Wu to everyone, all the immortal gods who came to the welcoming banquet learned about Yang Wu's amazing talent.

Therefore, these people knew very well that as long as Yang Wu did not perish, they would probably not even be qualified to give gifts in the future.

Yang Wu's strength is not yet particularly great, and he needs a lot of resources to grow. So they naturally want to take this opportunity to give him some gifts and build goodwill.

The immortal gods who were able to attend this banquet either possessed astonishing strength or had powerful backgrounds; in short, they all had incredible wealth.

Therefore, the gifts they gave were extremely valuable, ranging from nearly ten thousand Hunyuan units to tens of thousands of Hunyuan units.

After a day of banquets, Yang Wu received gifts worth nearly ten million Hunyuan units.

If Yang Wu hadn't obtained the Locke Divine Water, worth billions of Chaos Units, from Pan Xi, he might have actually accepted these gifts.

But Yang Wu no longer lacks these nearly ten million mixed units, so naturally he doesn't want to get involved with too many people.

Therefore, before the banquet ended, after thanking everyone for their kindness, Yang Wu ordered Field, the leader of the guards, to return all the gifts.

After the banquet ended, the high-ranking officials of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom left one by one in their spaceships, somewhat disappointed.

……

For some time afterward, Yang Wu remained on Azure Dragon Star.

After the welcoming banquet, Yang Wu officially took office.

After seeing Yang Wu's focused attitude on cultivation, the three men, including Hei Yanhou, felt much more at ease and treated him with even more enthusiasm and kindness.

In fact, Yang Wu had no intention of using his position as a special envoy to interfere in the affairs of the Qianwu branch.

As the saying goes, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish."

From a small planetary lord to cosmic rulers who traverse the universe, all beings with some power and status will inevitably have some selfish desires.

Moreover, even if these people can control themselves, they can't control their family, friends, and subordinates.

Even Yang Wu himself, didn't he use his power and status to help the Earthlings and the Golden Light Marquis's territory gain a lot of benefits?

Moreover, even within the Virtual Universe Company, they turn a blind eye to such things; as long as one doesn't blatantly violate the rules, there's no problem.

Therefore, Yang Wu never thought of exercising his supervisory privileges. As long as these three giants did not do anything too outrageous during his tenure, Yang Wu would not care at all.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Wu also sold some of his Locke Divine Water through the Qianwu branch. Although the price was lower than at the auction, it was still acceptable.

In the end, Yang Wu received 100 million Chaos Units in cash, which was comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary newly appointed Immortal King.

After acquiring a large amount of wealth, Yang Wu immediately exchanged the Hunyuan Units for points within the Virtual Universe Company.

Generally speaking, even members of the original secret realm can only have this right after reaching the realm master stage.

As for the core geniuses of the other three secret realms, they need to break through to the Immortal realm before they can use the Primordial Chaos Units to exchange for points.

However, as a disciple of the Dragon Lord, Yang Wu had even crossed the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic-level peak, so his authority within the Virtual Universe Company was extremely high, even comparable to that of a King-level Immortal.

After gaining a large number of points, Yang Wu immediately spent 20 million points to purchase the first three levels of "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body" and many precious materials needed to help Life Kash perfectly evolve to the peak of the Realm Lord.

Apart from that, Yang Wu had no other expenses.

Yang Wu waited on Canglong Star for half a month and finally settled all the matters related to selling Locke Divine Water and purchasing various precious treasures.

After absorbing countless precious materials into Kashgar, Yang Wu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"If I could cultivate an immortal-level support life form, my strength would increase considerably!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "However, my initial approach of perfect evolution when cultivating auxiliary life forms was flawed!"

Just like the Moyun Vine that Luo Feng used at the beginning of the original work, it had 216 main vines when it was cultivated to the peak of the Realm Lord level. The resources spent were about 200,000 Chaos Units. When it broke through to the Immortal level, it spent 15 billion points, which directly gave the Moyun Vine the strength of the peak of the Marquis level.

However, it took Luo Feng 80 billion points to upgrade his Cloud Vine from the peak of the Marquis level to the initial level of the King level.

If one wants to advance from the initial level of King to the advanced level of King, it would probably require nearly 100 billion points.

However, if the Moyun Vine were to undergo a perfect evolution from the very beginning, spending over 10 billion points, it would allow the Moyun Vine to break through to immortality and possess the strength of a high-level king.

It is evident that if these auxiliary life forms are weak in the Innate Mountain, the price they have to pay when they want to advance and improve later will be even more staggering.

Yang Wu had this in mind from the beginning, so even when his points were extremely limited, he chose to perfectly evolve his two support lives.

But now, Yang Wu realizes that his idea was wrong.

"My current wealth is probably comparable to some poorer peak-level King-rank experts. But even if I exhaust all my wealth, I probably still wouldn't be able to help the Brahma Flower, which has perfectly evolved to the peak of the World Lord realm, break through to Immortality, let alone assist the metal life form Kash!"

Yang Wu sighed inwardly, "What I need now isn't a perfectly evolved support life form, but rather a support life form that can possess the strength of a Marquis after breaking through to Immortality!"

The rarity of the Brahma Flower is similar to that of the Cloud Vine. Therefore, if a Brahma Flower that has perfectly evolved to the peak of the Realm Lord level wants to break through to the Immortal level, it will need to consume at least 127 billion points, and the success rate is only 40%.

As for the perfectly evolved auxiliary metal life form Kash, once it breaks through to immortality, it will reach the peak strength of a king. However, the resources required are even more astonishing, requiring a full 120 billion points, and the success rate is only 30%.

Yang Wu's current net worth is only 6 billion points, and this is the majority of the wealth he can acquire in the near future.

Even if Yang Wu manages to overcome the Domain Lord level Tongtian Mountain and break through to the Realm Lord level in the future, the reward will only be 30 billion points.

When Yang Wu reaches the peak of the Realm Lord level, he will need to purchase even more treasures, so it is impossible for him to spend all his wealth to cultivate an auxiliary life form now.

With this in mind, Yang Wu ordered two more auxiliary metal lifeforms, Kash, from the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company, intending to cultivate them, even though they were inherently weaker.

After completing all the plans, Yang Wu finally met with the three leaders of the Qianwu branch to say goodbye.

Afterwards, Yang Wu, along with his guards and the Jin Guanghou father and son, set off for the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

Latte planned to go to Rhine Star, firstly to continue his cultivation, and secondly because his beloved Domain Lord, Qinia, was still on patrol in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.

Yang Wu has been away from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for nearly two hundred years, but this period of time is insignificant in the vast universe that has gone through countless years.

Apart from the changes brought about by Yang Wu's talent and strength, the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom seem to have remained largely unchanged.

As for Marquis Jin Guang, he insisted on staying by Yang Wu's side to prevent any possible assassination attempt on Yang Wu by foreign tribes.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

In the dark universe.

Whoosh!

A black streak of light flew rapidly through the silent dark universe, reaching a speed of 50 times the speed of light.

Suddenly, the speed of the black streak of light began to decrease slowly.

Inside the spacecraft control room.

"Master, we have arrived at the dark universe coordinates corresponding to Earth. The spaceship will soon begin orbiting along a fixed trajectory." Chi Yan's voice suddenly rang in Yang Wu's mind.

At this moment, only Yang Wu, Jin Guanghou, and Field were in the spaceship control room.

"Yang Wu!" Marquis Jin Guang asked with a smile, "Your hometown is quite remarkable; someone even went so far as to conceal the dark universe coordinates of this region!"

"Your mastery of spatial laws is almost on par with mine!"

Hu Yanbo's strength is barely enough to be granted the title of Marquis, while Jin Guanghou is currently at the initial level of Marquis. Their attainments in spatial laws are indeed not much different.

"Teacher, these spatial coordinates were concealed by Huyan Bo, an immortal deity who barely attained the rank of Marquis!"

Yang Wu slowly said, "Hu Yanbo perished in my hometown. Speaking of which, I was able to successfully travel to the universe thanks to many opportunities left behind by Master Hu Yanbo!"

If Yang Wu hadn't become Hu Yanbo's disciple and gained a lot of wealth, he probably wouldn't have gone to Rhine Star, let alone become Jin Guanghou's disciple!

"Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star?" Marquis Jin Guang was slightly taken aback, then sighed, "So he has already perished, and he perished here!"

"Huyan Bo is quite an extraordinary person!"

Marquis Jin Guang couldn't help but exclaim, "Back then, I was at the peak of the Realm Lord level, and I had heard of him! A lone traveler was able to enslave several immortal gods, including even a Marquis-level immortal—it's truly unbelievable!"

"Yes, Teacher Huyanbo's attainments in the spiritual master lineage are indeed profound!" Yang Wu exclaimed in agreement.

……

In the endless starry sky of the solar system, accompanied by ripples in space, a dark, triangular spaceship appeared out of thin air.

The space travel was successful.

In the control room, Yang Wu also saw that familiar starry sky through the outdoor simulation: a blazing star surrounded by planets that kept rotating.

"Master, we're back!" Chi Yan's voice rang in Yang Wu's mind, filled with excitement.

Speaking of which, Earth can be considered the birthplace of the Crimson Flame.

However, when Yang Wu left, Chi Yan was just an AI, but now it has become a true intelligent life form.

If Crimson Flame could possess an evolutionary heart in the future, it would be no different from a true mechanical life form.

"Yes, I'm back!" Yang Wu took a deep breath, a complex look in his eyes.

At this moment, Yang Wu felt like a traveler who had been away from home for a long time. It was precisely because he had been away for so long that he felt the warmth of his hometown all the more.

This is Yang Wu's hometown, Yang Wu's roots.

After flying for less than a short while, Yang Wu spotted Mars not far from Earth.

By this time, Mars had been terraformed and was inhabited by many humans.

What was once a desolate land on Mars has now been transformed into a steel forest, filled with various high-tech mechanical devices, vast industrial parks, and military bases.

Between Earth and Mars, as well as some satellites, a large number of spaceships are constantly flying back and forth, creating a very bustling scene.

"The changes on Earth in less than two hundred years are truly remarkable!" Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim.

In the entire solar system, Mars is arguably the easiest planet to be terraformed.

……

What will Earth be like two hundred years from now?

Even before returning, Yang Wu had been thinking about this matter.

Long before Yang Wu left, the Earth had already undergone significant changes.

After countless King-level and Lord-level monsters were killed, Earth has long since resumed reconstruction.

By the time Yang Wu left, Earth had already returned to its former glory.

And now?

……

Soon, Yang Wu appeared on the streets of Yangzhou City.

As for Marquis Jin Guang and his guards, they had all entered the world ring to rest.

Yang Wu had just returned home, and they did not want to disturb his reunion with his family.

Of course, they can show up at any time if Yang Wu is in danger.

The auxiliary metal life form, Kashgar, transformed into a casual outfit, and Yang Wu walked quietly down the street.

It was autumn, and the withered yellow leaves were falling, creating a beautiful scene.

The air was very fresh, and there were evergreen plants everywhere. Stylish residential buildings stood on both sides of the wide street.

In a daze, it felt as if he were in a painting, which calmed Yang Wu's heart.

"The changes are too great." Yang Wu walked slowly down the street.

Young men and women dressed in training clothes and casual clothes walked down the street, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Master, the current lives of Earthlings are all thanks to powerful beings like you!" Chi Yan suddenly said.

"Yes!" Yang Wu exclaimed, "If it weren't for the relentless struggle of Earthlings, those monsters back then would have been enough to wipe out humanity!"

"Fortunately, all of that is in the past now, and life for Earthlings is getting better and better!"
