Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 327 The Past of the Flame Emperor

At the highest point of Thunder Island in the virtual universe, there are several palaces surrounded by endless chaotic energy.

Suddenly, a faint phantom appeared in front of the central hall and then went inside.

This phantom was none other than the Shadow Monarch, the head of the intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company. He was also the head of the internal intelligence department of Hongmeng, possessing the strength of a cosmic overlord.

The Shadow Monarch walked to the center of the hall and respectfully said, "Lord of Chaos City, the extraterrestrial battlefield army system has reported that Yang Wu, the Primordial Secret Realm Master, has killed a newly appointed Immortal God. Should we move him to a safer place for training?"

"Oh?" came the voice of the Chaos City Lord. "So you were able to kill a King-level Immortal so quickly?"

In the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, since Yang Wu was able to become a Black Warrior and had many treasures to assist him, he had a great chance of killing a newly crowned Immortal God at the World Lord level.

However, in his view, it would take at least a thousand years.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after the World Lord level qualification battle, Yang Wu's strength had already reached this level.

Soon, a figure in golden robes emerged from the endless chaotic energy; it was none other than the Lord of Chaos City.

The Lord of Chaos City gently touched the void, and a screen immediately appeared in front of him, displaying a battle video of Yang Wu's Yan God Clan avatar and the Crimson Feather King.

Strangely, even though the Shadow Monarch was standing right in front of the Chaos City Lord, he couldn't see anything displayed on the screen.

"Emperor Yan?"

The Shadow Monarch heard a surprised sound from the Chaos City Lord, followed by the Chaos City Lord's deep voice.

"Shadow, I already know about this!" the Chaos City Lord said calmly. "Alright, I'll handle this. You may leave now."

"Yes, Lord!" the Shadow Monarch replied respectfully, then respectfully withdrew from the hall.

"I never expected that Yang Wu would actually create a clone of the Yan God Clan, and be able to do it to this extent!" After watching the battle video of the Yan God Clan clone, the Chaos City Lord was indeed quite surprised.

With his keen eye, he was fully capable of observing Yang Wu's full strength through the combat video.

But that's precisely why he was even more surprised!

"Haha, I never expected Yang Wu to have given birth to a clone of the Yan God Clan! I just wonder if he has a chance to break through the limitation of a hundred times the life gene level like the Yan Emperor did back then?" The Chaos City Lord thought to himself.

At the same time, the Lord of Chaos City also began to recall some things from countless years ago.

Countless ages ago, the Yan God Clan was a branch of the human race, and their strength was quite formidable, even surpassing that of the Manka Star People and the Desolate God Clan.

Later, with the appearance of the Yan Emperor, an unparalleled genius within the Yan God Clan, everything changed.

From the very beginning of his cultivation, Emperor Yan displayed an astonishing talent.

At that time, the human race did not have the systematic approach to cultivating geniuses that it does now, so the Yan Emperor had always cultivated under the tutelage of the Yan God Clan.

After Yan Di displayed astonishing talent, some powerful figures among the human race wanted to take him as a disciple, but he refused.

Emperor Yan is exceptionally talented, displaying astonishing combat power at the Realm Lord, Immortal, and even Venerable levels.

In that era, Emperor Yan was the most amazing genius in the entire universe.

Countless powerful beings in the universe also discovered that Emperor Yan had actually broken the cosmic operating law limit, which was previously the highest level of life genes, reaching a hundred times, and had not been punished in any way.

Unfortunately, even the Yan Emperor's amazing talent will eventually run out.

Moreover, after breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, other powerful individuals will no longer be limited by the hundredfold increase in life gene level and will be able to continue to improve their life genes.

In this way, even if they don't reach the level of Emperor Yan, the gap is getting smaller and smaller.

Therefore, after Yan Di became a master of the universe, he gradually faded into obscurity.

Among the many universe lords of the human race at that time, his strength was barely considered average, and this was only because he possessed an extremely powerful treasure weapon, the 'Flame God Halberd'.

However, as the Yan Emperor's strength grew, so did his selfish desires, to the point that he even attacked his own clansmen for treasures.

Although the human race at that time had a high tolerance for powerful beings like the Lord of the Universe, they could not accept such a thing.

Therefore, many powerful figures of the human race discussed the matter and decided to make Emperor Yan apologize and accept certain punishments.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yan showed no remorse and led the Yan God Clan to break away from the human race.

This incident caused the human race to lose face, so many powerful humans united and decided to kill the Flame Emperor.

Unfortunately, at the crucial final moment, another extremely ancient and powerful being from the universe, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, suddenly appeared and saved the opponent!

Even now, many powerful figures among the human race still dislike Emperor Yan.

Unfortunately, he is a solitary, supreme being in the universe, and the human race simply cannot afford to offend him.

Furthermore, since the Yan Emperor's strength has not increased much over the endless years, the human race no longer takes him seriously.

But seeing Yang Wu's Yan God Clan clone display such astonishing strength this time, the Chaos City Lord recalled the Yan Emperor from back then.

"I still need to talk to Long Xing about this!" the Chaos City Lord thought to himself.

Immediately, the Lord of Chaos City vanished from the palace in a flash.

……

Not far from the Chaos City Lord's Temple, there are several ancient temples with different appearances.

Outside a palace that looked like a soaring dragon, the figure of the Chaos City Lord suddenly appeared.

"Dragon's Flight!"

The Lord of Chaos City stood outside the palace, but his voice traveled directly into the palace, echoing continuously.

"Haha!" A deep voice echoed from inside the hall: "Chaos, haven't you been adventuring on the spaceship lately? What brings you here? Come in!"

Before the sound had even faded completely, the palace gates opened immediately, and the chaotic airflow inside the palace automatically separated, revealing a passageway.

At the same time, a burly figure exuding an aura of dominance stepped forward to greet them; it was none other than the Lord of Dragon Journey.

The Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Dragon Walk walked together to the throne in the hall and sat down. He then said, "I have come here for your disciple, Yang Wu."

"Oh?" The Dragon Lord's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Has my disciple done something unexpected again?"

"Just recently, Yang Wu killed a newly appointed Immortal God on the battlefield outside the realm!" the Chaos City Lord said calmly.

"I see!" The Lord of Dragons nodded slowly, but there was no surprise on his face.

Because, in the past period of time, Yang Wu has gradually revealed his understanding of the laws and his self-created secret techniques to the Lord of Dragons.

Although the Dragon Lord was also shocked by Yang Wu's rapid progress, given the strength Yang Wu displayed, if his life gene were to increase a hundredfold, killing a newly crowned immortal god would still be no problem.

Seeing the Dragon Lord's expression, the Chaos City Lord smiled and said, "You should see for yourself!"

Immediately, the Lord of Chaos waved his hand, and the battle video of the Flame God Clan's clone and the Crimson Feather King reappeared in mid-air.

"This is... Yang Wu's Fiery God Clan clone?" Dragon Lord exclaimed in surprise.

"Exactly!" replied the Lord of Chaos City.

"I thought Yang Wu would use the Beast God's blood on his main body, but I didn't expect him to have his clone use it!"

The Lord of Dragons chuckled and said, "However, this will make it even harder for the other three major clans to guess Yang Wu's identity!"

The Chaos City Lord nodded, then asked, "Long Xing, don't you think this avatar of the Flame God Clan looks a lot like someone?"

The Lord of Dragons glanced at the video again, then asked, "Chaos, are you referring to Emperor Yan?"

"That's right!" said the Chaos City Lord. "The Yan God Clan was born from that Mountain-Sitting Guest. Although we haven't discovered anything particularly miraculous, the Yan Emperor broke through the limitation of a hundred times the life gene level before breaking through to the Universe Lord level, which must be related to the Mountain-Sitting Guest!"

"Do you think it's possible for Yang Wu to break through the limitation of a hundredfold increase in life force, just like the Yan Emperor did?"

Lord of Chaos City, Lord of Dragons... these powerful beings who stand at the pinnacle of the universe have incredibly high standards.

For them, even if Yang Wu really broke the limit of a hundred times the life gene, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, once you reach the stage of the Lord of the Universe, you can continue to improve the level of life genes. As long as there are enough resources, it is possible to even raise the life genes to ten thousand times that of ordinary life in the universe!

What they value is a method that can break through the limitations.

If we had this method, it might be possible to allow those with super bloodlines in the human race to break through the limitations of a hundred times the life force.

This would greatly enhance the human race's mid-range combat capabilities.

"I don't know either!" The Lord of Dragons shook his head, then said, "We still need to observe this matter carefully!"

"Haha..." The Chaos City Lord laughed and said, "Since it's Yang Wu's matter, it's naturally up to you, his teacher, to handle. I won't worry about it!"

"Okay!" The Lord of Dragons nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"I'm leaving!" The Lord of Chaos City stood up and then vanished into thin air.

……

Inside the palace, the Lord of Dragons sat on the throne, while the Lord of Chaos City had long since left.

"Since heading to the extraterritorial battlefield, Yang Wu's rate of progress has been comparable to that of the original ancestor back then!"

The Lord of Dragons thought to himself, "Perhaps, in the future, a new strongest being in the universe will emerge from among my human race!"

As one of the oldest cosmic rulers among the human race, the Dragon Lord is well aware of just how terrifying the original ancestor was.

If Yang Wu can continue to cultivate at his current rate of progress, even if he doesn't reach the level of the Primordial Ancestor, he still has a great chance of breaking through to the level of the strongest in the universe.

"This is just speculation!"

"Let's see how far my disciple can go!" the Dragon Lord sighed softly.

……

Above the Yanji Continent. In the control room of an F-class spaceship.

While counting the spoils from killing the Crimson Feather King, Yang Wu ordered Crimson Flame to continue searching for targets.

"Haha!" Yang Wu was overjoyed after counting his spoils, laughing and exclaiming, "The resources of a King-level expert are truly abundant! The resources left behind by the Crimson Feather King are worth a full two hundred million Chaos Units!"

In fact, the total wealth of a typical newly appointed immortal god is generally around several hundred million Chaos Units.

As for powerful figures like the Crimson Feather King who frequently venture into battlefields beyond the realms, their wealth would only be greater.

However, wealth is wealth, and spoils of war are spoils of war.

Whether it's savings or resources he doesn't carry with him, Yang Wu can't obtain them, so his gains will naturally be much smaller.

"If we add the one hundred trillion military merits I gained from killing the Crimson Feather King, that's twelve billion points!" Yang Wu thought with delight.

His year-long rampage across the Yanji Continent couldn't compare to the gains he made this time!

"Red Flame, continue searching for early-stage King-level experts, preferably those with high military merits like King Red Feather!" Yang Wu ordered directly.

"Yes, Master!"

……

Two months later.

"I've been waiting here for over a month, and I still haven't found any trace of the Skeleton King. It seems he's already given up on this resting spot!" Yang Wu shook his head and sighed.

After killing the Crimson Feather King, he quickly obtained the coordinates of a newly appointed king through the army's bounty system.

More than a month has passed since he arrived here, but he still hasn't found any trace of the other party.

Fortunately, during the waiting time, Yang Wu would also hunt down the Marquis-level squads that appeared within the range of the large detector, so it wasn't too much of a loss.

"Forget it!" By this time, Yang Wu had already cleared out most of the surrounding Marquis-level squads, so he naturally didn't want to wait any longer.

"Red Flame, proceed to the next target location!"

Whoosh!

The blood-red triangular F-class spaceship swiftly broke through the sky and disappeared.

"I hope I can meet the King of Immortality this time!" Yang Wu thought to himself with anticipation.

……

three days later.

"Master, we've been traveling for far too long. That immortal king has already left!"

Chi Yan's voice echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

The lairs of most King-level experts are extremely well-hidden, and very few are ever discovered. Therefore, Chi Yan chose this place to fight a King-level Immortal.

Unfortunately, Yang Wu wasted too much time on the way, and by the time he arrived, the other party had already disappeared!

"I didn't run into her again!" Yang Wu was very frustrated.

Yang Wu's confidence was greatly boosted by killing the Crimson Feather King in his first battle, but his two consecutive failed attempts left him quite disappointed.

If you can't beat them, that's one thing, but constantly breaking through the air is undoubtedly a waste of time.

"Master, if you want to reach the coordinates as quickly as possible, why don't you find a peak-level King-ranked expert with teleportation abilities to cooperate with?"

Chi Yan reminded him, "Those peak-level King-ranking experts, without burning their immortal divine power, can only kill Marquis-ranking immortals. Their earning speed is far slower than yours, Master!"

"If the master is willing to share some of the spoils with the other party, there will surely be someone willing to cooperate with the master."

"With the help of a powerful individual possessing teleportation abilities, Master, you can appear anywhere on the Yanji Continent. As soon as you receive a message, you can appear immediately; those alien kings and immortals won't be able to escape!"

"This..." Yang Wu was slightly taken aback, then became very happy.

"Haha, that's a good idea!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

Immediately, Yang Wu began to search for information on powerful individuals with teleportation abilities within the human faction on the Yanji Continent.

After a while.

"On this Yanji Continent, there are five powerful individuals in the human camp who possess the ability to teleport. Among them, King Yechen and King Chawu are both human, and another person is also a member of the Hong Alliance. Only King Xinghuan and King Cuixin are alien powerhouses belonging to the human camp!"

"However, it's quite a coincidence. There are only three King-level experts belonging to the human race on the Yanji Continent, and two of them have the ability to teleport." Yang Wu kept thinking to himself.

"The task of killing a newly ascended Immortal God requires the avatar of the Yan God Clan to handle. If we cooperate with the strong among the human race, there might be some conflicts. It's better to cooperate with the strong of other races. After all, the Yan God Clan can now be considered an other race as well."

"That leaves only Star Illusion King and Heartbreaker King!"

Soon, Yang Wu decided to seek cooperation with Star Illusion King.

After all, the two were roughly equal in strength, but Star Illusion King was much more pleasing to the eye.
