Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 355 A New Clone Choice

Just after Yang Wu left, the space trembled slightly, and a huge figure appeared out of thin air. It was none other than the Thorn King, who had rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

The space had been gradually recovering, indicating that the battle had ended some time ago.

"Another piece of trash!" Thorn King cursed in a deep voice.

What he didn't expect was that the Purple Bell King possessed a great treasure, yet he was killed so quickly by the God of Slaughter.

He had arrived at top speed, but he was still a step too late!

……

On the other side, Yang Wu had already teleported directly to a place above the ocean.

Looking down at the vast ocean, Yang Wu felt a little surprised.

"I've long heard that there's a vast, boundless ocean at the center of the Yanji Continent, and now I've finally seen it!"

"However, why would the native inhabitants of the Yanji Continent build such a massive ocean in the center of the continent? Aren't they afraid that a fierce battle would cause the entire Yanji Continent to collapse?"

"Forget about it, let's go now!"

In fact, not long after Yang Wu defeated the Xuanmu King, he had already received a large number of emails.

However, he was worried that things might change if he delayed in dealing with the Purple Bell King, so he decided to temporarily shut down the virtual universe reception and deal with these matters after obtaining the Purple Bell.

Indeed, that was the case. If Yang Wu had arrived a little later, the Purple Bell King would certainly not have been there anymore.

If we want to find them again, it will be much more troublesome! Even if there is a bounty, the Purple Bell King might find out and flee the outer battlefield.

Now that things are over, Yang Wu naturally wants to connect to the virtual universe as soon as possible.

With this thought in mind, Yang Wu connected his consciousness directly to the virtual universe.

……

Virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain primitive area, Yang Wu's manor.

Inside the study.

"Hmm?" As soon as Yang Wu connected to the virtual universe, he found a bunch of emails.

"So many emails?" Yang Wu asked, slightly surprised.

If it were just a matter for the Earthling himself, that would be one thing, but the Flame God Clan avatar probably doesn't have many friends!

Looking at the densely packed email list, Yang Wu casually flipped through it and discovered that most of them were congratulatory emails sent through the military system.

Although those people did not know that the God of Slaughter was Yang Wu, the extraterritorial battlefield army system still sent these emails directly to Yang Wu.

The email was filled with enthusiasm, and even more so with a degree of respect than usual.

There was even an email from the Bloodblade Squad, filled with expressions of gratitude for being saved and congratulations to the Flame God Clan's avatar for becoming famous throughout the universe.

After casually replying to some emails, Yang Wu looked at the last two emails.

These two emails came from his two teachers, the Lord of Dragons and the Nine Swords Venerable.

The content of "Lord of Dragons" is very simple, consisting of only one sentence.

"Come to me immediately."

The email from the Nine Swords Venerable was more casual. He first praised Yang Wu and then told Yang Wu to come see him again when he had some free time.

"Let's go see Master Dragon first!"

Whoosh!

Yang Wu teleported directly to the palace of the Dragon Lord at the top of Thunder Island.

……

At the summit of Thunder Island, clouds and mist swirled, and chaotic air currents permeated the air.

Inside the temple of the Lord of Dragons.

call!

Yang Wu's figure appeared out of thin air in the hall of the temple. Looking up, he saw a burly figure in front of him wearing ancient crimson armor, constantly emanating a vast and boundless aura.

Recalling how he was just a minor universe-level being when he first met the Lord of Dragons, but now possessed extremely powerful strength, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If the Lord of Dragons had not bestowed upon him the Star Pearl, how could he have conceived the Flame God Clan clone and thus possess the invincible strength he has now as a King?

"Teacher!" Yang Wu immediately bowed respectfully.

"What a formidable God-Slaying King!" The Dragon Lord looked at Yang Wu with immense satisfaction and asked directly, "Yang Wu, your Flame God Clan avatar was able to achieve invincible King-level strength during your Realm Lord era. Has it already broken the limitation of a hundredfold increase in life gene level?"

Countless ages ago, the Flame Emperor had broken the limit of a hundred times the life gene level when he was at the Realm Lord level, so the Dragon Lord was no stranger to this.

"Teacher, you flatter me!" Yang Wu said respectfully. "I only achieved this breakthrough by chance and luck!"

"Luck and opportunity are also part of strength," the Dragon Lord sighed. "In this vast universe, which top-tier being who becomes a powerful figure hasn't had some special opportunities?"

"I thought it would take you a long time to get to where you are now, but how long has it been? You always manage to do something surprising!"

"However..." the Lord of Dragons suddenly asked, "Since you were able to break the limitation of a hundredfold life gene using your Yan God Clan clone, have you learned about the relationship between the Yan God Clan King Armor and the Yan God Clan lineage?"

The Dragon Lord's voice was very gentle. His incredibly long life had long made him realize that many geniuses had secrets, and most of the time those geniuses were unwilling to reveal them.

Everyone has selfish motives.

When it comes to sensitive matters, even inquiries require tact; otherwise, they may provoke the genius's resentment. After all, the more talented a person is, the more proud they are, and they certainly don't want to be pressured.

Yang Wu was slightly taken aback; of course, he was aware of these things.

The treasures such as the King Armor and the General Armor were all created by consuming resources to nurture the ultimate treasure, the "Calamity Armor." The reason why the Yan God Clan can use these armors is because the Yan God Clan was guided and modified by the God King, Zuo Shan Ke. Their genetic evolution path is closely related to the "Nine Calamities Secret Manual." The "Calamity Armor" was also created by Zuo Shan Ke, so it naturally has this special effect.

But Yang Wu didn't know how to bring this up.

"This disciple is also unaware of this matter. It is only natural that the Yan God Clan's clone can use the King Armor, but the main body cannot!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

After hearing Yang Wu's answer, the Lord of Dragons didn't ask any further questions and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore!"

The Lord of Dragons was only trying his luck; he didn't really believe that Yang Wu could understand the secret behind it.

After all, many powerful clans have been studying this matter for countless years, but still have no results.

The armor, general's armor, and king's armor of the Yan God Clan seemed to have been custom-made for them by a super being.

"However..." the Lord of Dragons continued, "Yang Wu, you must not expose your relationship with the God of Slaughter, or it will definitely cause a lot of trouble!"

Back when Emperor Yan was in his World Lord and Immortal stages, he displayed astonishing combat power, which caused quite a stir in the universe.

The fact that the human race even had a cosmic ruler appear to protect the other side shows that they value the other side enough.

Unexpectedly, the Yan Emperor turned out to be an ingrate. After robbing the treasures of a powerful member of his own race, he was only slightly punished before leading the Yan God Clan to break away from the human race. This incident became a laughing stock among the human race.

Yang Wu's talent and comprehension are now far superior to those of the Yan Emperor back then. Once exposed, it will surely cause an even greater uproar.

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

In his heart, not only should the identity of the God of Slaughter be separated from himself, but even the identity of his true self, the God of Might, should not be associated with him.

If it were just a simulation, that would be fine, but he didn't want to experience Luo Feng's repeated assassination attempts in the original story in real life.

"Hmm!" The Lord of Dragons nodded and continued, "Your comprehension of the laws is now high enough; you've even created an ultimate secret technique. Breaking through to Immortality shouldn't be too difficult in a while!"

"However, now that you've fused with the Star Pearl, have you considered how to nurture your remaining two clones?"

"Master, your disciple wishes to cultivate an avatar of the World Tree!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

Besides the correct answer "Nether Sea Clone", Yang Wu had been considering the other clone slot for a long time, and finally decided to nurture a World Tree clone.

After all, his own talent in the law of time is not particularly high, while the World Tree has strong talent in the two superior laws of time and space. Its divine body is enormous and it can make the divine kingdom more stable, making it an excellent choice.

Even Luo Feng in the original work initially intended to create a clone of the World Tree, but after the creation failed, he coincidentally created the Blood Sea clone.

"The World Tree?" The Lord of Dragons nodded slightly and said, "That's a good choice!"

"The World Tree is incredibly vast, and it will also be helpful in your understanding of the two fundamental laws of time and space!"

"Furthermore, as a plant-based life form, the World Tree's speed of absorbing energy to restore its divine body after you break through to immortality is astonishing!"

"That's what I think too, but I haven't seen any World Tree genetic material for sale in the company's treasury or within the Hong Alliance!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

The faster the clone is formed, the better. If possible, Yang Wu would like to form a World Tree clone before heading to the Ancestral God Sect.

As for the 'Blood Sea Avatar,' we'll have to go to the Ancestral God Sect's secret realm.

After all, even a peak existence like the Chaos City Lord was unaware of the existence of the Blood Sea, a realm lord-level being. Yang Wu simply could not obtain the genetic material of the Blood Sea life form from the outside world.

"Hahaha!" the Dragon Lord laughed, "The World Tree is extremely rare throughout the entire universe, existing only within the Ancestral God Cult!"

"Furthermore, the strongest World Tree possesses the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord. Although the World Tree's life gene level is very high, there are quite a few life forms in the universe capable of nurturing it into clones. The strongest World Tree naturally allows its life gene to be easily disseminated!"

"However, do you remember the super genius I told you about who also fused with the Star Bead?" the Dragon Lord asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu's heart stirred slightly.

When he chose to fuse with the Star Pearl, the Lord of Dragons had said something like that.

Star Beads are an extremely special treasure in the universe, and their numbers are incredibly rare! Over countless ages, a total of 17 super geniuses of the human race have fused with Star Beads, but in the end, only one person successfully broke through the shackles and achieved immortality.

"Could it be..." Yang Wu had a guess in his mind.

"You guessed right!" The Lord of Dragons said with a smile, "That genius back then also nurtured a World Tree avatar during his time as a World Lord."

"Later, after countless years of cultivation, he also made a great name for himself in the vast universe. That person is one of the three top universe overlords of our human race today, Venerable Ancestral Tree."

"The Ancestral Tree Venerable of the Giant Axe Arena? I never imagined he would nurture a World Tree avatar!"

Speaking of which, Yang Wu was already quite familiar with the other two of the three top cosmic overlords of the human race, but he had not paid much attention to the Ancestral Tree Venerable.

Among them, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace also gave Yang Wu a fortuitous opportunity, allowing him to stay in a cultivation treasure land within the Heavenly Eclipse Palace for a period of time. Yang Wu is still cultivating the secret method created by the Star Prison Demon Lord based on the Path of the Beast God.

"When the Ancestral Tree Venerable created the World Tree avatar, he might still have some surplus World Tree genetic material. You could try going to him!"

The Lord of Dragons calmly said, "If he doesn't have it either, you'll have to try your luck in the Ancestral Mystic Realm!"

"However, with your current strength, the outer battlefield poses no challenge to you anymore. You can head to the Ancestral God Sect's secret realm instead!"

"You cultivate the Path of the Beast God; I imagine you can make even greater progress within the Ancestral God Sect!"

In the outer battlefield, Xuanmu King was already among the strongest, and since Yang Wu was able to defeat him, the outer battlefield naturally no longer posed a challenge to Yang Wu.

In fact, the truly invincible kings are all seeking opportunities to advance to the Venerable level; very few of them would venture into the outer battlefields.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

If the Ancestral Tree Venerable really has extra World Tree genetic material, then it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Go!" The Lord of Dragons waved his hand, then turned and stepped into the depths of the chaotic energy.

"Yes!" Yang Wu bowed respectfully before turning and leaving.

……

Halfway up Thunder Island, inside the palace of the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu greeted the tall figure in the blue battle robe in front of him respectfully.

"Haha, the infamous God-Slaying King has arrived!" Upon seeing Yang Wu, the Nine Swords Venerable rarely cracked a joke, then said, "Follow me!"

After saying that, the Nine Swords Venerable walked directly out of the palace, and Yang Wu quickly followed behind him.

Before long, the two arrived at the edge of the mountainside of Thunder Island and stood on a boulder to look down.

At the foot of Thunder Island, palaces are densely packed, with countless figures moving about among them.

"All the immortal gods within my Virtual Universe Company reside on this Thunder Island!"

The Nine Swords Venerable sighed softly, "At the foot of the mountain are those immortal gods, numbering in the millions. As for the King-level immortals, there are far fewer, only tens of thousands!"

"And halfway up the mountain, reside cosmic venerables like your master. My Virtual Universe Company has the most cosmic venerables among the five major powers, yet we still have fewer than two thousand!"

"As for the summit of Thunder Island, it is inhabited by great cosmic lords and some extremely powerful cosmic overlords, whose numbers are even fewer!"

Yang Wu nodded seriously.

"With your current strength, you would rank among the top even among the countless immortal gods below. Only a few, such as True Evolution King and Heavenly Feather King, could rival you!"

"But..." the Nine Swords Venerable said earnestly, "Your teacher hopes you will never become arrogant or complacent. I have been waiting for the day you go to live on the mountaintop!"

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu felt a surge of emotion.

He hadn't expected to be lectured so soon after meeting the Nine Swords Venerable, but this only showed how much the Nine Swords Venerable cared for him.

Seeing Yang Wu's serious attitude, the Nine Swords Venerable was very satisfied.

He originally had complete confidence in Yang Wu.

However, it was unheard of for a Realm Lord to possess the invincible strength to be crowned King! This made him worry that his exceptionally talented disciple might become complacent, which led to the scene just now.

"Haha, there's not much I can do to help you in the future, I can only give you a little reminder!"

The Nine Swords Venerable couldn't help but sigh, "At your current cultivation speed, it won't be long before your strength catches up with mine!"

Afterwards, the master and disciple chatted for a while longer before Yang Wu took his leave.
