Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 361 The Method to Obtain a Clone

Yang Wu and the Nine Swords Venerable chatted casually as they flew off in one direction.

Before long, Yang Wu and his companion arrived at an extremely majestic mountain range.

This is an incredibly vast mountain range spanning several light-years, comparable to the Star Tower in the extraterrestrial battlefield.

However, the entire mountain range is shaped like a giant axe, with the axe blade pointing skyward, as if it were about to cleave the heavens.

The mountain range, shaped like a giant axe, just floats there.

One could vaguely sense powerful auras within, and occasionally even see powerful human beings flying around inside.

"You see? This is another sacred place for our human race, besides the initial universe!"

The Nine Swords Venerable said softly, a sense of pride in his eyes: "Only the true elites of our human race are qualified to enter here."

"Furthermore, unlike the initial universe, the strongest being in the giant axe's miniature universe can freely adjust the flow of time. Under normal circumstances, the flow of time here is ten times that of the original universe!"

"Ten times the time flow rate?" Yang Wu's heart stirred slightly.

If he could send the Time Palace into the miniature universe of the strongest being with the giant axe, wouldn't the simulation count in the time simulator refresh even faster?

Let's go!

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled and said, "I have already contacted the Ancestral Tree Venerable beforehand, and he is currently waiting for us in his palace!"

"Hmm!" Yang Wu nodded slightly.

Soon, the two arrived at a vast palace atop the mountain.

The strength of the Ancestral Tree Venerable is already considered to be among the top in the entire Giant Axe Arena, so his residence is naturally located together with the residences of several Universe Lords.

However, most of the universe lords among the human race reside in important locations within human territory or roam the cosmic sea. Safe places like small universes are rarely where universe lords reside for extended periods.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Wu and his companion, and a vast vitality came towards them.

This figure was less than three meters tall, dressed in a full set of emerald green armor, and had an ordinary appearance, similar to an Earthling. The pressure emanating from him caused the entire surrounding universe to tremble slightly.

This person is none other than the Ancestral Tree Venerable, the top cosmic overlord of the human race who inspires fear in billions of races throughout the universe!

"Nine Swords." Venerable Ancestral Tree nodded slightly to Venerable Nine Swords, his voice booming and echoing in the surrounding universe.

"Venerable Ancestor Tree!"

The Nine Swords Venerable's voice carried a hint of respect as he slowly said, "You must already know why we've come!"

The Ancestral Tree Venerable was one of the strongest disciples of the Giant Axe Master. Although he joined the sect relatively late, his strength was among the top in the entire human race.

After all, as a super genius who fused with the Star Pearl and successfully broke through the shackles to achieve immortality, the Ancestral Tree Venerable also gave birth to three avatars.

One of them is even a world tree, a being that defies all odds.

"I know." Upon hearing the Nine Swords Venerable's question, the Ancestral Tree Venerable nodded slightly, then turned to look at Yang Wu beside him, feeling quite emotional.

The Ancestral Tree Venerable was not unfamiliar with the peerless genius among the human race before him.

As a super genius, Venerable Ancestral Tree had already become a disciple of the strongest axe master when he was at the cosmic level.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to obtain the opportunity to fuse with the Star Pearl.

When he first fused with the Star Pearl, Venerable Ancestral Tree was filled with pride, believing that he would break through to immortality in no time.

Unexpectedly, within ten thousand years he raised his understanding of the laws to a level comparable to the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and then spent fifty thousand years creating three peak secret techniques, enabling him to possess the combat power of a king even during his time as a realm lord.

Even so, it took him a full eight million years to break free from the shackles of the original core formed by the Star Pearl.

It should be noted that although he gave birth to a special life form like the World Tree as his clone, his lifespan at the World Lord level did not increase at all.

After all, before achieving immortality, the lifespan of any living being is related to its own body and soul.

The lifespan of a special life form at the realm master level is infinite, but this does not mean that as long as one possesses a special life form, one can live forever.

After all, even after possessing another's body, the soul remains the same as the original soul, and before becoming an immortal god, the soul also has a lifespan.

Like the 'eternal body' in the universe, the physical body is born to exist eternally, but the soul can only live for a thousand epochs.

Eight million years is a very long time, which is very close to the lifespan limit of the Ancestral Tree Venerable at the Realm Lord level.

Fortunately, it was all worth it. He finally broke free from the shackles of the Star Bead and became a super being with several powerful clones.

Even when facing a more powerful cosmic ruler, he was confident enough to save his life.

That is why, when the news spread that Yang Wu had broken through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, in less than a thousand years of cultivation, the Ancestral Tree Venerable was extremely shocked and could hardly imagine it.

You have to understand, his talent was already extraordinary enough, even more so than those peerless geniuses who existed for tens of millions of epochs.

But what about Yang Wu right now?

His cultivation speed is more than ten times that of his!

It was after Yang Wu broke through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, that the Ancestral Tree Venerable began to pay attention to him.

However, in recent years, this super genius, who is rarely seen in the human race even in countless years, seems to have completely disappeared without a trace.

However, Venerable Ancestral Tree also knew that this was also a form of protection from the human race. When he was training at the Realm Lord stage, he had also concealed his identity.

After receiving the email from the Nine Swords Venerable, the Ancestral Tree Venerable learned that Yang Wu, this peerless genius, had also chosen to fuse with the Star Pearl at the cosmic level!

When he first received the news, Venerable Zushu was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, he quickly felt relieved.

After all, although Star Beads are incredibly precious, they were originally prepared for human geniuses.

If it were in the hands of these cosmic venerables, it would probably be less valuable than an ordinary treasure.

If a genius as brilliant as Yang Wu doesn't fuse with the Star Pearl, it would be a great loss to the human race.

"but……"

As Venerable Zushu led Yang Wu and the other man into the living room, he slowly said, "Nine Swords, Yang Wu, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed this time!"

"disappointment?"

Before Yang Wu could speak, the Nine Swords Venerable spoke up first: "Ancestral Tree Venerable, do you mean that you no longer have the genetic material of a World Lord-level World Tree?"

For the Nine Swords Venerable, the World Tree, as an extremely rare and special life form in the universe, was naturally very suitable for his disciples to nurture into an avatar.

Firstly, the World Tree possesses the innate ability to "master space and time," which is extremely important for the Venerable One's future cultivation.

For a cosmic sovereign, having already comprehended one of the two supreme laws, time or space, the task of comprehending the other supreme law and becoming a cosmic master capable of traversing the universe is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Among the human race, there are only a little over 100,000 King-level experts, but there are several thousand Universe Venerables.

But how many lords of the universe are there? There are only a dozen or so!

If Yang Wu could obtain the World Tree's talent for "mastering space and time," coupled with his own astonishing comprehension, his path to becoming a master of the universe would undoubtedly be smoother.

Secondly, the World Tree is incredibly large, ranking first among plant life forms in the primordial universe.

The sheer size of even ordinary Star-Eating Grass and other auxiliary plants is enough to make any powerhouse of the same level despair. But the World Tree? Its size is countless times larger than the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass!

As long as Yang Wu can nurture a World Tree clone, he will have an inexhaustible reserve of divine power in the future. When the divine power is consumed, it can be quickly replenished, and even if the clone perishes, it can be quickly resurrected.

Thirdly, the World Tree can also make the divine kingdom more stable.

Just like the "Mantuo God General" in the Ancestral God Cult, he did not initially obtain the position of God General, and his strength was extremely ordinary among the universe overlords.

The God of Komantuo had a good relationship with the strongest World Tree. He once asked the World Tree for a branch and planted it in his own country. The branch continued to grow and eventually became a huge 'Tree of Life'.

This enormous Tree of Life also made General Mantuo's divine kingdom incredibly stable. He even dared to absorb some cosmic overlords who were stronger than himself into his own divine kingdom, using the power within the divine kingdom to kill them.

But now, just when there was hope, it suddenly vanished, and the Nine Swords Venerable was naturally somewhat disappointed.

As for Yang Wu, he didn't react much.

After all, for him, obtaining the Blood Sea Avatar was much more difficult than obtaining the World Tree Avatar. Even if he couldn't obtain the World Lord-level World Tree's genetic material from the Ancestral Tree Venerable, he could simply go to the Ancestral God Cult and find another way.

At this moment, Venerable Zushu had already led Yang Wu and the other person to the living room.

"Please sit down!" Venerable Zushu gestured for the two to sit down, and then with a wave of his hand, a rather precious wine appeared next to Yang Wu and the other.

"I do still possess a small amount of genetic material from a World Tree of the World Lord level!" Venerable Ancestral Tree raised his cup in acknowledgment, then explained, "However, I have an agreement with the strongest World Tree that I cannot provide any more genetic material from the World Tree to others, nor can I give away any branches of the World Tree's avatars to anyone else!"

In fact, for the strongest World Tree, some of the genetic material of a World Lord-level World Tree is nothing.

After all, even with a treasure like the Star Pearl, how many life forms in the universe can nurture a World Tree clone? And how difficult would it be to achieve immortality after nurturing a World Tree clone?

There are very few people in the universe who could do that!

Otherwise, a World Tree at the World Lord level, which has lived for countless years, would have already broken through to the Immortal level.

The most powerful World Tree cares about those branches that can be nurtured into the Tree of Life to bless the divine kingdom!

As a plant species with extremely strong vitality, the World Tree naturally possesses some characteristics of plant life.

Some of the slightly larger branches can be nurtured into a new tree of life.

Although the Tree of Life is far less powerful than the World Tree, it can greatly increase the power of a divine kingdom after being blessed by it.

If the Ancestral Tree Venerable were to continuously bestow branches of the World Tree's avatars upon the many powerful beings within the human race, the consequences would be far more severe!

"I see!" Nine Swords Venerable nodded.

Since it's an agreement between the Ancestral Tree and the strongest World Tree, there's nothing that can be done.

Although the Ancestral God Venerable gave birth to a World Tree avatar, it was a World Tree at the World Lord level, which was still inferior to the strongest World Tree in terms of life gene level.

Despite having the blessing of supreme treasures and his self-created ultimate secret technique, the strength of the Ancestral Tree Venerable is only about the same as that of the strongest World Tree.

Furthermore, due to the difference in divine physique, the Ancestral Tree Venerable is still a notch below the strongest World Tree.

Furthermore, the strongest World Tree is backed by the universe's number one power—the Ancestral God Cult—making its background even stronger than that of the Ancestral Tree Venerable.

"However, Nine Swords, you and Yang Wu shouldn't be too disappointed!"

The Ancestral Tree Venerable looked at Yang Wu and the other person, and continued with a smile, "Although I cannot obtain the genetic material of a World Lord-level World Tree here, obtaining it from the strongest World Tree is not difficult!"

"What the strongest World Tree cares about most is preventing its branches from overflowing and causing an overabundance of Life Trees. As for the genetic material of a World Lord-level World Tree, it's nothing more than dandruff to them!"

"Furthermore, even if one obtains the genetic material of a World Tree at the World Lord level, how many people are actually capable of creating an avatar from it?"

"Yang Wu, I remember you also followed the path of the Beast God. Although you are only a Realm Lord, with your talent, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to obtain a Beast God Inheritance Token from your clan."

"Once you arrive at the Ancestral God Cult, you might as well ask one of the strongest among our human races to take you to negotiate with the most powerful World Tree! Obtaining some genetic material from a World Lord-level World Tree shouldn't be too difficult!"

After hearing what Venerable Zushu said, Yang Wu suddenly understood.

Yes, even the Golden Horned Beast, which cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, was unable to create a World Tree clone.

The Golden Horned Beast is already one of the most powerful bloodlines in the universe. How many other life forms can compare to it?

Moreover, although the process of Luo Feng obtaining the World Tree leaf in the original work was extremely difficult, he actually started taking action as soon as he got there.

If I could find a powerful person to mediate, obtaining some genetic material wouldn't be too difficult.

After all, Yang Wu's current talent is even more amazing than Luo Feng's in the original work.

The identity of a Realm Lord is impossible to hide from the Universe Lords within the Ancestral God Sect, and may even attract the attention of some super beings who want to win him over.

In this way, it wouldn't be difficult to find a powerful figure among them to mediate. At worst, they could also make an agreement with the strongest World Tree!

"Thank you for the reminder, Venerable Ancestor Tree!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

In truth, if it weren't for the other party's reminder, Yang Wu might have actually taken action to snatch it directly, just like Luo Feng did in the original story.

However, he doesn't have the same methods as the Demon Slayer Clan's clones, so it would definitely take him much more effort to achieve that.

Now that we have this idea, even if it's a blood sea clone, it's not a big problem.

At worst, once we're in the Ancestral God Sect, we can join one of the Nine Netherworld Lord's factions first.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that we need to impose some restrictions, otherwise it would be completely unreasonable for the human race not to have a part of the Tree of Life.

As for the World Tree's enormous and immobile form, I think that's a common occurrence. It's like a plant that assists in life; it can be as large as a star, or as small as a person.

As for combat, I personally think that having the Flame God Clan clone is enough in front of the Lord of the Universe.

As for exploring bushes, I personally feel that an emulator is sufficient. This is because I'll be writing less and less about my experiences in emulators in the future; I won't be able to describe everything in detail every time, otherwise, the repetition will be too much and people will complain.

But I really didn't copy and paste. Even with similar simulation experiences, many things are different due to changes in the protagonist's strength and talent.
