Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 372 The New Clone

"To create a clone?"

"This Divine Might King actually wants to create an avatar from the Nine Nether Sea?"

Upon hearing Yang Wu's reply, the Lord of the Dark Serpent was slightly startled.

Although the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is very powerful, in a one-on-one fight, he is still somewhat inferior to the top-tier universe lords such as the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of the Star River.

However, for many powerful beings in the vast universe, they would rather offend the Lord of Chaos City, or even the strongest being in the universe, than offend the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds!

Even if the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is killed, a new Lord of the Nine Netherworlds will immediately appear in the Sea of ​​the Nine Netherworlds.

Generally speaking, even for a cosmic ruler who possesses clones, it takes a very long time to regenerate a clone after losing one.

Just like the Chaos City Lord who has three clones, if one of his clones were to perish, it would be a huge loss even for the entire human race.

However, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is able to regenerate immediately after his clones perish, endlessly.

The reason the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is able to do this is because the entire Nine Netherworld Sea below is the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' true form. As long as the Nine Netherworld Blood Sea exists, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds will possess this inexhaustible source of energy.

"To think of nurturing an entire Imperial Sea into multiple avatars, this Divine Might King truly has an extraordinary ambition!" the Lord of the Dark Serpent thought to himself. "However, which peerless genius wouldn't want to become a super powerhouse traversing the universe? It's perfectly normal for him to have such lofty ambitions!"

"If this Divine Might King can truly nurture a Royal Sea as an avatar, then his future achievements will likely be even more astonishing!"

The Lord of the Dark Serpent had thought of these things, and so had the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

However, he did not have the idea of ​​rejecting Yang Wu.

After all, for the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, it was nothing short of a pipe dream for this human to try to achieve his current status by creating a World Lord-level Imperial Sea!

It should be noted that the diameter of a Lord-level Imperial Sea is only 80 million kilometers, which is a drop in the ocean compared to the 12 light-year diameter of the Nine Nether Sea.

Furthermore, the life gene level of the World Lord-level Emperor Sea is not high, only three hundred times that of ordinary life in the universe. Among special life forms, it can only be considered a very ordinary level.

Furthermore, once a prince at the realm lord level transforms into a sea, the genetic level of the clone he regenerates is only one-tenth of the original, merely thirty times that of an ordinary life form in the universe. In terms of strength alone, it is only slightly stronger than the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beast.

The greatest advantage of the World Lord level Emperor Sea is its enormous body, which is 80 million kilometers in diameter. Once it enters the Immortal realm, it will have an inexhaustible reserve of divine power.

However, many plant-based and rock-based life forms can also do this, such as the World Tree (a World Lord-level entity) and Mount Li (a World Lord-level entity)...

Although these special life forms are smaller in size, once they reach a certain size, their effects are exactly the same.

The World Tree, for example, is 5.9 million kilometers tall. Its enormous size is inexhaustible.

With this in mind, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds made a decision.

"Human, the Imperial Sea is one of the taboos of my Nine Netherworld. I would never have handed over the waters of the Imperial Sea, a realm master level entity, to you!"

"Considering that you, Divine Might King, were able to obtain the first treasure from the treasure trove of my Ancestral God Sect, and have already become a designated member of the outer organization of my Ancestral God Sect, and a key member at that, I can give you a chance!"

The voice of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds echoed throughout the entire Nine Netherworld space-time: "The outer organizations of my Ancestral God Cult are commanded by individual Guardian God Lords. And I am the Guardian God Lord of the Nine Netherworld lineage. If you, Divine Might King, can join my Nine Netherworld lineage, I can bestow upon you a portion of the seawater of a World Lord-level Imperial Sea!"

Upon hearing the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' conditions, even the Lord of the Dark Serpent was slightly surprised. He quickly transmitted his voice to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, saying, "Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, with the talent of this Divine Might King, the probability of him becoming the Lord of the Universe in the future is still very high! Aren't you afraid...aren't you afraid that another Nine Netherworld Sea will appear in this universe?"

"Hahaha..." The voice of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds echoed in the mind of the Lord of the Dark Serpent: "Dark Serpent, you underestimate me, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds! My ability to become a super being who traverses the universe is not solely due to the Nine Netherworld Sea!"

At the same time, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds added in his mind, "Moreover, even if this Divine Might King could truly break through to the level of a Universe Lord, he simply wouldn't be able to create such a vast Nine Netherworld Sea!"

After all, Huang Hai's natural life gene level of 300 times has already determined the upper limit of the World Lord level. How can he be compared with him who has a gene level of 10,000 times?

Even if one becomes the master of the universe and can continue to improve their life gene level, what kind of resources would be needed to increase that vast sea of ​​blood to ten thousand times the life gene level?

"What the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds said makes sense!" The Lord of the Dark Serpent nodded to himself.

Although the time it took to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe was quite short, the Lord of the Dark Serpent, who was born from a special life form, had already lived for countless years.

Furthermore, since the Lord of the Dark Serpent also originated from the Ancestral Mystic Realm, he has a great deal of knowledge about the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

Countless ages ago, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds did not possess the super power that is now renowned throughout the universe. He was only known for his ability to quickly resurrect after his fall.

Although this ability is powerful, because his strength is not particularly great, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds still faces targeting from many universe lords.

Even more remarkably, during a battle for a supreme treasure, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was pursued and killed by the Lord of the Azure Ducks and the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf of the Demon Clan, and fled back to the Nine Netherworlds in a sorry state.

After escaping back to the Nine Netherworld, the Lord of the Nine Netherworld erupted completely, and the entire Nine Netherworld Sea instantly burst into flames, with endless divine power bombarding the two universe lords of the demon race.

At that time, the Nine Nether Lord's strength was almost equal to that of the Azure Duck Lord. However, with the cover of endless divine power, the Nine Nether Lord instantly killed the Azure Duck Lord. As for the Heavenly Wolf Lord, he could only flee in a sorry state with the help of his Heavenly Wolf Palace.

It was that battle that truly made the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds famous throughout the universe, and also made countless super strong people aware of the true relationship between him and the Nine Netherworld Sea.

As for the demon race, which already possessed two of the strongest beings in the universe at that time, they did not deliberately target the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds because of the fall of their own universe lord.

After all, apart from soul annihilation, even if the two strongest beings in the universe joined forces, they would not be able to cause any effective damage to the Nine Nether Sea.

Now, as countless years have passed, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has become even more terrifying, and has even become the protector deity of the Ancestral God Sect.

Having a Blood Sea clone only slightly enhances one's ability to survive. Becoming a super powerhouse like the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is not something that can be achieved simply by possessing a Nine Netherworld Sea.

For example, of the three princes of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, only one is a cosmic overlord, while the other two are just ordinary cosmic venerables.

As the Lord of the Dark Serpent pondered, Yang Wu, standing beside him, also respectfully bowed and said, "Your subordinate pays respects to the Guardian God!"

For Yang Wu, apart from the Mountain Guest, the God King of Jin, the most important opportunity in the primordial universe was the Blood Sea Avatar with the ability to create, which was even more precious than the most powerful treasure.

Now that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds had given him the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't hesitate. After all, even if he didn't join the outer members of the Ancestral God Sect now, he would automatically join once he reached the fifth level of the Path of the Beast God.

Therefore, by joining now, Yang Wu suffers no loss whatsoever; on the contrary, he gains the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds as a backer.

"You've made the wisest choice!" said the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. "Good, this is the 'Ancestral God's Decree'!"

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds conjured a black token that landed directly in front of Yang Wu.

Yang Wu reached out and took it. The black token was heavy and cold to the touch, and two characters were engraved on it with a mysterious pattern.

Although Yang Wu did not recognize it, he could clearly understand that the secret pattern formed the two characters "Ancestral God".

"By imprinting your spiritual mark onto this Ancestral God Token, you will gain complete control over it!" The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds looked down at Yang Wu and explained, "Through this Ancestral God Token, you can contact many powerful figures within the Ancestral God Sect. Missions issued within the Ancestral God Sect are also disseminated through this token. As long as you are within the scope of this primordial universe, you can contact them through the Ancestral God Token!"

"The Ancestral God's Token is very special; do not lose it!"

"Understood!" Yang Wu nodded seriously, then looked at the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds with some anticipation.

"Hahaha!" the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds laughed, "No need to rush, would I lie to you?"

As soon as the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds finished speaking, a fist-sized ball of blood-red liquid appeared in mid-air.

The liquid was surrounded by wisps of blood mist, emitting an extremely strong stench of blood.

"This is the seawater of a Lord-level Imperial Sea!"

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds summoned the crimson liquid before Yang Wu: "Whether you can nurture it into an avatar depends on your fate!"

The universe is fair. If the Divine King's ability to create clones came from a cosmic life form capable of reproduction, even the most advanced bloodline, it would be impossible to create a Blood Sea clone at the World Lord level.

After all, even for a peak bloodline like the Golden Horned Beast, it's unrealistic to expect it to create a Blood Sea clone with a life gene level three hundred times higher.

Of course, if the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds knew that Yang Wu obtained his clone talent after fusing with the Star Pearl, he would no longer have such doubts.

However, Yang Wu's original core remained with the Yan Shen Clan clone on the outer battlefield, which the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was completely unaware of.

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Protector of the Faith!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' reminder was well-intentioned, so he naturally wouldn't argue with it.

Having fused with the Star Pearl, he could even nurture the World Tree, let alone the Blood Sea Avatar.

However, Yang Wu had previously planned to obtain a leaf from a World Tree of the World Lord level while seeking the genetic material from the World Lord level Blood Sea, in order to nurture his clone.

However, after arriving in the Nine Netherworld, he had already given up on the idea.

After all, the fewer people who know about the creation of clones, the better. Having obtained the first treasure of the treasure land, he now has more options for acquiring the genetic material of the World Lord-level World Tree, so there's no need to continue asking the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds or the Lord of the Dark Serpent for help.

"There's one more thing!" the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds continued, "Yang Wu, the genetic material of the World Lord-level Blood Sea I bestowed upon you, including the World Lord-level Blood Sea life forms you have conceived, can only be used by you alone and must never be given to anyone else!"

"This..." Yang Wu felt a sense of helplessness. "It seems that no special life form would allow its identity to be spread throughout the universe in the form of clones!"

He had originally planned to separate the blood and give a portion to Luo Feng after returning to human territory.

Unexpectedly, the plan was thwarted by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds before it even began.

However, Yang Wu wasn't too surprised and continued respectfully, "Your subordinate understands!"

"Alright, now that things are over, I won't keep you two any longer!" said the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. "Yang Wu, if anyone from the Ancestral God Sect contacts you, show them the Ancestral God Token, and they'll understand!"

"Yes!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

Immediately, the figure of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds vanished from Yang Wu's sight.

……

After the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds left, the Lord of the Dark Serpent looked at Yang Wu beside him, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"I never imagined that the Divine Might King would come to see the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds wanting to create a Blood Sea Avatar!"

"However, I wasn't much of a help this time!"

The Lord of Dark Serpent knew very well that even without his help, it wouldn't be too difficult for Yang Wu to meet the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

After all, among the many guardians under the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, there are several powerful figures from the Hong Alliance.

However, the resources he lacked when he exchanged for the Silver Serpent Sword were probably tens of millions of epochs' worth, even for a universe master like him, without risking his life.

"However, since this Divine King intends to create an avatar, I have a rather suitable option!"

The Lord of the Dark Serpent thought to himself, "As long as I hand over the 'Thunderous Rainbow' that I killed back then, whether it can successfully conceive or not, it will be enough to settle this favor!"

"Ting Ni" was an extremely powerful special life form that the Lord of Dark Serpent encountered when he had just broken through to immortality.

It's important to understand that the Lord of the Dark Serpent was also of special life form origin. Although his genetic level wasn't high, it was still three hundred times that of ordinary life forms in the universe. After breaking through his shackles and achieving immortality, although he didn't possess many treasures, he still had the strength to be an invincible king.

However, when he encountered the World Lord-level 'Ting Ni', he still felt immense pressure. In the end, he had to burn his immortal divine power and use his innate secret technique to successfully shatter the opponent's original core.

Thinking this, the Lord of the Dark Serpent, while teleporting with Yang Wu, said, "Divine Might King, in my opinion, apart from its enormous size, that World Lord-level Imperial Sea doesn't suit you in other aspects. You can choose a clone that's more suitable for you!"

"this……"

Hearing this, Yang Wu was speechless. The Blood Sea Avatar could help him break through to True Godhood via the path of divine power, so how could it not be suitable for him?

However, Yang Wu couldn't directly refute the other party. Instead, he said seriously, "The Blood Sea Avatar's divine body is enormous, granting one extremely strong life-saving abilities. How could it be unsuitable?"

"Hahaha!" The Lord of the Dark Serpent smiled and said, "Divine Might King, the Nine Nether Sea is naturally invincible in the hands of the Lord of the Nine Nether!"

"But it's not quite suitable for you!"

"Given the talent you've displayed, you'll likely be targeted for assassination by your human race's enemies for a long time to come. Such as the demon race, the machine race, the insectoid race, and so on..."

"And if these alien races were to assassinate you, it would be a swift and devastating attack, ensuring your demise and preventing any chance of resurrection through time reversal!"

"To achieve this, soul control is the best option!"

"That unparalleled genius of your human race, Koti, the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, was assassinated by the Zerg in this very way! Even the Chaos City Lord couldn't reverse time to resurrect his disciple, who was only at the World Lord level!"

"With the existence of the time simulator, I won't become that Coty!" Yang Wu thought to himself, but he still listened attentively.

"I know that, Divine King, your will is extremely astonishing, likely reaching the limit of an immortal god. Furthermore, you possess a top-tier soul-type treasure within your sea of ​​consciousness. It's likely that even a cosmic venerable would be unable to control you through a soul attack!"

"However, given your talent, and the fact that you obtained the first treasure of the treasure land, your human race's enemies might send a cosmic overlord skilled in soul attacks to assassinate you!"

"Even with the protection of powerful human beings, you might still encounter a tremendous crisis!"

"Therefore, I suggest you cultivate a soulless clone. That way, even if the alien race tries to control you through a soul attack, they won't be able to do anything about it!"

Originally, Yang Wu didn't pay much attention to what the Dark Serpent Lord said.

But after hearing all this, he suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.

Of course, Yang Wu wasn't afraid of encountering danger in reality, but if he could really create a soulless clone, wouldn't he be safer in the simulation?

In the original story, Luo Feng avoided many dangers precisely because of the existence of the Demon Slayer Clan's clone.

However, this does not mean that Yang Wu intends to give up on nurturing the Blood Sea clone. Doesn't he still have one more slot to nurture a clone?

In fact, after careful consideration, Yang Wu discovered that the World Tree clone and the Blood Sea clone have some overlapping effects in certain aspects.

Their divine bodies are all incredibly large, making movement difficult; yet they can all stabilize their divine kingdoms...

The only unique thing about the World Tree clone is probably its talent for controlling space and time, but this is not irreplaceable.

With this in mind, Yang Wu already had the idea of ​​choosing a clone again.

At this moment, the Lord of the Dark Serpent continued, "I do have an avatar here that is extremely suitable for you to choose from!"

At this moment, the Lord of Dark Serpents had already brought Yang Wu back to a space-time within his own temple. With a wave of his hand, an enormous corpse appeared in the void, or more accurately, an enormous thundercloud.
