Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 375 Contributing Treasures

After arriving in Chaos City, Yang Wu did not immediately go to the city lord's mansion to exchange for treasures, but went directly to the rooftop of a dwelling where people lived.

At this moment, a handsome young man was sitting cross-legged on the rooftop of the cultivation residence. This person was Yang Wu's son, Yang Chen.

Because of the Time Palace and the Time Simulator, Yang Wu's growth rate is incredibly fast.

In addition, due to the difference in the flow of time between the initial universe and the primordial universe, Yang Chen was still cultivating in Chaos City, while Yang Wu had already returned to Chaos City.

Upon sensing someone approaching, Yang Chen, who was meditating cross-legged, immediately opened his eyes.

Upon realizing that the visitor was his father, Yang Chen was slightly taken aback, but then a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Father!" Yang Chen quickly stood up, walked to Yang Wu and bowed respectfully.

Because the bloodline of the Augustans is stronger than that of Earthlings, Yang Chen looks more like his wife Qian Shui, and his face also has mysterious green markings.

Of course, Yang Chen was born on Earth, and his soul, like his body, underwent the same transformation as Earth.

"Get up!" Yang Wu said with a smile as he looked at the handsome young man in front of him.

To be honest, Yang Wu still felt a little guilty towards his son, Yang Chen.

After all, throughout Yang Chen's growth, he has always strived to become stronger.

Although his son's cultivation resources have never been lacking, he has spent relatively little time with him.

At this time, Yang Wu returned to Chaos City, and the father and son met again.

"Father, why did you suddenly come to Chaos City? Is it because of the assassination attempt by the alien race?" Yang Chen asked worriedly.

Yang Wu's identity as the Divine Might King had already been spread throughout the universe by the Zerg, the Machine Race, and the Demon Race. As a genius in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, Yang Chen naturally knew the news as well.

"I'm here on another matter!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "Knowing you're still cultivating here, I came specifically to see you!"

"How are things? Are you adjusting well to cultivating in this Chaos City?"

"This place is simply a sacred ground for comprehending the laws!" Yang Chen exclaimed excitedly. "Whether it's the Chaos True Spirit or the ever-manifesting laws of the universe, both are extremely helpful for comprehending the laws. Of course, the most important thing is that you can comprehend the Chaos Stele!"

"Indeed, Chaos City is a sacred cultivation ground for our human race!" Yang Wu exclaimed in agreement. "How's your comprehension of the laws going?"

"Father!" Yang Chen said with some shame, "I've only passed the second level of the Bridge to Heaven so far, but with the teacher's guidance, I'm confident I can pass the third level when I leave Chaos City!"

Such talent is already quite remarkable. After all, even among those peerless geniuses who joined the Virtual Universe Company through the Peak Genius Station, only a handful of them could pass through the third level of the Heavenly Bridge in each of the thirty years in Chaos City.

But with such talent, not to mention comparing him to his father Yang Chen, he was far inferior even to his father's brothers and his mother Qian Shui.

It should be noted that he has access to a wealth of resources that are unmatched by others.

As far as teachers are concerned, other geniuses only have the opportunity to go to other masters' schools to listen to lectures after passing through the third level of the Bridge to Heaven, and only if the master is willing will they be able to become his disciples.

However, after choosing the "Heart Trace Chaos Stele", Yang Chen, through his father's introduction, became a disciple of a grandmaster of the Heart Trace lineage.

In addition, he had the help of many treasures, but he still could not catch up with the geniuses of those original secret realms.

"Well done!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

Yang Wu had already anticipated Yang Chen's talent. Therefore, he wasn't surprised to learn that Yang Chen had only passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge.

After all, such geniuses are the most common kind of unparalleled geniuses among humankind.

Geniuses like Yang Wu himself, Luo Feng, Hong, Thor, Bolan, Rong Jun, and even Mo Luo are extremely rare.

After all, in terms of final achievements alone, even Thor, who was less talented, became one of the thousands of human cosmic lords when the universe was destroyed.

It's important to understand that the human race back then, in terms of both territory and heritage, was far beyond what we have today. Even after accumulating resources over trillions of epochs, they only had a little over a thousand universe lords.

"With Yang Chen's talent, becoming a King-level Immortal shouldn't be too difficult for him in the future!" Yang Wu thought to himself. "If he works harder, he might even have a chance to become a Universe Venerable!"

"Not bad?" Yang Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing his father's evaluation.

If he hadn't seen Yang Wu smiling, he probably would have thought it was Yang Wu mocking him.

"Alright!" Seeing Yang Chen's expression, Yang Wu said with a smile, "With your current cultivation speed, you still have a chance to break into the Primordial Secret Realm in the future!"

Of course, even the cosmic-level members of those original secret realms cannot compare with Yang Chen in terms of the resources they can enjoy now.

But Yang Wu must set a goal for his son, right?

Immediately, Yang Wu had a thought, and a dark gold world ring appeared in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Wu handed the World Ring to Yang Chen and said with a smile, "Little Chen, in a little while, you'll be leaving Chaos City to venture out into the world! Here are some resources I've prepared for you; use them wisely!"

Inside the World Ring were some resources that Yang Wu had purchased from the Virtual Universe Company's treasury, suitable for cultivation by universe-level powerhouses. Although there were some restricted items, given Yang Wu's current status and after reporting to the Virtual Universe Company's higher-ups, no one would care.

"Thank you, Father!" Yang Chen reached out and took the World Ring, speaking with utmost seriousness.

"Alright, you can continue your cultivation!" Yang Wu waved his hand and then soared into the air, flying in another direction.

"Father, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation and will never let you down!" Looking in the direction Yang Wu left, Yang Chen made up his mind.

……

After leaving his son Yang Chen's cultivation residence, Yang Wu went to see Luo Feng, who was also cultivating in Chaos City.

As for resources, Yang Wu had already gifted Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng 50 million points each during their previous chat in the virtual universe.

The three of them didn't intend to accept it at first, but Yang Wu offered to lend it to them temporarily, which reassured them and they accepted it.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Yang Wu's divine power and fame have spread throughout the universe.

After all, for the Divine Might King, a mere fifty million points is really nothing.

After giving Luo Feng some pointers, Yang Wu left.

Walking on the streets of Chaos City, Yang Wu suddenly found it somewhat amusing as he recalled his experiences in the simulation.

After all, he had always received help from Luo Feng in the simulation, but in reality, it was the other way around.

It's hard to tell who got the better deal for the time being.

However, precisely because of this, the two can become stronger much faster, both in reality and in simulated experiences!

……

Afterwards, Yang Wu visited his senior brother, Latte, who was still in Chaos City.

At this point, Latte had already broken through to the World Lord level, and with the help of the World Power, his cultivation speed had greatly improved.

Now, like Yang Chen, he has also passed through the second level of the Sky Bridge.

Of course, such an understanding of the laws is still quite low for a realm lord.

In a quiet lounge, Yang Wu and his senior, Latte, sat facing each other.

"Senior brother, are you sure you don't need me to introduce you to a teacher?" Yang Wu asked earnestly. "If you're willing, I'll definitely introduce you to a King-level Immortal as your teacher!"

"How could I not trust you, Junior Brother? You're the renowned Divine Might King!"

Although Latte wasn't a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, he was in Chaos City and was well-informed, so he had already heard that Yang Wu was the Divine Might King.

Even though a considerable amount of time had passed, Latte still felt a bit like he was in a dream when Yang Wu appeared before him.

You must know, that was a peak-level expert who had reached the King level.

Within the Qianwu Universe, perhaps only the Qianwu King's strength surpasses that of the Divine Might King. More importantly, how long has Yang Wu been cultivating?

Only a few hundred years!

But this incredible genius is actually Latte's junior apprentice?

Latte smiled and said, then shook her head slightly and added, "But let's forget about introducing the teacher!"

At this moment, Latte's feelings were also incredibly complicated.

That was a teacher who was granted the title of King and became immortal!

It should be noted that even within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, there are only a handful of immortals who can truly be crowned kings, and none of them are under the command of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

Those who hold the title of "King" among the three hundred marquises in the Qianwu Universe are merely self-proclaimed within the Qianwu Universe. In terms of strength alone, they are nothing more than immortal marquises.

If he had had the chance to become a disciple of an immortal god who had been granted the title of King, he would have seized it no matter what.

But now, he was unwilling to trouble Yang Wu any further about this matter. After all, if a King-level Immortal wanted to take a mediocre Realm Lord like him as a disciple, Yang Wu would definitely owe him a favor.

Hearing Latte's reply, Yang Wu guessed what the other person was thinking: she simply didn't want to trouble him!

"Very well!" Yang Wu thought to himself, "Once I enslave some more King-level Immortals on the extraterrestrial battlefield, my senior brother won't refuse!"

Immediately, Yang Wu had a thought, and another world ring appeared in his hand.

Yang Wu handed the World Ring to Latte, smiling as he said, "But since you've already refused my help, you wouldn't refuse my gift again, would you, Senior Brother?"

"Haha! How could that be?" Latte laughed heartily. "You are the renowned Divine Might King, I won't be satisfied with a meager gift!"

As Latte spoke, she imprinted the spiritual mark onto the world ring and examined it carefully.

But upon this investigation, he was completely stunned.

"Junior brother!" Latte stammered, "This...this...is too precious! I can't accept it!"

As he spoke, Latte handed the World Ring back to Yang Wu.

My God, the treasures inside the World Ring, just the ones he recognizes, already exceed the entire fortune of his father, Marquis Jin Guang.

In addition, there were treasures he couldn't recognize at all, which must be even more valuable!

Yang Wu vanished in a flash, leaving only a voice in the living room.

"Senior brother, if you refuse again, you'll be disowning me as your junior brother!"

Looking at the empty living room, Latte felt a surge of emotions.

"Being able to get my father to accept my junior brother as his disciple is probably the most important thing I've ever done in my life!"

……

After leaving Latte's place, Yang Wu visited his former mentor, Jianhuang Wang.

Sword King guided him for a long time, especially in his understanding of the Law of Metal, which greatly helped him.

Moreover, King Jianhuang was also his wife Qianshui's teacher, so now that Yang Wu had come to Chaos City, he naturally had to pay him a visit.

After leaving a box of fine wine at the Jianhuang King's residence, Yang Wu headed to the City Lord's Mansion.

To exchange for treasures in Chaos City, one must first apply in the virtual universe, and then go to a special location in Chaos City where the virtual universe system will determine the value of the treasures and award corresponding contribution points.

At the core of the virtual universe system is a mechanical race universe master, who naturally has no personal emotions. Therefore, when judging the value of treasures, he is naturally fair and convincing to all the powerful beings.

The place to exchange the treasures is in an ancient side hall inside the city lord's mansion.

Normally, that ancient side hall is always closed, and it will only open automatically after a powerful person who has made an application arrives.

Soon, Yang Wu arrived at the gate of the side hall.

Rumble...

The ancient bronze palace gates slowly opened, and after a short while, the bronze gates, which were over a hundred meters wide, were fully open.

Yang Wu immediately stepped inside.

Boom!

The palace door closed again.

"Those who can appear here are all true powerhouses within their clans, as well as those who possess true treasures!" Yang Wu sighed inwardly.

Generally speaking, only the cosmic venerables within a race can come here, and now he has the same qualification.

Yang Wu looked around and saw that the quiet and ancient hall was very spacious, with only a huge stone plate with a diameter of more than 100 meters placed in the center.

Simply place your treasure on the stone plate, and the virtual universe system can conduct an extremely detailed examination of the treasure through the stone plate to determine its true value.

"Haha, let's give away the treasures we obtained from the Dark Serpent Lord first!"

With a flick of his wrist, Yang Wu produced the longsword treasure he had traded with the Lord of the Dark Serpent, along with a large amount of other resources.

Yang Wu had already thoroughly examined all the resources, and since there were no treasures he needed, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

hum...

Strands of cyan silk slowly rose from the stone disc, enveloping the many treasures on it and beginning a detailed examination.

After a while.

A voice rang out in the main hall.

"One top-tier treasure weapon, one common treasure weapon, three top-tier heavy treasures... Offering these to the clan will grant 110 treasure points! Yang Wu, are you willing to offer these treasures to the clan?"

"110 Treasure Points! That's almost the same price as what I found earlier!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

The treasures that are qualified to be contributed here are generally beyond the measurement of so-called 'points' and 'mixed units'.

Therefore, after contributing treasures to the clan, one is usually given corresponding contribution points.

Contribution points are divided into two levels: 'Major Treasure Points' and 'Supreme Treasure Points'.

Generally speaking, contributing a common treasure to the clan will yield between 0.5 and 1.5 treasure points.

Of course, treasures are also divided into ordinary treasures and top-level treasures. Even within the same category, their value can vary greatly depending on their function and power.

Among the many treasures, those classified as "Domain," "Palace," and "Soul" are the most precious, generally comparable to or even exceeding the value of other treasures of a higher level.

Contributing even the most common treasure to the clan will yield approximately one treasure point.

The exchange rate between Treasure Points and Supreme Treasure Points will fluctuate. Generally speaking, 1 Supreme Treasure Point is equivalent to between 3,000 and 4,000 Treasure Points.

As for the current exchange rate, it is 3250 Heavy Treasure Points for every 1 Treasure Point.

"The more valuable the treasure, the better, as long as it is converted into strength!"

"I do!" Yang Wu said softly, looking at the many treasures on the stone plate.

He had no attachment to that supreme treasure that even the most powerful rulers in the universe coveted.

After all, it was a longsword. Even if it was a top-tier treasure, its power in his hands was probably not as great as the Heaven-Asking Spear.

Yang Wu had barely finished speaking.

clack clack...

The stone disc suddenly split open in the center, splitting to both sides, and the many treasures that Yang Wu had placed on it slowly fell below under the control of an invisible force.

The stone slab then closed up again, restoring its original state.
