Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 381 Reversing Time

"While Earth has undergone some recent modifications, it's still quite ordinary compared to the meticulously terraformed planets in the universe!"

The Lord of Chaos frowned slightly: "Apart from that, this Earth doesn't seem to have anything unusual about it!"

The Lord of Chaos City controls a region of space-time. Logically speaking, if there were anything unusual about Earth, he should have discovered it long ago.

However, in his perception, there was nothing special about Earth.

He only noticed some of the modifications and developments that Earthlings have made to the planet in the last few hundred years.

"Could it really just be a coincidence?" the Chaos City Lord wondered to himself.

It would be one thing if one or two geniuses appeared, but four unparalleled geniuses appeared in the same era, and even the worst one among them, Thor, could be considered an unparalleled genius among the human race for thousands of epochs.

Such geniuses are rare, even on those super planets renowned throughout the universe. It would be quite remarkable if even one such genius appeared over countless years!

After all, the universe is vast and boundless, and a single planet is like a speck of dust in the starry sky compared to it.

After much thought, the Lord of Chaos City felt that the possibility of it being a coincidence was very low, and that there might be some secrets on this earth that he had not yet discovered.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Chaos City suddenly became serious.

"rise!"

Looking at the vast void around him, the Lord of Chaos City suddenly had a thought, which caused time in the entire void to begin to flow backward rapidly, and scenes appeared as if playing in reverse.

The figures of Yang Wu and his three companions soon appeared on the screen.

"Hmm? Yang Wu and his group seem quite interested in these Earthlings from their hometown!"

Seeing Yang Wu and the others helping the Earthlings grow, the Lord of Chaos City was slightly moved: "With such a mindset, as long as my human race treats them sincerely, they will naturally work hard for the rise of my human race."

Soon, the scene shifts to Yang Wu giving the Golden Horned Beast to Luo Feng to possess.

In the scene, Yang Wu and Luo Feng stand side by side in the wilderness, discussing matters related to possessing the Golden Horned Beast.

Of course, because of the time reversal, their communication is also reversed. For example, when Luo Feng speaks, he used to say "Brother Yang," but now he says "Brother Yang"...

The scene at this moment was exactly what happened before Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast. From the conversation between Yang Wu and the other man, the Lord of Chaos City already knew about the process of Luo Feng possessing the Golden Horned Beast.

"It seems that Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast at this time!"

"However..." the Chaos City Lord thought to himself, "Even if he possessed the Golden Horned Beast, it's still quite remarkable that he's grown to this level!"

Although the number of cosmic behemoths is extremely small, some cosmic behemoths may never encounter another cosmic behemoth in their entire lives.

However, looking at the entire universe, there are still many cosmic behemoths, after all, they are still life forms capable of reproduction.

Although the Golden Horned Beasts possess amazing talents, not every Golden Horned Beast can reach the level of Luo Feng.

Possessing a higher form of life merely makes it easier to evolve one's own body and to sense the fundamental laws of the universe.

Just like the Demon Slayer race, some beings may reach the nineteenth level of the spatial laws and be able to use the ability of teleportation based on their talent in the fundamental laws of space, without having to comprehend the ability of teleportation like other ordinary beings.

To break through to immortality, or even to become a cosmic sovereign, one must fully comprehend a lower-level law, or even a higher-level law!

At this point, talent is no longer useful; a higher level of comprehension is required.

Just like the Golden Horned Beasts, some Golden Horned Beasts cannot break through to immortality in their entire lives, while others can become cosmic venerables or even cosmic masters.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, Luo Feng's ability to comprehend a trace of the Beast God's intent within hundreds of years was due not only to the talents he received from his various avatars, but also to his own remarkable comprehension.

Time passed slowly, and soon the Lord of Chaos City had already flipped through to the Great Nirvana period, and even the era before the Great Nirvana...

"Could it be that the appearance of Yang Wu and his group is due to a major upheaval on Earth during this period?" the Chaos City Lord wondered to himself.

Just as top-tier powerhouses are more likely to emerge in the early stages of the universe.

Hundreds of years ago, when humans on Earth were just beginning to learn about cultivation, they were also facing a war with monsters. It was easier for strong individuals to emerge from such life-or-death crises.

"However, even in the face of a life-or-death crisis, it's impossible for four such brilliant geniuses to appear, right?" The Chaos City Lord was quite speechless.

The terrifying gap between life and death makes it easier for the strong to break through.

But if so many geniuses could truly emerge from a life-or-death crisis, then such a divine gift wouldn't be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, perhaps only happening once every tens of thousands or even millions of epochs!

Time and spacetime continue to flow backward.

The Lord of Chaos City tried to find more information to verify his guesses.

dynastic changes, tribal hunting, and even the origin of life...

No matter how time is reversed, Earthlings are no different from life forms born on other life-bearing planets, except that they evolved faster!

Whoosh!

With a thought, the Lord of Chaos City immediately stopped the time reversal, and everything returned to reality.

"Perhaps we should send the giant axe to investigate; maybe it will uncover some secrets we don't know about!" The Chaos City Lord thought to himself after ultimately finding nothing.

As one of the most powerful universe lords in the entire primordial universe, and holding great power over the entire virtual universe company, the Lord of Chaos City can be said to know very little about the universe.

But there are only a very few 'strongest beings in the universe' that he cannot compare to.

If the ruler of the universe can control a spacetime, then the strongest being in the universe is even more powerful, whose words carry the weight of law, and whose presence even causes the laws governing the universe to temporarily retreat!

In the spacetime controlled by the strongest beings in the universe, their will is the supreme law.

If fire can freeze people to death, then it can freeze people to death.

If you say a star should disappear, and a planet will release endless light, then all of that will happen immediately.

Of course, this privilege was granted by the original universe, and if one were to truly defy the laws governing the universe, one would naturally be completely suppressed.

"However, my trip wasn't in vain!" The Chaos City Lord laughed heartily, thinking about the many things that happened to Yang Wu and the other three when time had reversed.

All four have good character and are worth cultivating by the human race.

"Yang Wu already has Long Xing as his teacher, and as for Luo Feng, he can become my disciple!" The Chaos City Lord secretly planned in his heart.

……

Virtual universe, at the top of Thunder Island.

Within the palace shrouded in endless chaotic energy, two imposing figures stood side by side: the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Dragon Journey.

"Chaos, what important matter have you summoned me for?" the Lord of Dragons asked.

"Let's sit down and talk!" The Lord of Chaos waved his hand, and all sorts of fine wines and delicacies appeared on the table in front of the two of them.

Upon seeing the fine wine and delicacies on the table, the Lord of Dragons knew that the matter the Lord of Chaos City was about to discuss was very important. After all, if it were just an ordinary matter, a casual chat would suffice; why go to such lengths?

"Long Xing, do you know Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen?"

After the two sat down, the Lord of Chaos City asked calmly.

"Luo Feng, is that the little guy who just passed the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven?" Dragon Lord replied with some surprise. "As for Hong and Thunder God, I've never heard of them!"

The Lord of Dragons is, after all, an incredibly ancient cosmic ruler, and naturally wouldn't pay attention to the many geniuses that emerge in each era.

He only heard about Luo Feng because it had just spread rapidly throughout the universe.

"Yes, it's Luo Feng!" The Chaos City Lord nodded and said, "As for Hong and Lei Shen, they are also cosmic-level geniuses who recently joined my Virtual Universe Company. Their current cultivation speed is in no way inferior to those geniuses who appear only once every tens of thousands of epochs among our human race!"

"Oh? So many geniuses have emerged from our human race in this era? But..." The Dragon Lord was still somewhat puzzled: "Chaos, why did you summon me here...?"

These people may be talented, but they're not worth the attention of two universe masters. Besides, the Virtual Universe Company is currently under the control of the Chaos City Lord, who hasn't bothered with these matters for a long time.

"These three are all from the same planet as your disciple Yang Wu!" said the Chaos City Lord.

"What?" The Lord of Dragons was slightly taken aback, and many thoughts immediately flashed through his mind.

The Lord of Chaos City could imagine that Earth might hold a great secret, and he naturally had also considered this.

"I thought there might be some secrets hidden on that Earth, but when I went there in person, I found nothing!" the Chaos City Lord continued.

"Then why did you call me here?" asked the Lord of Dragons.

The Lord of Chaos City was even stronger than him. If the Lord of Chaos hadn't discovered Earth's secrets, then naturally he wouldn't be able to either.

"I've already sent an email to Giant Axe. The main reason I've asked you to come here is because Yang Wu is your disciple!" the Chaos City Lord explained.

Just then, a giant savage with long, flowing hair appeared in the main hall. He was the one in charge of the Giant Axe Arena and the founder of the Giant Axe.

As soon as the strongest of the giant axe appeared, both the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Dragon Walk bowed slightly in greeting.

The Giant Axe Founder is currently the only human in the universe capable of unleashing combat power, and is the greatest asset that allows humanity to rank among the top races.

Humanity has overcome several crises throughout its history thanks to the existence of the Giant Axe Creator.

Therefore, even though the two Lords of Chaos City are super strong individuals capable of traversing the universe, they still need to show a certain degree of respect.

The strongest among them, however, took the main seat. He smiled and looked at the two Lords of Chaos City, asking, "Chaos, is there something you need from me all of a sudden?"

"A giant axe! It's like this..."

Then, the Lord of Chaos City recounted the events on Earth once again.

"So that's how it is!"

After listening to the Chaos City Lord's introduction, the Giant Axe Founder nodded slightly and said, "Then there might indeed be something special about why Earth could produce four peerless geniuses in the same era."

"I'm currently inside the spaceship awaiting the birth of a supreme treasure; it will likely take several thousand more years before I can return to the original universe!"

"However, even if that Earth is a special place, it is unrealistic for a genius as brilliant as Yang Wu to emerge."

Thinking of this, the Giant Axe Founder asked the Dragon Lord, "Dragon Lord, how is Yang Wu's cultivation progressing?"

"My disciple's comprehension is truly astonishing. In recent years, in order to break the shackles of the Star Pearl's original core, he has been diligently researching his ultimate secret technique! Now, the third form of his spear technique has already defeated the 1577th opponent I set for him, and it won't be long before he creates the third ultimate secret technique!"

"Yang Wu's progress is truly astonishing!" The Chaos City Lord exclaimed in admiration after hearing the Dragon Lord's words.

He created his own ultimate secret technique, and although it was only the first three moves, it was still a testament to his unparalleled talent.

After all, even most cosmic venerables only use peak-level secret techniques.

"This is also what I'm worried about!" said the founder of the giant axe. "Yang Wu has achieved such astonishing accomplishments in just a few hundred years; his achievements are truly remarkable. Even compared to the original ancestor, he is probably not inferior!"

"As the most outstanding genius in the history of our human race, his arrogance is beyond imagination!"

"After all, Earth is his home planet. If it's truly special, our intervention might displease him!"

"This matter definitely needs to be considered carefully!" The Chaos City Lord nodded in agreement.

As for the Lord of Dragons, he did not express any opinion. After all, Yang Wu was his disciple, and whatever he said would be somewhat inappropriate.

"But there's no need to worry too much!" The Giant Axe Founder smiled. "Perhaps that Earth isn't anything special! In any case, let's deal with the matter of Earth after I return to the primordial universe to investigate!"

"Yes!" The Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Dragon Walk both nodded.

For powerful beings like them, who possess endless lifespans, thousands of years is but a fleeting moment.

……

While the Chaos City Lord and others were researching the secrets of Earth, Yang Wu once again entered a period of seclusion for cultivation.

"Now that Luo Feng has begun to show his talent, Earth will surely attract the attention of the super-powerful beings of the human race!"

"Although with my current abilities, I can barely retain ownership of Earth, it's still not entirely secure!"

"The best way is to break through the shackles of the original core as soon as possible and achieve immortality!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"Even the Venerable Ancestral Tree could create ultimate secret techniques, breaking through shackles to achieve immortality. With the help of the time simulator, I possess a hundred times more time than him!"

"If Venerable Zushu could do it, I certainly can too!"

Compared to him, the conditions of the Ancestral Tree Venerable when he was at the World Lord level were far inferior, after all, he had obtained the resources of a top-tier treasure weapon.

That alone puts him ahead of countless geniuses!

"Regardless of the circumstances..."

"Success is the only option; failure is not an option! I absolutely cannot abandon my current many clones to seize other lives!"

Yang Wu made up his mind and then began to cultivate in peace.

……

In the days that followed, Yang Wu would occasionally use his Yan Shen Clan avatar to challenge some powerful figures on the extraterrestrial battlefield, sometimes send his Ting Ni avatar to explore the Ancestral Mystic Realm, and occasionally meet with friends and family in the virtual universe...

As for Yang Wu's true form on Earth, he stayed in the Time Palace to cultivate at a hundred times the speed of time flow, while also constantly refreshing the simulation count on the time simulator.

One hundred years, two hundred years... five hundred years...

Time flies like water!

Actually, I originally wanted to write about Earth in detail at this point, but some readers felt it was too bland, so I simply moved on to the next one, which is also the last story before Immortality!

Finally, I'd like to recommend a book: "Swallowing the Stars: The Lord of Heavenly Mystery". I've read it; it doesn't start on Earth, and there aren't many parts that contradict the original text. The author's attitude is also very good. If you're interested, you can check it out.
