Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 399 The Road to the Future

"If I can break through to become a Universe Venerable, my comprehension will also be enhanced once again!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "With this, defeating Venerable Qingyao in a short time won't be a problem, especially with the help of the time simulator!"

Although the Mountain Guest had given himself 100,000 years, Yang Wu still felt that the sooner he completed the test, the better.

Of course, this trial is not like the one in the Beast God Realm in the original work, where Luo Feng's ability to move was restricted.

Although the Mountain-Sitting Guest left a test in the Azure Radiance Secret Realm, Yang Wu's actions were not hindered in any way, and he could leave at any time.

"The most core heritage of the Qingyan Clan is located on this Qingyao Star; you are free to browse it!"

Venerable Qingyao smiled and said, "However, given your strength, King Slaughter, you might not even be interested in these inheritances!"

In his view, with the careful nurturing of the Mountain Guest, the God of Slaughter would naturally not lack various powerful inheritances.

Moreover, the Qingyan Clan are rock-based life forms, which are fundamentally different from flesh-and-blood life forms like the God-Slaying King. Even some of their amplification techniques would probably be useless to them.

Then, Venerable Qingyao continued, "God-Slaying King, I will remain on Qingyao Star for the next 100,000 years. You are welcome to challenge me anytime!"

"I look forward to the day you defeat me!"

"Thank you, Venerable One!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.

"Alright, go ahead! You can choose any place to stay on Qingyao Star, or you can leave directly!" Venerable Qingyao said softly.

Yang Wu nodded slightly and then left the main hall.

"How interesting! I wonder what kind of upheaval this God-Slaying King will cause in the universe once he becomes a Universe Venerable!"

After Yang Wu left, Venerable Qingyao stood in the main hall and sighed softly.

With the God-Slaying King's life genes already at a perfect level, there is a very high possibility that he will possess the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord in the future.

A top-tier cosmic overlord holds a very special position in the universe.

Just like Venerable Qingyao, although he can be considered a cosmic overlord who can lead a race to live in peace in the vast universe, he is also very likely to encounter danger when he ventures into the universe.

However, top-tier cosmic overlords are different; even ordinary cosmic lords would find it difficult to pose a threat to them!

Moreover, and most importantly, even if a top cosmic overlord falls, he can be resurrected by the strongest being in the universe by reversing time and space!

Therefore, under certain special circumstances, a top-tier cosmic overlord may be even more intimidating than a cosmic lord!

If the God-Slaying King could possess the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord, he would indeed be able to occupy a place in this vast universe in the future!

Of course, even a top-tier cosmic overlord wouldn't make Venerable Qingyao too afraid.

Firstly, he himself is extremely powerful, and his divine body and supreme treasures are also extremely strong. Even if a top universe overlord can defeat him, it would be difficult for him to pose a fatal threat. Secondly, he has already led the Qingyan Clan to join the Northern Frontier Alliance and has many friends. Even universe lords have befriended him.

Therefore, even though the God-Slaying King was extremely impressive, Venerable Qingyao did not pay much attention to him.

After all, he was just leading the Qingyan Clan to make a living on the edge of the universe. Even if the God of Slaughter became the strongest in the universe, it probably wouldn't affect him!

But this time it was the orders of the Mountain Guest, so it was naturally very different!

In Venerable Qingyao's heart, he was extremely grateful to the guest sitting on the mountain!

Back then, Venerable Qingyao was just an immortal god with no treasures or powerful secret techniques. It was only through his strong life genes and amazingly powerful innate secret techniques that he was able to possess the ultimate combat power of a king.

During his adventures in the universe, he also met the most important friend of his life, the former leader of the Qingyan Clan, a powerful expert at the pinnacle of the King realm, the Qingyan King.

Thus, Venerable Qingyao and King Qingyan embarked on a journey through the universe together. At that time, the universe was still in its early stages of evolution, and there weren't many powerful beings. There was no struggle for territory between different races as there is now, so the two of them lived quite comfortably.

Then one day, the fall of a born beast god made countless powerful beings in the universe realize the value of his body, and the hunt began.

Subsequently, even more powerful individuals set their sights on special beings like him.

As a result, Venerable Qingyao encountered the most important crisis since his birth. Under the pursuit of a cosmic Venerable, King Qingyan risked his life to protect him, and he was able to escape temporarily.

However, his strength was still too weak at the time. Even with the sacrifice of Qingyan King, he ultimately could not escape the pursuit of that Universe Venerable.

Just when he was in despair and about to perish, the Mountain Hermit suddenly appeared and saved his life.

After that, he followed the Mountain-Sitting Guest to cultivate for a period of time until he broke through to the Universe Venerable, at which point he gained some life-saving abilities.

"Your strength is enough to protect yourself in this universe. As long as you don't provoke other powerful individuals, I imagine no one will be chasing you anymore!"

After he gained the ability to protect himself, the Mountain Hermit left behind a single sentence and then drifted away.

Of course, during the cultivation process, the Mountain-Sitting Guest did not bestow any treasures upon him, nor did he teach him any secret techniques, but Venerable Qingyao was still extremely grateful to the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

After all, in the early stages of the universe's evolution, although the number of special life forms was small, it was still much greater than it is now!

If it weren't for the appearance of the Mountain Hermit, he would probably have disappeared into the long river of time by now.

Not to mention asking the Lord of the Universe to resurrect King Qingyan and lead the Qingyan Clan to stand tall in this vast universe.

"However, it's truly fortunate that the God of Slaughter is valued by the Mountain-Sitting Guest!" Venerable Qingyao thought to himself.

He knew very well that there were many beings in the universe who had received the protection of the Mountain Lord, just like him. When he followed the Mountain Lord, other beings were also saved.

But for the Mountain Dweller, saving them was nothing more than a casual act!

Throughout countless ages, only Emperor Yan has ever openly proclaimed himself the Mountain-Sitting Guest in the vast universe.

When Emperor Yan led the Yan God Clan to break away from the human race, it caused a huge uproar in the universe.

Such acts of betraying one's clan are akin to betraying one's master and ancestors, and no clan could tolerate them.

Although the strength of the human race was slightly weakened by the disappearance of the powerful Primordial Ancestor, it was still no problem to deal with a universe master like the Flame Emperor.

But in the end, the human race chose to let the matter rest.

Over time, some powerful beings in the universe also vaguely learned the reason, which was that the Flame Emperor and the mysterious and unpredictable strongest being in the universe had a significant connection.

And Yan Di, relying on this connection and his powerful strength, held an extremely high position in the Nine Domains Alliance!

When Venerable Qingyao learned about these things, he was incredibly envious of Emperor Yan!

……

After leaving Venerable Qingyao's temple, Yang Wu naturally had no idea what the other was thinking. He was simply contemplating what he needed to do next.

"Without a doubt, the most important thing next is to break through to the Universe Venerable realm!" Yang Wu secretly planned in his heart.

Although he knew that Luo Feng in the original work had created the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe during his immortal stage.

That was because the other party was extremely compatible with the secret pattern school that had never appeared in the universe before, and with the help of the Mountain Guest, it took hundreds of millions of years to create the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.

Yang Wu, lacking both the assistance of the Beast God Realm and the unknown talent in the Secret Pattern lineage, would naturally not attempt to imitate Luo Feng's path of growth.

In fact, long before breaking through to immortality, Yang Wu had already planned his own path to becoming a strongman.

That is, to always strive for excellence and make continuous breakthroughs.

In the original work, Luo Feng was once trapped by the original core shackles at the realm master stage, and it took him nearly 100,000 years to break through to immortality; at the immortal stage, he cultivated in seclusion in the Beast God Realm for countless years, and created the ultimate secret technique of the universe master by relying on the secret pattern school.

In the later stages of becoming a Cosmic Venerable and a Cosmic Lord, Luo Feng reached the pinnacle.

Among them, he created a sixth-order secret technique with the body of a cosmic venerable. Such an achievement is extremely rare even in the Origin Continent. Otherwise, he would not have become the successor of the Duan Donghe lineage.

As for the stage of the Lord of the Universe, he reached a life gene density of 100,000 times that had never appeared on almost the entire Origin Continent, and with this he broke through to the stage of True God, which made the reincarnated God King, Zuo Shan Ke, extremely surprised!

It can be said that Luo Feng has reached the pinnacle of almost every realm.

A realm lord kills a king, an immortal kills a cosmic overlord, a venerable kills a cosmic master, and a cosmic master crushes the strongest being in the universe...

These incredible things happened to Luo Feng one after another.

Once upon a time, after activating the time simulator, Yang Wu also developed a competitive spirit, believing that he was no worse than Luo Feng and could also reach the pinnacle of every realm!

However, his experiences at the Realm Lord stage changed his mind.

Although he didn't experience a very long time in the original universe when he was at the World Lord level, the time he spent in the Time Palace and the simulated experience was far too long.

This also made Yang Wu realize that Luo Feng's kind of growth experience was not suitable for him!

"Although I am not weaker than Luo Feng at his strongest stage in the Realm Lord realm, my cultivation time is hundreds of times longer!"

"If it weren't for my extremely fortunate opportunities and the assistance of the time simulator, even if I reached the lifespan limit of the World Lord level, I wouldn't have been able to reach Luo Feng's level before breaking through to immortality!" Yang Wu shook his head inwardly.

"Compared to Luo Feng, my biggest advantage is the existence of the Time Simulator!"

"Moreover, among the many opportunities brought by the time simulator, its greatest benefit is the improvement in comprehension after a breakthrough!"

The time simulator has always played an irreplaceable role in Yang Wu's growth.

At the beginning, even though he couldn't survive to the end of each simulation, Yang Wu had already become the number one in the Peak Genius Battle and joined the Virtual Universe Company.

Even by relying on his experiences in the time simulator, Yang Wu managed to avoid some potential dangers;

But the most important point is the improvement in comprehension brought about by the time simulator after each breakthrough.

"Back when I first joined the Virtual Universe Company, I was always surpassed by Berlan and others in every simulation, and was even hailed as the 'Shame of the Primal Realm'!"

"But even now, my talent is no less than that of any peerless genius in the history of the human race, appearing only once every tens of millions of epochs. Even if I were to start all over again, I am confident that I can catch up with Bolan and others who are now lords of the Primal Secret Realm!"

Yang Wu kept recalling his past experiences.

"And in the future, with each breakthrough I make, my comprehension will also increase dramatically, perhaps even rivaling that of the Chaos City Lord, the Primordial Ancestor, or even Luo Feng!"

Yang Wu now understands very well that as time goes by, the time acceleration effect brought by the time simulator is getting weaker and weaker.

After all, if one lacks talent and comprehension, no matter how long one cultivates, one will be stuck at a certain level and unable to continue to improve.

Moreover, although there seems to be a large gap between him and Luo Feng now, the gap will become smaller and smaller as time goes by, and it is even possible that he will be caught up by Luo Feng.

"Whether in the Beast God Realm or the Cosmic Sea, the flow of time can be increased by ten thousand times, or even more!"

"In that case, my advantage in terms of time flow will be much smaller!"

"If I can't continue to improve my comprehension, I might be overtaken by Luo Feng very soon!"

Of course, given Yang Wu's current level of mental cultivation, even if his strength were surpassed by Luo Feng, it wouldn't have any impact.

But then again, who wouldn't want to be the protagonist?

"Therefore, I don't need to be like Luo Feng, striving for perfection in every realm!"

"The Immortal God stage, and even the Universe Venerable stage, can be broken through as soon as possible. After becoming the Lord of the Universe, one's comprehension will be further enhanced, and then one can study methods for breaking through the divine power path!"

"Even if I'm not as good as Luo Feng during my Immortal stage, by the time he becomes an Immortal, I might already be the Lord of the Universe!"

Thinking about this, Yang Wu suddenly felt enlightened.

"However, if I want to break through to the Universe Venerable realm as soon as possible, I still need to make some preparations!"

"The key to breaking through to the Venerable realm lies in comprehending the laws!"

"For the past few months, I've been focusing on researching ultimate techniques, neglecting my understanding of the laws. Now that I want to comprehend the laws of space as quickly as possible, I need to think of some methods!"

After a moment's thought, a sudden inspiration struck Yang Wu.

"Now that I have become immortal, my original human form can continue my journey to the Ancestral God Cult!"

"After all, my achievements in the eight Beast God Paths are most profound in the 'Fire and Void' fusion law that I studied from the beginning!"

"Now that so much time has passed, if I were to receive the inheritance of the 'Fire and Void' Beast God's Path again, perhaps I could comprehend the complete laws of space!"

Yang Wu's heart stirred slightly.

Since the original Earthling left the Ancestral God Cult, he has never returned to the Ancestral God Cult, either in reality or in simulated experiences.

Even though he chose an adventurous personality during his World Lord stage, it was still the same!

After all, taking risks is not about throwing your life away. Knowing that other alien races had laid a trap within the Ancestral God Sect, he certainly wouldn't walk right into it!

Now that Yang Wu has broken through to the Immortal realm, his ability to survive has greatly improved, so he can naturally try to go to the Ancestral God Sect.

With this in mind, Yang Wu left the token containing the divine power to assist life and immortality in a remote location on Qingyao Star, and then returned to the human territory through the divine kingdom's teleportation.

He doesn't have many treasures on him right now. Since he plans to send his Earthling body to the Ancestral God Cult, he naturally needs to transfer some of his treasures to slightly enhance the strength of his Earthling body!

After the several clones reunited, Yang Wu transferred the Heaven-Burning Mirror and the Heaven-Asking Spear to his Earthly self, and then traveled to Zijing Island via the Divine Kingdom teleportation.

The previous chapter has been slightly revised; the number of Qingyan Clan Venerables has been changed, and a time limit has been added to the test.

However, this test cannot be too difficult. After all, a similar test was given to Emperor Yan, and if it were too difficult, Emperor Yan would not have been able to pass it.

Moreover, when the Mountain Guest left this test, he probably didn't expect the protagonist to reach the level of perfect genes, so there shouldn't be any gene-related treasures for the time being.

Currently, the first treasure seems to be armor, since it's for saving your life!
