Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 408 A New Simulation (To be continued)

In the years that followed, Yang Wu stayed on Zijing Island to cultivate in seclusion, while his other avatars also performed their respective duties, doing their best to comprehend the complete laws of space.

However, the complete laws of space are indeed incredibly profound. To fully comprehend them is far more difficult than understanding a single lower-level law. Otherwise, King Zhenyan and the others wouldn't have been stuck here for endless years.

Of course, with Yang Wu's current talent and comprehension, although it is still difficult for him to comprehend the laws of space, he can at least feel himself making continuous progress.

Time flies, and more than seventy years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Yang Wu's Yan God Clan clone was quietly cultivating in the Time Palace, which operated at a hundred times the speed of time flow.

Although operating the Time Palace at a hundred times the time flow rate is extremely resource-intensive, Yang Wu's current wealth is enough to sustain it for a very long time.

Thus, more than seventy years passed in the primordial universe, while the Yan God Clan avatar had cultivated for more than seven thousand years in the Time Palace.

However, as his strength grew, the short span of seven thousand years was no longer enough for Yang Wu to make significant progress.

……

In the quiet room within the Nine Swords Venerable Manor, the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

Although Yang Wu now owns his own residence, he still habitually places the Time Palace within the residence of the Nine Swords Venerable.

Inside the Palace of Time, the Yan God Clan avatar, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

"The number of simulations has finally been refreshed!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Since the Time Palace came into existence, when has he ever waited so long for a simulation experience?

However, since becoming an immortal god, the simulation interval has become ten times that of the World Lord level, requiring a full 7,200 years. Even with the existence of the Time Palace, it would still take several decades to wait.

"Fortunately, it was all worth it!" Yang Wu thought excitedly. "The longer I waited, the more amazing the gains I made in the subsequent simulations!"

"I hope I can gain enough from this simulation experience!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Yang Wu still had high expectations for this simulation experience.

Firstly, after breaking through to the Immortal God realm, his comprehension has greatly improved, and his cultivation speed will definitely be even more astonishing.

Secondly, now that there are no restrictions on breaking the original core, Yang Wu can fully comprehend the laws of space, even in the simulated experience;

The most important point is that after breaking through to the realm of immortal gods, the time in the simulated experience will definitely increase greatly, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to reach 700,000 years.

Given this long period of time, coupled with Yang Wu's current talent and comprehension, he could probably break through to become a Universe Venerable in just one simulation.

"As long as I can break through to the Universe Venerable realm, with the strength of the Flame God Clan avatar, defeating Venerable Qingyao shouldn't be too difficult!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"In this way, I can obtain the powerful treasure left to me by Master Zuoshanke, and then become even stronger, and the gap between me and those true masters of the universe will become smaller and smaller!"

With that in mind, Yang Wu immediately activated the time simulator in his mind.

"Current simulation attempt: 1. Start The Sims now?"

"Start simulation!" Yang Wu immediately commanded in his mind, selecting to start the simulation.

As soon as the simulator started, lines of text that had appeared countless times appeared on the simulator panel in front of Yang Wu.

"The characters in The Sims are created by the simulator itself, and their memories differ from those of the host. Please operate with caution."

"Please select the personality of the simulated character."

"1. Risk-taking; 2. Caution; 3. Courage."

Because this was the first simulation of the Immortal God stage, Yang Wu still chose the cautious approach without hesitation.

After all, he had just killed King Barking Mirror not long ago, causing a huge uproar within the Ancestral God Cult.

Even a fool could guess that the Machine Race, the Demon Race, and the Zerg Race all wanted him dead.

Although he was quite capable of saving his life, he had no real memories in the simulation, so he couldn't say for sure that he would be safe from the impending assassination by the three races. Therefore, he chose the cautious approach that was most likely to save his life.

As soon as Yang Wu selected the simulated personality, a large amount of text began to appear on the simulator panel.

[At 23 years old, you have become an immortal god with eternal life. Your strength ranks among the top of all immortal gods in the universe, earning you the recognition of countless cosmic venerables. At the same time, forces hostile to humanity are all eager to eliminate you.]

[At this moment, one of your avatars is still cultivating within the Time Palace at a hundred times the speed of time flow, consuming enormous amounts of resources every moment. Although your wealth is sufficient to support the Time Palace's operation for a period of time, in order to conserve resources, you have stopped your accelerated cultivation within the Time Palace.]

[In your view, you already possess eternal life, and cultivating within the Time Palace is undoubtedly an extremely wasteful use of resources. Moreover, although you possess many treasures, after distributing them among your various avatars, it's still far from enough; resources should naturally be conserved wherever possible.]

[Decades have passed since you killed the King of the Barking Mirror, who was resurrected by a super being from the Northern Frontier Alliance through time reversal. In retaliation, he even spread the news that you possess multiple supreme treasures, naturally attracting the covetous eyes of countless powerful beings throughout the universe.]

[And you, of course, are well aware of this, so when there's something that needs to be done, you always use Tingni's clone to act.]

[Although Tingni's clone is an extremely powerful and unique life form, there are very few powerful beings in the universe who can recognize its origin. In fact, it is far less eye-catching than your main body and the Yan God Clan clone.]

[Of course, your most important task right now is to become a Universe Venerable, defeat Venerable Qingyao, and obtain the treasure left to you by Master Zuoshanke. So there's nothing too important to do; instead, you can focus on cultivating within the Ancestral God Sect.]

[At 24 years old, time has no bearing on cultivation; ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye. During these ten thousand years, many important events have occurred.]

[First, you received a communication request from your soul servant, the Black Crow King, who told you that someone wanted to collect all Earthlings into a world ring. After he stopped you, you discovered that the person was actually a King-level powerhouse within the human race.]

[You immediately suspected that the other party had been possessed by the soul of a powerful alien, who wanted to take away the Earthlings to blackmail them and set a trap to assassinate you. So, while ordering the Black Crow King to capture the other party, you also informed your teacher, the Dragon Lord, of this information.]

Although the Black Crow King was stronger than the newcomer, the newcomer was nonetheless accompanied by several immortal gods, who were able to remain unharmed by the Black Crow King.

[Then, the Lord of Dragons informs you that those who went to Earth were not powerful figures controlled by alien souls, but rather powerful warriors from the Giant Axe Arena. Only then are you relieved, and you travel to Earth with your teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable, to investigate.]

When you arrive on Earth, your friend Luo Feng has already arrived and is currently communicating with a powerful figure from the Giant Axe Arena. You then learn that the other party intends to purchase all ownership of the Earth lineage from Luo Feng.

[How can the homeland of the strong be sold to others? In your eyes, the actions of the several King-level Immortals from the Giant Axe Arena are undoubtedly a huge provocation. But unexpectedly, just as you were preparing to punish them, another High-Level Universe Venerable from the Giant Axe Arena arrived.]

You initially thought the opponent intended to intimidate you with sheer power, and were preparing to summon your most powerful avatar, Tingni, to suppress them. Unexpectedly, the Cosmic Venerable from the Giant Axe Arena took the initiative to apologize to you and even punished one of his own Immortal Kings.

Seeing this, you decided to let the matter drop and inquired about the reason for wanting to buy Earth. After some discussion, you learned that Earth was actually created under the guidance of Master Zuoshanke, and that life born on it would have greater potential in terms of soul and mind.

Seeing this, your friend Luo Feng, knowing he couldn't retain full ownership of Earth, wanted to transfer it to you. You, of course, refused, instead comforting him, assuring him that you would take responsibility for everything and would never relinquish ownership of Earth.

[Subsequently, representatives from all five major human factions, led by cosmic overlords, appeared to negotiate the ownership of Earth. Meanwhile, the Virtual Universe Company, under the orders of the Chaos City Lord, declared that everything was up to you.]

Faced with Earth's potential to enhance soul potential, the top leaders of the five major powers all wanted a piece of the pie. Although Earth was useless to these powerful individuals, they still had descendants and naturally hoped for a higher probability of geniuses emerging from among them!

However, Earth is your home, and you are naturally unwilling to relinquish ownership of it, thus you have been arguing your case. Although your talent is exceptionally remarkable, the combined strength of the other four major powers has still put some pressure on you.

Therefore, the final outcome of the discussion was that you designated the former Australian continent as a public area, where non-Earthling humans could pay a certain amount of wealth to travel there and raise their children. As for the four major powers' idea of ​​building floating cities above the Earth's oceans, you firmly rejected it!

Of course, after establishing Australia as a public area, Earth will also enjoy a substantial and continuous income. Luo Feng, as the ruler of Earth, originally intended to transfer this income to you, as he believed that without you, retaining even half of Earth's ownership would be a pipe dream. However, you did not accept this income. Instead, after discussing it with several friends, you used it to nurture the many geniuses emerging from Earth's lineage.

After resolving the ownership issue of Earth, you went to the Ancestral God Cult to cultivate in seclusion. The pressure from the other four major powers during the Earth ownership dispute was still fresh in your mind. Although they respected you greatly because of your potential, you were not yet a true powerhouse.

[Unexpectedly, eight hundred years after you returned to the Ancestral God Cult, a being standing at the pinnacle of the universe, the strongest being in the universe, appeared on Purple Thorn Island to assassinate you!]

[You were already in despair. After all, facing the strongest being in the universe, you couldn't even self-destruct. And while the Heaven-Burning Mirror and the will of a Universe Venerable were both very powerful, they were no different from paper in front of the strongest being in the universe.]

[But what you didn't expect was that the two-faced ancestral god who once bestowed upon you a supreme treasure actually lived right next to your residence. Just when things were at their most critical, the god suddenly appeared and saved you, forcing back the strongest being in the universe who had come to assassinate you.]

[After this ordeal, you felt even more keenly the determination of the other three major races to assassinate you. After sincerely thanking the Two-Faced Ancestral God, you returned directly to the core territory of the human race to cultivate alone, deciding to reveal yourself only after becoming a Universe Venerable. The only one remaining in the outside world is a soulless avatar of Ting Ni, whose identity has been concealed, thus greatly ensuring your safety for the time being.]

Time continued to pass, and one day, you suddenly received an email from your friend Luo Feng.

[In the email, Luo Feng tells you that he has most likely perished and asks you to help take care of his family and lead the Earth lineage forward.]

[At this moment, you suddenly realize that you and Luo Feng have not been in contact for over five thousand years. While five thousand years is nothing in the long history of the universe, it is still far too long for geniuses like you and Luo Feng, whose cultivation periods are relatively short.]

After receiving Luo Feng's email, you first sought out your teacher, the Dragon Lord, hoping he could resurrect him. However, the Dragon Lord told you that Luo Feng had not perished, and you also learned that Luo Feng's soul servants on Earth were still alive.

[You begin using your privileges to search for the last place Luo Feng appeared, only to find it inside the Star Tower, the most powerful treasure you once abandoned to acknowledge as your master.]

Upon learning this news, a slight thought crossed your mind. You immediately had your Yan God Clan avatar teleport directly to the core area of ​​the Star Tower through the Divine Kingdom, finally meeting Puti and Luo Feng who were waiting there. Luo Feng was currently at a crucial juncture in recognizing the Star Tower as his master, facing immense pressure, and naturally unable to send a message to the outside world.

Meanwhile, you also learn from Puti that Luo Feng's process of recognizing the Star Tower as his master has lasted for five thousand years, which you find utterly unbelievable. In your opinion, even for a truly supreme treasure, the process of recognizing its master shouldn't be so rigorous, right?

Watching Luo Feng as he was recognizing his master in the Star Tower, you found yourself unexpectedly filled with a sense of loss. Of course, your strongest feeling was worry for your friend Luo Feng. Your senior brother, Puti, had also told you that Luo Feng's situation wasn't looking too good.

However, during the process of recognizing a master in the Star Tower, you can only rely on your own abilities. You cannot help the other party and can only return to the human territory to cultivate diligently.

[Hundreds of years have passed. Your friend Luo Feng has finally completed the trial, surviving the Star Tower's process of recognizing its master and becoming a disciple of the Mountain-Sitting Guest as well. Of course, you know very well that with the Star Tower, this supreme treasure, Luo Feng's future achievements will undoubtedly be astonishing.]

After all, even the strongest beings in the universe would be powerless to stop someone hiding in the Star Tower.

[At 25 years old, during this time you continued to cultivate diligently, and your understanding of the laws of space deepened continuously.]

Recently, your friend Luo Feng, after completing the Star Tower's recognition of his master, has gradually demonstrated his astonishing talent. Also a Realm Lord, he has made a name for himself in the universe. Of course, he is still slightly inferior to you, after all, your cultivation period is much shorter.

However, the gap between you and Luo Feng is getting smaller and smaller!

I encountered a problem with the creative process.

I'm not quite sure how to arrange it. After all, the protagonist's simulation is over, and the original universe war is over. There are too many variables. I need to think about it carefully. I'll try to write a good sequel tomorrow.
