Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 415 Earth

In a manor within the Taichu District of Yuxiang Mountain in the virtual universe.

Yang Wu, dressed in loose casual clothes, sat quietly at the edge of the training ground, holding a glass of fruit wine in his hand, and watched with a smile the two figures fighting in the field.

In the training ground, a handsome young man wearing dark blue armor emitted streaks of blue light, and a hazy lightning field enveloped him. His figure was elusive and unpredictable as he continuously attacked another stunningly beautiful woman wearing emerald green armor.

Despite the handsome young man's fierce attacks, the beautiful woman seemed to be handling the situation with ease, constantly defending against his attacks while also offering occasional pointers.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, the two stopped and walked to Yang Wu's side.

"Father, I lost again!" The handsome young man looked at Yang Wu, looking dejected.

"Hahaha!" Yang Wu laughed and said, "No matter what, your mother is an exceptionally talented genius who cultivated for hundreds of years longer than you. Defeating you is naturally no problem for her!"

This handsome young man was naturally Yang Wu's son, Yang Chen, and the one fighting against Yang Chen was naturally Yang Wu's wife, Qian Shui.

Thousands of years have passed since Yang Chen was born.

With Yang Wu's help, Qian Shui and her son Yang Chen's cultivation speed was naturally extremely fast. Now, both of them have passed the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge and are members of the Primordial Secret Realm in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Chen, you don't need to be so impatient!" Qian Shui smiled and said, "Your strength is now almost on par with mine. I think that in a while, surpassing me will be no problem at all!"

"But compared to my father's achievements, it's nothing at all!" Yang Chen said, quite disappointed.

"This..." Qian Shui was speechless after hearing Yang Chen's words.

Is Yang Chen, my son, considered a genius?

of course!

Even if he participated in the battle of the universe's top geniuses or the battle of the peerless powerhouses, Yang Chen's talent would be enough to break into the top ten of the entire universe's overall ranking.

Having cultivated for thousands of years, Yang Chen has already passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Although he had Yang Wu's help, it is enough to demonstrate Yang Chen's extraordinary abilities.

But to compare oneself to Yang Wu would be asking for trouble!

Now, thousands of years have passed, and most of the geniuses from that generation have perished, leaving only a little over a hundred.

Among these remaining geniuses, some faded into obscurity within the core of the Virtual Universe Company, while others, like Bolan and Rong Jun, gradually revealed their dazzling brilliance. Still others, like the peerless genius Luo Feng, possessed unparalleled talent and became disciples of the Chaos City Lord…

However, in Qian Shui's opinion, even the most amazing Luo Feng could not compare with Yang Wu in front of him!

"Ah Chen!" Qian Shui said helplessly, "Your father's talent is probably unparalleled even in the entire history of humankind! If you take him as your role model, you'll likely live in disappointment forever!"

"Hahaha!" Yang Wu laughed and said, "The path to becoming a strong person always requires a goal! Ah Chen has me as his goal, and even if he falls slightly short in the future, he will probably still achieve considerable success!"

"Father is right!" Yang Chen quickly and earnestly replied, feeling extremely happy to receive Yang Wu's approval.

Yang Wu looked at the scene before him with a smile on his face.

To be honest, being stuck at the Venerable stage for thousands of years was somewhat expected, but Yang Wu still felt a little disappointed.

But now, with his family by his side, Yang Wu's heart has gradually calmed down.

After all, with his current strength, he is already capable of protecting everything around him. As for the various crises to come, they are still far away, and he has enough time to grow, so there is no need to be too anxious.

"Although I'm stuck at the Venerable stage, it might not be a bad thing for me!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Throughout the many simulations he has experienced over the years, he has been trapped in the process of comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, but this has not been a waste of time.

Yang Wu's comprehension of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau also provided him with considerable assistance, enabling him to make astonishing progress in the eight fusion laws. He also created two sets of ultimate secret techniques for cosmic venerables, which can be considered as "some achievement".

However, the thought in Yang Wu's mind only flashed by.

"Father, I still have some doubts about the laws of time!" Yang Chen asked earnestly from the side.

Since he had the rare opportunity to meet his father, he naturally wanted to seize the time to ask him for advice.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Wu began to instruct his son Yang Chen on his cultivation.

Qian Shui, standing beside her, looked at the scene before her with incredibly gentle eyes.

……

While Yang Wu was instructing his son on cultivation in the virtual universe, in the distant Qianwu Universe Kingdom, on Pluto in the solar system.

Pluto, in an extremely quiet glacier.

By this time, Pluto had already changed due to the rise of humankind. However, because it was quite far from Earth, it was not transformed into a planet suitable for life, but instead became a tourist destination.

"Buzz!!"

With a spatial tremor, a hazy red light suddenly shone, causing the surrounding space to ripple slightly.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten powerful beings, some dressed in magnificent robes and others in ancient armor, emerged from the hazy light. They had different appearances, but the auras they exuded were all incredibly astonishing.

The leader among them was none other than the powerful King of Nightmare Candle, who had met Yang Wu once before.

"Hahaha!" King Nightmare laughed smugly, "I had someone place a divine power token in this solar system before, and I didn't expect it to be used so soon. It directly teleported us here through the divine kingdom!"

"Among the many cosmic venerables from my Giant Axe Arena side, we should be the first to arrive on Earth. I have finally done a service for my father!"

Although Nightmare Candle King was arrogant and conceited by nature, he was well aware that his biggest backer was his father, Venerable Fire Erosion. He was naturally quite happy to be able to help his father at this time.

The several immortal kings beside Nightmare Candle King also nodded in agreement.

"Qianwu Universe Kingdom is the territory of the Virtual Universe Company, and this solar system is indeed quite remote. Even though it has produced two peerless geniuses, Divine Might King and Luo Feng, their growth period is still very short. The strongmen of my Giant Axe Arena should not have had time to leave coordinate tokens here."

An old man with blue hair and a single horn laughed heartily, "Without the divine coordinate token, it would take others much longer to get here, so we're definitely the fastest!"

"Yes!" The black-armored woman with fish-scale-like features nodded in agreement. "The Venerable One gave us extremely little time this time. We were able to get here so quickly thanks to Senior Brother Yanzhu's prior preparations. Even if others contacted Nara Peak in the virtual universe, their sincerity was far less than our personal visit!"

"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Nightmare Candle King became even more smug.

He truly hadn't expected that a seemingly insignificant move could have such a profound impact.

"Senior Brother Nightmare Candle King!" A rather hoarse voice came from the mouth of a lean man with a lizard's head: "What do we do next? Just give the order, and we'll all listen to you!"

"Since all of you junior brothers and sisters have said so, then I will give the order directly!" Nightmare Candle King said seriously.

At this moment, a total of six King-level Immortals and twelve Marquis-level Immortals under the command of Venerable Fiery Fire arrived here. All of Venerable Fiery Fire's disciples naturally showed him the utmost respect.

Although Nightmare Candle King wasn't particularly powerful, he was, after all, the only son of the Fiery Venerable, and everyone naturally treated him with the utmost respect. Furthermore, their swift arrival in the Solar System was largely due to Nightmare Candle King's prior preparations, so they naturally prioritized his needs.

"Ninth Junior Brother!" Nightmare Candle King suddenly shouted.

"Senior Brother Nightmare Candle!" the old man with green hair and a single horn quickly replied.

"Since Luo Feng has already become the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, we shouldn't be too rude!"

Nightmare Candle King solemnly said, "Among us, you are the strongest. This time, you will negotiate with Luo Feng to acquire all ownership of Earth. Although Luo Feng has become a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he is still of native origin. You might as well ask for a higher price; I think he is unlikely to refuse!"

If possible, King Nightmare would certainly like to take this opportunity to teach King True Path a lesson, but now Luo Feng's status and position are no longer what they used to be, so he is not so easy to offend him.

"Senior Brother Nightmare Candle!" The blue-haired, one-horned old man frowned and asked, "What if Luo Feng still refuses to sell all ownership of Earth?"

"Hmph!" Nightmare Candle King snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, we'll take the other Earthlings away and use that to threaten them!"

"No!" the wiry man with the lizard's head exclaimed hastily. "Senior Brother Yanzhu, Earth is also the homeland of the Divine Might King. If we take away other Earthlings, we'll seriously offend him!"

Upon hearing the words "Divine Might King," all the other immortal gods felt a chill run down their spines, and even Nightmare Candle King was filled with astonishment.

Even now, he still can't believe that the little world lord who ignored him thousands of years ago has grown to the point that even his father is extremely wary of him.

Before coming to Earth, the warnings of Venerable Fiery were still vivid in his mind, and he had no choice but to believe this fact.

"What's there to be afraid of!" Nightmare Candle King suddenly spoke up, "Although that Divine Might King is also an Earthling, the Earth's lord is, after all, Luo Feng. We just shouldn't offend him. At worst, after we acquire ownership of Earth, we can ask Father to ease the tension with him!"

"My father is, after all, a disciple of the Lord of Void Gold and a High-Level Universe Venerable. Even though the Divine Might King has amazing talent, he still has to give him some face!"

"If we simply take control of the Earth and force the issue, they'll be powerless to do anything about it!"

"Okay!" the others nodded in agreement.

"Haha, fellow disciples, now that we've made a plan, to prevent any unforeseen complications after Luo Feng returns to Earth and discovers us, let's temporarily go outside the solar system and wait!"

Nightmare Candle King then looked at the green-haired, one-horned old man and smiled, "Ninth Junior Brother, send us away first, then go and contact Nara Peak!"

"Haha, no problem!" After the blue-haired elder finished speaking, he released immortal divine power to envelop the surrounding immortal gods, intending to teleport away directly.

But at that moment, the surrounding space was completely sealed off.

Immediately, a powerful immortal divine force swept over Nightmare Candle King and the others.

"What?"

"What's going on?" The Nightmare Candle King, the green-haired one-horned old man, and many other immortal gods were all shocked.

"It's immortal divine power, and the newcomer can cast spatial seals, so his strength must be astonishing!" the lean man with the lizard head said coldly.

"Another King-level Immortal has arrived. Could they be powerful figures under the command of other Universe Venerables? But how come they arrived so quickly?" Nightmare Candle King's expression changed slightly.

"Perhaps other powerful beings under the command of other universe lords also left coordinate tokens here!" the woman in black armor said with a frown.

Whoosh!

Just then, a streak of light suddenly shot down from the starry sky, and a figure appeared abruptly in front of Nightmare Candle King and the others.

This is a figure with a face covered in black fur, revealing only one emerald green eye, resembling a large bird.

He was shrouded in a black robe, radiating an incredibly powerful aura. He alone put immense pressure on the Nightmare Candle King's forces.

"The Black Crow King?"

"The Black Crow King!"

Upon seeing the figure shrouded in black robes, Nightmare Candle King and the others were all startled, and some even called out the name of Black Crow King.

Although the Black Crow King is also a King-level Immortal, he is the most troublesome King-level peak Soul Master. There have even been King-level peak experts who have fallen at his hands. His strength is far greater than theirs.

"Black Crow King!" The green-haired, one-horned elder frowned. "You dare to trespass into the core territory of my human race? Aren't you afraid that the strongest among my human races will appear and kill you?"

"Hahaha!" The Black Crow King laughed loudly and said, "I am now a member of the Virtual Universe Company, guarding Earth on my master's orders. I think you people who sneaked here are the ones with ulterior motives!"

"However, now that I've revealed myself, you'd better wait for my master to show up and deal with you!"

"Master?" Nightmare Candle King and the others were slightly taken aback.

Kings are extremely proud and would never address another powerful being as their master. The fact that this has happened indicates that the Black Crow King has been possessed by someone's soul!

"Who exactly is controlling the Black Crow King?"

"I heard that thousands of years ago, the Black Crow King was killed by a powerful member of the Flame God Clan, the God of Slaughter, and fell into a deep slumber!"

The Nightmare Candle King and the others discussed this amongst themselves.

Just then—

"Boom!"

Ripples spread across the starry sky once more, and a vast pressure suddenly descended, as if a group of ants were facing a divine dragon. The pressure made Nightmare Candle King and the others unable to muster any thought of resistance.

Immediately, a blurry figure gradually solidified in the void. He was wearing purple-gold armor, with faint phantom images of strange beasts flashing behind him, and he held an ancient spear in his hand. This person was Yang Wu, who had come after receiving a message from the Black Crow King.

"The moment has finally arrived!"
