Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 422 The Invitation of the Nine Swords Venerable

As time passed, news of Yang Wu's killing of the Fiery Venerable's avatar and his acquisition of top-tier cosmic overlord strength gradually spread among the human race.

Of course, although the news has spread, it is at most circulating among the human race's high-ranking members.

Even the most powerful beings in the human race have vaguely learned of this news.

……

Virtual Universe, Hongmeng City, Inner City.

Inside a vast hall, three figures were conversing.

Two of them looked remarkably like Earthlings. One had long, reddish-brown hair, clear skin, black eyes, and a vertical line between his eyebrows. The other was less than three meters tall, dressed in a full suit of emerald green armor, and had an ordinary appearance, but exuded an astonishing aura of power.

If Yang Wu were here, he would recognize two of these three people in real life: the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace and Venerable Ancestral Tree.

As for the other person, it is the Star Prison Demon Lord, whose strength is comparable to that of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master among the human race.

These three are the only three top cosmic overlords in the human race, and they have made countless contributions to the human race over countless years.

After all, the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord is comparable to that of a newly advanced cosmic lord, but if they die, they can be resurrected by reversing time and space.

Therefore, when the human race encounters any troublesome matters, it is often the three members of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace who handle them.

"That's incredible!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace downed his glass of fruit wine in one gulp, and couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that in just a few thousand years, that little guy who was only at the cosmic level back then would have grown to a point where he could rival us!"

The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace has been guarding the Blood Luo World for countless years, and he naturally has a memory of the scene when Yang Wu left the Blood Luo World thousands of years ago.

When Yang Wu was waiting for the Nine Swords Venerable in the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, he had helped him a little, which made Yang Wu more familiar with the complete laws of fire.

But Yang Wu has reached such heights in just a few thousand years, something he never imagined.

"Indeed!" Venerable Ancestral Tree waved his hand, refilling the wine cup that Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse Palace had just set down with fruit wine, and then said, "I also had a brief encounter with Yang Wu once; his talent and comprehension are indeed astonishing!"

"To possess the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord in such a short time is truly unbelievable!"

In fact, Venerable Ancestral Tree is a rare and exceptional genius among the human race.

Even super geniuses like Coty and Shi Huo are slightly inferior to him.

After all, before Yang Wu appeared, there were dozens of super geniuses in the human race who had fused with the Star Bead, but he was the only one who was able to break through the shackles and become an immortal god!

As for the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master and the Star Prison Demon Lord, although their talents are also very strong, they have never fused with the Star Pearl. As for being able to give birth to clones with extremely high levels of life genes, it is also due to other opportunities.

However, it took the Venerable Ancestral Tree millions of years to become an immortal god. Although he quickly became a Cosmic Venerable after becoming an immortal god, he only achieved that by virtue of his high level of life genes, thus gaining the strength of a high-level Cosmic Venerable.

As for becoming a cosmic overlord, or even a top cosmic overlord, that is something that comes after a long period of secluded cultivation.

But what about Yang Wu?

From birth to now, I have only cultivated for a few thousand years!

"Alright!" the Star Prison Demon Lord on the other side immediately said, "It's something to celebrate that our human race can produce such a genius!"

"Moreover, the fact that the Divine Might Venerable possesses the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord is also a good thing for the three of us!"

"right!"

"That's true!"

Upon hearing the Star Prison Demon Lord's words, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master and the Ancestral Tree Venerable nodded in agreement.

After all, top-tier cosmic overlords of the human race are extremely rare. Although the strength of the three of them is considered extremely powerful even among top-tier cosmic overlords, it is still impossible for two fists to fight against four hands.

Even when occasionally venturing into secret realms of the universe, it is difficult to find companions of comparable strength.

Although there are some top-tier cosmic overlords within the Hong Alliance, none of them are as reassuring as companions from the same race.

"However!" The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace changed the subject, saying, "That Divine Might Venerable's cultivation time is far too short. He might soon become a new Universe Lord among our human race, and then there will be only the three of us left!"

Among the three top cosmic overlords of the human race, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master has existed for the longest time. He even existed before some of the cosmic lords of the human race were born.

Therefore, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace had a clearer understanding of Yang Wu.

"Indeed, Lord of the Universe!" Venerable Ancestral Tree sighed in agreement, "I wonder when we'll be able to break through?"

The Venerable Ancestral Tree was the youngest of the three, yet he remained stuck at this realm for countless years, unable to break through.

Upon hearing Venerable Ancestral Tree's words, both the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse and the Demon Lord of Star Prison showed expressions of longing.

At their level, all they pursue is breakthrough!

Although top cosmic overlords can be resurrected by reversing time after their fall, they would certainly prefer to become the ruler of the universe if possible!

Of course, becoming the master of the universe is indeed an extremely difficult thing, and it cannot be achieved simply by having talent or having a stroke of luck.

The human race has thousands of cosmic venerables, but the number of cosmic lords does not exceed twenty. Even such a ratio is envied by countless races in the universe.

……

Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom, a rather dangerous secret realm in the universe.

At this moment, the Nine Swords Venerable, the "Chaos Monument Guardian" Kandri, and the Azure Dragon Venerable were still exploring the secret realm.

Just after news of Yang Wu killing the avatar of the Fire Erosion Venerable spread, the three members of the Nine Swords Venerable also received the news.

For a moment, the three of them, including the Nine Swords Venerable, were all stunned.

God!

How much time has passed?

Before the three of them had even finished exploring the secret realm, they discovered such astonishing news.

You should know that although they had heard news about Yang Wu before, they regarded him more as an extremely outstanding junior in the human race!

But now, this former junior has grown to a height that even they have to look up to!

"How long has it been? Yang Wu's strength has already surpassed mine?"

Even the Nine Swords Venerable, who was extremely familiar with Yang Wu's strength, was shocked at this moment.

The Nine Swords Venerable knew very well that Yang Wu's strength would soon surpass his.

But this is way too fast!

The scene of Yang Wu giving him the treasure armor was still vivid in his mind. Over the years, the Nine Swords Venerable had been working hard to explore the secret realm, hoping to accumulate more treasure points so that he could help his disciple Yang Wu.

It seems that he can no longer help his disciple.

At this moment, the Nine Swords Venerable felt exactly the same way as the Golden Light Marquis had felt back then, feeling both gratified and slightly regretful.

"Nine Swords!" Kander looked at the Nine Swords Venerable with a hint of envy and said, "You little rascal, you've really hit the jackpot!"

"With Venerable Divine Might's terrifying cultivation speed, becoming a supreme ruler of the universe is probably only a matter of time!"

"If the future Divine Might Venerable gives you a little help, your strength will probably surpass mine!"

It's important to know that as a cosmic overlord with exceptional survival skills among the human race, Kandri rarely envies other powerful individuals.

Even when Yang Wu gifted a supreme armor to the Nine Swords Venerable, he wasn't too envious.

After all, he has the ability to create clones and is quite powerful. With the accumulation of countless years, even among the many cosmic overlords of the human race, he is one of the people with the most resources.

However, he has now begun to envy the Nine Swords Venerable!

It should be noted that although there are quite a few universe masters among the human race, they are still very few compared to the large number of universe venerables.

Under normal circumstances, the universe masters in the human race will select some universe venerables to take as disciples. However, there are only a few universe masters in the human race. Even if they take disciples, how many can they take?

Therefore, many cosmic venerables within the human race have failed to become disciples of the Lord of the Universe, just like the Azure Dragon Venerable beside the two of them...

Universe Venerables like the Nine Swords Venerable and the Eclipse Venerable, who have the Lord of the Universe as their backer, naturally have a higher status among the human race. Some of those who are valued may even be bestowed with supreme treasures.

Just like the supreme weapon that the Nine Swords Venerable previously possessed, it was a gift from the Dragon Lord. Otherwise, how could someone of his high-level Venerable strength possibly possess a supreme weapon in such a short time?

But how can a disciple of the Lord of the Universe compare to the teacher of the Lord of the Universe?

"My disciple has already helped me a lot!" Nine Swords Venerable sighed from the side.

The value of that one piece of treasured armor back then already exceeded all the treasures he had accumulated over the long years!

Back then, Yang Wu didn't have the strength he has now, yet he still gave the treasured armor to his teacher without hesitation.

It can be said that taking Yang Wu as his disciple was the wisest decision he had made in his long life.

"Nine Swords!"

Listening to the conversation between the Nine Swords Venerable and the Azure Dragon Venerable, the Azure Dragon Venerable suddenly said, "The three of us are exploring this secret realm a little slowly. I wonder if you could invite the Divine Might Venerable to join us?"

Unlike Kandri, the Azure Dragon Venerable had never met Yang Wu, so he was naturally curious about Yang Wu, who could be called the most legendary super genius in the history of the human race.

Most importantly, the Azure Dragon Venerable also hoped to take this opportunity to forge a good relationship with Yang Wu, the future super strongman of the human race, so that he could have a powerful backer in the future.

Upon hearing this, Kandri's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Nine Swords, Azure Dragon's suggestion is excellent!"

"If Venerable Shenwei is willing to explore the secret realm with us, he can take 70% of the spoils, and the three of us can split the remaining 30% equally!"

Kandri believed that he had also thought of the same thing as the Azure Dragon Venerable, and had shown great sincerity in doing so.

It should be noted that over the past few thousand years, half of the three's harvest was taken by Kandri, while the other half was taken by the Nine Swords Venerable and the Azure Dragon Venerable.

"This..." Nine Swords Venerable hesitated.

Seeing this, Kandri quickly continued, "Nine Swords, exploring the secret realm will also benefit Venerable Divine Might!"

"Although Venerable Shenwei is powerful, his cultivation speed is simply too fast. He probably doesn't have much experience in exploring secret realms and acquiring resources. If he could explore secret realms with us, it would surely bring many benefits!"

"That's true!" The Nine Swords Venerable nodded seriously, then said, "I'll give it a try and see if Yang Wu is really interested in coming here!"

……

On the other side, while Yang Wu was pondering what he should do, he suddenly received an email from his teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Hmm? Master Nine Swords Venerable is looking for me? Could it be because of things on Earth?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

Although the problems on Earth have now been perfectly resolved, Yang Wu has never forgotten how much help the Nine Swords Venerable gave him when dealing with Earth's problems in the simulation before he grew up!

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the Nine Swords Venerable's temple halfway up Thunder Island.

……

Halfway up Thunder Island, in the temple of the Nine Swords Venerable.

Inside the temple hall was a round table that looked as if it were carved from jade. Three figures were sitting around the table: one was the Nine Swords Venerable, and the other two were Kandri and the Azure Dragon Venerable, who had been exploring the secret realm with the Nine Swords Venerable.

Yang Wu had just arrived when he met the three Nine Swords Venerables.

At this moment, the three of them, including the Nine Swords Venerable, also saw Yang Wu and immediately got up to greet him.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu greeted the Nine Swords Venerable respectfully.

Seeing this, Kandri and Azure Dragon Venerable felt even more envious of Nine Swords Venerable.

"Yang Wu!" The Nine Swords Venerable helped Yang Wu up, then pointed to Kandri and the Azure Dragon Venerable and introduced them, "These two are both good friends of mine. You're certainly familiar with Kandri, and as for this one, he's also a good friend of mine, the Azure Dragon Venerable!"

"Divine Might Venerable!"

"Divine Might Venerable!"

At the same time, both Kandri and the Azure Dragon Venerable greeted Yang Wu with smiles.

"Kandri, Azure Dragon Venerable!" Yang Wu nodded slightly in return.

At the same time, Yang Wu was also secretly sighing to himself.

There was a time when Candri called him "little guy" when he first met him, but now he is on a completely different level!

"Yang Wu!" The Nine Swords Venerable led Yang Wu and the other two to sit down before saying, "As you know, I've been exploring a secret cosmic realm within the Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom recently, and I've made some gains over the years!"

"Now that you are strong enough, would you be willing to explore that secret realm with your master?"

"Explore the secret realm?" Yang Wu was slightly taken aback.

"I never expected such a wonderful thing to happen so soon after I was dozing off!"

He had been looking for something to do, and exploring the secret realm was indeed a good idea.

The secret realm explored by the Nine Swords Venerable and others was a place where anyone below the level of a Universe Venerable would die, which was considered quite advanced!

For Yang Wu, acquiring treasures was secondary; being able to gain experience and help the Nine Swords Venerable was certainly a good thing.

With that in mind, Yang Wu accepted the invitation from the Nine Swords Venerable.

Immediately after determining the allocation of resources, the Nine Swords Venerable personally returned to the human territory via the divine kingdom's teleportation system and brought Yang Wu to the secret realm he was exploring.

The protagonist is already so powerful, why would anyone think it was an assassination attempt...? It definitely wasn't.
