Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 512 A New Simulation (6000 words, to be updated on May 10th)

In the primordial universe, within Yang Wu's divine realm, Yang Wu, who was cultivating in the Time Palace, slowly opened his eyes.

"The human race is truly remarkable in its ability to act!"

Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Only a little over a hundred years have passed, and the headquarters of my Eternal Guild is already ready for use!"

Just now, the Nine Swords Venerable told him this news.

The Eternal Guild's Universal Headquarters, which has already been built, is roughly the same size as the other five major powers. It is currently located in the Milky Way galaxy, but not in the solar system.

After all, the solar system is the home of Earthlings, and the surrounding area has been modified by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, so it cannot be easily changed.

"After a while, my Eternal Guild will be able to get on the right track like the other five major powers. Maybe I'll even take on a few disciples!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

With his current strength and status, if he were to announce that he was recruiting disciples, even a top-tier cosmic overlord like the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master would be extremely tempted.

However, Yang Wu's cultivation time is still very short, and he has no intention of training disciples for the time being.

"However, once you reach the level of a Universe Lord, using this Time Palace for acceleration consumes an astonishing amount of divine power!"

Looking down at the endless dark sea, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh, "Ever since Tingni's clone left the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, the growth rate of my endless dark sea has slowed down considerably! Cultivating within the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space is much more enjoyable; there's absolutely no resource consumption, and how fast you can accelerate depends entirely on the strength of your will!"

It should be noted that maintaining the Time Palace at a thousand times the speed of time requires a large amount of divine power, and Yang Wu has always been using his own divine power to drive it.

Fortunately, the Endless Dark Sea is already vast enough to absorb and convert large amounts of energy from the outside world into its own divine power every moment. Therefore, even with the consumption of the Time Palace, its size is still slowly increasing.

"Of course, I've made quite a bit of progress during this time!" Yang Wu looked at the Earthling's true form quietly absorbing divine power in mid-air, and was extremely satisfied.

During this period of time, Yang Wu has been studying his own life gene level, intending to first fully grasp the secrets of the perfect gene level.

After all, if he wants to break through to the level of the strongest being in the universe in the future, he will naturally have to take the path of divine power with greater potential.

Yang Wu originally thought it would take a long time to master the secrets of the perfect life gene level, but unexpectedly, the speed of his comprehension this time was much faster than before.

In just over a hundred years, without conducting any new simulations, he had already grasped the secret of the perfect life gene level of flesh and blood life.

The divine body of the Earthling naturally expanded to a height of over 90,000 kilometers, so it returned from the original star to the divine kingdom to replenish its divine power.

Yang Wu was initially somewhat doubtful about his comprehension speed, but after thinking about it again, he felt somewhat relieved.

After all, he has now created a top-tier sixth-order secret technique, and in terms of realm alone, he can barely rival the strongest in the universe.

The strongest beings in the universe, even those who break through through the laws of nature, all possess perfect life genes.

Furthermore, given that Yang Wu also possesses the Youhai clone, the genetic map given by the Mountain Guest, and the reference of the Yan God Clan clone, it is not surprising that he has reached such a level.

"However, breaking through the limitations of the perfect life gene level will not be so easy!" Yang Wu sighed inwardly.

After all, even Luo Feng in the original work, after receiving a lot of guidance from Duan Donghe's inheritance, only broke through the limitations of the perfect life gene level after entering the Jin world and obtaining a lot of true god blood.

Before this, Luo Feng had already cultivated for a full eight million epochs in the inheritance space of the Duan Donghe lineage, and at that time Luo Feng had also created a top-tier sixth-order secret technique, so in terms of realm, he was in no way inferior to him.

"Of course, with the time simulator in my mind, that day is probably not far off!" Yang Wu thought to himself as he sensed the time simulator in his mind.

"Since the original Earthling has returned to the divine realm, why not begin a new simulation?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't conducted any new simulations since creating the sixth-order secret technique!"

When Yang Wu was cultivating in the space of the black-patterned stone pillar, he could conduct a simulation almost every 120 years, so he did not deliberately save the number of simulations.

When Yang Wu left the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space to explore the treasures in the Flowing Sand Domain, he began to accelerate within the Time Palace.

It was thought that Tingni's clone would soon be able to return to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, but who would have thought that so many things would happen next, so that Tingni's clone could only return to the original universe for the time being.

Therefore, while his clones were traveling, Yang Wu could only stay in the Time Palace to cultivate.

Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and with the remaining time since the last simulation, the number of simulations was refreshed again half a year ago.

At this moment, Yang Wu felt a faint sense of anticipation: "I wonder what kind of surprises this top-tier sixth-order secret technique will bring me in this simulation experience?"

"Perhaps I can finally complete the Duan Donghe test and obtain the Duan Donghe lineage's inheritance. Then, maybe I can let the human race obtain those precious inheritances sooner, and I can also quietly make a fortune!"

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 gave the order in his mind.

As soon as the simulator started, lines of text that Yang Wu was extremely familiar with immediately appeared on the Unreal Engine panel in front of him.

"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."

Faced with these three options, Yang Wu immediately chose the adventurous personality.

After all, with his current survival abilities, there are no dangers in the cosmic sea that can pose a fatal threat to him. As a result, the benefits of his adventurous nature are naturally the greatest.

[Simulation begins. You have now become a super-powerful being capable of traversing the universe. Countless forces in the cosmic sea and billions of races in the primordial universe praise your fame. Some consider you an unparalleled powerhouse, while others see you as a great threat. Many powerful individuals have joined the Hong Alliance led by humanity because of you. But regardless of others' opinions, they all understand that in the endless years to come, you will be a super-being capable of changing the status of humanity.]

With the help of numerous precious treasures, you will be able to fight even the strongest beings in the universe who possess supreme protective treasures. A universe lord with such power has never been seen before in the entire cosmic ocean.

[At this moment, your Tingni clone is returning to the original universe, while your Yan Shen clone, disguised, is heading towards the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space. However, since your will is now quite strong, there is naturally no need for you to continue to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space. Therefore, after disguising yourself with the Bei Qiu Crystal, your Yan Shen clone begins to roam the entire cosmic sea.]

[That year, you were cultivating in seclusion within the Divine Realm when your friend Luo Feng suddenly contacted you, saying that various forces in the Primordial Universe had dispatched their Universe Lords to a secret realm to besiege and kill a powerful Universe Lord, but the human race had not yet appeared.]

[Upon receiving the message, you immediately consulted with the other universe lords of the human race, and ultimately decided that the Lord of Ice Peak would go to cooperate with Luo Feng.]

[But what you didn't expect was that the besieged cosmic ruler actually carried a precious treasure containing information about dangerous locations throughout the cosmic sea.]

After this news was relayed back to their respective races by the lords of the universe, the super beings of all factions became even more excited, intending to use it to ignite a great war.

Unfortunately, the spacetime within that secret realm has been completely sealed off, preventing even the strongest beings in the universe from reaching it quickly. Therefore, many of humanity's super-powerful beings can only regret not sending even more powerful cosmic rulers instead.

With the help of numerous powerful treasures, Luo Feng's strength is quite formidable even among the Lords of the Universe. Furthermore, with the Lord of Ice Peak present, the human race won't suffer any significant losses.

Ultimately, the besieged cosmic lord perished. Although some unexpected events occurred, the human race, with Luo Feng and the Ice Peak Lord present, still reaped considerable rewards, obtaining maps depicting dangerous areas of the Cosmic Sea.

Meanwhile, your friend Luo Feng's strength has truly gained the recognition of many super beings in the human race, all of whom believe that Luo Feng already possesses the strength to venture into the cosmic sea.

……

Six months later, on this day, you are searching for treasures on the Primordial Star when you suddenly receive an invitation from the Two-Faced Ancestral God within the Ancestral God Cult.

[After you accepted the invitation, the Two-Faced Ancestral God hopes you can complete a rather tricky task within the Ancestral God Sect: to travel to the Cosmic Sea carrying a treasure to find the powerful being who could trigger its unusual activity. If you make any discoveries, immediately notify the Ancestral God Sect.]

[This task isn't mandatory; of course, with your current strength, no one can force you to do anything. However, considering the Ancestral God Cult's consistently friendly attitude towards you, and since this task doesn't infringe on the interests of the human race, you ultimately accepted it without hesitation.]

[Then, you placed the treasure given to you by the War Ancestor God Cult into the hands of the Flame God Clan avatar.]

Five hundred years later, in the cosmic sea, you finally encounter a powerful being capable of triggering the anomaly of that treasure. To your surprise, this being is actually the strongest being in the universe, protected by an ultimate treasure armor.

Despite your surprise, you quickly informed the Ancestral God Sect after learning of this news. The Ancestral God Sect responded immediately, hoping that while you continued searching for the source of the treasure's unusual activity, you could also gather as much information as possible about the strongest being in the universe. Obtaining a piece of their blood would be ideal.

[To obtain the blood of the universe's strongest being, protected by an armor of supreme power? While you already possess strength comparable to the universe's strongest, you've never had such confidence. You initially intended to refuse, but the Two-Faced Ancestral God tells you that these matters are guided by the primordial will of the universe. If you can perfectly complete this task, the primordial will of the universe will bestow upon you a treasure; even a supreme treasure is not impossible.]

After receiving this promise, you finally gave in.

Another thousand years have passed. You encountered two more powerful beings in the cosmic sea who could trigger the anomalies of that treasure. Incredibly, these two were also among the strongest beings in the universe. During this time, you dispatched your avatar, Tingni, along with the Giant Axe Founder who had obtained the ultimate weapon, to attack the weakest of the three strongest beings. Although you failed to kill him, you obtained some of his blood.

However, you detected an extremely peculiar energy in the blood of that strongest being in the universe. The moment you brought that blood back to the primordial universe, you immediately felt its astonishing repulsion.

[Soon, you handed the blood over to the Ancestral God Cult, and then you tried to request the Primordial Universe to bestow upon you a supreme treasure of the palace type, and unexpectedly, you actually succeeded!]

Because the strongest being in the Great Axe realm contributed significantly to this mission, and their strength far surpassed yours, you ultimately chose to bestow the ultimate treasure upon them. This earned you the respect of many of humanity's most powerful beings. And this time, it wasn't solely due to your talent and strength.

Meanwhile, the astonishing strength of the strongest axe-wielder became known to various forces in the cosmic sea, and the primordial human race thus regained immense fame within the cosmic sea.

In the days that followed, due to your and the strongest warriors of the Giant Axe's power, the status of the human race greatly improved, and the various cosmic lords of the human race naturally became much safer when operating in the cosmic sea.

[You also dispatched several avatars to operate in the cosmic sea. Of course, you directly refused the Ancestral God Sect's request for you to kill the three strongest beings in the universe.]

[Several hundred years have passed. Your friend Luo Feng, along with several alien universe lords, has triggered an extremely mysterious inheritance site. Any powerful individual can go there to obtain the inheritance; the stronger one's talent and comprehension, the greater the chance of obtaining it.]

[After receiving Luo Feng's message, you immediately set off for that place of inheritance, but outside the place, you were obstructed by all the forces of the primordial universe.]

[Even the various forces in the cosmic sea have directly united, claiming that all other super beings of the human race can enter that inheritance, but you, Time Lord, are the only exception!]

[You know that this is because your terrifying talent has aroused the fear of everyone. Facing the interception of dozens of the strongest beings in the universe, you know in your heart that even if the strongest being of the Giant Axe arrived, he would not be able to send you to that inheritance land, so in the end you had no choice but to give up.]

[But just as you were about to leave, the master of that inheritance site somehow learned of your existence and immediately informed the strongest beings in the universe who were trying to stop you from entering the inheritance site that anyone who dared to block your entry would have their entire race stripped of their right to receive the inheritance.]

Ultimately, the various factions that desired the inheritance had no choice but to abandon their obstruction, and you were finally able to enter the inheritance process.

After completing several trials, you arrived at an extremely safe place and, under the guidance of the master of the inheritance site, began to analyze a chess game called the "Rhinoceros Emperor's Game."

[To comprehend the chess game more quickly, your divine avatar directly entered the mini-universe of the strongest being with the giant axe. The strongest being with the giant axe paid a considerable price, accelerating the flow of time within the mini-universe to more than ten thousand times the flow of time in the original universe.]

[What might surprise you is that while analyzing the Rhinoceros King's Chess Game, you had a sense of déjà vu. Others spent a long time trying to understand a single game, but you were able to analyze game after game with ease.]

[Because of this special reason, although you have slowed down your comprehension speed slightly, it has still made the master of the inheritance site, who already values ​​you highly, even more satisfied.]

[But as you unravel more and more of the mysteries, not only the other powerful figures and geniuses in the Cosmic Sea, but even the master of the inheritance is deeply shocked.]

[Over seven thousand years later, with time accelerated, you have comprehended the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation for over seventy million years. At this moment, having always been far ahead, you finally comprehend the final Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation—a formation the master of the inheritance land never dared to hope would appear—thus directly obtaining the inheritance without needing to undergo further trials!]

The master of the Inheritance Land originally intended to annihilate everyone else in the Inheritance Land to celebrate your successful acquisition of the inheritance. However, many powerful individuals from the human race were among them, and you did not wish to provoke the hostility of various forces in the cosmic sea. Ultimately, you rejected the master's proposal.

[But what you didn't expect was that the master of the inheritance site ultimately annihilated all the powerful figures of that faction, all because of a request from one of his friends. And only then did you learn that the first powerful figure to discover this inheritance site wasn't Luo Feng and his group, but rather the master's friend.]

[Once the matter was settled, although the other forces were reluctant, they all left the small universe due to the awe-inspiring power of the master who had annihilated the strongest beings of two universes within the inheritance. And you officially became the master of this inheritance site.]

Because time acceleration is extremely resource-intensive, the strongest being with the giant axe canceled the time acceleration of the miniature universe after you received the inheritance.

More than 20,000 years later, having fully digested the information within the Land of Inheritance, you have just returned to the primordial universe when something earth-shattering happens within the human race: the strongest among them has fallen!

[Upon this incident, the human race, which had just acquired the inheritance of an ancient civilization, immediately became the target of everyone's anger. Although your strength is comparable to the strongest beings in the universe, the allure of that ancient civilization's inheritance, coupled with the instigation of other forces behind the scenes, has led other superpowers in the primordial universe to secretly unite and prepare to take action against the human race.]

[In an instant, humanity was plunged into a tremendous crisis, and many of humanity's super-powerful beings began planning their retreat to the primordial universe.]

Just then, you suddenly made up your mind to try and break through to the level of the strongest being in the universe.

Although you've learned from the ancient civilization's legacy that breaking through to the level of the strongest being in the universe via divine power will unlock even greater potential, given the immense crisis facing humanity, you've decided to break through via the laws of nature.

Two days later, following the guidance of the inheritance and the advice of the suppressed primordial ancestor, you made all the preparations and finally decided to break through.

[Since you have already created a top-tier sixth-order secret technique, breaking through using the laws of nature is extremely simple for you; it's almost a natural progression.]

[During your breakthrough, you encountered the greatest opportunity on the path to becoming a powerful being. In just one month, you have cultivated for nearly a million years at a time flow rate ten million times faster (accelerated within the black-patterned stone pillar space and family inheritance, as seen in the original work).]

During this period, your cultivation level has been steadily rising, and your strength has been increasing at an incredibly rapid pace...

[Simulation ended...]

"A lot happened during this simulation!"

Looking at the simulated experience displayed on the simulator panel, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The initial experience of this simulation should be related to the Lord of Nagaoku.

As for the Ancestral God Cult coming after him, it must be a follow-up to the Lord of Yuan'ao. Those three strongest beings in the universe should be the three Lords of Hao Lei Star who sided with the World Beast in the original work, leading to the fall of the strongest being of the Giant Axe.

After all, in the original work, the primordial will of the universe also sensed the existence of the World Beasts, so it's not surprising that it could issue such a mission.

The reason why Yang Wu wasn't approached before was likely because it was handled by other guardian deities within the Ancestral God Sect. But now that Yang Wu's strength is undoubtedly the strongest within the Ancestral God Sect, it's not surprising that the primordial universe's original will sought him out.

As for what happened next, it was very similar to what happened in the original story, except that Yang Wu actually completed the Duan Donghe inheritance this time.

"However, none of that matters anymore!"

"I should have thought of that! I should have thought of that!"

"In my Universe Master stage, the greatest benefit of the Time Simulator is still breaking through realms through simulated experiences and observing the evolution of the laws of chaos!"

At this moment, Yang Wu was extremely excited.

It's important to know that the moment when a person's strength increases the fastest from the level of the Lord of the Universe to the level of the strongest being in the universe is when they comprehend the "Current Evolution".

Even the enlightenment that many true gods gain through one or two cycles of reincarnation cannot compare to the brief moment of chaos's evolution.

Before becoming true gods, they may only be at the fifth level, but once they break through to become the strongest in the universe, their secret techniques can quickly be upgraded to the top of the sixth level, the seventh level, or even the eighth level!

Unfortunately, the extraordinary opportunity of "Chaos Evolution" can only be experienced once in a lifetime by every powerful individual, and even after breaking through to the Void True God realm, it is impossible to achieve again.

And what about Yang Wu?

However, one can rely on the time simulator to repeatedly comprehend this 'chaotic evolution,' which is practically like having a cheat code!

If one could truly control the chaos and become a saint-level being, even in the Origin Continent where true powerhouses abound, one would be considered a powerful figure!

"I just wonder, to what extent will my strength increase after experiencing this chaotic transformation?"

With that in mind, Yang Wu immediately turned his gaze to the simulator panel.

I really racked my brains for this simulation, and time was running out, so I'll leave you in suspense. Please be gentle with your criticism!
