Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

"This fluctuation seems to be coming from two directions?"

Upon noticing the unusual fluctuations emanating from the golden toad, Yang Wu couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

"Could my previous guess have been wrong? Could it be that it wasn't just Hao Lei Star Lord and his two companions who could trigger this strange behavior in the golden toad?" Yang Wu pondered to himself.

Even before arriving here, Yang Wu had already learned about the current situation of King Zhenjia, Lord Haolei Star, and Ancestral God Qiuyan through the channels of the human race.

Apart from King Zhenjia in the Liuchong Mountain area, both Lord Haolei Star and Ancestral God Qiuyan are in the Qingfeng Realm. Even if they wanted to come to Liuchong Mountain, it wouldn't be something they could do in a short time.

"Well, whatever, let's go investigate first!"

Yang Wu shook his head and smiled: "With my current strength, how could I possibly encounter any fatal threat? Even if a World Beast suddenly appears, it wouldn't be too difficult for me to escape unscathed."

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately rushed towards the coordinates that were closest to him that had caused the golden toad to move.

Soon, Yang Wu followed the fluctuations emanating from the golden toad and arrived near Qingguang Island, which had a diameter of 2.3 light-years.

Qingguang Island is an extremely famous island in the Boundless Sea, where powerful individuals often venture.

In the core area of ​​Qingguang Island, there is a completely black castle nestled deep in a mountain range. Beneath the entire black castle lies endless boiling magma, in which strange monsters live.

At this moment, in the main hall of the blue castle, three imposing figures were conversing.

These three beings were of different forms; some were strange, gigantic beasts, while others were humanoid. However, without exception, all three had bodies of steel and two fiery red eyes on their heads.

If any powerful figures from the first era of reincarnation were to appear here, they would discover that these three were from an extremely powerful race during the first era of reincarnation: the three Universe Lords of the Fire Origin Clan.

At this moment, the three universe lords of the Fire Origin Clan were communicating telepathically.

"Purple Flame, Black Flame, I don't know if you've noticed, but recently, the leader's personality has really changed quite a bit!" a cosmic lord transmitted telepathically.

"Indeed!" the cosmic lord known as "Purple Flame" echoed, "Our leader always told us that if we wanted the Fire Source Clan to transcend reincarnation, we had to fight and seize! But in recent years, our ancestor has been constantly urging us to act cautiously!"

"Previously, I was competing with the Lord of Annihilation from the Second Era and others for a supreme treasure within the Peak Realm. The leader could have rushed there, but in the end, he made me give up that supreme treasure!"

"Do you think our ancestor, like the Divine Eye Clan, received the inheritance of an ancient civilization and is currently comprehending it, which is why he is usually too busy to be elsewhere?"

"I think you two are being far too paranoid!" The Lord of Black Flame frowned and said, "It's already incredibly difficult for our Fire Source Clan to lead us across the universe, Chief. So what if his personality has changed a bit?"

"Now, the opportunity for our Fire Source Clan to transcend reincarnation rests entirely on our leader. Therefore, we must naturally act according to our leader's orders!"

At the same time, the Lord of Black Flame thought to himself, "The changes in Master recently are too obvious. Even Purple Flame and Prisoner Light have become suspicious. I should inform Master about this."

"I just wonder what big plan Master is planning. I hope it succeeds!"

"Black Flame, of course we must follow the leader's orders, but if the leader really encounters trouble, we must find a way to help!"

……

At the same time, the three universe lords of the Fire Origin Clan were exchanging telepathic messages.

Suddenly...

boom!

A dark golden streak of light was flying forward at high speed in the distance.

"The Boundless Sea is already a relatively dangerous area within the Flowing Heavy Mountain, yet this person dares to fly at high speed above it. And judging by their speed, could they be one of the strongest beings in the universe?"

"No, a black-haired human, this person should be the Time Lord from the primitive universe's human race!"

"No wonder he dared to rampage through the Boundless Sea; it's the Time Lord. I'd heard before that the Time Lord escaped unscathed from the two strongest beings in the universe from the Divine Eye Clan. But wasn't the Time Lord causing trouble inside the spaceship?"

"The one wreaking havoc inside the spaceship is a lightning-based avatar of the Time Lord; this human before us is likely the Time Lord himself!"

"A universe lord who possesses numerous avatars—that's truly enviable! In my Fire Source Clan, universe lords with such avatars are far too few!"

"I wonder what the Lord of Time wants to do in this Boundless Sea? Perhaps we should inform the leader first!"

Upon seeing Yang Wu appear, the three universe lords of the Fire Source Clan were also surprised, but they still quickly passed the news on to Zhenjia King, the leader of the Fire Source Clan, who was also adventuring in the Boundless Sea.

"Hey, that's the Time Lord heading this way, and it looks like we're his target!"

"It's flying right towards us!"

The three universe lords of the Fire Origin Clan were somewhat surprised.

It should be noted that when venturing into the cosmic sea, even if one happens to encounter some powerful alien beings, very few of them will actively approach them.

This would only happen if some supreme treasure were to appear, or if there were powerful individuals with whom one had a grudge.

However, there was no sign of a supreme treasure appearing on Qingguang Island at this time, and the Fire Source Clan and the original universe human race had always kept to themselves. Therefore, the three universe lords of the Fire Source Clan were somewhat surprised by Yang Wu's approach.

Of course, despite the unexpected turn of events, the three Black Flame Lords felt no fear whatsoever towards Yang Wu.

After all, the three of them were able to venture into the Boundless Sea, and their strength had all reached the fifth level. Even the strongest being in the universe would find it difficult to deal with the three of them at the same time.

Moreover, the greatest leader of the Fire Source Clan, King Zhenjia, is also in this Boundless Sea. If they were to fight the Lord of Time, King Zhenjia would surely be able to arrive quickly, and the Lord of Time would be the one to suffer.

"Lord of Time!" the Lord of Black Flames growled in a low voice, "What is your purpose in coming here?"

At the same time, the Lord of Purple Fire and the Lord of Imprisoned Light also looked at Yang Wu from afar.

At this moment, Yang Wu gradually slowed down and then hovered in the void not far from the three universe masters of the Fire Origin Clan.

"So you are the Black Flame Lord, Purple Flame Lord, and Prison Light Lord of the Fire Source Clan!" Yang Wu said calmly. "I was merely passing by and wanted to come up and say hello after seeing the three of you!"

At the same time, Yang Wu was secretly using the golden toad to locate the person who had led him here, who was none other than the Lord of Black Flame.

"The Lord of Black Flames?" Yang Wu couldn't help but ponder to himself.

"I've long heard that this person is the most respectful to King Zhenjia within the Fire Source Clan. Could it be that this person is King Zhenjia's soul servant?"

Yang Wu suddenly remembered that when Luo Feng went to the Yuan'ao Continent to investigate the anomalies in the original story, all of the Yuan'ao Lord's soul servants showed abnormalities.

If this Lord of Black Flame is King Zhenjia's soul servant, it is not surprising that he could cause the golden toad to act strangely.

However, the will and soul of a universe master are so powerful that even the strongest being in the universe would find it difficult to enslave a universe master.

Of course, what Yang Wu didn't know was that King Zhenjia had already enslaved the Black Flame Lord's soul when the Black Flame Lord was still a Universe Venerable. It was only after countless years that the Black Flame Lord finally reached the level of a Universe Venerable.

In the past two multi-cycle eras, the Lord of Black Flame has always been the most important helper for King Zhenjia in leading the Fire Source Clan.

"With my previous strength, the best approach would have been to first capture the Lord of Black Flame, and then have the Ancestral God Sect investigate thoroughly. Although I don't know if the Lord of Black Flame is aware of King Zhenjia's scheme, given the methods of the primordial universe's original will, I think we could still find some information through that."

Yang Wu thought to himself, "However, with my current strength, there's no need to go through all that trouble!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately said to the three Black Flame Lords, "Black Flame Lord, I've heard that the noble King Zhenjia is also in this Boundless Sea. I wonder if you could show yourself to meet me?"

"Does the Time Lord wish to see the Chief?"

Upon hearing Yang Wu's words, the three Black Flame Lords showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

However, the three Black Flame Lords quickly reacted and then promptly relayed the news to King Zhenjia.

King Zhenjia was currently on Qingkong Island, the most central island in the Boundless Sea, and was slightly surprised upon receiving this news.

"Heh, that Lord of Time was truly skilled and daring!"

"I had heard before that he was very likely to possess more than one supreme treasure. Lord Haolei, Ancestral God Qiuyan, and I even considered whether we should go and kill him."

"However, the things our master instructed us to do were the most important, so the three of us gave up on that idea."

Flames flickered in King Zhenjia's fiery red eyes: "But now he dares to come to see me on his own initiative. Isn't he afraid that I will kill this avatar of his?"

Yang Wu was able to escape unscathed from the hands of the Star Lord and the Azure-Eyed Lord of the Divine Eye Clan. In the past, King Zhenjia would have been somewhat wary of him.

But now he has obtained an extremely heaven-defying opportunity, and his strength has undergone earth-shattering changes. If he were to go all out, he would probably be able to compete with the first true master of the Divine Eye Clan.

"However, this Time Lord is not the strongest being in the universe. He has many avatars. Unless our masters personally destroy his soul, it's best not to act rashly! Otherwise, if we attract the attention of other powerful beings, it will be difficult to complete our masters' plans!"

King Zhenjia secretly pondered, "This time I'll go see why this Lord of Time wants to see me. If I can lure him into the Peak Realm, that would be perfect!"

Thinking of this, King Zhenjia immediately sent a message to the Lord of Black Flame: "Black Flame, please ask Lord of Time to wait a moment. I will arrive at Azure Light Island in half an hour!"

……

On the other side, after receiving the message from King Zhenjia, the Lord of Black Flame immediately addressed Yang Wu: "Lord of Time!"

"Our Fire Source Clan's greatest leader, King Zhenjia, has agreed to see you. Please wait here a moment; the leader will arrive shortly!"

"That's excellent!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

After sensing the message from the golden toad that another source was approaching, Yang Wu had no more doubts.

"It seems my guesses were right; King Zhenjia really was one of the sources that triggered the golden toad!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "Next, we'll see just how high a price the primordial will of the universe is willing to pay!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu's Nether Sea clone, which was staying in the Divine Kingdom, immediately set off to the Ancestral God Sect to meet the Two-Faced Ancestral God.

Within the Ancestral God Sect, travel can be made via teleportation through the Divine Kingdom, making it incredibly fast.

So in just a short while, Yang Wu's Netherworld Avatar appeared within the Ancestral God Sect.

After appearing at the Ancestral God Sect, Yang Wu immediately flew to the Ancestral God Palace.

The guards outside the Ancestral God Palace did not stop Yang Wu, because the Two-Faced Ancestral God had already given the order that the Lord of Time could enter and leave the Ancestral God Palace at any time.

"The Two-Faced Ancestral God!" Yang Wu looked towards the front of the main hall and greeted him calmly.

He had already given the message to the Two-Faced Ancestral God before he came here, so the other party was already waiting here.

"Lord of Time, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Have you made some discovery in the cosmic sea?" the Two-Faced Ancestral God asked in confusion.

Although that's what he said, the Two-Faced Ancestral God didn't really believe that Yang Wu could make any discoveries in such a short time.

After all, the cosmic sea is vast and boundless. Although there are many powerful figures from the three eras of reincarnation, they are scattered throughout the vast cosmic sea, making it extremely difficult to discover them.

Therefore, the mission previously given to Yang Wu was something the dual-faced ancestral god had already prepared for to last for tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

"good!"

Yang Wu nodded and said, "I was lucky enough to encounter the Black Flame Lord of the Fire Source Clan in the Flowing Heavy Mountains. Both the Black Flame Lord and King Zhenjia actually caused the Golden Toad to stir. Upon learning of this, I immediately came to inform you, the Two-Faced Ancestral God!"

"The Lord of Black Flames? King Zhenjia?"

Upon hearing these two names, even the Two-Faced Ancestral God was slightly taken aback.

These two are both powerful figures with immense prestige in the cosmic sea. Even the Black Flame Lord, who possesses the strength of a fifth-tier universe lord, would be difficult for the Ancestral God Sect to deal with, let alone the even more terrifying strongest being in the universe, King Zhenjia.

Immediately, the Two-Faced Ancestral God sent out a message.

Soon, two more figures appeared in the Ancestral God Palace. One of them looked extremely old, while the other was very young. These two were the other two Ancestral Gods in the Ancestral God Sect.

It should be noted that the Ancestral God Cult, as the number one power in the primordial universe, is usually not provoked by anyone. Therefore, the one who handles daily affairs is just one of the Eight Beast Gods.

Even for major events, the appearance of one ancestral god is enough.

But now that the three Ancestral Gods have appeared simultaneously, it's clear how important what Yang Wu said is to the Ancestral God Sect. (End of Chapter)
