Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Time keeps passing.

For the next period of time, most of the powerful figures from various forces in the Cosmic Sea were focused on comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, even those who did not go to the Cosmic Ship to receive the inheritance.

After all, besides being an assessment task for the Duan Donghe lineage, the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau is itself an extremely powerful creation from ancient civilization.

Simply by constantly studying the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, one can subtly improve one's comprehension—how astonishing!

It can be said that the Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau is an opportunity for countless powerful individuals throughout the universe. It's just that because it spread so quickly and there's the allure of the Broken East River's inheritance, it doesn't seem so amazing.

However, the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation is far too obscure and difficult. Even for the strongest beings in the universe, continuously solving the formation is an extremely difficult task.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred years have passed.

Inside the tomb-like vessel, at the end of the corridor between life and death.

"Ding! Dong!"

A strange voice echoed once again in the minds of each candidate.

All the powerful figures present showed astonishment, and then looked again at the illusory figure that had been formed.

"What happened?"

"The last time this section of the Eastern River appeared was because of the Lord of Time. Could it be that the Lord of Time is about to arrive?"

The surrounding candidates were all speculating about the reason for Duan Donghe's appearance.

But at that moment, Duan Donghe looked down calmly and said, "The candidate... the Human Galaxy, has met the requirements for resolving the situation!"

Wow!

The surrounding inheritors were all in an uproar.

So, is it possible that the human Luo Feng will inherit the mantle?

How is that possible?

"rise!"

Duan Donghe pointed into the distance, and a hazy hemispherical light and shadow appeared around Luo Feng, which was like a huge palace, completely enveloping Luo Feng.

Countless secret patterns flowed across the palace of light and shadow, and the power it faintly emitted made everyone present tremble.

"Human Galaxy!" Duan Donghe looked at Luo Feng: "This is a protective secret technique I've cast. You can meditate and comprehend it within. From now on, no one can harm you!"

At the same time, Duan Donghe coldly looked at the rest of the group: "If anyone attacks the human galaxy again, they will be eliminated and killed!"

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures from various races gathered here were all shocked, and they all gritted their teeth in anger.

However, since Duan Donghe had already spoken, they naturally dared not disobey.

Of course, the fact that Duan Donghe allowed the Galaxy Lord to continue comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation means that others still have a chance.

Sure enough, Duan Donghe began to introduce the four levels of candidates to everyone.

"All the candidates here can be divided into four levels."

"This human galaxy has only reached the first bottleneck, barely meeting my minimum requirements, qualifying me to enter the next stage and come into contact with some of the inheritance of my Duan Donghe lineage!"

"Reaching the second bottleneck makes one an elite; reaching the third bottleneck makes one a core inheritor."

"Only by reaching the fourth bottleneck can one directly become the inheritor of my Duan Donghe lineage, without needing to compete with other candidates!"

"However, reaching the fourth level will be very difficult for you. In this situation, the more puzzles you solve, the greater your chance of receiving the inheritance later!"

After Duan Donghe finished explaining, all the powerful figures present understood.

"How many challenges did the Galactic Lord solve to reach the first bottleneck?"

The Second True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan thought to himself, "I've already solved 1005 games, and I haven't reached the first level yet. But my elder brother has already solved 1200 games. If he were here, he might have already reached the first level bottleneck!"

At this moment, Luo Feng quickly calmed his excited emotions.

"As a Supreme Being of the Universe, the requirements for reaching the first bottleneck should be somewhat lower than for others. However, since I am able to take the lead, I am certain that I will be able to obtain the final inheritance!"

With this in mind, Luo Feng inside the Star Tower immediately began to continue comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.

He paid no attention to the jealous, resentful, and murderous gazes around him.

The many super beings of the human race were also extremely excited after learning of this news.

When the Duan Donghe inheritance appeared this time, Yang Wu was not present, and they all thought that the hope of obtaining the inheritance was extremely slim.

Unexpectedly, Luo Feng suddenly emerged as a dark horse and became the first candidate to reach the first bottleneck.

However, although everyone was excited, they only sent Luo Feng a congratulatory email each.

After all, Luo Feng is currently focusing all his efforts on comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation and striving to seize the inheritance of the Broken East River, so they naturally wouldn't waste Luo Feng's time.

……

Time keeps passing by.

In the vast cosmic sea, the gazes of the vast majority of powerful beings were focused on the Tomb Ship of the Flame Ice Domain.

This place has become a silent battlefield, where all forces are striving to obtain the ultimate inheritance of the Broken East River.

Shortly after Luo Feng reached the first level, the Azure Blood Venerable of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land also reached the first bottleneck.

The appearance of a cosmic sage also shocked many candidates.

However, the emergence of numerous candidates made it clear to many forces the requirements for different realms.

Among them, immortal gods need to solve 500 games to reach the first level;

To reach the first level, a Cosmic Venerable needs to solve one thousand cases;

To reach the first level, the Lord of the Universe needs to solve 1,500 cases.

As for the strongest beings in the universe, they need to solve two thousand cases to reach the first level.

Such requirements are undeniably high, and these candidates are considered elites from various factions, yet only a few can reach the first level.

Of course, with a clear goal in mind, these people did speed up their understanding of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.

Three thousand years later.

Virtual universe, an independent dimensional space.

"This two-thousandth game is really tough!"

Luo Feng stood before a three-dimensional, illusory image of an unfinished game, studying it carefully.

Logically speaking, the difficulty of each Rhinoceros King game should increase exponentially. Luo Feng spent five hundred years solving the first thousand games, so reaching the level of the second thousand games should take more than ten times longer.

Luo Feng compared and verified the various secret patterns with the Rhinoceros Emperor Formation, and his speed of comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor Formation became increasingly terrifying.

Just as Luo Feng was comprehending the second thousandth Rhinoceros Emperor Formation, a white-robed figure was watching him from the side, but Luo Feng was completely unaware of it.

And the only one capable of doing this in the virtual universe is the original creator of the virtual universe!

"The Rhinoceros King's Bureau!"

The Primordial Ancestor sighed inwardly, "Just what kind of magnificent being is that Rhinoceros Emperor, to be able to create such an incredible creation?"

"Compared to that, the virtual universe I created is rather crude!"

"However, Luo Feng is not far from solving the two thousandth problem!"

Looking at Luo Feng, the Primordial Ancestor couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Such talent is truly astonishing. Back when I was at the Universe Venerable stage, I probably couldn't compare to Luo Feng now!"

"Our human race is truly fortunate to have produced two unparalleled powerhouses like Yang Wu and Luo Feng in succession!"

"But what exactly is the scheme behind that Mountain Dweller's creation of the Flame God Clan and then the Earth Clan?"

Now, the virtual universe is spread throughout the original universe. With the original ancestor's methods and realm, there is very little in the universe that he does not understand.

However, the primordial ancestor could never figure out the incredibly mysterious mountain dweller.

"However, it's a pity that Yang Wu is still asleep!" the Primordial Ancestor couldn't help but sigh inwardly. "I wonder what kind of predicament he encountered that has caused him to sleep for five thousand years!"

"If I hadn't been suppressed by the primordial will of the universe, I could have found a way to help him!"

The Primordial One sighed softly to himself, "Unfortunately, now they can only rely on themselves!"

……

The inner domain of the spaceship, the Flame and Ice Domain.

The Tomb Ship, the Corridor of Life and Death, was completely silent. Palace-like treasures were scattered in various places, and many candidates were quietly comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.

Among them are also 'golden palaces of light and shadow,' representing each candidate who has reached the first level of bottleneck, but their numbers are extremely small.

Shortly after the first strongest being in the universe reached the first bottleneck, Duan Donghe reappeared.

All the powerful figures looked up, wondering which candidate would reach the first level of bottleneck this time.

But at this moment, Duan Donghe revealed a smile on his face.

"I...I'm so happy!"

Duan Donghe's voice resounded in the ears of every inheritor: "The Human Galaxy has broken through the second bottleneck and become an elite candidate!"

"rise!"

Duan Donghe pointed, and the golden light shield surrounding Luo Feng instantly changed, eventually becoming a light shield with alternating gold and red colors.

Upon witnessing this scene, the surrounding candidates erupted in uproar once again.

They had thought that with the emergence of numerous first-tier inheritors over the past few thousand years, the advantage of the Galactic Lords would be completely lost.

After all, so many geniuses and strong individuals, it's one thing if they can't compare to the Lord of Time, but are they really inferior to the Lord of the Galaxy before us?

Unexpectedly, Luo Feng had once again taken the lead over everyone else.

Of course, the opinions of the crowd could not sway Duan Donghe's decision, so they could only work harder to comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation and try to catch up with Luo Feng's pace.

What they didn't know was that the gap between them and Luo Feng would only widen.

More than ten thousand years later, when Luo Feng was enveloped in a golden, red, and cyan light shield and became a third-level inheritor, these candidates finally realized the extent of their despair.

After all, apart from Luo Feng, there are only a few other second-level inheritors.

"The human race of the primordial universe is truly terrifying. I never imagined that even the most astounding Time Lord wouldn't come to receive the inheritance, yet this Galactic Lord has already surpassed all of us!"

"No, no..." A colossal beast from the first era of reincarnation howled in agony, "Is this truly going to wipe out my entire lineage of beast-evolving beings? Even this last hope is being taken away? I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

"Damn it! The hope of transcending reincarnation belongs to my Divine Eye Clan! It belongs to my Divine Eye Clan!"

despair!

All the powerful individuals present felt immense despair.

Even in this despair, some powerful individuals attempted to attack Luo Feng, but they were all instantly annihilated in front of the three-colored light shield.

At this moment, Duan Donghe was also very unsettled.

"The Milky Way!" Duan Donghe looked at Luo Feng and exclaimed in admiration, "Ten thousand years of comprehension, even with the acceleration of a small universe, is only ten thousand epochs, yet you have actually reached the third level!"

"I never imagined that after I was driven to despair, I would meet such an outstanding junior like you!"

"The talent and comprehension you've shown are now no less than mine. With you here, I can say I've done right by my ancestors!"

Fortunately, Duan Donghe did not directly bestow the inheritance upon Luo Feng, and the candidates from other factions still felt that they had a chance to obtain the inheritance.

But as the three eras stipulated by Duan Donghe drew closer, these powerful figures were once again filled with despair.

Everyone felt that the Broken East River lineage was a cruel joke played on them by fate.

After all their hard work, the one who ultimately benefited the most was still that primitive human race from the universe!

Time continued to pass, and soon the third era had come to an end.

"Ding! Dong!"

The familiar voice echoed once again in the minds of every powerful individual.

All the powerful figures looked up, while Duan Donghe, who appeared in mid-air, looked down and said directly: "The three eras have ended, and the selection process of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau is over."

"307 people have broken through the first bottleneck."

Five people have broken through the second bottleneck.

Two people have broken through the third bottleneck.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless inheritors around him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, it's finally over! Thank goodness that the Galactic Lord didn't break through the fourth level bottleneck!"

"It's finally over! Thankfully, the Time Lord didn't show up, otherwise, with his comprehension being even more terrifying than the Galactic Lord's, he probably would have reached the fourth level of the bottleneck!"

"Yes, thankfully it's over! However, this Broken East River inheritance has lasted for three eras, and there's still no news of the Time Lord. Could it be that he has already perished?"

"Very likely! Wasn't the original ancestor of the human race suppressed by the primordial will of the universe?"

In an instant, various thoughts flashed through the minds of countless candidates around them.

Under normal circumstances, if a powerful person disappears for a period of time, it will not attract much attention.

Just like the Northern True Star Lord in the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe, who hasn't appeared in the cosmic sea for more than ten epochs, how many people would care?

But Yang Wu is different!

Since Yang Wu ventured into the Cosmic Sea, he has been the focus of attention from various forces within the Cosmic Sea.

This attention reached its peak after Yang Wu killed King Zhenjia!

At this time, Yang Wu had been missing for three eras, and just then, he encountered the emergence of such a precious inheritance as Duan Donghe, which naturally aroused the imaginations of powerful figures from all sides.

However, Duan Donghe, who was in mid-air, completely ignored what everyone was thinking.

Boom!

With a wave of his hand, Duan Donghe caused the gate at the end of the Corridor of Life and Death to suddenly open.

Looking down, Duan Donghe coldly said, "Those who pass the selection can continue forward and receive their inheritance in the next hall."

"As for those who haven't even reached the first bottleneck, according to the rules, they should all die!"

As soon as Duan Donghe finished speaking, countless crystal pillars in the Corridor of Life and Death burst forth with golden light, annihilating nearly 100,000 candidates. In the end, only 300 or so candidates who had broken through the first level of tranquility remained.

The remaining hundreds of candidates, though shocked by Duan Donghe's methods, were also eagerly anticipating the inheritance to come.

After all, according to Duan Donghe, after passing the test of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau, one can receive a portion of the inheritance.

"Walk!"

After killing many powerful figures, Duan Donghe transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the distant hall, with Luo Feng and the others quickly following behind. (End of Chapter)
