Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 557 Yang Wu's Plan (6000 words, to be updated on August 27th)

"This...this...a supreme treasure of the pinnacle realm?"

In fact, as a top cosmic overlord, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace possesses extremely high authority within the human race.

Furthermore, since the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was also a disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, he had some understanding of many things concerning the human race at the level of the Universe Lord.

But as far as he knew, among the human race, the gift given after becoming the master of the universe should be a top-tier treasure!

But how did it become a treasure of the pinnacle domain level?

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be many top-tier domain-level treasures in our human race's treasury. Otherwise, with Senior Brother Chaos's strength, he wouldn't have been using the Thousand Treasures River all this time!"

At this moment, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was truly perplexed.

Seeing the look of shock on the face of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, the other super beings of the human race couldn't help but laugh.

The shock in the eyes of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master at this moment was so similar to the shock they felt when they first learned that Yang Wu had obtained hundreds of supreme treasures.

Finally, the Lord of Chaos City spoke up, saying, "Junior Brother Tian Shi, you don't need to be too shocked!"

"The reason our human race possesses so many precious treasures today is thanks to a fortuitous opportunity given by the Lord of Time a thousand years ago! Our human race's treasury is now extremely rich in treasures, including some of the most powerful ones. You need not feel any burden whatsoever!"

Prior to this, newly ascended Universe Lords within the human race were all gifted with a top-tier treasure weapon, and Yang Wu and Luo Feng were no exception.

But times have changed. The human race is no longer lacking in precious treasures, so it is natural to improve the treatment of newly powerful individuals so that they can quickly increase their strength.

Yang Wu originally intended to directly gift the newly promoted Universe Lord a supreme treasure, since the supreme treasures in the human race's treasury are already enough to last for a while, and supreme treasures will become even more common after the arrival of the Jin world in the future.

However, Yang Wu later considered the feelings of the other universe lords and changed the gift condition to a treasure of the peak domain level.

Moreover, for a newly ascended universe master, a supreme treasure is enough to last for an extremely long time.

"The Lord of Time? Isn't it the Lord of the Galaxy?" The Palace Master of the Eclipse Palace was somewhat puzzled.

When he underwent the test of inheriting the Duan Donghe lineage, he accompanied Master Peng Gong and had some understanding of the situation at that time.

However, after returning to the original universe, it is not clear what happened afterward.

However, at that time, Galaxy Lord Luo Feng had become the fastest inheritor of the "Rhino Emperor's Bureau," while Time Lord had never appeared.

In addition, with the three hundred inheritance peaks that recently appeared in Chaos City, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master naturally believed that Luo Feng had obtained the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage.

"Junior Brother Tian Shi!" The Chaos City Lord said with a smile again, "Speaking of which, your breakthrough this time was largely thanks to the ancient civilization's legacy brought back by Yang Wu and Luo Feng. You should thank them properly!"

Upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's words, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master immediately put aside his own thoughts and bowed slightly to Yang Wu and Luo Feng, saying, "Heavenly Eclipse thanks the Time Lord and Galaxy Lord for their guidance!"

"Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse, you flatter me!" Luo Feng smiled slightly, then said, "Back then, you even gave me guidance outside the Blood Luo Continent!"

Upon hearing this, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

It should be noted that only a few hundred thousand years had passed since he first gave Luo Feng his guidance.

Luo Feng has become one of the most outstanding beings in the human race, and he himself has benefited greatly from it, breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

"Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse, we are both human, so there's no need for formalities!"

Yang Wu nodded directly and said, "You should think carefully about what type of top-tier treasure you need. After all, you've just broken through, and having a top-tier treasure will definitely boost your strength!"

"Alright!"

After hearing Yang Wu's words, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace stopped refusing and, after a moment's thought, said, "If possible, I would like a supreme treasure of the highest palace type!"

In fact, as one of the few top cosmic overlords among the human race and a disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, the treasures on the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master are already in no way inferior to those of some cosmic lords who have just broken through.

Since he has an avatar, his greatest fear is being infiltrated and killed by a powerful alien race skilled in soul attacks. Therefore, the most precious treasure he possesses is a soul-type treasure that has reached the level of a high-grade treasure.

Now that he has become the ruler of the universe, even the strongest being in the universe would find it difficult to kill him with a soul attack. Therefore, what he needs is naturally a treasure that excels in material defense.

Among these, the effects of palace-type treasures are naturally the most astonishing, so it is not surprising that the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace applied for palace-type treasures.

After the business was discussed, Yang Wu and the others naturally raised their glasses to celebrate for the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

At the same time, news of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's breakthrough spread throughout the entire human race.

The fact that one after another peak-level Kings had broken through to the Universe Venerable realm had already made the human race extremely happy.

Now that the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace has become the strongest being in the universe, many cosmic venerables of the human race have felt an incomparably bright future.

While they admired him, they secretly resolved to cultivate diligently, hoping to become the next universe master within the human race.

In particular, Venerable Ancestral Tree and Star Domain Demon Lord, upon learning of this news, were not to be outdone and both went to Chaos City for seclusion.

In terms of accumulated experience and profound knowledge, the two of them are almost on par with the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Moreover, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace has cultivated the longest among the three of them. Now that the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace has been able to break through, they will naturally follow suit.

Of course, Venerable Ancestral Tree and Lord Star Prison Demon were already on the verge of a breakthrough. Now that they have received guidance from the inheritance of the ancient civilization, it is only a matter of time before they break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

Not only them, but even cosmic overlords like Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Jiufeng have a great chance of breaking through.

After all, the gap between them and the top cosmic overlords is more reflected in their divine power and supreme treasures, and the gap in their understanding of the laws is not that big.

Of course, once the human race's powerful individuals, who have accumulated strength over countless years, have broken through their limits, the development of the human race will naturally enter a period of stability.

……

After the celebration, the Lord of Chaos City immediately led the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace to pay respects to the Primordial Ancestor, while Yang Wu did not continue to join in the festivities and directly returned to reality.

Meanwhile, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace directly followed the City Master of Chaos City, the Lord of Ice Peak, and several others to the location of the Primordial Ancestor Statue.

Along the way, the Ice Peak Lord, who already had a close relationship with the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, told him about some important recent events that the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was unaware of.

These reports, however, plunged the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace into a tremendous shock.

"This...this..."

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was utterly incredulous: "To kill four of the strongest beings in the universe, and to have so many super powers in the cosmic sea apologize?"

"I never imagined that after hundreds of thousands of years, the Time Lord's strength would have become so terrifying, even surpassing that of my teacher from back then!"

"yes!"

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and said, "When I first heard this news, my reaction wasn't much better than yours, Junior Brother Tian Shi!"

"Looking across the endless cycle of the universe, the Time Lord's unparalleled talent is probably unmatched! He received a bit of help from you when he was young, which is a good thing for you!"

"Having cultivated for only a few hundred thousand years, he has already become the strongest being in the universe. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe it!" The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace couldn't help but exclaim.

"Who can argue with that? However, the existence of the Time Lord is also a great blessing for our human race!"

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go pay our respects to our teacher first!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Palace Master Tian Shi nodded earnestly.

He had not seen his teacher since the teacher was suppressed by the original will of the universe, so he was naturally looking forward to it.

……

On the other hand, Yang Wu, whose consciousness returned to reality, went directly back to his divine kingdom.

The vast divine realm.

Rumble...

Below, the endless dark sea continues to expand and surge, its volume reaching a diameter of three light-years.

In the depths of the Endless Dark Sea, in the central region, lies a vacuum area with a diameter of approximately 10 billion kilometers. Not a single drop of divine power or seawater can penetrate into this area, making it resemble a massive bubble suspended in the Endless Dark Sea.

Within this enormous vacuum bubble, countless substances are now suspended.

Various metals, minerals, soil, liquids...

From the ordinary soil and water droplets on some habitable planets; to the mysterious genetic material of some special life forms, and even some extremely rare treasures in the universe; even the blood and genes of many god-like beings...

All sorts of strange substances from the vast cosmic ocean have now appeared here, almost completely filling this space with a diameter of 10 billion kilometers.

Billions of metals! Billions of special energy bodies! Billions of liquids! Billions of plants! All matter! And even all living life!

From single-celled organisms to the bodies and genetic material of the strongest beings in the universe...

At the same time, the Netherworld Avatar was also constantly using its innate secret techniques to analyze and study these endless substances.

"The secret technique of the Netherworld Avatar is incredibly helpful for the path of divine power!"

Inside the magnificent temple above the Endless Abyss, Yang Wu looked down at the endless abyss and couldn't help but sigh, "Over the years, with the guidance of the Falling Cloud Sect's inheritance, the innate secret techniques of the Abyss Avatar, and the help of the Time Simulator, my progress on the path of divine power has been significant! My life gene level has already increased to over 56,000 times, and I'm afraid it won't be long before I break through to 60,000 times!"

In fact, although Yang Wu had good talent and comprehension, it was not an easy thing to raise the level of life genes to more than 50,000 times.

But Yang Wu's current level of skill and opportunities are simply too powerful!

In terms of the level of secret techniques, Yang Wu has now reached the limit of the strongest in the universe. In terms of external conditions, he is also guided by a lot of inherited information from the Luoyun Sect.

It should be noted that even within the Divine Kingdom of Jin, the home of the Mountain Dweller, there are detailed guidelines for the path of divine power. As a result, Luo Feng made consecutive breakthroughs in the path of divine power when he ventured into Wuqi Tower.

The preciousness of the Luoyun Sect's inheritance far surpasses that of the Jin Dynasty's Divine Kingdom, so how could it lack detailed guidance on the divine power path?

In fact, the guidance on the path of divine power in the Luoyun Sect's inheritance is much more detailed than that in the Divine Kingdom of Jin!

In the Divine Kingdom of Jin, the guidance beyond the 60,000-fold life gene level is completely blank; however, in the Luoyun Sect's inheritance, even after reaching the 60,000-fold life gene level on the divine power path, one can still obtain a lot of guiding information.

"My current level of life genes is probably not far from breaking through 60,000 times!" Yang Wu sighed inwardly.

"However, without the opportunity to observe the evolution of chaos, progress in the cultivation of secret techniques has been limited!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu recalled his recent simulation experiences.

Because he possessed the time acceleration space within Luoyun Peak, the simulation count of the time simulator in Yang Wu's mind refreshed very quickly.

Yang Wu thought that this would allow him to quickly improve his strength, but the result was not as expected.

Just like the previous simulations, since becoming the strongest in the Cosmic Sea, he has never experienced a chaotic evolution again.

Regardless of the personality he chose in the simulation, due to the divine power path and the opportunity to seize the original universe, he never broke through to the realm of the strongest in the universe in the simulation.

Furthermore, given that his strength is already unmatched in the universe, he will naturally no longer encounter any crises that force him to break through!

"If it weren't for the opportunity of the Chaos Evolution, I really don't know when I would have been able to advance further in the level of secret techniques!" Yang Wu was quite helpless at this moment.

In fact, after solving the endless Rhinoceros Emperor's puzzle, his comprehension has already greatly improved.

If he were still only a fifth-order universe master, creating a sixth-order secret technique would probably be an easy task for him.

The most crucial point is that, in terms of his own realm, the level of the secret technique he has created is simply too high. Therefore, without special opportunities, it would be extremely difficult to make any further progress!

"Um?"

Just then, Yang Wu suddenly had a thought.

……

Luoyun Peak, within the time-accelerated space.

At this moment, the ratio of the flow of time within the space to that outside has reached 100,000:1!

Yang Wu, dressed in a dark gold robe, was sitting cross-legged on a futon, earnestly studying a divine power guidance inheritance within the core inheritance of the Luoyun Sect.

Between moments, the divine power within Yang Wushen's body continuously shattered and reassembled... His aura underwent countless changes in a short period of time.

Wow!

Suddenly, Yang Wu's divine body shattered instantly, transforming into boundless divine power.

Then, accompanied by a strange fluctuation, this endless divine power was reorganized and actually transformed back into Yang Wu's divine body.

However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that this new divine body is quite different from the previous one.

hum!

An astonishing pressure erupted from Yang Wu's divine body, spreading in all directions.

……

Within a space on Luoyun Peak, endless starlight once again emanated from the azure stone tortoise, forming the figure of the Luoyun Peak artifact spirit in the void.

"This is... Yang Wu has already broken through the 60,000-fold level of life genes?"

The spirit of Luoyun Peak gazed into the void, but there was no smile on its face.

"Yang Wu!" With a thought, the spirit of Luoyun Peak appeared beside Yang Wu.

"Senior Spirit!" Yang Wu stood up and greeted him.

"Yang Wu!"

The spirit of Luoyun Peak spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction: "I told you long ago, don't waste so much time and energy researching divine power paths!"

"For ordinary people, the path to divine power is undoubtedly incredibly difficult, but for a genius like you, reaching the level of 90,000 times the life gene is merely a matter of time!"

"Your most important task right now is to improve your level of secret techniques as much as possible!"

"Master once said that the secret techniques he left behind were not perfect and still need to be continuously improved by you! But with your current level, it's probably very difficult to do so, so you must continue to work hard and strive to surpass Master's level back then!"

"You were able to create top-tier ninth-order secret techniques over hundreds of thousands of years without detailed guidance before. Now, with the guidance of numerous inheritances from my Falling Cloud Sect, your progress should be even greater!"

"But now, a thousand years have passed, and you have cultivated for a hundred million years in this time-accelerated space, yet you have not made any significant breakthroughs in your secret techniques!"

The spirit of Luoyun Peak looked at Yang Wu and said earnestly, "At this rate, even if you reach a life gene level of over 90,000 times, trying to seize control of the primordial universe when you break through to True God is just a pipe dream!"

Of course, although the spirit of the Luoyun Sect kept mentioning Yang Wu, he was actually very satisfied with Yang Wu's comprehension and talent.

After all, being able to raise the level of life genes to 60,000 times within 10,000 epochs is an extremely incredible thing, even with the guidance of many inheritances.

What the spirit of Luoyun Peak was worried about was that Yang Wu had always focused on cultivating the divine power path, thus neglecting his talent in creating secret techniques.

After all, when it comes to possessing the original universe, both the life gene level and the secret technique level are indispensable.

"Senior Spirit, I understand everything you've said!" Yang Wu said earnestly, but then a bitter smile crept across his face.

The spirit of Luoyun Peak had reminded him of this matter several times before, so how could he not understand?

However, in all these years of cultivation, he has not focused on the path of divine power at all.

The reason for this situation is that he has reached a bottleneck on the path of creating secret techniques and is unable to break through it.

The cultivation of divine power is simply a matter of continuous progress through repeated simulations.

If he can still observe the evolution of chaos in the simulated experience, his level of secret techniques will naturally advance rapidly.

But since there's no way to break through to the level of the strongest in the universe, it's impossible to advance rapidly.

In fact, if Yang Wu cannot find a solution, he may remain stuck at the level of a top-tier ninth-order secret technique for even longer in the future.

At that time, perhaps the new simulation experience will replicate his situation of "fading into the crowd" in the original simulation experience.

"Alright, you can handle these things yourself. I won't say any more!"

The spirit of Luoyun Peak waved its hand and nodded, saying, "However, you must understand that if you want to seize control of the primordial universe when breaking through to True God, then your own realm must be as strong as possible!"

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded in response.

After the spirit of Luoyun Peak left, Yang Wu fell into deep thought.

"Currently, unless I undergo another chaotic evolution, my current strength is roughly at its limit!"

"Reaching a life gene level that is 90,000 times, or even 100,000 times, is extremely difficult!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "It's time to think of a way to break through in this simulated experience!"

"Then, the upcoming territorial disputes might present an opportunity!"

"If nearly a thousand universe lords were to unite, along with more than ten of the strongest beings in the universe, they might pose a threat to me!"

Yang Wu kept thinking.

In recent years, he has already conducted numerous simulations using a time simulator.

In those simulated experiences, the struggles between the human race and other forces in the original universe were naturally different due to his different personality.

In some simulations of milder temperaments, the expansion of the human race was extremely peaceful, like a frog being slowly boiled in water. Intimidated by Yang Wu's powerful strength, many forces in the primordial universe did not resist much, after all, it was only natural for the strong to have more territory.

Of course, after Yang Wu chose some rather "crazy" personality traits, the human race experienced significant conflicts with other races in the simulations. In several simulations, the earth-shattering battle between humanity and various alien races from the original story was even reenacted. However, because the giant axe did not fall and Yang Wu dominated the cosmic sea, more forces in the primordial universe chose to side with humanity, making the human race stronger than in the original story, and thus they weathered the crisis relatively easily.

"Then let's be even more reckless this time, forcing those alien races to unite even more powerful individuals to target our human race!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "In this way, I'm facing immense pressure, and I might even break through to the level of the strongest being in the universe during the simulation!"

With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and began to contact other super beings in the human race.

This chapter feels a little awkward, but the overall idea is that Yang Wu chose to actively instigate a primordial universe war in order to break through in the simulated experience (otherwise, other forces probably wouldn't dare to fight against the current human race).
