Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 60 War God Palace

The next morning, after having breakfast with his family, Yang Wu left home with his backpack.

The backpack contained materials from a low-level lord-class monster, a gift from the two war gods, Deng Tong and Zhuge Shan.

Yang Wu plans to go to the Limit Martial Arts Hall to obtain the certification of a beginner war god, thereby receiving an invitation from the War God Palace.

After boarding a special vehicle provided by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy for its members, Yang Wu quickly arrived at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy headquarters in Jiangnan Base City.

In an office on the third floor of the Extreme Club.

"Yang Wu, the God of War!"

Supervisor Zhuge Tao had already received information about his elder brother Zhuge Shan, so he was very respectful to Yang Wu at this time.

"Manager Zhuge, we've known each other for a long time. You helped me a lot during the preliminary martial artist combat assessment, and I'm very grateful. There's no need to be so polite, just call me by my name!" Yang Wu said casually.

Yang Wu's casualness lessened the sense of distance in Zhuge Tao's heart.

It seems...

This young man, despite becoming a War God-level expert at such a young age, doesn't seem arrogant at all. Zhuge Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Zhuge Tao did not dare to be too casual. After all, his elder brother Zhuge Shan had just told him that Yang Wu had defeated a war god with the Black God Set and had three beings beyond the war god level appeared to win him over.

"Yang Wu, the two low-level lord-level monsters you hunted, the Silver Lightning Python, cost 10 billion Chinese Yuan and 50 contribution points, while the Tiger Cat cost 8 million Chinese Yuan and 40 contribution points," Zhuge Tao said with a smile. "You will receive a total of 18 billion Chinese Yuan and 90 contribution points."

"No problem!" Yang Wu nodded and said with a smile, "Please reassess my battle record and re-certify my title!"

"Yes!" Zhuge Tao replied respectfully.

He certainly knew Yang Wu's purpose in coming here; that lord-level tiger cat was a gift from his elder brother, Zhuge Shan.

Zhuge Tao scrolled across the computer screen and then said, "Yang Wu, your battle record has been reassessed, and you are now at the War God level (beginner). When you become a War God, you will usually receive an invitation from the War God Palace. After the War God Palace sends someone to test your strength, you can get the 'Consciousness Sensor' for free."

"However..." Zhuge Tao smiled and said, "With your strength, you probably won't need to undergo any more strength testing. Perhaps someone will send you a 'consciousness sensor' soon."

Before Zhuge Tao could finish speaking, a "ding" sound was heard.

A piercing sound rang out.

A new pop-up window appeared on the computer screen in front of Zhuge Tao—"War God Palace Assessment Passed!"

"Just as I thought!" Zhuge Tao exclaimed inwardly, "No wonder he's a genius martial artist who could attract the attention of three beings surpassing the level of a War God!"

Although it is rare for someone to pass the assessment directly, Yang Wu's abilities were recognized by the councilor, so he was naturally exempt from the assessment.

"Yang Wu!" Zhuge Tao personally brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Yang Wu, saying with a smile, "Please sit down and wait a moment; someone will bring the things over shortly!"

Yang Wu smiled and nodded.

A moment later—

The door to the reception room opened automatically, and three men in uniforms walked in. The man in the lead carried a metal box and respectfully said to Yang Wu, "War God Yang Wu, welcome to the War God Palace. You will receive a consciousness sensor helmet free of charge. With this consciousness sensor helmet, you can directly enter the virtual space anywhere on Earth by wearing the helmet."

"They arrived so quickly?" Yang Wu was somewhat surprised, then thought to himself, "It seems that each base city has a stockpile of consciousness-sensing helmets."

"Becoming a member of the War God Palace grants you many special privileges. Of course, these special privileges also come with special responsibilities." The leading man handed the metal box to Yang Wu and said, "Once you, War God Yang Wu, use your consciousness sensor to enter the virtual space, you will learn about the many special privileges of the War God Palace."

"Thank you." Yang Wu smiled as he accepted the metal box.

My fingers traced the clasp.

With a beep, the metal box opened, revealing a dark blue helmet inside.

"Manager Zhuge, I have other matters to attend to today, so I won't stay any longer. Let's have a drink together again sometime. Goodbye, everyone."

After saying that, Yang Wu put the metal box into the backpack behind him and walked out of the meeting room with a smile.

"From that day forward, the Palace of the God of War gained another God of War!"

In the conference room, Zhuge Tao sighed, "I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to become a God of War in my lifetime?"

"Zhuge!"

Clearly, the three men who delivered the helmet were quite familiar with Zhuge Tao. One of them said with a smile, "You've been a manager for so many years, you must have saved up quite a bit of money. You could easily buy a Blue Demon's Tear or Jade Marrow to try and break through!"

"A chalcedony worth 300 billion? I can't afford it!" Zhuge Tao shook his head and said.

"However, buying a copy of Blue Demon's Tear is an option. If I get my brother's help, I could probably get it for 70 billion. Why don't we give it a try?"

At that moment, Zhuge Tao suddenly felt a little tempted.

Originally, he had given up on the idea of ​​breaking through to the God of War level, but Yang Wu actually broke through from a quasi-martial artist to the God of War level in just a few months, which really stimulated him.

Meanwhile, after returning home, Yang Wu immediately went to his room and took out the "Consciousness Sensor" helmet.

He had heard Deng Tong and others mention the wonders of the War God Palace before, and now that he had the chance to see it for himself, he couldn't resist.

"brush!"

Yang Wu locked the doors and windows, put on his helmet, and sat cross-legged on the bed like a statue.

Enter the virtual space!

Then, Yang Wu, dressed in a simple white robe, appeared in a quiet, large room.

The room is over 50 meters long and about 20 meters wide.

Bed, swimming pool, desk and chair, luxury dining table, lounge chair, meditation area with yoga mats...

The room, which spans over 1,000 square meters, is neatly divided into many areas.

"Welcome, War God Yang Wu." An electronic voice suddenly rang out.

"This is your private room in the Palace of the God of War. No one except you may enter your room."

"There is a copy of the 'War God Palace Regulations' on your desk. Please read it yourself! Have fun in the War God Palace."

The electronic sound disappeared.

Yang Wu immediately went to the desk, opened the black cover of the "War God Palace Regulations," and found that there was only one sheet of paper inside.

"Welcome to the Palace of War Gods."

"The War God Palace is the strongest organization of human martial artists, jointly founded by First Speaker Hong and Second Speaker Thor. All War Gods and beings beyond War Gods on Earth are members of the War God Palace. The management of the War God Palace is the War God Palace Council. Only beings beyond War Gods are qualified to become members of the Council."

"And the council has five speakers. These five are the five strongest individuals on Earth!"

"The War God Palace features a shop, auction hall, arena plaza, trial tower... and many other functions waiting for you to discover!"

It's just a short piece of paper.

After reading it, Yang Wu pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

Following the corridor, Yang Wu arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

The moment Yang Wu stepped onto the gleaming floor tiles of the first-floor lobby, the entire lobby suddenly darkened, transforming from its previously soft and comfortable lighting into a dim gloom. The previously soothing music also vanished instantly.

Whoosh! The hundreds of war gods who were talking amongst themselves in the hall all turned to look at the stairwell almost simultaneously.

"when!"

As a crisp sound rang out, joyful music immediately filled the entire hall.

Hundreds of warriors from all over the world stood up in the hall, some even clapping.

brush!

A faint light shone down on Yang Wu below.

"The Palace of War Gods welcomes a new God of War, his name is... Yang Wu!"

A voice as clear as a god's echoed! Simultaneously, a three-dimensional virtual projection appeared above the hall, displaying large, three-dimensional characters—

Name: Yang Wu

Nationality: China

Rank: War God (Beginner)

The three simple lines of text are all three-dimensional, floating in mid-air.

"The total number of war gods in human society has now increased by one, reaching 3507!"

Thor's voice echoed in the hall, and the numbers on the huge display screen on the hall wall changed from '3506' to '3507'.

"Yang Wu, the God of War!" A voice rang out, and a figure walked over from not far away.

"Zhuge the God of War!" Yang Wu recognized the newcomer as Zhuge Shan, the God of War who had once gifted him Lord-level Tiger Cat materials.

After receiving the message from his younger brother Zhuge Tao, Zhuge Shan immediately went to the War God Palace to wait for Yang Wu.

He had already shown Yang Wu considerable respect, otherwise he wouldn't have given him monster materials worth over a billion. But who could have imagined that Yang Wu would actually alarm three planetary-level beings?

That's incredible.

Fortunately, I had already established a good relationship with the other party, and we had a friendship.

"Yang Wu, come on, let me introduce you to the other war gods!" Zhuge Shan warmly greeted Yang Wu.
