Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 64 Domain

"Current simulation attempt: 1. Start The Sims now?"

"Yes!" Yang Wu immediately gave the order in his mind.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the simulator panel in front of Yang Wu.

"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. Courage; 2. Greed; 3. Selfishness."

Unsurprisingly, Yang Wu chose the courageous personality type.

Next, a large amount of text began to appear on the simulator panel.

[At 24 years old, your physical attributes have reached the intermediate level of a war god. Your marksmanship and movement skills have both reached the perfect level. You have also mastered the second level of the ultimate marksmanship technique, "World Destroyer," and your physical strength has reached three times your normal level.]

[In December, you went to the headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy and were appointed as the Inspector of the Jiangnan Base City by the Academy's headmaster, "Hong".]

At 25, you continuously ventured into the wilderness to hunt monsters. Your marksmanship reached a high level, and your movement skills also improved significantly.

[In March, due to your continuous purchase of Dragon Blood to improve your physical attributes, your physical attributes broke through to the Advanced War God level.]

[In September, because you obtained the Black God Set ahead of schedule, you will need to travel to Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9.]

[During the trials at the Ancient Civilization Ruins, you faced a life-or-death crisis. Your "Apocalypse" spear technique broke through to the third level, and your power increased fourfold. Subsequently, you passed the trial at Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 and successfully obtained the Black God Set.]

[You handed over the Black God Set to the martial arts school, receiving two Thousand-Year Willow Hearts in return. After consuming one Thousand-Year Willow Heart, your physical attributes reached the peak of a High-Level War God.]

At 26, you dedicated yourself to cultivation. With the assistance of the spirits of plants and trees, you successfully broke through to the first level of the Planetary Realm, becoming the sixth Inspector of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy. Your spearmanship and movement techniques also continued to improve. Simultaneously, you mastered the "World Destroyer" spear technique to its fourth level, increasing your power output fivefold.

[You are cultivating at home when you suddenly receive a distress call from Luo Hua, the younger brother of your friend Luo Feng. It turns out that a high-level War God, 'Vulture' Li Yao, is targeting Luo Feng's family. Luo Feng is a high-ranking member of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and also your friend; Mingyue Residential Area is now your stronghold. Therefore, you directly submit the evidence to the five council chairmen, and ultimately, the War God Palace Council sentences 'Vulture' Li Yao to death. This also offends Yan Hai, the powerful council member who previously pleaded for Li Yao's life.]

In December, a terrifying Emperor-level monster suddenly appeared on a fog-shrouded island in Australia. Last year, the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy obtained a large amount of plant spirits there, attracting powerful individuals from around the world. You, too, followed the world's strongest fighter, "Hong," to this location.

[Luo Feng, who entered the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins with you, actually emerged alive and possessed the strength of a councilor. This news shocked everyone. Luo Feng was extremely grateful to you after learning the news from his family.]

[At 27, a newly appeared Emperor-level monster on Kirishima Island was slain by Hong. A mysterious treasure called Wood Sprout Crystal was discovered underwater, sparking a fierce battle among various factions. During your battles with other beings surpassing even the God of War level, you mastered the fifth level of the "World Destruction" spear technique, increasing your power sixfold. Ultimately, you obtained three Wood Sprout Crystals.]

[You paid the price of a Wood Sprout Crystal to have the world's strongest expert, 'Hong,' guide you in cultivating the sixth level of the 'World Annihilation' spear technique. Your talent is considerable, and Hong shared his knowledge without reservation, meticulously instructing you for a month. Unfortunately, you still only have a vague understanding, like trying to see flowers through a fog. At Hong's suggestion, you began extensively studying ancient Chinese texts, attempting to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.]

[After returning home, you were surprised to find ten Wood Sprout Crystals in your locked room. When you asked your family, they knew nothing about them. You recalled Luo Feng's display of strength during the battle for the Wood Sprout Crystals, and a realization dawned on you.]

Many powerful forces wanted to exchange their Wood Sprout Crystals for your Wood Sprout Crystals, but unfortunately, you had no interest in them. Therefore, you used the dozen or so Wood Sprout Crystals to cultivate your Genetic Energy and to exchange for the opportunity to receive guidance from the Pavilion Master. In one year, with the aid of the Wood Sprout Crystals, you successfully cultivated to the third tier of the Planetary level, and your personal cultivation level also rapidly improved under Hong's careful guidance.

[At 28, a terrifying monster suddenly appeared on Earth, its strength reaching the level of the Celestial Realm. Humanity tried every method, but failed to kill it. Hong and Thor decided to burn their domains in a desperate battle. They were defeated, but during their fight, your understanding of the sixth level of "World Destruction" deepened.]

The monsters continue to ravage the globe, and no human can resist! Finally, your friend Luo Feng steps forward, but he needs the willing sacrifice of five powerful individuals to gather their combined strength in order to fight the monsters.

[In this time of crisis, the world's strongest individuals volunteered. Your strength ranks among the top five of the remaining contenders, and thus, you became one of the five to sacrifice your soul.]

After bidding farewell to your family, you and five others formed the six points of the formation. The formation activated, and your soul began to burn. During this process, you finally fully comprehended the realm described in the sixth level of "World Destruction"—the Realm of Domains.

[However, once a soul is ignited within the formation, it cannot be stopped. Of course, even if it could be interrupted, you wouldn't do it. You also begin to burn your own domain, making Luo Feng at the center of the formation even stronger.]

Your breath grew weaker and weaker, and finally, you left this world with a glimmer of hope and expectation.

……

The simulation ended, and Yang Wu remained in a daze for a long time.

Yang Wu could sense a powerful spirit just from the words in the simulator!

Even though it was just a simulation, Yang Wu was incredibly fortunate to be one of the few who could face death with equanimity!

Yang Wu wondered what he would do if he were really faced with this situation in reality? Would he be able to face death calmly?

But he did it in the simulator!

Yang Wu had always felt that he was just a prop in the simulator, but this time, he admired his simulator self for having the courage to face death so calmly.

"Don't worry, with me here this time, I'll make sure this never happens again!"

Yang Wu silently made this promise in his heart.

With the help of the simulator, he would never allow the scenes from the simulator to reappear in reality.

……

[The simulation has ended. You can choose one of the following rewards.]

[First, his martial arts cultivation at age 28.]

[Part Two: Martial Arts Insights at Age 28.]

[Part Three: Simulated Life Experiences.]

"I choose option two!"

With a planetary-level third-tier physical physique and a domain that even cosmic-level powerhouses might not be able to comprehend, Yang Wu naturally knew how to choose.

The moment Yang Wu made his choice, countless insights flooded his mind.

At this moment, the "World Destroyer" spear technique had been completely mastered, and a peculiar energy formed within Yang Wu's body, slowly improving his physical attributes.

"Flame Domain!"

Sensing the strange fluctuations within his body, Yang Wu instantly understood the attributes of his domain. However, he was currently unable to project his Force externally, a feat typically achieved only at the planetary level, and therefore could not fully appreciate the wonders of his domain.

"Then, the next step is to work hard to improve my physical fitness!"

A rare sense of urgency arose in Yang Wu's heart. Although humanity had won the battle for survival against the Golden Horned Beast, it had paid a heavy price.

This time, however, Yang Wu absolutely did not want the tragedy to repeat itself!

I've always felt that the sacrifice of Jia Yi and the others was the highlight of the Earth arc. I remember crying when I first saw that part.

Of course, that was many years ago. Now my heart is cold, and I'm not so sentimental anymore.

However, let's leave a trace of that initial feeling of being moved. Since there's a main character present, this situation won't occur when the Golden Horned Beast appears, but it's still worth writing about in the simulation.
