Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 100: Meng Chuan Joins the Eternal Tower
The Sanwan River system belongs to the Shennv River basin.

Legend has it that a powerful female cultivator at the eighth tribulation realm once descended upon this river region to preach and teach, hence the name Goddess River Region.

The entire Goddess River region has a total of eight powerful beings at the Sixth Tribulation Realm.

Now, one of Zhou Yu's primordial spirit clones, the ninth person to reach the Sixth Tribulation Realm, has arrived outside a special star called "Red Serpent Star" within the Goddess River Region.

This is the lair of the Crimson Serpent Star Lord, a sixth-level Tribulation Realm expert, and also the headquarters of the Eternal Tower in the Goddess River Region.

Throughout the entire river of time and space, there exist numerous top-tier forces. These forces were all established by individuals at the Eighth Tribulation Realm. Although those at the Eighth Tribulation Realm rarely appear in public, their influence alone is enough to place these forces among the most powerful.

Eternal Tower is one of the top powers.

Each top power has a different positioning. The Eternal Tower is a business that deals in buying and selling. It is said that as long as you can afford the price, they can provide any treasure in the River of Time.

Of course, this is just a claim; in reality, there are still many things that Eternal Tower cannot provide.

call!
Zhou Yu stood outside the Crimson Serpent Star. With a thought, his primordial spirit world instantly enveloped 3.3 billion miles of spacetime, causing all spacetime except for the Crimson Serpent Star to freeze for a moment.

However, Zhou Yu only released it slightly before quickly withdrawing his primordial spirit world.

But even a slight movement from someone at the Sixth Tribulation Realm is enough to cause a huge commotion.

Inside the Crimson Serpent Star, a gaunt old man suddenly looked out into the void.

Swish!
The old man's avatar instantly appeared outside. He looked at Zhou Yu and asked with some curiosity, "Who are you, sir?"

"My name is Qian Yu. I have long admired the name of the Crimson Serpent Star Lord and have come to pay my respects," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Serpent Star Lord relaxed his vigilance by a third; it seemed they weren't here to cause trouble.

"So it's Brother Qianyu." The Crimson Serpent Star Lord said with a smile, "But you look quite unfamiliar. May I ask what brings you to my Goddess River Region?"

"I want to join the Eternal Tower," Zhou Yu stated his purpose directly.

"Join the Eternal Tower?"

The Crimson Serpent Star Lord was stunned upon hearing this.

This guy named Qianyu is clearly at the sixth tribulation realm.

He didn't recognize the other person and thought he was a sixth-level tribulation cultivator who had just broken through to the sixth level in some distant river region.

But then, the other party surprisingly asked to join the Eternal Tower?
In the long river of time, not everyone can join the Eternal Tower, but as long as one reaches the Fifth Tribulation Realm, there will be no obstacles to joining the Eternal Tower.

In fact, almost all those who reach the Fifth Tribulation Realm will join a top-tier power.

I've never heard of someone who's cultivated to the Sixth Tribulation Realm but hasn't joined a top-tier power before, but it seems I've met one today?
The Crimson Serpent Star Lord asked repeatedly to make sure he hadn't made a mistake.

"Brother Qianyu, come with me first." The Crimson Serpent Star Lord quickly invited Zhou Yu into the Crimson Serpent Star.

“Brother Qianyu, you are at the Sixth Tribulation Realm. To join the Eternal Tower, you need to go to the headquarters to see the Eye of Eternity. I have already sent a message to the headquarters for you, and I expect to hear back soon.” The Crimson Serpent Star Lord laughed. “I have had some delicious food and wine prepared. Why don’t you come and enjoy it with me, brother?”

"Then thank you very much, Brother Red Serpent," Zhou Yu agreed.

Although he only came as a primordial spirit clone, he could still eat and drink normally.

"Alright, come with me," the Crimson Serpent Star Lord said with a smile.

He actually had a lot of questions, and this was a good opportunity to ask them.

Banquet room.

"Brother Qianyu is actually from the Sanwan River System?"

"Cangyuan Realm? I've heard of it. Ancestor Cangyuan was also an extremely powerful Seven Tribulation Realm expert."

"."

The Crimson Serpent Star Lord quickly figured out Zhou Yu's background, and he was also surprised.

Zhou Yu didn't hide any of these things from him.

To join the Eternal Tower, these things cannot be hidden, nor is there any need to conceal them.

Zhou Yu's only concern was his cultivation time, so when he reached the Fifth Tribulation Realm, he didn't rush to join these top forces.

Even after reaching the sixth tribulation realm, Zhou Yu originally planned to cultivate in seclusion for a while before making any further progress. After all, with his talent, even if he cultivated in seclusion, his progress would not be slow.

Now, with the help of Eternal Existence, Zhou Yu no longer had his previous concerns.

Among the many forces in the River of Time, the reason he chose the Eternal Tower was twofold: firstly, because Ancestor Cangyuan was once a high-ranking member of the Eternal Tower and was quite familiar with it; secondly, the Eternal Tower was a relatively loose organization with the fewest constraints.

Unlike other organizations, joining one involves facing numerous tasks.

While the Crimson Serpent Star Lord was speaking to Zhou Yu, in a hidden place in the River of Time and Space, which was also the headquarters of the Eternal Tower, a huge golden eye appeared.

The Eye of Eternity is the manager of the Eternal Tower. Although it is not a true life form, its various abilities are almost equivalent to those of a Seventh Tribulation Realm expert.

"Zhou Yu of the Cangyuan Realm, I can't see his past." The Eye of Eternity can now see Zhou Yu drinking with the Crimson Serpent Star Lord.

With its abilities, it could see through the cultivation experience of a sixth-tribulation realm cultivator at a glance, but it couldn't see through Zhou Yu. It could only confirm that the other party was indeed from the Cangyuan Realm through cause and effect.

"It seems he has had some special experiences." The Eye of Eternity didn't think much of it.

There are countless powerful individuals born throughout the long river of time, and many with special opportunities; Zhou Yu is just one of them.

Soon, the Eye of Eternity ordered Zhou Yu to come to headquarters.

The headquarters of the Eternal Tower is extremely secretive; even a powerful expert at the Seventh Tribulation Realm cannot find it and must be reached via teleportation from a River Domain-level headquarters.

After receiving the order from the Eye of Eternity, the Crimson Serpent Star Lord teleported Zhou Yu.

The headquarters of the Time-Space Tower is an incomparably majestic building that emits seven-colored light, enveloping all time-space layers. It is precisely because of this that even those at the Seventh Tribulation Realm cannot find this place.

Wow!
Zhou Yu appeared in the starry sky in front of these tall buildings, which were surrounded by stars in addition to the towering buildings.

call.

The enormous golden eye reappeared, looking at Zhou Yu once more at close range, trying to see his past, but all it saw was a hazy golden expanse.

"Cangyuan Realm, Emperor Qianyu Zhou Yu, you have joined the Eternal Tower. Are you willing to abide by the ninety-nine rules of the Eternal Tower?" the Eye of Eternity inquired.

"willing."

Zhou Yu nodded naturally.

Soon, under the witness of the Eye of Eternity, he personally acknowledged the ninety-nine regulations, which can be considered as establishing a great cause and effect.

These ninety-nine regulations are all quite lenient, which is why Zhou Yu was willing to join the Eternal Tower.

After Zhou Yu acknowledged the ninety-nine regulations, two tokens flew towards him from the void.

One piece is wrapped in gold thread, the other shimmers with starlight.

The gold-wrapped tokens are the identity tokens of Eternal Tower members. With these tokens, they can contact Eternal Tower headquarters or other Eternal Tower members at the sixth or seventh tribulation level at any time.

The item glowing with starlight is the "Nebula Token," which allows one to descend upon the Nebula Palace with a single thought.

Nebula Palace is the undisputed greatest power in the entire river of time.

Almost all the experts at the sixth and seventh tribulation realms were among them.

Because Nebula Palace is even freer than Eternal Tower, it is entirely a place for communication and is not bound by any rules.

Moreover, when consciousness descends into the Nebula Palace, a physical body can be formed within it, making it a good place for different powerful individuals to spar and compete.

Zhou Yu quickly refined the two tokens. From this moment on, he truly stepped into the open of the river of time and space, and all the powerful figures would know of his existence.

Unlike before, when even the Crimson Serpent Star Lord of the same river region didn't recognize him.

"The advantage of stepping into the spotlight is that I will have access to a lot more resources," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Before, he had been studying on his own, and had never actually seen any high-end resources, but now it's different.

Zhou Yu immediately began searching for suitable martial arts manuals in the Eternal Tower.

Although Ancestor Cangyuan also tried his best to collect many classic texts, they could not compare with the accumulation of the Eternal Tower.

“The Void Record is undoubtedly what I need.” Zhou Yu quickly identified his first target. The Void Record is a classic text of the spatial lineage and is suitable for any cultivator. Throughout the entire river of time and space, it can be considered the most helpful text for comprehending the rules of space.

Legend has it that the "Void Record" was written by an eternal being.

"This book has many advantages and can also serve as an aid in my understanding of 'Eternal Time and Space,' but it has only one disadvantage: it's expensive," Zhou Yu sighed.

As a member of the Eternal Tower at the sixth tribulation level, he could choose to purchase it directly with extraterrestrial crystals, but the Void Record consists of three volumes, each requiring 300,000 extraterrestrial crystals.

The three volumes together cost 900,000 extraterrestrial elemental crystals, which even those at the sixth tribulation realm cannot afford.

It was only because Zhou Yu obtained the treasure of Ancestor Cangyuan that he was able to quickly produce such a large sum of wealth.

In addition to the "Void Records", Zhou Yu also purchased three other books: "The Book of Destiny", "Time Is Hard to Pass", and "The Tribulations of Time" – three time-related books.

These three classic texts correspond to the three major branches of time rules: the future rules, the present rules, and the past rules.

The three books are far inferior to the "Void Records" in terms of level, but the books involving the rules of time are undoubtedly more precious, so they are also not cheap. The three books together cost a total of 53 extraterrestrial crystals.

That's a huge expense.

"My resources for cultivation texts have gone from ordinary to among the best in the entire river of time and space," Zhou Yu understood.

It has the "Eternal Spacetime" passed down by the Eternal Being himself, and is supplemented by other classics such as the "Void Record".

Unless he prioritizes quantity over quality, he has already reached the pinnacle in terms of the quality of his classic works.

As for resources outside of classical texts.

Then there's no rush. All the top resources in the River of Time and Space have been occupied by the forces established by the various Seventh Tribulation Realm experts. If you want to enjoy these resources, you must join the ranks of these Seventh Tribulation Realm experts; otherwise, you can forget about getting any.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll try to figure it out myself first," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

After Zhou Yu joined the Eternal Tower, his existence was quickly known to many forces. In the Nebula Palace, many forces extended olive branches to win over Zhou Yu.

A sixth-level Tribulation Realm cultivator is a core force in any power and is absolutely worth recruiting. Every additional sixth-level Tribulation Realm cultivator adds to the strength of the force.

However, despite being courted by various forces, Zhou Yu did not rush to join them.

Gradually, no one came looking for him anymore.

"Going it alone won't work in the long river of time. Soon, Emperor Qianyu will probably find out." Many people who came to win him over shook their heads inwardly.

In the past, there have been six-tribulation realm cultivators who did not join any faction, but they almost all suffered great losses. After all, not to mention enjoying some top-level resources, even in the competition for resources, others would come in groups. How could you fight alone?
. . .

Time is passing by
In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed since Zhou Yu joined the Eternal Tower.

Zhou Yu sat cross-legged on Yuanchu Mountain, his gaze sweeping over the entire Cangyuan Realm.

"Although I helped my master extend his life, he couldn't live any longer on his own." Zhou Yu could see through all the possibilities for his master Li Guan at this moment, and none of them were things he could overcome on his own.

Zhou Yu wasn't surprised; most Venerables in the Cangyuan Realm couldn't break through on their own.

Only a few people, such as Qin Wu and Bai Yaoyue, have the ability to break through. Among them, Bai Yaoyue has already mastered the rules of the Heaven and Earth Realm because she went to the outer realm with his primordial spirit clone and saw many strange sights. She is only seven levels away from becoming an emperor.

“Among gods, demons, or mortals, there are occasionally some with potential.” Zhou Yu observed the futures of many mortals and gods and demons.

The weaker they are, the easier it is to observe their future, because there are fewer "changes" beyond Zhou Yu's observation range. With fewer changes, their fate is already determined, making it easier to observe.

For some mortals, gods, and demons with great potential, Zhou Yu would send out his avatars to give them guidance and even bestow some treasures upon them.

"However, even ordinary gods and demons can undergo transformation," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

During this time, he discovered a god-demon who had previously been unremarkable and had no chance of becoming a Venerable. However, after returning from a training trip to the demon world, he had about a 30% chance of becoming a Creation Venerable.

With Zhou Yu's help, their chances soared to 70%, and they even had a sliver of hope of becoming an emperor.

"In the future, a genius should be born among my descendants." Zhou Yu observed the near future.

"Meng Chuan?" Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback.

He tried hard to see more clearly, but his understanding was not deep enough.

He hadn't been studying the "Scripture of Destiny" for very long, and his understanding of the rules of the future wasn't very deep. He could see the future of beings in a small world, but it was difficult for beings that were too powerful, and he couldn't see the future that was too distant or involved too much.

"Although I can't see clearly, it's possible. After all, my descendants also have Bai family blood, and some even chose to marry into the Bai family, resulting in some of the Bai family's descendants also having my blood." Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Just like Ji Ning, Meng Chuan is, after all, the chosen one of this world, and is quite special.

Zhou Yu decided to keep a close eye on him and nurture him properly once he was born.

Although the Cangyuan Realm is no longer plagued by demon races, there are still alternative methods to cultivate them.

...

Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu discovered that Meng Chuan had been born. Just as Zhou Yu had predicted, Meng Chuan's mother was a member of the Bai family with his bloodline.

Meng Chuan did not have a happy childhood. Her mother and father had a huge difference in social status. After her mother was forcibly taken away, the father and son were even hunted down.

Amidst the turmoil, Meng Chuan grew up little by little. Although he faced many crises, Zhou Yu was always watching over him, and he always escaped unscathed.

Gradually, Meng Chuan displayed his talent in the primordial spirit, and under Zhou Yu's guidance, he became a disciple of Yuanchu Mountain.

Only then did Zhou Yu step forward and accept him as a disciple.

“Meng Chuan has a high talent for primordial spirit, but his skills are lacking.” Zhou Yu noticed the problem after observing him.

"We still need to guide him down the path of ultimate techniques, to create ultimate techniques, which will also be a test of his talent." Zhou Yu quickly determined the direction of his teaching.

Within the Cangyuan Realm, a storm was brewing.

Before we knew it, more than a hundred years had passed.

Since acquiring numerous precious books, Zhou Yu's progress has accelerated rapidly.

The fastest progress was in the "Void Walking" branch of the spatial rules, which is an advanced rule of teleportation. Zhou Yu had a foundation from before, so his progress was naturally fast, and he naturally comprehended this branch.

The progress of the "present rule" of time rules is also rapid. Firstly, Zhou Yu has the foundation of the "slow rule," and secondly, his understanding of time in other worlds has been of the greatest help in understanding the present rule.

The other two major branches of the time rule, the future rule and the past rule, are the slowest to progress.

First, these two rules are more difficult. Although they are both rules of the sixth tribulation realm, only a very small number of sixth tribulation realm cultivators have the potential to master them, and most of those who comprehend them are at the seventh tribulation realm. Second, Zhou Yu's accumulation in other worlds has little help for these two rules. He started from almost zero, so his progress was naturally slow.

Of course, the so-called slow progress is only relative to other rules. In fact, when it comes to the progress of these two rules alone, Zhou Yu can be described as making rapid progress.

In just twenty years of studying the "Scripture of Destiny," he was able to foresee the future of the Cangyuan Realm.

The Jiaoyue River System.

Zhou Yu's true form from beyond the realm remained on that Taiyin star.

In fact, with his current strength, it wouldn't take him too long to travel between the two river regions. Even if he returned to the Goddess River Region, he could easily come back in the future.

But Zhou Yu was already used to being here, so he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

this day--

The Lord of Dongting Star came here once again, still to invite Zhou Yu to explore the cave with them.

This is already the third time.

Zhou Yu had refused the previous two times because he had to undergo tribulation, but this time, after thinking it over, he agreed.

He was also curious about what it was that made the Eastern Pavilion Star Lord invite him one after another.

"That's wonderful! Brother Qianyu, you're at the Nascent Soul Tribulation Realm. With you joining us, we're like a tiger with wings!" The Star Lord of Dongting was also very happy to see Zhou Yu agree.

Zhou Yu didn't say much after hearing this, but asked, "When do we depart?"

"The sooner the better."

The Lord of Dongting Star immediately spoke.

P.S.: That's all. I'll add more later if needed.
