Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 107 Reunion with the Holy Lord of Kirito in the Path of Time and Space
The events that occurred in the Xia Clan world were just a minor episode for Zhou Yu; his main focus remained on comprehending the Divine Heart of Cause and Effect.

Before we knew it, more than a century had passed.

"The biggest impact of absorbing so much faith power back then was on my understanding of the Divine Heart of Cause and Effect. Fortunately, the faith power I absorbed mainly came from the World of Flames, and it wasn't much compared to the other gods of the Three Heavens."

Zhou Yu sat cross-legged in the temple of the Flame World. At this moment, countless "causal lines" became clear in his eyes. Most of these causal lines were related to the Flame World and were the causal results of Zhou Yu absorbing the power of faith.

Perhaps the causal effect of a single act of faith is insignificant, with negligible impact, but when the number of such acts increases, the consequences become terrifying.

Many gods of the Fourth Heaven are unable to comprehend the complete rules of heaven and earth, and many of them are because they have absorbed too much faith power in the past. The most affected by faith power is the God Heart of Cause and Effect.

"However, I finally figured it out," Zhou Yu sighed. Although he was somewhat interfered with, his extraordinary talent was there, and he also had a certain foundation in other worlds, so he could overcome this interference.

At this moment, inside Zhou Yu's body, a much smaller version of Zhou Yu sat cross-legged.

This is the appearance of Zhou Yu's soul, and also his true divine heart.

He formed his original divine heart based on the spacetime divine heart, and later incorporated the material divine heart and the world divine heart, but the spacetime divine heart was still the main one.

Now, the fourth type of divine mind, the causal divine mind, is also beginning to be integrated.

Without any hindrance, the divine mind of cause and effect merged into it.

this moment--

Rumble!
Zhou Yu's true divine heart underwent a qualitative change, and dazzling light burst forth from it, each beam containing astonishing power.

At this moment, countless insights also welled up in Zhou Yu's mind.

The complete rules of heaven and earth contain a total of nine first-grade divine hearts. Even when Zhou Yu mastered three of them, he still could not clearly comprehend the operation of the entire set of rules of heaven and earth.

But mastering these four will immediately bring about a qualitative change.

These four first-grade divine hearts are the foundation. Based on this foundation, all the other mysteries of the rules of heaven and earth flowed into Zhou Yu's heart.

Chaos, creation, primordial chaos, immeasurable, extreme point. Zhou Yu was rapidly comprehending the mysteries of each of the first-grade divine hearts, and he was gradually gaining a complete understanding of the rules of the entire world.

While Zhou Yu in the Fiery World was comprehending the complete rules of heaven and earth, another of Zhou Yu's clones in the Blood God Star of the God Realm was pondering suitable moves and secret techniques in a cave with time accelerated a hundredfold.

While the outside world has been in existence for two hundred years, he has been researching in this cave for twenty thousand years. With his thinking speed increased a hundredfold, Zhou Yu has already created dozens of secret techniques in a short period of time.

The most powerful move is almost equivalent to that of a fourth-level celestial god.

But he could only get close; no matter how much research he did before, he couldn't create any more powerful moves.

But at this moment, once he mastered the fourth type of first-grade divine heart, his understanding of the complete rules of heaven and earth underwent a qualitative change, and Zhou Yu immediately felt different.

Zhou Yu sat there cross-legged, using only a small amount of strength, and thrust his hand forward.

hum!
A spacetime vortex suddenly appeared, naturally creating a terrifying tearing force.

"In terms of power, this move is dozens of times stronger than the strongest move before, and it can be considered top-tier among the fourth-level Heavenly Gods." Zhou Yu pondered for a moment.

He unleashed another palm strike, which shattered space and time. Although it was only a palm strike using very little of Zhou Yu's power, its power was enough to easily kill an ordinary World God.

This palm strike was clearly stronger than the previous one.

call!call!call!
Zhou Yu kept experimenting with his moves, and the power of his moves kept increasing.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's accumulated knowledge from other worlds and his 20,000 years of honing his secret techniques all began to rapidly transform into strength.

By the 62nd move, Zhou Yu's power had reached the level of an ordinary great power.

But he was still not satisfied and continued to ponder and research.

Blood God Star.

In another cave near Zhou Yu's dwelling, several World Gods were also drinking and chatting.

“Zhou Yu has offended the Blood Sea Monarch, so he definitely won’t be coming out anytime soon.”

"It's a pity about all those divine crystals he has. I wonder what he plans to do with them?"

"Even if he risks leaving in the future, he wouldn't take the divine crystal with him to Blood God Star, would he?"

"."

The group chatted casually.

Zhou Yu never sent the divine crystals he obtained through the transaction back to the Flamefire World. After all, his other avatar in the Flamefire World could never leave, and this avatar never left Blood God Star, so the divine crystals were naturally not sent back.

At this time, only a hundred years had passed since the Blood Sea Monarch threatened Zhou Yu. This matter was the focus of attention in the Abyss of the God Realm, and the World Gods on Blood God Star were even more concerned.

"In any case, you'd better not get your hands on those divine crystals. Doing anything rashly might attract the attention of the Blood Sea Monarch, which would be a loss."

"Yes, the Blood Sea Monarch has a bad temper, and it's really not worth getting his attention."

"Zhou Yu was too audacious. Relying on his status as the Lord of the Material Realm, he dared to go against the Blood Sea Monarch. Was it worth it for a World God-level secret technique manual? Now he's lost everything. The Blood Sea Monarch has declared that no one will dare to seek him out to learn secret techniques anymore."

"I don't believe that a third-level Heavenly God is a fool. Would he really do anything for just a little bit of divine crystal? In my opinion, it might be related to Zhou Yu's identity before his reincarnation."

"That makes some sense."

"."

The group was talking, and just then—

Boom!

A terrifying wave suddenly erupted not far away, and the aftershocks passed through the defensive array of this cave and reached several World Gods.

boom! boom! boom!
The group was instantly blasted away, crashing heavily into the cave's magic array.

The terrifying impact shattered their physical bodies instantly, but fortunately, each World God possessed extremely strong life-saving abilities, allowing them to recover quickly.

"What happened? Has someone attacked Blood God Star?"

"Who is so bold?"

Ignoring their injuries, the several World Gods rushed out of the cave.

Only then did they realize that above Blood God Star, the heavens and earth seemed to have been sliced ​​open, and a spacetime rift spanning billions of miles had appeared there.

"What a terrifying attack! It must be the work of a powerful being!" Several World Gods held their breath.

Blood God Star is covered with layers of magic arrays, yet it still caused such widespread destruction in an instant. One can imagine how terrifying this attack was.

And at this time.

Swish!
The Fire Moon Goddess, with fiery red eyebrows, appeared nearby.

Fire Moon Realm God frowned as he looked at the spacetime rift. He controlled the entire Blood God Star's magic array, so he naturally knew that this was not an external attack, but rather came from within Blood God Star itself.

"It originated from Zhou Yu's cave." The Fire Moon Realm God quickly located the target.

call!
At this moment, Zhou Yu's figure also appeared above the cave. He noticed the Fire Moon Realm God and flew over to him.

"I was just testing a move and accidentally exceeded the defensive limit of the cave's array. I will compensate for any losses caused," Zhou Yu explained.

"A test move? You?" Fire Moon Goddess couldn't believe it.

"Correct."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"You were hiding your strength before?" Fire Moon Realm God realized this instantly.

Otherwise, Zhou Yu would never have made such great progress in just a hundred years.

If Zhou Yu had accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience beforehand, and happened to break through within the last hundred years to become a fourth-level Heavenly God, that is indeed possible.

But that attack just now, in terms of power, was not something that an ordinary fourth-level heavenly god could unleash.

He has definitely reached the level of a great being.

Only such an attack could surpass the defensive limits of a top-tier cave dwelling's magic array.

"I guess you could say they've been hiding some of their strength," Zhou Yu said without elaborating.

"With your strength and status as a lord of the material world, why did you choose to hide?" Fire Moon World God asked curiously.

"There are some reasons." Zhou Yu smiled, and Huo Yue Realm God didn't ask any further questions.

"I will report your situation to His Majesty the God Emperor. If you wish, you can continue to stay on Blood God Star for a while longer. I will find you a different cave dwelling."

The Fire Moon Realm God said, "As for compensation, there's no need. It's just that some magic arrays were damaged; I'll have them repaired."

"Thank you very much, Master." Zhou Yu said.

"You're too kind. Just call me Huo Yue." Huo Yue, the Goddess of the Realm, laughed. "If you choose to stay in the Divine Court, your status will certainly be no less than mine."

"Okay." Zhou Yu didn't refuse.

At this moment, the Fire Moon Realm God said again, "By the way, if you experiment with your moves again, hold back a bit of your power. It won't be easy to repair the formations of these top-tier cave dwellings."

"rest assured."

Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.

In fact, he had only been using a small portion of his power to experiment with the moves, but that last move was too powerful and far beyond his expectations.

. . .

soon.

Zhou Yu arrived at the cave dwelling that the Fire Moon Realm God had helped him to change. He did not choose to accelerate time again, but sat there silently pondering.

The last move he developed had a tremendous leap in power, far exceeding his expectations.

"Why is this move so powerful? How can it be comparable to a strike from a powerful expert with just a trace of power?" Zhou Yu explored the essence of it.

Although he created the move, Zhou Yu subconsciously incorporated insights from many other worlds when creating it, which resulted in such an unexpected move.

Otherwise, if he were to create a move normally, he would not only know every bit of its power, but the actual power should not be so different from what he predicted.

Of course, it's also a good thing if the moves are more powerful.

At this moment, what Zhou Yu needs to do is to thoroughly analyze the essence of this move based on the rules of this world.

This wasn't difficult for Zhou Yu; after all, it was a move he created himself.

. . .

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye, but there is still no news from the Blood Blade Divine Court.

However, Zhou Yu's research brought about a qualitative change.

"The Way of Spacetime Operation Above the Rules of Heaven and Earth?"

Zhou Yu had silently left the Blood God Star, which was shrouded in countless magic arrays, and arrived in the God Realm starry sky.

At this moment, even the Fire Moon Realm God, who controlled many of the Blood God Star's magic arrays, did not notice anything amiss.

Zhou Yu looked up at the endless starry sky. At this moment, under his talent "Eye of Truth", the rules he could see had changed again.

The complete rules of heaven and earth are only the most basic. In the vast starry sky, there are too many things that the rules of heaven and earth cannot explain.

These are higher-level rules governing the universe, or you could say they represent a kind of Dao. Zhou Yu could see the Dao of Blazing Fire on the infinitely powerful and terrifying sun in the God Realm, and he could also see the Dao of Stars in the movement of individual stars.

In the endless starry sky, the principles of time and space also exist.

"I can now be considered to have entered the realm of time and space."

As Zhou Yu thought to himself, his own divine heart was also undergoing a transformation, instantly becoming many times stronger.

"He hasn't even transcended yet, but he's already paved the way." Zhou Yu sighed.

He can be considered a god of the fourth heaven, or he can not.

Because he has not yet transcended, he is still in the long river of time and space of this universe. If the universe is destroyed, he will also be destroyed along with the universe.

But he pioneered a new path.

Above the realm of World Gods is the realm of True Gods. People like the Holy Lord of Tongwu and the Lord of the Blood Sea are merely True Gods of the Heaven and Earth Realm, which is just the most ordinary.

Above that are the Creation Realm True Gods and the Dominator Realm True Gods.

Only by pioneering a path can one be considered a true god of the pioneering realm.

Zhou Yu had also opened up his own path at this time, so it could be said that he was no longer a god of the Fourth Heaven.

"Although debuting early will make it more difficult to transcend, it will also greatly increase one's strength, which is a good thing," Zhou Yu thought.

In this world, one's level of understanding is the most important thing.

As for the gap in basic strength, it can be completely made up for through certain secret techniques.

The two World God-level secret techniques he cultivates, once cultivated to their highest level, will bring him to the average level of ordinary powerful beings in terms of physical body and strength.

If one can cultivate some physical and strength-related techniques, then one will be even more powerful. Even a fourth-level Heavenly God would be countless times stronger than an ordinary great being.

"With such strength, I can say that I have finally established myself in this universe." Zhou Yu glanced at Blood God Star, but instead of returning, he took a step and headed into the distance.

. . .

At this moment, Zhou Yu's speed in traversing time and space was on a completely different level than before, much faster than those time-space teleportation arrays in the God Realm.

Half a day later, Zhou Yu left the territory of the Blood Blade Divine Court and arrived near a majestic mountain in the starry sky.

"Is this Tongwu Mountain?"

Zhou Yu looked down. Although Tongwu Mountain was shrouded in layers of magic arrays, Zhou Yu's gaze could still easily penetrate many places.

Zhou Yu saw many gods and even extraordinary beings undergoing trials, as well as the disciples of the Tongwu Holy Lord who were cultivating.

“The clone left behind by the Holy Lord of Tongwu is there.” Zhou Yu looked into the belly of the mountain, where there was a secluded world that had been carved out.

At this moment, within this world, the Holy Lord of Tongwu, dressed in purple robes, was silently comprehending.

He is also ambitious; he has always wanted to make his debut.

Whether or not one has established a path makes a huge difference. There are probably thousands of ordinary powerful beings like him in the universe. Although joining a certain force might earn him some attention, that's about it. The rulers wouldn't care too much about him.

Those who pioneer a path are the ones that will be sought after by all sides.

"Based on experience, to open up a path, one either needs a true divine artifact containing some kind of 'path' for reference, or a suitable ultimate technique; otherwise, the chances are extremely slim," the Holy Lord of Tongwu sighed inwardly.

Among true divine artifacts, those of the Cave Heaven type are the most ordinary, containing only the complete rules of heaven and earth, but lacking higher-level Dao, and therefore have little appeal to powerful beings.

If it is a true divine artifact containing some kind of Dao, it can not only enhance one's strength, but also help one to open up a path, making it infinitely more precious.

This is also what the Holy Lord of Tongwu desires.

Unfortunately, such true artifacts are extremely rare and precious. Although he ventured into some dangerous places, he never obtained one.

"It's a secret technique, there's some hope. It's a pity that the other two secret techniques were originally in the hands of the Blood Sea and the Material Realm, respectively." The Holy Lord of Tongwu sighed.

His relationship with the Blood Sea Monarch had soured long ago, and the secret technique in the material world was originally almost impossible to retrieve; it depended on whether Zhou Yu was willing to bring the secret technique out.

"It's unlikely that Zhou Yu will bring out the original secret technique in the short term. I wonder how the Blood Sea's suppression of him will end," thought the Holy Master of Tongwu.

However, at this moment——

"Ok?"

The Holy Lord of Tongwu suddenly frowned; he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

next moment--

Boom!

A hand radiating boundless light had somehow appeared before the Holy Lord of Tongwu.

"what?"

The Holy Lord of Tongwu could not believe it.

He reacted instantly and tried to defend himself, but the palm strike was too fast.

Boom!

An incredibly terrifying power instantly blasted into the body of the Holy Lord of Tongwu. His body had been meticulously modified by him, and every particle contained endless vitality, making his vitality exceptionally tenacious among those of the same level.

But at this moment, under the destructive power of this terrifying force, the Holy Lord of Tongwu felt countless particles being completely annihilated.

"puff!"

A large hole appeared in his chest, and he coughed up blood and flew backward.

"Seventy percent of my life force has been annihilated." The Holy Lord of Tongwu could not believe it. At this moment, he could also see clearly the figure that attacked him.

"How is this possible?" The Holy Lord of Tongwu was shocked.

"Lord Tongwu, it's been a long time." Zhou Yu smiled slightly and did not continue to attack.

"Is it really you?" The Holy Lord of Tongwu was filled with disbelief.

Although he initially thought Zhou Yu was no ordinary third-level heaven god, he never imagined that the other party would have such exaggerated strength.

One palm strike severely injured him.

Of course, this was a sneak attack; otherwise, he should have been able to withstand at least one blow.

But the ability to launch a surprise attack is what's truly terrifying.

This was his stronghold, shrouded in countless magic arrays, yet he was ambushed?
"You should keep that original copy of 'Micro-Element True Power' on your clone in the lair. Give it to me." Zhou Yu didn't say much, but directly asked for the original copy of "Micro-Element True Power".

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of Tongwu had a complicated expression.

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and took out a black statue.

He knew that Zhou Yu had held back; otherwise, if he had been seriously injured in one move, his clone would have been destroyed in another.
At this point, even if they tried to escape, they probably wouldn't be able to.

The fact that Zhou Yu was able to sneak in silently proves that the magic array inside the lair has little effect on him.

"It really is almost exactly the same as the original of my secret technique." Zhou Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the statue. He didn't stand on ceremony and put the statue away.

"I sense that you haven't transcended yet, but your strength is far too great." The Holy Lord of Tongwu looked at Zhou Yu and asked:
"Could it be that you, like the Lord of Zhushan Prefecture, opened up your path at the fourth level?"

Previously, only the Lord of Zhushan Prefecture was able to establish a path at the level of a fourth-level Heavenly God.

Although this situation is rare, it seems to be the only possibility at this moment.

Otherwise, even if Zhou Yu had cultivated some kind of ultimate skill, he couldn't possibly be this strong. The key is that his methods are strange enough to infiltrate his lair.

“Yes.” Zhou Yu nodded and said, “You should heal your injuries first, and I’ll come back to find you later.”

As he spoke, Zhou Yu vanished from the spot.

Seeing this, the Holy Lord of Tongwu sighed inwardly.

"He's been hiding it too well, far too well! If I had known Zhou Yu was this strong, why would I have provoked him?" Tongwu Saint Master shook his head.

At the same time, he was also glad that he hadn't offended Zhou Yu to death back then, otherwise Zhou Yu would have directly killed his clone right now, and he would have had another terrifying enemy in the future.

"However, he took all my secret techniques with him, so what is he doing here?" The Holy Master of Tongwu suddenly wondered.

Although he was severely injured, as long as he was not completely killed, the Holy Lord of Tongwu recovered very quickly. After consuming some divine crystals, his depleted life force was quickly replenished.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who had just returned to the Flamefire World to give away the original "Micro-Element True Power", also returned here.

The Holy Lord of Tongwu prepared tea, which Zhou Yu tasted. It was indeed much better than the tea he had in the Flame World, containing some kind of energy that was beneficial to the soul.

"Zhou Yu, I did threaten you, but you also took my original secret technique. What else do you want?" the Holy Master of Tongwu asked at this moment.

"I already have two original copies of the secret technique, and with the one in the Blood Sea Monarch's possession, that makes three," Zhou Yu said, looking at the Holy Lord of Tongwu.

"If these three secret techniques could truly form a unique skill, would you like to learn it?"

"You're willing to let me learn once?" The Holy Master of Tongwu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had no doubt that Zhou Yu could gather the three originals. The Blood Sea Monarch was at most slightly stronger than him, so what could he possibly use to stop Zhou Yu at this moment?
"Of course I can let you learn, but you have to do me a favor first," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"You said."

The Holy Lord of Tongwu spoke without hesitation.

"I intend to kill the Blood Sea Monarch," Zhou Yu said.
"However, my avatar in the material world will not leave. I only have one avatar outside. At most, I can kill one of the Blood Sea Monarch's avatars in a short time. His other avatar needs someone to deal with it. I don't need to kill him, but at least make sure he can't escape and hide until I arrive."

"Completely annihilate the Blood Sea?"

The Holy Lord of Tongwu was suddenly jolted.

Although he had a very bad relationship with the Blood Sea Monarch, he never thought of completely killing him.

However, Tongwu Saint Lord soon realized that Blood Sea Monarch was different from him; the other party had truly offended Zhou Yu to the death.

If Zhou Yu were more magnanimous, he might have only killed one of his clones as a warning.

However, it was clear that Zhou Yu was not so magnanimous and intended to completely annihilate him.

Moreover, it's not too surprising for powerful beings to fall. For example, the Red Dust Saint Lord, the master of Red Stone Mountain in the Xia Clan world, was killed by his enemies' schemes.

"What do you think?" Zhou Yu asked.

"If we're going to do it, let's go all the way." The Holy Lord of Tongwu looked at Zhou Yu and said, "The Blood Sea has a mortal enemy, a relationship that's absolutely irreconcilable. Shouldn't we invite him to join us?"

"Oh?"

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

However, he wasn't surprised; given the Blood Sea Monarch's style of doing things, it was perfectly normal for him to have mortal enemies.

“You are more familiar with the Blood Sea Monarch than I am, so I will listen to you,” Zhou Yu said with a smile. “After this is done, you can come to my Flame World to study at any time.”

"It's a word."

The Holy Lord of Tongwu agreed.
