Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 156 Demon Army Assessment
In the Purple Moon Holy Land, the Purple Moon Ancestor stood anxiously in the void. Even with the support of her Eternal God-level will, the origin of her microcosm was still continuously flowing away.

"Within tens of thousands of years, my cosmic origin will be completely consumed." The Purple Moon Ancestor was naturally extremely anxious.

Compared to other small universes that are swallowed up in just a few days, her universe can last for tens of thousands of years, which seems like a long time. But what is this amount of time compared to the long existence of the cosmic sea? It is just a blink of an eye.

Although the destruction of her microcosm wouldn't threaten her life, it would completely ruin her future. Besides, she still harbored ambitions and had always hoped to achieve sainthood and possess the original universe.

"Not even a Beast King yet, and already this terrifying?" Ancestor Purple Moon was shocked and angry, and also felt a trace of fear.

In the past, holy sites were destroyed one after another in the calamity of the world beasts. Judging from the current situation, the hope of surviving this calamity is very, very low.

"No matter what, there's always a glimmer of hope." The Purple Moon Ancestor quickly summoned the divine avatar of the strongest being in the universe who had previously left the Purple Moon Holy Land for the Cosmic Ship.

"You don't have much time left, at most ten thousand years. You must find a way to deal with the World Beasts, otherwise..." The Purple Moon Ancestor didn't say much, but the strongest being in the universe below understood.

The mighty Purple Moon Holy Land could only last for tens of thousands of years. With the destruction of the Purple Moon Holy Land, the powerful beings who resided within it would naturally perish as well.

"Ancestor, according to our investigation, the microcosms of the True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan were also devoured, but they were not destroyed in the end. Is the situation not so bad?" The strongest being in the universe below asked cautiously.

"Foolish! You entrust your life to the hands of a mere realm beast?" Ancestor Purple Moon said coldly, "Even if he can endure it for a while, can he endure it forever?"

"Yes, your subordinate will do his utmost." The strongest being in the universe nodded immediately.

. . .

Deep within the spaceship, in a bottomless abyss.

Many powerful beings from the cosmic sea stood on the edge of the abyss. They either received news from powerful beings who were originally adventuring inside the cosmic ship, or from the original cosmic will, and rushed over from the outside world as soon as possible.

In short, everyone is gathered here now.

"The primordial cosmic will says that our only chance of survival against the Beasts lies here, but we've found nothing. Do we really have to go deep inside to explore?"

Everyone was somewhat hesitant.

This Abyss of Severance is normally safe to pass through, but once you go deeper, you may encounter extremely terrifying invisible attacks that even the most precious treasures of a peak palace cannot withstand.

The most terrifying thing is the danger of "getting lost." Once you get lost in it, it's all over.

However, at this moment——

"Huh? What is that?"

A powerful figure suddenly looked into the depths of the bottomless abyss.

Something is flying up.

"Very large."

"."

All the powerful figures were watching intently. After about half a day, the enormous creature finally appeared in the darkness. It was a majestic beast with four hooves, wings on its back, and six sharp horns on its head. It was incredibly large, probably hundreds of light-years in height.

"Ah? This is it?"

Everyone was surprised, but soon they breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it seems to be just a statue of a mythical beast, not a living creature.

Rumble!
After the enormous beast had completely flown up, it crashed down onto the side of the abyss and then remained motionless.

"The only chance of life mentioned by the primordial cosmic will must be this strange beast statue." All the powerful figures first observed from a distance, but found nothing. Soon, some teleported forward, intending to explore it up close.

But as soon as they approached the strange beast statue, it was like a pebble sinking into the sea, disappearing in an instant.

"What?" The powerful onlookers were all startled. Fortunately, someone quickly received news from their companion that they were all safe.

At this moment, in a hidden world.

It was a vast plaza, supported by 10081 towering stone pillars, with an invisible mist shrouding most of it.

Inside the plaza, all the powerful figures who had previously disappeared reappeared.

At the same time, a somewhat hazy, towering figure appeared in the sky above the square.

"Those who wish to participate in the Demon Army's assessment will be divided into two teams: True Gods and Law Lords. They will enter the formation separately!"

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble will die!"

"."

A cold, emotionless voice resounded in the hearts of every powerful individual.

"The Demon Army's assessment?"

At this moment, all the powerful beings in the universe sea felt puzzled, but the warning from that cold voice just now also made them dare not move rashly.

at this time--

Wow!
The fog ahead suddenly dissipated, revealing two areas shrouded by an invisible force. Within these areas, one could clearly see figures wielding weapons and clad in armor standing.

“The True God should be the strongest being in the universe, and the Lord of Laws refers to the Lord of the universe. Entering those two regions, they should undergo some tests. If they succeed, they can join the ‘Moro Army’.” The powerful beings of the cosmic sea were not stupid; they understood it with a simple analysis.

"The spaceship is clearly a masterpiece of an ancient civilization. The Demon Army that has appeared inside the spaceship must be the army of that ancient civilization."

"Joining this Demon Army might allow us to glimpse the secrets of an ancient civilization and gain the power to fight against the World Beasts."

The powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea, thinking it over, also consciously and quickly divided into two teams.

One team consists of the strongest beings in the universe, and another team consists of the rulers of the universe.
No one dared to cause trouble at this time. This place was mysterious and unpredictable, and acting recklessly could really cost them their lives.

at the same time--

At the boundary between the inner and outer domains of the spaceship.

call!
A palace treasure arrived here in a flash.

The palace is controlled by the creator of the giant axe. Inside the palace, Zhou Yu's seven star clones, the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Peng Gong are also present.

"Ahead lies the space of the black-patterned stone pillars. This space contains a fierce impact of will, and the closer one gets, the faster time flows. Many powerful individuals are improving themselves here," the Giant Axe Founder remarked.

"This spaceship has many wondrous features, but unfortunately, our human race has explored far too little of it."

"There's nothing we can do; we've never obtained a very detailed map of the spaceship," the Chaos City Lord shook his head.

In the three cycles of time, each major power would focus its exploration on one of the three forbidden zones. Previously, the human race mainly focused its efforts on the Peak Realm and indeed knew very little about the Cosmic Ship.

"Founder of the Giant Axe, release one of my clones." Zhou Yu suddenly spoke, and with a wave of his hand, a clone appeared there.

Without hesitation, the creator of the giant axe moved Zhou Yu's clone outside the palace's treasure.

He naturally understood that Zhou Yu was probably trying to use the will of the black-patterned stone pillar to temper and hone his own will.

"Seven Stars, you have many clones, which is indeed convenient for many things. The other powerful figures are all focused on the Abyss of Severance, yet you still have the leisure to hone your will," the Giant Axe Founder remarked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu simply smiled and said nothing more.

Actually, he released his clone to take advantage of the time acceleration ability of the black-patterned stone pillar. As for tempering his will? That was just a side effect.

"Giant Axe, a powerful figure from the Hong Alliance has sent word that an opportunity has appeared in the Abyss of Severance."

The Lord of Chaos City suddenly spoke.

As the Lord of Chaos City explained, everyone quickly learned the whole story.

The strange beast statues and the Moro army, which are hundreds of light-years away, excited everyone. This was something that had never happened before in the spaceship or even the three forbidden zones.

"Go, hurry up!" The Giant Axe Founder hurriedly urged the palace's treasures to rush towards the Abyss of Severance.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yu and the others also approached the towering statue. Whoosh! An invisible force appeared, causing them to disappear instantly and quickly reappear in the magnificent square.

"This is it."

The group looked around and felt a vast and terrifying aura enveloping their hearts.

"Everyone."

Suddenly, a voice came, followed by a divine power avatar flying over. This divine power avatar was not human-shaped, but a dark blue bird.

"Greetings, Founder of the Giant Axe." The bird bowed slightly.

"Lord of the Swallow Eagle, it's all thanks to you for bringing us this information," the founder of the Giant Axe said with a smile.

"I was cultivating in seclusion at the Black Patterned Stone Pillar, which is why I was able to arrive so quickly," said the Lord of Swallow Eagles.

"What's the situation now?" the founder of the giant axe asked.

"There are too many Universe Lords; most are still waiting in line for the assessment. However, the strongest beings in the universe who came here have already completed their assessments quickly. Giant Axe Founder, you can go and participate in the assessment immediately," said Lord Yan Ying.
"From my observation, when the strongest people in the universe participate in the test, on average one out of two will pass, and those who fail will have the opportunity to participate in the test again."

"Oh?"

The founder of the giant axe nodded and asked, "What happens after you pass the test?"

"I don't know about that," said Lord Yan Ying, shaking his head. "The strong individuals who passed the assessment were all taken to the depths."

“I see.” The founder of the giant axe nodded.

"What about the Lord of Yan Ying and the Lord of the Universe? How high is their success rate in the assessment?" Lord Peng Gong asked at this moment.

"Lord of the Universe." A hint of helplessness appeared on the face of Lord Yan Ying as he spoke:
"The success rate of the test for the Lord of the Universe is much lower. From my observation, only a fifth-order Lord of the Universe has a chance, and on average, only one in ten fifth-order Lords of the Universe succeeds."

"Only one in ten fifth-tier universe masters succeeds?" Everyone was shocked.

How rare are fifth-order universe masters? Only one in ten succeeds.
"Among us, the only one who has a chance of success is probably the Lord of Chaos City," said the Lord of Yan Ying.

Upon hearing this, no one said much. They all knew that the most likely candidate to become the Lord of the Universe was the "Lord of the Seven Stars".

With the power of a seventh-tier master, the test should be a piece of cake.

"Don't overthink it. Let's go, let's go take the assessment." The founder of the giant axe waved his hand, and everyone nodded.

They quickly separated; the Giant Axe Founder went to the passage for the strongest beings in the universe, while Zhou Yu, the Chaos City Lord, and others went to another passage to wait in line.

"There are still hundreds of people ahead of us, let's just wait."

Zhou Yu looked at the line ahead, but he wasn't in a hurry. He sat cross-legged and pondered in his heart.

He had previously sent an avatar into the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, and now it had reached a point in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space that was quite close to the stone pillar, where time had been accelerated by an astonishing 500,000 times.

It's not that Zhou Yu can only withstand the impact of the will here, but that while he is withstanding the impact of the will, he also needs to comprehend it.

If it doesn't affect the efficiency of comprehension, this is a suitable place.

"The path I need to take now is to research higher-level secret techniques and to study the genes of life," Zhou Yu pondered.

The former was not as difficult for him.

Whether it's using laws to evolve spacetime or forming the mysteries of arrays, he didn't inherit any of them, but he could draw on the mysteries of other worlds.

What Zhou Yu found challenging was the life gene.

Life genes involve life and matter, which he is not particularly good at, so he has to accumulate knowledge little by little.

"We have to take things one step at a time." Zhou Yu wasn't in a hurry, since there was nothing that could threaten him for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The Lord of Chaos City and others received a message from the founder of the Giant Axe.

"Haha, I made it!"

"Giant Axe, what did you get after you broke through?" Chaos City Lord and the others asked.

"These soldiers of the Demon Army are divided into ordinary and elite," the Giant Axe Founder exclaimed. "I became an elite soldier and obtained a complete set of True God weapons."

"A weapon of true godhood?"

"It is the most powerful and precious treasure," the founder of the giant axe said with great emotion.

"What?" The Chaos City Lord and the others were all dumbfounded.

A complete set of supreme treasures? This...
"I am ten or a hundred times stronger than before," the Giant Axe Founder sighed. "Even if I encounter a World Beast, I believe I should be able to put up a fight."

“Giant Axe, we must not be careless. How terrifying is that Beast of the Realm? Previously, the Purple Moon Holy Land sent out a message that they had dispatched one of the strongest beings in the universe, who was also easily defeated by the Beast of the Realm.” The Chaos City Lord hurriedly said.

“Haha, I know that, of course I will not take any risks easily,” said the founder of the giant axe.
"After becoming a soldier in the Moro Army, there are other tests as well. If I pass them, I will also receive a reward. I will try again. Maybe I can improve my strength."

"it is good."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded.

Zhou Yu soon learned about the giant axe.

He knew it.

This Demon Army assessment is indeed capable of rapidly improving the strength of powerful beings in the cosmic sea.

"The primordial cosmic will didn't have time to pull the Jin world over, so it brought out the Demon Army hidden in the spaceship. Their purpose is similar," Zhou Yu understood.

"A complete set of supreme treasures would also be useful to me," Zhou Yu thought.

Meanwhile, deep within the plaza, shrouded in mist, stood a somewhat dilapidated palace. Inside, a figure in white armor watched over each of the powerful beings from the cosmic sea who were participating in the assessment.

"These creatures of the cosmic sea, without any inheritance and cultivating on their own, are indeed not particularly outstanding." The figure shook his head.

But there was really no other way, so we had to choose the best of the worst and see if a miracle could happen.

P.S.: There will be another update later.
