Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 175 The New Clone Mother River Power
The world of "Yuzhi".

Near the edge of the universe, in a void, stood three figures with somewhat chaotic auras.

"Haofeng, what's wrong with you? Your 'Dark Domain Spacetime' power should be able to limit Zhou Yu's 'Spacetime Travel,' so how did he still manage to escape?" Both of them looked at a figure wearing a black robe with countless dark patterns on his face.

"My Dark Domain Spacetime Power was acquired by incorporating a piece of finger bone from a higher-dimensional being. It's not perfect. Zhou Yu was just lucky; he happened to find a gap and slipped out," the figure explained.

"lucky?"

"Of course it's good luck. Logically speaking, the chance of escaping from my Dark Domain Spacetime is less than one in a hundred million, but he just happened to run into it." The figure said, and the other two exchanged a glance without saying anything more.

Perhaps it was good luck, or perhaps it was for other reasons. But what's the use of saying anything more now that things have come to this?

"What a pity. If we could kill him, the treasures on his body that can perform 'time travel' and 'time fragmentation' would be ours."

All three of them were quite regretful. At this moment, they realized that they should not stay here any longer, so they had to retreat immediately.

But at this moment—

Wow!
Deep within the spacetime layer, a figure suddenly appeared, traversing spacetime.

"Huh? You dare to come back?" The three of them became wary when they saw Zhou Yu return. Did he bring back reinforcements?

Of course, the three of them were also quite capable when it came to action.

With a thought, the gray-robed figure immediately activated the high-dimensional power contained within the finger bones that were integrated into his body.

Boom!

The surrounding spacetime, spanning a light-year, collapsed instantly, as if plunging into a dark realm.

The other two figures also erupted, each unleashing higher-dimensional power. Their invisible mental power invaded Zhou Yu's mind, while endless light burst forth, containing terrifying, scorching, and destructive power.

"I'm back to thank you for helping me break through, and to send you on your way." Zhou Yu was very calm at this moment, and he moved slightly.

It flickered and moved continuously in that collapsed spacetime that was plunged into darkness.

"What?" The three of them were startled.

"He has truly mastered the power of time travel; he is a cosmic legend!" the gray-robed figure exclaimed in shock and anger.

Truly mastering higher-dimensional power is indeed different from borrowing it. When he borrows the power integrated into his finger bones, he leaves many flaws. These flaws are nothing to deal with other beings who also borrow higher-dimensional power, but they are easy to detect for those who truly master the power.

"Don't panic. A newly broken through cosmic legend might not be that strong. Let's retreat." The three calmed down and prepared to retreat.

But at this moment—

puff.

A hand wearing gloves of an unknown material, glowing with a ghostly blue light, suddenly pierced through one of them.

At this moment, the spacetime occupied by that figure began to collapse, along with the physical body that had reached the limits of the universe.

"Such powerful spacetime rupture." The man's eyes revealed resentment, but his entire body also collapsed rapidly, leaving only a drop of black blood floating there.

In the blink of an eye, the other two met the same fate, being swiftly killed.

"Wow, Master, you've become so much stronger! You easily defeated Monarch Yuanguang and the others. They're among the top-ranked monarchs in the Prison Clan." A somewhat surprised voice echoed in Zhou Yu's mind.

The speaker was the AI ​​of Zhou Yu's "Time-Space Suit," but Zhou Yu just smiled and didn't say anything more.

In the simulation, after comprehending the power of higher dimensions, he successfully completed the simulation.

He naturally acquired this clone.

Zhou Yu is different from the simulated version of himself. Even after comprehending the power of higher dimensions, the simulated version of himself didn't expect to be able to kill three people.

Newly emerging cosmic legends, lacking specialized treasures and weapons, may experience an increase in strength, but they may not be significantly stronger than some top-tier source life forms that can draw upon higher-dimensional power.

So in the simulation, he simply left.

However, after Zhou Yu obtained this clone, his understanding of the higher-dimensional power of "time travel" deepened rapidly. More importantly, his mental strength underwent a qualitative change, instantly rising several levels.

The power of the mind is key to accessing and observing higher-dimensional forces; the stronger one's mental power, the more effectively one can utilize higher-dimensional forces.

The "Space-Time Disintegration," another high-dimensional power inherent in the Space-Time Set, was even more powerful when Zhou Yu used it now.

At this moment, Zhou Yu carefully collected the drop of blood, a piece of finger bone, and a black bead that were floating there.

The one who was besieged was the ruler of the Prison Clan. Unlike human powerhouses who rely more on technology, the Prison Clan powerhouses were all crazy, integrating high-dimensional objects into their bodies to use high-dimensional power.

Therefore, for every powerful member of the Prison Clan killed, one can obtain a high-dimensional item.

Of course, killing a powerful member of the Prison Clan is not easy. Zhou Yu's current situation is not something that an ordinary person can replicate.

"I'm going back." Zhou Yu turned around and took a step, instantly traveling through time and space.

Wow!
In a single trip, Zhou Yu arrived billions of light-years away, a distance he had already covered far exceeding the distance he had traveled with the help of the "Time-Space Suit".

In just a few breaths, Zhou Yu arrived at the headquarters of the Time-Space Island.

"Zhou Yu, congratulations on becoming a cosmic legend. After spending six thousand years, you have a chance to become a higher-dimensional life form." A gray-robed figure appeared before Zhou Yu. He was an observer of the isolated island of time and space, capable of observing the movements of the entire universe. Clearly, he had already received the news that Zhou Yu had mastered the power of higher dimensions.

"Unfortunately, I only comprehended ordinary high-dimensional power," Zhou Yu said.

"Haha, don't rush. Once you truly become a higher-dimensional being, step into higher-dimensional space, and see more scenery and landscapes, you'll surely comprehend even more powerful forces." The gray-robed figure laughed. "The island lord also knows about your breakthrough. Come on, I'll take you to see her."

Zhou Yu readily agreed.

The two soon arrived at a time-space island, an independent time-space. Zhou Yu had been here before, and in his eyes, this was an independent time-space. But now, he could see that the source of this time-space was a rolling river.

Wow!
A ray of light burst forth, and the figure of a woman coalesced in the flowing river. Her life essence was too high; even as a fragment of consciousness, she occupied many layers of spacetime in this universe.

"Island owner."

Zhou Yu and the gray-robed figure both bowed.

"This era is remarkable. The Primordial Research Institute has Chi Meng and Xu Jingming, and our Time-Space Island also has you." The Time-Space Island Master had a smile on his face.

Although Zhou Yu's comprehension of higher-dimensional power was slower than Xu Jingming's, those who could become cosmic legends within ten thousand years were all geniuses, and as long as they did not perish, they were almost certain to become higher-dimensional beings.

It is possible that three higher-dimensional beings could be born simultaneously in one era, something that has never been seen in the long past.

"You flatter me, Island Master," Zhou Yu said.

"To become a higher-dimensional life form, the final hurdle is constructing the higher-dimensional life form. This is the most difficult step. You must be patient and not impatient," said the Time-Space Island Master, as she waved her hand and took out a scroll.

The scroll, when unfolded, is nineteen meters long in total.

"This is the physical structure of all the higher-dimensional life forms that have ever been born in our human race, as well as some other physical structures of higher-dimensional life forms that we have collected. Write them all down," said the Time-Space Island Master, and Zhou Yu also focused his attention on them.

The scroll contains 302 different ways of constructing higher-dimensional life forms, but the similarity of all the higher-dimensional life forms is over 99.9%.

"A difference of 0.1% is what makes all higher-dimensional life forms different." Zhou Yu understood that this 0.1% might seem small, but it actually caused countless people to fail. The three major hurdles to becoming a higher-dimensional life form are the mind, the thought (realm), and the physical body, each more difficult than the last.

"And these two inheritances as well." The Time-Space Island Master waved his hand again, and two beams of light appeared there.

"The 'Time-Space Escape Manual' is a legacy I wrote after becoming a high-dimensional being in the Eternal Realm. There's also 'The River World,' written by an existence stronger than me; it's one of the best legacies I found in high-dimensional space with Dean Chu and the others," said the Time-Space Island Master.
"Write it down now, but there's no need to rush to comprehend it. It's not too late to comprehend it when you become a higher-dimensional being."

In general, she wouldn't give them more powerful inheritances in the universe, but Zhou Yu is likely to be a higher-dimensional life form, so the Time-Space Island Master simply gave this inheritance to Zhou Yu as well.

"Thank you, Island Master." Zhou Yu also bowed and expressed his gratitude.

He understood that the being stronger than the Time-Space Island Master should be someone at the half-step third realm.

Inheritance is very important. Is it possible to master a certain power simply by comprehending an item that contains higher-dimensional power? The difficulty is hundreds or thousands of times greater. Only with inheritance can there be any hope of mastering it.

For ordinary high-dimensional beings, obtaining an Eternal Realm inheritance is already quite remarkable; they might even risk their lives for it.

The inheritance of the third realm at half-step is something you can forget about.

That is, only three high-dimensional beings at the peak of the Eternal Realm in the human race could pass down such a legacy, allowing a being like him, who has not yet reached a high dimension, to learn this legacy.

Soon, Zhou Yu memorized the inheritance, and the Time-Space Island Master gave Zhou Yu a high-dimensional weapon before leaving.

Zhou Yu and the spacetime observer quickly left that independent spacetime. At this time, the spacetime observer asked Zhou Yu what his plans were.

"I won't go back to the battlefield; I want to do some research for a while," Zhou Yu said after thinking for a moment.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it for you.” The spacetime observer readily agreed.

The greatest task for becoming a cosmic legend is to become a higher-dimensional life form, since higher-dimensional life forms are the foundation of civilization. Normally, unless it is extremely urgent, cosmic legends will not be bothered with any task.

Zhou Yu didn't leave the headquarters of the Time-Space Isolated Island; he stayed there instead.

The news that Zhou Yu had become a cosmic legend was not kept secret and spread rapidly.

Upon hearing the news, many people wanted to visit Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu naturally refused them all. He only wanted to study the power of this world and did not want to be disturbed.

The news spread far beyond the isolated island in time and space; soon the entire human civilization knew about it.

Xu Jingming, who was at the Primordial Research Institute focused on creating higher-dimensional life forms, also learned of this news. He was extremely happy at this moment. Zhou Yu still held a very special place in his heart. They both came from Blue Star, and Zhou Yu had given him guidance, making his path much smoother.

"Senior Zhou Yu, haha, it seems we can explore higher dimensions together from now on." Xu Jingming sent a message after learning that Zhou Yu was not receiving visitors.

"Let's see who becomes a higher-dimensional life form first," Zhou Yu replied.

He was now certain that this Xu Jingming was indeed the Xu Jingming from his weaker days, because at this time there were only three incredible celestial bodies in the higher dimensions—the Primordial Star, the Abyss, and the Mother River.

The absence of a mental realm means that Xu Jingming has indeed not yet become the master of the mental realm.

If the Lord of the Mind Realm has already been born, then even in the past timeline, the "Mind Realm" will still exist.

At this time, Xu Jingming was following the "Yuan Chu Xing lineage". Although he was making rapid progress, it had not yet reached an incredible level.

"Senior Zhou Yu, you're probably going to lose."

Xu Jingming, who was at the Yuanchu Research Institute, was also moved when he received Zhou Yu's message. Although only a short thousand years had passed since he comprehended the power of higher dimensions, he had already begun to have a clue about how higher-dimensional life forms were constructed.

It is estimated that it should be successful in a thousand years at most.

This is an outrageous speed.

The time required to create a higher-dimensional life form is generally four to five times longer than the time required to comprehend higher-dimensional power.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu, on the isolated island of time and space, was immersed in his research.

“The cultivation system of this world is very special, but all paths lead to the same goal. Different higher-dimensional powers are also higher levels of ‘Dao’,” Zhou Yu pondered and studied.

Zhou Yu at this moment is naturally different from the simulated version of himself. He studies higher-dimensional forces much faster, and with his thought speed increased by a hundredfold, he can do it even faster.

The Time-Space Island Master instructed Zhou Yu not to rush into studying the "River World" inheritance, fearing that Zhou Yu would become obsessed with it and delay the development of the higher-dimensional life form's structure, since the source life still has a lifespan limit.

However, Zhou Yu was confident in his ability to construct higher-dimensional life forms, so he didn't worry too much and directly began to examine the two inheritances.

Having a lineage makes a real difference; with a lineage, Zhou Yu's understanding of higher-dimensional power began to improve rapidly.

"The Island Lord's 'Time-Space Escape Chapter' is about escaping within the true Mother River." Zhou Yu understood that the Mother River is the source of all spacetime in the universe, and it also exists in all territories and even parallel universes in higher dimensions.

Putting aside parallel universes, the territories are still vast. A real universe placed within a territory is incredibly small. Even if higher-dimensional beings travel normally, they would find it difficult to cross the territory in a lifetime. However, by using the Mother River to travel, they can cross the territory quickly.

Among the three eternal realms of the human race, only the Time-Space Island Master can transcend territories.

"As for the 'World River Basin,' it is even more vast and expansive, containing many directions, and should even contain the power of the Primordial Star," Zhou Yu speculated in his heart.

Of course, this is just speculation; he doesn't know much about Yuan Chu Xing.

With the help of two great inheritances and the "Time-Space Set", Zhou Yu quickly mastered the second high-dimensional power, "Time-Space Collapse".

Soon after, he used the finger bone he obtained from killing the Lord of the Prison Clan to comprehend the power of "Dark Domain Spacetime".

The fourth, fifth, and sixth types
Zhou Yu continuously comprehended the same type of higher-dimensional power, and when he mastered the eighth type of higher-dimensional power, Zhou Yu finally understood.

"Many higher-dimensional forces actually belong to one thing, which can be called the power of the Mother River or the power of spacetime." Zhou Yu's figure was somewhat illusory at this moment.

His mastery of the power of time and space altered his very life form.

He has completely merged into the universe and spacetime; his presence can be found anywhere in the universe and at any time layer.

“No, there are also many places I can’t go.” Zhou Yu quickly realized the problem.

He has difficulty reaching the territories occupied by some powerful, higher-dimensional beings, such as the spacetime occupied by the consciousness of the Time-Space Island Master.

"Hmm?" At this moment, the figure of the Time-Space Island Master also re-condensed. After observing for a while, she discovered Zhou Yu's spying.

However, the Time-Space Island Master only felt pleasantly surprised at this moment.

"Zhou Yu, you have actually mastered the power of the Mother River!" the Time-Space Island Master exclaimed in amazement.

At this time, only five hundred years had passed since Zhou Yu became a cosmic legend.

“Island Master, I’m quite lucky. The ‘World River Basin’ inheritance is very suitable for me,” Zhou Yu said.

"Dean Chu and the others will be very happy to hear this news," the Time-Space Island Master said with a smile.

Being able to control the power of the Mother River means that as long as Zhou Yu doesn't perish, his chances of reaching the Eternal Realm are very high.

It's important to know that of the high-dimensional beings that were born before the human race, only these three remain. This is because these three are at the Eternal Realm. There is a significant difference between ordinary high-dimensional beings and high-dimensional beings at the Eternal Realm.

PS: That's all for today. I'll stop here for now and write more later depending on the situation. Tomorrow I'll briefly explain what happens next and then move on to the world of "Cang Yuan Tu".
