Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 176 Breaking Through Higher Dimensions and Arriving at Myriad Star Island

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years have passed since Zhou Yu comprehended the power of spacetime.

The universe is boundless and timeless, and ordinary life forms cannot explore its end. But in Zhou Yu's eyes, who has mastered the power of higher-dimensional spacetime, the beginning and end of all spacetime in the universe is that vast river.

This is naturally the origin of all low-dimensional spacetime, the Mother River.

call!
At this moment, a wisp of Zhou Yu's consciousness traveled along the end of time and space and entered the Mother River.

In higher dimensions, there are endless parallel universes, and each parallel universe has countless territories. As one of the three incredible existences in higher dimensions, the Mother River naturally runs through each territory. At this moment, Zhou Yu entered the tributary that runs through the Feng Yi Ninety-Seventh Territory where he was located.

Standing in the Mother River, Zhou Yu's perspective became exceptionally broad. Scanning his surroundings, he could see twelve other massive real universes in addition to the one he came from.

These thirteen real universes are actually very far apart, but through the Mother River, Zhou Yu's wisp of consciousness was able to cross them in a short time.

This is the power of traveling along the Mother River. This is only because Zhou Yu's mental consciousness was very weak when he entered the Mother River. If his mental consciousness were strong enough, he would be able to observe even further and more.

Of course, it is already quite incredible that Zhou Yu was able to enter the Mother River with his legendary strength.

The Lord of Time and Space Island was able to achieve this only after reaching the Eternal Realm, a higher-dimensional life form, and then cultivating for a period of time.

The power of higher dimensions is diverse, and this is the difference between mastering different powers.

The spacetime power that Zhou Yu possesses can be called the "Mother River Power" because it is one of the most core powers of the Mother River, which is why he can easily enter the Mother River.

The Time-Space Island Master did not initially comprehend this power, which is why he was able to enter the Mother River only after becoming a higher-dimensional being for a long time.

“However, my current mastery of this power can only be considered a beginner’s level.” Zhou Yu naturally understood this.

This wasn't the first time Zhou Yu had entered the Mother River in the past few centuries, so he didn't look around much and quickly got to his own business.

With a thought, he immediately mobilized the power of the mother river to converge.

In the blink of an eye, the basic structural unit of a higher-dimensional life form has taken shape.

"It remains very stable."

Zhou Yu looked at the structural unit and nodded secretly.

To create a higher-dimensional life form perfectly suited to oneself, three conditions must be met: stability in lower-dimensional space, stability in higher-dimensional space, and the ability to bear one's own mental consciousness.

After hundreds of years of exploration, Zhou Yu has developed five basic units of life structure. The first four failed, and this is the fifth.

The fifth basic unit of life structure has been completely stable in low-dimensional space, and it is also stable in the Mother River when it is calm.

Zhou Yu then activated his power to create a special environment to observe the behavior of the basic structural units of this high-dimensional life form.

"Still stable." A hint of satisfaction flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes.

"The final test."

With a thought, Zhou Yu immediately began absorbing more spacetime power.

call!call!call!
A massive amount of spacetime power surged forth, backed by the Mother River, naturally possessing inexhaustible spacetime power.

After absorbing for a while, it formed countless basic units of higher-dimensional life structures, and these basic structural units continued to converge to form life structures.

This step is quite easy.

In the evolution of life, eighth-order star life forms must be fully energized, while ninth-order and tenth-order source life forms are composed entirely of the most basic source force.

Source energy is the smallest unit of energy in the real universe, and it can also constitute life. At this point, it is simply replacing source energy with the basic unit of life structure formed by "spacetime force".

soon--

A drop of blood, formed from a massive amount of spacetime power, appeared there.

"Consciousness carries."

With a thought, Zhou Yu's consciousness entered the drop of blood. Everything went smoothly, and Zhou Yu's consciousness merged into the drop of blood.

Boom!

In an instant, Zhou Yu felt a booming sound in his heart. What was originally just a small wisp of consciousness quickly soared under the nourishment of that drop of blood, growing to countless billions of times in the blink of an eye.

"Is this what it feels like to be a higher-dimensional being?" Zhou Yu exclaimed inwardly. This was only nurtured by a drop of blood. If it were a mind and consciousness nurtured by a complete higher-dimensional being's physical body, it would surpass that of a lower-dimensional being by at least hundreds of millions of times.

“Previously, my willpower was strong enough, much stronger than many higher-dimensional beings, but my consciousness was too weak. In the face of truly higher-dimensional beings, I was just a big ant.” Zhou Yu now fully understood.

The physical body determines the intensity of consciousness.

Even cosmic legends are insignificant in the face of higher-dimensional life.

Of course, since Zhou Yu was able to enter the Mother River before, even high-dimensional life forms couldn't do anything to him.

"No matter what, the gap between higher and lower dimensions is indeed too great, so I'll break through first." Zhou Yu said without hesitation.

At this moment, the physical body he was researching on the isolated island of time and space disappeared, and all his consciousness reached the end of time and space, entered the Mother River, and entered that drop of blood.

Boom!

An even more vast and immense amount of spacetime power was absorbed, instantly forming a complete high-dimensional life form.

call!
Zhou Yu opened his eyes and sensed something was different.

At this moment, Zhou Yu could see thousands of real universes in the tributaries of the mother river.

He could vaguely sense that beyond the Mother River, there was an incredible star radiating endless light and energy, as well as an endless abyss that devoured everything.

"This is higher-dimensional space," Zhou Yu thought with deep emotion.

"Go back first."

Zhou Yu didn't linger. With one step, he returned to the real universe from which he originated, following the Mother River.

Rumble!
As Zhou Yu entered the starry sky, his physical body continued to twist and grow larger.

Zhou Yu's physical body, which is not very large in high-dimensional space, is more than ten light-years high in the universe.

“This is low-dimensional expansion,” Zhou Yu thought, not surprised.

From his perspective, this is actually a change in spacetime, and similar situations exist in other worlds.

In a world like Swallowed Star, even a perfect divine body at the level of a true god in the cosmic sea can reach more than ten light-years, but in the Origin Continent, it may be hundreds of millions of kilometers high. This is the change brought about by the change in spacetime.

"Moreover, the universe is also rejecting me." Zhou Yu also felt a repulsive force. Although he could resist it, it was very uncomfortable. This is why higher-dimensional beings are generally unwilling to stay in the real universe.

The three higher-dimensional life forms of human civilization have their true forms in a place called "Wanxing Island" in a higher-dimensional space; what remains in the real universe are only fragments of their consciousness.

"I need to return to my clan and then head to higher dimensions as soon as possible."

At this moment, Zhou Yu manipulated the power of spacetime to rapidly shrink his size, and he took a step back to the territory of human civilization.

"Zhou Yu, congratulations on becoming a higher-dimensional life form. I never imagined that you would achieve this in just a few hundred years." At this moment, the spacetime observer on the isolated spacetime island sent a message.

He observes the spacetime of the entire universe every moment; in fact, he knew this the moment Zhou Yu entered.

"I was lucky, it only took a few tries to succeed," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

After leaving a wisp of his consciousness on the isolated island in time and space, Zhou Yu returned to Earth.

Soon, the news that Zhou Yu had become a higher-dimensional life form spread throughout human civilization, which naturally caused an uproar. The speed at which Zhou Yu went from being a cosmic legend to becoming a higher-dimensional life form was simply too fast.

“Back then, Senior Brother Zhou Yu was the fastest to reach the Origin Life Realm. It only took him a little over five hundred years to break through to the tenth level. His talent is unimaginable. Over the years, he may have already accumulated extremely profound knowledge, so once he became a cosmic legend, he broke through very quickly.” “That’s possible.”

"I never expected that Senior Zhou Yu would reach the higher dimension before me." Xu Jingming was also astonished when he learned of this news.

He reached the cosmic legend first and quickly made progress in constructing a higher-dimensional life form. He thought he would definitely be the fastest, but unexpectedly, he was overtaken.

"Perhaps this is Zhou Yu's true talent," Xu Jingming remarked.

He had heard of Zhou Yu's story, who had shown extraordinary intelligence since childhood and had figured out a rough path for himself before the evolutionary path was made public.

Later, he came into contact with the Evolutionary Method and became a Source Life in just twenty-five years, protecting Blue Star from the oppression of the Black Moon Civilization. What a legend!

"How should I construct my higher-dimensional physical body?" Xu Jingming didn't think much about it and quickly immersed himself in the research again.

He felt he was very, very close to success.
Many other races also learned of this news.

"If humanity reaches a higher dimension within ten thousand years, will another formidable figure emerge?"

"Perhaps it can reach the Eternal Realm, but the final outcome is still uncertain."

"."

Some of the higher-dimensional beings from other races felt solemn, while others didn't seem to care much.

For example, the progenitor of the Prison Clan was actually a being born in a higher dimension. He came to the real universe and created the Prison Clan only for experiments. The destruction of the Prison Clan did not harm him in the slightest.

For example, Gu Mo, the strongest of the Void God Clan, didn't care at all.

The gap between higher-dimensional beings is also huge. There is a qualitative difference between those who have just broken through and those who are in the Eternal Realm. The gap between the Eternal Realm and the Third Realm is even more immeasurable.

Of course, Gu Mo is not in the third realm; he is only half a step into the third realm.

Even at the half-step into the third realm, he was incredibly terrifying; the difference between him and a newly born high-dimensional life form was like heaven and earth.

In terms of physical body, a newly advanced high-dimensional life form's physical body, when unfolded in a low dimension, is only about ten light-years long. However, a half-step third realm cultivator who excels in physical body can have a physical body that reaches a massive scale of tens of billions of light-years. Even if a being is not skilled in physical body, their physical body will not be small.

The difference is countless times, they are not even on the same level, so Gu Mo certainly wouldn't care about the newly broken through high-dimensional life.

Time passed, and Zhou Yu lived on Blue Star, helping his parents in this life become source life forms, greatly extending their lifespan.

Just a few years later, another piece of news shook human civilization.

Xu Jingming, yet another higher-dimensional being has been born.
. . .

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the mother river.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Spacetime fluctuated constantly, and suddenly two figures broke through the spacetime boundaries of the real universe and entered the Mother River.

The two, one dressed in a black robe and the other in loose casual clothes, were Zhou Yu and Xu Jingming, two high-dimensional beings newly born in human civilization.

"Is this the Mother River?"

Xu Jingming looked around with great curiosity. After entering the Mother River, he could see more than a dozen real universes around him.

"The island lord and the others have already told me the location of Wanxing Island; it's built right next to a tributary of this mother river," Zhou Yu said. "Let's go straight there."

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Zhou Yu." Xu Jingming nodded.

Newly born high-dimensional beings in normal human civilization all need to be picked up by the Time-Space Island Master. The lair of the three high-dimensional beings in the high-dimensional space is quite far from their real universe. Ordinary high-dimensional beings would easily lose their lives if they went there alone, and it would also take a long time.

However, since Zhou Yu was able to enter the Mother River, there was no need to trouble the Time-Space Island Master. Even Xu Jingming, who had just broken through, could be taken along by Zhou Yu.

"let's go."

Zhou Yu said something, and with Xu Jingming in tow, they were already gone.

call!call!call!
With each step Zhou Yu took, he traversed countless real universes at an astonishing speed.

"So fast." Xu Jingming felt a sense of awe as he sensed the constantly changing space and time around him.

"Haha, this is the special aspect of my understanding of power," Zhou Yu laughed.
“Jingming, what you have comprehended is the high-dimensional power of the Primordial Star lineage. Given the incredible nature of the Primordial Star, it may also have similar methods.”

"Perhaps." Xu Jingming nodded. Although he had never heard of anyone who could travel by relying on the Primordial Star, anything was possible.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination.

Wanxing Island is invisible to lower-dimensional life forms; from a higher-dimensional perspective, it is an island shrouded in mysterious power.

The island was built next to the Mother River because, in the event of a life-or-death crisis, the Time-Space Island Master could immediately take the Primordial Dean and the Eternal Tower Master to escape into the Mother River, greatly enhancing their ability to survive.

In fact, the combined strength of the three high-dimensional beings of human civilization is already extremely powerful. Furthermore, they obtained a forbidden weapon from the "Technological Lineage" through a fortuitous encounter. When the three of them work together, they are almost at the level of the third realm.

The main threat they felt was the ancient desert of the Void God Clan.

call!
Zhou Yu and Xu Jingming landed and soon encountered three high-dimensional beings from human civilization, as well as nearly a hundred other high-dimensional beings. These high-dimensional beings were native to high-dimensional space and had sought refuge on Wanxing Island for survival.

The Time-Space Island Master, Dean Yuanchu, and others held a welcoming ceremony for Zhou Yu and his companion, after which they officially joined Wanxing Island.

Although Zhou Yu and Xu Jingming, like other high-dimensional beings, have not yet reached the Eternal Realm, they became the fourth and fifth island lords of Wanxing Island as soon as they arrived because they came from human civilization.

“Zhou Yu, Xu Jingming, you both have the potential to reach the Eternal Realm.”

“But you have just become higher-dimensional beings and are not yet suitable for venturing out on adventures. Zhou Yu, although you can enter the Mother River, there will always be dangers that will prevent you from escaping in time.”

"So the two of you will stay on Wanxing Island for now to conduct your research. You can go out when you are strong enough," Dean Yuan Chu said.

As the first being in human civilization to reach the Eternal Realm, he did indeed have to fight desperately when he came to the higher dimension. He had to fight desperately for a little bit of resources and for a piece of inheritance.

But now, conditions are better, and they have collected some inheritances and resources on Wanxing Island, so there's no need for two high-dimensional beings in the initial stage to risk their lives.

"Understood." Zhou Yu and the other person nodded naturally.

Zhou Yu and Xu Jingming both understood that they were still very weak in higher dimensions, so they were unwilling to waste time and quickly separated to conduct their own research.

"To reach the Eternal Realm, one must create an inner universe."

Zhou Yu studied the numerous documents on Wanxing Island and quickly understood.

In fact, before the Mother River appeared, it was extremely difficult to reach the Eternal Realm, and the vast majority of high-dimensional life forms remained at the Initial Realm level.

Later, the Mother River appeared, creating a new cultivation system and opening up a universe within the body, which greatly reduced the difficulty of breaking through to the Eternal Realm.

However, even if the difficulty is reduced, creating a universe within the body is still extremely difficult.

Most native high-dimensional beings still cannot do it, and even among the strong who have grown step by step from low dimensions, only a small number can do it.

"The creation of this universe actually relies to some extent on the power of the Mother River, and does not require a perfect grasp of the rules governing the operation of the real universe." Zhou Yu understood this at this moment.

Even those in the Eternal Realm can only create universes within fixed spatial layers; they cannot create a real universe from nothing.

"However, although it is not necessary to master all the rules of the universe, it is still necessary to understand most of the rules of the universe in order to create a universe," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

The method for creating a universe is clearly explained in the information from Wanxing Island. What he needs to do is to continuously study the secrets of the universe and then create a universe within his body according to the methods described in the information.

“Different real universes operate under different rules. A wisp of my consciousness can travel through the Mother River to each real universe to assist my research.” Zhou Yu quickly made up his mind.

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