Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 183 The Gift of Eternity - A Century in a Flash

The master of Demon Mountain quickly relayed a great deal of information to Zhou Yu.

For example, this universe has produced three beings at the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm: the Lord of the Peacock Palace, the Lord of Truth, and the Lord of Plum Blossom Mountain.

Of the three, the Peacock Palace Master had already left the universe, the Lord of Truth was expelled by the Dragon Ancestor, who was at the limit of the Eight Tribulations Realm, because he had once caused trouble in the universe, and the Plum Blossom Mountain Master was in a deep sleep.

Although the three were not present, and even the Peacock Palace Master and the Lord of Truth were in places extremely far from their home universe, the Demon Mountain Master only mentioned a name, and due to the causal connection, Zhou Yu also sensed the presence of the three and saw the scene of their existence.

Besides providing a lot of information, the Demon Mountain Master also invited Zhou Yu to travel to the outside of the universe together if he successfully transcended the tribulation. Zhou Yu thought about it and agreed. After all, he was at the Nascent Soul Tribulation Realm and had nine clones, so sending out one clone was nothing.

Zhou Yu didn't say much to the master of Demon Mountain; he quickly took his leave.

At the same time, the primordial spirit clone that Zhou Yu killed the Myriad Stars Heavenly Emperor also returned to his White Bird Pavilion with the White Bird Pavilion Master.

"Zhou Yu, my injury?" The White Bird Pavilion Master looked at Zhou Yu with some concern.

He only speculated that the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm could heal his Primordial Spirit injuries, but the actual situation was still unknown.

“It’s not difficult to cure. I just need to make you forget that eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.” After examining him, Zhou Yu began to use his Nascent Soul power to change the mind of the White Bird Pavilion Master.

Of course, it didn't change anything too drastically; it simply erased all of the White Bird Pavilion Master's memories of that person at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

For someone at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm, memory and thought are power. As long as the White Bird Pavilion Master remembers that eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm, he will continue to be eroded.

Forget it, and you'll naturally recover.

Just like how Zhou Yu killed the Myriad Stars Heavenly Emperor's clone in the world of life by continuously sending memories into the Myriad Stars Heavenly Emperor's mind.

Sure enough, as Zhou Yu helped the White Bird Pavilion Master erase his memories, the White Bird Pavilion Master quickly felt those terrifying corrosive forces, which were like maggots clinging to his bones, disappear.

At this moment, the White Bird Pavilion Master was also filled with emotion. He realized that choosing to believe in Zhou Yu was the right decision he had ever made.

The White Bird Pavilion Master bowed and thanked him, while Zhou Yu said, "We had agreed on this beforehand, so it's nothing. However, I need to prepare for my tribulation, so I won't stay any longer."

The White Bird Pavilion Master naturally understood the importance of transcending the tribulation. He didn't say much, but solemnly said, "I believe you can succeed."

"Haha, let's hope so."

Zhou Yu smiled, and his figure had already disappeared from that spot.

. . .

In the Cangyuan Realm, Zhou Yu sat cross-legged in a small courtyard on Yuanchu Mountain.

At this moment, he quietly felt the eternal power left behind within his primordial spirit world.

It took Zhou Yu three days to understand some of the mysteries on the surface of that power.

Boom!

Zhou Yu's primordial spirit power suddenly broke through a certain barrier.

hum!
An invisible fluctuation appeared, and everything within a ten-meter radius of Zhou Yu was completely changed.

"This seems to be a realm completely isolated from external rules, with its own set of rules."

As Zhou Yu pondered this, he suddenly discovered that a mysterious power was being generated within his body and absorbed by him.

"This power is reshaping my primordial spirit world." Zhou Yu felt all of this, but he was powerless to stop it.

However, Zhou Yu could clearly see that his primordial spirit world had more traces of "space-time". When all the powers had finished permeating, the domain that had enveloped Zhou Yu's clone also disappeared.

“Eternal existence has given me a power.”

At this moment, Zhou Yu fully understood that when his primordial spirit power activated the "time-space traces" within his primordial spirit world, other Zhou Yu clones began to appear around him.

One, two, three.
In the blink of an eye, it reached three thousand.

The three thousand Zhou Yu were all beings at the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Most of Zhou Yu's thoughts were so quick that he left the Cangyuan Realm and headed to various places along the River of Time.

“The maximum range of these three thousand clones is limited to this river of time and space; they cannot leave this universe.” Zhou Yu understood at this moment.

This clone was not created by him, but was bestowed by an eternal being, similar to a "talented secret technique" that he could activate but did not understand.

But one thing is certain: this ability is extremely powerful.

Regardless of how much it increases one's strength, having three thousand clones significantly improves the efficiency of cultivation.

Originally, Zhou Yu only had nine primordial spirit clones and only a hundred years to prepare for the heavenly tribulation, but now it is equivalent to having more than three hundred times more time.

Efficiency is greatly improved, and the success rate is naturally much higher.

While Zhou Yu was experiencing his three thousand clones, somewhere in the river of time and space, an existence whose physical body was comparable to the entire universe also looked towards the endless river of time and space.

"In my home universe, another cultivator at the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm has finally appeared. I hope he can successfully transcend the tribulation." This being thought to himself, but soon, he froze.

"What? So many clones?"

"This is a talent bestowed by eternity, yet he hasn't even survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and he's already been granted such a precious talent?" Whew!
A figure suddenly appeared in front of one of Zhou Yu's clones.

This is a figure dressed in a black robe with a dragon's head.

"Dragon Ancestor?"

Zhou Yu recognized the other party. Although he had never met the Dragon Ancestor, he could still confirm his identity through causal intuition.

“Zhou Yu.” The Dragon Ancestor looked at Zhou Yu and smiled, “I am truly happy that an existence like you has appeared in my home universe.”

The Dragon Ancestor was indeed happy at this moment.

The Eighth Tribulation Realm of the Primordial Spirit is already special, and now Zhou Yu has displayed three thousand clones, which are probably much more troublesome than most top Eighth Tribulation Realm experts.

The key point is that Zhou Yu was endowed with such a precious talent by the Eternal Being even before he underwent tribulation, which shows that the Eternal Being is at least quite concerned about Zhou Yu.

Once Zhou Yu successfully transcends his tribulation, he will immediately become a terrifyingly influential figure.

"Dragon Ancestor, you flatter me. I haven't even undergone the tribulation yet," Zhou Yu shook his head.

“For you, overcoming the tribulation is the most important thing,” the Dragon Ancestor said. “I’ve come here this time to lend you a hand.”

As he spoke, the Dragon Ancestor waved his hand, and a "Map of Time and Space Territory" appeared, with a location marked on it.

"The location marked on this 'Time-Space Territory Map' is the Mountain of Books. This Mountain of Books was created by me, and ninety percent of the books I've collected over countless years are within it. Every eighth-tribulation realm cultivator about to undergo tribulation can go and view it," said the Dragon Ancestor.
"However, if you successfully transcend the tribulation, you will need to collect the equivalent of one billion cubic meters of extraterrestrial crystals and put them into it."

"Thank you, Dragon Ancestor." Zhou Yu bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Clearly, the Dragon Ancestor's action was quite selfless, greatly increasing their chances of succeeding in the eighth tribulation realm of the universe.

"I will only be truly happy if you succeed," the Dragon Ancestor said with a smile.

He was already looking forward to it; having three thousand clones at the eighth tribulation stage of the primordial spirit realm would indeed be a great boost to their universe.

After giving Zhou Yu a few more instructions, the Dragon Ancestor quickly left.

Based on the time-space map that the Dragon Ancestor had shown him before, Zhou Yu sent many of his clones to the independent time-space where the Book Mountain was located.

"The eighth tribulation of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation tests wisdom, and the help from the Mountain of Books is indeed the greatest." Zhou Yu looked at the numerous books in front of him and felt quite emotional.

The eighth tribulation will not test your strengths or mastery of anything; instead, it will test what you are not good at or familiar with. At this time, you can only rely on your own wisdom.

"Let's hurry up." Without much thought, Zhou Yu's numerous clones quickly immersed themselves in the ocean of books.

Within the mountain of books, there are many eternal inheritances. Although they only reach the peak of the eighth tribulation at most, which cannot compare with the three inheritances that Zhou Yu obtained, they have greatly broadened Zhou Yu's knowledge.

At this time, there were also a large number of Eight Tribulation Realm scriptures, as well as rule scriptures from other universes, which greatly broadened Zhou Yu's knowledge.

"From the Eighth Tribulation Realm to the Ninth Tribulation Realm, the eternal level, is enlightenment. The Dao is divided into countless paths, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, swordsmanship, life, destruction, spacetime formations, and so on. Zhou Yu understood this at this moment."

The rules of spacetime are fundamental, giving rise to all things.

Just like the rules of heaven and earth in the world of "Snow Eagle Lord" and the chaotic laws in the world of "Swallowed Star", they are all the foundation of "Tao".

Of course, the rules of heaven and earth, the rules of spacetime, and the laws of chaos are all at different levels, but the situations are similar.

"The eternal being who helped me might be one who excels at destroying paths," Zhou Yu speculated in his mind.

Because the opponent's weapon, that "great seal," contains the mysteries of destruction.

Zhou Yu did not rush to delve into the path of cultivation. Instead, he studied many classic texts, absorbing their wisdom. His three thousand clones also continuously tried new paths of cultivation, allowing him to accumulate more profound knowledge.

At the same time, Zhou Yu was also trying to create a physical body at the Eighth Tribulation Realm.

Even if he created it, he would not be able to transform his physical body to face the heavenly tribulation. However, the process of creation was a kind of tempering for Zhou Yu, and also a kind of understanding of the "Dao of Arrays".

After all, Zhou Yu's creation of physical bodies, starting from the Fifth Tribulation Realm, was based on formations.

While Zhou Yu was busy improving himself, the news that he had become an Eighth Tribulation Life Form had spread far and wide throughout the river of time.

Those at the Seven Tribulation Realm who hadn't been able to meet Zhou Yu before were now trying every possible way to do so.

Some are offering treasures in exchange for a promise.

Some people encounter problems they cannot solve and want to seek help.
Zhou Yu had enough clones at the moment, so he met with all of these Seven Tribulation Realm cultivators who requested an audience.

In fact, some treasures that a Seventh Tribulation Realm cultivator can produce are sometimes useful to an Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivator, such as when Ancestor Cangyuan unexpectedly obtained an Eternal Treasure.

Even if the other seven tribulations realm cultivators don't have such incredible luck, they might still obtain some remarkable treasures.

Zhou Yu gained quite a bit from some of the treasures.

Before we knew it, a century had passed.

Over the past century, Zhou Yu neither deliberately sped up the flow of time nor slowed it down, but let it pass naturally.

And once every hundred years, the eighth tribulation of the primordial spirit arrived as scheduled.
P.S.: That's all for today.
