Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 56 Spatial Maze
In a dark and oppressive space, nine towering bronze pillars stood tall.

Each bronze pillar emanates a power: fire, thunder, ice, time, and space.
at this time--

Whoosh!
Zhou Yu himself suddenly appeared in this space.

"This bronze pillar truly holds a secret."

Zhou Yu looked around and was shocked by the nine bronze pillars, each containing a different power. The power within them was not strong, but the level was extremely high, even more astonishing than the World Prison.

However, before Zhou Yu could think further, a leisurely voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Wind and thunder lock time and space, ice and fire sever supernatural powers, chaos is invisible, the heavens are a cage formed by themselves, for 108,000 epochs, who can unravel the labyrinth?"

"."

"Ok?"

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat. He looked around but didn't see anyone. At the same time, he realized that what he had just said must be related to this place.

"Is this a cage? And what is this labyrinth?"

Zhou Yu quickly surveyed his surroundings while also sensing the outside world.

Zhou Yu soon discovered that with his strength, he was completely unable to tear apart the space here, and he was completely trapped here.

What's even more remarkable is that this space is somewhat similar to the "Moonlit Pool" outside the Three Realms, effectively isolating him from the memories of his other true selves and avatars.

However, the many clones Zhou Yu obtained through the "Simulation of All Heavens" do not have their communication affected by this space, which is why he can still maintain memory exchange with the outside world.

"It truly is a cage; I'm completely trapped here! Fortunately, it's just a clone, so it doesn't affect me too much," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

His true form cultivated the "Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu," possessing eighteen incarnations. If one incarnation is trapped, he simply sends another incarnation to roam the Three Realms.

"Although I'm trapped, this could also be a great opportunity," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

This place was clearly created by a cultivator, and that cultivator must be quite powerful. The fact that they were able to isolate his clone's memories is no less impressive than the methods used by the World God of Beixiu.

"I need to figure out what the 'maze' really refers to first," Zhou Yu thought to himself, as he began to examine the nine towering bronze pillars in detail.

Apart from these nine bronze pillars, there was nothing else in this vast space. Zhou Yu guessed that the mystery must lie in these bronze pillars.

However, Zhou Yu searched through the bronze pillars one by one, but initially didn't find much. These bronze pillars were made of some unknown material and were virtually indestructible. The power they emitted was of a very high level, but its strength was deliberately limited and not very strong. Zhou Yu discovered that he could draw upon this power from these bronze pillars at any time.

There was nothing else gained.

However, when Zhou Yu found the seventh bronze pillar, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"There are writings here."

Zhou Yu looked at the base of the bronze pillar. These were completely unfamiliar characters that he did not recognize at all. However, each character contained the strong Dao and will of its owner. After looking at them, Zhou Yu quickly gained an understanding of these characters.

"I, Feiyu, was unexpectedly trapped here. After endless years of painstaking research, I finally realized that this maze must be a set of hammer techniques. Only by combining these techniques with nine different powers can this maze be solved. Unfortunately, the nine powers are too advanced, and I cannot even complete one part of it within the allotted time. My hammer techniques are recorded here. If anyone is trapped in this space again, they can refer to them."

Beneath the text were a series of illustrations. After glancing at them a few times, Zhou Yu felt that they indeed contained a profound and unfathomable hammering technique.

"Feiyu is probably at least a being who has mastered the power of the fifth level of origin." Zhou Yu had a vague judgment.

However, there was more text below, so Zhou Yu continued reading.

"Old Ghost Feiyu is truly a menace. I, Haohai, am trapped here. At first, I believed what he said and painstakingly studied the hammer technique, but I accomplished nothing. Later, after my research, I realized that this is clearly a set of palm techniques. Only by combining palm techniques with nine kinds of power can one break through the 'maze'. I have also left my palm technique here so that future generations can study it."

Below were more patterns, which Zhou Yu could see were indeed sets of palm techniques.

The palm technique was so exquisite that it was practically perfect, even surpassing the previous hammer technique.

However, there is other text below.

"I have observed what you two have said before, and I have also studied this place on my own for over ten thousand years. I have even managed to comprehend a sword technique from it. In my opinion, the key to breaking through this place lies not in using a particular weapon, but in the combination of nine powers. Unfortunately, I was only able to barely manage to combine five of them, which is truly regrettable."

"This third commenter is clearly quite extraordinary," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

The previous two took a long time to figure out anything from this maze, but he comprehended swordsmanship in just over ten thousand years and eventually even completed the combination of five powers.
Unfortunately, it still failed.

Zhou Yu continued reading and found that five more people had left comments. They all agreed with what the third commenter said, but none of them had achieved as much as the third commenter.

"To solve this maze, we only have about 108 trillion years, which is one Chaos Era. I am the ninth person to arrive here. If we fail within the allotted time, where did everyone else go?" Zhou Yu pondered.

However, these questions are destined to remain unanswered for now.

They come, the security.

With the methods left behind by the previous eight people, he might as well try to comprehend this "maze".

. . .

At this time in the outside world.

Whoosh!
Zhou Yu's other self left the world prison and arrived at the place where his original self's clone had been sucked into the mysterious space.

Zhou Yu waved his hand to put away the nine-zhang-tall bronze pillar, feeling a sense of melancholy.

He sent his second primordial spirit avatar away from the Three Realms, intending to use the role of "Chosen One" to seek opportunities, but unexpectedly, he encountered these opportunities within the Three Realms.

This unexpected event was indeed an opportunity for Zhou Yu. Although he was trapped, he was only an avatar after all.

If the maze can be solved in the end, it may be of great help to Zhou Yu. Isn't this a stroke of luck?
"However, the second primordial spirit can continue to search in the chaos."

Zhou Yu wasn't in a hurry to bring his second primordial spirit back. He continued searching, hoping to encounter other opportunities.

After sorting through the numerous treasures, Zhou Yu shook his head. Sure enough, the bronze pillar was just an accident. He carefully examined the remaining treasures and confirmed that they were all ordinary treasures, and he didn't find anything special about them.

That's right, such an opportunity isn't something you can just stumble upon easily. Even if he has the talent of a chosen one, that talent can't just appear out of thin air!
"Never mind, let's start the simulation anyway," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

He had already accumulated enough energy during the previous war simulations, but he hadn't rushed to start the simulations. Now he could simulate it again.
