Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 71 Treasure-Crossing Envoy Mission

In Chaos City, there is an ancient side hall where humans exchange treasures, but generally only Universe Venerables come here.

Zhou Yu had never been here before; this was his first time.

When Zhou Yu walked to the side hall.

Rumble.
The ancient palace gates slowly opened, revealing a bronze gate over a hundred meters wide. As Zhou Yu stepped inside, the gates closed again.

The main hall was very spacious, but empty, except for a stone platform about 100 meters high in the center.

That's the 'treasure appraisal platform'. Just place the treasure on it, and it will automatically appraise it and determine its value.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yu conjured a blood-red vine about a meter long on the appraisal platform.

After waiting for a moment, a sound suddenly appeared.

"The core of the Bloodvine can be offered to the clan for 0.1 Treasure Points. Zhou Yu, would you like to offer this treasure to the clan?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yu naturally chose yes.

Wow!
The stone platform suddenly split open in the center, and a section of the blood-red vine fell below. Then the stone platform quickly restored itself.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yu took out another treasure.

"The Star Soul Fruit, if offered to the clan, will grant 0.3 Treasure Points. Zhou Yu, would you like to offer the treasure to the clan?"

"Yes"

Zhou Yu chose yes again.

At this time, he continued to offer up treasures one by one. He received 3216 treasures from the Lord of the Crimson Underworld and eventually offered up 3106 treasures.

The vast majority of these treasures are worth less than 1 Treasure Point.

However, there are also extremely rare ones, with the highest reaching 52 Treasure Points.

In the end, Zhou Yu obtained a total of 2150 Treasure Points.

This is an enormous fortune. The Chaos City Lord's statement that Zhou Yu had struck it lucky was indeed true.

It's truly remarkable that the Lord of the Crimson Underworld, a lone wolf, has managed to amass such a vast fortune.

"However, although we have a lot of Treasure Points, we still need to think carefully about how to use them," Zhou Yu pondered.

First, the genetic level of the human clones needs to be improved.

Zhou Yu then opened the "Detailed Form for Exchanging Precious Human Treasures" and quickly selected the Special Resources category from the four major categories: Supreme Treasures, Important Treasures, Materials, and Special Resources.

There are actually many treasures that can enhance one's genetic level, but ordinary immortals and even cosmic venerables cannot access them. Now that the Lord of Chaos City has granted Zhou Yu access, Zhou Yu naturally found many such treasures with ease.

"It's very easy to raise the gene level by 100 times, but it's much more difficult to raise it by 1000 times, which would require about 100 Treasure Points. Raising it to 2000 times would be much more costly, requiring 350 Treasure Points. Raising it to 3000 times would be even more costly, requiring 1,000 Treasure Points."

"It's generally difficult to increase it further once it reaches 3000 times."

Looking at the treasures on the list, Zhou Yu quickly got a sense of what they were.

Even with the treasures in the human race's treasury, the maximum increase is only 3000 times. To improve further, one needs a special opportunity.

"3000 times is already very high. My Seven Star Vine clone is only at the 1000-fold genetic level," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

Of course, the main reason why the Seven Star Vine can split into clones is because it is large enough.

Large size is an advantage; the massive reserves of divine power can provide a significant advantage in battles at the level of universe masters.

"Then let's increase it to 3000 times," Zhou Yu decided after deep thought.

The genetic level has reached 3000 times, which is not only three times stronger than 1000 times, but also a qualitative change in physique.

Below the level of the Lord of the Universe, apart from special life forms, the limit of normal life's genes is one hundred times.

As the master of the universe breaks this limit, his physical size will also increase as his genetic level improves.

With a genetic level more than 1000 times higher, the body size could be thousands of kilometers.

But at a genetic level of 3000 times, the size would reach tens of thousands of kilometers.

The difference in their divine power reserves is quite significant.

Therefore, Zhou Yu was willing to spend 1000 Treasure Points to upgrade his gene level to 3000 times. "I still have more than 1,100 Treasure Points left." Zhou Yu thought for a moment and opened the Treasure Exchange List.

The value of various treasures varies greatly. Ordinary weapon and armor treasures only require a few treasure points, while high-level and top-tier weapon and armor treasures are not considered expensive.

Even if it's a top-tier treasure, Zhou Yu could probably exchange his more than 1,000 treasure points for one.

However, some special treasures, such as those related to flying palaces, domains, or souls, are very expensive.

Even the top-tier ones are beyond Zhou Yu's means at this point.

"I don't need armor, and I don't need weapons for now either," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

He had just had it appraised at the treasure appraisal platform, and the "Starflow God-Slaying Armor" he obtained was a top-tier treasure armor, which was more than enough for Zhou Yu to use at this moment.

As for weapons, Zhou Yu's special style means that ordinary weapons are not very effective against him. The key point is that he has just broken through and has not yet created any secret techniques at the level of the Lord of the Universe.

He only has one basic move, "manipulating time and space," which he can't use even if he has a weapon.

"Living is the most important thing." Zhou Yu knew very well that his human clone's ability to protect itself was only so-so.

He was fearless in immortality because he could be resurrected after death.

Now, if someone dies, they are truly dead.

“A palace-type treasure.” Zhou Yu quickly made his decision.

The best flying palace-type treasure he can exchange for is the "Nine Dragons Palace," worth 800 treasure points. Although it is only a high-level treasure, it is actually very close to a top-tier treasure.

"With such a palace-like treasure, as long as I don't leave the primordial universe, it's difficult for me to die even if I want to." Zhou Yu nodded with great satisfaction.

Even if he encounters a crisis in the primordial universe, he can still call for help.

They held out for a while thanks to the palace's treasures, and naturally, powerful human warriors arrived.

"Let's exchange for another soul-type treasure." Zhou Yu then exchanged for another high-level soul-type treasure.

However, he didn't have enough Treasure Points left to exchange for a better high-level Soul Treasure, so he only got a relatively ordinary one.

Of course, this was enough for Zhou Yu. After all, he was already the Lord of the Universe, and it was already very difficult for him to be killed by his soul. With a high-level soul-type treasure guarding him, he was naturally foolproof.

. . .

After exchanging the treasures, Zhou Yu went to the Lord of Chaos City.

"What are your plans now?" the Chaos City Lord asked Zhou Yu.

"I haven't decided yet. I need to plan it out properly." Zhou Yu shook his head.

He's in no hurry to reveal his strength simply because he wants the source energy. Once he reveals that he is the master of the universe, he probably won't be able to kill at will anymore.

After all, a neutral powerhouse wouldn't act without a reason. As for powerful beings from opposing races, he's currently no match for the Lord of the Universe. Using the strength of the strong to bully the weak against a Universe Venerable would be easily imitated by others to kill human Universe Venerables, which is clearly not feasible.

He won't reveal his strength now; he'll wait for someone to come after him, and then he can retaliate legitimately.

Such an opportunity only comes once, so Zhou Yu naturally had to plan it carefully.

How to kill more is also a problem.

"The company has an envoy mission, but we haven't found a candidate yet. If you're interested, you can go and take a trip," the Chaos City Lord said.

"An envoy's mission?"

"Not long ago, a new cosmic secret realm was discovered at the edge of the universe. Some of our human race went to explore it and discovered a very large human race. This human race as a whole is not strong, but there should be an extremely powerful chieftain," said the Chaos City Lord.
"Our general strategy for dealing with such mysterious human races is to absorb and integrate them. Of course, many races choose to remain independent; it all depends on their own choices."

The concept of the extraterrestrial human race is indeed very large. Many environments can give rise to human life. Not every branch of the human race eventually merges with the extraterrestrial human race. Some are independent, and some even merge first and then become independent again.

However, Zhou Yu was not concerned about these things at the moment. Instead, he wondered why the situation the Chaos City Lord was talking about sounded somewhat familiar.

"Teacher, do you have detailed information?" Zhou Yu asked.

“There are some.” The Chaos City Lord nodded, then sent some materials to Zhou Yu in the virtual universe.

After examining it, Zhou Yu quickly confirmed that it was indeed the human race led by the Seven Star Vine clone.

"That makes sense. It's a newly discovered secret realm, a huge clan, and an extremely powerful clan leader. What a coincidence!" Zhou Yu thought to himself.

"Teacher, I'll take this task," Zhou Yu said with a smile.
