Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 82 Simulation Successful, Strength Transformation
[You decided to undergo the tribulation. The legendary Heavenly Tribulation was indeed not too difficult for you, given the help of the Dao Lord. You easily passed the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Heavenly God.]

At the moment you become a god, you feel the world that was once so all-encompassing suddenly become incredibly violent, as if it wants to devour and tear you apart. At the same time, a force acts on you, trying to take you away.

You did not resist, allowing this force to carry you away from the Thousand Star Continent.

[You have arrived in the legendary Immortal Realm. The power of heaven and earth in the Immortal Realm is indeed countless times denser than that of the Thousand Star Continent. Moreover, in the Immortal Realm, you can clearly sense many different Daos, which is many times better than on the Thousand Star Continent. However, before you can truly comprehend everything, you are found by a five-person team. Each of them possesses a powerful aura, and you discover that all five are Celestial Gods. The five Celestial Gods are also surprised to see that you are also a Celestial God. Most newly ascended beings are weak Celestial Immortals; Celestial Gods are extremely rare.]

The five people quickly tell you that they are the enforcement team of this world, specifically searching for newly ascended beings. All ascended beings must verify their identity before entering this world. At this point, you choose: 1. Obey. 2. Escape.

"obey."

Zhou Yu chose to obey without much thought.

[You followed the five people to the center of this world, where a temple exuded a terrifying aura of destruction. You learned from the five that this was the Temple of Destruction, a place built by the creator of this world. Every epoch of chaos, the creator would appear and take all the ancestral gods and immortals away from this world to the legendary realm of gods.]

[You understand, this Immortal Realm is a certain grotto-heaven world, while the God Realm is the main cosmic space of this alien universe.]

After leaving your identity information at the Temple of Destruction, you arrived at a city below. This city requires a valuable item to reside in, and since you possess a great many treasures, you decided to stay here.

[Within the city, you gather information from all directions and soon realize that the Immortal Realm is extremely cruel and chaotic. Generally, those who ascend to the Heavenly Immortal realm are at the very bottom and have no ability to live in a safe city. Once outside, they will soon be plundered or join plundering forces and become plunderers themselves.]

[Those who ascend to godhood are in a slightly better position, as they can join some factions. However, most factions are not very stable, since every Chaos Era, all the Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals are taken away, and all factions will be reshuffled. Only the Temple of Destruction is the most stable, but joining the Temple of Destruction is extremely difficult; only the best of the best at the same level have a chance.]

Only now do you realize how lucky you are to have the resources left behind by Daoist Tie Xing, which can save you a lot of trouble.

[You begin cultivating the divine abilities left behind by Daoist Tie Xing within the city. The most powerful of these is the "Great Thousand Clone Technique," which can create a thousand clones. This is similar to the "Thousand Body Sacred Scripture" in your memory, both of which require extremely precious treasures to cultivate. Normally, even gods would never be able to cultivate such a technique. Fortunately, Daoist Tie Xing has prepared one for you.]

Soon, you successfully cultivated a thousand avatars at the level of a celestial being. Following that, you cultivated a supernatural power similar to a single original body, merging 980 of these avatars into one, leaving twenty ordinary avatars as backups.

[With your 980 clones combined into one, your divine power has completely reached the level of a true god.]

[You then begin cultivating the divine power "Dark Star Divine Power," and your divine power erupts with significantly increased strength.]

[Continue to cultivate the supernatural power "Golden Light Indestructible Body," and your divine body will soon reach a level comparable to a primordial treasure.]

[You have also cultivated the supernatural power "Flying Goose Technique," and your escape speed has easily reached the limit of the Heavenly Dao.]

Having mastered numerous supernatural powers, you feel terrifyingly strong, capable of destroying any god with a flick of your wrist. At this point, you choose: 1. Go out and join the Temple of Destruction. 2. Continue to cultivate your abilities.

"Let's settle down and see." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu decided to settle down. The conditions were really too good. Even if he worked hard, he might be able to become a true god.

[You choose to continue to reflect and silently comprehend the Dao of the "Immortal Realm." Based on the information you've gathered, the Dao of the Immortal Realm corresponds to the Three Realms in your memory. The Dao here is also divided into Ordinary Dao, Great Dao, and Heavenly Dao, but there are far more Daos. There are as many as thirty-six Heavenly Daos, and countless others.]

[When you were on the Thousand Star Continent, you were already quite adept at comprehending time and space. Now you are also beginning to comprehend the Great Dao in this area. With your divine body formed by the fusion of nearly a thousand avatars, you are comparable to a true god, and your divine soul is also equivalent to that of a true god. Therefore, your speed of comprehending the Dao is astonishing.]

[When you are 11000 years old, you will have comprehended a great path in the realm of space.]

[At 13000 years old, he comprehended a fundamental principle related to time.]

[At age 15234, you found the opportunity to become a true god by relying on the divine and demonic body-refining method "Vast Divine and Demonic Body" prepared for you by Daoist Tie Xing. You chose to break through in a low-key manner.]

After becoming a true god, your divine body is now comparable to that of an ancestral god, placing you at the very pinnacle of the immortal realm.

At this point, you choose: 1. Continue to settle down. 2. Go out.

"Let it settle." Zhou Yu thought for a moment and made his choice. Since there was no time limit, he would only make the safest option.

[You chose to continue to cultivate and began to comprehend the Heavenly Dao of Space and the Heavenly Dao of Time. Unknowingly, you have already been a million years old. In these million years, you have been trying to comprehend the Heavenly Dao with your Ancestral God-level divine soul, but your progress has not been significant. You understand that your talent is not high, and that you have been able to reach this point almost entirely due to the resources that Iron Star Dao Lord has accumulated.]

[You decided to begin making your mark in the Immortal Realm, but instead of revealing your most powerful avatar, you sent a ten-in-one avatar away from your residence to the Temple of Destruction to participate in the assessment.]

Although your level of enlightenment is average, you have mastered many powerful divine abilities, and your ten-in-one clones naturally possess ten times the divine power of a normal true god. You have finally passed the test and truly entered the Temple of Destruction.

[As a True God, you have been assigned to an enforcement team, specifically responsible for apprehending those who violate the rules of the Temple of Destruction. Here, you have also come into contact with many methods related to the Heavenly Dao, and your speed of enlightenment has significantly improved.]

[You are extremely busy in the enforcement team, frequently going out to arrest powerful individuals who violate regulations. At this time, the entire Immortal Realm is on the verge of chaos. You soon learn that the next opportunity to ascend to the God Realm is not far off, and many powerful individuals who have been in seclusion are now emerging to seek opportunities for breakthroughs. Otherwise, they will have to wait another Chaos Era, which is far too long.]

[You also felt you couldn't miss this opportunity, so you chose to exchange the treasure left behind by Daoist Tie Xing for a chaotic artifact that could accelerate time, and began to comprehend the Dao of Heaven through time acceleration.]

[The enforcement team's frequent actions have earned you many merits and more resources. You are not lacking in supernatural powers, and you have invested all these resources in comprehending the Way of Heaven.]

[With your ancestral god-level divine soul and abundant resources, even if you comprehend the two great Heavenly Daos of time and space simultaneously, your progress is not slow. Although you cannot compare with some geniuses who comprehend the Heavenly Dao in tens of thousands of years, after several million years, or several hundred million years with time acceleration, your two great Heavenly Daos have reached their final bottlenecks.]

You know that the final bottleneck is the hardest part, but you're not in a hurry.

When you are twelve million years old, your avatar in the enforcement team encounters an accident and is killed by a true god who is almost an ancestral deity.

In a fit of rage, you unleashed your strongest clone, instantly annihilating that true god.

[Your actions this time have caused quite a stir, after all, you only have such strength because of your powerful divine body. But don't panic. You chose to hide your special abilities because you didn't want to expose them before, but over the years in the enforcement team, you've already found out that you're not the only one with such special experiences.]

As you know, the Temple of Destruction wasn't too surprised by the power you displayed; on the contrary, they valued you highly and included you in their core training program.

[You enjoyed more resources, and when you were thirty million years old, you suddenly had an epiphany and comprehended the Dao of Space.]

More than a million years later, you found the opportunity to break through to the Ancestral God level using the "Vast Divine Demon Body," and you chose to do so.

【Simulation successful.】

. . .

The world of the Yu the Great's human race.

"The simulation was successful."

Zhou Yu looked at the words that appeared before him, but he wasn't surprised.

Normally speaking, it is extremely difficult to become an ancestral god based on only one talent.

Of the three talents mentioned earlier, even the second talent, which appears to have the highest success rate, has a high probability of failure. This is because no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents during the cultivation process. No matter how good the talent is, it still needs room for growth.

An important fact is that most geniuses fall during their development, and only those who ultimately rise to the top are the true strongmen.

It is indeed too difficult to become an ancestral god based solely on talent.

However, he ultimately chose Talent 3. While Talent 2 was less stable when not chosen, it attracted "Iron Star Daoist" at the start of the game, which changed everything.

If a Daoist Lord is willing to put in the effort, it is not difficult to cultivate an Ancestral God.

As expected, in the simulation, he smoothly passed through the Heavenly Tribulation, and after becoming a Heavenly God, he laid an incredibly terrifying foundation, eventually easily reaching the level of an Ancestral God.

At this moment--

Boom!

A flood of memories also rushed into Zhou Yu's mind. These memories were quite extensive, but Zhou Yu's heart remained calm.

He had already mastered the methods left behind by Daoist Tie Xing during the previous memory transfers.

At this point, the only part of these subsequent memories that he truly cared about was his understanding of the complete spatial Dao.

The Heavenly Way is different from the power of origin, but it is also deeply related. Understanding the Heavenly Way is also of great benefit to understanding the power of origin.

"Of course, the Heavenly Dao of Space alone is not enough. If I could also comprehend the Heavenly Dao of Time, that would be truly formidable," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

In the records of the simulated "Immortal Realm," the ancestral gods who simultaneously mastered the Heavenly Dao of Time and the Heavenly Dao of Space were the top ancestral gods.

Clearly, this is the same situation as the opposing Heavenly Dao in the Three Realms. The Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, and others all reached the level of leaders by mastering the opposing Heavenly Dao.

Of course, this step is extremely difficult. Although he has comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Time to the final step in the simulation, the final step will be interfered with by the Heavenly Dao of Space. With his talent in the simulation, there is no possibility of success.

But now Zhou Yu has taken over this clone, and with his current talent, he has a real chance of comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Time at the same time.

Zhou Yu guessed that simultaneously comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Time and the Heavenly Dao of Space would greatly help him comprehend time and space.

"Moreover, with the 'Spatial Heavenly Dao,' I no longer need to comprehend the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms," Zhou Yu thought with a sigh.

Although it is the spatial heavenly way of another universe, under the perfected world realm, there is no difference between the way of the chaotic universe and the way of another universe.

Breaking through to the levels of Ancestral God and Ancestral Immortal requires the support of the "Dao." As long as it is the Dao at the Heavenly Dao level, it is naturally sufficient to support the divine body of an Ancestral God and the golden elixir of an Ancestral Immortal.

Just like the powerful beings outside the Three Realms, they do not grasp the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms, but they can still become Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals.

Zhou Yu is the same; with the support of the Heavenly Dao of Space, there is no problem for him to break through.

“Although comprehending the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms might be quick for me, it would naturally be better if it didn’t take any time,” Zhou Yu nodded to himself.

He had previously decided to comprehend the Dao of Life, since he had a certain foundation in this area. However, he was not particularly interested in the path of "life," and it felt like a waste of time to comprehend this path in order to break through to the Ancestral God realm.

This problem is now perfectly solved.

Finally, there's the talent of being a "naturally gifted person."

Zhou Yu pondered. This talent performed exceptionally well in the simulation, after all, it directly attracted a Dao Lord.

But in reality, it's hard to say.

“Like the chosen ones, the prerequisite for attracting powerful beings is that there must be powerful beings nearby.” Zhou Yu understood that this talent certainly couldn’t have appeared out of thin air.

"Moreover, according to what Daoist Tie Xing said in the simulation, he felt a sense of familiarity when I was born in the simulation, which is why he chose to stay. It seems that even if this talent attracts the attention of a powerful figure, it is because of a good direction." Zhou Yu was not surprised.

It's fine if this talent doesn't work, but we can't let him down.

He chose this talent because he was gambling on the level of the powerful beings he would attract. If he attracted a relatively ordinary powerful being at the beginning, the simulation would most likely fail. Only by attracting a Dao Lord could he easily succeed.

"However, breaking through to the Ancestral God level requires some time to find the right opportunity, while breaking through to the Ancestral Immortal level can be done directly." Zhou Yu thought to himself, then got up and headed to the Ancient Human Treasure Vault located in the World of the Great Yu Human Race.

"Ah? It's Senior Qianyu!" The celestial being guarding the area greeted Zhou Yu with immense enthusiasm upon seeing him. At this moment, Zhou Yu enjoyed immense prestige within Nuwa's camp, and his command of the grand formation was terrifyingly powerful, naturally commanding respect.

"I want to exchange for some Great Luo Immortal Pills," Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"The Great Luo Immortal Pill?" The celestial being was taken aback for a moment, but didn't think much of it.

However, when Zhou Yu said a number, he was completely stunned.

"This...this is too much. I cannot make a decision on this. Senior Qianyu, please wait a moment." The celestial being immediately reported the news.

If it were an ordinary celestial being or immortal, they wouldn't receive this treatment when exchanging treasures; they simply wouldn't receive it. But Zhou Yu is different.

"Qianyu wants to exchange so many Great Luo Immortal Pills? That's enough for several Heavenly Gods to cultivate to the ninth level of the Eight-Nine Profound Technique." Soon, the news reached Emperor Yao.

Although he was puzzled, he immediately sent his divine power avatar to help Zhou Yu exchange for the Great Luo Immortal Pill he needed.

"No matter what, I was able to win the previous battle easily entirely thanks to Qian Yu's help. It's a pity he didn't ask for anything beforehand, and I want to thank him but I don't know how." Emperor Yao sighed inwardly. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally seized it, and he didn't want to owe too many favors.

After a few polite exchanges, Zhou Yu accepted the elixir, as it was indeed something he desperately needed.

"let's start."

After returning to the quiet room of his mansion, Zhou Yu's main body and second primordial spirit began to devour the Great Luo Immortal Pill.

A massive amount of power surged into his golden core, and with the "Spatial Heavenly Dao" as its core, his second-grade golden core began to transform.

At the same time, within the world's prison and amidst the chaos, Zhou Yu's other clones also began to break through.

However, the breakthroughs of the other clones do not require elixirs.

The reason why Zhou Yu's main body and second primordial spirit in the Dayu human world chose to break through with the Great Luo Immortal Pill was because it was inconvenient for his two clones to leave the Dayu human world. Directly absorbing the power of heaven and earth would cause too much disturbance and be too slow.

The other clones are much simpler; they can draw power directly from the chaos.

Having mastered the Dao of Space, he had already gained some understanding of chaos, and could naturally draw power directly from it.

Zhou Yu's breakthrough took a long time, but it was finally over. When he succeeded, Zhou Yu realized that he was completely different.

"Second-class Ancestral Immortal!"

Zhou Yu felt his incredibly powerful magic and sighed inwardly.

With such magical power alone, he was already close to the pinnacle in the Three Realms, not to mention that he had a full fifty-four such clones.

"If all the clones were to form an array, their power should be close to that of a top-tier Ancestral God," Zhou Yu pondered.

Of course, the premise is that he can control this power. Whether he can control this enormous power based solely on his mastery of array formations is still unknown.

"No rush. Only those who can unleash all their clones are top-tier Ancestral Gods. I'm still far from that level." Zhou Yu had no anxious thoughts at this moment.

He understood that the situation within the Three Realms was too complex, and he needed to make thorough preparations before he could truly take action.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had a sudden thought, and instantly, the terrifying aura that he was about to unleash subsided into silence.

He used to be a second-class True Immortal, and he could easily hide himself by using the method of concealing his aura within the Three Realms, but that's not enough now.

Fortunately, during this simulation, Daoist Tie Xing gave him many practical methods, making it easy for him to conceal the aura of a second-level Ancestral Immortal.

the other side--

Wow!
Zhou Yu's true god clone returned to his cave. He had just taken the World Prison to the Chaos, and all his clones had now completed their breakthroughs.

After returning to his cave, Zhou Yu's true god avatar also entered the world prison.

"With the help of the Sky-Gazing Taihao Tower, my true god avatar should soon find an opportunity to break through to the Ancestral God level," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

"As for the supernatural powers obtained in the simulation," Zhou Yu pondered.

Forget about "The Great Thousand Incarnations"; the treasures needed for the cultivation of celestial beings are ridiculously precious, and it's simply unimaginable for true gods to cultivate with them.

Zhou Yu could indeed master the supernatural ability to combine multiple clones into one.

But after thinking about it, he decided to stop cultivating for the time being.

After all, once the clones are combined using this supernatural power, they cannot be separated. In fact, it is not as effective as having many clones that can work together to set up a powerful formation.

Of course, there are also advantages to unification. The divine soul becomes more than ten times stronger, and in terms of enlightenment, it is actually faster than comprehending the Dao with more than ten clones at the same time.

"Let's see. If we don't need many clones to work together to set up the formation later, it won't be too late to cultivate this divine ability." Zhou Yu wasn't too worried about it.

"Besides that, there are the three divine abilities: Dark Star Divine Power, Golden Light Undying Body, and Flying Goose Technique," Zhou Yu pondered.

"Dark Star Divine Power" is a divine power bursting out, and it is considered to be a divine power of the same level as "Ninefold Destruction Divine Power" and "Star Picking Hand". However, the latter two only reach the level of true god at most, while "Dark Star Divine Power" is a method with the level of world god.

"Moreover, the Dark Star Divine Power has relatively low requirements for external objects. I can cultivate it to the level of Ancestral God in the Three Realms." Zhou Yu understood that once he became an Ancestral God, he would be able to cultivate this divine power.

“The Golden Light Indestructible Body is a protective divine power, and the Flying Goose Technique is a divine power of escape that reaches the limit of the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, they are both methods that do not have high requirements for external objects. I can definitely master them.” Zhou Yu sighed inwardly.

Once he mastered these two great supernatural powers, he would immediately become an extremely troublesome opponent among those of the same level.

His divine body will rival that of Buddha, and his speed will rival that of the Golden Crow Dao Ancestor.

This is only at the level of a true god; if he were to become an ancestral god, it would be even more terrifying.

"I'm just a matter of time before I transform," Zhou Yu thought with great anticipation.

. . .

The situation within the Three Realms was in full swing, and before anyone knew it, three hundred years had passed.

Over the past three hundred years, Zhou Yu has continued to participate in inter-realm wars, but the Boundless Gate has dispatched a Messenger of All Things and several Purple Light Puppets to deal with him, preventing Zhou Yu from carrying out a massacre as he did during the first outbreak.

However, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry. Although he was tied up, Nuwa's camp had other means to win the war.

As long as he wins, he can naturally get some kills too.

On this day, in an inconspicuous cave world in a certain alien universe.

hum!
Suddenly, the Heavenly Dao trembled.

At this moment, many ancestral gods and immortals who had mastered the "Heavenly Dao of Time" in this grotto-heaven world sensed from afar that someone had comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Time.

"Hiss, it's actually the Ancestral God of the Thousand Stars."

"This Thousand Star Ancestral God became an Ancestral God by relying on the Heavenly Dao of Space, and now he has actually comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Time? It's simply defying the heavens."

"."

Many ancestral gods and immortals were extremely surprised.

The Thousand Star Ancestral God is arguably the most terrifying existence of this era. His divine body was as strong as that of an Ancestral God when he was a True God, and now that he has become an Ancestral God, he is naturally even more incredible.

That's fine, but the other party's performance in terms of enlightenment is mediocre.

But at this moment, he actually comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Time and the Heavenly Dao of Space at the same time, which in one fell swoop surpassed countless ancestral gods and immortals.

How could someone with such an extraordinary divine body also have such astonishing enlightenment?
At this moment, in a cultivation cave near the Temple of Destruction, the "Thousand Star Ancestral God," dressed in black, which was the clone Zhou Yu obtained after this simulation, was sitting cross-legged.

This clone possesses a divine body and soul comparable to a world god, and its speed of enlightenment is simply incredible.

With such a divine soul and his talent, he was able to comprehend the Dao of Time at such a rapid pace.

Once the two Heavenly Daos were formed, countless insights about time and space immediately flooded his mind.

"Indeed, mastering the opposing Heavenly Dao mainly involves a rapid advancement in one's understanding of certain primordial forces," Zhou Yu realized.

Even if people like the Three Pure Ones and Tathagata Buddha leave the Three Realms, they will still be leaders.

Clearly, they relied not on the power of Heaven, but on the power of the primordial force.

After mastering the Heavenly Dao of Time and the Heavenly Dao of Space, Zhou Yu's power of time and power of space naturally reached the fifth level, and he rapidly comprehended a great deal of the mysteries of the combination of time and space.

At this moment, by combining time and space, Zhou Yu's realm was already equivalent to that of a leader within the Three Realms, even surpassing his understanding of time and space. After all, Zhou Yu's understanding of time and space alone was inferior to that of the leaders within the Three Realms.

"First combine, then integrate. With time and space as a reference, I believe I will soon be able to make further progress in time and space." Zhou Yu naturally understood this.

While Zhou Yu was thinking, inside the Temple of Destruction, a phantom was also watching him.

"Judging by the time, there are less than ten thousand years left. My master will probably be here soon. Although no world god or chaos immortal was born in this era, the breakthrough of the Thousand Star Ancestral God at this time means I can say that I have done my duty." The phantom sighed inwardly.

There are countless such grotto-heavens called "celestial realms" within the ancient domain.

In each chaotic era, a large number of ancestral gods, ancestral immortals, and even world gods and chaotic immortals will be born from these grotto-heavens, and then sent to spaces outside the ancient domain.

Among these cultivators, a very small number of lucky ones will be absorbed into the "Destruction Divine Court".

The Court of Destruction is a terrifying entity that has unified the entire universe; joining the Court of Destruction represents a meteoric rise to power.

Unfortunately, no Ancestral God or Ancestral Immortal in this era had any hope of entering the God of Destruction. Even a Thousand Star Ancestral God who was comparable to a newly promoted World God might not have the chance. No matter how strong his divine body was, his comprehension level was too low. Ordinary forces might be eager for such a genius, but the God of Destruction might not.

But now, the opponent has comprehended the two opposing Heavenly Daos. Although his level of comprehension is not particularly high, it is not a hindrance. In addition, his divine body is really powerful, so there is still some hope for him to enter the God of Destruction.

The appearance of such an ancestral god would surely please his master...
