Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 89 Simulated Changes

Near a cold star in the chaos beyond the Three Realms.

A ripple followed.

Swish!
Ji Ning appeared here.

This was Ji Ning's clone who had once gone to Moonlit Pool. He didn't spend too much time passing through Moonlit Pool, but afterwards he arrived in another space left by the Northern Rest World God. In order to refine the eternal divine weapon "Purple Light Jade", he insisted on staying until now before leaving.

At this moment, the memories of Ji Ning's two avatars, one inside and one outside the Three Realms, also intertwined.

Both different memories surprised Ji Ning.

The extraordinary opportunity gained at Moonlit Pool has already passed, but the great calamity in the Three Realms has already ended.
"This ordeal was truly perilous," Ji Ning said, still feeling a lingering fear.

The legendary Lord of Inner Demons of the Wujian Sect, the Primordial Elder of the Chaos Alien Race who enslaved numerous True Gods and Dao Ancestors.
If even the slightest mistake is made, the entire Three Realms will likely be doomed.

"Fortunately, Master and Grandmaster Youcang strategized and turned the tide."

Ji Ning sighed, saying that from his perspective, the reason why there weren't too many casualties in this great calamity of the Three Realms was that his master and the Cangzu God deserved more than 90% of the credit.

"Let's go back to the Three Realms first."

Ji Ning didn't think too much about it; after all, it was all in the past.

Wow!
With a single step, Ji Ning vanished from that spot.

. . .

At this time, the Three Realms had completely returned to peace. After the Old Man of Origin was destroyed, Zhou Yu and many Dao Ancestors rebuilt the Six Paths of Reincarnation, restoring the order of the Three Realms to its former state.

Deep within the three realms of time and space.

A vast and expansive world was opened up.

Because no one knew that "Qianyu Daozu" and "Youcang Zushen" were actually the same person, the two nominally master and disciple were naturally classified as one lineage by the immortals, gods and demons of the Three Realms. Zhou Yu simply designated his lineage as the "Cangqian Lineage".

Cang represents time, and Qian represents space, which aligns with his path of cultivation.

At the same time, Zhou Yu also asked the Dao Ancestors in the Three Realms for help to create a great world in the depths of time and space, which was named "Cangqian Great World".

Zhou Yu transferred a group of mortals from the Three Realms into this great world, and also brought some members of the Zhou clan from the Crimson Bright Realm here to let them multiply. Zhou Yu also moved the Black and White Academy here.
This vast world of Cangqian became the training ground for Zhou Yu's true form and Youcang's avatar.

At this moment, in the vast world of Cangqian, on the highest and most majestic mountain.

Bodhi Patriarch and Zhou Yu's Cang Avatar sat here. Bodhi Patriarch looked down at the entire Great World and was filled with emotion.

“You Cang, your progress in time and space is much faster than mine,” said Patriarch Bodhi.

"I had clear guidance, which allowed me to quickly advance further after breaking through the fifth level," Zhou Yu said.
“But I also feel that it will be difficult to go further. Moreover, Bodhi, you have been comprehending the Dao of Time and Space for more than a Chaos Era, and your accumulation is profound. Now that you are discussing the Dao with me, I believe you will soon be able to take another step forward.”

Previously, Zhou Yu's realm was inferior to that of Patriarch Bodhi, yet Patriarch Bodhi was willing to explore the Dao of Time and Space with him. Now, although he has surpassed Patriarch Bodhi, he is still willing to study with Patriarch Bodhi.

“You seem to have faith in me.” Patriarch Bodhi shook his head.

"Haha, I also left the Three Realms once, and I know some things, so I'll tell you about them, Bodhi," Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"We comprehend a certain primordial power to condense the Dao Seed. Once we reach this stage, we can sense the origin of endless chaos and truly begin to comprehend the origin."

"Logically speaking, we all improved rapidly before when we didn't have a clear direction, but now that we've been constantly comprehending that vast origin, why haven't we made much progress over such a long period of time?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi's face also showed a serious expression, and he listened intently.

At this moment, Zhou Yu said again:

"If one could fully grasp that vast origin, one would reach an unbelievable level. However, in reality, what we can directly comprehend is merely a tiny bit of the surface of this vast origin. We cannot comprehend its true core mysteries. But even this tiny bit of foundation is not easily understood. If one could master all the foundations, that would be the perfection of the World Realm."

"The World Realm is at its peak?" Bodhi Patriarch exclaimed in surprise. "Even the Goddess Nuwa only entered this realm at the beginning. I wonder if she has reached its peak now."

"With Nuwa's talent, and her adventures outside the Three Realms, she must have already reached the Perfect World Realm," Zhou Yu said, then added:

“Bodhi, you have spent a long time in the past comprehending the mysteries, but because no one guided you, all you comprehended were scattered basic mysteries. These basics were not systematic, so your strength naturally did not improve. But in reality, you have been moving towards the perfection of the World Realm.”

"So that's how it is," exclaimed Patriarch Bodhi.

He had only vaguely comprehended the truth before, but after Zhou Yu's explanation, he understood his goal in cultivation.

“But most world gods and chaos immortals can’t reach perfection, let alone Bodhi, who is only trying to comprehend it with a true god-level divine soul. No matter how long you study, it will be difficult to fully understand all the fundamental mysteries,” Zhou Yu said.
"There must be guidance, knowing how to advance to higher levels of the power of spacetime, so as to become a World Realm or a Chaos Immortal, and only then can one hope to comprehend the entire foundation of spacetime!"

"At a higher level, the power of spacetime can also lead to becoming a world god or a chaos immortal?" Bodhi Patriarch exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s true. Any primal power can reach the sixth level, and can break through using it.” Zhou Yu nodded, adding:

"However, this step is incredibly difficult. Without guidance, breaking through is far more difficult than comprehending the Chaos Heavenly Dao. Even the guidance of the power of spacetime is hard to obtain; one must have a great opportunity to have any hope."

The Time-Space Technique is indeed precious. The fifth-level technique alone is enough to make the peak Ancestral God, the Source Elder, extremely covetous. In fact, in his eyes, its value is almost comparable to the World Heart of the Three Realms, not to mention the sixth-level technique.

Even Zhou Yu's thousand star clones in the "Immortal Realm" of another universe have never seen a spacetime technique of a very high level.

He also relied on comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Time and the Heavenly Dao of Space to first comprehend the combination of these two Daos to an extremely high degree, and then his power of time and space advanced further, surpassing that of Patriarch Bodhi.

As for going any further, it would be groping in the dark.

However, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry. Although he was groping his way forward in the dark, he was laying the foundation for the future. Not to mention, he might be able to find his own way forward.

To attain enlightenment, one must eventually grope one's way forward in the dark.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Perfect World Realm, one can no longer comprehend the origin of the chaotic universe, and will still have to forge one's own path.

Zhou Yu finally stopped talking after a long time.

“You Cang, after hearing your words, I have a much clearer understanding of the path of cultivation.”

Patriarch Bodhi was quite grateful. Although Zhou Yu did not directly explain any mysteries, this understanding of the path was even more crucial.

"I only told you what I knew," Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"Bodhi, I currently possess three major spacetime techniques: 'Ephemeral Shadow,' 'Domain of Spacetime,' and 'Extinction of Spacetime.' I also have a fourth technique in mind, which involves complex spacetime transformations. Bodhi, could you help me devise one?"

"Oh? Do you have any ideas?" Bodhi asked.

“There are some, but before that, take a look at my three major techniques.” Zhou Yu said, pointing with his finger to demonstrate.

Bodhi looked intently at the sight, and soon he felt admiration for it.

"Wonderful! The use of the power of space and time is indeed exquisite! No wonder You Cang can travel through space and time much faster than me." As he watched, Patriarch Bodhi gradually understood.

While possessing the same fundamental mysteries of spacetime power, Zhou Yu wielded them with greater finesse, allowing him to traverse spacetime more quickly than Zhou Yu.

. . .

At the same time, on the other side of the Cangqian Great World.

Zhou Yu's true form was in a cave, where he also inspected all the treasures he had obtained from the Three Realms War.

Unfortunately, there weren't any treasures that exceeded his expectations. "Let's just simulate it," Zhou Yu quickly decided.

[Start simulation? 】

"Yes!"

Zhou Yu chose "yes" as usual.

However, at this time, information that had never appeared before emerged.

This is the ninth simulation. Starting with this simulation, you will carry memories from a period of time after the time travel.

"Ok?"

Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback.

"Memories from a period after the time travel?" Zhou Yu quickly understood.

Previous simulations only started with him before he traveled to the Desolate Era world, but from this time onwards, he will carry memories of a period after his travels at the beginning of each simulation.

"This will greatly increase my success rate in simulations," Zhou Yu thought with delight.

In fact, since the first few simulations, he felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to succeed in the simulations. After all, the simulation goals were getting higher and higher, and it was impossible to achieve those goals with just one talent.

For example, in the last simulation, if he hadn't chosen the talent of "born extraordinary" and hadn't had extremely good luck at the start, he would most likely have failed in the end. Under normal circumstances, the chances of a mortal becoming an ancestral god are too low.

If he could start the game with some of his memories from the time travel period, that would be different.
[Extracting the simulated world.]

[Extraction successful, target world, Devouring Star World! ]

"Oh? Perfect, let's see what it's like to simulate this world with certain memories in my body," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

[Extracting initial talent——]

[The extraction was successful. Please choose from the following three talents.]

【I. Super Thinking – Your thinking speed is naturally superior to that of other life forms at the same level】

[II. Combat Genius - You are more likely to improve during combat]

[III. New Talent - At birth, you gain a brand new path talent]

...

"Talent one is average. Talent two has appeared before, but the simulation failed. Talent three is a talent that exists outside of time, space, and array formations?"

Zhou Yu looked at the three talents and frowned in thought.

If he can succeed with Talent 3, it's not unacceptable, but to what extent can the newly acquired talent reach? Can we help him simulate it successfully?

“If I carry the memories from after the transmigration, the effect of this third talent will be even smaller.” Zhou Yu quickly ruled out the third talent.

As for Talent One and Talent Two...

"Let's try Talent One." Zhou Yu made his decision.

Please select one of the following simulation targets.

[First, break through to become a Cosmic Venerable—upon completion, you will gain a Cosmic Venerable clone and the talent 'Super Mind' with 50% of its effect.]

[Second, break through to become a Universe Master—upon completion, you will obtain a Universe Master avatar and the complete talent "Super Mindset".]

[Third, break through to become a Void True God—upon completion, create a Void True God clone and gain the talent 'Super Mind' with 300% effect.]

"As expected, the requirements for this simulation are outrageous; the lowest level is actually a Universe Venerable." Zhou Yu sighed as he looked at the three options.

"To become the master of the universe."

Zhou Yu thought about it and then made his choice.

The talent he chose this time was indeed a bit mediocre. If it weren't for the fact that this simulation would include his memories from a period after his transmigration, Zhou Yu would have chosen Target One directly.

. . .

[You, who have transmigrated to the world of the Desolate Era three million years in the future, are deeply immersed in cultivation within the Black and White Academy when suddenly everything goes black.]

After a series of inexplicable shifts in your consciousness, you finally regained consciousness and found yourself as an infant.

You are utterly shocked, but you have no choice but to accept the fact that you have traveled through time again.

[You will soon realize that you have probably left the world of the Desolate Era. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Great Dao of Formations that you have been studying for many years have completely lost their effectiveness here.]

You discover that your thinking speed is astonishingly fast. Even as an infant, you are comparable to when you first became a primordial being. You quickly learn the local language and begin to understand the new world.

You discover that this is a technologically advanced society with a highly developed internet, which has become your primary channel for understanding the outside world.

You soon learn that you have transmigrated to an interstellar nation called the 'Starlight Human Universe Kingdom'. Of course, you are just an insignificant member of the Starlight Universe Kingdom, and your parents are just ordinary citizens.

[You soon discover that this world also possesses extraordinary powers, with cultivation levels such as planetary, stellar, and cosmic, making you realize that you have transmigrated to the Swallowed Star world. However, you also quickly notice something amiss: there is no virtual universe here, nor are there the five major peak forces, making it vastly different from the Swallowed Star world you remember.]

You suspect you may have traveled to a time before the rise of humankind in the universe, but you haven't given it much thought.

At the age of 6, you finally began learning martial arts under your parents' arrangement. You have cultivation memories from three million years in another world, and as soon as you come into contact with the cultivation manual, you immediately begin to make rapid progress.

[At this point, you choose: 1. Showcase your talent. 2. Conceal your true self.]

"Show or hide?" Zhou Yu pondered.

At this point, he was certain that his simulation was wrong; he had not traveled to the time period when humanity rose to power in the primitive universe.

After all, he already had an avatar in the Devouring Star World, so he naturally knew that before the rise of the human race he was in, there was no so-called "Starlight Human Universe Kingdom".

"They are either humans from previous reincarnation eras or humans from other primordial universes in the cosmic seas," Zhou Yu understood.

In the primordial universe, each great destruction marked the beginning of a new era.

Humans are born in almost every cycle of reincarnation, but their strength varies, and some even fail to develop at all.

There wasn't just one primordial universe.

Humanity could potentially emerge in any of the three thousand primordial universes.
"Since we don't know the situation, let's keep a low profile for now." After thinking it over, Zhou Yu decided to hide his talent for the time being.

The key is that this simulation contains his memories from three million years after his time travel, as well as the talent of 'super thinking'. Even if he doesn't get any resources in the early stages, he will definitely be able to grow, so there's no need to rush.

P.S.: I'm having some writer's block, that's all for today. I'll add more tomorrow if needed.

In addition, let me mention the outline for the future: I plan to finish writing the Swallowed Star storyline that I started writing halfway through last time, then write the "Cang Yuan Tu" storyline that I haven't touched since the simulation, then write the "Snow Eagle Lord" storyline in detail, and after that, I will either write a new world or continue writing the sequel storyline of the "Desolate Era" world.
