Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 192 Simulation, 'The Shame of Primitive Times'

Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a shuttle; time keeps flowing by.

The F-class spaceship, forged from red copper mother material, continued its journey through the dark universe toward the "Virtual Universe Company's Universe Headquarters," located at the very center of the entire human territory.

After his initial conversation with Ron, Yang Wu stayed alone in an exquisite room, while his consciousness entered the virtual universe to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, it was November 2074, Earth time.

At this time, Yang Wu had been traveling in the dark universe in his spaceship for nearly three years.

However, after countless simulations and continuous breakthroughs in his own skills, Yang Wu no longer values ​​the passage of time as much as he did at the beginning.

In other words, three years was an incredibly short time in Yang Wu's eyes.

Over the past three years, the thousand star-level geniuses recruited by the Virtual Universe Company have all been working hard to cultivate, and with the generous rewards provided by the Virtual Universe Company, their progress has been astonishing.

However, for Yang Wu, his progress over these three years has been quite slow.

Firstly, his talent was not as good as Luo Feng and Bo Lan; secondly, Yang Wu's current foundation was already too high.

Back when he was at the third or fourth level of the domain, three years was enough time for Yang Wu to improve significantly, even without the help of a simulator.

But now, Yang Wu's understanding of the laws of space has already reached the level of the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge. To expect to make some amazing progress in just three years is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Therefore, even though Yang Wu had worked incredibly hard to cultivate over the past three years, his progress was still extremely slow.

Apart from reaching 90 in terms of effort, the progress in other areas was barely noticeable.

After enjoying the rapid progress he had made before, this pace of progress undoubtedly made Yang Wu feel frustrated.

Fortunately, three years have finally passed, and the number of times recorded on the time simulator in Yang Wu's mind has finally been refreshed.

Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room of the spaceship, Yang Wu slowly activated the time simulator in his mind.

"Current simulation attempt: 1. Start The Sims now?"

"Hopefully my guess is right, the emulator really isn't having any problems!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, then gave the order: "Yes!"

Although Yang Wu had some guesses about the sudden end of the last simulation, he was still worried that the simulator might have malfunctioned.

Fortunately, the number of attempts on the simulator was successfully refreshed three years later, which put Yang Wu at ease.

As soon as Yang Wu selected to start the emulator, a line of text immediately appeared on the panel in front of him.

"The characters in The Sims are created by the simulator itself, and their memories differ from those of the host. Please operate with caution."

"Please select the personality of the simulated character."

"1. Selfishness; 2. Inferiority complex; 3. Greed."

"This..." Yang Wu hadn't expected that he would encounter three people with negative personalities.

It's worth noting that even when Yang Wu chose the selfish personality trait before, none of the three negative traits appeared.

"Could this be the punishment for not dying in the last simulation?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

However, while Yang Wu was pondering the mechanics of the simulator, he was also thinking about which personality would be more suitable for him.

Selfish? After that simulation experience, Yang Wu would never choose such a personality again unless he had no other choice.

As for feeling inferior? Yang Wu hesitated for a long time and rejected this option. He didn't want to see himself feeling inferior in the simulator, even if it was just a simulated experience.

Greed?

"A greedy nature shouldn't have too bad an impact, right?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

After a long silence, Yang Wu finally made his choice: "I choose 'greed'!"

After Yang Wu selected his personality, a large amount of text began to appear on the simulator.

[At 42 years old, your physical attributes have reached the ninth level of the Hengxing level, and you are ready to break through to the cosmic level at any time. Your physical strength has also reached 90 times your normal level, and you have gained a profound understanding of the laws of fire and space.]

[The Genius Battle has now ended, and you are about to arrive at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company. After careful consideration, you have chosen to break through to the cosmic level.]

[You successfully broke through to the cosmic level and subsequently arrived at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, where you joined a thousand other geniuses. Many of these geniuses highly recognized your and Bolan's strength and felt that your joining the Primal Secret Realm was only natural.]

[You and other geniuses, guided by a great being, successfully arrived at the sacred land of humanity, in the primordial universe. In the primordial universe, you found the Chaos Stele, perfectly suited to your needs, and began your comprehension and cultivation.]

To continue comprehending the Chaos Stele, one must cross the Bridge to Heaven. After Bolan crossed the second level of the Bridge to Heaven, among the other geniuses, only Rong Jun and Luo Feng crossed the first level.

[When you crossed the Heavenly Bridge, you attracted a lot of attention. You unleashed your full strength and actually passed the fifth level of the bridge in one go! This achievement surprised everyone. After all, even Berlan only passed two levels.]

On the very day you crossed the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven, Berlan crossed three more levels, also passing the fifth level. Unfortunately, he failed to reach the sixth level.

Meanwhile, a great being appears, wishing to take you as a disciple, and you successfully become his apprentice.

After you became his disciple, your teacher greatly admired your approach of analyzing the essence of the fundamental laws of space and believed that you would achieve remarkable success in the future.

Your new teacher holds a very high position and has prepared many favorable conditions for your cultivation. With his help, you have begun to cultivate in peace.

[At 52 years old, your physical strength has reached 91 times your normal level. At this point, you have already been in the initial universe for ten years!]

Over the past ten years, you have relentlessly hunted Chaos Beasts and absorbed Chaos Essence, transforming your soul to its ultimate form. Subsequently, you skillfully utilized five opportunities to study the Chaos Stele, successfully comprehending 20 profound mysteries inherent in the essence of the laws of space.

[Your friend Luo Feng suddenly unleashed his full potential, clearing the second and third levels of the Sky Bridge in a single day. This progress greatly surprised you, so you attempted to clear the sixth level, and you succeeded.]

On the same day you passed the sixth level, Berlan also began his attempt, but he failed! Two months later, Berlan passed the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven and successfully caught up with you.

At 72 years old, your physical strength has reached 92 times your normal level, and your body has also evolved to the second tier of the cosmic level.

This year is also your last year in the initial universe. Twenty years have passed, and you have grasped the 23rd profound mystery of the essence of the laws of space. This progress has puzzled your teacher, who felt that with your talent, you should have made even greater progress.

[At 74 years old, with the help of the nutrient tank provided by the Virtual Universe Company, your body has evolved to the ninth level of the Universe level. You are now capable of breaking through to the Domain Lord level, but you chose not to do so in order to accept the mission assigned by the Virtual Universe Company.]

At 75, after other geniuses have gone off to complete their missions, you too begin your own.

[During the trial missions, you frequently engaged in indiscriminate killing in order to gain more points. Fortunately, you were quite cautious and had the protection of a ninth-tier plant life form and a metal life form at the Domain Lord level, so you managed to escape unscathed.]

[At 172 years old, nearly a century has passed since you left the initial universe, and your physical exertion has reached 94 times your normal strength.]

[In the past century, Rong Jun has passed the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven, successfully catching up with you, while Bo Lan and Luo Feng have even surpassed you, passing the seventh level one after the other. Among the other geniuses of your generation, four have also passed the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven.]

Over the course of a century, your friend Luo Feng recommended a trial mission to you. In that mission, you increased your speed of comprehending the laws of nature by fusing with a magical treasure.

Over the past century, with the help of numerous conditions, you have successfully comprehended the 27 profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of space. However, this year, the once-in-a-century cosmic-level qualification battle is about to begin.

[At this moment, among the five members of the Primordial Secret Realm, one is a peerless genius who has passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and the other three have passed the seventh level. You, however, are only at the sixth level. If the qualification battle begins, you will definitely be relegated to the Primordial Secret Realm.]

The treatment of members of the Primal Realm far surpasses that of members of the Primordial Realm. Unwilling to give it up, you begin to consider ways to remain in the Primal Realm.

After careful consideration, you broke through to the Domain Lord level before the qualification battle began.

Your breakthrough shocked countless geniuses; they had never seen anyone break through before the qualifying battles even began.

However, you successfully remained in the Primal Secret Realm. As for the Domain Lord-level qualification battle, that will be several hundred years later. By then, do you feel you can still break through to the World Lord level?

After the Genius Battle ended, your friend Luo Feng successfully entered the Primal Realm. You, however, were dubbed the "Shame of the Primal Realm" by all the other geniuses in the Primal Realm besides Luo Feng, and were ostracized by everyone.

[At 173 years old, you have become a Primal Secret Realm Domain Lord-level member and have been appointed by the Virtual Universe Corporation as the Inspectorate Envoy of your homeland, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.]

[At 174 years old, your physical attributes have evolved to the ninth level of Domain Lord. You could break through to the World Lord level at any time, but in order to maintain your power within the Qianwu Universe, you have chosen not to do so.]

[That year, you successfully arrived in the Qianwu Universe on your spaceship and were warmly welcomed by the three leaders of the Qianwu branch.]

However, the three major powers have also heard about your ability to remain in the Primal Secret Realm by breaking through to the Domain Lord level. They know that you will inevitably be kicked out of the Primal Secret Realm in a few hundred years, so they don't take you too seriously.

At 192 years old, you have successfully comprehended the 28th profound mystery of the laws of space.

This year, you asked three major companies for help, but they refused, citing the high cost involved.

[Therefore, you began using your power to gather damaging information about the three giants.]

At age 196, you successfully obtained a massive sum of one million Chaos Units from the three major figures using the materials you gathered.

At 206 years old, your power reached 95 times your normal level, and you comprehended the 29th profound mystery of the laws of space.

[That year, you approached three powerful figures, asking for their help to raise two million Chaos Units, but you were refused.]

[Enraged, you decided to make an example of someone. So, through your mentor, you submitted some materials about one of the three top executives to company headquarters, resulting in the executive's immediate dismissal. Meanwhile, the other two top executives helped you raise two million mixed-element units.]

At 207, you perished!

……

How so?

Besides the Nine Tribulations Secret Technique, the Golden Horned Beast also has genes that are more than a hundred times stronger. So, the hundred-fold limit is its own hundred-fold limit?

Wouldn't the Manka aliens be able to increase their power to hundreds of times that of ordinary humans?

Chapter 55 of Part 14: The first calamity is 3 times the normal value, the Golden Horned Beast is 330 times the normal value, and the user's own value is 110 times the normal value.

There is also the 19th article, Chapter 5.
