Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 436 Time Lord

Inside the Temple of the Giant Axe, all the lords of the universe looked on with anticipation.

But at this moment, the Lord of Void Gold suddenly spoke up, saying, "Although Yang Wu has broken through, his current strength is not very strong."

"Moreover, judging from his talent and cultivation speed, the other three top-tier clans probably won't let this go easily, and might even try to kill Yang Wu!"

"right!"

"Xu Jin is right, we must take this matter seriously."

The other universe lords nodded in agreement.

If Yang Wu's breakthrough had not been discovered by the alien race, his identity could have been completely concealed, and he would naturally have been in no danger.

But now that the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf of the Demon Clan has discovered it, the Demon Clan will surely spread this news throughout the universe.

With Yang Wu's cultivation speed so fast, how could those alien races not be wary? Who would dare to let Yang Wu continue to grow stronger?

"There's no need to worry about that!"

The Lord of Dragons, seated to the left of the City Lord of Chaos, calmly stated, "In terms of survival skills, Yang Wu has probably surpassed most of us. Moreover, Yang Wu briefly clashed with the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf before and did not suffer a defeat!"

"Able to contend with the Lord of Sirius?"

Upon hearing this, the other universe lords all looked surprised and suspicious, and all turned their gazes toward Yang Wu.

Although the Lord of Sirius's strength is not among the top of the four peak races, it is still quite good when viewed in the vast universe.

Yang Wu has only just broken through, yet he's already comparable to his opponent?

Of course, Yang Wu has created too many miracles along the way. Although it is difficult to be comparable to the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf right after breaking through, it is still acceptable to everyone if it happens to Yang Wu.

"That's right!" Noticing everyone's gaze, Yang Wu nodded slightly.

Now that he has become the master of the universe, with the help of the time simulator and the Time Palace, his strength can naturally improve rapidly.

Even if we don't talk about upgrading to the fifth tier, the fourth tier should still be no problem.

Therefore, after becoming the master of the universe, with his strength and the allies among the human race, it is already very difficult for him to encounter a fatal threat in the original universe!

"Yang Wu!" The Lord of the Wasteland Mercenary Alliance nodded slightly to Yang Wu, then solemnly said, "I think you should have learned from the virtual universe before that the strength of the Lord of the Universe is basically divided into four levels: 'Entry-level', 'Ordinary', 'Peak', and 'Top'."

"However, within the cosmic sea, there is a more precise division; the strength of all universe lords is basically classified into six tiers!"

"The first stage is the initial stage of the Universe Lord, with a life gene level a hundred times higher, but they haven't created any ultimate secret techniques, and their supreme weapons are just average. Generally speaking, this is the level of strength of a newly broken Universe Lord."

"The second stage involves a life gene level approximately a thousand times higher, resulting in the creation of ultimate secret techniques and a decent treasure. It can be considered at the 'ordinary' level. Most universe lords in the universe are at this level!"

"The third tier can be called the 'peak' level. Most universe lords with this level of strength have obtained heaven-defying treasures, created the strongest secret techniques, or reached a life gene level of about ten thousand times! Meeting one of these conditions allows one to enter the third tier, and if the other aspects are also very close, then the strength will naturally be even greater. Although the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf does not meet these three conditions, his treasures and life gene level are quite good, so he has barely entered the third tier!"

"The fourth tier is the 'top-tier level.' It requires meeting all three conditions mentioned above. For example, your teacher is a super strong individual with fourth-tier combat power!"

"As for the fifth tier, it can be called the pinnacle of the pinnacle! Even within our human race, there are only three: the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Penggong! One needs to create and fuse the strongest secret technique to possess such combat power!"

"And the sixth tier... refers to those heaven-defying universe lords who possess supreme treasures." The Lord of Desolate Mirror shook his head and slowly said, "However, in my primordial universe, even the strongest beings in the universe may not possess supreme treasures. As for the nine super powers of the universe, only five of them possess them. Even my human race has not yet possessed supreme treasures! Therefore, naturally there are no sixth-tier universe lords!"

"alright!"

The strongest being, seated at the head of the table, chuckled and said, "Yang Wu, you'll naturally come to understand the power dynamics among these Universe Lords in the future. But, Yang Wu, what are your plans for your title of Universe Lord?"

"The title of Lord of the Universe?" Yang Wu's heart stirred slightly.

"Yes!" The Chaos City Lord, sitting beside the strongest axe-wielder, nodded in agreement. "Now that you, Yang Wu, have become the Lord of the Universe, you naturally deserve a title!"

"However, your cultivation speed is simply too fast. Previously, the powerful beings of various races in the universe called you the Divine Might King, but now you have indeed become the Lord of the Universe. I'm afraid the powerful beings of all groups in the universe will call you the Lord of Divine Might!"

"However, many powerful beings change their titles after becoming rulers of the universe. If you are not satisfied with the title 'Lord of Divine Might,' you can also change it, and it will naturally spread throughout the universe!"

Yang Wu nodded seriously.

But a title?

Yang Wu pondered silently for a moment, and then he had an idea!

"Time Lord!!"

Yang Wu smiled and said, "From now on, I'll be called the Lord of Time!"

As the most important opportunity in Yang Wu's life, the Time Simulator was something Yang Wu naturally couldn't forget, so he named it Time.

As for the word "Lord," it represents Yang Wu's determination to eventually become the "Lord of Hunyuan."

"The Lord of Time?"

The many cosmic lords present nodded after only a moment's thought.

After all, a title is just a code name. Generally speaking, other strong people rarely organize the title they choose themselves.

Unless the name is really awful or there are some special taboos.

"The Lord of Time? Good!" The strongest among the giant axe-wielders nodded, then looked at Yang Wu again and said seriously, "According to the rules of our humans, every newly appointed master of the universe is entitled to receive a top-tier treasure weapon from their race. Yang Wu, what are your requirements for this treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This is the difference between the top-tier races and some smaller races! You should know that there aren't many places in the universe where you can obtain precious treasures. Even for a universe lord, obtaining a top-tier treasure is not an easy task.

However, within the human race, once you become a master of the universe, you immediately receive a supreme treasure. Even breaking through to the level of a universe venerable grants you a top-tier weapon!

"Yang Wu, just say it." Seeing Yang Wu hesitate, the strongest of the giant axe spoke again.

All the other universe lords also looked at Yang Wu.

"My race has already bestowed upon me a high-grade soul-type treasure, whose value far exceeds that of a top-tier treasure weapon!"

Yang Wu earnestly refused, saying, "Now that I have become the master of the universe, I can no longer accept the gifts bestowed upon me by my race with a clear conscience!"

After his time in the Dulong Clan's secret realm, Yang Wu now possesses quite a few treasures. Furthermore, having defeated Venerable Tianhua, he can now seek out Master Zuoshanke for a second treasure, so he naturally won't be too concerned about the top-tier weapon bestowed upon him by the human race.

Hearing Yang Wu's words, many universe lords felt his sincerity and were filled with emotion.

"There's no need for that!" said the strongest among the giant axe-wielders. "That soul-type treasure was merely a gift from our race for your safety. Others in our human race's history have experienced similar things. As for the top-tier treasure weapon, that's a token of our race's goodwill!"

"yes!"

"Yang Wu, you've just broken through, and you definitely need the clan's help to improve your strength as quickly as possible!"

Other universe lords also offered their advice.

Although that high-level soul treasure was very precious, which of them hadn't received extra gifts from their clan during their growth? Although Yang Wu's treasure was the most precious, that was only because his talent and comprehension were far more terrifying.

Therefore, the many universe lords had no dissatisfaction with Yang Wu at all, and even spoke up to persuade him.

"Alright!" Yang Wu thought for a moment and said, "I've just broken through and don't yet know which treasure is most suitable for me. Why don't we exchange the treasure for treasure points directly? I can then exchange them in the clan's treasury when I need them!"

"Very well." The strongest among the giant axe-wielders nodded and said, "You've just broken through, so you need to cultivate in seclusion for a while. There's no need to rush this!"

"Alright, now that everything has been discussed, the meeting can be adjourned!"

The strongest among the giant axe-wielders smiled and said, "Chaos, now that Yang Wu's becoming the Lord of the Universe has been exposed, we can directly inform the many powerful members of the clan. It's a good opportunity for everyone to be happy!"

"Hmm!" The Chaos City Lord sitting to the side nodded slightly and said.

The emergence of a new ruler of the universe is indeed a joyous occasion for the human race.

However, the Lord of Chaos City could already imagine the shock those cosmic venerables would feel upon learning this news.

……

As the various universe lords departed, Yang Wu, along with the powerful figures from the Virtual Universe Company, returned directly to Thunder Island.

At the summit of Thunder Island, in the temple of the Chaos City Lord, Yang Wu and his companions suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"The Giant Axe Conference is over. Yang Wu, we should take you to meet the founder of my Virtual Universe Company!" the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

"The founder of the virtual universe lineage?" A hint of surprise flashed across Yang Wu's face as he asked, feigning ignorance.

He was naturally extremely curious about the progenitor who led the human race to rise to prominence and became invincible across the universe.

"Let's go see the teacher!" the Lord of Darkness, shrouded in black robes, said just as earnestly.

……

Immediately, Yang Wu and the other six Universe Lords rushed directly into the chaotic air currents that enveloped the summit of Thunder Island, rapidly advancing along a channel formed by endless chaotic air currents.

"Yang Wu, the one we're going to meet this time is the greatest super being in the history of our human race, the Primal Ancestor!"

During the flight, the Lord of Chaos City continuously introduced Yang Wu to everything about the Primordial Ancestor: "It is because of the existence of our teacher that our human race has been able to rise continuously and eventually become one of the top races..."

"He is the first and strongest being in the universe for our human race!"

"Because of him, I, darkness, and ice peaks are who we are today."

As the introductions continued, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, as if he were recalling the scene from back then. Even the other universe lords were all somewhat silent, each of them immersed in their memories of the past.

Soon, Yang Wu and his group of six arrived in a void where the chaotic air currents were extremely scarce. In the distance of the void, there stood an incredibly majestic and mysterious statue.

Around that mysterious statue, there were endless fluctuations of laws.

The fluctuations of numerous fundamental laws—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, time, metal void, wood void, water void…—all surged forth from that mysterious statue!

"Is this the Primordial Ancestor?" Yang Wu looked at the mysterious statue, feeling deeply moved.

He was a slightly thin, middle-aged man wearing a simple white robe and a smile on his face. The entire virtual universe could only function with him at its core.

"Teacher." The Chaos City Lord looked at the mysterious statue and bowed, "My Virtual Universe Company has gained another Universe Lord. He is also the strongest genius that has appeared in the endless ages of our human race. Yang Wu, who has become the Universe Lord in less than 10,000 years of cultivation, is here today to pay his respects to you, Teacher."

"Yang Wu." The Chaos City Lord turned to look at Yang Wu and said earnestly, "This is the greatest being in my human race, the Primal Ancestor! Even the strongest among the Giant Axe users received guidance from a master!"

Yang Wu immediately stepped forward, walked to the side of the Chaos City Lord, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Yang Wu greets the Primordial Ancestor."

The Chaos City Lord and his companions looked at the statues of Yang Wu and the Primordial Ancestor, as if they were witnessing a meeting of two unparalleled geniuses.

After the matter was concluded, the Lord of Chaos City looked at the statue of the Primordial Ancestor and thought to himself, "Disciple, following Master's orders, guarded Chaos City and protected humanity for countless years without slackening. Now, Yang Wu has become the Lord of the Universe, and his cultivation speed has even surpassed yours in the past. I believe he will surely become a new pillar of our human race in the future, and our human race will naturally be able to grow stronger and more prosperous!"

At the same time, the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Ice Peak both bowed slightly and spoke softly, but their voices were completely isolated.

For a moment, the atmosphere around the ancestral statue was very oppressive, and the invisible atmosphere affected Yang Wu and the others.

Until a moment later.

"We disciples take our leave." The Lord of Chaos City bowed slightly, and Yang Wu and the others also bowed in return before flying away together.

The air currents swirled around them until Yang Wu and the others disappeared into the depths of the air currents.

The majestic statue still stands there, just as it has for countless ages.

However, the eyes on the statue subtly moved, glancing in the direction where Yang Wu and the others had disappeared.

Then a faint voice sounded: "Yang Wu? He can become the master of the universe in less than ten thousand years of cultivation?"

"It seems that our human race will become even stronger in the near future. This gives me more peace of mind!"
