Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 467 Lord of Water Song

(Before reading this chapter, does any reader remember who the Lord of Water Songs is?)

The figure flickered continuously in the void.

After about five minutes, Yang Wu finally arrived at a twisted fragment of a spaceship flying at high speed. This was the gathering place of the strong members of the human race in the spaceship area.

This fragment was extremely close to the massive vortex of wind, and even the slightest gust of wind that escaped from it filled the fragment with howling gales.

"Lord of Time!" A figure appeared out of thin air in the distance, and then walked over. It was the Lord of Darkness who had been waiting here.

"Lord of Darkness!" Yang Wu looked at the other party and said in the same way.

"I heard from the Lord of Dragons a few days ago that you were coming here, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!" The Lord of Darkness said with a smile, "How is it, is everything going smoothly?"

The Lord of Darkness was quite pleased to see Yang Wu appear within the range of the spaceship.

Yang Wu's appearance meant that he would have a reliable helper for the foreseeable future. Although he couldn't reveal his human identity, he could still seek Yang Wu's help in case of danger.

After all, in the cosmic sea, powerful figures from different forces will join forces under certain special circumstances.

"It went relatively smoothly!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "I traveled all the way from the Peak Realm, and although I encountered several Universe Lords along the way, there were no conflicts. On the contrary, I made the acquaintance of several powerful individuals!"

In the vast universe, conflicts between powerful individuals mostly occur when they encounter rare opportunities or supreme treasures. In ordinary times, aside from a few inherently mad powerful individuals, most powerful individuals remain amicable when they meet.

Yang Wu himself possesses such astonishing strength that, in the absence of conflicts of interest, he is even less likely to clash with other powerful individuals.

"That's true!" The Lord of Darkness looked at Yang Wu and said with a smile, "With your current strength, even I might not be your match. As long as you don't encounter the strongest beings in the universe, you really won't have any trouble!"

In fact, the Lord of Darkness possesses the strength of a fifth-tier Universe Lord, which would place him among the top five even among the human race. Moreover, because he has concealed his identity as a member of the human race and has been venturing alone in the cosmic sea, he carries many precious treasures with him.

There aren't many supreme treasures at the level of peak domains, palaces, and souls among the human race. So even the main battle avatar of the Chaos City Lord didn't have them all; he only selected one or two that best suited him.

However, the Dark Lord's main battle avatar was equipped with a complete set of top-tier treasures, so when he was adventuring in the cosmic sea, the Dark Lord's ability to survive was also extremely amazing.

However, the Lord of Darkness was also well aware that if he were to encounter the Lord of Time in the Purple Moon Holy Land, even if he could save his life with the help of a supreme palace-type treasure, he would not be able to do so as easily as Yang Wu.

Upon hearing these words, Yang Wu secretly smiled bitterly to himself.

As the saying goes, "only family knows family matters." The reason he possesses such astonishing strength is largely due to the two precious treasures, the Upside-Down Blood Spear and the Eight Treasures Exquisite Armor. As for the combat power of his other clones, even with the Dark Gold Soul-Devouring Spear obtained from the Ancestral God Sect, they are only fourth-order Universe Lords.

Of course, this situation is only temporary.

"Once I reach the location of that black-patterned stone pillar, with the acceleration of time, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can create the strongest secret technique for the fusion of the universe's masters!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Yang Wu and the Lord of Darkness communicated telepathically as they traveled, and soon arrived at a huge canyon with a white domed temple.

"Because the strongest of the Giant Axe is currently roaming within the Peak Realm, I am the only strong person of my human race within the scope of the Cosmic Ship. As for the members of the Hong Alliance, there are two Cosmic Lords here, namely Lord Yan Ying and Lord Zhen Ma."

The Lord of Darkness calmly stated, "However, they are currently exploring inside the spaceship and cannot arrive in time!"

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded and said, "I came to this spaceship to temper my will at the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar. Whether I see them or not is a minor matter!"

Besides its function of accelerating time, the area of ​​black-patterned stone pillars also constantly emits endless shocks of will. The closer one gets to the core area, the more terrifying the shocks of will become. It is indeed a good place to temper one's will.

Moreover, the closer to the core area, the more exaggerated the proportion of time flow becomes.

Yang Wu wants to refresh the simulation count of the time simulator with a higher time flow rate, which naturally requires him to constantly hone his will.

"Lord of Time, you plan to temper your will at the Tower of Trials?" A hint of surprise flashed across the Dark Lord's face, then he slowly nodded and said, "That's a good choice!"

For the Lord of Darkness, if Yang Wu had any shortcomings, it would undoubtedly be his own will.

The three universe lords of the human race all possess wills comparable to the strongest beings in the universe. Furthermore, there are some universe lords in the cosmic sea who have experienced countless years and have already raised their wills to the limit of the strongest beings in the universe.

Although Yang Wu's cultivation speed was incredibly fast, the time he had spent cultivating was still too short, and naturally, he could not compare with other strong individuals in terms of willpower.

"I realized my shortcomings, which is why I wanted to find a suitable place to improve!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

He naturally wouldn't say that going to the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar area was to speed up the refresh of simulation counts; as for tempering his will, that was just a side effect.

After all, with the existence of the time simulator, it was quite easy for him to improve his willpower.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Darkness nodded happily and then said, "Lord of Time, the Lord of the Swallow Eagles within the Hong Alliance is currently wandering near that black-patterned stone pillar. You might have the chance to meet him!"

"However, the powerful alien beings within the Hong Alliance are ultimately just aliens; they might secretly make deals with other forces, so you can't completely trust them!"

Yang Wu nodded.

Even powerful beings of the same race as the Yan Emperor might betray their own, let alone powerful beings from other races within the same alliance.

It's perfectly normal for powerful alien races to sell information about human groups in exchange for benefits when they are tempted by other forces.

This is also the way of survival for those weaker groups. As long as the human race does not suffer too much loss, they will naturally not investigate it further!

"Of course, the area around the black-patterned stone pillars is quite safe. The only ones you need to be wary of are those three strongest beings in the universe! Among them, the one most worthy of attention is the rampaging demon god from the Second Universe's Reincarnation Era..."

After learning that Yang Wu planned to go to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area to temper his will, the Lord of Darkness began to explain to Yang Wu in detail some things that needed to be noted there.

"Lord of Time, I'll take my leave now!"

After giving Yang Wu a detailed explanation of the various situations inside the spaceship, the Lord of Darkness prepared to take his leave.

"Thank you, Lord of Darkness!" Yang Wu said with great gratitude.

The Lord of Darkness's introduction did indeed give him a lot of insight into the situation inside the spaceship.

After the Lord of Darkness left, Yang Wu only rested briefly before disappearing in an instant.

Yang Wu used teleportation repeatedly, taking more than ten minutes to finally reach the extremely damaged surface of the spaceship.

"According to the map of my human race, I need to pass through nearly a thousand dangerous areas to reach the Black-veined Pillars region!"

"There are no spatial wormholes inside the spaceship. While some safe areas can be traversed by teleportation, dangerous areas can only be reached by flight. Reaching the Black-Patterned Stone Pillars region would likely take hundreds of years!"

Yang Wu secretly made plans in his heart. At this moment, he was already extremely nostalgic for the days when he was teleported through the divine kingdom in the primordial universe.

After all, a journey of several hundred years is indeed quite long for Yang Wu, who has only experienced tens of thousands of years.

Fortunately, he also has other clones, so he can still cultivate in peace while traveling.

Let's go!

With a thought, Yang Wu directly entered the huge crevice on the surface of the spaceship and began to move towards his destination!

……

The Black-Patterned Stone Pillar Space is one of the safest areas within the entire inner domain of the Cosmic Ship.

The entire space is supported by sixteen black-patterned stone pillars, each thousands of light-years tall. Except for the area near the black-patterned stone pillars, where the space is completely frozen and teleportation is impossible, the other areas are quite safe and can be traveled by teleportation.

These sixteen stone pillars, each thousands of light-years tall, are covered with extremely profound black runes, so advanced that even the strongest beings in the universe cannot fully comprehend them!

Each black-patterned stone pillar possesses immense power, constantly radiating terrifying force. Even the strongest beings in the universe cannot reach the black-patterned stone pillars.

Safe, capable of teleportation, with a fast time flow, and possesses highly sophisticated secret runes...

The combination of these factors has made the area around the Black Pattern Stone Pillars a place where many powerful individuals who ventured deep into the spaceship rested and cultivated.

The fog was thick and seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.

hum!

A black-haired youth clad in dark gold armor appeared out of thin air within the area of ​​the black-patterned stone pillars; it was none other than Yang Wu, who had spent hundreds of years traveling.

"Hmm?" Yang Wu's heart skipped a beat: "I can't teleport anymore!"

"Haha, after more than four hundred years, I have finally arrived at this space of black-patterned stone pillars!" Yang Wu looked at the sixteen towering stone pillars in front of him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During the more than four hundred years of travel, Yang Wu naturally encountered many things inside the spaceship.

With Yang Wu's current strength, he wouldn't need to be too afraid even if he encountered the strongest being in the universe.

However, the space inside the spaceship was simply too vast, and there were countless dangerous places along the way. It also required passing through some strongholds of other forces in the cosmic sea.

Even though Yang Wu was extremely careful about all the dangers he might encounter, he still faced several crises.

Among them are experiences of being hunted by strange monsters with the strength of the strongest beings in the universe for several years, and finally managing to escape the predicament by relying on amazing defense and powerful reserves of divine power;

There were also instances where Yang Wu's Tingni clone mistakenly entered extremely cold and desolate places unmarked on maps controlled by human races, only to be swept into a strange vortex. If it weren't for the presence of the Heavenly Vault Palace, a supreme palace-type treasure, Yang Wu's Tingni clone would likely have perished. Even so, it took Yang Wu several decades to escape from that strange vortex!

On another occasion, Yang Wu even encountered the strongest being in the universe during the first cycle of reincarnation. Upon seeing Yang Wu, this rising genius, the other party actually harbored thoughts of killing him and robbing him of his treasure.

Fortunately, the opponent's strength was not much stronger than that of the Lord of Time. After a struggle, seeing that he could not do anything to Yang Wu, he took the initiative to give up.

However, Yang Wu also lost a significant portion of his divine body as a result, and he has not yet fully recovered.

As for the journey ahead, even though Yang Wu was being extremely careful, he would still encounter dangers from time to time.

This finally made him realize why the spaceship was called one of the three forbidden zones.

Even with his current strength, he has almost perished several times, let alone the other universe lords!

However, while the spaceship is fraught with dangers, it also contains some amazing treasures and opportunities.

During his more than four hundred years of travel, Yang Wu also gained a lot.

Among them, the many treasures he obtained alone could be exchanged for hundreds of treasure points among the human race!

Although hundreds of treasure points can only be exchanged for one high-level palace-type treasure at most, this is the harvest of just a few hundred years. Without encountering special opportunities, this speed is already extremely amazing.

If the other universe lords of the human race knew this, they would probably be extremely envious.

Moreover, the many powerful alien races that Yang Wu encountered during his journey, and the sparring and battles he had with them, also greatly benefited him.

What surprised Yang Wu the most was a powerful figure he had encountered hundreds of years ago from the Second Universe Reincarnation Era: the Lord of Water Song!

When Yang Wu met the Lord of Water Song, a top-tier treasure was born, and a great battle naturally broke out between the two.

Yang Wu, who originally thought he could suppress his opponent, was completely suppressed by the Lord of Water Song in the battle, and in the end, his treasure was also taken away by his opponent.

The Lord of Water Song himself did not possess any supreme treasures, so he was also a fifth-order lord. However, in his comprehension of the Dao of Time and Space, he seemed to have reached the limit, even surpassing the Lord of Time who had once fought against Yang Wu.

Moreover, the Lord of Water Song's fighting style was extremely exquisite. During the battle, he unleashed several sets of secret techniques that combined the power of the Lord of the Universe, completely suppressing Yang Wu, whose cultivation level was slightly lower.

Of course, with the Eight Treasures Exquisite Armor, even the Lord of Water Song was powerless against Yang Wu.

Ultimately, after a fierce battle, Yang Wu managed to develop some friendship with the Lord of Water Song.

Yang Wu found the Water Song Lord's astonishing strength somewhat unbelievable, while the Water Song Lord naturally had a great interest in Yang Wu, this super genius who had just caused quite a stir in the Cosmic Sea.

Ultimately, the two spent more than half a year together, learning from and verifying each other's knowledge, which left them both quite satisfied.

During their conversation, Yang Wu learned that the Lord of Water Song was indeed a peerless powerhouse with a tragic fate.

The Lord of Water Song broke through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe in less than a million years of cultivation. Logically speaking, with such amazing talent, he should have a great chance of becoming the strongest in the universe.

Unfortunately, less than a thousand epochs after the Lord of Water Song became the ruler of the universe, the Second Universe Cycle Era came to its final destruction, and the Lord of Water Song lost his hope of becoming the strongest being in the universe.

Even though he has now truly exhausted the limits of the Way of Time and Space, since he has already entrusted himself to the miniature universe of the strongest being in the universe, he naturally cannot transform his divine kingdom into a miniature universe.

Ultimately, Yang Wu also found some information about the Lord of Water Song from his memories of the original work.

The other party was the third peerless genius in the Duan Donghe lineage to reach the second level.

According to what the previous Duan Donghe said, Luo Feng, who had reached the third level, was already no less than him. So the Water Song Master, who had reached the second level, must have the potential to become a Void True God.

Unfortunately, because the Lord of Water Song was born at the time of the universe's destruction, he never had such an opportunity again.

"But anyway, I've finally made it to this space of the black-patterned stone pillar!"

"I'm really looking forward to it! Once I start cultivating here, my strength will increase again, and I can also obtain detailed information about many opportunities and treasures from the simulated experience!"

Thoughts in Yang Wu's mind kept tossing and turning like tides, but his face remained calm, and immediately turned into a stream of light across the void, flying towards a black-patterned stone pillar.
