Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 558 A Crazy Idea (6000 words, to be updated on August 27th)

The virtual universe, a very special plane.

This dimensional space was filled with endless darkness, with only a few points of starlight gathering in the distance. Looking into the distance, one could see a simple temple quietly floating in mid-air.

This is precisely where the highest meeting of many super beings of the human race is held. Only those who have reached the level of the Lord of the Universe can have the authority to enter this dimensional space.

Inside the simple temple hall was a long, bluish-gray stone table, with a row of stone chairs on each side. At this moment, many imposing figures were already seated on the stone chairs.

"The meeting celebrating the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's breakthrough has just ended, and unexpectedly, the Time Lord has summoned us again!"

The Lord of Illusory Gold, with his dazzling golden hair, looked somewhat puzzled: "I wonder what the Lord of Time has summoned us for this time?"

"Yes, could it be that the Lord of Time has encountered some trouble?" said the Lord of Qingdong, who was wearing a blue cloak, with a slightly worried expression.

"Lord of Qingdong, you are overthinking it!"

The Lord of Desolation looked at the Lord of Azure East and said with a smile, "With the current strength of the Lord of Time, how could he possibly encounter any trouble?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cosmic lords all nodded in agreement.

You have to understand, with Yang Wu's current invincible strength in the universe, it's one thing if he doesn't go looking for trouble with other forces, but does anyone dare to provoke the human race?

Not only the Time Lords, but even these people have rarely clashed with powerful figures from other forces while venturing into the cosmic sea recently.

Even if a supreme treasure occasionally appears, as long as it is not an exceptionally rare treasure, other forces will usually give way to it.

"Indeed!" The Ice Peak Lord, carrying a longsword, nodded in agreement. "Last time, I encountered a high-grade treasure in the Peak Realm. There was also a Universe Lord from the Divine Eye Clan nearby, but he didn't even try to compete with me!"

"Hahaha, if even the God-Eye True Lord had to give way before the Lord of Time, then there's no need to mention the cosmic lords of the God-Eye Clan!"

"That's right, all of this is thanks to the Time Lord's deterrent power!"

For a moment, many powerful figures from the surrounding human races sighed in amazement.

It's important to know that over the past thousand years, many of them have experienced things in the cosmic sea that were completely different from what they had experienced before.

Wow!

Just then, a figure clad in dark gold armor suddenly appeared; it was Yang Wu, who had rushed over after sending the message to everyone.

"Lord of Time!"

"Time!"

"Yang Wu, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Yang Wu appear, all the super-strong members of the human race stood up to greet him.

"Gentlemen!"

Yang Wu nodded to everyone, then walked over to sit down next to the strongest axe-wielder, and gestured for everyone else to sit down as well.

The surrounding cosmic lords naturally took their seats at the same time, and all fell silent.

The strongest axe-wielder beside Yang Wu looked directly at him and calmly asked, "Yang Wu, what is the purpose of summoning us all here today?"

Upon hearing the question from the strongest of the giant axe-wielders, many of the super beings of the human race also turned their gazes toward Yang Wu.

Yang Wu looked around, then calmly said, "The main reason I've gathered everyone here is for the purpose of expanding the territory of our human race!"

"Expanding territory?"

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for this day for ages!"

"Excellent! The overall strength of our human race has more than doubled! It's time to let those other races know the power of our human race!"

"I agree! After a thousand years of quiet contemplation, I have perfectly combined my strongest secret technique with the most powerful treasure I borrowed from the treasury. This time, I will definitely let those alien races know my power!"

In an instant, many universe lords of the human race responded to Yang Wu's suggestion, and not a single one objected.

After all, for the current human race to develop at a faster pace, the expansion of territory is indispensable.

With the current strength of the human race, even in the primitive universe, they would probably be comparable to the combined forces of the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race.

After all, with the acquisition of the supreme treasure, there are now quite a few strong individuals among the human race capable of unleashing top-tier sixth-order combat power.

Even a powerful figure like the Lord of Chaos City, who possesses clones, could have three sixth-tier combatants if he had enough supreme treasures.

Does the human race today lack supreme treasures?

Therefore, in terms of high-level combat power, the human race has long held a significant advantage.

But at that moment, the Chaos City Lord standing to the side showed a solemn expression.

"Gentlemen!" The Chaos City Lord looked at everyone and said solemnly, "Even if we are going to expand our territory, we must choose a main direction!"

"I believe we should first conquer the demon race's territory! Among our four dominant races, the demon race currently possesses the largest territory. And the strength of our human race far surpasses that of the demon race; naturally, it's most appropriate to start with the demon race!"

"That's not a good idea! The demon race, after all, possesses two of the strongest beings in the universe, making them quite formidable! In my opinion, we should strike at the machine race first! Although the machine race's father god has the most methods, he doesn't possess a single supreme treasure, making him the weakest among the many strongest beings in the universe among the four peak races! If we have the opportunity to annihilate him, our human race will have no more worries!"

"I've heard that after the Time Lord slew four of the strongest beings in the universe, the Mechanical Father God has already returned to the Primal Universe. It will probably be very difficult to kill him there!"

"Excellent! Killing the strongest being in the universe in the primordial universe is simply impossible! In my opinion, we should attack the Zerg first! For countless ages, many geniuses of our human race have been assassinated by alien races, with the majority falling at the hands of the Zerg! Taking action against the Zerg would also avenge our human race!"

"I don't think this is appropriate! After all, the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race are three of the strongest races in the universe. If they really want to fight to the end with my human race, my human race will probably not fare well either!"

The Lord of the Wilderness looked at everyone and said seriously, "In my opinion, it would be better to seize territory from those powerful and ordinary races. With the current strength of our human race, we can completely annihilate those alien races without any worries! It's not too late to take action against the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race when our overall strength is stronger!"

Immediately, everyone began discussing which faction they should target.

Of course, the debate was not very intense, since with the current strength of the human race, they were confident of victory no matter which side they attacked.

"Gentlemen!" Yang Wu spoke again.

The gazes of many powerful figures in the human race immediately turned to Yang Wu.

"I wonder if anyone has considered completing this territorial expansion in one fell swoop!" Yang Wu said calmly.

"To achieve victory in one decisive battle?"

Many of the super beings in the human race had some doubts.

Luo Feng, however, asked, "Brother Yang, are you planning to attack the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race simultaneously?"

Everyone was slightly startled upon hearing Luo Feng's words.

Although the combat power of the human race's high-level members is now comparable to that of the three demon races combined, they are still somewhat inferior at the level of cosmic venerables and immortal gods.

If we can defeat all three races in one fell swoop, that would be fine. But if we get stuck in a stalemate, then the human race will be plunged into a protracted war of attrition in the future.

Even the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but look at Yang Wu and solemnly said, "Yang Wu, isn't it a bit too strenuous to attack three factions of the demon race at the same time?"

"The three races are not targeting our human race right now, firstly because they are intimidated by your strength, and secondly because our human race has not provoked them!"

"But if we attack all three races at the same time, it might enrage them and cause them to join forces against our human race."

"This would be extremely detrimental to the development of our human race!"

After hearing what the Lord of Chaos City said, Yang Wu couldn't help but shake his head.

"Not just the three demon races!" Yang Wu looked at everyone and said with utmost seriousness, "I plan to simultaneously attack billions of races in the primordial universe, expanding the territory of my human race to its limit in one fell swoop!"

"What?"

"this……"

Upon hearing Yang Wu's words, all the universe lords of the human race were extremely shocked.

They originally thought that at most they would only be attacking the three demon factions at the same time, but they never expected that Yang Wu would have such a crazy idea.

It should be understood that although the four top races hold extremely high positions in the primordial universe and occupy the most core territories, they are far inferior to the billions of races in the primordial universe.

Although there is no force among the billions of races that can rival the human race, quantitative changes can still lead to qualitative changes.

The human race currently has only about twenty universe masters, but in the entire primordial universe, there were more than a thousand universe masters.

"No!"

The first to voice their opposition was the Lord of Chaos City, who had always devoted himself to the cause of humanity.

"Lord of Time!" the Chaos City Lord frowned and said, "Although the strength of our human race has greatly increased, it is still far inferior to the billions of races in the primordial universe!"

"This is, after all, the primordial universe. No matter how strong you are, you can only unleash the peak power of the sixth tier!"

"If we were to simultaneously attack billions of races, and they were to unite against our human race, I fear our human race would struggle to even maintain its current territory!"

"Indeed!" Lord of the Wasteland chimed in, "Lord of Time, even if we were to face three opposing forces from the demon race simultaneously, our human race would still have some control. But if we were to anger billions of races from the primordial universe at the same time, things would truly be troublesome!"

"Yang Wu..." The strongest of the giant axe also looked at Yang Wu.

"Lord of Time..."

With the Chaos City Lord and a few others taking the lead, the other universe lords of the human race also began to persuade Yang Wu.

In their view, Yang Wu's decision was undoubtedly extremely unwise.

Even the Lord of Dragons looked at Yang Wu with a worried expression, fearing that his disciple would insist on his own opinion.

If that's really the case, then there will inevitably be huge divisions within the human race.

"Gentlemen!"

Yang Wu looked at everyone and said seriously, "How could we not know the strength of the billions of races in the primordial universe?"

"If I weren't confident, why would I have made such a suggestion?"

"Throughout my life, have you ever seen me do anything I wasn't confident about?"

For Yang Wu, although he desperately wanted to break through to the level of the strongest in the universe again through immense pressure in the simulation experience, he would never actually let the human race fall into a huge crisis.

The reason he had such a crazy idea was twofold: firstly, he had already accumulated hundreds of simulation experiences, which could be used to further improve his strength; secondly, he had another trump card, which meant that even if he failed to improve his strength, he was confident enough to face the combined forces of billions of races in the primordial universe.

That is why he put forward such a crazy idea at this supreme meeting of the human race.

On the other side, after listening to Yang Wu's words, many super beings of the human race also fell into deep thought.

To be honest, Yang Wu has never done anything without being certain of success.

Whether it was suppressing the Lord of Sirius or fighting against the strongest beings in other universes, Yang Wu seemed to know what was going to happen in advance, and he never suffered a loss!

Even before fighting the Lord of Sirius, they had rented palace-type treasures from the human race's treasury in advance, which enabled them to successfully suppress the Lord of Sirius!

However, Yang Wu's proposal this time was simply too crazy.

Even though he is now the strongest being in the human race and has never made a mistake, many super beings in the human race are still hesitant and find it difficult to make a decision.

"Gentlemen!"

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Yang Wu decided to add fuel to the fire.

"You must understand, our human race has already obtained the inheritance from ancient civilizations! Moreover, the breakthroughs of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master and many of our human race's King-level Immortals are probably impossible to hide from other forces in the universe. They will definitely be able to guess how precious the inheritance our human race possesses!"

"Perhaps because of the strength of our human race in the past, other forces dared not plot against us. But once our human race begins to expand its territory, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of countless forces. At that time, even if we only take action against a portion of these forces, they will certainly contact the others!"

"In that case, we'll still be facing countless forces; the only difference is when!"

After hearing Yang Wu's words, everyone nodded in agreement, but they still had some hesitation in their hearts.

"Since everyone is hesitant, let's vote!" Yang Wu said calmly.

Although he hoped to take this opportunity to break through to the level of the strongest in the universe through the simulation, he could give up this idea if many strong people in the human race opposed it.

After all, there will be many more opportunities in the future, so there is no need to get stuck on this one thing.

Even after Yang Wu initiated the vote, many of the super beings in the human race remained hesitant.

Finally, it was the Lord of Dragons who spoke first: "I believe in my disciple. He has never let our human race down, and I imagine this time will be no exception!"

After saying that, the Lord of Dragons cast a vote in favor.

"I also believe in the Lord of Time!" The Lord of the Wasteland Mirror of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance grinned as well. "Moreover, we now have supreme treasures protecting us. Even if billions of races from the primordial universe joined forces, it would be difficult for them to pose a fatal threat to us! At most, they could only force our human race to lie low for a while!"

"Since the Lord of Time is so confident, then count me in!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

With the Dragon Lord and the Desolate Mirror Lord taking the lead, many other universe lords of the human race also agreed to Yang Wu's suggestion.

After all, what the Lord of the Wasteland said was true; even if the situation was bad, it couldn't be too bad.

Moreover, Yang Wu is now the strongest human being, so his advice is naturally of paramount importance.

"Hahaha……"

Just then, the strongest axe-wielder beside Yang Wu burst into laughter: "Since everyone agrees with Yang Wu's idea, I naturally won't back down, I agree too!"

Ultimately, aside from the Chaos City Lord who opposed Yang Wu's proposal, four Universe Lords abstained, while everyone else agreed with Yang Wu's view.

Voting has ended!

The strongest among the giant axe-wielders said in a low voice, "According to the rules of our human race, the next step is naturally to follow Yang Wu's suggestion and simultaneously attack the billions of races in the primordial universe!"

"However, this matter has far-reaching implications, and we still need to plan carefully! Chaos, what are your thoughts?"

"this……"

Although the Lord of Chaos City voted against it, he quickly responded to the question about the strongest axe-wielder, saying, "Even if our human race were to attack billions of races simultaneously, we must try our best to win over the weaker races!"

"We can even use a simplified version of their legacy as an attraction, along with a promise to never invade their territory. This would surely draw many groups to join us, making future battles much easier!"

After hearing what the Lord of Chaos City said, everyone nodded in agreement.

That is indeed a good suggestion.

But at that moment, Yang Wu spoke up again, saying, "I think that's inappropriate!"

Many universe lords looked at Yang Wu with puzzlement, wondering why he still objected.

Yang Wu then said, "I wonder if anyone has considered that even the alien races within my Hong Alliance have already occupied a significant portion of our territory. If all their territories were added together, they would probably be larger than the territory of our human race!"

"If we promise not to invade the territories of those alien races, in the future, the number of powerful individuals from those races might even exceed the number of humans!"

Yang Wu's concerns are quite valid.

In the original work, during the Jin Dynasty era, the number of universe lords among the human vassal races far exceeded the number of human races.

If Luo Feng hadn't wielded extremely high authority within the Jin world, the human race would likely have found it difficult to continue suppressing the growth of those vassal races.

Now that Yang Wu has this opportunity, he will naturally not make the same mistake again.

Moreover, in order to achieve his planned goals, the more powerful alien enemies he faces, the better, as this will put even more pressure on him.

"That is indeed a problem!"

Seeing Yang Wu oppose his suggestion again, the Chaos City Lord showed no displeasure, but earnestly said, "However, what I worry about most is that our human race will not be able to cope with the combined forces of billions of races!"

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

Yang Wu smiled and said, "I'll naturally find a way to resolve this when the time comes!"

Seeing Yang Wu's confident expression, the Chaos City Lord's worries gradually subsided.

Meanwhile, the other universe lords were all speculating in their hearts about what methods Yang Wu would use to deal with this matter.

"Alright!" The voice of the strongest among the giant axe-wielders rang out again: "Now that Yang Wu is so confident, it's time for our human race to begin expanding our territory!"

"I have another question!" the Lord of Void Gold suddenly spoke up, "Even if my human race were to take action against billions of other races, where should we begin?"

"If we were to slowly sweep across each territory, even if our human race had ten times more powerful warriors, it still wouldn't be enough!"

Upon hearing this, many powerful members of the human race nodded in agreement.

Although there have been continuous breakthroughs in strength among the human race in recent years, even the number of Universe Venerables is only a few thousand.

Even including the many powerful individuals within the vassal clans of the Hong Alliance, their numbers are still extremely small compared to the vast territory of the primordial universe.

Moreover, there were over a thousand Universe Lords in the primordial universe alone. The strength of a Universe Venerable alone was simply insufficient to secure a territory for the human race.

"This is very simple!"

Yang Wu smiled and said, "We can try diplomacy first, then resort to force. We can send envoys to other races in the primordial universe and demand that they cede half of their territory to our human race!"

"Those alien races that do not wish to relinquish their territory will naturally unite and attack our human race!"

"Once we wipe out the strongest among them, it will be much easier for our human race to expand our territory!"

"this……"

The surrounding universe lords could hardly believe their ears when they heard Yang Wu's words.

How could we get billions of races in the primordial universe to voluntarily surrender half of their territory?

This is absolutely outrageous!

Even the Lord of Dragons couldn't help but look at Yang Wu and ask worriedly, "Yang Wu, is this...?"

"Don't worry, teacher!"

Before the Lord of Dragons could finish speaking, Yang Wu said directly, "This disciple is confident!"

"good!"

Seeing this, the strongest among the giant axe-wielders couldn't help but say, "Since the Lord of Time is so confident, then let our human race go all out!"

Following the conclusion of the Supreme Council, the human race quickly dispatched its envoys to the billions of races throughout the universe.

The human race demands that billions of races in the primordial universe voluntarily relinquish half of their territory.

This news was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shocking billions of races in the vast universe.

It's a bit awkward to write (I was thinking of writing a scathing critique before...), but please bear with it. It will flow much better from here on out.

In addition, the issue of the power of the primordial universe's explosion was foreshadowed before; I wonder if anyone remembers it.
