Simulation, the Fallen Genius

Earth time, August 2, 2068.

At this time, the three-year-long Reincarnation Battle in the Ganwu Universe Country had not yet ended. However, after nearly three years of the Reincarnation Battle, Luo Feng and the other two had grown rapidly.

Luo Feng has successfully crossed the threshold of the Origin Law of Space and reached an extremely profound level, even being able to unleash the second level of the Yan Shen Armament.

Under the guidance of Luo, the military lord of Three Axe Mountain, Hong successfully crossed the threshold of the Law of Light. Of course, Hong did not follow Luo to wander the universe, because he had now broken into the top 1,000 in the Ganwu Universe Country, and his treatment was naturally different from that in the original work.

However, out of admiration for Hong, Luo still accepted Hong as a disciple, though not as a direct disciple to inherit his mantle.

As for Thunder God's achievements, they are somewhat inferior.

Having just reached the eighth level of the Domain, he could only barely break into the top 1,000 of the Ganwu Universe Country by relying on his decent combat instincts.

Luo Feng and the other two were making rapid progress, while Yang Wu's progress was relatively slower.

After all, Yang Wu's talent was not as good as Luo Feng's, and comprehending the Law became increasingly difficult as one progressed. Over the course of two years, his comprehension of the Law had not made any remarkable progress; he had only managed to cultivate the second level of the Overlord Spear technique, "Jinghun Stab," to its third form.

To think that he could defeat Bolan in the Genius Battle a year from now is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Earth, in a Quiet Room of Yang Wu's family castle.

Yang Wu sat cross-legged on the bed and quietly started the Time Simulator in his mind.

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

"I hope this simulation will give me a pleasant surprise!" Yang Wu thought to himself, then gave the order, "Yes, sir!"

Yang Wu hopes to make significant progress in this simulation.

As soon as he finished speaking, a line of text appeared on the Simulator panel in front of Yang Wu.

"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 your Sim."

1. Selfish; 2. Courageous; 3. Greedy.

"I choose 'bravery'!" Yang Wu immediately made his choice.

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

[At 36 years old, your physical attributes have reached the ninth level of the Star Level, and you could break through to the Universe Level at any time. However, in preparation for the upcoming Universe Peak Genius Tournament, you have not chosen to break through.]

[Your physical strength has reached 71 times your normal level, and you have reached the ninth level of the Domain. You have also gained a good understanding of the fundamental laws of Origin Law of Fire and Origin Law of Space. Among the countless geniuses in the entire Ganwu Universe Country, you are undoubtedly the number one.]

[In December, the triennial Ganwu Auction opened again, and you purchased many precious treasures at the auction.]

[At 38 years old, the grand finale of the Universe Peerless Genius Battle has finally begun. You and other geniuses, led by a great and Immortal, have been teleported to a vast continent in Virtual Universe.]

[After two years of dedicated training, your physical strength has reached 72 times your normal level, and your understanding of the laws of Law of Fire and Law of Space has deepened considerably.]

[Under the spotlight, over a million geniuses from various Cosmic Nation entered the Trial Tower arranged by the Virtual Universe Company. Six months later, you reached the second level of the Sixth Trial Tower. After slaying over three thousand Nine-headed Python, you were kicked out of the Trial Space, temporarily ranking first among countless geniuses!]

[At 39 years old, after nearly a year of trials, all the geniuses were expelled from the Trial Space. In the end, the Trial Tower points of a peerless genius Bolan far surpassed yours, and you ultimately ranked second in the Trial Tower, successfully securing one of the top 1000 spots in the overall rankings.]

[Your friends Hong and Thunder God did not break into the top 7300 in the entire universe. However, because Hong entered the realm of the Origin Law of Light, he joined the forbidden area of Ganwu Universe Country, the Ganwu Secret Region. Thunder God also joined the Ganwu Universe Country.]

[Your friend Luo Feng's Trial Tower score is second only to yours and that peerless genius Bolan, propelling him to third place in the universe's overall rankings. At this moment, you know that the gap between you two is narrowing.]

[In the ensuing Genius Battle, you won all three matches, successfully becoming one of the five vying for a spot in the Primal Secret Region Realm.]

[After five battles, you were only defeated by the unparalleled genius, Bolan. Finally, with an extra spot in the Primal Secret Region provided by the Virtual Universe Company, you successfully entered the Primal Secret Region.]

[In September, you boarded an F-class spaceship on Laiyin Planet bound for the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters. There were dedicated escorts on board, and they were quite friendly towards you.]

[After becoming Primal Secret Region Member, the Virtual Universe Company assigned you a guard team, whose leader turned out to be a great Immortal being. You were quite surprised by this, and thus decided to cultivate even more diligently.]

[At 42, you have broken through to the first level of the Universe Level, your physical strength has reached 74 times your normal level, and you have gained a deeper understanding of the laws of Law of Fire and Law of Space.]

[You successfully arrived at the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, where you joined nearly a thousand other geniuses. Many of these geniuses didn't seem to fully appreciate your joining the Primal Secret Region Member.]

[You and other geniuses, guided by a great being, successfully arrived at the Holy Land of humanity, in the Initial Universe. Here, you found the most suitable Chaos Stele for yourself and began your comprehension and cultivation.]

[To continue comprehending the Chaos Stele, you must cross the Heavenly Bridge. After Bolan crossed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, you, your old rival Rong Jun, and your friend Luo Feng simultaneously crossed the first Heavenly Bridge.]

[You are still far from having the strength to pass the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, so you chose a place quite suitable for your cultivation and began to cultivate in peace. With the teacher assigned to you by the Virtual Universe Company, your progress is rapid, but your teacher is not satisfied. In his eyes, your talent is far inferior to that peerless genius, and even not as good as some geniuses in the Taichu Region.]

[At 46, your power has reached 75 times your normal level, and your understanding of the Law has also made astonishing progress.]

[Your old rival Rong Jun actually passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, so you also tried to pass it, but unfortunately failed! However, your mindset remains calm, and you continue to cultivate diligently.]

[At 52 years old, your physical strength has reached 77 times your normal level, and your understanding of the Law has improved remarkably. You have now been in the Initial Universe for ten years.]

[In these ten years, besides that peerless genius and Rong Jun, six other geniuses have passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge. Although you also passed the second level, you were slower than the others. Many geniuses feel that you have wasted your spot in the Primal Secret Region Realm.]

[Your friend Luo Feng suddenly made it across the second and third levels of the Heavenly Bridge in a single day, a feat that greatly surprised you. So you tried to Heavenly Bridge the third level, but unfortunately, you failed, falling far short.]

[You've decided to go outside Chaos City to hunt Chaos Beast in order to improve your Law Comprehension.]

[At 53 years old, through continuous hunting of Chaos Beast and absorbing Chaos True Spirit, your understanding of the Origin of Laws has become clearer.]

[At 72 years old, your physical strength has reached eighty times your normal level, and your body has also evolved to the second tier of the Universe Level.]

[This year was also your last year in the Initial Universe. Before leaving, you attempted to cross the Heavenly Bridge, and finally, with great difficulty, you made it through. Meanwhile, your friend Luo Feng had already crossed the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge.]

[At 74 years old, with the help of the Nutrient Pod provided by the Virtual Universe Company, your body has evolved to the ninth level of the Universe Level. At this point, you are capable of breaking through to the Domain Lord Level, but in order to accept the mission assigned by the Virtual Universe Company, you did not choose to break through.]

[At 75 years old, after other geniuses went off to complete their missions, you chose a Difficult Level one, and tragically perished during the mission!]

"This..."

Looking at his experience in the Simulator, Yang Wu felt quite helpless.

"Sure enough, after successfully joining the Primal Secret Region, my talent is no longer enough to match my status!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"When I was weak, my progress was astonishing. Even without the help of Simulator, I could constantly surpass the geniuses in the Ganwu Universe Country. But looking at my two most recent simulation experiences, my talent, placed among all the geniuses of this generation, is probably at the bottom of the Taichu Secret Realm and among the top of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm."

"Even if I spent thirty years in the Initial Universe, I would only have just passed the third level of the Heavenly Bridge. And my initial foundation was actually higher than theirs. If my initial foundation had been the same as theirs, I probably wouldn't have been able to pass the third level of the Heavenly Bridge even after thirty years!"

"Over time, they began to be surpassed by the geniuses of the Primordial and Taichu Secret Realm!"

"However, thankfully I have the Time Simulator, which allows me to cultivate for a longer period of time than others, so I'm able to keep up with or even surpass them!"

[Simulation ended. You can choose one of the following rewards.]

[Part 1: Martial arts prowess at age 75.]

[Part Two: Martial Arts Reflections at Age 75.]

[Part Three: Simulated Life Experiences.]

Soon, a reward option appeared on the Simulator.

"I choose reward two!"

Yang Wu chose reward two without any hesitation.

For a long time to come, Yang Wu will probably choose option two, which will likely be the reward.

The moment Yang Wu made his choice, countless insights began to surface in his mind again—some about Force Application Technique, some about combat skills, but most of all, they were insights into the laws of Law.

Countless insights kept surfacing in Yang Wu's mind, then merging with his previous insights, until Yang Wu finally mastered them all.

After digesting and absorbing all his insights, Yang Wu arrived at the Killing Field in the Virtual Universe to test his strength.

With his understanding of the Law of Fire and Law of Space, Yang Wu was able to barely unleash the third level of the Overlord Spear at the Star Level, and the 'Nine Stars Connecting Pearls' technique was about to begin.

This is the first area-of-effect attack move in the Overlord Spear Ninefold Technique. If combined with Yang Wu's own powerful domain, its power is terrifyingly immense.

It is probably already capable of easily suppressing geniuses who have crossed the threshold of the Law.

Thank you to reader Nalan Sha for the 5000 points reward.
