A New Simulation
Yang Wu sat cross-legged in the Trial Space, his consciousness returning to a part of reality, and then slowly activated the Time Simulator in his mind.
"Current simulation count: 1. Start The Sims now?"
"Yes!" Yang Wu silently gave the order.
Yang Wu had high expectations for this simulation, because it was his last simulation before the end of the Genius Battle.
Over the years, although Yang Wu has gained more insights from Simulator, he has also been constantly working hard.
At this point, Yang Wu had reached the final step of this Genius Battle.
If you can compete for first place, nobody wants to be second!
As soon as he finished speaking, a line of text appeared on the Simulator panel in front of Yang Wu in reality.
"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. Caution; 2. Courage; 3. Greed."
"I choose 'caution'!" Yang Wu immediately made his choice.
After Yang Wu selected his personality, a large amount of text began to appear on the Simulator.
[At 39 years old, your physical attributes have reached the ninth level of the Star Level, and your physical strength has reached 80 times your normal level. You could break through to the Universe Level at any time, but you are currently participating in the finals of the Universe Peak Genius Tournament, so you have not chosen to break through.]
[After a long trial, only you and your friend Luo Feng remain in the Trial Space.]
[Finally, you reached the seventh floor of the sixth Trial Tower, ranking second in the Trial Tower, the same as the first-place Bolan, far surpassing everyone else. Unfortunately, the gap between you and Bolan still exists!]
[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 defeated the other three (excluding Bolan) with overwhelming superiority, but still lost to Bolan. Ultimately, with the Virtual Universe Company providing an extra spot in the Primal Secret Region Realm, you and Bolan successfully entered the Primal Secret Region.]
[In October, you boarded an F-class spaceship on Laiyin Planet bound for the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters. The ship had dedicated escort personnel who were extremely friendly towards you.]
[At 42, you have broken through to the first level of the Universe Level, your physical strength has reached 81 times your usual level, and your understanding of the Law has also made considerable progress.]
[You successfully arrived at the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, where you joined a thousand other geniuses. Many of these geniuses considered it only natural that you and Bolan became 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. In the Initial 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 Heavenly Bridge. After Bolan crossed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, Rong Jun and Luo Feng also Heavenly Bridge the first level.]
[When you crossed the Heavenly Bridge, you attracted a large crowd. You certainly didn't disappoint, managing to Heavenly Bridge the third level in one go. This achievement surprised everyone, especially since even Bolan, the champion of the Genius Battle, only cleared two levels.]
[On the very day you passed the third level of the Heavenly Bridge, Bolan again crossed two Heavenly Bridge, passing the fourth and surpassing you once more. Yet, despite his astonishing progress, no great being seemed to approve of it!]
After passing the third level of the Heavenly Bridge, you are now qualified to attend classes under other grandmasters. After discussing with your teacher, Jinguang Marquis, you chose a class taught by Peak King Level for your first lesson, and successfully became their disciple after the course concluded!
[After becoming your apprentice, your teacher highly praised your astonishing talent and suggested that you pursue the path of analyzing the Law Essence of the universe. Although this path would be incredibly difficult at first, it would become increasingly faster in the later stages! Ultimately, you agreed to King Rank teacher's suggestion.]
[At the same time, you also learned from your teacher why Bolan hadn't received attention from the powerful: his path of enlightenment had gone astray!]
[On your teacher's advice, you used your points to purchase several secret techniques perfectly suited for analyzing the Law Essence, and then began your focused cultivation in Chaos City.]
[At 46, you've spent four years cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City, using your far superior Law Comprehension to analyze the essence of Law of Space. However, your progress has been quite slow; even your new teacher, who has been granted the King Rank, feels your progress is not ideal.]
That year, Rong Jun broke through to the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, drawing envy from other geniuses.
[At 52 years old, your physical strength has reached 82 times your normal level. At this point, you have been in the Initial Universe for ten years!]
[During these ten years, your cultivation has frequently encountered bottlenecks, so you have occasionally gone Chaos City to hunt Chaos Beast to obtain Chaos True Spirit, allowing your perception of the Origin of Laws to become clearer! Meanwhile, geniuses are increasingly beginning to pass through the second level of the Heavenly Bridge.]
[Your friend Luo Feng suddenly cleared the second and third levels of the Heavenly Bridge in a single day, his strength now very close to yours. You were quite surprised, so you set off to Heavenly Bridge the fourth level. Unfortunately, your progress over the past Heavenly Bridge years hasn't been significant, and you ultimately failed to pass this formidable challenge!]
[At 53 years old, as you continue to hunt Chaos Beast and absorb Chaos True Spirit, your soul has reached its ultimate transformation, Chaos True Spirit no longer has any effect on you!]
[That year, your teacher suddenly approached you, urging you to abandon the path of analyzing the Law Essence and instead directly comprehend the Law patterns on the Chaos Stele. But you had already invested too much energy in analyzing the Law Essence, and you were unwilling to give up, so you refused your teacher. Your teacher sighed and then stopped interfering.]
[You are 60 years old now, eighteen years since you entered Chaos City.]
[That year, your friend Luo Feng suddenly cleared the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge, surpassing your strength. On the same day, Bolan also cleared the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge, still leading everyone else.]
[You begin to hesitate, wondering if you've truly made a mistake in choosing the path of analyzing Origin Law.]
[You found your teacher, Jinguang Marquis, Jinguang Marquis still tells you that you are the most extraordinary genius he has ever seen, and that you will definitely succeed!]
[Encouraged by Jinguang Marquis, you decided to persevere.]
[At 62 years old, twenty years after entering Chaos City, you have finally touched upon the Origin Law of Space and glimpsed a trace of its essence! Of course, your strength has not improved much, and you are still unable to pass the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge!]
[At 72 years old, your physical strength has reached 83 times your normal level, and your body has also evolved to the second tier of the Universe Level.]
[This year is also your final year in the Initial Universe. Ten years have passed, and based on your initial understanding of the Law of Space, you have finally comprehended five of the nine most fundamental mysteries of the Origin Law of Space. In this final year, you successfully passed the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge.]
[In this final year, Rong Jun also passed the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge, his strength no less than yours. And your friend Luo Feng actually reached Heavenly Bridge fifth level—such speed truly astonished you. Because Luo Feng is following the same path as you, analyzing the Origin Law, you know all too well just how difficult this path is!]
[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, after other geniuses have gone off to complete their missions, you too begin your own journey.]
[Out of caution, you chose a Normal Level mission with only a 10% mortality rate for your first task. However, since you were already Primal Secret Region Member, this made you the target of ridicule from many people.]
[At 166 years old, nearly a century has passed since you left the Initial Universe, and your physical exertion has reached 86 times your normal strength.]
[In the past hundred years, three geniuses from your cohort have already passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge: Bolan, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun, in that order. Everyone believes that these three are the most outstanding geniuses of this year's Genius Battle. You, on the other hand, only managed to secure a spot in the Primal Secret Region Realm by chance. Meanwhile, four other geniuses have also passed the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge.]
[Over the course of a century, you have comprehended the nine most fundamental mysteries of the Origin Law of Space, yet you still haven't passed the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge. You consulted your teacher, Jinguang Marquis, but he did not follow this difficult path and could not offer you much guidance.]
[Finally, you found your King Rank, who told you that you needed to perfectly comprehend the first diagram, which contained nine profound mysteries, in order to gain the strength to pass the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge.]
[Luo Feng has passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, officially becoming the most dazzling genius of your year's Genius Battle.]
[At 172 years old, the once-in-a-century Universe Level Qualification Battle began.]
[Years ago, the genius Bolan, who was in the Primal Secret Region with you, also passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge. Among the five Universe Level geniuses in the Primal Secret Region, including you, one peerless genius passed the eighth level of Heavenly Bridge, three passed the seventh level, while you have yet to break through to the fifth level!]
[In the Qualification Battle, you endured incredibly difficult battles, getting utterly crushed in every encounter! But during your fight with Luo Feng, he constantly offered you guidance, and that guidance finally helped you take a step forward.]
[You have finally comprehended the first diagram of the Chaos Stele, which contains nine profound mysteries. Your strength is now sufficient to pass the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge, representing a significant improvement. Unfortunately, you, along with Bolan, were still eliminated and sent to the Taichu Secret Realm.]
[At 272 years old, your physical exertion reached 88 times your normal strength.]
[A hundred years have passed. Despite your tireless cultivation, you still haven't passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge. At this point, your strength still ranks last among all the Universe Level geniuses in the Taichu Secret Realm. In the latest Qualification Battle, you have been eliminated and relegated to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.]
[At this time, your friend Luo Feng had already broken through to the Domain Lord, and his understanding of the Law had advanced by leaps and bounds. As for the other geniuses of your generation, apart from Bolan who rushed into the Primal Secret Region Rong Jun who remained in the Taichu Secret Realm, the other surviving geniuses were all in the Tiandi and Earth and the Endless Secret Realm. However, you, the genius who once shone brightly in the finals of the Genius Battle, have gradually faded into obscurity and become the subject of many people's idle gossip.]
[At 339 years old, your physical attributes have reached the ninth level of the Universe Level, your physical strength has increased to 89 times your normal level, and you have gained a profound understanding of the Origin Law of Fire. At the same time, you have also comprehended the eleventh most essential mystery of the Origin Law of Space.]
[The simulation has ended...]
"Simulation over?"
Yang Wu was completely stunned as he watched the experience unfold in the Simulator!
What does "simulation over" mean? He'd never encountered this situation in the Simulator before!
"Simulation over?" Yang Wu wondered to himself, "Could it be that the simulation time has reached its limit? Or has something unexpected happened to the Simulator?"
If it's just a matter of simulation time, Yang Wu isn't too worried.
But if the Time Simulator really is malfunctioning, Yang Wu will be in deep trouble!
After carefully reviewing the simulation experience, Yang Wu suddenly realized that, if the difference in the flow of time between the Initial Universe and the Primal Universe is not taken into account, the time he experienced in the Time Simulator was exactly about a hundred times the simulation interval.
"Is a hundredfold the limit?" Yang Wu pondered to himself.
However, Yang Wu wasn't entirely sure what caused the simulation to end.
"However, the simulated experience shown is truly flawless, leaving no room for error!" Yang Wu exclaimed.
Although Yang Wu had taken a King Level Immortal as his master in the Simulator, there was absolutely no indication of this person's identity within the Simulator. Yang Wu didn't even know which Chaos Stele he had chosen!
In other words, unless Yang Wu chooses reward three, he will become increasingly unable to understand his experiences in the Simulator.
Of course, based on his knowledge of the original work, he was still able to guess some of it.
Just as Yang Wu was pondering, the reward options in the Simulator refreshed again.
[Simulation ended. You can choose one of the following rewards.]
[First, his martial arts cultivation at age 339.]
[Part Two: Martial Arts Insights at Age 339.]
[Part Three: Simulated Life Experiences.]
"I choose reward two!"
Yang Wu chose reward two without any hesitation.
Yang Wu is currently still progressing through the Trial Tower, so of course he should choose the second reward: Martial Arts Insight.
Just after Yang Wu made his choice, countless insights exploded in Yang Wu mind.
The process of cultivating techniques for Force Application Technique, combat skills, and numerous secret methods.
Most importantly, Yang Wu's understanding of the two Origin Law of fire and space.
The Origin Law of Fire was somewhat better, merely deepening over time. However, Yang Wu's comprehension of the Origin Law of Space this time was significantly different from before.
Because, in the Simulator, he had already glimpsed the essence of the Origin Law of Space.
And this was his biggest takeaway from the simulation.
If Yang Wu had chosen a different path to comprehend the Law in the Simulator, with three hundred years and Yang Wu initial foundation, he might have been able to pass the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge. However, even if he had passed the sixth level, his gains would probably not have been as great as they are now.
Because the path Yang Wu is now taking will allow him to go further.
Yang Wu didn't know if the Chaos Stele he chose was the same Nine Universes Chaos Stele that Luo Feng had chosen, but the path Yang Wu was taking should be the same path that Luo Feng was taking.
In the original work, the creator of the Drifting Snow secret technique said that if one cannot comprehend the first set of sword techniques within twenty years in Chaos City, then one should give up on this path.
Clearly, Yang Wu does not quite fit the description of exceptional talent and comprehension that the other party claimed.
Even though Yang Wu already possessed the foundation of the third level of the Heavenly Bridge, it still took him nearly twenty years to comprehend a trace of the essence of the Law of Space.
However, Yang Wu's unparalleled mental fortitude and the existence of the Time Simulator are the foundation of his existence!
As long as Yang Wu embarks on the right path from the start, he can keep moving forward!
Thanks to the readers, Mo Ran Li Hun Shang, for the reward of 100 points.
