Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region, Yang Wu's manor.

After seeing off the staff who came to check on the completion of the mission, Yang Wu connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and appeared directly in his study.

When Yang Wu opened his personal homepage, his personal score had already changed.

Personal points balance: 1,111,437.

Before Yang Wu went to the Xueluo World, he almost used up all his points in order to help Shaluo Flower and Kashi break through to the Domain Lord Ninth Stage.

For the past thirty years, Yang Wu has remained in the Xueluo World, without any other source of points.

Fortunately, this time he became Black Warrior and completed a hidden quest. Combined with the rewards from the previous two quests, Yang Wu ultimately earned 1.11 million points.

"First, go buy the remains of the Clone!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, then quickly clicked on the biological category and other special categories to begin selecting materials.

"Thank goodness for the Blood Warrior reward, otherwise over 100,000 points might not have been enough!"

Looking at the prices of the remains of various life forms in the universe, Yang Wu was secretly astonished.

In order to temporarily conceal the fact that he had conceived Yan God Race Clone, Yang Wu decided to purchase more remnants of various races. However, he did not expect that even the remnants at the Universe Level would be so expensive.

This is actually normal. The remains that Yang Wu wants to buy are mostly from races with extremely strong individual strength. Even if it is just a part of their genetic material, it is unlikely to be obtained in Human Territory.

Although various races can be seen on the Outer-Region Battlefield, the more extraordinary a life form is, the more difficult it is for it to reproduce.

Take the Mosha Clan race as an example. They are known as the strongest assassin race in the universe, but how many of them are there in total?

Those Mosha Clan beings who dare to venture into the Outer-Region Battlefield must at least reach the World Lord Level!

Only the Four Peak Races —humans, Zerg Race, Machine Race, and Monster Race— and their affiliated races, can field organized armies with a large number of Universe Level warriors on the Outer-Region Battlefield.

Because they are difficult to obtain, they are even more expensive.

Fortunately, Yang Wu only needed some remains, not the entire body. A perfectly cultivated Star-Eating Grass would require hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan Unit just for its seedlings.

In the end, Yang Wu spent 470,000 points to successfully purchase Universe Level remnants of dozens of powerful races. The Yan God Race was completely insignificant among them, and no one would have imagined that he would give birth to Yan God Race Clone.

Because the precious remains that Yang Wu purchased were all from the Virtual Universe Company's treasure trove, they were quickly delivered to Yang Wu's hands.

After the delivery personnel left, Yang Wu instructed Field and the others not to disturb him, and then returned to his Quiet Room alone.

Whoosh!

With a thought, a piece of blood-red skin appeared out of thin air in Yang Wu's hand.

Looking at the Universe Level genetic material of the Yan God Race Clan in his hand, Yang Wu's heart pounded even harder.

He only has three opportunities to create Clone in his lifetime, and each opportunity is extremely precious. This first Yan God Race Clone is undoubtedly the most important in Yang Wu's eyes, and it will be one of his future reliance.

The talents of the two races, carefully nurtured by God King Level powerhouse, are perfectly combined; just thinking about it is exciting.

Isn't this far superior to any Special Lifeform? Although Special Lifeform are extraordinary, they are merely randomly conceived in the Primal Universe, with several existing in each Reincarnation Era, not to mention the three thousand Universe Ocean and countless Reincarnation Era.

What about God King beings who could be reincarnated in the Primal Universe?

While it cannot be said to be absolutely unique, it is certainly one of a kind in the Universe Ocean of Yang Wu's dimension.

Otherwise, if the Primal Universe had other better options, it would never have summoned the God King's body of the Mountain Sitting Guest in the future.

"I hope it really is as I think!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

With a thought, Yang Wu's figure vanished instantly, leaving only a sphere radiating dazzling light in his place—that was Yang Wu's Origin Core.

The Auxiliary Life Kashi and Shaluo Flower that remained outside instantly enveloped Yang Wu's Origin Core, protecting it completely.

Within the Origin Core formed by the Star Bead, a void space was created.

This void space was currently completely empty, except for a large amount of misty energy, which was Yang Wu's source of power!

Within this void, apart from Yang Wu and his future Clone, no other life form or object can enter.

This situation will only change after the future World Lord establishes Internal World.

Whoosh!

Yang Wu's figure suddenly appeared in this void space, and then he made a thought.

"Talented Clone, gestation!"

Rumble...

The entire void trembled instantly. The Yan God Race genetic material in Yang Wu's hand was lifted by an invisible force and suspended in the center of this void.

Yang Wu's long-awaited first Clone is finally about to begin to develop.

"Hiss..." It was as if it had vaporized.

The remains of the Yan God Race members, suspended high in the air, instantly vaporized.

"Huff huff..."

The countless energies that were originally scattered throughout the void space now surged wildly toward the center of the void space, completely enveloping the remnants of the vaporized Yan God Race's genetic material.

A moment later, only a dazzling, enormous sphere remained in place.

Around this enormous sphere, incredibly complex crimson runes were revealed, a hundred times more exquisite than those manifested by Yang Wu using the Xueluo Power.

"Here we go."

The time it takes for Yang Wu's Clone to develop is related to Yang Wu's own strength, as well as the strength and genes of the Clone he develops.

The stronger one's own strength, the faster Clone can be created; however, the stronger the Clone and the higher their Gene Multiplier, the slower the creation speed.

Some special races with noble bloodlines and great strength may take hundreds of years to develop.

Like Luo Feng's future Blood Sea Clone, even though his Internal World has become incredibly vast, it has been gestating for over six hundred years.

"I just wonder how long it will take for this Universe Level Yan God Race Clone to be formed?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

The Yan God Race is a powerful race capable of reproduction. Although their physical talents and potential are astonishing, their initial Gene Multiplier is likely not very high.

Once the genes of the Yan God Race were fully analyzed, Yang Wu's consciousness sensed that it would take about ten years to nurture this Universe Level Yan God Race Clone!

"Twenty years?" Yang Wu was quite surprised upon receiving the message from the gestation space.

Compared to the power of the Yan God Race, this timeframe is rather short.

It takes Luo Feng nearly four years to cultivate a second-tier, energy-type, Universe Level Mosha Clan Clone.

However, Yang Wu's Yan God Race Clone is a ninth-order Universe Level being, and its Gene Multiplier should exceed that of the Mosha Clan. In terms of energy alone, it is hundreds of times that of the Mosha Clan, and it is Flesh and Blood Lifeform, so its lifespan should be much longer.

"Is it because my situation is special that comparing me to the Golden Horned Beast is unreasonable?"

"Or is it that the Yan God Race Clone isn't what I imagined?"

Yang Wu's consciousness entered the nurturing space, carefully sensing the profound information emanating from it, and only then did he learn some of the details.

The Life Gene of the Yan God Race Clone chosen by Yang Wu is only twice that of an ordinary life form, while Yang Wu's Origin Core is even more powerful, so the gestation time will naturally be shorter.

"Only twice the Life Gene?" Yang Wu pondered to himself.

Such Life Gene are still inferior to the most elite bloodlines of the human race!

"The truth of the matter will only become clear after the Clone is formed!"

Once this innate Clone Technique begins to develop, it can never be changed, and there's no need to put in any more effort; just wait quietly.

After his Clone began to develop, Yang Wu returned directly to his Quiet Room.

After bringing back Kashi and Shaluo Flower, Yang Wu began to quietly contemplate his next steps.

"I originally intended to find a way to obtain the Clone Technique in a Universe Level secret realm, or to accumulate a large amount of wealth to purchase a Possession that can breed Clone for possession, but I never expected to have such a great gain!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

The ability to Clone is extremely rare. Even the kind of Monster Race royal bloodline that Yang Wu saw in the treasure vault, which can create a Clone, costs as much as 100 billion points.

Such wealth would be difficult for even Invincible King Level expert to acquire, let alone someone of Yang Wu's Universe Level.

For the strong, not having much cash is perfectly normal, because they have already converted their wealth into their own strength, such as Auxiliary Plant Life, secret techniques, weapons, armor, spaceships, and so on.

Just like Yang Wu now, although he only has a few hundred thousand points left, the Xueluo Crystal he possesses are invaluable. The Virtual Universe Company alone offered a purchase price of 600 points for each crystal, not to mention the Origin Core, which is comparable to a top-tier Heavy Treasure.

"I don't need points for many things right now, but I still need to plan ahead!"

Yang Wu failed to break through to the Domain Lord Level in the previous two simulations, so he did not cultivate the second level of the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>. However, Yang Wu still needed to prepare the money to purchase the secret technique in advance.

After all, Yang Wu needed to have purchased such a top-tier secret technique in real life before he could use it.

Otherwise, even if he is an unparalleled genius among humans, he will definitely be investigated by the higher-ups of the human race!

The second level of the Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body is priced at 1 million points, while the third level, which can be cultivated by World Lord Level, is priced at a whopping 10 million points.

And the later volumes of "Space-Time Essays"!

With Yang Wu's current cultivation speed, plus the assistance of the Simulator, he will probably be able to comprehend all 108 essential aspects of the Law of Space in less than a hundred years. Therefore, the secret techniques to follow should be prepared in advance.

"Since my Clone hasn't fully formed yet, I'll continue taking on dangerous cultivation missions! Once my Clone is fully formed, I'll start taking on extreme cultivation missions!" Yang Wu secretly planned.

According to the rules of the Virtual Universe Company, Universe Level geniuses need to undertake cultivation missions; Domain Lord Level geniuses are sent out to take charge of a region; and World Lord Level need to undergo life-and-death trials.

Core Member at the Universe Level can accept a maximum of ten cultivation missions every hundred years.

Furthermore, there is a limit to the total number of missions each person can accept. For example, Primal Secret Region Member like Yang Wu can accept a maximum of three Desperate Level Mission and a maximum of fifteen Dangerous Level Mission!

Even if Yang Wu had cultivated at the Universe Level for thousands of years, he could only accept this much at most.

Firstly, for safety reasons.

After all, cultivation missions are inherently extremely dangerous. If these geniuses were to accept cultivation missions they were unable to complete from the very beginning, the mortality rate would be even higher.

Like those elders in the Taichu Secret Realm, for the first few hundred years, they all took on Normal Level and Difficult Level missions to cultivate.

Only those with extreme self-confidence, like Yang Wu and Luo Feng, would accept dangerous missions from the outset.

Secondly, it's also due to the allocation of resources.

The minimum reward for Desperate Level Mission is 100,000 points, and the maximum is as high as one million. Even for Universe Level members of the Primal Secret Region, this is an astonishing number.

According to Yang Wu's plan, once he comprehends the 108 essential aspects of the Law of Space and has passed through the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain, he can directly break through to the Domain Lord Level.

"Then, in the meantime, let's finish the dangerous missions first!" Yang Wu confidently.

With his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter Immortal God during the mission, he will be in no danger!

In the Dangerous Level Mission of the Virtual Universe Company, missions with Immortal God like those in the Xueluo World are extremely rare.

There are six 'dangerous' missions in the Primal Secret Region. If we add the three ' Desperate Level Mission that will Clone, Yang Wu will have reached the limit of ten missions in one hundred years.

With the plan set, Yang Wu acted swiftly and decisively.

Yang Wu continued to undertake one Dangerous Level Mission after another.

For safety reasons, when Yang Wu encountered a mission with a high degree of danger, he would only complete the tasks required by the Virtual Universe Company alone with great care. When he encountered mission worlds with a slightly lower degree of danger, Yang Wu would rely on his own strength to begin exploring the secrets contained within the mission.

Unfortunately, the level of secrecy involved in a mission is directly proportional to its level of security.

The two most Dangerous Level Mission are 'Viska Star' and 'Ruined Ancient God Temple'.

Both of these cultivation tasks were briefly mentioned in the original work. Luo Feng once relied on his Mosha Clan Clone to snatch a piece of 'Zichen Bailuo Leaf' in the 'Ruined Ancient God Temple' task.

However, both worlds contain Immortal beings, and the original work did not elaborate on the opportunities. Most importantly, Yang Wu's Clone had not yet been successfully formed, so there was no in-depth exploration.

Because all six Dangerous Level Mission are located in the Primal Secret Region, Yang Wu saved a significant amount of travel time.

In the end, Yang Wu spent ten years completing all six Dangerous Level Mission.

The reason it took so much time is that, apart from 'Viska Star' and 'Ruined Ancient God Temple' which possess Immortal God, the strongest beings in the other four cultivation worlds are all Peak World Lord.

With Yang Wu's strength, he should certainly investigate carefully.

Although the danger levels of 'Viska Star' and 'Ruined Ancient God Temple' are very high, the Virtual Universe Company's mission is quite simple.

Yang Wu completed the 'Viska Star' mission over three months and received a reward of 20,000 points.

Yang Wu spent five months on the 'Ruined Ancient God Temple' quest and also received a reward of 20,000 points.

The other four cultivation tasks, although with lower reward points and lower risk levels than the two tasks, yielded significant gains for Yang Wu after his in-depth exploration.

The 'Purple Flame Island' quest world.

Although Purple Flame Island has the word "island" in its name, its area is extremely large, with a diameter exceeding ten million kilometers, enough to contain dozens of ordinary stars.

Compared to the Xueluo World and the Lasao World, which are measured in trillions of kilometers, Purple Flame Island is indeed pitifully small.

Due to the limited living space, the most powerful being on Purple Flame Island is only a ninth-level World Lord, with their Law Comprehension around the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Although Yang Wu was no match for him, he could never kill Yang Wu.

On Purple Flame Island lies a Holy Land where a wondrous 'Purple Flame' is nurtured, greatly aiding those who cultivate the Law of Fire.

Of course, Yang Wu has now gained the recognition of the Law of Fire, so the help from the Purple Flame is negligible for him.

However, this does not negate the value of this Purple Flame!

A single Purple Flame costs 50,000 points in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury. In the universe, even if it were available for sale, its value would undoubtedly be much higher!

Of course, if Yang Wu were to sell the Purple Flame to the Virtual Universe Company, the acquisition price would definitely be significantly reduced, just like the Xueluo Crystal.

There are 21 mature Purple Flame in the Purple Flame Island Holy Land. Yang Wu spent two years to obtain the opportunity to go to the Holy Land for cultivation. Finally, after the Purple Flame became completely ineffective against him, he took six of Purple Flame.

It's not that Yang Wu can't take too much, but the Purple Flame isn't that precious to him. If he takes it all, the Purple Flame Island Holy Land will be in a semi-paralyzed state for some time to come.

Over the course of two years, Yang Wu had developed a degree of acceptance of the natives of Purple Flame Island, and therefore did not push things to the extreme.

Yang Wu did not intend to sell the six Purple Flame; they were mostly prepared for his own relatives and friends.

Yang Wu always remembered the gift he wanted to give to his senior brother Natie. It just so happened that Natie had been comprehending the Law of Fire, and although this Purple Flame was not particularly precious, it was undoubtedly extremely suitable for Natie.

The 'Feixian World' quest world.

This mission world is very different from the other worlds Yang Wu has experienced!

The natives of this world place greater emphasis on Combat Secret Technique in their cultivation. For them, the sophistication of these techniques is even more important than their Law Comprehension.

In this world, even Planetary Level are all Self-Created Secret Technique, much like how Hong and Thunder God created the <World Destroyer> and <Nine Layered Thunder Blade> on Earth.

Of course, those Planetary Level have systematic guidance, and the secret techniques they created are even stronger than <World Destroyer> and <Nine Layered Thunder Blade>.

The 'Feixian World' has a total of 365 Top-tier Secret Technique, each created by World Lord Level powerhouse, yet each comparable to secret techniques created by many Immortal in the universe.

If we're simply classifying them, they should fall into the ordinary level, equivalent to the <Soul Seal> created by Hu Yanbo.

The task given by the Virtual Universe Company was to obtain one of the 365 Top-tier Secret Technique.

Although most of these secret techniques are not suitable for Yang Wu, they can provide him with great reference value when he creates Yang Wu Self-Created Secret Technique in the future.

Each secret technique costs 10,000 points in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury.

Therefore, Yang Wu spent five years in this world and finally collected all 365 Top-tier Secret Technique. As for the relatively weaker secret techniques, there were as many as several thousand.

Unfortunately, the Virtual Universe Company, so Yang Wu only received 10,000 points after completing the mission.

The 'Wuliang Sea' quest world.

The entire world of this mission is an ocean. As for land, there are only a few islands, whose combined area is less than one-thousandth of the ocean's area.

In this Wuliang Sea world, humans exist on only a very few large islands, making them extremely rare.

Yang Wu's mission was to hunt down all sorts of monsters and ferocious beasts that roamed the ocean.

The task was simple, but extremely tedious.

In the end, Yang Wu spent half a year completing the task and finally received a reward of 15,000 points.

I'm really out of ideas for the last world. If you have any good suggestions, please leave a message in the group. As for the King Yanzhu's strength, please refer to Chapter 19 of Part 12 of the original text if you have any questions.
