[At age 232, you are diligently cultivating in the Ganwu Universe Country when you suddenly receive a mission from Virtual Universe Company at the Domain Lord stage.]

[During the mission, you befriend a peak-level Immortal Peak King Level from a human subordinate race, and at his invitation, you visit his homeland.]

[In the homeland of that human-subordinate race, you were challenged by a peerless genius, also a Domain Lord Ninth Stage. You used every means at your disposal and finally defeated him.]

[This subordinate race possesses a sacred artifact comparable to the Chaos Stele. You were fortunate enough to be permitted to study it for a month, which significantly improved your not-so-profound Law of Gold.]

[After completing your comprehension, you received a precious gift from this subordinate race, allowing you to choose any secret manual from their Inheritance Land.]

[You have obtained an extremely valuable secret manual in the other party's Inheritance Land.]

[Having gained a great deal, you are about to leave the other person's hometown when you receive a very warm and hospitable invitation from an Immortal, inviting you to explore their hometown thoroughly.]

[Ultimately, you decided to linger a little longer, and then, guided by the extremely hospitable Immortal, you began your journey to various wondrous places in their homeland. In one of these places stood a strange statue that bore a striking resemblance to the Ancient Giant Beast projection you encountered in the Xueluo World.]

[According to that hospitable Immortal, many powerful humans meditate near that statue. Intrigued, you decide to begin your own cultivation there as well.]

[At 272 years old, two hundred years have passed since you left Chaos City. You have finally comprehended a new Space Essence. To date, you have comprehended 18 of the 72 most difficult essences of the Law of Space.]

[That year, a new round of Universe Level Qualification Battle began for the Virtual Universe Company. Due to your breakthrough, one member of the Primal Secret Region's Universe Level team was missing. Ultimately, your fellow genius, Bolan, also entered the Primal Secret Region.]

[Your wife, Qianshui, also successfully passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge during these nearly one hundred years, and finally returned safely to the Taichu Secret Realm.]

[At 301 years old, over a hundred years have passed since you broke through to the Domain Lord Level.]

[Having spent decades in the homeland of that subordinate race, and having gained no insight from the mysterious statue, you decide to return to the Ganwu Universe Country.]

[Just as you were bidding farewell to that hospitable Immortal, an unexpected event occurred. The opponent instantly self-destructed, unleashing a powerful burst of Immortal Divine Power that immediately obliterated you, and severely injured your Guard Army Leader.]

[Meanwhile, on a desolate, lifeless planet in the Ganwu Universe Country, your Yan God Race Clone once again gave birth to your Earthling.]

[At age 302, you encounter your Guard Army Leader again in reality. He apologizes to you, and although you forgive him, you never truly trust him again.]

[At the same time, your teacher, Jinguang Marquis, also heard about your assassination attempt by the Alien Race. Jinguang Marquis then returned directly from the Outer-Region Battlefield, determined to protect you.]

[The arrival of Jinguang Marquis deeply moved you. In the days that followed, you got along very well with the three giants of the Ganwu Branch of the Virtual Universe Company, and they began to help Jinguang Marquis's forces as much as possible within the rules.]

[At age 316, your friend Luo Feng conquered the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge, becoming a peerless genius second only to you.]

Luo Feng, having passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge, also broke through to the Domain Lord Level. During his mission, he became Supervisory Special Envoy for a Ganwu Universe Country Cosmic Nation.

[750 years old. At this point, more than six hundred years have passed since you left Chaos City.]

[This year, the latest round of the Domain Lord Level Qualification Battle at Virtual Universe Company finally began.]

[Since Luo Feng conquered the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge, neither of you has attempted Heavenly Bridge again for hundreds of years. Therefore, many people are speculating about who is the more talented individual in this qualifying round.]

[Because you and Luo Feng broke through one after the other, the Primal Secret Region Domain Lord Level members, which originally numbered only ten, now number twelve.]

[You won eight out of the 11 Qualification Battle at the Domain Lord Level, successfully remaining in the Primal Secret Region.]

[To everyone's astonishment, your friend Luo Feng, who had already gone to the Initial Universe to cultivate, actually crushed 11 Primal Secret Region Domain Lord, including yourself, with absolute power.]

[During your battle, your friend Luo Feng, to show his respect for you, actually used the final move of the Yan Shen Armament —'Even the Immortal Can Also Be Defeated '! This power astonished everyone watching the battle.]

After the Qualification Battle, Luo Feng attempted to cross the Heavenly Bridge again, and surprisingly, he Heavenly Bridge the Thirteenth Floor in one go. This rate of progress even surpassed that of all the Domain Lord Level geniuses in human history.

After successfully crossing the Heavenly Bridge, Luo Feng smoothly became a disciple of the Chaos City Leader, the head of the Virtual Universe Company.

[Because you frequently spar with Luo Feng, you know that he follows the same path of analyzing the Law Essence as you. Therefore, his astonishing progress is completely incomprehensible to you. After all, hundreds of years have passed, and you are still a little short of passing the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, while Luo Feng, who was originally far behind you, has directly comprehended all the essence of the Law of Space, and has even passed the Thirteenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge. Such a speed of progress is truly astonishing.]

[You've found your teacher, Nine Sword Venerable Nine Sword Venerable. He tells you that Luo Feng's astonishing rate of progress at the Domain Lord Level is unprecedented even in human history! However, Nine Sword Venerable also tells you that while you lag behind him in Law Comprehension, your advantage lies in your physical strength; there's no need to use your weakness against his strength.]

[At age 821, your wife, Qianshui, also broke through to the Domain Lord Level. While on a mission dispatched by the Virtual Universe Company, she chose the Ganwu Universe Country and came to your hometown.]

[Under the immense pressure from Luo Feng, you have been diligently cultivating, and finally, in this year, you have comprehended 27 of the 72 most profound essences of the Law of Space, and successfully passed the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.]

[At 942 years old, time has flown by unnoticed, and you remain at the Domain Lord Ninth Stage.]

[Nearly nine hundred years have passed since you participated in the Genius Battle. Most of the geniuses from your cohort have perished, and only 427 remain alive. Even among those who made it into the top twenty, one has already fallen.]

[That year, your wife Qianshui became pregnant. This news made you extremely happy, after all, the stronger you are, the more difficult it is to have children.]

Three years later, your first child was successfully born in your home planet Earth.

[At age 1218, more than two hundred years have passed since your child was born.]

[During this year, your child, who had already been absorbed by the Virtual Universe Company, finally gained the qualification to go to the Initial Universe for cultivation.]

[Meanwhile, having attained the qualification to cultivate in the Initial Universe at the Domain Lord stage, you decide to accompany your child to the Initial Universe. Unfortunately, your wife, Qian Shui, is still relatively weak and not yet suitable for secluded cultivation in the Initial Universe.]

[After you traveled to the Initial Universe, your wife, Qianshui, stayed in your hometown for ten years before heading to her own home planet, the 'Mysterious Land' August Planet, for secluded cultivation.]

[At age 2142, time has passed, and you have now cultivated in seclusion in the Initial Universe for nearly nine hundred years.]

[Over the course of nearly a thousand years, you have diligently cultivated yourself, and finally comprehended 52 of the 72 most profound Space Essence of the Origin Law of Space.]

[Meanwhile, the other geniuses in your cohort have also made astonishing progress. Bolan, in particular, has already passed the Tenth Layer the Heavenly Bridge, while Luo Feng, a genius who has long surpassed you, remains in seclusion within Chaos City, cultivating in isolation.]

[Simulation ended...]

Looking back on his experience in this simulation, Yang Wu was filled with many thoughts.

The experience in the Simulator alone is enough to demonstrate the usefulness of Clone.

In this simulation, the mission Yang Wu received in the early stages should be the one involving cooperation with the Golden Horned Tribe.

It can be said that Yang Wu perfectly replicated Luo Feng's experience during that period.

Unlike Luo Feng's original story, the genius who challenged Yang Wu was likely the top genius of the Golden Horned Tribe at the Domain Lord Level. More importantly, the Guard Army Leader Field, who protected Yang Wu, was clearly not as dedicated as Luo Feng's junior disciple, and his strength was also somewhat lacking.

That's why Yang Wu's Earthling body was killed by the Immortal controlled by the Zerg Race through self-destruction. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the Zerg Race sent an even more powerful Immortal.

Fortunately, Yang Wu already possessed the ability to Clone, successfully surviving the assassination attempt. However, his ability to Clone was undoubtedly exposed as a result.

Of course, aside from that, Yang Wu was extremely satisfied with this simulation experience.

First, Yang Wu quickly broke through to the Domain Lord stage in the Simulator. Although he did not break through to the World Lord in the end, his cultivation speed increased significantly.

With the help of various treasures, Yang Wu had comprehended 35 new Space Essence in two thousand years, a speed that far surpassed the previous simulations.

Furthermore, Yang Wu was deeply moved by Qian Shui and Jinguang Marquis's experiences in the Simulator.

To protect Yang Wu, who had been assassinated, Jinguang Marquis returned to the Ganwu Universe Country from the Outer-Region Battlefield.

Qian Shui, having cultivated for less than a thousand years, broke through to the Domain Lord stage. At that time, she probably hadn't even passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge. With such strength, she would likely have been relegated to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm during the Domain Lord Level Qualification Battle.

Another point is that in both simulations, Yang Wu and Qian Shui's children successfully joined the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company, which is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of Yang Wu's descendants.

This news made Yang Wu very happy, and he eagerly anticipated the arrival of the child.

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

[First, his martial arts cultivation at age 2142.]

[Part Two: Martial Arts Insights at Age 2142.]

[Part Three: Simulated Life Experiences.]

Soon, a reward option appeared on the Simulator.

Faced with these three familiar options, Yang Wu did not hesitate at all and directly chose the martial arts insight from reward two.

"I choose reward two!"

The moment Yang Wu made his choice, countless insights began to surface in his mind.

The Law of Fire, the Law of Gold, the Law of Space...

Various secret techniques, various combat skills...

Countless insights into martial arts flooded into Yang Wu's mind, then merged with Yang Wu previous understanding, ultimately allowing him to fully accept and master them.

Only after Yang Wu had fully absorbed all the insights did he realize just how astonishing his gains truly were.

In addition to having comprehended 88 out of the 108 Space Essence in terms of Law of Space, Yang Wu has also made astonishing progress in other areas.

Yang Wu has already cultivated the Body Amplitude secret technique, "Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body," to the second level. Once unleashed, his strength can reach four times its original level.

Yang Wu also fully mastered the Movement Technique, "Nine Steps of Sky-Stepping," which greatly enhanced his burst speed and ability to change direction instantly.

Of course, Yang Wu's biggest gain from this simulation was actually his understanding of the Law of Gold.

Yang Wu's enlightenment at the Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele also allowed him to reach the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge the Law of Gold.

While such strength is insignificant compared to Yang Wu's two great Law of fire and space, it still reaches the level of several top geniuses in the Taichu Secret Realm.

More importantly, Yang Wu knew that the later stage required mastering the Fusion Law and ultimately striving towards the Chaos Law.

Therefore, it is best to master all Ten Laws at the very beginning.

Before breaking through to Immortal, it's best to obtain the recognition of the Origin Law for Eight Lower Laws. This way, when he comprehends these Law later, he will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This was arguably the most unexpected gain he made during this simulation experience.

"If the next simulation goes smoothly, I should be able to comprehend all 108 essential aspects of the Law of Space, right?" Yang Wu thought to himself, reflecting on all the gains he had made from the Simulator.

After a short rest, Yang Wu started a new simulation.

However, this simulation did not encounter a cautious and steady personality, so Yang Wu ultimately chose the brave personality.

Soon, all the simulation experiences appeared on the Simulator panel in front of Yang Wu.

However, the new simulation produced many unexpected results.

In the early stages of the simulation, due to Yang Wu's different personality choices, Yang Wu wasted a lot of time in the Universe Level secret realm mission.

Of course, Yang Wu broke through to the Domain Lord Level at the same time, but because he had experienced the previous simulation, Yang Wu talent became even more astonishing in the eyes of others.

Therefore, after the first assassination attempt failed, the Zerg Race quickly organized a second one.

In Yang Wu's view, this second assassination attempt was likely carried out by Immortal who was skilled in Soul Control.

Yang Wu possessed an extremely strong will and an extraordinary state of mind, ultimately failing in his second assassination attempt.
