The Simulation Count had actually refreshed five days ago, but Han Han thought the simulation would be more effective after he got his hands on the Spirit Silk Grass seeds.
He let his consciousness sink.
[Life simulation begins]
[At age 25, you began cultivating Spirit Silk Grass. Comparing the growth solution with Locke Divine Water, you found they were in completely different leagues. So you replaced all the growth solution in your equipment with Locke Divine Water and stored it in your Micro World.]
[You chose to settle on Cui'en Planet.]
[At age 28, you advanced to Star Rank 8. Iron Vine Grass advanced to Universe Level Fourth Rank, while Gold Wood Grass had already advanced to Universe Level 7.]
[But that wasn't important. What mattered was that all ten Spirit Silk Grass seeds had sprouted.]
[You began focusing on cultivating Spirit Silk Grass.]
[From what you learned, Spirit Silk Grass came in three grades: Hundred Silk, Thousand Silk, and Ten Thousand Silk. You knew this, but you couldn't afford the supplementary materials.]
[Spirit Silk Grass greedily absorbed Locke Divine Water.]
[At age 35, you successfully advanced to Universe Rank 1 and comprehended the third layer of the Rotten Wood Blade, reaching a power multiplier of 18.]
[Iron Vine Grass advanced to Universe Rank 9.]
[Gold Wood Grass advanced to Domain Lord Rank 1.]
[The ten Spirit Silk Grass plants were at different levels. The weakest was Universe Rank 7, while the strongest had already caught up with Gold Wood Grass at Domain Lord Rank 1.]
[To your surprise, even the weakest Spirit Silk Grass had Thousand Silk quality, while the strongest was close to Ten Thousand Silk.]
[You marveled at the power of Locke Divine Water. Besides, losing this much over ten years was only a drop in the bucket. But you felt that you had enough Plant Lifeforms for now, and figured Locke Divine Water had to be useful for more than cultivating them, so you didn't want to waste too much.]
[The Universe Powerhouse Battle began, and you signed up. But you were eliminated in the preliminaries.]
[That same year, you remembered the mysterious cosmic coordinates in your Auxiliary Optical Computer. After looking them up, you learned they were in the Thousand Wave Secret Realm, one of the Universe Mercenary Alliance's assessment secret realms.]
[You decided to go take a look, but first you had to reach Universe Rank 9.]
[At age 37, you decided to take revenge on the slave traders first.]
[You went to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Tana was surprised that you had already reached Universe Rank 2, and began imagining all sorts of things about your background.]
[You said you wanted to buy a spaceship.]
[Tana generously offered to give you a C5-Rank Spaceship, on the condition that you kill someone for him.]
[You were tempted.]
[After learning more, you found out the target was a Star Rank 9 guard under the Universe Rank family—the Moran Family. His name was Wusha Moran, and he had no notable background.]
[With Tana's information, you found Wusha and killed him with your overwhelming strength. When the Moran Family learned of it, they simply ignored what you had done.]
[You obtained a C5-Rank Spaceship.]
[You had previously discovered that Huashan, a Domain Lord of the Heaven Seeking Pavilion, was the one backing the slave traders. You decided to talk to Huashan first.]
[Huashan looked down on you, but backed off when you revealed Gold Wood Grass at Domain Lord Rank 3. Anyone capable of cultivating Gold Wood Grass to Domain Lord Rank couldn't be ordinary, and the slave traders weren't worth risking his life over.]
[Of course, all this was because Huashan had no idea you had once been a slave on Thousand Leaf Planet.]
[You easily wiped out the slave traders and took your revenge.]
[After you wiped them out, Huashan came forward and took over their vast assets. He had wanted to give you a few life-bearing planets, but you refused.]
[You were worried he might figure out that you had once been a slave on Thousand Leaf Planet.]
[You returned to Cui'en Planet to cultivate in seclusion.]
[At age 40, you advanced to Universe Rank 9. Iron Vine Grass reached Domain Lord Rank 1, Gold Wood Grass reached Domain Lord Rank 5, and Spirit Silk Grass ranged from Domain Lord Rank 6 to Domain Lord Rank 8.]
[You went to the Universe Mercenary Alliance.]
[Universe Rank experts took the one-star Universe Mercenary Assessment. From your inquiries, you learned the assessment site was the Thousand Wave Secret Realm.]
[You went to the Thousand Wave Secret Realm and learned what the assessment entailed.]
[Another Universe Rank 9 expert invited you to team up, saying it would improve your chances of passing and be safer. You politely declined.]
[You began hunting Ice Prism Beasts.]
[With your Domain Lord Rank Plant Lifeforms, hunting them posed no challenge. You completed the assessment in just one day, then began searching for the location of the mysterious coordinates.]
[To your surprise, the coordinates pointed to your current location. But there was nothing there, so you guessed it might be beneath the sea.]
[You began diving.]
[Gradually, you sensed a faint, mysterious aura. You guessed it might be whatever the mysterious coordinates represented.]
[You dove faster, but then Gold Wood Grass sent you a feeling of pain. Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't have been able to reach that depth.]
[After a moment's thought, you gave Gold Wood Grass Locke Divine Water to help it recover. Its rich vitality coursed through it, and its frost-shattered leaves were restored in an instant.]
[You were satisfied and continued diving.]
[Unbeknownst to you, although Gold Wood Grass absorbed most of the Locke Divine Water, a trace spread through the Ice Ocean, attracting the attention of the Ice Prism Beasts beneath the sea.]
[You were attacked by a swarm of Ice Prism Beasts.]
[Although the swarm included many Universe Rank beasts and even Domain Lord Rank ones, and was terrifying in the deep sea, it was no match for your ten Spirit Silk Grass plants.]
[You easily slaughtered the swarm. The stench of blood spread through the seawater, and the other Ice Prism Beasts dared not approach for a while.]
[As you went deeper, even Locke Divine Water couldn't help Gold Wood Grass descend any farther. So you released your strongest Spirit Silk Grass and entered the Micro World.]
[The Domain Lord Rank 8 Spirit Silk Grass, with several thousand strands, was far stronger than an ordinary Domain Lord Rank 9, and its endurance rivaled a World Lord's.]
[You finally saw the source of the aura.]
[It was a metal altar. One hundred and eight threads, pulled by eight metal pillars, continuously fed into a central ice-blue crystal.]
[You realized it had been set up by the Universe Mercenary Alliance. But the assessment rules stated that you could do as you pleased with anything found in the secret realm. You didn't know what the ice-blue crystal was, though, so you didn't immediately order Spirit Silk Grass to take it.]
[The Virtual Universe had no information on it.]
[After some thought, you decided not to worry about it. The ice-blue crystal had to be a treasure, and you figured taking it couldn't hurt, so you ordered Spirit Silk Grass to grab it.]
[Unfortunately...]
[The Universe Mercenary Alliance had set up a tight defense here. Only humans could approach, so Spirit Silk Grass was attacked.]
[You discovered that the attackers were three D9-Rank Laser Cannons, each capable of easily killing a Domain Lord Rank 9.]
[You didn't want to give up, so you released all your Spirit Silk Grass to cover the strongest one.]
[You successfully took the ice-blue crystal.]
[After the battle, half your Spirit Silk Grass had been killed by the laser cannons. Fortunately, most of them had been the weaker ones, and with Locke Divine Water, you could cultivate replacements easily.]
[You decided to finish the assessment and leave.]
[You saw the Universe Rank 9 expert who had wanted to team up with you again. He had only killed three Ice Prism Beasts for his assessment.]
[You got the idea to sell your spoils.]
[You made 28 billion Cuilang Coins from selling the Ice Prism Beasts. You couldn't help marveling that a business with no costs was pure profit. Unfortunately, there hadn't been many people taking the assessment this time, and you still had some Ice Prism Beasts left unsold.]
[You left the Thousand Wave Secret Realm.]
