Simulation: Entering the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm

[At age 35, because the Laws of Wood are clearer within the Ancient Tree World, you shift your focus to comprehending them and make further progress.]

[In the same year, the Strongest Tournament begins.]

[The preliminary rounds start. You and Nalan are placed in the 1st and 2nd world sectors respectively. With your strength, you easily seize 1st place in your sectors and advance directly to the finals.]

[You witness the geniuses from other universe countries.]

[During the Trial Tower elimination, your strength is not weak, but compared to true geniuses, there is still a gap. Fortunately, the Illusion Tower technique you practiced provides strong resistance against soul attacks, and you ultimately rank 19th to advance.]

[Nalan ranks 82nd.]

[In the final arena battles, you play it steady and break through to the Hundred Line Flow during combat, ultimately ranking 8th, while Nalan ranks 90th.]

[Rank 1 enters the Primal Secret Realm, 2-5 enter the Beginning Secret Realm, 6-30 enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and the rest go to the Doomsday Secret Realm.]

[You successfully enter the core of the Virtual Universe.]

[The Ganwu Universe Master is very pleased, but at the same time, he is very disappointed in the geniuses from the Ganwu Secret Realm, so he reduces all of their benefits.]

[At age 37, the Strongest Tournament concludes.]

(There was a slight oversight earlier; it should have lasted at least two years. It being shorter than the Genius Tournament is normal.)

[In the same year, a man holding a black blade enters the depths of the Ancient Tree World alone. When he reappears, all the Immortal powerhouses of the Tree Person Race have been killed.]

[You are at a location in the core area of the Ancient Tree World, but at this moment, you feel the surrounding space becoming uncontrollable.]

[You are teleported by a powerhouse.]

[You arrive at the Ancient Tree World and see a mysterious ancient tree radiating the aura of Wood and Space Laws, along with a rustic-looking man.]

[He informs you that he is the Peak Domain King, one of the King-level Immortals under the Ganwu Universe Master. The Universe Master intends to reward you for your performance in the Strongest Tournament and for discovering the secret realm.]

Could it be!! Han Han's heart begins to race.

[The Peak Domain King tells you that this ancient tree is called the Wood Spirit Tree, which gestates a special life form—the Wood Spirit. Its gene level is 60 times that of an ordinary life form, and it has great affinity for both Wood and Space Laws.]

[All special life forms have innate secret techniques, and the Wood Spirit's innate secret technique is the fusion and enhancement of plant life.]

[For example, a World Lord level 9 plant life form can rival an Immortal after being possessed by a World Lord level Wood Spirit, and relying on its massive size, it can even achieve kills.]

[Because... the Wood Spirit's fusion has no time limit.]

[You are tempted.]

[The Peak Domain King sees your thoughts and informs you that the Universe Master intends to let you possess the Wood Spirit, but you must first advance from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm to the Beginning Secret Realm.]

[You have no choice but to agree to this condition.]

[At age 40, you enter the human holy land—the Initial Universe. The laws here are even clearer than in the Ancient Tree World, and most importantly, all laws are clear.]

[You choose a small pavilion where the Wood and Space Laws are relatively prominent to reside in.]

[You choose the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet.]

[At age 42, you pass the third level of the Heavenly Bridge, but some geniuses of the same period have already passed the fourth level. You clearly feel that your breakthroughs are becoming sluggish. If this continues, let alone the Beginning Secret Realm, falling into the Doomsday Secret Realm is not impossible.]

[Your confidence takes a hit.]

"There's no other way."

In reality, Han Han wouldn't be discouraged. "Fortunately, if my talent isn't enough, I have my cheat."

[The pursuit by geniuses of the same period makes you anxious, so you think of going outside Chaos City to hunt Chaos Beasts. After all, you have a group of auxiliary life forms, so the safety is quite high.]

[At age 43, you leave the city.]

Actually, given his personality, even with a group of helpers, he wouldn't want to take risks outside Chaos City. After all, safety is relative; World Lord level and even Immortal Chaos Beasts exist.

It is not hard to see that his psychological pressure is too great.

[You begin to hunt carefully. After absorbing Chaos True Spirits several times, you clearly feel a sense of comfort, and some laws become clear at this moment.]

[The Chaos True Spirits let you see hope.]

[At age 44, the Chaos True Spirits born from Universe level Chaos Beasts no longer have any effect on you, but you are not satisfied.]

[You step into the Domain Lord level Chaos Beast area.]

"Human greed is always infinite."

Han Han feels that the version of himself in the simulation will likely fall while hunting Chaos True Spirits. At this time, he should have 12 Domain Lord level 9 plant life forms, but it is still not absolutely safe.

One must know.

Chaos Beasts will roar and gather; if their numbers form a beast tide, his few trump cards won't be enough.

Overall, the version of himself in the simulation is just too young, and without memories from the original work, there are many things he cannot prevent.

[At age 52, you pass the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Because your various secret techniques and treasures are sufficient for use, you have not used your points to exchange for treasures.]

[You continue to slaughter Chaos Beasts.]

[Although you are worried, because of the Chaos True Spirits, you have caught up to the geniuses at the tail end of the Beginning Secret Realm, and even faintly surpassed them. Seeing hope, how could you give up?]

[At age 53, you wait for your strongest Spirit Silk Grass to break through to the World Lord level, then go deep into the high-level Domain Lord Chaos Beast area to hunt.]

[Your soul undergoes further transformation.]

"Kill away, kill away. If you're going, kill as many as you can," Han Han said.

If you called him stupid.

He would wait until the Spirit Silk Grass broke through to the World Lord level.

If you called him smart.

He dared to go to an area where a pack of high-tier Domain Lord level Chaos Beasts were active.

Fortunately, his soul had undergone a metamorphosis in the simulation, so options would surely appear when the time came; while this was risky, it wasn't entirely without benefits.

[54 years old, you encounter an accident.]

[A Domain Lord level comprehendor sees your plant lifeform. He doesn't know who you are, only that he will surely die if he doesn't lead the pursuing Chaos Beast pack toward you.]

[You refuse to save him and order the Spirit Silk Grass to leave.]

[However, the pack is attacking from the direction of your return path, so you can only flee into the outer layer.]

[Your speed is faster, and the Domain Lord falls to the Chaos Beasts midway, but you are forced into the outer layer as a result. Here, the Chaos airflow is much denser, and your detector is completely useless; you are like a blind man here.]

[The pack does not dare to continue the pursuit.]

[You intend to wait a moment before returning the way you came, ordering the Spirit Silk Grass to shrink its size as much as possible to avoid being detected by the World Lord level Chaos Beasts in the vicinity.]

[Unfortunately.]

[Because there are few hunters, the number of World Lord level Chaos Beasts does not differ much from the inner or middle layers; they exist in every area.]

[You encounter a World Lord level third-tier Chaos Beast.]

[Relying on the Spirit Silk Grass, you engage it in battle. A World Lord level second-tier Spirit Silk Grass could actually strangle the Chaos Beast, but the commotion is so great that it attracts a pack of Chaos Beasts.]

[Although your plant lifeform is powerful and could even surround and kill a World Lord level seventh-tier Chaos Beast, they refuse to fight you one-on-one.]

[You begin to flee.]

[Fortunately, the Chaos Beasts cannot instantly destroy your plant lifeform. With the terrifying recovery power of the Locke Divine Water, you successfully escape at the cost of the total destruction of the Spirit Silk Grass and one percent of your Locke Divine Water.]

[You return to Chaos City.]

[You behave yourself.]
