Simulation: The Opportunity to Catch Up-Blood Marrow

[You return to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion]

[You often attend lectures given by masters from the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet lineage. Unfortunately, even after your transformation through the Chaos True Spirit, your talent is only on par with the lowest level of the Beginning Secret Realm. None of the masters have any intention of taking you as a disciple]

[At 95, you pass the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge]

[You cultivate the fifth move of Falling Wood Seven Kill Blade, and your Hundred Line Flow movement technique becomes even more refined]

[As time passes, however, the other members also hunt Chaos Beasts and absorb Chaos True Spirits to transform their souls, narrowing the gap between you]

[You share a drink with Nalan]

[Unlike you, Nalan makes rapid progress after entering the Initial Universe. Although she ranked 90th at the time, she has already surpassed the member who originally ranked 30th]

[You hide your frustration behind a smile]

[You realize that Wood Spirit is your only chance. In the upcoming Qualification Battle, you must enter the Beginning Secret Realm]

[At 140, you leave the Initial Universe. Unfortunately, you never manage to pass the sixth level before departing. You remain just one step short, and feel how difficult Law Comprehension is]

[You enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and begin your true journey of cultivation with the Virtual Universe Company]

[You learn the value of the Locke Divine Water. Even as a Core Member of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, you can't be absolutely protected. In the end, you abandon the idea of selling it; doing so would only invite endless suspicion]

[You buy ten Spirit Silk Grass seedlings and some basic cultivation treasures]

[At 160, you decide to take on a mission]

[Members of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm are forbidden from taking Desperate Level Missions. They can only choose from a few relatively safe Dangerous Level Missions. Because of what happened outside Chaos City, you choose a Difficult Level Mission: Blood Star]

[Blood Star is a superplanet with a diameter of ten million kilometers. It has no land on its surface, only rivers of crimson blood. The endless Blood Sea gives rise to mindless Blood Beasts, which resemble Chaos Beasts. Once they reach a certain level of strength, they can wield the laws]

[You receive a mission: collect 100 Blood Crystals]

[Blood Crystals are special treasures produced on Blood Star and are essential to Blood Beasts' growth. Blood Beasts are instinctively drawn to the aura given off by Blood Crystals and gather around them]

[With the Gold Wood Grass you have left, hunting Blood Beasts to obtain Blood Crystals is no difficult task]

[But if you want to enter the Beginning Secret Realm, completing only these ordinary missions gives you a very slim chance of success. You must obtain a far more precious treasure]

[After completing the ordinary mission, you begin exploring Blood Star]

[The endless Blood Sea on Blood Star seems to stretch on forever, as if it could never run dry. You begin to wonder where it comes from]

[You discover 10,081 Blood Eyes on Blood Star. The blood aura around them is noticeably denser, and the Blood Beasts there are far stronger than those elsewhere. A small number are even Immortal Level Blood Beasts. Fortunately, you only take a distant look and have no intention of provoking them]

[You consider entering a Blood Eye]

[You have observed that Blood Beasts only absorb the energy spilling from the Blood Eyes and cannot enter them. The secret behind the Blood Sea's formation may lie within]

[You find a Blood Eye with relatively few Blood Beasts around it]

[With the Gold Wood Grass and Iron Vine Grass shielding you, you successfully enter the Blood Eye. The Blood Beasts are furious, but they can't cross the threshold]

[You feel the dense baleful aura assailing you, but you can still endure it near the entrance]

[To go deeper, you must temper your will]

[At 206, your will breaks through to the peak of the Domain Lord Level, but all you can still see is endless red. The scene inside the Blood Eye hasn't changed at all]

[Still, you sense that the Blood Eye seems to lead to some Core Land]

[You refuse to leave just like that]

[At 288, your Law Comprehension reaches the level of the sixth Heavenly Bridge layer. But countless other geniuses of your generation are stronger than you, and even Nalan has passed the seventh layer]

[Word has leaked from the Ancient Tree Secret Realm that they may intend to give Wood Spirit to Nalan and compensate you with a certain amount of money instead. Nothing has been decided yet]

[At 290, as you temper your will, you suddenly sense a wave of energy. Startled awake, you see a Blood Beast charging at you]

[You are utterly shocked]

[According to the Virtual Universe Company's records, only Blood Beasts that have developed intelligence comparable to that of ordinary lifeforms are recognized by the Blood Eyes and allowed to enter and cultivate]

[You promptly report it, as required by the rules]

[Unfortunately, this Blood Beast has the strength of a High-Level Military Lord. Your Plant Lifeform can hold it back, but you are inside the Blood Eye, where the baleful aura will not stop assailing you]

[The Blood Beast strikes you]

[The Gold Wood Grass protects you, so you can survive the blow. But the impact sends you deeper into the Blood Eye, where the intense baleful aura rams into your consciousness]

[This baleful aura doesn't affect the soul. Even with your Phantom Spirit at the ninth rank of the World Lord Level, you can't fully resist it]

[Your consciousness begins to grow hazy]

[You enter the depths of the Blood Eye]

[In a daze, you see where the 10,081 Blood Eye passages converge: a hollow space, with a "Blood Crystal" floating beneath its center]

[Just before your consciousness is destroyed, you take the "Blood Crystal" from the center of the hollow space]

[Your consciousness dissipates]

[You die]

[This simulation has ended]

[Rating: F-80]

[After entering the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, you suffer one setback after another. To catch up, you have to work harder than everyone else. Unfortunately, during your journey to Blood Star, the Blood Marrow took shape, and you failed to seize the opportunity it offered]

[You may choose two of the following options]

[One: Cosmic Level Third Order cultivation]

[Two: Law Comprehension at the initial level of the fifth layer of the Mother Ancestor Heavenly Bridge]

[Three: A partially transformed soul]

[Four: Domain Lord Level seventh-rank will]

[Five: Initial mastery of Hundred Line Flow, and comprehension of the fourth move of Falling Wood Seven Kill Blade]

[Six: Ten ninth-rank Domain Lord Level Spirit Silk Grass]

[Seven: 100 Hunyuan Units]

[Eight: 102 Blood Crystals]

[Nine: A portion of Blood Marrow]
