Cuilang Planet
This was the main planet of the Cuilang Empire, and it was far more prosperous than Cui'en Planet.
The manor Han Han had bought for one billion Ganwu Coins, for instance, was nothing special among Cuilang Planet's many manors. It was only middle-of-the-road.
After arriving, Han Han kept a low profile.
"Finally."
Han Han watched as the Simulation Count finished cooling down. After all, this simulation was crucial to obtaining the Wood Spirit.
(Once the story reaches Universe Rank, the normal plot will start to get more exciting.)
``` [Simulation Count: 0]
[Life Simulation Begins]
[At 26, you easily broke through to Star Rank. Your Law Comprehension surpassed that of even some World Lords, and you decided to enter the Strongest Tournament nine years later.]
[At 27, you displayed peerless Law Comprehension in your battle against Nalan. She was utterly astonished and reported your situation truthfully to the higher-ups of the Ganwu Dojo.]
[You were once again taken seriously.]
[The Immortal God Feng Yi summoned you. After a simple test, however, he merely told you to wait. He needed to report your situation to the Ganwu Secret Realm, which stood above the Ganwu Dojo.]
[The Ganwu Secret Realm took you very seriously.]
[The Immortal God Eleven met with you and put you through a simple test. He discovered that your talent for the laws was at least on par with the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge.]
[You attracted the attention of the Ganwu Universe Master.]
[Eleven invited you to join the Ganwu Secret Realm. You would receive all kinds of resources, and you could ask him for advice on cultivation whenever you wished.]
[Most importantly, the Ganwu Universe Master agreed to guide you once.]
[You agreed, but requested that you not be forced into life-or-death trials or have your freedom restricted.]
[The Ganwu Secret Realm readily agreed to your conditions.]
[To the Ganwu Universe Master, having a genius from the Primal Secret Realm emerge from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom was far more important than those conditions. He was willing to part with even some treasures.]
[You began cultivating in seclusion.]
[At 28, you broke through to Universe Rank. The Ganwu Secret Realm prepared a C9 Grade Nutrient Pod for you at no cost, which could automatically raise you to the ninth order of Universe Rank.]
[You used Ice Flower first.]
[At 30, your progress was somewhat below expectations, but your Law Comprehension still far outstripped that of the other geniuses of your generation. You were in a league of your own.]
[You recalled the mysterious coordinates stored in your Smart Optical Computer.]
[At 31, you went to the coordinates.]
[After learning of this, the Ganwu Dojo dispatched an Immortal God to follow and protect you in secret.]
[When you reached the coordinates, you sensed a hidden space. You didn't open it on your own, but instead reported it to an Immortal instructor from the Ganwu Secret Realm.]
[The Ganwu Secret Realm took it very seriously, and the Immortal God Eleven arrived.]
[After opening it, Eleven discovered a new secret realm that had never been found before. It was quite vast, and the Wood Law was clearly evident. Since it was full of trees, they tentatively named it the Ancient Tree Secret Realm.]
[The Wood Law was clearly evident in the Ancient Tree Secret Realm, and you mainly focused on comprehending the Wood Law.]
[To find the best place for you to study the laws, ten Immortal Gods from the Ganwu Secret Realm quickly swept through the Ancient Tree Secret Realm. The Tree Person Race was nearly wiped out.]
[You were brought into the Ancient Tree World.]
[You discovered the Mysterious Ancient Tree.]
[Eleven told you that this Mysterious Ancient Tree was nurturing a Special Lifeform—the Wood Spirit. Its Gene Level was sixty times that of an ordinary lifeform, and it was favored by the Wood and Space Laws. It was immensely valuable.]
[At the same time,]
[He told you that if you could enter the Primal Secret Realm, the Ganwu Secret Realm would help the Wood Spirit finish developing faster, so you could possess it.]
[You were tempted.]
[Your higher access level had taught you that Special Lifeforms were far stronger than ordinary lifeforms. If you possessed the Wood Spirit, your future achievements would be even greater.]
[You cultivated in seclusion in the Ancient Tree World.]
[At 35, the Strongest Tournament began.]
[Your Law Comprehension was still at the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge. But compared to when you had just reached that level, you had now firmly established yourself and could strive for the sixth.]
[In the preliminaries, you claimed first place with overwhelming strength.]
[You and Nalan both qualified. Afterward, you saw the geniuses from other Universe Countries. The most famous was Naya, a genius from the Yunhen Universe Kingdom. You estimated that she had only just reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge.]
[You were brimming with confidence.]
[The higher the level of the Heavenly Bridge, the greater the gap between each level. At the same level, you could crush Naya, because your secret techniques were also extremely advanced.]
[The elimination rounds in the trial towers began, and you ranked first.]
[In the final arena battles, you won one fight after another. No one was your match. You were unquestionably the top competitor in this Strongest Tournament.]
[Nalan ranked 88th.]
[At 37, the Strongest Tournament ended.]
[You ranked first and qualified to enter the Primal Secret Realm. You also received a prize of 10,000 Hunyuan Units and 100,000 points. The Ganwu Dojo gave you another 10,000 Hunyuan Units, though no Ganwu Secret Realm points.]
[The Ganwu Universe Master was very pleased with you.]
[He set a condition: if you passed the seventh level before finishing your studies in the Initial Universe, he would accept you as a nominal disciple.]
[You were delighted.]
[After you left the Virtual Universe, the Immortal God Eleven handed you a World Ring and told you that the Wood Spirit had been perfected inside.]
[You obtained the Special Lifeform—the Wood Spirit.]
"It's mine."
Han Han was overjoyed.
[Eleven told you that possessing the Special Lifeform was also one of the tests set for you by the Ganwu Universe Master. At this point, the Wood Spirit would finish developing in three years. Its initial level would be the first order of Universe Rank.]
[You said you understood.]
[That same year, you boarded a spacecraft bound for the Virtual Universe Company.]
[You entered the World Ring to see the Wood Spirit and discovered that materials rich in life force had been placed around the Mysterious Ancient Tree. These were what had accelerated the Wood Spirit's development.]
[You thought of Locke Divine Water.]
[Locke Divine Water contained an immense amount of exceptionally pure life force, making it far more potent than these materials.]
[You took out some Locke Divine Water and poured it over the tree. The Mysterious Ancient Tree absorbed the abundant life force, and the Wood Spirit's development did indeed speed up.]
[But you noticed something strange.]
[After absorbing the Locke Divine Water, the Mysterious Ancient Tree stopped absorbing the other life-force materials. In other words, without the Locke Divine Water, its development stopped.]
[You hurriedly searched for information, but found no records that could help.]
[With no other choice, you could only keep pouring Locke Divine Water over it, hoping the Wood Spirit would finish developing sooner and minimize your losses.]
[But you didn't know]
[That the Locke Divine Water was not only speeding up the Wood Spirit's development, but also spurring its transformation. Once it finished developing, it would be an entirely new Special Lifeform with the Wood Spirit as its foundation.]
[At 38, you bought the Immortal blade technique Shadow Blade and the Immortal movement technique Flowing Body. With the Ganwu Universe Master's guidance, you also bought the first volume of the Mother Ancestor Secret Canon.]
[You began practicing.]
[At 39, after you had used up half your Locke Divine Water, the "Wood Spirit" finished developing. Its aura was nothing like what Eleven had described: it was at the third order of Universe Rank.]
[You accepted this.]
[After all, that was the only discrepancy. In every other way, it seemed exactly the same as described. You attributed the difference to the greater life force in the Locke Divine Water.]
[Newly developed lifeforms were at their most fragile. You hurriedly performed the Possession secret technique.]
[Unfortunately, something unexpected happened.]
[As your soul wrestled with the "Wood Spirit's," you discovered that its soul was not merely sixty times that of a third-order Universe Rank being. It was a hundred times as powerful. Its soul had already surpassed yours.]
[Once the Possession secret technique was performed, it could not be stopped.]
[You had prepared for this, but a fortyfold difference was no small matter. You gradually fell to the losing side, and the "Wood Spirit's" soul began to shatter yours bit by bit.]
[At the end of that year, your soul shattered.]
[You died.]
[This simulation has ended.]
