One Year of Simulation, Entering the Stellar Realm

"Tsk tsk~"

Han Han was somewhat shocked himself.

"I can't choose the first one; it's too high," Han Han pondered. "As for the second, it's simply too high-profile. If I were a Universe Rank, people would just call me a genius, but a Planetary Rank having it is suspicious."

Under normal circumstances.

The lower the realm, the harder it is to comprehend the laws. Even with the consciousness of a World Lord, many fail to gain recognition from the origin laws of the universe, so for him, a Planetary Rank... it was simply too absurd.

Even a genius has to have a limit!

The most critical issue was that he had no way to hide the recognition of the origin laws. While the fluctuations of the universe's origin were easy to resolve, he currently had no way to deal with the law imprint on his forehead.

Unless he planned never to leave his room again, remaining in seclusion until he reached the Universe Rank to participate in the Strongest Tournament.

He didn't mind that, though; he could just simulate!

"I definitely have to choose the third. A perfected Falling Wood Seven Kill Blade has already reached the 100-fold force limit. This is far more precious than the fourth, not to mention the first three volumes of the Mother Ancestor Secret Canon aren't about comprehension." Han Han ruled out the fourth and decided to choose the third.

"As for the rest..."

"1.5 billion Hunyuan Units is not a small amount, and the system is even giving me a new bank card. I can use that identity."

Selection +1.

"The others can be ruled out. Finally, I'll choose between the eighth and the tenth," Han Han thought to himself.

Option eight was special lifeform materials. He absolutely couldn't obtain them on his own right now; after all, to gestate a Clone, he needed materials from lifeforms below the Immortal God level, and their realm couldn't be too high.

Option ten was a special lifeform directly.

"Although a Wood Spirit is a special lifeform and extremely valuable, I can't sell it right now..."

"Wait!"

Han Han suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled upward. "Why would I sell it? For someone like me who can simulate, obtaining wealth isn't difficult at all."

For example, if he sold the Locke Divine Water this time, he could immediately obtain 1.5 billion Hunyuan Units.

But the Wood Spirit was different.

The innate secret technique of a Wood Spirit is Wood Fusion, which allows a World Lord level nine plant lifeform to possess the strength to kill ordinary Immortal Gods. To Han Han, this was far more useful than selling it.

By enslaving the Wood Spirit and cultivating it to the peak of the World Lord level or even to an Immortal God, combined with his Spirit Silk Grass plant lifeform...

"An ordinary World Lord level plant lifeform combined with a World Lord level Wood Spirit can kill an ordinary Immortal God. My Spirit Silk Grass possesses Ten Thousand Silk; its strength is already several times that of an ordinary plant lifeform."

Immediately, Han Han whispered, "Select three, five, and ten."

One Wood Spirit wasn't enough; he planned to select ten more Wood Spirits later, striving to equip every one of his plant lifeforms with one.

[Rewards distributed]

"Boom~"

A massive amount of memories flooded into his mind.

The Falling Wood Seven Kill Blade: every move and stance was a killing blow. The final strike converged like falling leaves returning to their roots, yet it contained all the power of the previous six strikes.

A moment later, the seven blades were mastered!

Han Han reached out and grabbed a silver battle blade that appeared out of thin air, subconsciously beginning to practice.

Unfortunately.

Although he had comprehended all the mysteries, the burden of the later moves on his body was too great. Forcing them would yield no benefits; in short, his realm was too low.

"It's time to break through to the Star Rank, but before that, I should milk everything I can."

Han Han sat cross-legged.

In fact, as long as he didn't make too many changes, the one-month cooldown wouldn't have much impact on the simulation results, and the treasures available would naturally be similar.

As for the bank card and the Wood Spirit, Han Han didn't take them out yet.

His wealth was already quite suspicious; while the higher-ups might not care about a few tens of thousands of Hunyuan Units, adding the Locke Divine Water he produced—which could be the legacy of some Immortal God—was one thing.

But if he kept taking things out one after another, who would believe there wasn't a problem?

And the Wood Spirit.

One extra might be considered good luck, but with two, the Chaos City Lord would definitely investigate whether you had a way to stably obtain Wood Spirit lifeforms.

Of course.

Perhaps taking them out wouldn't be a problem, but there was no need. Why not just farm enough treasures first and then take them out later?

Time passed bit by bit.

The next simulation went exactly as Han Han expected. The perfected Falling Wood Seven Kill Blade only made him more talented, but it didn't change the outcome much.

Apart from the difference in secret technique comprehension, there was an additional option for a nutrition pod.

[Five: One D9 and one E9 nutrition pod each]

Perhaps because he was nearing a breakthrough to the World Lord level, the Virtual Universe Company had prepared an E9 nutrition pod in advance, whereas the last time, only a D-grade one was available, which wasn't even worth listing as an option.

Although he possessed Locke Divine Water, the nutrient pod could autonomously facilitate evolution.

Furthermore.

He could use it to cultivate Wood Spirits, as the nutrient solution prepared for him by the Virtual Universe Company was at least 200 times more potent than what a standard World Lord would use for evolution, capable of nurturing a World Lord rank Wood Spirit in a short time.

Therefore, this time he chose Wood Spirits, plant lifeform materials, and a nutrient pod.

After making his selections, he waited quietly for the next cycle.

Unknowingly, a year passed by.

"It's about time."

Han Han made his selections; this time, he chose new secret technique insights, combat experience, and Wood Spirits.

Including the initial time, he had made a total of 39 selections.

13 Wood Spirits.

1 set of new secret technique insights, obtaining three top-tier Immortal secret techniques: the blade technique Shadow Blade, the movement technique Flowing Body, and the soul secret technique Soul Capture, with Soul Capture also possessing enslavement capabilities.

1 set of combat experience.

This was experience cultivated through the Virtual Universe Company's system, supplemented by guidance from the Ganwu Universe Master.

10 nutrient pods.

Providing the foundation for himself, his Wood Spirits, and even his plant lifeforms to rapidly break through to the peak of their respective ranks.

1 set of plant lifeform materials.

Although Han Han did not need them for the moment, having them on hand meant he wouldn't be helpless when the time came to use them.

2 Cloud-Touching Vines and 2 breakthrough materials.

Used to cultivate Marquis Rank Cloud-Touching Vines and Spirit Silk Grass, ensuring that his safety—both in reality and in simulations—would be greatly guaranteed.

If one were to ask why he didn't cultivate them himself.

The ones selected were already at the seventh stage of the World Lord rank; cultivating them from seedlings to this level would likely take nearly a hundred years.

Getting them early meant an extra layer of protection for his life.

1 copy of the first four volumes of the Mother Ancestor Secret Canon.

These were secret techniques corresponding to the Chaos Stele; while comprehending them wasn't as terrifyingly effective as being in Chaos City, they still provided one or two tenths of the benefit.

1 set of equipment.

Top-tier F9 grade equipment, sufficient for combat up to the peak Marquis Rank, and could even be used sparingly between King Ranks.

7 instances of wealth, totaling 10.5 billion Hunyuan Units; in terms of cash alone, he was wealthier than most King Ranks, and if his own strength were sufficient, he could purchase the vast majority of items.

[Rewards distributed]

The secret technique insights and combat experience began to manifest, and another Wood Spirit appeared within the System Space.

A moment later, the absorption was complete.

In fact, having absorbed so many laws and secret technique insights, Han Han's willpower had already reached the Universe Rank without him realizing it; otherwise, this massive influx of memories alone would have been enough to crush a Planetary Rank.

"It's time to break through."

Han Han smiled slightly as the nine miniature planets within his dantian began to rotate at high speed, eventually colliding and condensing into a single miniature star.

"Boom!"

Without any obstruction, the first stage of the Star Rank was achieved!

Unfortunately, his comprehension of laws and secret techniques was too high; even after breaking through to the Star Rank, the oppressive feeling had not completely dissipated, merely eased.

"I hope the ninth stage of the Star Rank will resolve it."

"Beep!"

His arm guard emitted a notification; there was an email. Han Han entered the virtual universe and couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Ganwu Auction?"

"Why didn't I encounter this in the simulations?"
