[You accepted the patrol captain's invitation and joined the White Sand City Lord's residence as an inner guard.]
[After becoming an inner guard, you gained access to more resources. The patrol captain thought highly of you and believed you had a small chance of becoming a god in the future.]
[You were poor. Fortunately, you were in the Divine Realm, where simply breathing and absorbing energy was enough to meet your cultivation needs, allowing you to gradually grow from the Sky Flying level toward the Saint level.]
[At thirty, you discovered the Profundity of Particles and began to study it continuously.]
[At thirty-one, you comprehended the Profundity of Particles.]
"The Particle True Meaning is a Third-Grade True Meaning, if I remember right. If I break through again, I'll reach the Micro-particle True Meaning. If I take either of these paths to its limit, I should be able to comprehend the Matter True Meaning."
Wu Yun felt he had chosen a difficult path.
In most cases, only Fourth Heaven World Gods gradually began to master the Matter God Heart. It was rare to see lower-level World Gods master it.
Sword Master's Extinction Profound Body centered on the Matter God Heart, while Demon Ancestor's Myriad Demon True Body also involved many aspects of matter.
Fortunately, Wu Yun only wanted to become a god first.
Though Lord Xue Ying World and Swallowed Star World shared the same universe, they placed very different levels of importance on the will of the heart.
In Lord Xue Ying World, gods and even World Gods could suffer a collapse of their Divine Hearts if their wills weren't strong enough.
In Swallowed Star World, if an Immortal had a Holy Land Universe, they could live for hundreds of Reincarnation Eras.
[At forty-one, your research into the Profundity of Particles advanced once more, reaching the second level of the Myriad Things Realm.]
[At forty-three, the patrol captain opened his Divine Sea and became a god with a Fourth-Grade God Heart. He was promoted and had to leave, so after work he invited his colleagues out for drinks. You got utterly drunk.]
Wu Yun guessed this patrol unit wasn't a very high-ranking one. The captain hadn't even been a god before, and the Divine Heart he formed upon opening his Divine Sea was only Fourth-Grade.
It was very difficult to become a god with a Fourth-Grade God Heart. That was only possible in the Divine Realm; at this level, success was all but impossible in a material world.
The White Sand City Lord's residence had inner and outer guards. The outer guards had the same role Wu Yun had once held, standing watch. The inner guards were divided into bodyguards and patrol units.
The bodyguards were all gods, while the patrol units were made up of Transcendents. After the old captain became a god, he could join the bodyguards, changing his status and position.
[The new patrol captain treated you well. More than once, he said he wanted you to marry his daughter, but you had too much weighing on you to have any interest in romance.]
[You kept studying the Particle True Meaning. Since you were an inner guard in White Sand City, the City Lord's residence invested in you to some extent, and you began to have more resources. You could now buy items that helped with cultivation.]
[At fifty-five, you accumulated your strength and finally reached the third level of the Myriad Things Realm.]
[At fifty-six, you broke through to the Saint level. You cultivated faster than anyone else on the team, and your high level of cultivation made you a strong fighter even among Saints.]
This pace was merely decent in the Divine Realm, but astonishing in a material world.
Cultivation in the Divine Realm was mainly about energy, and it had the advantage in resources. As for comprehension, you still had to rely on yourself.
[At seventy-five, you accumulated your strength and comprehended the Third-Grade Particle True Meaning. You became a Demigod through it, and everyone thought you would form a True Self God Heart before you turned a thousand.]
After comprehending a True Meaning, you still needed to break through the three stages.
[At one hundred and twenty-seven, you discovered the Profundity of Micro-particles and realized it was the legendary path of Second-Grade True Meaning. You now had to choose: A: study the Profundity of Micro-particles; B: keep cultivating the Particle True Meaning.]
Wu Yun chose A. Even if he formed a Third-Grade God Heart, it wouldn't meet the requirements.
[At one hundred and thirty-five, the City Lord, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly returned to White Sand City. You also heard that the Myriad Flower Banquet, held once every ten million years, was about to begin. You realized Dongbo Xueying was probably going to attend this one.]
[The inner guards' rules became much stricter, and you now had far less time to go out.]
[As one of the few Demigods in the patrol units, you were transferred to lead the South City division, with more than three thousand Transcendents under your command.]
"I'm finally an official," Wu Yun said with a sigh.
[At one hundred and ninety-five, the inner guard commander wanted you to marry his daughter. You now had to choose: A: accept; B: refuse.]
"Why does everyone want me to marry their daughter?" After thinking it over, Wu Yun chose to accept. The inner guard commander had a much higher position, after all.
Connections mattered in the Divine Realm.
[Your partner was exceptionally beautiful. Many guests came to your wedding, and even the White Sand City Lord made an appearance to show his support. You excitedly toasted him.]
[At two hundred, you accumulated your strength and finally cultivated the Profundity of Micro-particles to the Myriad Things Realm.]
[At two hundred and thirty-five, you finally overcame your psychological trauma. You could close your eyes without recalling that day's events, and your cultivation went much more smoothly.]
Wu Yun's talent had always been pretty good. That was why, even when he got the Distinguished Background trait, he could still reach a middling level—for instance, becoming a Heavenly Immortal in Desolate Era World or a World Lord in Swallowed Star World.
This time, his progress in the simulation was slow. It seemed his state of mind had something to do with it.
[At two hundred and forty-one, you comprehended the second level of the Myriad Things Realm in the Profundity of Micro-particles.]
[At two hundred and sixty, your Profundity of Micro-particles reached the third level of the Myriad Things Realm, and you began trying to form a True Meaning.]
[You successfully formed a True Meaning and mastered a Second-Grade True Meaning!]
[Word of your mastery of a Second-Grade True Meaning spread, and the inner guard commander made an exception and promoted you to the bodyguards.]
[Gods with a Second-Grade God Heart held a respectable position in White Sand City, so the higher-ups decided to invest in you, hoping you could form a Second-Grade True Self God Heart.]
"From here on, things should go smoothly. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I can keep building up my strength and reliably form a Divine Heart." Wu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
The White Sand City Lord held a high position in the Divine Realm. Though Bloodblade God Emperor had expelled him from his tutelage, he could still trade on that connection, and in the future, he would have Xue Ying as a brother.
[At two hundred and seventy-five, your child was born. It was a boy.]
[At two hundred and eighty, your Micro-particle True Meaning reached the second stage.]
[At two hundred and ninety, your son's talent proved exceptional. At just fifteen, he comprehended the rudiments of a Second-Grade True Meaning. When the White Sand City Lord heard, he rushed over to take him as a disciple and insisted that you keep it a secret.]
"Fifteen, and he's already comprehended the rudiments of a Second-Grade True Meaning?!" Wu Yun stared at those lines in disbelief. This kind of talent was probably second only to the legendary geniuses.
Qing Jun was born a Transcendent and mastered the rudiments of a First-Grade True Meaning as a child. By three hundred, he had become a World God. That was truly terrifying talent.
Several True God Sovereigns had even fought over the chance to take him as a disciple.
[At three hundred and seven, your son's Space True Meaning reached the second stage. His cultivation speed was frightening, and thanks to him, the White Sand City Lord treated you generously, granting you many precious resources and personally giving you guidance.]
"..." Wu Yun fell silent. This was another kind of distinguished background.
[With the White Sand City Lord's guidance, you made rapid progress. At three hundred and twenty, you mastered the third stage of the Micro-particle True Meaning. Your next step was to form a True Self God Heart.]
[But there was still a gap between the Divine Heart level and the third stage. You needed to keep building your foundation.]
[At three hundred and thirty, your son's Space True Meaning reached the third stage.]
"Third stage of the Space True Meaning at fifty-five. He'll probably become a god when he's just over a hundred. I wonder if he can become a World God within a thousand years." Wu Yun was astonished.
He wondered when he would ever have talent like that.
[At three hundred and thirty-five, you told your son about the assassination attempt from back then and urged him to cultivate diligently. One day, he could ask a powerful being to resurrect his grandparents.]
[At five hundred and twenty-three, you formed a True Self God Heart, opened your Divine Sea, and became a god.]
[Simulation complete... ]
