Child of Luck, Human Race in the Secret Realm

Zhou Yu returned to the barracks base of the 11th Outer Battlefield and initiated a simulation opportunity.

[Extracting simulation world.]

[Extraction successful. Target world: Swallowed Star World!]

"Oh?"

Zhou Yu was slightly surprised. Drawing an existing world again—it seemed the probability of doing so was indeed quite high.

[Extracting initial talent--]

[Extraction successful. Please choose from the following three talents.]

[1. Ethnic Leader--When leading an ethnic group to rise, many aspects will be improved.]

[2. Child of Luck--At birth, luck reaches an extremely high level.]

[3. Talent Replication--Can obtain one chance to replicate the core talent of a designated person.]

Zhou Yu pondered as he looked at the three talents. The potential of the first talent might be very high, but the starting difficulty was too great; he simply couldn't bring himself to choose it.

As for the second talent, Child of Luck, there was no need to say much; it was an old friend. Of the four simulations Zhou Yu had undergone, the only failure was contributed by this very talent.

But using this talent in the Swallowed Star World feels like it might have miraculous effects. Zhou Yu fell into deep thought. If he started as a direct descendant of a Universe Master, growing up would be much easier.

Moreover, in the event of a normal death, a Universe Master could reverse time and space to resurrect someone.

He just didn't know if dying within a simulation would grant the opportunity for a Universe Master to reverse time and space for resurrection.

Of course, that is assuming I can guarantee a start as a direct descendant of a Universe Master; in reality, that is also uncertain. Zhou Yu understood in his heart that perhaps his previous simulation where he chose "Child of Luck" had simply been a stroke of particularly good fortune.

As for the third, if I could replicate the core talent of a "Destined Protagonist," that would be very strong, but there might not be an opportunity in this simulation. Zhou Yu mused.

It has to be two.

Zhou Yu made his decision. Judging from the simulation in the Huntian World, the "Child of Luck" talent was still very powerful. If he could succeed, it would also be of no small help to him in reality.

Zhou Yu hesitated no longer and directly chose "Child of Luck." At this moment, lines of text appeared in succession.

[Please choose one from the following simulation targets.]

[1. Breakthrough to Immortal--Upon completion, you can obtain an Immortal clone and the 'Child of Luck' talent at 50% effectiveness.]

[2. Breakthrough to Venerable--Upon completion, you can obtain a Venerable clone and the full 'Child of Luck' talent.]

[3. Breakthrough to True God--Upon completion, you can obtain a True God clone and the 'Child of Luck' talent at 300% effectiveness.]

Compared to the last time I simulated the Swallowed Star World, the simulation targets have generally risen by one level, but there is no time limit. Zhou Yu noticed the issue.

Last time he simulated this world, the minimum requirement was only to become a peak World Lord, but this time it was Immortal.

As for the time issue, the previous simulation of the Desolate Era World hadn't had a time limit either.

Does a world only have a time limit during its first simulation?

Or is it that as my number of simulations increases, the targets become higher while the conditions become more lenient? Zhou Yu speculated.

Of course, he didn't dwell on it. Regardless, having no time limit was a good thing; it meant the success rate would skyrocket.

As for the choice...

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and ultimately chose two.

If he could become an Immortal, he would have infinite lifespan, and by relying on "Child of Luck" to accumulate slowly, there would still be hope of becoming a Venerable.

Conversely, if he failed during the breakthrough to Immortal, there would be no difference between choosing one or two.

The key was that the reward for successfully choosing one only provided 50% of the talent's effectiveness.

Once something like luck was halved, wouldn't its effect be greatly diminished?

As for choice three, it wasn't even worth mentioning.

Zhou Yu didn't believe that relying solely on "Child of Luck" could lead to becoming a True God. The opportunities in the Primal Universe and even the Universe Ocean were limited; without talent, having only luck meant there was no possibility of reaching that stage.

"Begin."

Zhou Yu didn't overthink it and made his choice directly.

At this moment, the simulation began.

[You are born carrying the memories from before your transmigration.]

[The unfamiliar environment quickly makes you realize you have transmigrated, but you do not see your mother at birth, only a man covered in blood.]

[You realize your start seems very poor, but before you can understand everything, the man leaves you and many supplies behind and departs.]

[You are stunned. Fortunately, although you are only an infant, your physical constitution is outrageously strong, already comparable to a five or six-year-old child from before your transmigration.]

[You survive by relying on some food left behind by the man.]

[You discover that you are in a bottomless cave with a dozen or so tunnels around you that lead to unknown places.]

[You understand that you cannot sit and wait for death, so you begin to learn the local language through some introductory books left by the man.]

[You learn the language very quickly. Before you know it, you have fully mastered an unfamiliar script. At this time, you also discover a letter left by the man from before; as you expected, he is indeed your father after transmigration.]

[Your father tells you that your ethnic group has suffered a disaster. The strongest member of the clan went missing unexpectedly, and this was discovered by a hostile group, who then launched a war of extermination. Your father was the primary target of the hostile group, so he left you here alone and went off to face the pursuit.]

[Your father also told you that he left behind a 'World Ring' containing one-tenth of your race's accumulated treasures. Once your mental power is sufficiently strong, you will be able to open the World Ring and obtain the treasures within.]

[Through your study of the enlightenment texts, you already knew this world was far from ordinary. Seeing the words 'World Ring' now, you understood this even more clearly.]

[For now, you can only pray not to be discovered by enemies while you continue to read more books. Gradually, you came to understand your situation: you have transmigrated to a place called the 'Endless Continent,' a land inhabited by numerous races, of which the human race is but one.]

[In the past, the human race possessed ten powerful god-level experts, and your patriarch even mastered the power of time, existing as a being beyond ordinary gods. However, the patriarch's accidental death brought a catastrophe upon the human race, leading to its annihilation at the hands of another massive race. Your father was a super genius within the race with the potential to become the next god-level expert, but now, everything has come to naught.]

[This heaven-collapsing start leaves you helpless, but you understand that you must survive.]

[Still an infant, you are temporarily unable to cultivate. You choose: One, quietly wait to grow up; Two, actively exercise your body in preparation for the future.]

"This..."

Zhou Yu stared at the simulation content, feeling somewhat dazed. Is this the start of a "Child of Luck"?

But the simulation had already begun, and Zhou Yu had no other choice; he decided to exercise his body.

Since his physical constitution at birth was already comparable to a five or six-year-old child on Earth, a little exercise wouldn't hurt, and proper training could help prevent an early death.

As Zhou Yu made his choice, a wave of memories flooded into his mind.

The identity in this simulation must be a human born in some cosmic secret realm. That so-called 'Endless Continent' must be a super-continent within this secret realm. Zhou Yu shook his head inwardly.

This background was far too poor.

The human race can generally be divided into three categories: humans born on normal cosmic planets, humans born in cosmic secret realms, and finally, humans born within the divine kingdoms of experts above the Immortal level.

In terms of potential, humans from cosmic nations are naturally the highest; almost all of the human race's top experts emerge from them.

Humans from divine kingdoms have the lowest potential, with a very slim chance of becoming Immortals.

As for the identity in this simulation—a secret realm human—the potential is better than that of divine kingdom humans, but not by much.

Secret realm humans have hope of becoming Immortals, but the hope of breaking through to become a Venerable is very slim.

I hope there can be a miracle. Zhou Yu sighed to himself. Without dwelling on it further, he continued the simulation.
