Simulation Again

Zhou Yu quickly returned to the Zhou Clan.

At this moment, he felt increasingly certain that the mysterious figure belonged to the Seamless Gate. Although the Seamless Gate had yet to reveal itself in the Great Xia World, they were undoubtedly laying their plans well in advance.

Given the strength he had displayed, it was no surprise that he had caught their eye.

Zhou Yu had originally been unwilling to reveal his full strength precisely because of this concern, but the appearance of Celestial immortal had forced him to go all out.

I suppose I'll just have to take things one step at a time, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, his thoughts shifting.

[Do you wish to begin drawing a simulation world?]

A line of text appeared before Zhou Yu.

Although Zhou Yu had not delivered the final blow that killed Celestial Huoyun, his participation in the siege had allowed him to absorb a significant amount of origin energy.

The origin energy provided by a top-tier Celestial Immortal was immense, immediately granting Zhou Yu a new opportunity for simulation.

"Draw."

Zhou Yu chose to draw without hesitation, and in an instant, time around him stood still.

[Drawing world.]

[Draw successful. The simulation world for this session is the Desolate Era World!]

"Hmm?"

Seeing this line of text, Zhou Yu's eyes lit up.

However, it was not entirely unexpected.

The probability of drawing a world where he already had a clone was indeed higher, so it was quite normal to draw the Desolate Era World on his second attempt.

[Drawing initial talent--]

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

[1. Balanced Talent--All path talents reach an average level.]

[2. Child of Luck--Possess extremely high luck after transmigrating.]

[3. Dao Enlightenment Genius--Enlightenment reaches an extremely high level at birth.]

Hmm? These three talents? Zhou Yu quickly deliberated.

Talent 3 was clearly inferior to his previous "Potential Amplification." Having high innate enlightenment at birth only meant rapid early growth, but it did not necessarily guarantee a high ceiling.

Take Jun Wu True Immortal, for example; he had comprehended an entire Dao in a single night as a child, an enlightenment that could be called heaven-defying, yet he had not become a Dao Ancestor even after long, long ages.

After some thought, Zhou Yu ruled out Talent 3, leaving only Talent 1 and 2.

"I'll go with Talent 2," Zhou Yu decided.

Talent 1 sounded mediocre, and it wouldn't be of much help to him in reality; he had no energy to spare for comprehending more Daos anyway.

Even though Zhou Yu didn't particularly like relying on uncontrollable luck, all things considered, the second option was more useful.

Once Zhou Yu selected his talent, the simulation targets soon appeared.

[Please select one of the following simulation targets.]

[1. Successfully undergo the Tribulation and become a Celestial Immortal or Empyrean God within 100,000 years--Upon completion, obtain a Celestial Immortal or Empyrean God clone and 50% of the effect of the 'Child of Luck' talent.]

[2. Become a True Immortal or True God within 1,000,000 years--Upon completion, obtain a True Immortal or True God clone and the full 'Child of Luck' talent.]

[3. Become an Ancestral Immortal or Ancestral God within 100,000,000 years--Upon completion, obtain an Ancestral God or Ancestral Immortal clone and 300% of the effect of the 'Child of Luck' talent.]

"This target..."

Zhou Yu fell into deep thought.

With his previous experience, Zhou Yu knew clearly that if the simulation succeeded, he would inherit all the memories and experiences of the clone.

Even if he failed, he would still continuously acquire the memories and experiences of the clone's growth during the simulation process.

In other words, even if the simulation failed, he would still gain immense benefits.

"It's a simulation anyway, I choose target 3!" Zhou Yu made his choice.

Even if the simulation failed, it would be a failure on the path to becoming an Ancestral God or Ancestral Immortal.

The simulation began rapidly.

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

[You are extraordinary at birth; rays of light span ten thousand zhang, time reverses, and heaven and earth flow backward.]

[You are a Primordial Spirit God and Devil at birth.]

[You are extremely shocked, unable to figure out where you have transmigrated to.]

[It is not until you learn that your mother is a True Immortal and your father is an Ancestral God that you finally realize you have transmigrated to the Desolate Era World, though the place you are in does not seem to be the Three Realms, but a place called the 'Huntian World'.]

"This?"

Zhou Yu stared blankly at the simulation content. He had actually transmigrated as the Son of the Ancestral God—what kind of heaven-defying start was this?

However, he soon realized that this must be the effect of the "Child of Luck" talent.

He possessed extremely high luck from the very beginning; with such high luck, he was naturally able to be born into a good family.

The simulation continued.

[As time passed, you gradually learned more. Your father is known as the Nine Spirits Ancestral God, an Ancestral God who mastered the Heavenly Path of Time when the chaos first opened. He has many beloved concubines, and your mother is merely one of them.]

[You are the twelfth son of the Nine Spirits Ancestral God. He values you quite highly, and you began your cultivation very smoothly.]

[You are a natural Primordial Spirit God and Devil, born with mastery over a portion of the Power of Time, so you gradually embarked upon the path of time.]

[At the age of one hundred and ten, you reached the Great Path Domain realm in your cultivation of the "Great Path of Time" and broke through to become a Return to Void God and Devil. At this moment, you choose: one, continue to stay by your mother's side to cultivate; two, leave to gain experience in the outside world.]

With the soul foundation of a Primordial Spirit God and Devil, and the resources provided by an Ancestral God, it took one hundred and ten years just to comprehend the Great Path Domain realm? Zhou Yu could not help but shake his head; this talent was far too mediocre.

However, it was not surprising. This simulation lacked the "Potential Boost" talent, and his comprehension would not grow boundlessly and significantly through tempering.

"Hurry up and go out to gain experience."

Zhou Yu made his choice immediately. With the "Child of Luck" talent, not going out would be a complete waste.

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

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yu focused his mind to absorb these memories.

The mysteries of the "Great Path of Time" were rapidly mastered by him.

This Great Path of Time is indeed quite different from the Path of Time in the Three Realms, Zhou Yu pondered inwardly.

This was not strange; the paths of different chaotic worlds were inherently different, not to mention that in the Huntian World, time was a Heavenly Path, and the Great Path of Time was merely more biased toward a certain aspect of time.

[The Huntian World is incomparably vast. After leaving home, you roamed wantonly across the endless land. You watched the sun rise and set, and countless sceneries pass by, feeling only an incomparable tranquility in your heart. Your heart gradually changed, and you settled down to begin contemplating the Great Path.]

[Your luck was extremely high. You encountered many resources while out, and you also met many good friends. You hid your identity as the Son of the Ancestral God and tempered yourself and fought alongside them.]

[At the age of 3,000, you encountered a mysterious old man. He recognized your identity and gave you some pointers, from which you felt you benefited greatly.]

[Afterward, the old man asked if you were willing to take him as your master. At this moment, you choose: one, accept him as your master; two, refuse.]

"This..."

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and chose to agree.

The memories of the past three thousand years flooded into his mind. Zhou Yu sighed inwardly; during this period, although his simulated self had many opportunities, his progress was not actually that great.

[After taking him as your master, you quickly learned that the old man was also an Ancestral God—the Muliu Ancestral God, who was born with mastery over the Heavenly Path of Space. However, when Muliu Ancestral God taught you, it was clear that he was also extremely proficient in the path of time. You realized that this was a terrifying existence who cultivated both time and space.]

[The news of you taking Muliu Ancestral God as your master quickly reached the Nine Spirits Ancestral God. He did not say much, merely sending people to deliver some treasures and secret manuals to you.]

[You followed Muliu Ancestral God to learn, and your insights into the Great Path of Time grew increasingly profound.]

[At the age of 5,900, you bid farewell to your master and set foot on your journey once again.]

[At the age of 7,800, you accidentally picked up a bronze mirror. You were pleasantly surprised to discover that it contained a legacy.]
