Zhou Yu quickly returned to the Zhou Clan.
At this point, he increasingly felt that the mysterious man was someone from the Seamless Gate. Although the Seamless Gate had yet to reveal itself in the Great Xia World, it had surely begun laying its plans long ago.
Given the strength he had displayed, it was hardly strange for them to take notice of him.
Zhou Yu had initially been unwilling to reveal his full strength precisely because he had considered this possibility. But Celestial immortal's appearance had left him no choice but to go all out.
"We'll just have to take things one step at a time." Zhou Yu pondered for a moment before his thoughts stirred.
[Begin drawing a simulation world?]
A line of text appeared before Zhou Yu.
Celestial Huoyun had died. Although Zhou Yu had not delivered the final blow, he had participated in the siege and had still absorbed a great deal of Origin Energy.
The Origin Energy provided by a Top-Tier Celestial Immortal was immense, immediately granting Zhou Yu another opportunity to simulate.
"Draw."
Zhou Yu chose to draw without hesitation. In an instant, time around him froze.
[Drawing world.] [Draw successful. This simulation world is the Desolate Era World!]
"Hm?"
When Zhou Yu saw those words, his eyes immediately lit up.
Still, it was not too surprising.
The chances of drawing a world where he already had a clone were indeed higher. Drawing the Desolate Era World on his second attempt was perfectly normal.
[Drawing initial Talent--] [Draw successful. Please choose one of the following three talents.] [One, Balanced Talent--Talent in any path reaches an average level.] [Two, Child of Luck--You possess extremely great luck after transmigrating.] [Three, Enlightenment Genius--Your comprehension reaches an extremely high level at birth.]
"Hm? These three talents?" Zhou Yu quickly considered them.
The third talent was clearly inferior to the previous "Potential Amplification." Being born with extremely high talent only meant faster early growth; the upper limit might not be particularly high.
Take True Immortal Jun Wu, for example. He had comprehended an entire Dao overnight as a child, his comprehension practically heaven-defying, yet even after endless years, he had failed to become a Dao Ancestor.
After thinking it over, Zhou Yu eliminated the third talent. That left only the first and second.
"The second one." Zhou Yu made his decision.
The description of the first talent seemed rather mediocre. Besides, it would not be much help to him in reality. Where did he have the energy to divide his attention among comprehending more Daos?
Even though Zhou Yu did not particularly like luck beyond his control, the second option was more useful overall.
After Zhou Yu made his choice, the simulation objectives soon appeared.
[Please choose one of the following simulation objectives.] [One, Become a Celestial Immortal or Empyrean God within one hundred thousand years--Upon completion, you may obtain a Celestial Immortal or Empyrean God clone, as well as the talent 'Child of Luck' at fifty percent effectiveness.] [Two, Become a True Immortal or True God within one million years--Upon completion, you may obtain a True Immortal or True God clone, as well as the complete talent 'Child of Luck.'] [Three, Become an Ancestor Immortal or Elder God within one hundred million years--Upon completion, you may obtain an Elder God or Ancestor Immortal clone, as well as the talent 'Child of Luck' at three hundred percent effectiveness.]
"These objectives..."
Zhou Yu fell into deep thought.
With the experience from last time, Zhou Yu knew very well that if the simulation succeeded, he would inherit all of the clone's memories and experiences.
Even if it failed, he would continuously gain the memories and experiences accumulated by the clone during the simulation.
In other words, even a failed simulation would still bring him tremendous benefits.
"It's only a simulation anyway. I choose the third objective!" Zhou Yu made his choice.
Even if the simulation failed, it would be a failure on the path toward becoming an Elder God or Ancestor Immortal.
The simulation began swiftly.
[You were born carrying your memories from before transmigration.] [You were extraordinary from birth. Auspicious light filled the heavens, time reversed, and heaven and earth flowed backward.] [You were born as a Primordial Spirit God and Devil.] [You were greatly shocked and could not figure out where you had transmigrated to.] [Only after learning that your mother was a True Immortal and your father an Elder God did you finally realize that you had transmigrated to the Desolate Era World. However, the place you were in did not seem to be the Three Realms, but a place called 'Huntian World.']
"This?"
Zhou Yu stared blankly at the simulation's contents. He had actually transmigrated into the Son of the Ancestral God. What kind of heaven-defying start was this?
But he soon realized that this was likely the effect of "Child of Luck."
He had possessed extremely great luck from the beginning. With great luck, naturally he could be born into a good family.
The simulation continued.
[As time passed, you gradually learned more. Your father was known as the Nine Spirits Ancestral God. He was an Elder God who had mastered the Heavenly Dao of Time when Chaos first opened. He had many beloved concubines, and your mother was merely one of them.] [You were the twelfth son of the Nine Spirits Ancestral God. He valued you greatly, and you began cultivating smoothly.] [You were a naturally born Primordial Spirit God and Devil, born with mastery over part of the Power of Time. Thus, you gradually embarked upon the Path of Time.] [At one hundred and ten years old, your cultivation of the 'Great Path of Time' reached the Great Path Domain, and you broke through to become a Return to Void God and Devil. At this point, you chose: one, remain by your mother's side and cultivate; two, leave and gain experience.]
"With the soul foundation of a Primordial Spirit God and Devil, along with resources provided by an Elder God, he only comprehended the Great Path Domain at one hundred and ten?" Zhou Yu could not help shaking his head. This talent was far too ordinary.
Still, it was not strange. This simulation did not have the talent "Potential Amplification," so his comprehension would not endlessly undergo massive growth through tempering.
"Get out there and gain experience already."
Zhou Yu immediately made his choice. With the "Child of Luck" talent, staying inside would be such a waste.
As Zhou Yu made his choice, an enormous flood of memories surged into his mind.
"Hm?"
Zhou Yu focused as he absorbed those memories.
He swiftly grasped the mysteries of the "Great Path of Time."
"This Great Path of Time is indeed quite different from the Path of Time in the Three Realms." Zhou Yu pondered inwardly.
That was not strange. The Daos of different Chaos worlds were inherently different. Not to mention that in the Huntian World, time was a Heavenly Dao, while the Great Path of Time merely leaned more toward a certain aspect of time.
[The Huntian World was incomparably vast. After leaving home, you freely traveled across the endless lands. You watched the sun rise and set, watched countless scenes drift past, and felt incomparable peace in your heart. Your heart gradually changed, and you calmed yourself to begin comprehending the Great Path.] [Your luck was extraordinarily great. You encountered many resources during your travels, as well as many friends. You concealed your identity as the Son of the Ancestral God and tempered yourself and fought alongside them.] [At three thousand years old, you encountered a mysterious old man. He recognized your identity and offered you guidance, from which you felt you benefited greatly.] [Afterward, the old man asked whether you were willing to take him as your master. At this point, you chose: one, become his disciple. Two, refuse.]
"This..."
After thinking it over, Zhou Yu chose to agree.
Memories of the past three thousand years flooded into his mind. Zhou Yu sighed inwardly. Although his simulated self had encountered quite a few opportunities during this time, his progress had not been great.
[After becoming his disciple, you soon learned that the old man was also an Elder God: Muliu Ancestral God, who had been born with mastery over the Heavenly Dao of Space. Yet when Muliu Ancestral God taught you, he was clearly also highly skilled in the Path of Time. You realized that he was a terrifying existence who cultivated both time and space.] [The matter of you becoming Muliu Ancestral God's disciple soon reached the Nine Spirits Ancestral God. He did not say much, merely having someone deliver some treasures and manuals to you.] [You studied under Muliu Ancestral God, and your understanding of the Great Path of Time grew ever deeper.] [At five thousand nine hundred years old, you bade farewell to your master and set out on another journey.] [At seven thousand eight hundred years old, you accidentally picked up a Bronze Mirror. To your surprise, you discovered that it actually contained an inheritance.]
