Chapter 13

When conducting the simulation, Zhou Yu's avatar needed to actively initiate it; the first two times were in the Vast Wasteland Chronicle World where he initiated it, this time he simply directly initiated the simulation in the Devouring Starry Sky World.

【Whether to start drawing the simulation world?】

A line of text appeared before Zhou Yu again, and as he chose to draw, another line of text appeared.

【Drawing the world.】

【Draw successful, this simulation world is the Azure Primordial Map World!】

"Azure Primordial Map World?"

Zhou Yu was stunned; this world indeed somewhat went against his wishes, after all, achieving "eternal life" in this world is too difficult, and the lifespans of beings are absurdly short; even if the simulation succeeds, it's possible that he just gained an avatar not long ago, and the avatar would die of old age.

However, since the draw already happened, let's just simulate; if the simulation succeeds, we still get a talent, which is not bad.

【Drawing the initial talent——】

【Draw successful, please choose one of the following three talents.】

【One, Focused Mind——When focused, it's easier to enter epiphany.】

【Two, Cultivation Prodigy——At birth, all aspects possess extremely high talent.】

【Three, Indestructible True Spirit——After death, the true spirit does not perish, retaining memory and randomly reincarnating (limited to once).】

Zhou Yu quickly glanced over the three talents, then fell into contemplation.

Last time when choosing a talent, he made a mistake, focusing too much on how the talent helps him in reality, while neglecting how it helps him in the simulation.

You should know, if the simulation fails, that talent cannot manifest at all, equivalent to not choosing.

However, if it's not very useful for him in reality, that's also not advisable.

"Talent Three is most useful for me; if I had this talent, I could directly reincarnate in the Vast Wasteland Chronicle World." Zhou Yu sighed inwardly; he really wanted to choose this, but feared that if the simulation failed, everything would come to nothing.

After all, if the talent isn't enough, even reincarnating ten or eight times would be useless, not to mention this talent can only be used once.

"Talent Two, then; after thinking carefully, this talent's effect is the most likely to lead to simulation success; only if the simulation succeeds does the choice have meaning." Zhou Yu quickly made a decision.

And after Zhou Yu made his choice, the simulation target quickly appeared.

【Please choose one of the following simulation targets.】

【One, become a King God Demon or equivalent lifeform——after completion, obtain a King God Demon or equivalent lifeform avatar and the talent 'Dao-Comprehending Genius' with fifty percent effect.】

【Two, become a Creation Venerable or equivalent lifeform——after completion, obtain a Creation Venerable or equivalent lifeform avatar and the full talent 'Dao-Comprehending Genius'.】

【Three, become an Emperor——after completion, obtain an Emperor avatar and three times the effect of the talent 'Dao-Comprehending Genius'.】

Zhou Yu thought it over and still chose target two.

At this moment, time around his avatar instantly froze, lines of text began to appear, and the simulation started.

【You were born.】

【The unfamiliar environment lets you realize you have crossed into another world; as merely an infant, you can only silently observe everything and learn the local language.】

【At three years old, you have a decent understanding of this world; you gradually realize you seem to have crossed into the Azure Primordial Map World, but this world lacks the demons from your memory, so you guess you may have crossed into the era before the demons' descent.】

【Your luck is not bad; you have crossed into a God Demon family within the Great Zhou Dynasty, being a direct descendant of the family.】

【At six years old, under the family's arrangement you began martial arts training, and after consideration you chose to practice swordsmanship.】

【Your talent makes you feel incredulous; after three months of sword practice, your swordsmanship skill has reached the unity of body, mind, and technique.】

【At this moment you choose: one, conceal your cultivation; two, actively reveal your talent.】

"Is this what the 'Cultivation Prodigy' talent is worth? Reaching this step in three months?" Zhou Yu sighed inwardly; it seems his thought was correct, choosing this talent is indeed the most likely to help him succeed in the simulation.

"Choose two."

Zhou Yu thought it over and still chose the second option; this reincarnation identity is also not bad, revealing his talent should be fine.

As Zhou Yu's choice came forth, many memories surged, and the simulation continued.

【Your talent quickly startled the family's God Demon Elder; he strictly ordered that anyone knowing of this keep it secret, and personally brought you to his side for cultivation.】

【At seven and a half years old, you comprehended sword momentum.】

【At nine years old, you mastered sword intent.】

【At twelve years old, you entered the Sword Soul Realm.】

【At this moment, the God Demon Elder of your family's clan has been utterly astonished; he frankly says he can no longer teach you, and wishes to send you to the sect's Primordial Beginning Mountain for careful cultivation; at this moment you choose: one, continue to cultivate within the family; two, agree to enter Primordial Beginning Mountain.】

"Two." Zhou Yu directly chose two.

【After being brought to Primordial Beginning Mountain, the entire mountain soon trembled; the contemporary Creation Venerable Li Guan personally came forward to accept you as a disciple.】

【At fifteen years old, under Primordial Beginning Mountain's cultivation, you cultivated the Thirteen Sword Slaughter God Demon Body and broke through to become a God Demon.】

【In the same year, you reached the Dao Realm, and by probing your heart with the sword Dao, you reached the first layer of the Primordial Spirit.】

【At sixteen years old, your master tells you he will take you to a mysterious place.】

【You soon realize the place you're going to should be the Azure Primordial Grotto-Heaven left by the Azure Primordial Ancestor, containing many treasures and legacies brought back from beyond the realm by the Azure Primordial Ancestor, the highest-value existence in the entire Azure Primordial Realm.】

You entered the Cangyuan Cave Heaven, in a daze you obtained a strange treasure that merged into your primordial spirit. After a period of experimentation, you gradually understood its function: it allows you to see the changes of heavenly and earthly laws more clearly, and in battle you can also more clearly find the enemy's weak points. You call it the "True Vision Pupil".

Soon you became a Dark Star realm demon god. At this point you have a choice: one, continue to stay in the Yuanchu Mountain to accumulate; two, leave Yuanchu Mountain to gain experience.

"With the exaggerated talent I showed in the simulation, continuing to cultivate alone might also reach the Boundless Realm, but considering the future, I should still go out to gain experience." Zhou Yu made up his mind.

In the True Primordial cultivation system of the Cangyuan Realm, the great realm of demon gods is divided into five levels in total, and the Dark Star realm is already the fourth level; in the Cangyuan Realm it is also called Marquis Demon God.

Just by burying oneself in hard training, reaching this step at the age of sixteen is indeed quite extravagant.

But Zhou Yu also understands that the cultivation talent provided by this "cultivation genius" is almost fixed—fast early on, but not necessarily later; to achieve great accomplishments, one still needs to undergo tempering.

PS: To explain for those who haven't read or have forgotten the Cangyuan Diagram, the Cangyuan Diagram is divided into the major realms of Mundane, Demon God, Venerable, Emperor, Tribulation, and Eternity. Breakthroughs below the Tribulation realm have requirements of both skill realm and primordial spirit realm; for example, Marquis Demon God requires the skill realm of Dao's Boundary and primordial spirit first layer, King Demon God is the Domain Realm and primordial spirit three layers, Creation Venerable is the Cave Heaven Realm and primordial spirit five layers, Emperor is the Heaven-Earth Realm and primordial spirit seven layers.
