Chapter 41: Child of Fortune: Secret Realm Human Race

Zhou Yu returned to the base camp of the 11th extraterritorial battlefield and opened a simulation opportunity here.

【Drawing simulation world.】

【Draw successful, target world, Swallowing Starry Sky World!】

"Huh?"

Zhou Yu was slightly surprised; drawing an existing world again, it seems the probability of drawing an existing world is indeed high.

【Drawing initial talent——】

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

【One, Clan Leader——when leading the clan to rise, many aspects will be improved】

【Two, Child of Fortune——at birth, fortune reaches an extremely high level】

【Three, Talent Replication——can obtain one opportunity to copy a specified person's core talent】

Zhou Yu pondered the three talents; Talent One's ceiling might be high, but getting started is too difficult, really can't bring himself to choose it.

As for the second talent, Child of Fortune, no need to say more—it's an old friend; Zhou Yu has undergone four simulations total, and the only simulation failure was due to it.

"But using this talent in the Swallowing Starry Sky World would probably have amazing effects." Zhou Yu fell into thought; if he started as the direct descendant of a certain Universe Lord, growing up would be much easier.

Moreover, even a normal death, the Universe Lord can reverse time and space to resurrect.

I just don't know whether dying in the simulation would give the Universe Lord a chance to reverse time and space for resurrection.

"Of course, the premise is that we must be certain the starting point is definitely the direct descendant of a Universe Lord; actually, that's also uncertain." Zhou Yu understood in his heart; perhaps that previous simulation where he chose Child of Fortune was just exceptionally lucky.

"As for the third, if I could copy the core talent of the Heaven's Mandate Protagonist, that would be very strong, but this simulation might not offer the chance." Zhou Yu pondered.

"Still have to go with two."

Zhou Yu had made a decision; from the simulation in the Huntian World, the Child of Fortune talent is still very powerful—if successful, it would also give him considerable help in reality.

Zhou Yu hesitated no longer, directly selecting "Child of Fortune"; at that moment, lines of text appeared one after another.

【Please select one of the following simulation targets.】

【One, break through to Immortal——after completion, can obtain an Immortal avatar and the talent 'Child of Fortune' with fifty percent effect.】

【Two, break through to Venerable——after completion, can obtain a Venerable avatar and the full talent 'Child of Fortune'.】

【Three, break through to True God——after completion, can obtain a True God avatar and the talent 'Child of Fortune' with three hundred percent effect.】

"Compared to the previous simulation of Swallowing Starry Sky World, the simulation targets overall have risen by one level, but there is no time limit." Zhou Yu discovered the problem.

Last time simulating this world, the minimum requirement was only to reach World Lord Peak; this time it is Immortal.

As for the time issue, the previous simulation of the Wasteland Chronicles World had no time limit either.

"For a world, only the first simulation has a time limit?"

"Or is it that as my simulation count increases, the simulation targets become higher while conditions also become more relaxed?" Zhou Yu speculated in his mind.

Of course he didn't think much about it; no matter what, no time limit is good, and the success rate would simply skyrocket.

"As for the choice"

Zhou Yu thought it over and ultimately still chose two.

If he can become Immortal, he will have infinite lifespan; thereafter, relying on Child of Fortune to gradually accumulate, there is still hope to become Venerable.

Conversely, if he fails during the process of breaking through to Immortal, then choosing one or two makes no difference.

The key is, the reward for successfully choosing one is only fifty percent of the talent effect.

If fortune is halved, its effect would also greatly diminish, right?

As for choosing three, there's no need to mention it at all.

Zhou Yu doesn't think relying solely on a Child of Fortune can make him a True God; the opportunities in the Primordial Universe and even the Cosmic Sea are limited—without talent, only luck, there's basically no possibility of reaching that step.

"Let's begin."

Zhou Yu didn't think much; he directly made his choice.

At this moment, the simulation also began.

【You were born carrying your pre-transmigration memories.】

【The unfamiliar environment quickly let you realize you had transmigrated, but at birth you did not see your mother, only seeing a man covered head to toe in bloodstains】

【You realized your starting point seemed poor, but before you could understand everything, that man threw you and many supplies down and then left】

【You were dazed, but fortunately, although you are just an infant, your physical quality is outrageously strong, already not inferior to a five- or six-year-old child before transmigration】

【You survived by relying on some food left by the man】

【You discovered you were inside a bottomless cave, with more than a dozen passages around whose destinations are unknown】

【You realized you couldn't just wait for death, so you began learning the characters here through some enlightenment books left by the man】

【Your learning speed was fast; before you knew it, you had completely mastered a foreign script, and at that moment you also discovered a letter left by that man earlier—unsurprisingly, he is indeed your father after transmigration】

【Your father told you that your clan encountered an accident; the clan's strongest unexpectedly went missing and was discovered by the hostile clan, so they launched a war of extermination; your father was the hostile clan's top assassination target, so he left you alone here while he went to face the pursuers】

【Your father also told you that he left behind a 'World Ring' containing one-tenth of your clan's accumulated treasures; when your spiritual power becomes strong enough, you can open that World Ring to obtain the treasures inside】

【Having learned through the enlightenment texts, you already knew this world is not ordinary; seeing the words 'World Ring' now, you understand this even more】

【At this point you can only pray not to be discovered by the enemy, while also reading more books; gradually you understood your situation—you have transmigrated to a place called the Endless Continent, where many clans exist on the continent, and humanity is just one of them】

【Humanity once had ten powerful Divine Spirit-level experts; the clan chief further mastered the power of time, being an existence surpassing ordinary Divine Spirits—but the chief's accidental death brought humanity a calamity of extermination, as another massive clan seized the opportunity to wipe them out; your father was a super genius within the clan, hoped to become the next Divine Spirit-level expert, but now everything has come to nothing】

【The heavens-collapsing start leaves you helpless, but you understand you must still survive】

【As an infant, you temporarily cannot cultivate; at this moment you choose: one, quietly wait to grow up; two, actively train your body in preparation for the future】

"This"

Zhou Yu looked at the simulation content; he felt a bit dazed—is this the beginning of Child of Fortune?

But the simulation had already begun; Zhou Yu had no choice, so he could only make a decision, directly choosing to train his body.

Since his physical quality at birth was already about that of a five- or six-year-old child on Earth, a little training wouldn't hurt; proper training could also prevent early death.

And as Zhou Yu made his choice, some memories also surged into his heart.

"This simulated identity should be a human race that proliferated in some cosmic secret realm; the so-called 'Endless Continent' should be the supercontinent within this secret realm." Zhou Yu shook his head in his heart.

This background is too poor.

Humans, in fact, can generally be divided into three parts: the Cosmic Nation humans born from normal cosmic planets, the Secret Realm humans born in cosmic secret realms, and finally the Divine Nation humans born within the divine nations of those above Immortal experts.

In terms of potential, of course the Cosmic Nation humans are the highest; nearly all of humanity's top experts are born from Cosmic Nation humans.

And the Divine Nation humans have the lowest potential, with very low chances of becoming Immortal.

As for the Secret Realm human identity in this simulation, its potential is stronger than that of Divine Nation humans, but not by much.

Secret Realm humans have hope of becoming Immortal, but the hope of breaking through to Cosmic Sovereign is very slim.

"Hope there can be a miracle." Zhou Yu sighed in his heart, he didn't think much more, and continued the simulation.
