Chapter 62

The simulation is still continuing.

【You chose to stay at Blood Blade Tavern, and you were quickly taken by the transcendent organization Blood Blade Tavern to their headquarters, where you obtained many treasures; even though your talent for cultivating battle qi was not high, with the help of these treasures you still quickly reached the transcendent level.】

【After breaking through the transcendent level, you discovered that your True Eye underwent a fundamental change; originally you could only clearly see the essence of some obvious natural phenomena, but now you can directly observe existences that ordinary transcendent beings cannot see, such as the particles that constitute the most fundamental essence of matter, the shadow space hidden beneath normal space, and so on.】

【You soon realized that each of these existences you can see now represents a third-grade true intent; if you study them in detail, perhaps you could quickly master the mysteries of these third-grade true intents.】

【But you still decided to first contemplate earth, wind, water, and fire.】

【You were listed by Blood Blade Tavern as a key cultivation target, and soon a demigod came forward to give you pointers, telling you that mysteries are not better the more you contemplate them; you must find the right direction for yourself to hope for great achievements, after all, the mysteries of the Myriad Things Realm are just the beginning, mysteries evolving into true intent count as entering the door, and only when true intent reaches the divine heart realm is there hope of becoming a god.】

【You of course understood these, but the other party's words still influenced you; at this moment you choose: one, continue trying; two, give up.】

"Let's give it a try."

Zhou Yu thought it over and still chose to try.

What if it succeeds?

The world's true intent is a first-grade true intent; once successful, it's a guaranteed passage to becoming a world god, and this simulation would then be a success!

【You decided to try continuing down the path of earth, wind, water, and fire, and you began to create a sword technique that integrates the four mysteries; at this step, you immediately felt the difficulty—although you can directly see the essence of the four forces between heaven and earth, they exist separately, with no sign of fusion, and how to fuse them entirely depends on your own research, but your comprehension is clearly insufficient to figure out the changes involved.】

【The first step failed, so you decided to settle for less and first study the fusion method of three mysteries.】

【This time your contemplation began to make progress, but the progress was so slow it was almost unbearable; over ten years, you contemplated the mysteries of wind, fire, and water and each reached the peak of the third level of the Myriad Things Realm, yet the progress of fusing the three together didn't even reach one percent.】

【At this time, Blood Blade Tavern also had a demigod discover that you had been secretly researching the combination of the three mysteries; they warned you that if you continued to act so recklessly, they would cancel all your preferential treatment, and at this moment you choose: one, persist; two, give up.】

"Give up." Zhou Yu shook his head in his heart.

【You chose to give up, and at the same time you completely abandoned your long contemplation of the four mysteries of earth, wind, water, and fire, and began directly researching those third-grade mysteries.】

【Although third-grade mysteries are quite difficult, because you can directly see with your naked eye the concrete existences that these mysteries represent, your contemplation is relatively smooth; soon you discovered that you have a higher aptitude for 'space-type' mysteries, so you began to focus on space-type mysteries, and quickly directed your main attention to 'shadow space', which matches your assassin profession well; relying on the resources provided by Blood Blade Tavern, you quickly became a saint-level transcendent.】

【While you were staying at Blood Blade Tavern peacefully contemplating the principles of heaven and earth, the flame world also underwent a change: the long-standing hostility between the Flame Tribe and the Fire Tribe intensified, and Blood Blade Tavern began to frequently receive transcendent-level assassination missions.】

【Due to a shortage of manpower, you quickly also received a mission to assassinate a certain saint-level transcendent.】

【You did not act alone, but were part of a small team; however, the first assassination encountered an accident—your assassination attracted a powerful demigod-level transcendent, three teammates were killed on the spot, and at the critical moment you brought one person into shadow space, thereby preserving a life.】

【Although you were forced to flee, this battle also made your name known throughout the world; you have mastered the true intent of shadow space, and you are one of only two people in the present era who have mastered a third-grade true intent; given time, you will surely become a notable powerhouse.】

【The conflict between the Flame Tribe and the Fire Tribe grew ever more intense, and the true nature of this battle gradually emerged—it is a faith war, with the Flame Tribe backed by the Feather Wind Divine Palace and the Fire Tribe backed by the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace vying for the faith of the flame world, thus choosing to clash openly.】

【As a member of Blood Blade Tavern, your status is special and you are not affected by the war, but as an observer you quickly realized one thing: the so-called Flame Tribe and Fire Tribe are essentially the same ethnic group, merely passively divided into two groups by the two great divine palaces.】

【But you also understand that this is not something you can control.】

【You devoted yourself to continued contemplation; during the war, Blood Blade Tavern's business flourished, and you also frequently carried out assassination missions, relying on your ever-deeper comprehension of shadow space true intent, your assassination success rate rose higher and higher, and you gradually became a terrifying assassin who strikes fear at the mere mention of your name.】

【At the age of one hundred and two, you encountered a marriage proposal—it was that teammate you had saved during your first assassination mission; you felt some affection for her in your heart, but you rejected her, because you knew you had killed countless people and made many great enemies, making you unsuitable to have a family.】

【At the age of three hundred and thirty-six, relying on the shadow space true intent at the peak of the third level of the Myriad Things Realm, you broke through to the demigod level; at this time you also began to contemplate another space-type true intent—space-cutting true intent.】

【At the age of four hundred and fifty, using the two true intents you successfully ambushed and killed a demigod who had long been renowned across the world; you became the most terrifying assassin, and you also took over Blood Blade Tavern of the flame world.】

【At the age of one thousand and seventy-six, you condensed your true self's divine heart with shadow space true intent.】

【At the age of two thousand five hundred twenty-four, you felt the opportunity to become a god; at this moment you choose: one, continue accumulating; two, become a god.】

"Become a god with a third-grade divine heart?"

Zhou Yu looked at the simulation content; he knew that this kind of deity is relatively common, not particularly strong nor weak.

Of course, it is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from becoming a world god.

"It seems the help brought by the 'True Eye' has a high floor but a low ceiling." Zhou Yu understood in his heart that, although the talent "Combat Genius" in the previous simulation ultimately failed, at least in the transcendent stage he had comprehended a second-grade true intent.

In this simulation, looking at the situation, it is utterly impossible to comprehend a second-grade true intent in the transcendent stage.

"Let's become a god." Zhou Yu directly chose to become a god.

【You chose to break through to become a god, and you succeeded.】

【After becoming a god, you were pleasantly surprised to discover that your True Eye underwent another transformation; the complete space, shadow world, virtual realm, and other deeper heavenly and earthly mysteries unfolded before your eyes, and you understood that these are the mysteries represented by second-grade true intent.】

【The news of your godhood instantly shocked the entire flame world.】

【Not long after, you received a message from the deity realm's directly affiliated Blood Blade Tavern, saying that the world god behind the Feather Wind Divine Palace was offering a high price to hire you to deal with the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace.】

【After consideration, you agreed.】

【Thus, the Feather Wind World God directly descended a 'divine incarnation', opening the decisive battle against the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace.】

【The Heavenly Fire World God behind the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace also soon had a divine incarnation descend; he is a second-level heavenly world god, and although all the power of his divine incarnation's actions is suppressed to the demigod limit, he remains very fearsome, somewhat stronger than you; fortunately you do not need to face him alone, but only need to assist the divine incarnation of the Feather Wind World God.】

【This battle shook heaven and earth; ultimately the Feather Wind World God completely won, he slew the divine incarnation of the Heavenly Fire World God, and uprooted the entire Heavenly Fire Divine Palace root and branch.】

【The divine incarnation of the Feather Wind World God has a lifespan limit of three thousand years; he remained in the flame world for three thousand years, thoroughly consolidating the rule of the Feather Wind Divine Palace, and he obtained the faith of the entire flame world.】

【But what the Feather Wind World God did not expect was that, in the fifth hundred year after his divine incarnation's death, the entire flame world suddenly trembled, and the world's heart of this world was refined, gaining an owner.】

【Naturally, the one who refined the world's heart was you; your True Pupil underwent a transformation, making it countless times easier for you to comprehend space mysteries; you spent a thousand years to comprehend the spatial divine heart, and with the help of the resources you had spent when hired by the Feather Wind World God, you quietly cultivated to the peak of god level; a deity who cultivates to the peak of god level within ten thousand years can refine their homeland world and become Lord of the Material Realm.】

【The Feather Wind World God had no defenses against you at all, because judging by your previous performance, you could absolutely not reach the peak of god level in such a short time.】

【At this moment, the Feather Wind World God sensed something amiss, and his feeling quickly became reality; you directly gave his Feather Wind Divine Palace an ultimatum, telling him to get out of the flame world; the Feather Wind World God naturally refused, he threatened you by various means, but as Lord of the Material Realm you had no fear of him, and you directly took strong action to destroy the Feather Wind Divine Palace, also erasing all traces of the Feather Wind World God in the flame world.】

【You caused the Flame Tribe and the Fire Tribe to merge into one tribe, thereafter renamed the Flame-Fire Tribe.】
