Chapter 63: Simulation Successful

The news that you became a material world lord was swiftly learned by a big figure in the Blood Blade Tavern; he was a fourfold Celestial Realm deity, who sought someone to contact you and was willing to take you under his command. At this point you choose: 1. Agree. 2. Refuse.

"Agree."

Zhou Yu made the choice outright.

Material world lords are uncommon, yet not that rare; a material world lord who cannot grow is nothing at all.

Being able to serve under a fourfold Celestial Realm deity is already decent, and the key is that it further helps him become a realm god in the simulation.

You chose to agree, and that fourfold Celestial Realm deity gave you some treasures and also passed you the manual for the "Clone Technique".

The Clone Technique is a secret art that every realm god must master, but practicing it below the rank of realm god is harmful and useless, because it requires slicing the soul, and without grasping the First‑grade True Meaning or Divine Heart, the sliced soul is hard to restore, which severely reduces one's comprehension.

That fourfold Celestial Realm deity told you that when you become a realm god—or feel that you truly cannot breakthrough in the material world—you may then practice the Clone Technique to ascend to the Divine Realm.

You naturally understood this; you have only just become a god, so you are in no hurry to go to the Divine Realm.

Time passed, and you devoted yourself within your own domain to contemplate the laws of heaven and earth; being able to directly perceive many deep‑level cosmic laws, grasping other laws was not difficult. Of course, your main focus at this time was the "Temporal Divine Heart"; according to experience, once you comprehend both the Spatial Divine Heart and the Temporal Divine Heart simultaneously, you can hope to fuse them into a Spacetime Divine Heart.

Relying on the Spatial Divine Heart you reached the pinnacle of god‑level, and you are also clearly adept with time; at this point contemplating the Temporal Divine Heart posed no major obstacle, but merging the two proved difficult for you.

This step is evidently extremely hard; you have lingered in your hometown for a million years, yet you still cannot fathom the Spacetime Divine Heart.

You feel a bit restless, and you are inclined to cultivate the Clone Technique to go to the Divine Realm, perhaps its resources and environment could aid your transformation. At this moment you choose: 1. Continue to settle. 2. Go to the Divine Realm.

"Settle." Zhou Yu chose to settle.

You thought it over and still decided to continue your research.

After one hundred thousand years, you still see no hint of breakthrough; you realize you cannot continue like this, and you consider cultivating by absorbing faith.

At this point you choose: 1. Absorb faith. 2. Do not absorb.

"Again a choice?"

Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised; it seems that the simulated him truly cannot see any hope of breakthrough and is becoming rather unscrupulous.

Absorbing faith does indeed aid in perceiving the laws of heaven and earth; many deities and even realm gods also pursue the power of faith.

Otherwise, the previous Flame World would not have seen two realm gods fight so fiercely over faith.

But absorbing faith has drawbacks; the more you absorb, the harder transcendence becomes.

"Absorb."

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and made his choice.

The immediate priority is still to become a realm god and finish the simulation; transcendence is far too distant.

You quickly made a decision and immediately extracted the ownerless faith you had accumulated over a million years in the Flame World; that faith was originally intended for you to exchange for resources in the Divine Realm, but now you have to use it yourself.

After absorbing the faith, you indeed felt a difference; under the collective will of all beings, you sensed a slight loosening of the bottleneck.

But it was only a slight loosening, not obvious.

You thought it might be due to insufficient faith power, so you continued to massively absorb the power of faith.

The faith accumulated over a million years across an entire world was quickly drained by you, yet the bottleneck still could not be broken.

You still felt it might be a lack of faith power, so you simultaneously built your own temple in the Flame World to absorb faith more efficiently, and began probing the surrounding mortal worlds to see if new sources of faith could be found.

However, new sources of faith were clearly not easy to locate; the worlds around you had long been occupied by powerful realm gods, and your modest god‑level pinnacle had no right to compete with them for faith.

Nevertheless, you soon made a new discovery: in a mortal world near the Flame World, one was called the "Xia Tribe World". After careful investigation you found that this Xia Tribe World was exactly the one you remembered, but the timing was off; at present the Xia Tribe World was still a rather insignificant existence.

You left with some regret, yet you decided to keep an eye on the Xia Tribe World; you think that if you continue to be unable to breakthrough, the "Dongbo Snow Eagle" that will be born in the Xia Tribe World in the future might be your hope.

Another few million years passed in the blink of an eye, and you still could not find any hope of breakthrough; you felt you could no longer stay in the material world and decided to go to the Divine Realm.

You cultivated the Clone Method, and after creating a clone you could immediately go to the Divine Realm.

You went to the fourfold Celestial Realm deity who originally accepted you; he was still somewhat disappointed that you remained at the god‑level pinnacle, but he still assigned you to become a Divine Realm assassin.

You are a material world lord; in the Divine Realm you fear no danger, and the missions you take are the most hazardous, and you continually venture into perilous ruins.

Your clones die time and again, yet your wealth gradually grows.

Three million years later, you discovered in a ruin's cave a realm‑god‑level secret art containing a complete Spacetime Divine Heart. You knew this was something that could drive the vast majority of realm gods mad, and you immediately and cautiously brought it back to the Flame World.

You studied this realm‑god‑level secret art called "Eight‑Turn Spacetime Power", and while your strength surged, you suddenly experienced a flash of insight.

Your Temporal Divine Heart and Spatial Divine Heart perfectly merged, becoming a Spacetime Divine Heart.

You chose to breakthrough the realm god.

Simulation successful.

Monghuang Chronicle World.

Boom!

Nearly ten million years of memories surged into Zhou Yu's mind; Zhou Yu calmly digested these memories, especially the complete Spacetime Divine Heart within them, which he contemplated in detail.

After a long while, Zhou Yu finally opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"I feel that the fifth‑tier Spacetime power now has a short‑term chance of breakthrough," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

The fifth‑tier Spacetime power is considerably stronger than the normal fifth‑tier force, yet it is indeed extremely difficult.

Previously Zhou Yu was confident that he could grind time to breakthrough with his own talent, but now, having grasped the subtleties of the Spacetime Divine Heart—though from a different world, it is still spacetime—suddenly deepened his understanding of spacetime considerably.

In this situation, Zhou Yu naturally felt that the time to breakthrough the Spacetime power would be considerably advanced.

Of course, it is only a feeling; in reality, enlightenment is unpredictable, and perhaps he is still stuck at the bottleneck, having to rely on "Celestial Dao rewards the diligent" to slowly grind time.

"Moreover, this harvest includes more than just the Spacetime Divine Heart."

Zhou Yu took a step and arrived outside the cave, standing in the void, gazing at the Three Realms.

At this moment, in his eyes, the entire Three Realms were different from before.

The traces of the Ten Great Celestial Daos, the Eighty‑one Great Paths, and the hundred‑thousand‑plus ordinary Dao were all crystal clear in his sight.

"In the chaos, I can even directly see the traces of many primal forces," Zhou Yu thought, and through his second primordial spirit roaming the chaos he could also perceive the differences.

Various primal forces, which his previous realm could not directly comprehend, now required gradual probing of the Dao's essence to advance.

Only when the origin power reaches the fifth level and condenses the 'seed of the Dao' can one hope to directly sense the existence of the origin of the chaotic universe.

But now he can directly see many traces of origin power in the chaos.

""This true pupil is still quite formidable; it greatly aids in comprehending the Dao."" Zhou Yu secretly nodded in his heart.

The key is, this true pupil is clearly a growth-type talent, which was already evident in the simulation.

In the simulation, at the mundane stage he could only initially see some superficial heavenly-earthly rules, but upon reaching the extraordinary stage he could directly see the heavenly-earthly rules of the third-grade true intent level.

After becoming a god, the rules of the second-grade true intent level also become clearly visible.

As for after becoming a world god,
