Chapter 173: Space-Time Origin Simulator

In twenty years, Xiao Yu has fully mastered the 360 Core secret patterns; next, he must spend a great amount of time, according to the three connection systems recorded in the second layer of "Core", to find the one that best fits him.

That is, the one that can increase Soul Strength by 10,081 times is the one that truly suits him.

It is like comprehending the essence of a law, then grasping a system, and creating one's own secret technique; it requires time for continual testing and verification.

Just like scientific invention, every precious invention must endure tens of thousands of errors before the correct method can be found.

Sudden insight is indeed important, but it still requires accumulated time, and at that point, Xiao Yu's increased Soul Calculation Speed can greatly save time.

Having understood the various subtleties of the Core secret patterns, he can simulate within his soul, thereby eliminating many erroneous schemes, selecting the most suitable few, dozens, or hundreds of schemes, and then testing them one by one.

During the twenty years, Xiao Yu fused the tenth Divine Crystal, failed four times, and only succeeded on the fifth attempt.

Puff!

Xiao Yu burst through the outer layer of the silver light sphere and saw the scene before him.

"There are actually 110 Time Crystals and 135 Void Crystals." The moment they entered the space, Xiao Yu already knew the exact numbers.

"Lu, Xi, Li…"

Xiao Yu sensed the universal Space-Time Origin, exerting power ten times that before the fusion.

"System, use this Ultimate Treasure fragment as a basis to craft an auxiliary artifact."

Inside the silver light sphere were massive silver secret patterns, each as thick as an arm; each silver secret pattern was exceedingly intricate. In total there were eighteen silver secret patterns, each hundreds of meters to nearly a kilometer long, intertwining and spiraling in this space. Waves of heart‑pounding, subjugating aura emanated from these eighteen silver secret patterns.

【Auxiliary artifact manufacturing complete!】

And those silver rays, as if passing through the Space-Time Origin Law secret patterns, revealed the way the essence of space‑time combines.

"It's actually a Space-Time Origin Law secret pattern! And such a huge secret pattern!" Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise.

【Please inject at least 100,000 Wish Gold Coins!】

At the bottom of the massive pit, the final two hundred kilometers.

"This is actually a fragment of an Ultimate Treasure!" Xiao Yu was surprised, and a thought arose: "Could I use this fragment as a Core to forge an artifact?"

"System, analyze the eighteen silver secret patterns."

"Come to me!"

Xiao Yu felt his body and soul following the Space-time Origin fluctuations, as if he were being assimilated by space‑time.

【Wish Gold Coins (1000) have been deducted!】

【Analysis successful!】

Whether it was the Primordial Universe in his right eye, or the law secret patterns seen in the Initial Universe, they were extremely tiny—much smaller than particles, needle‑tip sized, and he was seeing them for the first time.

Intangible temptation accompanied by a murderous will assaulted him; that overwhelming murderous will battered Xiao Yu's resolve like a rolling war chariot repeatedly crashing into it.

Xiao Yu approached the pile of Time Crystals and Void Crystals, and only then discovered that at the bottom lay a pool of nearly dried blood‑red liquid, exuding a strong murderous will.

【Auxiliary artifact is beginning to be crafted.】

【300,000 Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

And the human main soul, after forty consecutive years, finally absorbed all 216 within its body and began formally cultivating the "Heavenly God Transformation"—"Mysterious Yellow Transformation".

Half a day later.

Xiao Yu waved his hand, gathering all Divine Crystals into the Space Ring.

Silver rays flowed slowly, yet images emerged: at times forming a galactic universe, then a strange creature, sometimes a river, occasionally reverting to the rays themselves.

【Please inject the primal force that contains the power of the Space-Time Origin Law!】

【Quality: Mid‑grade advanced artifact.】

The furnace's illusory shadow displayed firelight in four places, emitting illusory shadows.

100 m, 50 m, 30 m, 20 m, 10 m…

"Could it be that these so‑called Divine Crystals are condensed from the blood of some powerful being?" Xiao Yu speculated, perhaps just like that Blood Lo Crystal.

At the same time, the eighteen massive silver secret patterns continued to emit silver rays, enveloping the area.

Below the silver secret patterns appeared a small pile of silver Time Crystals and black Void Crystals.

In an instant discarding the clutter in his mind, he stepped into the silver sphere, flew about 50 m, and still saw the dense 'silver' before his eyes.

The furnace lid opened, and the eighteen silver secret patterns, each hundreds of meters to nearly a kilometer long, were drawn together into the three‑meter‑high furnace.

Perhaps it will work; let's try first.

"Enjoy the slaughter, slaughter, how beautifully endless it is…"

A three‑meter‑tall alchemy furnace illusion materialized before him.

Swoosh!

A silver glass‑ball‑sized sphere flew into Xiao Yu's palm. This artifact crafted by the system emitted silver light, semi‑transparent, like a night‑glowing pearl, with countless silver rays constantly intertwining and shifting at its core.

Suddenly, with a 'psst' sound, the silver sphere burst, then a murderous aura vortex spun rapidly, spreading the aura to Xiao Yu's location.

【Artifact Manufacturing Module has been activated!】

The silver sphere was right before his eyes.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu discovered that on each of the sixteen massive silver secret patterns, there were secret patterns the size of a needle tip.

A wave of emptiness assaulted him; Xiao Yu felt the primal force within him that contained the power of the Space-Time Origin Law being drained.

"Inject."

But Xiao Yu's resolve remained firm, like space‑time itself, resisting the onslaught of that eternal aura.

"What the heck is this?" Xiao Yu stared for a while but still couldn't make sense of it.

【Basic materials have been collected!】

Xiao Yu looked at the blood‑stained rocky ground below and thought, "Perhaps there are still Divine Crystals underground."

The rich blood‑red murderous aura formed a massive aura vortex while faintly emitting an ancient, eternal breath that naturally stirred the soul.

There were also two or three half‑pieces of Time Crystals and Void Crystals slowly coalescing.

Approaching this spot, the murderous aura vanished, replaced by an abnormally strong Space-time Origin Fluctuation.

A voice that pierces the soul directly resonated in Xiao Yu's consciousness, an ancient note without any pattern; each note contained a supreme, endless, ancient breath.

"Inject 300,000 Wish Gold Coins."

Boom—boom—boom!

After successful fusion.

In these universes, no thing can withstand the assault of time, not even that eternal existence, and likewise no existence can assault time.

"Come, child."

【Auxiliary Artifact: Space-Time Origin Simulator】

"System, analyze this artifact."

Here the rock wall has been corroded by murderous aura into a huge cavity.

"It's still not ready! This is the first time the system has taken so long to craft an artifact!" Xiao Yu thought, becoming even more eager, "I wonder what kind of artifact will be created this time."

The Small World inside his body continues to grow with the help of the World Tree, and the World Tree has also broken its limits; as long as Xiao Yu is willing, the next moment the World Tree can ascend to Realm Lord Level.

【Unknown Ultimate Treasure Fragment (non-core): Contains the Space-Time Origin Law, attempting to autonomously recover, evolving the power of the Space-Time Origin Law.】

Steadily approaching the vortex core.

【Law System: Space-Time Origin Law.】

【Ability: Can deduce and simulate law evolution based on the user's comprehension of the essence of space-time.】
