Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 24 Simulation of the Ancient Times

As Zhou Yu made his choice, the simulation began.

【You were born.】

You cried loudly when you were born. You were just an ordinary baby.

You find that you can easily understand the language spoken by the people around you. You think you have traveled back to ancient society, until you find that your father can throw boulders several feet high with a single blow, and your mother cooks food with prey that looks like a monster in one hand. Then you realize that something is wrong.

You were born into the Youcang clan. Your parents named you Zhouyu. You were not used to the new name and felt it was quite foolish, but gradually came to terms with it.

[At one year old, you were already able to run and jump, and you also gained a much better understanding of this world. This is a world where immortal cultivators exist, and mortals are divided into acquired and innate levels. The more you understand, the more certain you are that you have traveled to the world of the Wilderness Era.]

[Your parents are both innate beings. Your tribe is extremely powerful and is said to have a celestial immortal ancestor.]

When you were three years old, you entered the library under the tribe's arrangement to select a cultivation method. Following your parents' advice, you found the relatively easy body-building method "Sun Worship Diagram" and the basic-building Qi-training method "Mountain and Water Source Qi Sutra". At the same time, you also discovered a method called "The True Sutra of the Creation Lotus Flower". The method introduction stated that this method was created by Nuwa, the mother of the human race. The first batch of sages of the human race all practiced this method to rise from the myriad races. However, the difficulty of this secret manual is incredibly high, and ordinary people find it difficult to achieve anything by practicing it.

[Currently, you choose: 1. "Sun Worship", 2. "Lotus Sutra of Creation"]

"It seems that I have traveled to the Three Realms this time." Zhou Yu quickly understood this in his heart. Could it be that there is also a Nuwa in other chaotic worlds?
As for the "True Scripture of the Lotus of Creation", since it was created by the goddess Nuwa, this body-refining secret book should be the same as the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram", both of which can cultivate the purest divine and demonic bodies and truly provide hope of surviving the divine calamity.

Needless to say, it is difficult, perhaps even more difficult than "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu".

But
"Choose two." Zhou Yu chose two without hesitation.

If you want to become a god or even a true god in the future, you must lay a solid foundation.

At this moment, some memories came back and the simulation continued.

You ultimately chose the Lotus Sutra. Your parents were very unhappy when they found out, but since you had already made your choice, they had no choice but to support your practice.

Your soul is naturally powerful, and the first step of the "Lotus Sutra of Creation" did not stump you. You began to practice this body-refining method, and at the same time, you also entered the tribal school to learn the art of combat.

You gradually discover something's amiss. According to your master, outside the tribe lie countless ferocious demons. To survive in this land, your tribe must unite and continually produce powerful individuals to hope to counter the demons. This seems unbelievable for a tribe with a celestial ancestor. You suspect you've traveled to a unique world dominated by demons.

[You have decent talent, and with your practice of the Lotus Sutra, as you age, your abilities will gradually become top-tier among your peers.]

At the age of 10, you achieved acquired perfection, but you couldn't find any hope of a breakthrough. You didn't take it seriously at the time.

At 12, you start to panic.

[At 15, many of your peers, who were previously less powerful than you, began to break through to their innate abilities, completely surpassing you.]

[At this point, you feel a little lost. You begin to consider whether to give up on physical training and focus on Qigong. At this point, you have two choices: 1. Continue to persevere. 2. Give up.]

"One." Zhou Yu made his choice.

You grit your teeth and persevere, looking for opportunities for breakthroughs every day.

At 17, your talent, 'God Rewards Hard Work,' took effect, and you achieved a breakthrough.

After practicing the Lotus Sutra of Creation and achieving the Xiantian state, you have become different. Your combat power is comparable to that of a late Xiantian body refiner, and your vitality is comparable to that of a perfect Xiantian body refiner. Your strength is far superior to that of your peers.

Your performance has attracted the attention of the tribe. Although you are a bit older, you are still listed as a 'tribal seed' for cultivation.

Your rising status within the tribe has given you access to more books. Filled with curiosity about the world, you begin to read numerous geography and biography books. Soon, you're stunned to discover you haven't traveled to the Three Realms, but rather to the Pangu World, before the Three Realms were formed. At this time, on the vast land, both the human and demon races are extremely powerful, vying for supremacy.

You quickly accepted the fact and continued to practice diligently.

At the age of 22, you have achieved innate perfection. After practicing the Lotus Sutra of Creation, your combat power is comparable to that of a Purple Mansion cultivator. The tribe has arranged a training mission for you. You can choose to join a hunting team or go out alone. At this time, you can choose: 1. Join the hunting team, 2. Go out alone.

"This simulation is actually set in ancient times?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised when he looked at the content of the simulation.

Although the last simulation was earlier than this one, it was still in another chaotic world.

"I wonder what will happen if the simulation is successful?" Zhou Yu thought to himself, and he quickly made a choice.

Directly choose to join the "hunting team".

Although it is free to go out alone, the mortality rate is too high without the blessing of luck. Zhou Yu is very clear that what he has to do in this simulation is to "survive". As long as he lives long enough and keeps working hard, the talent of "God rewards hard work" will allow him to continue to improve.

You chose to join a hunting team. Your performance in the hunting team was mediocre, but you persisted in devoting your time to the "Lotus Sutra of Creation." At the age of 28, you miraculously broke through to the Purple Mansion level.

"Your breakthrough has earned the tribe's respect for you. You are the only one in the tribe in the past thousand years to have practiced the 'Lotus Sutra of Creation' and achieved the Purple Palace."

You continued to train with the hunting team. At the age of 38, you reached the perfection of the Purple Mansion, but the threshold of the Purple Mansion becoming all things firmly stuck you.

[At 39, you met a beautiful woman in the tribe and your heart was moved.] [At 42, you got married and began to feel satisfied with your current life, but you did not indulge in it and continued to practice diligently every day.]

[But it is harder than you think to break through the Purple Mansion. At the age of 48, you failed to break through.]

[At 58, you still haven’t made a breakthrough]

You once again doubt whether you can continue on this path. You're tempted to give up on cultivating your Qi. At this point, you have two choices: 1. Continue to persevere. 2. Give up.

"It seems that I really don't have the qualifications to practice the Divine Demon Body Refining." Zhou Yu sighed in his heart. At the beginning, he also practiced the Divine Demon Body Refining and Qi training at the same time, but later he gave up the path of Divine Demon Body Refining.

If you can't break through, you can't break through. There's no point in struggling.

Of course, this time is different, Zhou Yu naturally chose to "continue to persevere."

You choose to persist.

[Heaven rewards hard work. At 72 years old, you finally broke through the bottleneck and reached the level of all things with the "Lotus Sutra of Creation"]

At 85, you reach the Perfection of All Things. Your strength is comparable to that of many Taoist Priestess. You begin to lead a hunting team on your own.

[With your help, your parents and wife have successfully broken through to the Qigong Wanxiang level, and your family is enjoying a happy life.]

[At 100 years old, you still haven't broken through to the Soul Level. This no longer surprises you, as you understand that breaking through isn't easy.]

[In the same year, an accident happened. You led a hunting team out to hunt, but when you returned, the tribe had become a ruin. You frantically searched for your parents and wife, but could no longer find them.]

Two celestial beings arrived quickly and told you that this was a premeditated attack. Three demonic beings from the demon tribe had attacked. After your tribe's ancestor fell, your tribe was also annihilated by the demon army.

You are heartbroken and filled with hatred. You swear to avenge your family and your tribe.

[At this time, a celestial being tells you that if you want revenge, you can go to the 'Emperor Yao City' in the north. Emperor Yao is a newly rising power of the human race and is actively recruiting people to form an army. However, to join Emperor Yao's army, you must be at least a Qigong Return to Void Earthly Immortal or a Body Training Flow Yuanshen Divine Demon. Your strength is obviously not enough.]

After thanking the two immortals, you left with the remaining members of the hunting party.

At the age of 108, you rebuilt your tribe thousands of miles away. The tribe was small and weak. You could only carefully lead your people to survive in this vast land.

At 150 years old, through your continuous practice, you finally broke through to the Yuan Shen level. You longed to go north, but you didn't, knowing that your tribe still needed you.

At 186 years old, you achieve the perfection of the primordial spirit.

At 300 years old, you encountered the first of the Three Disasters, and you experienced it with ease.

[305 years old, a genius appeared in your tribe. You were very happy and tried your best to cultivate him.]

[At the age of 500, that genius has become a Return to Void Earth Immortal, and his enlightenment level is extremely high. His strength has surpassed yours. At this time, you have two choices: 1. Hand over the tribe to him and travel north. 2. Stay in the tribe.]

"It seems that the environment of the human race at that time was far inferior to what it is now." Zhou Yu looked at the content in the simulation and some legends circulating in the three realms, and he roughly understood it.

In the Pangu world at that time, although the human race had three emperors, the three emperors may not have had the current strength. Among the Five Emperors, Emperor Yao had just risen and was obviously much weaker.

And the demon race? It's actually a coalition of all races! There might even be a natural ancestral god among them. Their strength is naturally terrifying, enough to rival the human race.

"However, this time's choice..." Zhou Yu fell into deep thought.

The situation this time was very similar to the last simulation of going to the Chaos Thunder Sea. If his strength in the simulation was strong enough, he might not even give Zhou Yu the chance to choose, and he would just run over there by himself.

But he was obviously not strong enough in the simulation, so whether to go or not was still decided by Zhou Yu himself.

"Go." Zhou Yu made a decision quickly.

Joining Emperor Yao's army was indeed dangerous, but was staying in the tribe not dangerous? This era was clearly not stable. Tribes that had been ruled by Celestial Immortal ancestors had been destroyed, let alone tribes that only had a Primordial Spirit God and a Returning Void Earthly Immortal.

The key is that practicing Taoism is also about cultivating the mind.

Continuing to stay in the tribe may not be a good thing for him in the simulation.

"God rewards hard work" is good, but it is not a panacea. Zhou Yu has now discovered that the bigger the bottleneck, the longer it will take to break it by relying on "God rewards hard work".

If he doesn't survive the catastrophe, his life span will be limited after all, and he may not have the time to show his talents, so he chose to go to "Emperor Yao's City"!
As Zhou Yu made his choice, his memories in the simulation came flooding back.

Zhou Yu felt the emotions contained in that memory and became more and more certain that his choice was right.
