Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 25: The fourth level of mental strength in the battle between humans and demons
You handed your tribe over to that genius Return to Void Earth Immortal, and without hesitation, you set out on the road to 'Emperor Yao City'.

The Pangu world is immensely vast. You journey north, carefully avoiding numerous dangers. Along the way, you gain insights into the natural world and suddenly enter the path of the universe. Even without any guidance, you find yourself making rapid progress and are determined to continue on this path.

After ten years, you finally arrived at Emperor Yao's city. You explained your purpose and, relying on your own strength, easily joined Emperor Yao's army.

You are assigned to an inconspicuous legion, practicing battle formations with other gods and demons who have reached the perfection of their spirits.

[You came across a secret manual containing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the army. You carefully comprehended it, and your realm improved even more rapidly.]

[In your twelfth year in the army, your legion faced its first battle. 30,000 perfect gods and demons formed a battle formation. You killed a demon immortal. You felt very excited.]

After this battle, you feel that the depression hidden in your heart has mostly dissipated, and your cultivation becomes smoother, but you still cannot break through the bottleneck and become a Return to Void God or Demon.

At 800 years old, you are still a Primordial God and Demon, but your strength has greatly improved. You have become a leader in the army. You have used your accumulated military merits to exchange for special treasures and successfully cultivated a second Primordial Spirit.

[At 900 years old, you faced your first disaster, and you got through it easily]

【At 1000 years old, you are still accumulating】

[At 1200 years old, you become the commander of the army]

[At 1500 years old, after countless battles, you finally transformed and became a Return to Void God and Demon]

[At 1700 years old, you have reached the late stage of Return to Void. Your strength is comparable to that of a celestial being. You have joined the Return to Void God and Demon Legion.]

[2500 years old, the demon tribe launched a massive invasion. You followed the army to fight. The battle was bloody and devastating, with countless gods and demons killed. You luckily survived, but this was not the end, but the beginning of the conflict. Wars broke out one after another between the human and demon tribes.]

You understand that you can do nothing, so you can only practice in silence. In the continuous fighting and battles, your realm progresses rapidly, and soon you reach the level of a million-year-old immortal. You are beginning to want to overcome the tribulation of the gods. If you can become a god, you can easily take revenge and it will be easier for you to survive the conflict between humans and demons.

[At this time, you choose: 1. Overcome the tribulation. 2. Continue to accumulate]

“Keep accumulating.”

Zhou Yu made his choice without hesitation.

A million-year-old immortal wants to overcome the divine tribulation? Even the weakest divine tribulation can reach the level of nine-nine thunder tribulations.

At this level, without the foundation of supernatural powers like "Eight-Nine Profound Art" and "Star-Picking Hand", one would be courting death.

As the memories from the simulation flooded into Zhou Yu's mind, the simulation soon began again.

You chose to continue accumulating and improving yourself before overcoming the Heavenly God Tribulation, but you felt the time was ripe for your Second Soul to overcome the Tribulation. You chose to let your Second Soul overcome the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, and you succeeded.

As time passed, the conflict between the humans and demons became increasingly intense. In addition to direct fighting, the two tribes also began to find ways to cause trouble for each other.

Suddenly one day, you heard that a peerless genius named "Houyi" had appeared in the elite army next door. In less than a hundred years, Houyi had become a god. You realized that things were not simple.

3500 years old. On this day, ten suns appeared in the sky. These were the Ten Golden Crows. The leading one was a true god, known as the Golden Crow Demon King. The Golden Crow Demon King led his nine brothers and wreaked havoc on the human race's gathering places. The human race could only passively accept the attack, suffering heavy losses.

[Until that day, Houyi, who had been a celestial god for nearly a thousand years, suddenly drew his bow and arrow, and with incredible power, shot and killed the true god-level Golden Crow, and almost all the remaining celestial god Golden Crows were killed.]

[This battle made Hou Yi famous in the Pangu World, but the struggle between humans and demons did not stop. The death of the True God Jinwu only intensified the conflict between the two sides.]

When you were 3500 years old, the decisive battle between the two sides truly broke out. Due to your lack of strength, you were unable to participate. However, you know that the human race won this battle. The three emperors of the human race all displayed astonishing strength. Legend has it that an ancestral god fell in this battle.

After the war, the army formed by Emperor Yao did not disband, but stayed. Your choices now are: 1. Stay. 2. Withdraw.

Zhou Yu thought about it and chose to quit.

Now that the battle between humans and demons is over, the outside world will be much safer from now on. I can just focus on accumulating wealth after returning.

You chose to retire, and returned to your hometown with the treasures you had accumulated over the years.

[At this moment, you sadly discovered that the small tribe had disappeared. It ultimately failed to survive the war.]

[With nowhere to go, you choose to travel]

As time passes, your realm becomes higher and higher. When you are 15000 years old, you are only one step away from understanding the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. You feel a little surprised. You never thought that your talent could reach this level.

[At this point, you have the desire to overcome the divine tribulation again. Your choices are: 1. Overcome the tribulation. 2. Continue to accumulate.]

"Continue to accumulate." Zhou Yu made his choice immediately. For some reason, this simulation had no time limit, and a Return to Void God and Demon Realm this high was definitely comparable to a peak celestial immortal. This kind of strength could withstand the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations for a long time, and his lifespan was still very long, so there was no need to rush.

Anyway, "God rewards hard work", so if you keep practicing, you will eventually make a breakthrough.

You continue your journey, and one day, you encounter a demon immortal. You've already discovered the identity of the demon immortal who annihilated your clan, and you instantly recognize it as one of your former enemies. Rumor has it he died in the decisive battle between the two clans, but you never expected him to be alive. Without hesitation, you tear it to pieces.

After killing your enemy with your own hands, you feel incredibly relaxed. You return to where your tribe was originally and live in seclusion there.

Before you know it, you're a million years old. Heaven rewards hard work. Miraculously, you've grasped the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and your Second Soul has achieved the status of a True Immortal.

[You are full of confidence having mastered the Great Dao. You once again have the idea of ​​overcoming the divine tribulation. At this time, you have two choices: 1. Overcome the tribulation. 2. Continue to accumulate.]

"Logically speaking, the success rate of overcoming the tribulation is not low at this time." Zhou Yu certainly understood this in his heart.

However, he still chose to continue accumulating. After all, he had talent and hard work paid off. As long as he accumulated more, it would not be difficult to make progress.

[You choose to continue accumulating, and over time, you gradually begin to comprehend the power of space.]

[When you were one million years old, your spatial power reached the third level.]

[At 15 million years old, your spatial power reaches the fourth level.]

[At this point, you feel you have accumulated enough, and you choose to transcend the tribulation.]

[Because you've experienced so many Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, your divine tribulations are also extremely terrifying. During your thunder tribulations, even the legendary 'Pure Yang Golden Lightning' appeared, but this poses no threat to you at this moment.]

The only thing that troubled you was the inner demon tribulation. However, ever since you killed that demon immortal, your heart has been flawless. Millions of years of tempering have made your Dao heart incredibly firm. The inner demon tribulation ultimately failed to hinder you. You successfully overcame the tribulation and became a celestial god.

Emperor Yao soon learned of your ascension to the Celestial God. The God and Demon Legion that was initially formed consisted of a million Return-to-Void Gods and Demons, but aside from Hou Yi, no one else successfully transcended the tribulation. Millions of years later, almost all of the Return-to-Void Gods and Demons in the legion that fought against the demons had already died. It's truly astonishing that you waited for tens of millions of years to transcend the tribulation and succeed.

Emperor Yao personally finds you and asks if you are willing to return to the army.

Your choices at this time: 1. Agree. 2. Refuse.

"I was not given a choice when I went through the tribulation this time," Zhou Yu sighed in his heart. Yes, in the end, he actually mastered the power of the fourth level of space. It would be unreasonable if he did not go through the tribulation again.

"However, there is no need to rejoin the army at this time, right?" Zhou Yu thought about it and chose to refuse.

And at the moment Zhou Yu chose to refuse, a surge of memories also flooded into his heart.

Memories spanning over tens of millions of years were a huge shock to Zhou Yu.

However, Zhou Yu had already made preparations. Moreover, the memory of each simulation before was a test for him, which had already made him more determined than before.

When Zhou Yu digested this memory, his eyes quickly returned to calm.

"Born to float, in harmony with heaven and earth" Zhou Yu felt a sense of relief in his heart. The combination of the two memories also allowed him to completely break through the bottleneck in his heart.

Any practitioner has more or less ambitious goals, but how many of them can never doubt themselves?

When an ant looks up at the sky, how can it not be shocked by the vastness of existence?
"But no matter how small the road is, it is still under our feet. We just have to move forward step by step." Zhou Yu's heart was very calm at this moment, and he was no longer confused.

He had already understood the truth, but understanding it on the surface did not mean that he had truly grasped its true meaning.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was no longer confused, which meant a transformation of his soul.

His heart was like a young sprout breaking through the soil. Although it was inconspicuous, it began to grow stubbornly.

The fourth level of mental strength - the mortal world.

Zhou Yu was quite emotional at this time. After repeated simulations, his Dao Heart had already reached the requirements of the fourth level of mental strength, but he could not truly comprehend the true meaning of the fourth level and could not break through.

If you understand the true meaning at this time, breakthroughs will come naturally.

"The fourth level of mental strength is a fearless mind with unlimited mental strength. The gap with the third level is too big." Zhou Yu sighed. Only at this step did he understand its power.

"Let's continue the simulation." Zhou Yu didn't think much about it.
