Simulation of the Heavens: Starting from the Age of Desolation

Chapter 43 Seven Star Vine

After Zhou Yu made his choice, subsequent memories also appeared in his mind.

"The power of this son of destiny is indeed not small. If he can really take over a special life, then becoming immortal will not be too difficult. There is also hope of breaking through to the Venerable level in the future." Zhou Yu was receiving this memory at this time, sighing secretly in his heart.

This start seems to be far inferior to the last time, but it can be said to be a true gathering of luck.

The mysterious soul treasure makes up for the lack of soul, and taking over special life makes up for the lack of body. These two opportunities are enough to turn any mediocre person into a genius.

"Continue the simulation."

Zhou Yu didn't think too much about it.

You understand that the battle between that special being and the old patriarch happened a long time ago, so you are not in a hurry to go there now. You plan to make all the necessary preparations before going there to investigate.

You returned to the previous passage and settled down here. Among the many secret books in the World Ring, you found a secret technique called "Star Soul Technique" that can be used to possess other bodies. In fact, this is the secret technique created by the old patriarch.

You have never been exposed to this kind of secret technique, but fortunately, your soul has extraordinary potential after being transformed by a mysterious treasure. You have quickly made progress in practicing the "Star Soul Technique". You have condensed the "Soul Cone" in your sea of ​​consciousness. This is your trump card. If that special life still has the strength to fight back, you will immediately use this secret technique to begin possessing its body at all costs. In direct strength, you are no match for that special life, but its soul has been severely damaged. In a battle of souls, you have a great chance of victory.

Ten years later, you set foot in the misty swamp again, following the last clues left by the old patriarch. Finally, you found your target.

You were stunned. At first, the fog shrouded you and you couldn't see anything clearly. But now, your world projection revealed a huge object. It was an extremely large gourd. Your world projection reached 90,000 kilometers, but it could only cover this gourd.

You begin to explore the area and discover seven identical gourds, all growing on a single giant vine. The enormous gourds appear dwarfed by the vine. You finally understand that the gourd vine, stretching over tens of millions of kilometers, is the true form of this unique creature.

[You understand that the old patriarch suffered from a lack of experience. It is normal for a special creature of this size to have extraordinary talents and secrets.]

After some investigation, you were relieved. This special life form had completely fallen into a deep sleep and showed no reaction to your arrival. The old patriarch was right. This is a great opportunity.

You quickly located the inner world of that special being, and without hesitation, used the secret technique of Star Soul Technique to seize its body. The other party's soul was far more powerful than yours, but its dormant soul had no power to resist. Facing an intruder like you, it could only be slaughtered by you.

You continue to seize the soul of that special life, and you also begin to obtain some scattered memories of this special life. You discover that it is a special life that was born in this foggy swamp. It was born less than a thousand years ago when it encountered the old patriarch. It was caught off guard and suffered a soul attack from the old patriarch. It then forced itself to activate its innate secret method while carrying the soul injury, which made the soul injury irreversible and forced it to fall into a deep sleep.

Soon you learned that this special life form is called the Seven Star Vine, a terrifying existence with a genetic level a thousand times higher. It is also the only Seven Star Vine born in the original universe.

The Seven Star Vine possesses two innate secrets: Time Turbulence and Gourd Clone. Time Turbulence was the heaven-defying secret technique that killed the old patriarch. A Realm Master-level Seven Star Vine could only unleash less than one-tenth of the power of this technique, but it still killed the old patriarch instantly.

[The Gourd Clone can be created through seven gourds to create seven clones that can move freely. The prerequisite for this is to obtain an external gene and combine it with the Seven Star Vine's own genes.]

[In addition, the gourd vine itself has very special genes. When it breeds seven clones, it will master the ability to merge. Once merged, it will instantly burst out with strength far beyond its previous level.]

You marvel at the gourd clone, a terrifying move. The Seven Star Vine, having only recently emerged, hasn't had time to select the right genes to nurture the clone. Otherwise, the old patriarch might not be its match. The treasure you consumed previously gave you a powerful soul, allowing you to take over another body smoothly. About thirty years later, you completely control this new body. While a large body is beneficial, it consumes a huge amount of energy to move, and isn't very flexible. You decide to immediately begin nurturing the 'gourd clone'.

[This innate secret technique can only be used once. The Seven Star Vine previously hesitated about which life form's genes to choose, but you didn't hesitate at all and directly chose the original body's genes.]

The two genes merged smoothly, lasting a hundred years. Seven gourds fell one after another, and seven 100-meter-tall giants, somewhat similar to your original form, emerged from them. Each giant's aura was extremely powerful, over a hundred times stronger than your previous self.

You soon discover that the essence of these seven clones is not flesh and blood, but plant life, and each clone's genetic level is about 700 times higher. Obviously, your human genes have dragged down the Seven Star Vine genes.

You attempt to merge your seven clones, and their powers combine perfectly, transforming into a terrifying being whose genetic level has reached five thousand times its original power. This surprises you, but according to your memory, this is already the ideal state. It seems human genes aren't that bad after all, and are still quite suitable for the Seven Star Vine's genes.

[However, you soon discovered that the fusion state had certain limitations and was difficult to maintain for too long. You didn't care, thinking it was normal. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Seven Star Vine to give birth to seven clones.]

The Seven Star Vine's strength has given you confidence, and you've also remembered the old patriarch's request. Your choices now are: 1. Go out and investigate the situation. 2. Gather resources in the Fog Sea Swamp.

"Investigate it," Zhou Yu made his choice.

With a clone, it would be convenient to investigate the situation, and I could also try my luck and perhaps come across another opportunity.

You quickly sent a clone out of the Fog Sea Swamp and truly set foot on the Endless Continent.

The Endless Continent is enormous, its diameter measured in light years. However, the Misty Swamp is located near the former gathering place of the human race. It doesn't take long for you to find the former gathering place according to the map, but now all the cities have become deserted, and some have even been completely razed. As you watch everything, you can't help but feel a trace of anger in your heart.

You left the human gathering place and began to travel around the continent, while investigating what happened.

The original attackers were the Frost Tribe, also flesh-and-blood creatures. Because their living environment was similar to humans', the two tribes frequently fought and harbored a deep hatred for each other.

After the human base camp was breached, the Frost Tribe did not give up and instead began to hunt down the remaining humans. However, the Endless Continent is too vast, and there should still be many remaining human forces hiding on the continent.

While traveling across the continent, you encountered a group of wandering humans. You offered them some help, but didn't do much else. You knew it wasn't time for you to truly confront the Frost Tribe. While your strength might not be inferior to that of the Frost Tribe's leader, if you went all out, you'd likely expose your special life form and attract the attention of other powerful beings. Only by becoming immortal could you overcome the fear of being possessed.

Time passes, your clone travels across the continent, while your original form, the Seven Star Vine, is concentrating on comprehending the laws. The transformation of your soul by the mysterious treasure, and the exceptionally clear perception of the laws brought by your special life form, all contribute to your rapid progress.

After about two thousand years, you've reached the final step in your understanding of the Law of Light. You understand that there's no bottleneck for special beings to become immortal. As long as you fully comprehend the Law of Light, you can break through and achieve immortality. At this point, you have two choices: 1. Continue to accumulate. 2. Break through directly.

"accumulation."

Zhou Yu made the choice without hesitation. The target of this simulation was the Lord of the Universe. A direct breakthrough would mean sacrificing his future.
