Universal Creation: Starting with a God Simulator!

Chapter 7: Zombie Virus, Simulation on the Extreme Route!

【The Anomalocaris and the Corpse-eating Flower went mad during their battle.】

【As various species went extinct, the world gradually fell silent. The world’s barrier weakened, allowing more cosmic knowledge to flood in!】

【The two dominant species died from food shortages and the mental collapse caused by the influx of knowledge!】

【The Tianyuan Realm fell into silence, ending this simulation!】

【Total species born: 1,150. Creation Points earned: 290. The Tianyuan Realm’s land grew to 5 kilometers!】

【This simulation survived for two eras, cooldown time: 15 minutes!】

Looking at the text in front of him, Su Bai sighed.

“Cthulhu brings success and failure alike.”

“What would have happened if it hadn’t interfered and the world just kept surviving?”

Su Bai was curious.

Wasn’t the purpose of the simulator to allow unlimited trial and error?

Others managed their worlds cautiously, fearing any mistake would cause an explosion.

But Su Bai could afford to make bold reforms—if it failed, he could just start over.

Perhaps that was why this time the simulation ended in the middle of the second era, even shortening the cooldown period.

As he thought about it, another line of text appeared.

【You may choose to retain one of the following:】

【Primordial Mother Fungus, Angiosperm Seeds, Devouring Worms, Anomalocaris, Corpse-eating Flower…】

This time, there were many options.

However, Su Bai quickly noticed the two mutated dominant species.

One symbolized marine life, and the other symbolized terrestrial plants.

Both represented extremes in their respective domains.

“I choose the Anomalocaris.”

Su Bai made his decision.

But the following temporary fixed ability gave him a bit of a headache.

Cthulhu’s power was useful but caused too many quick deaths.

On the other hand, the Taotie devouring ability was more stable, allowing biological strengths to combine into the perfect life form.

“However, its positive and negative effects both reach the level of an orange-tier ability. This huge harvest was largely due to its role.”

“Let’s try again. If it doesn’t work, I’ll switch it out without hesitation!”

Weighing the pros and cons, Su Bai decided to retain “Call of Cthulhu.”

In truth, he was hoping to get the guaranteed orange-tier ability from a tenfold draw.

Su Bai glanced at the simulator, which displayed Creation Points: 2,109.

This was mainly a reward from the Cambrian explosion of life, which likely wouldn’t happen next time.

Still, the Tianyuan Realm had grown to 5 kilometers, reaching the average level of an awakened being.

As for 10 kilometers, like Xiang Hu, that would make him one of the top students at the academy.

Class leader Chi Lansu’s 20 kilometers placed her among the elite few in their year.

If someone awakened a special world or energy, they would be directly admitted to one of the Ten Great Cosmic Universities!

Shaking his head, Su Bai stopped thinking about it.

His consciousness returned to reality.

To his surprise, he found that his body had been slightly strengthened.

His previously loose muscles had tightened, and his lung capacity had improved.

He tested his strength and found he could lift 50 kilograms with one hand!

“I’ve always heard that as a world grows stronger, its creator becomes more powerful.”

“Under normal circumstances, as the world gradually absorbs cosmic energy and creatures manage their growth, the world’s main evolution is slow.”

“But with the simulator, I can rise to power at the fastest pace!”

Su Bai smiled.

The only pity was that this seemed to be a one-time effect.

Moreover, starting the next simulation would return him to 1 kilometer again.

“I wonder when I’ll be able to retain the world’s size from previous simulations.”

Su Bai speculated that the God Simulator probably had this function.

It just hadn’t been unlocked yet.

Otherwise, why would it remind him that the larger the world, the more Creation Points were required?

The second simulation’s rewards were massive.

Su Bai calmed down for 15 minutes until he heard the familiar notification.

Ding-dong, cooldown period over!

“Continue the simulation.”

Su Bai’s consciousness once again sank into the simulation.

A flicker of text appeared before his eyes.

“I hope the guaranteed ability shows up soon.”

With some anxiety, he clicked on the tenfold draw.

Smoke-like abilities flickered before his eyes.

Su Bai quickly glanced through them and felt a bit disappointed—there was still no orange-tier ability.

However, to his surprise, a purple-tier ability appeared this time.

It was even stronger than the Taotie devouring ability, and better yet, it had a complementary effect with “Call of Cthulhu!”

【Zombie Virus (Purple): “You will release a biological virus into the world, causing creatures to become demonic. Their strength and mental capabilities will be greatly enhanced, but at the cost of rationality and intelligence. The chance of developing a civilization is reduced. When combined with abilities of similar attributes, unique chemical reactions may occur.”】

【Mad Slaughter (Blue): “Creatures gain experience through slaughter, making it easier for them to strengthen and evolve.”】

“They’re already insane, might as well go all out.”

“Cthulhu, let’s see how far you can go!”

This time, Su Bai was very bold.

He took a highly aggressive route. If he had been creating the world in reality, he wouldn’t have dared to be so reckless.

But this was a simulation!

He quickly initiated the third simulation.

【Do you want to load a card?】

“Load the climate card.”

Su Bai hesitated slightly but decided not to use the S-card due to its high cost.

He would experiment with it once he had accumulated more Creation Points.

【Begin the Creation Journey—】

【The heavens and earth opened, and God Su Bai awakened. The Tianyuan Realm was born.】

【Early First Era: You declared, “Let there be rain,” and so a great rain fell from the sky. But no one expected that this rain would bring life to the oceans.】

【Along with the virus and madness! The climate card activated, and the Zombie Virus ability took effect!】

“So soon?”

Su Bai was surprised, realizing this simulation might be extraordinary.

【Mid First Era: Blue-green algae in the ocean mutated into blood algae, spreading a blood mist over the sea’s surface.】

【The trilobites and jawed fish that had already evolved fell into madness, slaughtering one another. The Anomalocaris reaped the most benefits, gradually dominating the ocean! (Mad Slaughter ability activated)】

【Late First Era: You were amazed to discover that the ocean had turned into a sea of blood. The former overlord, the Anomalocaris, did not emerge victorious in the end. Instead, a creature similar to an octopus, covered in tentacles, showed better adaptability to cosmic knowledge.】

【This creature, called the Dark Eight-Armed Monster, retained a sliver of rationality amidst its mutterings. It learned to strategize, growing its race from the weakest fish species while avoiding the Anomalocaris’ hunts.】

“Two negatives make a positive?”

Su Bai was pleasantly surprised. In a world driven mad, there was still a creature able to maintain its rationality.

That was truly rare!

Even more surprising, the Tianyuan Realm had expanded to 8 kilometers, and it hadn’t even completed one era!

“It seems that different creatures have different levels of adaptability. The Eight-Armed Monster seems to handle Cthulhu’s whispers better.”

He settled in to continue observing.
