Universal Creation: Starting with a God Simulator!

Chapter 8: World Evolution, Birth of Extraordinary Creatures, Mechanical Descent!

【End of the First Era: The Dark Eight-Armed Monster rises, confronting the Anomalocaris head-on. Using its intelligence, it flanks them, taking advantage of the terrain and hiding in caves to defeat its enemies.】

【The Dark Eight-Armed Monster exterminates the Anomalocaris and becomes the new overlord! After dominating the oceans, it uses the knowledge from the whispers in its ears to actively attempt to devour world energy and try to land on the continent!】

【Land grows to 9 kilometers.】

【Early Second Era: The Dark Eight-Armed Monster successfully lands. Its tentacles are flexible and powerful, evolving organs for terrestrial respiration. The knowledge it gained from the universe made it realize the importance of tools.】

“This time, there might be a surprise,” Su Bai murmured.

Sure enough, the next text revealed an era-defining achievement!

【Land area grows to 10 kilometers! Breaking the limit and reaching a critical point—World Area can now be solidified!】

【Would you like to solidify it?】

Without hesitation, Su Bai said:

“Solidify!”

【Solidification successful! Next simulation will start with 10 kilometers!】

Just as he expected, the God Simulator indeed had this function!

“It feels like saving a game at a breakthrough point so it can be loaded next time,” Su Bai thought.

“I just wonder what the next solidified area will be—20 kilometers, or maybe 100 kilometers?”

The simulation continued, and this extreme test yielded surprising results.

It hadn’t died as early as expected.

【A new overlord is born, world foundations increase, total rewards: 200 Creation Points!】

【However, trapped by their instincts, the Dark Eight-Armed Monsters fear fire, causing their development to stall slightly.】

【A strange ripple passed through from deep space, as if a group of small beings had been listening to its words.】

…

The simulation soon entered a stagnant phase. The Dark Eight-Armed Monsters, now ruling both land and sea, found their greatest enemy to be themselves.

They attempted to use tools, but this was bound to be a lengthy process.

From the text in the simulation, Su Bai noticed something odd.

The mental strength of the Eight-Armed Monsters seemed extraordinarily strong.

This was why they could withstand the bizarre whispers without going mad too soon.

What puzzled him the most, though, was that as the Eight-Armed Monsters grew stronger, messages occasionally popped up.

They indicated some mysterious activity in the depths of the universe, but it didn’t seem to affect the simulation.

This left him completely baffled.

“What’s going on? Could it be a negative effect from Cthulhu? Does that knowledge come from the universe?”

Setting aside his doubts, Su Bai continued watching.

【Mid Second Era: As time passed, the Dark Eight-Armed Monsters gradually overcame their fear of fire and began using stone tools. However, their actions were cruel and dark. They would often sacrifice members of their own kind, praying to you, praying to the unknown entities in the universe.】

【By using fire and creating stone tools, you gain +200 Creation Points!】

Seeing more Creation Points credited, Su Bai felt a surge of joy.

But his happiness was short-lived.

He soon discovered that, with no external threats, the Dark Eight-Armed Monsters began to turn on each other and engage in infighting.

【Starting from mid-era, having dominated the world and with no enemies to be found, the Dark Eight-Armed Monsters, driven by their instincts, began slaughtering each other to grow stronger!】

“I just remembered—there’s that Slaughter ability too.”

Su Bai suddenly realized something, feeling a sense of unease.

Sure enough, things soon went wrong in the simulation.

【Due to mutual devouring and consuming their kin, the Zombie Virus concentrated in their bodies, causing the Dark Eight-Armed Monsters to mutate!】

【A new corrosive, infectious slime was generated. Their tentacles grew disgusting and deformed, and even their proud mental strength fell into chaos as they were gradually infected, transforming into Zombie Eight-Armed Monsters!】

“Did I mess this up?”

As expected, things got worse.

【Late Second Era: The Zombie Eight-Armed Monsters, driven by the thirst for power, continued to slaughter one another. Their numbers dwindled, and other creatures were also devoured.】

【At the end of the era, ten elite-level Zombie Eight-Armed Monsters fought in a final battle. One Eight-Armed Monster King devoured the remaining nine and stood on a pile of corpses before mutating again!】

【Using the knowledge gained from the whispers and the power of the virus, in a state of half-madness and half-rationality, it broke through the biological limits, mutating into an extraordinary creature—the King of Tentacle Monsters!】

【The first extraordinary creature has been born, +500 Creation Points!】

Su Bai’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected such a sudden twist.

What a huge surprise!

“An extraordinary creature? Doesn’t that mean this King of Tentacle Monsters contains high energy? How many could it fight?”

The excitement was overwhelming!

From what Su Bai knew, extraordinary creatures were fundamentally different from ordinary creatures!

Whether in terms of combat power, potential, or vitality!

Typically, only in awakened superpowered worlds did extraordinary creatures have a slight chance of being born.

It was impossible for such creatures to be born in his world under normal circumstances!

This was a one-in-a-million chance created by extreme circumstances!

It was completely unrepeatable!

“However, the entire world’s fortunes have been seized by it, so things might not go smoothly later on.”

Su Bai continued watching.

【Early Third Era: The invincible King of Tentacle Monsters roamed the land and sea, falling into madness from time to time. It couldn’t find any other creatures to communicate with—not even a single living thing!】

【A feeling of loneliness arose in its heart, making its mind increasingly unstable, as the whispers in its brain drove it further into madness, stripping away its remaining rationality!】…

【Late Third Era: After struggling for an entire era, the King of Tentacle Monsters mutilated itself, using its blood to create a strange sacrificial rune.】

【At the same time, a 50-meter-diameter meteor drifted from the cosmos and crashed into the land!】

Boom!

【The earth shook, vegetation was destroyed, and the King of Tentacle Monsters was killed by the explosion’s aftermath.】

【The Tianyuan Realm was destroyed, simulation ended.】

【This simulation survived for three eras, with the land expanding to a maximum of 20 kilometers. A total of 1,550 species were born, but no civilization emerged, though one extraordinary creature mutated!】

【Cooldown time: 30 minutes!】

“?? What just happened?”

Su Bai was utterly confused. Was this mechanical descent?

“Was there already a meteor strike at the end of the Third Era? What’s the point of developing the world further then?”

Just as he was about to celebrate his massive gains, Su Bai’s mood collapsed.

He had read about the dangers of the universe in textbooks.

Meteors, star beasts’ remains, warship debris, and other space junk sometimes crashed into worlds, leaving world masters to fend for themselves.

But he never thought he’d be so unlucky.

Only three eras had passed, and he’d already encountered one.

How was he supposed to develop now?

Su Bai felt a headache coming on. He hadn’t expected to encounter such an ultimate crisis so soon.

And he couldn’t even avoid it!

【Anomalocaris, Zombie Virus Aggregate (carrying numerous pathogens), Blood Algae (capable of turning the sea into a blood sea, absorbing and expelling oxygen, converting low-level energy)… Extraordinary Creature King of Tentacle Monsters!】
