Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 164 How will you know if you don't try?
beep!
A beautiful woman with blue hair, dressed in a white robe, appeared and smiled:
"Hello, Your Highness Minghai, may I ask if you are requesting the use of nutrient capsules? One hundred units? To advance from the first tier of the cosmic level to the ninth tier?"

"Yes!"

Minghai nodded.

"Your Highness, we will deliver the nutrient capsule to your residence within one day!"

The blue-haired woman smiled.

The call is closed.

"Saving on energy accumulation is still a very important thing!"

After ending the communication, the Dark Sea Passage.

Originally, with his special life form, even without cultivation, his life level would gradually rise to the ninth level of the universe level, and he would naturally advance to the domain lord.

But relying on natural growth, it would take a hundred years to advance even a small step, which is too slow.

Therefore, like other core geniuses of the virtual universe company, Minghai applied for a nutrient chamber, preparing to raise his life level to the ninth level of the universe in one go.

Although after reaching the ninth level of the cosmic realm, one will naturally evolve into a domain lord within a thousand years at most, and the entire process cannot be suppressed.

But he never imagined staying at the cosmic level for so long; a thousand years would be enough.

Having recently witnessed the profound spatial laws demonstrated to him by the Nine Swords Venerable, his understanding of the laws in the Nether Sea is now comparable to the twelfth level of the Bridge to Heaven. If he were to attempt it now, he would have an eighty or ninety percent chance of succeeding.

Even the highest standard of genius in the human universe is nothing more than this!
In other words, even if he were to advance to the Domain Lord level now, there would be no question of his foundation being unstable.

However, considering that only those at the cosmic level can execute the various tasks issued by the Virtual Universe Company, Minghai decided to stay at the cosmic level for the time being.

There were still many things in those mission worlds that attracted him.

what?
Are these mission worlds all dangerous? Even geniuses can fall?
joke.

Is the saying "As long as the sea of ​​blood never dries up, the blood demon will never die" false?

The thing that Minghai fears least is death!
Close the 'Life' section and open the 'Study' section.

The learning section is divided into 'Theory' and 'Practice'!
The theory is mainly taught in open classes throughout the entire Primal Zone. These classes are usually given by immortal beings, and occasionally even by cosmic venerables!

These courses are quite important.

Minghai told the virtual assistant to remind him whenever there were lectures by immortals from the Water and Sky lineage and the Ice Peak Chaos Stele lineage, as well as lectures by cosmic venerables, or courses specifically on the laws of space.

Then comes 'practice'.

The Practice section is divided into 'Bridge to Heaven', 'Sea of ​​Illusions', and 'Immortal Altar'.

The reader knows these things better than the author, so there's no need to describe them.

Next, Minghai clicked on the third tab, 'Cultivation', and found 'Cultivation Tasks'.

Cultivation missions are a series of training tasks prepared by the Virtual Universe Company for core geniuses at the cosmic level.

Based on the degree of danger, it is divided into five levels: 'Safe Level', 'Ordinary Level', 'Difficult Level', 'Dangerous Level', and 'Extreme Level'.

In general.

Safety level: fatality rate is 0.
Ordinary level: mortality rate is 10%.

Hard level: Mortality rate is 20%.

Risk level: mortality rate is 50%.

Desperate level: mortality rate is 90%.

"hehe!"

Looking at these missions categorized by their various danger levels based on mortality rates, Minghai chuckled.

"I hope to find a mission world that suits my taste!"

He muttered to himself and checked out the tasks one by one. There were hundreds of thousands of safe-level tasks; he quickly glanced through them, but none suited his taste, so he skipped them.

I've tried over ten thousand of the standard-grade ones, but they still don't meet my expectations.

Hard difficulty, over a thousand, some mission worlds are barely passable, oh well.

There are over a hundred dangerous missions, and most of them can satisfy Minghai's ideas, but...

Touching his chin, Minghai pondered to himself as he looked at the 186 dangerous missions.

"The secret realms where these mission worlds are located are mostly inhabited by humans. Although they are in a state of being domesticated, the Virtual Universe Company probably won't allow me to devour them on a large scale!"

he thought to himself.

Yes, he chose the mission world not for the company's rewards such as points after the mission was completed, but for whether it was suitable for the Blood Sea Devouring Evolution!

Purchasing monsters in the universe is too troublesome, and devouring life-bearing planets on a large scale will inevitably be blocked by the human race's higher-ups, which is inconvenient.

However, the natives of these secret realms are merely assessment tasks set by the human race's high-ranking officials for their core geniuses. In essence, they are nothing more than domesticated livestock, and their status is completely different from that of the human race in the outer universe.

Putting aside everything else, just take the Blood Luo Continent that Luo Feng visited in the original timeline. The natives there were not even allowed to leave!

Any native humans who attempt to leave or rebel will be ruthlessly suppressed by the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace outside!

Isn't this just domestication?
The mission worlds released by the human race's high-ranking officials to hone their core geniuses are basically all like this!
However, in safe, normal, and difficult worlds, the average cultivation level of the natives is too low. In many worlds, they are just apprentices, not even at the planetary level. When the blood sea devours and dissolves, the blood water conversion efficiency is too poor.

Only dangerous worlds like the Blood Vein World, where the average cultivation level of the natives reaches above the planetary level, with many at the stellar level, and a large number at the cosmic and domain lord levels, are suitable for the current Blood Sea.

To advance from a 10,000-kilometer-scale sea of ​​blood to a 100,000-kilometer-scale sea, it needs to devour hundreds of billions of cosmic-level ninth-tier 'Sky Giants'.

A 'sky behemoth', roughly the size of a million humans.

In other words, it would require devouring trillions of cosmic-level ninth-tier humans!

It could be a ninth-level Domain Lord with hundreds of billions of domains, or a ninth-level World Lord with millions of worlds!

"Although the number is large, there are countless stellar-level, cosmic-level, and domain lord-level humans in these 'dangerous' worlds, enough to allow Blood Sea to advance!"

With one hand stroking his chin, Minghai's eyes gleamed with a chilling light as he looked at the mission description on the screen and thought to himself.

According to the Blood Continent, it is a vast continent with a diameter of nearly one light-year, and there are countless native humans living on it, which is enough to meet the conditions for advancement to the Blood Sea.

What is the concept of one light-year?
The Sun is only 59 billion kilometers away from Pluto.

In other words, excluding the Kuiper Belt, the diameter of the inner solar system is less than 120 billion kilometers!
Less than one-hundredth of a light-year!

One percent of a light-year encompasses Earth and the eight planets, as well as the vast expanse of space between them.

Tell me, how many humans live on a vast continent with a diameter of one light-year?
In addition, the Blood Continent is a world with a strong cultivation atmosphere. Not to mention Immortals and World Lords, Stellar-level, Universe-level, and Domain Lord-level beings are practically everywhere.

Such a world could definitely provide enough life for Blood Sea advancement!
There is a problem.

Minghai knew that although the human race's higher-ups didn't really care about these domesticated native humans, they wouldn't allow anyone to massacre them.

The indigenous human race is still human. If a peerless genius emerges from among them, the higher-ups of the human race would be willing to nurture him!
In fact, these secret realms are part of the human race's process of eliminating and refining geniuses.

Geniuses selected from 1008 cosmic nations are trained here, and even the native geniuses can hone themselves through counterattacks.

Regardless of which side it is, as long as they demonstrate sufficient talent, they will be selected by the human race's higher-ups.

The universe is cold and ruthless, and the struggle between races is extremely cruel. In order to cultivate strong individuals and strengthen the race, the selection of geniuses within the human race is equally brutal!

But there's always a bottom line.

From the perspective of the human race's high command, the plan of the Underworld Sea to massacre the natives of the secret realm, allowing the Blood Sea to devour and dissolve them, and thus advance further, has considerable problems.

It will most likely be stopped.

How will you know if you don't try?
