Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 486 97700 Times the Genes, Luo Feng Breaks Through to the Universe Venerable Level

"Ireil, the task of monitoring the World Beasts is entrusted to you."

Outside the dimly lit area, after dealing with the last Beast of the Realm, Chen Yuan gave instructions to Ireil ​​beside him.

"Don't worry, Master."

Ireil ​​smiled confidently: "The virtual universe has already marked the aura of all the world beasts. As long as these world beasts dare to leave, I can sense them immediately and dispatch my illusory clones to deal with them."

Since breaking through to true godhood with the Infinite Divine Body, and with the help of the virtual universe, Ireil ​​has also made up for her shortcomings in arcane arts.

Now, relying on her infinitely burning divine power, her true strength is no weaker than that of a Void True God. Even if she were to divide herself into thousands of illusory clones, the strength of each illusory clone would be no less than that of a ninth-order True God.

"That's good."

Chen Yuan was quite relieved about this. He nodded slightly and said, "The hundreds of Beasts that just emerged were probably testing us. Now that they know what I said is true, they shouldn't easily send their own kind out of their nest."

"In this way, we won't have to worry about the threat of the World Beasts for a while."

The "mark" he just mentioned to the Beast was not false.

Back when he first fought the Beasts of the Realm, Chen Yuan used his mental power to record the auras of more than 800 million Beasts of the Realm and uploaded them to the virtual universe.

His mental power could even deceive the primordial will, so how could these world beasts, whose strongest were only at the second tier, possibly detect it?

After uploading this data to the virtual universe, Chen Yuan could say that he had completely grasped the whereabouts of the world beasts by using the detection capabilities of the virtual universe network.

As long as any Beast dares to leave the Dark Land, he can instantly detect it and use his teleportation power to arrive at its side and kill it.

The hundreds of beasts used for probing earlier perished in this way, and with Chen Yuan's killing efficiency, the total time was less than two seconds.

Of course, since Chen Yuan himself still needed to cultivate, after dealing with this group of world beasts, he summoned Ireil ​​and entrusted her with the task of monitoring the world beasts' nest.

Anyway, with Irelia's strength, as long as the World Beasts don't all swarm out at once, she can easily deal with them.

"Don't worry, this situation won't last long."

Chen Yuan said, "I am confident that I can eliminate all the World Beasts within one era at most."

His mental will is now nearing its end in the early stages of eternity. At this rate, his willpower will reach the peak of eternity within ten thousand years at most.

With the addition of the Mind Cultivation Method and the Hundred Refinements System, Chen Yuan's mental will is comparable to that of a saint.

With his Saint-level willpower combined with the Lieyuan Technique, Chen Yuan could instantly kill all World Beasts and completely resolve the World Beast calamity.

Ireil ​​was well aware of this, and immediately nodded, saying, "Master, you can focus on your cultivation. Leave this to me."

Although the work of monitoring the Beasts is rather tedious, it is for the sake of other life forms.

For intelligent life, this kind of work is nothing, not to mention that it only takes one era.

This is also why Chen Yuan felt comfortable entrusting the surveillance task to Irene.

After arranging all this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief: "It's time to go back and continue my seclusion."

"Perfect timing. We've collected quite a few body materials from world beasts this time. Let's hand them over to the clone to study and see if they can bring any surprises."

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan nodded slightly to Irene and then disappeared.

In the primordial universe, in the spacetime of Wuchen, in the territory of Qianbao River.

Upon returning to his residence, Chen Yuan did not inform anyone of the information about the Beast of the Realm, so naturally no one knew that he had just fought a great battle against an entity that could be described as a catastrophe in the primordial universe.

He went out as if on a whim, returned within half an hour, and then went back into seclusion.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Yuan's actions went unnoticed by anyone.

As for the materials from the Beast Realms, he had already placed them in the optimization space, where his clone in the Tomb Ship could use them at will. Chen Yuan only occasionally paid attention to the clone's research progress.

It must be said that the physical structure of the World Beasts is indeed very different from that of the life forms in the Cosmic Sea, which has broadened Chen Yuan's horizons and brought him a constant stream of inspiration.

Compared to life forms in other-dimensional universes, the efficiency improvement brought by the World Beast materials is very obvious. Moreover, the life structure of each World Beast is unique, which keeps Chen Yuan's research always fresh.

Moreover, when the World Beast was upgraded from the first tier to the second tier, its life structure diagram also underwent an evolution.

Even if we can only glimpse the incomplete life structure through the remaining limbs, the research efficiency is still a qualitative leap compared to the first stage.

"If the second order is like this, what about the third, fourth, or even higher orders?"

Inside the Tomb Ship, Chen Yuan's avatar shook his head slightly. "No wonder, in the system's deduced plan, to achieve a perfect divine body, one must rely on the life structure of a Beast King."

"Unfortunately, the world beasts at this stage haven't fully developed yet; the strongest are only at the second tier."

If he could obtain the body materials of third- to sixth-tier world beasts, he was even confident that he could perfect his life genes to a level of 99999 times in a short period of time.

Most importantly, improving the genetic level in this way will not affect the effectiveness of the final Beast King materials.

Because every time a Beast advances to a higher level, its life structure diagram undergoes a mutation, making it almost like a completely different species compared to the past, the resulting research progress will be entirely new.

"Let's not even talk about the third-tier and higher realm beasts. Even the research efficiency for the first and second tiers is worlds apart from what it used to be."

For more than two thousand years since Chen Yuan broke through to the Infinite Divine Body, his avatar has been researching life genes inside the Tomb Ship. However, in such a long time, his life level has only increased by a mere 94803 times.

It took more than two thousand years, and more than two million eras passed inside the Tomb Ship, yet his genetic level only increased by a mere three times!

This research efficiency represents a precipitous drop compared to before he broke through to the Infinite Divine Body.

However, after he began researching materials from the Beast Realm, his life level, which had stagnated for a long time, began to advance by leaps and bounds again.

Almost every day that passes in the outside world, his genes can increase by one to two times. Occasionally, when he has a burst of inspiration, his genes can even increase by three or four times.

This situation only began to decrease sharply after his life level broke through 95000 times, but compared with the previous level of the research world beast, the improvement was still considerable.

About eighty years later, Chen Yuan's genes reached 96000 times. After that, his research efficiency decreased again, and at the same time, he had basically finished researching the materials related to first-order world beasts.

Subsequently, Chen Yuan began researching materials for second-tier world beasts, which finally led to a recovery in research efficiency.

Another 130 years passed, and he broke through 97000 times the genetic barrier, after which his research efficiency predictably plummeted again.

At the same time, he had consumed more than half of his second-tier world beast materials. According to his calculations, the remaining materials should not be enough for him to break through 98000 times.

Indeed, it took Chen Yuan ninety-six years to exhaust the remaining materials.

Ultimately, his genetic level was fixed at 97700 times.

Wuchen Time and Space, Qianbao River Territory.

After the avatar had exhausted all the materials from the World Beasts, it transmitted this message, along with the latest life structure diagram, to the original Earthling in the primordial universe.

"More than ten million World Beast corpses actually boosted their genes by almost 2900 times?"

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Are the materials from the Beast Realm so useful?"

This research efficiency was so impressive that it even made his heart flutter. You have to know that he had spent two thousand years before he could only improve his genes by a mere three times!

It has increased 2900 times in just over 300 years?

However, along with the life structure diagram came research logs about the materials of the Beast Realm. After reviewing these logs, Chen Yuan had no choice but to abandon this plan for the time being.

There's no other reason than that, because with his life genes exceeding 97000 times, first-tier world beast materials have become completely useless, and even the effects of second-tier materials have begun to be greatly reduced.

Even though he has already researched up to 97700 times the gene, the research difficulty increases dramatically with each subsequent doubling of the gene count.

Even if the gene is improved by 100 times, the research difficulty is even greater than the previous 700 times combined.

According to the incarnation's estimate, to break through the 98000-fold gene barrier, more than five million complete second-tier world beast ruler bodies would be needed.

Five million heads!

It's important to understand that we're still in the early stages of the World Beast's development. Not a single third-tier World Beast has been born in the entire Dark Land yet, and second-tier World Beasts are already considered the elite of the elite.

Of the more than ten million world beasts he killed, almost 99% were first-tier, while only a few tens of thousands were second-tier, accounting for less than one percent.

Based on this ratio, if he wanted to obtain five million second-tier world beasts, he would need to wipe out almost all the existing second-tier world beasts in the Dark Land.

But if he really does that, he will definitely drive all the remaining world beasts insane. At that time, more than 800 million world beasts will break out of their nests and scatter throughout the cosmic sea, killing and destroying everywhere.

Even though he could accurately determine the movements of each Realm Beast through the virtual universe, it would still take a considerable amount of time to kill them all, not to mention the possible evolution of the Realm Beasts during that time.

Even if he is able to resolve the calamity of the World Beasts, the various races in the Cosmic Sea will suffer heavy losses. If a World Beast King is born directly, Chen Yuan's current strength does not guarantee an absolute victory.

At that time, the disasters that the Cosmic Sea will suffer will be even more severe.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan had no choice but to abandon the idea.

"We still have to wait, not only for my strength to continue to improve, but also for more high-level beings to emerge from among the World Beasts."

Chen Yuan was well aware that the reason he needed so many second-tier world beasts for research was because the research efficiency brought by second-tier world beasts had begun to decline significantly.

If it were replaced with a third-tier world beast, it would probably only take tens of thousands of them to make his genes exceed 98000 times.

As for after 98000, you need to switch to fourth-tier world beasts to reach the highest efficiency. Perhaps a few thousand beasts will be enough to get through this stage and reach the final 999 times gene.

Next, we will study fifth- and sixth-order world beasts.

According to the conjecture brought by the avatar, he doesn't even need a sixth-order world beast; at most, a few dozen fifth-order world beasts would be enough to raise his genetic level to the limit of 99999 times.

Even if we start with a 97700-fold increase in genes, at most a hundred fifth-tier world beasts would be enough to handle it.

"We still have to win by quality."

Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Letting the World Beasts fight each other will not only greatly reduce the number of enemies, but also give rise to higher-level World Beasts, bringing me better materials."

"To attack the World Beast now for a mere three hundred times the genetic potential is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, and the consequences will be unbearable."

In his opinion, the best time to make a move would be when the World Beasts began to give birth to fifth-tier beings, since the time it would take him to kill first-tier beings and fifth-tier beings was not much different.

With that thought in mind, he completely abandoned the idea of ​​taking action and decided to first secure the benefits he had already gained.

So, in the time that followed, everyone in the Wuchen spacetime saw a tall humanoid creature, 2.4 light-years in size, disintegrate and reassemble in the void.

Of course, almost everyone in the entire Wuchen spacetime knows about this humanoid creature. He is the ruler of the primordial universe, the only leader of the human race, and the master of the Primordial Tower—the Primordial Lord!

"Why is Chen Yuan suddenly displaying his divine body?"

"However, such a large divine body—its power is truly terrifying."

In another mansion, the Lord of Darkness left the palace, gazing up at Chen Yuan's figure with a sense of unease.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Chaos City was also watching this scene.

"Chen Yuan's divine body is being reconstructed—this is the cultivation method of the divine power route."

The Lord of Chaos City murmured, "It seems Chen Yuan's life level has improved again? That's terrifying."

According to the information recorded in the Divine Power Stream inheritance, once the gene exceeds 90,000 times, it becomes extremely difficult to improve further, and the cost-effectiveness is very low.

It can be said that almost every genius, after completing the Infinite Divine Body, will break through to the True God realm without hesitation.

However, Chen Yuan's existence broke this common sense. Despite having already achieved the Infinite Divine Body, he showed no intention of breaking through and instead continued to pursue the legendary limit.

"However, given Chen Yuan's talent, it's only natural that he would push the limits."

The Lord of Chaos City stared unblinkingly at the enormous figure on the horizon. "The emergence of Chen Yuan is truly a blessing for the entire human race, even—hmm?"

He suddenly paused, his gaze shifting from Chen Yuan to another residence.

Above the mansion, a five-colored vortex gradually began to appear.

"That's... Luo Feng's residence?!"

The Lord of Chaos City recognized the owner of the mansion at a glance, and his expression immediately lit up with joy: "Luo Feng has broken through to the Universe Venerable level!"

""

"Huh, Luo Feng has also broken through. What a coincidence."

Chen Yuan blinked, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the five-colored vortex that had suddenly appeared.

In that instant, Luo Feng below had already completed his breakthrough, and the vortex of laws above his head began to pour out, with endless divine power flowing into Luo Feng's several clones.

"This kid actually carried the Nether Sea Avatar with him. No wonder the Five-Colored Vortex appeared here."

Under normal circumstances, this law vortex would only appear at the most important clone, namely Luo Feng's Nether Sea clone body.

The problem now is that Luo Feng has already put his main body, the Nether Sea clone spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers, into the Nine Prisons Tower, which is the top-tier treasure that he crafted for Luo Feng.

This palace treasure, though specializing in time manipulation, still has a maximum internal space with a diameter of one light-year, more than enough to accommodate the Nether Sea clone.

When the three avatars gathered here, the vortex of laws naturally appeared here.

At this moment, Chen Yuan had already modified his life structure diagram, and his true self's life level had reached 97700 times the peak. However, he did not leave, but instead watched Luo Feng, whose Nether Sea clone was absorbing the gifts from the primordial universe to transform into a divine body.

But clearly, apart from the one breakthrough to immortality, the remaining breakthroughs allowed for a very short period of time to fully transform divine power.

Especially for a clone as large as the Nether Sea, it is impossible to complete the transformation in one go.

"In that case, I'll help you out."

Chen Yuan reached out and lightly touched the five-colored vortex on the horizon. The vortex, which was about to dissipate, solidified again.

Below, Luo Feng, who was originally preparing to end the meeting normally, was also taken aback: "Chen Yuan?"

"What are you waiting for? I can't hold back the vortex of laws for too long."

A familiar voice entered Luo Feng's ears, jolting him awake. He then activated his Nether Sea clone, trying his best to absorb the endless divine power.

About half an hour later, all of his clones had completed their transformation!
