In the shadow of a meteorite somewhere on the Flame Sacrifice Continent, the Firewood Squad's E9-class spaceship remained silent.

Inside the lounge, Lin Yuan was concentrating on comprehending the laws of space, while the task of selecting hunting targets based on the detectors was left to Ren. After hundreds of thousands of years of fighting side by side, they had long since developed a tacit understanding.

Suddenly, Yue, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them, her gaze beneath the crimson-gold mask narrowing slightly as she looked at Lin Yuan.

"Meng Qi." Her cool voice rang out, using her team's code name. "The military system has sent an internal message that our team's bounty on the alien side has been significantly increased."

Besides the usual military merits and treasures, there seem to be targeted assassination missions as well. Confirmed intelligence indicates that more than one or two alien king-level powerhouses are interested in our team and may be moving towards the vicinity of the Flame Sacrifice Continent.

Lin Yuan withdrew from his meditative state, his brows furrowing slightly.

He had not seen such detailed information in the publicly available intelligence of the military system.

Before he could ask, Ren, who was standing to the side, also came to his senses and added seriously, "Yue's information is accurate. I just received similar news. Our current bounty is almost comparable to that of some veteran king-level powerhouses."

Resources of this caliber attract not only ordinary low-level Kings, but also potentially high-level or even higher-level Kings.

Blade's words confirmed Yue's intelligence. Lin Yuan understood and did not delve into why they were able to obtain this kind of information earlier than he, the captain.

Teacher Yan Yue Wang is an invincible king-level expert. Although he operates in the form of an avatar, his authority within the human race's intelligence system is naturally extremely high.

As for Ren, this peerless genius who displayed the high-level combat strength of a Marquis during his Realm Lord era, it is perfectly normal for him to have a teacher who is a Universe Venerable or even a higher being, whose authority exceeds that of Ren, who has just begun to show his talent.

"However..." Lin Yuan thought to himself, "After a while, my strength and authority within the company should also be improved."

He focused his mind on the World Ring, sensing the aura of the Zerg Queen Vicona within, and weighed the current situation of his team and the impending crisis before making a decision.

He looked up at Ren: "I know you can break through to immortality at any time, but you have been suppressing it for the sake of the super-fast speed of law comprehension at the realm master stage."

Now tell me, are you confident that you can break through to the peak of the Marquisate level?

Upon hearing this, a relaxed smile appeared on Ren's face, and he nodded: "Of course. These hundreds of thousands of years of battles have greatly honed my swordsmanship and application of laws."

"My journey on the battlefields beyond this territory is about to come to an end." His tone was calm, yet it exuded absolute confidence.

Once he breaks through to immortality, his strength will undoubtedly experience a qualitative leap based on his understanding of the fundamental laws of space.

"That's good." Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his plan becoming clearer.

He looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "In that case, you two should go back to the barracks base to rest and prepare some gifts for the friends who came looking for us by following the scent."

After hundreds of thousands of years of fighting side by side, Yue and Ren instantly understood the unspoken meaning in Lin Yuan's words.

The so-called "gift" is a special method for dealing with those powerful alien kings.

"I need to leave the team temporarily to take care of personal matters," Lin Yuan continued. "The team's next collective operation is tentatively scheduled for fifty years from now. In the meantime, you are free to make your own arrangements."

Yue gave Lin Yuan a deep look. She seemed to understand what Lin Yuan was going to do, but she didn't ask any questions. She simply replied, "Understood."

She vaguely knew that Lin Yuan had captured a Zerg queen on Battlefield No. 9 and made her his servant. His decision to leave the team at this moment was most likely related to that queen's breakthrough.

The Zerg Queen's breakthrough was too drastic and could easily attract attacks on the outer battlefields. Returning to the heart of human territory would be the wiser move.

Ren nodded to indicate that he understood.

Although he did not know exactly what Lin Yuan was going to do, he had no objection to the captain's decision.

"Let's go." Yue didn't delay any longer. A powerful divine force enveloped the blade, and the two figures disappeared from the spaceship in the next moment, directly returning to the 026th barracks base through the divine kingdom teleportation.

……

In the glorious universe, in the Priest Starfield, on the planet Lunna, surrounded by Flame Star Grass.

A ripple spread through the space, and Lin Yuan appeared from the void.

He first glanced at the fiery red plant that had completely replaced the planet not far away—his auxiliary life form, Flame Star Grass.

After helping it break through to immortality, Lin Yuan planted its main body here, while he only carried a portion of the armor formed from the other's divine body.

But as the long years have passed, Lin Yuan has already broken through to the peak of the Marquis title, while it still cannot advance any further... It will probably be eliminated in the future.

After confirming that everything in the surrounding star field was normal and there was no unusual spying, Lin Yuan waved his hand and set up several layers of spatial blockade, temporarily isolating this area from the outside world.

hum!

A purplish-black Zerg hive with a diameter of over 500 kilometers appeared out of thin air in the starry sky.

Immediately afterwards, the surface of the mother nest undulated, opening a portal.

A woman with fair skin and an exquisitely beautiful figure walked out gracefully; it was none other than Vikona, the Zerg Queen.

At this moment, however, her beautiful face lacked the languor and killing intent she displayed on the battlefield outside the domain, and instead showed more solemnity and anticipation.

"Master." Vikona bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan, her voice trembling slightly.

Hundreds of thousands of years!

Ever since Lin Yuan converted her with the Divine Transformation Technique, she had been waiting for this moment.

Although a World Lord-level Mother Queen is considered a powerful figure in the outer battlefield, she still has weaknesses when facing true immortal gods. If she is not careful to expose her true form, she may even perish.

Only by breaking through to immortality can she truly unleash the terror of the Zerg Queen, create immortal-level Zerg warriors, and become a powerful force in her master's hands.

For hundreds of thousands of years, Lin Yuan has almost continuously used those magical Devil Fruits, allowing her insectoid warriors to devour and develop them, ultimately feeding back all the insights into the laws to her.

This extremely extravagant cultivation method pushed her to the point where she was only one step away from mastering the three profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of space.

She had already clearly sensed this step and was ready to take it at any time.

"This place is located in the heart of the human race's territory, so it's safe and secure," Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, looking at her. "You've suppressed your feelings for too long; it's time for you to break through."

"Yes, Master!" Vikona's eyes shone brightly.

She no longer suppressed herself, and her mind completely immersed herself in the final profound understanding of the fundamental laws of space.

In an instant, centered on Vicona, the invisible laws of space rippled violently.

The once calm starry sky seemed to have been rippled outwards in circles as if a giant rock had been thrown into the lake.

The surrounding light began to distort, the light of distant stars seemed to be stretched or folded, and some tiny cosmic dust particles disappeared into thin air and reappeared in another place.

Lin Yuan's expression was serious. He further reinforced the surrounding blockade and asked Ancestor Lin Meng to appease the people of the empire.

The Zerg Queen's breakthrough to Immortality is a leap to the King level, and the commotion it causes will be significant.

Although this is the heart of human territory, necessary concealment is still essential.

Vicona's aura continued to rise, and the resonance between her soul fluctuations and the fundamental laws of space grew stronger and stronger.

The massive hive behind her trembled in sync, with the roar of countless Zerg warriors emanating from within. It was the hive responding to its master's breakthrough, preparing to welcome the ultimate transformation of life.

"boom!!!"

It was as if a silent thunderclap had exploded on the level of the soul.

Vikona suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, and countless phantom images of spatial rifts appearing and disappearing flashed in her vision.

The space around her was no longer just rippling, but began to fold and layer on its own!

The three profound mysteries of spatial blockade, spatial strangulation, and spatial teleportation were completely perfected in her soul.

The vast and boundless ocean of spatial laws in the primordial origin of the universe has been stirred!

Despite being separated by endless time and space, the supreme and supreme pressure of the law still penetrated all obstacles and descended upon this star field.

A far greater and purer aura of law than that of humans during their immortal breakthroughs descended, completely enveloping Vikona and the Mother Nest behind her.

Her body began to emit a shimmering light, and her life essence was undergoing a leap.

The primal force and psychic power of the World Lord level are rapidly transforming into higher and more powerful immortal divine power!

The size of the nest behind her was also subtly expanding under the infusion of the power of the laws, its color becoming deeper, the golden patterns on its surface shining brightly, its structure becoming more solid, and the energy level of the internal nurturing space increasing dramatically.

This process lasted for a full day and night.

When the ocean of primordial laws departed and the starry sky returned to calm, the aura of Vikona suspended there had undergone a tremendous change.

An immortal deity! And a Zerg queen who leaped to the pinnacle of kingship in one step!

She slowly rose to her feet, her body naturally radiating powerful fluctuations of immortal divine energy and an oppressive aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Her face became even more perfect and beautiful, but deep within her eyes lay a soul power that could frighten even a king-level expert.

The hive behind her also exuded an indestructible quality, and a chilling hissing sound emanated from within—the sound of countless Zerg hordes cheering for the Overmind's ascension.

"Congratulations," Lin Yuan said with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master!" Vikona bowed again, her voice filled with excitement and gratitude.

Without the Devil Fruit and resources provided by her master, she would never have been able to reach the threshold of immortality in such a short time.

"No need for formalities." Lin Yuan waved his hand and asked the question he was most concerned about, "After breaking through to Immortality, what level of Zerg warriors can you produce now? What's your production efficiency like?"

Vikona sensed the changes in herself and the mother nest for a moment and quickly replied, "Master, after breaking through to immortality, the mother nest's fertility has greatly increased."

I can now reliably produce Immortal-class warriors for several major combat sequences, such as the Tiger Beetle King, the Mantis Hunter General, and the Silver Blade Mantis Commander.

Thanks to a significant increase in their own strength, the warriors they produce are roughly equivalent to those between high-ranking military lords and those newly enfeoffed as marquises, with slight differences depending on the type of troop and the resources invested.

"As for efficiency..." Vicona calculated for a moment and continued, "Producing immortal-level units requires consuming my essence, so the maximum number that can be bred is 50,000."

Considering the great battle ahead for my master, I consumed a portion of my essence during my advancement to elevate over ten thousand elite warriors to the Immortal level. Among them, five are at the peak of the Marquis rank, twenty are at the advanced Marquis rank, one hundred are at the initial Marquis rank, and the rest are all advanced military lords.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Yuan felt very gratified.

As expected of the Divine Transformation Technique created by the Ruthless Great Emperor, those who are converted completely put their masters first, and even during the advancement process, they think about solving problems for their masters.

With over ten thousand immortal-level Zerg warriors, plus Queen Vicona, he was not afraid of even a King-level powerhouse!
