Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 157 News of a Special Life

From the discovery of the World Lord by the swarm in 2061 to Qin Mu receiving the inheritance and breaking through the secret chamber, it took more than three years.

In fact, it took Qin Mu less than two years to simply comprehend the realm of earth, and even to touch the origin of earth.

With the talent of the Rock Giant, the Son of the Earth, Qin Mu could sense the fluctuations of the earth. His progress in the Earth Domain was extremely fast. In the second year, he reached the fifth level of the Earth Domain and had already sensed the fundamental laws of the earth.

As for the fundamental laws of space, Qin Mu had already crossed the threshold long ago, and there were no obstacles to him.

Even with the assistance of the entire swarm of insects, they were still stumped by the initial fusion of the earth and space essence.

Qin Mu had actually encountered this when he was comprehending the fusion of fire and the origin of space, as well as the fusion of metal and the origin of space.

Qin Mu only truly understood that the fusion could be completed quickly, and that it occurred during an extremely intense battlefield when the Zerg actively evolved and mutated, resulting in a fundamental fusion.

But the world of the main realm has long been occupied by the insect swarm, leaving it without any rivals.

In peacetime, insect swarms cannot evolve rapidly.

Only through fierce battles can the swarm's genes evolve rapidly; otherwise, they can only be studied slowly.

Qin Mu was able to initially integrate the earth and space origins in a year, thanks to the super-strong gravity in the core area of ​​the world's master. In this extreme environment, the insect swarm constantly evolved and mutated to adapt to the environment.

Otherwise, even a year would not be enough to complete the integration.

Qin Mu walked forward along the passage that appeared in the secret room.

A heavy door stood before him, its surface carved with intricate patterns and mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and solemn aura.

Qin Mu took a deep breath and pushed open the door with force. As the door slowly opened, a strong smell of dust rushed out, revealing the space behind it.

Without hesitation, Qin Mu walked straight in.

"It's actually a treasure vault?"

Qin Mu was stunned as soon as he entered.

Inside the treasure room, there were exquisite weapons and equipment, each gleaming with a dazzling light and priceless.

The treasure vault is meticulously carved from rough and hard boulders, each stone seemingly telling a story of the vicissitudes of time. The interior walls are uneven, appearing as if naturally formed, yet revealing a clever human design.

The entire space is devoid of superfluous decorations, simple and rustic, yet dignified and mysterious.

In the center and around the treasure room stand approximately one hundred stone shelves.

These shelves were carved from single blocks of rock, their surfaces polished smooth as mirrors, yet their edges retaining their original sharpness. Each shelf holds a treasure, some gleaming brightly, others emitting a faint, ethereal glow.

These treasures come in various shapes and sizes; one is a jade mace, its body as translucent as jade.

Some are long sticks, simple and heavy.

The interior was dimly lit, with only a few stone oil lamps casting a faint glow that illuminated the treasures. The light cast dappled shadows on the stone floor, adding a touch of mystery and depth to the space.

"Fifth-tier Force weapon, Jade Tiger Mace"

"Fifth-tier psychic weapon, Illusionary Mirror"

"Illusion Ice Fruit".

"Jadeite Flower".

"..."

Even though Qin Mu was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked by the sight of those treasures.

"Is this a treasure comparable to an immortal being, a peak world lord?"

Qin Mu looked at the hundreds of stone shelves and exclaimed in amazement.

Leaving aside some fifth-tier weapons, some rare and precious materials are priceless, such as the Illusion Ice Fruit. After consumption, it can enhance mental power and temper willpower, making it a treasure that any mentalist would covet.

Using his pharmacist privileges within the Virtual Universe Company, Qin Mu had seen them for sale inside the company. Each one cost 3000 billion universe coins, and there were a full one hundred of them on that stone platform!

For example, the Jadeite Flower is a very special treasure. It can improve one's aptitude and make one's understanding of the Law of Earth clearer when consumed directly!

A single jade flower is worth 1 Hunyuan!

It can be said that if any of the treasures on these stone shelves were placed in the outside world, they would cause a bloodbath.

"That's incredibly wealthy."

Qin Mu sighed.

Just as Qin Mu was in shock, a deep blue light gathered in the treasure room, representing the convergence of the Earth Realm Lord, Lan.

"Congratulations on passing the test. These are the gifts I prepared for you."

"Lan, the Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, said with a smile."

"These are some treasures I collected on the battlefield outside the domain, with a total value of around 300 Chaos Yuan."

"Besides these treasures, I've also left you an account with a vast universe of stars and galaxies, containing 20 Hunyuan of wealth."

"I sold some truly valuable treasures, as well as treasures inherited from the Cage King, to enhance my power."

"Three hundred years ago, I inadvertently obtained information about a secret realm that might have given birth to special life forms!"

"I have been a realm lord for millions of years, yet I have been unable to break through. Perhaps, this is my destiny!"

"After obtaining that information, I kept collecting various intelligence and information, and finally I determined that there might be special life there, and that it was a cub of special life!"

I obtained a secret technique for possession from the Prison King's legacy. If I can successfully possess someone, then perhaps I can break through to immortality!

"I sold all my treasures and decided to take a gamble."

"But since you saw the message I left, it means I failed."

The Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, Lan, sighed, his voice filled with endless regret.

"Later, I have recorded the secret technique for possession and the information about that secret realm in my personal computer. Once you have it, you can make your own decision."

"According to the intelligence I've gathered, there's a high possibility that immortals exist within that secret realm, but I've still decided to take the gamble. How can one become immortal without great opportunity and immense perseverance?"

"well--"

At this point, the Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, Lan, seemed somewhat disheartened.

After a long while, the phantom of the Earth Lord "Lan" spoke again.

"I don't know what time it is now, or whether my family descendants still exist. If possible, please take care of them for me after you become powerful."

With that, the Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, Lan, waved his hand and said nothing more. His projection turned into starlight and disappeared.

However, after the Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, Lan, finished speaking, Qin Mu was stunned by the information he had revealed.

Unexpectedly, the great opportunity mentioned by the Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, Lan, is actually related to a special life!

Compared to special life forms, a mere two or three hundred Hunyuan's worth of wealth is nothing.

What is a special life form?

Those are life forms born in the universe under certain special conditions that cannot reproduce, and are born with an infinite lifespan.

Special life forms usually live in special secret realms, growing slowly from weak to strong.

These special life forms are even more powerful than peak bloodlines like the Golden Horned Beast, generally possessing about a hundred times the genetic strength of humans, with the weakest of these special life forms having at least ten times the genetic strength of humans.

Of course, a very small number of life forms can have a genetic level that exceeds 500 times.

It is extremely rare for the difference to exceed 1000 times or even thousands of times.

The more extraordinary something is, the rarer it is; conversely, special life forms with lower genetic makeup are more numerous.

Even the most powerful among them are able to fight against and even suppress the Universe Venerables at the Immortal level.

Of course, such extraordinary and powerful life forms are extremely rare.

"I never expected it to be a special life form."

Qin Mu's eyes flickered. This information was too astonishing. After digesting it, Qin Mu couldn't help but think about how to deal with it.

This is undoubtedly a heaven-defying opportunity, one that even immortal powerhouses would covet.

Let alone special life forms, even a peak bloodline like the Golden Horned Beast could tempt an immortal.

A live Golden Horned Beast cub would cost many times more than a D-class mechanical race spaceship!

Perhaps only an E-class mechanical ship can compare to a Golden Horned Beast cub.

A top-tier E-class mechanical spaceship, 1200 meters tall, actually has one or two thousand Chaos Units!

But what if it's a cub of a special life form?

What is its value?

Tens of thousands of Hunyuan? Or even more!

Walking up to a stone shelf, Qin Mu put a quantum computer into his pocket.

Consciousness entered it, and the optical brain stored a coordinate. The coordinate was not located within the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, but at the border between the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and another universe kingdom, which was extremely far away.

Besides the coordinates, there is also a secret technique for possession, and an account and password for a universe of stars and galaxies.

"These coordinates indicate the location of the secret realm where the special life form resides."

"What should we do?"

Qin Mu felt conflicted.

This secret realm is undoubtedly extremely dangerous. Even the Lord of the Thick Earth Realm has perished there, so it is clearly not something I can covet in my current state.

So, should we keep it or try to exchange it for benefits?
