Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 189 Virtual Universe Company Headquarters

Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the capital of pharmacists.

This incredibly beautiful planet has returned to its former tranquility, and the blocked ports have all reopened.

With the High Venerable Lord of Qianwu Kingdom protecting them, no fool would dare to attack them.

Even if someone dares to make a move, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom will instantly discover and subdue them.

Inside the manor, Qin Mu's consciousness left the virtual universe.

He was aware of what was happening in the outside world, but he was too preoccupied with the Trial Tower assessment to pay attention to it.

Besides, if even Teacher Yu Chen can't handle this with his strength, then there's no point in him coming out of the virtual universe.

"teacher!"

Pushing open the door, Qin Mu immediately saw Teacher Yu Chen, dressed in a white robe, chatting with a tall giant in the living room.

"Hahaha, congratulations! You've passed all the Trial Towers and secured the number one ranking in the Genius Battle Universe!"

Yu Chen laughed heartily.

"It's all thanks to the teachers' guidance!"

Qin Mu expressed his gratitude.

He was extremely grateful to Teacher Yu Chen. Without Teacher Yu Chen's help, he would never have been able to progress so smoothly.

Even with the help of the insect swarm, it wouldn't be enough without the abundant resources and high status gained after becoming a disciple of Master Yu Chen.

Relying solely on resources within a thousand light-years of Earth's vicinity and profits from trade with China, it's uncertain how long it would take for the insect swarm to grow strong enough.

Without the status of being a disciple of Master Yu Chen, how easy would it be for China to develop?

Even that space pirate crisis wasn't so easy to handle!

Not to mention the various forms of help that followed.

He imparted the system's bloodline research methods, numerous secret techniques, and the journey through the Chaotic Starfield, along with subsequent training, guidance from immortals who had been granted titles, and so on.

Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for Teacher Yu Chen, I would probably only be able to slowly accumulate seniority in the pharmacist department, or go on adventures with Luo Feng and Hong.

Having the strength to break through the Trial Tower is probably impossible!

"Hahaha!"

Yu Chen laughed heartily; he was extremely satisfied with this disciple.

It was because of his disciple that even the powerful ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom spoke to him in a gentle and soft-spoken manner, as if they were equals.

In the past, given his status and strength, it would have been difficult for him to even meet the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom!

Not to mention treating each other as equals.

So he didn't respond to Qin Mu's words, but instead pointed to the tall giant beside him and said...

"Qin Mu, this is the King of Qianwu Kingdom. He has come to pay his respects to Your Majesty! If it weren't for the King of Qianwu Kingdom's help, we would have been in considerable danger this time."

"Greetings, King of Qianwu. Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

They bowed respectfully to Qin Mu, the giant who exuded a terrifying aura.

"Haha, no problem!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at Qin Mu with great satisfaction.

He rushed over here in a great hurry because he was afraid that something might happen to Qin Mu, but fortunately everything went smoothly.

"The Venerable Guiyi should have told you that he will arrive in a few days. At that time, he will take you to the primordial universe."

He sounded somewhat dissatisfied at this point.

"No need for all that trouble. I'll take you there via the Divine Kingdom teleportation, and then we can just teleport a few more times."

Hearing the Qianwu Kingdom Lord's complaints, Qin Mu didn't dare to respond.

Is this something he could say? He's just a weakling at the Eternal Star level right now, how could he dare to talk about matters between Venerables?

Even though he was a disciple personally taught by the Lord of Chaos City, he was still not qualified.

After chatting with Teacher Yu Chen and the King of Qianwu Kingdom for a while, the King of Qianwu Kingdom left first.

Qin Mu had a very good impression of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

After he demonstrated his talent, they immediately contacted him and provided financial assistance.

This shows that he genuinely cares about domestic talents and is offering them assistance.

Don't worry about his motives, whether it's to pay off debts or to genuinely help.

We should judge people by their actions, not their intentions. If you receive help, you should remember their kindness.

If it weren't for the several top-tier bloodline star beasts and many powerful bloodline star beasts given to him by the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, Qin Mu's strength would not have reached its current level.

This kindness should not only be remembered, but also repaid.

However, my strength is still weak now, and I need to wait until I am stronger before considering these things.

Teacher Yu Chen didn't stay long either. After chatting with Qin Mu for a while about things to be careful about in the Initial Universe and Chaos City, he left.

He knew how painful it must have been for Qin Mu to have his bloodline patterns engraved on his body when he passed the seventh level of the Trial Tower after participating in the Genius Battle.

As a pharmacist, it's not uncommon for him to test drugs on himself; he's done it before.

However, even someone as powerful as him couldn't imagine how painful it would be to forcibly modify his own bloodline without any aids.

Just as Yu Chen had thought, he had expended a great deal of energy in this Genius Battle Trial Tower.

Fortunately, the subsequent battles were all easy and crushing, which meant they had a few days of rest.

Even so, after saying goodbye to his teacher, he immediately went back and fell asleep.

After sleeping for three whole days, Qin Mu finally woke up from his deep sleep.

"Comfortable!"

Stretching, Qin Mu said cheerfully.

The feedback force of the insect swarm in the sea of ​​consciousness was no longer suppressed, and streams of immense energy flowed back from countless soul connections.

The nine miniature stars in the sea of ​​consciousness expanded tenfold in a moment, and the nine fireballs, trembling, exploded violently after expanding to their limit.

The explosion produced numerous nebulae, star clusters, dust, and countless tiny stars, forming a spiral galaxy with eight spiral arms.

The core of a galaxy contains millions of tiny stars, and the galactic core is the first "black hole" of a spiral galaxy.

This tiny black hole slowly devours surrounding objects, while generating wisps of pure power in places it cannot reach, and psychic energy, like a thin mist, spontaneously arises around the galaxy.

Feeling the rapid transformation in both his body and soul, Qin Mu smiled.

If it weren't for participating in the Genius Battle, his strength would have already reached the ninth level of the cosmic level. Now that he has released the suppression of the feedback from the swarm, his strength has soared at a terrifying speed.

In ten days to half a month at most, his strength will be able to improve to the ninth level of the universe level.

Even so, fearing that the progress might be too rapid and his body might not be able to adapt, Qin Mu slowed down his pace slightly.

The current Zerg swarm contains a full one hundred cosmic-level ninth-tier mother hives. The power reflected by the four peak bloodlines, powerful bloodlines, and many other Zerg units is enough to propel Qin Mu to the Domain Lord level.

During his cultivation, Qin Mu felt a slight tremor in the smart brain on his arm, indicating that it had received important information.

"Have the resources I ordered arrived?"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up.

Before leaving the virtual universe, he spent a large amount of money through the virtual universe company to purchase biological flesh and blood, as well as cosmic crystals.

Once these resources are in place, the size of the insect swarm can double!

The more mother hives a swarm has, the stronger its computational capabilities! And the shorter the time it takes for the swarm to break through to the domain lord level.

The more star beasts with peak bloodlines and the more Demon Slayers there are, the faster they can comprehend the fundamental laws!

Once you enter Chaos City, the speed at which you comprehend the Chaos Stele will be faster.

After finishing his cultivation, Qin Mu took a box from the butler; it had been delivered from within the Virtual Universe Company.

Only the person in question can activate this feature.

Back in the cultivation room, Qin Mu opened the box only after passing the triple authentication.

Inside is a world ring; after recognizing it as its owner through spiritual power, one's consciousness probes into it.

This world is tens of thousands of kilometers wide and is filled with the flesh and corpses of various powerful creatures. Some areas are even piled with cosmic crystals!

"The Zerg can begin to expand their forces!"

A smile appeared on Qin Mu's lips. If he hadn't become a member of the Primal Secret Realm, it would have been really difficult to purchase so much high-quality biological flesh and blood at once.

On the contrary, the World Ring is nothing to him now that he has so much wealth.

After finishing the last matter, Qin Mu stopped cultivating and went to where his teacher, Yu Chen, was.

This departure will take at least a hundred years to return, and cultivation won't be much of a loss in that time.

After learning that Qin Mu had arrived, Senior Brother Ronnie did not stay in the laboratory, but chatted with Qin Mu instead.

"Qin Mu, I originally thought that with you as my junior brother, my life would be a little easier."

Good heavens, ever since the teacher took you as his apprentice, my life has become even more difficult!

In a large hall, Brother Ronnie shook his head and sighed.

"Haha, it can't be that bad!"

Qin Mu laughed heartily.

"How could it not be like that! You don't know, Master used to always compare me to Senior Brother Jiuyuan, but at least Senior Brother is a Realm Lord level expert."

It's normal to be outmatched, but wow, you've become a level three pharmacist in just a few years, and you can even concoct cosmic-level bloodline potions.

"And your strength is just too abnormal. You, a pharmacist, actually broke through the Trial Tower and became the number one ranked contestant in the Cosmic Genius Battle."

Ronnie sighed, "I can't live like this anymore!"

Hearing Ronnie's complaints, Qin Mu could only smile wryly and express his sympathy for his plight.

Now, the master's admonition to his senior brother has turned into a call to emulate him, which is indeed somewhat unpleasant.

However, upon hearing Ronnie mention his senior brother, Qin Mu's heart stirred.

Since becoming his disciple, he has never met this senior brother, not even in the virtual universe.

Even the corpse of the Void Serpent was handed over by Senior Brother Ronnie.

He didn't even appear in this genius competition.

This made him somewhat curious.

"Senior Brother Ronnie, what kind of person is our eldest senior brother? I've never met him in all these years."

Qin Mu asked.

"Don't even mention you, I haven't seen many! When I first became a disciple, my senior brother was already a realm lord, and a few years later he went out to train."

He hasn't contacted me at all these years. According to Master, my eldest brother is currently in a very dangerous secret realm and cannot afford to be distracted.

Ronnie shook his head and explained.

"I see."

Qin Mu nodded; he hadn't thanked his senior brother for the gift.

If it weren't for that giant void serpent, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend the fundamental laws of space so quickly.

There was no way he could have obtained the inheritance of the Lord of the Thick Earth Realm. This was a great favor, and Qin Mu always kept it in mind.

While chatting with his senior brother Ronnie, Qin Mu suddenly sensed a powerful will resounding in his mind.

"Qin Mu, I am Venerable Guiyi. I am about to arrive at the Capital of Alchemists. Prepare to depart."

"yes!"

Qin Mu was startled, realizing that it was Venerable Guiyi transmitting his voice to him.

He quickly got up, packed what he needed, and notified Teacher Yu Chen.

After giving the notification, Qin Mu felt the world around him spinning. When he came to his senses, he found himself on the starport of the Alchemist Capital.

Even Senior Brother Ronnie and Teacher Yu Chen have appeared here.

Spatial teleportation!

This is not spatial teleportation in a virtual universe!

A bald man dressed in a fiery red battle robe suddenly appeared in front of the group, exuding an incredibly powerful aura.

"Qianwu, thank you for your help these past few days."

The bald man in the fiery red battle robe addressed the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom who had appeared beside him.

For a Venerable-level expert, a single thought is enough to appear in any corner of the planet.

"Of course!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and nodded.

"Qin Mu, is there anything else you haven't taken care of? If not, let's set off."

The bald man in the fiery red battle robe was clearly Venerable Guiyi. Qin Mu immediately shook his head; the things that needed to be done these past few days had already been taken care of.

The future development of the Huaxia Universe Kingdom, as well as the farewell to Uncle Qing and the others, were all prepared in the virtual universe.

"Alright, we're leaving then."

Venerable Guiyi nodded to Teacher Yuchen without saying anything more.

"Yes, Senior Brother Guiyi!"

Qin Mu quickly replied.

After turning around to say goodbye to Teacher Yu Chen and Senior Brother Ronnie, Qin Mu bowed deeply and walked to Venerable Guiyi's side.

The two figures disappeared in a twist.

……

In the starry sky, in the control room of a 600-meter-long, pitch-black spaceship, Qin Mu and Venerable Guiyi quietly appeared.

After observing the spaceship, Qin Mu was deeply impressed.

A being of the level of a Cosmic Venerable is far too powerful; they can manipulate space and time with ease.

"Qin Mu, under normal circumstances, you should be traveling to the initial universe with other geniuses via the Virtual Universe Company's spaceship."

However, considering your safety, I've decided to go myself.

You might not know this, but because of you, we've even captured three Immortal aliens at the Marquis level! They're all gathering information, preparing to assassinate you.

The Venerable Guiyi said to Qin Mu.

"Three immortal marquises wanted to assassinate me?"

Qin Mu clicked his tongue in amazement. He knew he might be targeted, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, or that the person was so strong.

"This is just what has been exposed and discovered! There are many more hidden in the shadows, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to bring you back to the initial universe."

Once you reach the initial universe, you will be absolutely safe.

Venerable Guiyi explained that although he was not worried about assassination with his strength, it was always better to be cautious.

"In a moment, we will use the divine kingdom to teleport directly to the vicinity of the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters. Don't panic."

"Teleportation to a divine realm?"

Qin Mu was startled. The Qianwu Kingdom's ruler had said the same thing, but he had never experienced it.

At first, he thought he was riding on the spaceship of the Venerable Guiyi.

Given Venerable Guiyi's power, his spaceship's performance is certainly not comparable to that of an ordinary F-class spaceship, and it shouldn't take long to reach the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

"You probably haven't experienced teleportation to a divine realm yet, have you?"

Venerable Guiyi smiled and explained.

"This is a faster way to get to the headquarters of the virtual universe company compared to a spaceship."

Even with my spaceship's capabilities, it would take me about a year to reach the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

But if teleported through the divine realm, it would only take an instant.

With the explanation from Venerable Guiyi, Qin Mu understood what divine kingdom teleportation meant.

The divine kingdoms of immortal powerhouses are all located in the cracks of space within the universe, and the passage connecting the divine kingdom to the outside world is the teleportation channel.

This teleportation channel allows two places that are originally hundreds of millions of light-years apart to instantly travel together.

Within the divine realm, as long as there are coordinates left by him in the universe, spatial teleportation can be instantly established for a one-time teleportation.

However, each teleportation requires opening a spatial channel, and the cost varies depending on the distance.

If an ultra-long-distance space channel is opened, the energy consumption will be even greater.

Therefore, even immortal gods are accustomed to using spaceships.

Unless it's an extremely urgent matter, such as escaping for one's life, one would choose to instantly teleport back to the divine realm, or instantly travel to a certain location through the divine realm!

For example, if you want to take Qin Mu to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, Venerable Guiyi would need to take Qin Mu to his divine kingdom first, and then teleport him from his divine kingdom to the vicinity of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

These two teleportations together require seven or eight Hunyuan's worth of resources.

"Because I've never been to the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield before, otherwise I could have arrived on foot! So without coordinates, I could only go to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom first, and then fly over here in my spaceship."

However, going back won't be so troublesome; I can just teleport back to my divine kingdom.

After listening to Venerable Guiyi's explanation, Qin Mu sighed inwardly.

As expected of a Venerable-level expert, he doesn't care about this little bit of consumption.

Without the money from the China Universe Kingdom, Qin Mu's entire fortune amounted to only a little over ten thousand Hunyuan. He was really reluctant to spend a few Hunyuan to teleport.

That's enough to spawn countless Zerg units.

"Let's go!"

Venerable Guiyi gave a reminder, and his entire being faintly emanated a strong aura of law.

His eyes were fixed on the endless void when suddenly an incredibly dazzling light shone from his body, instantly spreading out and covering the cosmic space within a radius of several kilometers.

hold head high!

The entire spaceship was enveloped in this blinding light.

"This is!" Qin Mu, shrouded in blinding light, looked outside in surprise. Through the spaceship, he could vaguely see an extremely tall palace in the distant depths of that blinding light.

"Is this the Kingdom of God?"

call out!

Their pitch-black spaceship was instantly drawn into the divine realm along this beam of light spatial channel.

……

Divine Kingdom Teleportation is somewhat similar to ultra-long-distance teleportation!

However, this kind of teleportation is not achieved after comprehending the laws of the universe or understanding the laws of space.

Rather, it is a special ability inherent in the 'Divine Kingdom' itself, an ability that the Divine Kingdom has naturally possessed since its birth.

The pitch-black spaceship was enveloped in a blinding light and vanished instantly into the starry sky.

The divine realm of the Venerable One of Unity.

Through the virtual exterior view, Qin Mu looked at the vast divine world outside.

It was an incredibly vast mountain range, towering into the clouds. Within the range, countless giant trees, each over a thousand meters tall, grew, and countless powerful monsters roamed among them.

In the dim light, Qin Mu could also see an extremely tall palace on the mountain range, which was constantly radiating light, illuminating the entire divine kingdom.

"This is my divine kingdom."

Venerable Guiyi smiled slightly beside Qin Mu.

"It's so amazing."

Qin Mu looked at the scenery before him and sighed.

"Qin Mu, the Divine Kingdom is the most important place for an immortal god."

The Venerable Guiyi offered a reminder.

"When you become immortal, you must never bring any threatening enemies into the divine kingdom unless absolutely necessary."

Once the enemy is brought into the divine realm, then it will be a true battle to the death.

Once the divine kingdom collapses... even if the immortal gods manage to survive, they will never be able to advance further.

Qin Mu nodded slightly.

"Furthermore, teleportation within the divine realm requires choosing a very secluded location, and there must be no other immortal gods within a certain range around it."

"Because once the teleportation takes place, the spatial location of your divine kingdom will be exposed. If other immortal gods discover where your divine kingdom is, it will be a nightmare."

Qin Mu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Although I am still far from immortality, it is never wrong to know this information in advance.

Senior Brother Guiyi was also taking the opportunity to educate himself.

As for why Senior Brother Gui brought him into the Divine Kingdom, besides the fact that they were both disciples of the Chaos City Lord, the more important reason was that he was too weak and posed no threat to him at all.

During the conversation, the aura of laws emanated from Venerable Guiyi's entire body, and at the same time, the temple in the divine kingdom suddenly shone with unparalleled brilliance, condensing into a pillar of light.

boom!

A beam of light shot towards the sky!

The pitch-black spaceship quickly flew towards the pillar of light, directly entering the dazzling pillar, and then disappeared into the pillar of light.

Whoosh!

The ultra-long-distance teleportation was completed, and the dazzling beam of light dissipated.

Qin Mu felt the entire spaceship tremble slightly, and a dreamlike starry sky appeared around him. In the distance of the starry sky, there was a vast supercontinent floating in the starry sky.

We've arrived at the Virtual Universe Company's global headquarters.
