Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 192 Comprehending the Universe Monument

"I choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument."

Qin Mu spoke firmly without the slightest hesitation.

"The Cosmic Chaos Monument?"

Venerable Guiyi raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

"You and your teacher are truly destined to be together!"

"These 52 Chaos Steles were all created by powerful figures of the human race. Do you know who created these Cosmic Chaos Steles?"

The Venerable Guiyi asked with a smile.

"teacher?"

Qin Mu said with a hint of curiosity.

"That's right!"

"That's what Venerable Guiyi said."

The 52 Chaos Steles also vary in height.

Of these 52 Chaos Steles, the Giant Axe Chaos Stele ranks first, and the Cosmic Chaos Stele ranks second.

The most direct difference is that the Giant Axe Sky Bridge has 32 floors, making it the tallest. The Cosmic Sky Bridge, on the other hand, has 30 floors, ranking second!

The shortest of the 52 skybridges has only 21 floors.

Reaching the 21st floor will allow you to become the "Universe Ruler," which is the level of a Universe Venerable.

For ordinary geniuses, choosing which Chaos Monument to use is not important, because they will almost never reach the highest level in their lifetime.

Becoming a cosmic sovereign is extremely rare.

But it's different for Qin Mu. His talent is too high, and becoming a Universe Venerable is definitely not his final goal.

If Qin Mu had chosen a lower-level Chaos Stele, it would have been a huge waste of his talent, and Venerable Guiyi would have advised against it.

"The Cosmic Chaos Monument was created by the teacher, whose strength goes without saying."

The Venerable Guiyi smiled.

The Lord of Chaos City is the true ruler of the Virtual Universe Company. In terms of strength, he is definitely among the top humans. He has been guarding Chaos City for countless years, preventing countless alien races from invading.

"In my personal opinion, this is also the most suitable Chaos Stele for you."

You have already entered the realm of the two fundamental laws of space and time, and have achieved a certain level of expertise in them.

With your talent and the personal guidance of your teacher, your future achievements are limitless.

Qin Mu nodded in agreement.

After roughly reviewing all 52 Chaos Steles, he had a general idea of ​​their significance and solidified his choice.

For others, the 52 Chaos Steles might offer many choices, but for Qin Mu, the options were limited.

Chaos Monuments that can only reach the level of Cosmic Venerable can be disregarded.

Furthermore, methods like the Heart Mark Chaos Stele, which start with lower-level laws and are geared towards melee combat, are also unsuitable.

Among the many fundamental laws, there is no doubt that 'time' and 'space' are the two strongest, and Qin Mu would definitely choose the strongest one.

The Nine Universe Chaos Stele, which starts with spatial manipulation, is suitable for Luo Feng, but not for him.

Because this completely wasted his talent of simultaneously comprehending the ten fundamental laws!

Although Qin Mu's understanding of the fundamental laws of space is now stronger.

However, since the emergence of the Destroyer Behemoth, a peak-level bloodline behemoth with a primary talent for time and the ability to stop time, among the insect swarm, his comprehension of the fundamental laws of time has been astonishingly rapid.

With increased investment and the incubation of more destructive behemoths, it won't be long before we catch up in our understanding of the fundamental laws of space.

The most powerful giant axe, the Chaos Stele, is not very suitable for Qin Mu.

The reason is simple: this Chaos Stele is more suitable for martial artists, for close combat, and it also starts with the fundamental laws of space.

Logically speaking, each Chaos Stele should allow one to comprehend both melee combat and ranged attack techniques.

But that's just theory.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the most suitable one is the Cosmic Chaos Monument.

Universe, universe, what is the universe?

The four directions and the top and bottom are "Yu" (宇), and the past and present are "Zhou" (宙). "Yu" represents space, and "Zhou" represents time.

The Cosmic Chaos Monument requires the simultaneous cultivation of the two fundamental laws of space and time, making it extremely difficult. These two fundamental laws are among the most difficult to comprehend; to comprehend even one of them is already incredibly challenging, let alone both.

But once one truly comprehends both, their strength becomes terrifying.

"Haha, let's go. Now that you've made your choice, I'll take you to comprehend the true cosmic chaos monument."

Venerable Guiyi was clearly in a good mood, speaking as he walked.

"For an average genius, the Cosmic Chaos Monument is not a good choice."

Because the Cosmic Chaos Monument requires the simultaneous study of the two fundamental laws of space and time.

The difficulty involved is self-evident.

Therefore, although the Cosmic Chaos Monument is powerful, it has been chosen by the fewest geniuses throughout history.

Of course, you are different.

However, judging from your performance in the Genius Battle, your understanding of the fundamental law of space is deeper than that of the two fundamental laws of space and time, so I need to remind you of something.

At this point, Venerable Guiyi paused, and after confirming that Qin Mu was listening attentively, he solemnly spoke.

There are three methods to comprehend the "Cosmic Chaos Monument".

The first type is based primarily on time and secondarily on space.

The second approach prioritizes space and uses time as a secondary factor.

The third method involves combining time and space in cultivation.

Both the first and second methods have their own focus, so they are easier to cultivate.

However, the third type requires both time and space to develop simultaneously, and the rate of progress is quite similar.

Therefore, if the third method succeeds, it will be the most outrageous and perverse.

The choice between them is up to you.

Qin Mu listened attentively; what Venerable Guiyi said made a lot of sense.

In the original timeline, Berlan also chose the Cosmic Chaos Monument, and initially took the third route.

Bolan comprehended the fundamental laws of wind and space. His talent in the fundamental law of space was astonishing, and he used the fundamental law of wind as a springboard to comprehend the fundamental law of time.

That's not wrong, but it's clear that his talent lies in the fundamental laws of space.

This led to an extremely serious problem: when Chaos City finished its 30 years of cultivation, it had reached the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven in the cultivation of the Space Origin Law, but only the third or fourth level in the Time Origin Law!

So he got stuck on the sixth level of the Sky Bridge!

If he had chosen the Nine Universe Chaos Stele like Luo Feng, with his powerful spatial talent, he would probably have left Luo Feng far behind.

It wasn't until Luo Feng caught up with her that her arrogance was shattered, and she chose a route that prioritized space and used time as a secondary factor.

However, Qin Mu's situation is different. With the Destruction Beast around, it is not difficult to make the fundamental laws of time and space advance in tandem by allocating some resources.

"Senior brother, I understand!"

Qin Mu answered with a smile, and his future path became clearer.

Before this, when incubating many star beasts with peak bloodlines, he distributed them equally, incubating three of each kind.

But now, naturally, more Destructive Beasts need to be hatched.

The Golden Horned Beast represents gold and space.

The towering beasts represent earth and space.

The Flame Star Beast is associated with fire and space, and the Iceberg Beast given to us by the Chaos City Lord is associated with water and space!

These four colossal star beasts of the highest bloodlines all correspond to the fundamental laws of space.

Only the Destroyer Beast is time and lightning! It corresponds to the fundamental law of time.

Especially in their comprehension of the fundamental laws of space, there are also energy life forms like the Demon Slayer Clan, who are favored by the fundamental laws of space.

If resources are not allocated to the Destroyer Beast, the gap in understanding the fundamental laws of time and space will only widen, leading to a situation similar to that of Berlan.

"Right after the Genius Battle ended, I used the 10000 Hunyuan prize money to buy a lot of powerful biological flesh and blood, and cosmic crystals."

Qin Mu's heart stirred. Considering the existence of thousands of Demon Slayers, he directly increased the number of Destroyer Beasts to 25!

The number of the other three peak bloodline behemoths has increased from three to five.

"That should be about right!"

Qin Mu was satisfied; having resources meant he could do whatever he wanted!

In the blink of an eye, the entire swarm began to stir, hatching large numbers of various Zerg units.

Of course, this is the limit; no matter how many more swarms there are, they can't supply it all.

Because the swarm will soon reach the domain lord level, its resource consumption will be even more terrifying.

Resource gathering in the China Universe Kingdom also needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise the bottomless pit of the Zerg swarm will soon devour all his resources.

While chatting with Venerable Guiyi, the two soon arrived at a corridor that was about 60 meters wide and 120 meters high.

On both sides of the corridor, one could see towering bronze gates, each about 160 meters long and 120 meters high, with ancient inscriptions on each gate.

"Mother Ancestor", "Giant Axe", "Dragon Walk"...

And in front of each bronze gate stands a kind-looking old man.

The strange thing is!

The old men in front of each bronze gate all looked exactly the same.

"Venerable Guiyi, is this the new disciple accepted by the Lord of Chaos City?"

The three-eyed old man smiled as he looked at Venerable Guiyi and Qin Mu.

"Yes, that's right. Qin Mu came to pay his respects to Venerable Kandri."

Venerable Kandri has guarded 52 secret chambers for millions of eons; these are all his emanations.

Venerable Guiyi nodded and said to Qin Mu.

"Greetings, Venerable Kandri!"

Qin Mu said respectfully.

As one of the three treasures of chaos, the importance of the 52 Chaos Steles is self-evident. The fact that a person could create 52 clones to guard them speaks volumes about their strength.

"A very good young man. Did he choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument?"

There's no one inside, go in.

Venerable Kandri smiled and nodded.

As they talked, the bronze gate slowly opened, revealing a cultivation chamber filled with chaotic energy that obscured the interior for a moment.

Qin Mu nodded and walked in with a hint of nervousness.

The cultivation chamber was enormous, filled with swirling chaotic energy.

Upon approaching, Qin Mu saw a massive stone tablet surrounded by chaotic energy.

This stone tablet is 100 meters high and nearly 100 meters wide, with nine pictures on it. On the edge of the Chaos Tablet, there is also the universal language of the universe - Universe.

Each picture is exactly the same as the "Cosmic Chaos Monument" that I saw on the corridor murals before, but the feeling is obviously different.

I had seen the nine images on the Chaos Monument before, so I already knew about them.

The first three pictures are quite similar; they are all images of shooting stars.

The first picture shows nine shooting stars streaking across the sky. As they pass, their dazzling light seems to contain sparks and lightning.

The second picture shows a meteor shower streaking across the sky. If you look closely, you'll find 36 meteors in the shower.

The third picture shows a massive meteor shower, with a total of 108 meteors streaking across the sky.

The fourth image is a picture of planets, with other planets orbiting around a central planet.

The fifth image is a star chart, and it is a peculiar binary star system, with stars orbiting and revolving around each other.

The sixth picture is a galaxy, with countless stars forming a vast galaxy.

The seventh picture shows a vast star field with countless galaxies and galaxies flowing within it!

The eighth picture is even more vast, like a complete universe in motion.

The ninth image is a strange point surrounded by chaotic air currents, and it is completely incomprehensible what it is.

The moment Qin Mu saw the inscription on the Cosmic Chaos Stele, he became completely absorbed in it.

However, with his current strength, he could still vaguely understand the first six pictures, feeling that these pictures were subtly explaining the supreme origin of the Great Dao.

But the last seven-picture series—the ninth picture—did not evoke any insight; it was just like a real painting.

Qin Mu knew very well that this was simply because his strength was insufficient, the difference was too great, and he couldn't understand it at all.

The 52 Chaos Steles are the most precious treasures of the entire human race in the universe. Comprehending the power of any one of the Chaos Steles makes becoming the ruler of a cosmic kingdom a piece of cake.

Since it has been recognized by countless powerful figures... then the seventh to ninth pictures must truly contain incredible mysteries. It's just that Qin Mu's strength is too poor, and he doesn't even have a subconscious sense of them.

……

As Qin Mu viewed the images, all the information and images he perceived were shared with all the Zerg units in the swarm through the soul network.

The entire swarm almost completely stopped parsing, devoting all of the mother hive's computing power to understanding the cosmic chaos monument.

Within the world ring he carried, colossal star beasts of peak bloodlines lay quietly on the ground, sensing the peculiar rhythm within the scene.

In the eyes of the golden-horned behemoth, the nine meteors seemed to transform into sharp hooves, tails whistling towards them, or golden horns shooting towards them.

However, in the eyes of the colossal beast, it saw the rocks inside the nine meteors, each exuding a heavy aura.

In the eyes of the Flame Star Beast, the nine meteors appeared as enormous fireballs, exploding with incredible force.

What the behemoth saw was the dazzling light!

One by one, members of the Demon Slayer Clan merged into the void, emanating spatial primal fluctuations...

The three-colored secret patterns on Qin Mu's body shone brightly. In the meteor diagram, he seemed to see the myriad phenomena wheel turning, especially the space wheel and the time wheel, which contained nine different artistic conceptions.

The two major sub-wheels of space and time rotate and combine continuously, forming powerful moves.

All the insights converged in the swarm's soul network, and each mother hive poured almost all its computing power into it, beginning a frantic process of calculation and analysis.

In the past, when Qin Mu studied many powerful star beasts, including the Golden Horned Beast, the Demon Slayer Clan, and the Rock Giant, he had sensed the aura of the primordial laws through the strange patterns naturally formed on their bodies, but he had never seen it so clearly!

Even when viewing the Cosmic Chaos Monument, one feels a sense of being guided without realizing it.

In this state of mind, countless things that were incomprehensible and unclear during past research suddenly became clear.

……

Qin Mu was completely immersed in the cultivation chamber and was unaware of the passage of time.

"Rumble~~~"

The bronze gate swung open with a roar, but Qin Mu remained unconscious, still lost in its profound mystery.

"Come out!"

Until a voice came in and entered Qin Mu's mind.

"Come out!" "Come out!" "Come out!" "Come out!"

The sound kept echoing in his mind, getting louder and louder, which instantly woke Qin Mu up.

"Is it over already?"

Savoring the feeling of comprehending the Chaos Stele, with a slight sigh, Qin Mu took a step and walked towards the bronze gate.
