Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 196 "The True Solution to the Universe"

In the training grounds of Manor No. 114 in the virtual universe, in the Primal Zone.

Qin Mu sat on the sofa in the manor and opened the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company.

The treasure vault opened, and immediately eight categories appeared on the screen: 'Mystic Arts', 'Weapons', 'Rare Treasures', 'Technological Weapons', 'Materials', 'Tools', 'Living Things', and 'Other Special Categories'.

Qin Mu directly clicked on the Secret Techniques category.

Suddenly, countless words and images appeared.

"100000 points for 'Fantasy Sword and Empty Blade' (Primitive Realm 30% off, Primordial Realm 20% off, Heaven and Earth Realm 10% off, Apocalypse Realm full price)"

"Purple Lightning Pierces the Sky" 100000 points (Primal Secret Realm 30% off, Primordial Secret Realm 20% off, Heaven and Earth Secret Realm 10% off, Apocalypse Secret Realm full price)

"The Mysterious Realm: 200000 Points (Primitive Realm 30% off, Primordial Realm 20% off, Heaven and Earth Realm 10% off, Doomsday Realm full price)"

……

One after another, secret techniques with immense fame throughout the universe appeared on the list as if they were commonplace items; at a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them, and this was only the first page.

Qin Mu didn't look at these secret techniques, but instead entered "The True Explanation of the Universe" into the search box above the list.

Immediately, detailed information about "The True Explanation of the Universe" popped up.

"The True Explanation of the Universe: 1000 Billion Points"

"So expensive!"

Upon seeing the price, Qin Mu's lips twitched. This price wouldn't be enough even if he crossed the entire Cosmic Bridge.

However, he knew that this manual, just like the manuals he bought on Earth, could be purchased separately.

Qin Mu clicked on it and took a closer look.

The True Understanding of the Universe, Book 1, 1000 points

The first two volumes of "The True Understanding of the Universe" require 1 points.

The first three volumes of "The True Understanding of the Universe" have 10 points.

……

The first seven volumes of "The True Understanding of the Universe" have 10 billion points.

The first eight volumes of "The True Understanding of the Universe" have 100 billion points.

The complete "True Understanding of the Universe" costs 1 billion points.

And this "True Understanding of the Universe" isn't even discounted!

Members of other secret methods' original zones can purchase items at a 30% discount, but there is no discount whatsoever when purchasing "The True Understanding of the Universe".

Qin Mu checked his points; he had a total of 131000 points.

Of these 131000 points, 100000 were a gift from the Genius War Virtual Universe Company.

The remaining 31000 points were earned by crossing the Sky Bridge.

Passing through the first level of the Sky Bridge earns 100 points, the second level earns 200 points, the third level earns 400 points, and so on.

Qin Mu passed the fifth level, and with the tenfold points reward for entering Chaos City for the first time, he had a total of 31000 points.

"Buy the first three books!"

Qin Mu clicked once, and his points instantly decreased by 100,000.

Although it was expensive, Qin Mu knew it was a necessary expense.

When the teacher created the Chaos Monument, he transformed his insights into nine illustrations.

These nine pictures can naturally lead to enlightenment. While creating these nine pictures, the teacher also recorded his own insights and feelings based on them, including basic techniques and secret methods.

It is the best secret method to complement the cultivation of the "Cosmic Chaos Stele". By studying the explanations and secret methods contained within, one can gain a better understanding and comprehension of this method.

After buying "The True Understanding of the Universe," Qin Mu looked at the other secret techniques and wondered if he should buy some more.

While comprehending the Chaos Monument of the Universe, Qin Mu discovered many of his shortcomings and weaknesses.

One very important point is about melee combat.

Because he followed the path of the controller, he never practiced martial arts techniques again after leaving Earth.

Thinking about it carefully, the only martial arts technique he ever practiced was actually the "World Destruction" created by Shi Hong on Earth!

The Zerg units hatched from the Zerg, such as the Demon Slayer and the Rock Giant, are soulless. Since they have no soul, they naturally have no telekinesis!

Therefore, when they comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe, the combat methods they comprehend are naturally all close combat techniques of martial artists.

Among the many secret techniques collected by the Zerg Swarm, there are quite a few that involve melee combat.

Both the Zerg Legacy and the Meteorite Legacy contain melee techniques.

However, most of the secret techniques in the Zerg heritage are suitable for Zerg warriors, and the secret techniques in the Meteorite Star heritage are also biased towards controllers.

As for those energy-based life forms like the Demon Slayer Clan, there wasn't a single one suitable.

After browsing through them, Qin Mu discovered that there were far too many types of secret techniques, and it would probably take quite a while to choose a suitable one.

The Demon Slayers and Rock Giants are not the only ones lacking corresponding secret techniques.

Among the pinnacle bloodline of the Zerg swarm, only one Golden Horned Beast possesses this lineage.

During his time on Earth, he selected two secret techniques for the Golden Horned Beast: "Original Heaven and Earth" and "Absolute Space".

The Golden Horned Beast's legacy contains 18 special secret techniques and 3199 ordinary secret techniques.

Among them, special secret techniques can only be practiced by the Golden Horned Beast, such as "The True Heaven and Earth".

The common secret methods are universal.

It is precisely because of these common secret techniques that the Flame Star Beast, Hill Beast, and Destroyer Beast in the swarm are not without secret techniques to cultivate.

But these secret techniques are ultimately the legacy of the Golden Horned Beast!

"Luckily, the iceberg behemoth the teacher gave us is alive. Once the swarm reaches the Domain Lord level, we'll transform it into a Zerg, gaining both the combat power of a peak Domain Lord and a share of its legacy!"

"And the Zerg Queen, we need to make some plans about that too!"

Qin Mu pondered this in his heart.

"Forget it, let's not rush into the secret techniques. We can choose them slowly later when we have time. Right now, it's more important to study the 'True Understanding of the Universe'."

Unlike purchasing weapons or treasures, which require physical delivery, purchasing secret techniques is done directly in the virtual universe!

Secret methods are, after all, a form of knowledge dissemination, and the virtual universe is, after all, a 100% simulation, making it the most effective, fastest, and safest channel for knowledge transfer.

In the real world of the universe, identity verification is also required for delivery.

The virtual universe is entirely under the supervision of the 'Virtual Universe System,' and this secret technique is sold by the Virtual Universe System!

Delivery is, of course, perfectly safe.

Soon, Qin Mu received the three sets of books he had purchased, which were stored in a silver briefcase.

Inside the study.

Qin Mu opened the briefcase, inside which were three thick metal books.

This metal book even has pages that are made of gold-colored metal!

In the universe, some truly powerful secret techniques are stored in special metals because these techniques can be preserved for billions of epochs, something ordinary books simply cannot retain for that long.

The first volume is approximately 50 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 40 cm thick.

The second volume is approximately 50 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 30 cm thick.

The third volume is approximately 50 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 50 cm thick.

The suitcase was completely filled with three books.

Qin Mu took out the first book, looked down at the cover, which had four simple universal characters on it: "The True Explanation of the Universe".

Simple words, yet they seem to encompass the universe and the starry sky.

With just one glance, Qin Mu seemed to see scenes such as shooting stars streaking across the sky, the evolution of the sun and moon, and the beginning of the universe.

Qin Mu woke up with a start a moment later.

"It's incredible that books in the virtual universe, which aren't even the original versions, can still affect my consciousness."

Qin Mu's eyes were filled with amazement.

"No wonder it's a book written by the teacher himself!"

Open the book cover and turn to the table of contents.

An Introduction to the Cosmic Chaos Monument

"The essence of the fundamental laws of space."

"The essence of the fundamental law of time."

After flipping through it, Qin Mu discovered that the first volume of "The True Explanation of the Universe" was the general outline of the entire secret manual.

Both the fundamental laws of space and the fundamental laws of time are profound and complex.

It is almost impossible to fully understand this. Just look at the enormous number of humans on countless planets, generation after generation being born, growing up, dying... generation after generation in a cycle, for a thousand years, ten thousand years, ten million years... for hundreds of millions of years.

In an infinitely vast star field, a cosmic ruler was finally born!

To become the ruler of the universe, one must be a Time Venerable or a Space Venerable! This shows how difficult it is to thoroughly study and comprehend the fundamental laws of space and time!

The Cosmic Chaos Stele is a supreme cultivation path that can enable people to reach the level of a Cosmic Venerable or even the Lord of the Universe!

The Cosmic Chaos Monument, consisting of nine images!

According to the description in the first volume of "The True Understanding of the Universe", as long as you understand the seven diagrams, you can become a Venerable One and the Lord of the Universe!

The first three images, meteor charts, continuously delve deeper into the fundamental laws of space and time.

Although the fundamental laws of the universe are incredibly profound, the most basic and essential things are still quite simple.

The first to the third images dissect the fundamental laws of the universe.

The fundamental laws of time and space each contain 108 different mysteries.

The fundamental laws of the universe are these 108 most basic mysteries, which are constantly combined in various complex ways to eventually form a vast set of laws!

The first to the third illustrations represent an anatomy!

The fourth to sixth images represent a combination of systems!

These fundamental elements are constantly combined, expanded, gradually perfected, and continuously extended... until finally forming the perfect cosmic fundamental laws of space and time.

The seventh image represents the most complete fundamental laws governing the universe.

If you can comprehend the first seven images, you can become a Venerable One and the ruler of the universe!

Only by grasping the essence can one truly understand!

Everyone understands this principle, but truly comprehending it is extremely difficult!

Qin Mu immediately immersed himself in the subject and began to study it carefully.

The first volume corresponds to the first meteor chart, which contains nine temporal essences and nine spatial essences.

Qin Mu originally thought he had fully understood it, but through the first volume of "The True Explanation of the Universe" and his insights from the teacher's demonstrations, he discovered that his understanding had many flaws.

In particular, the teacher also created nine secret techniques based on these nine fundamental laws of space and nine fundamental laws of time!

Yes, it's nine sets, not nine types!

Each set of secret techniques contains dozens of other secret methods.

These secret methods proceed step by step, leading people to a deeper understanding and analysis of the fundamental laws.

Not only these eighteen sets of secret techniques analyze the essence of secret techniques, but there is also a set that combines and applies the fundamental laws of time and space, and is a summary of other secret techniques!

Only by mastering and integrating all nineteen sets of secret techniques can one be considered to have truly understood the first meteor chart.

"Incredible! Incredible! I never knew it could be understood this way!"

Qin Mu flipped through the thick book, completely absorbed in it.

He already had some understanding of the first picture, and with a teacher imparting knowledge to him, Qin Mu learned it very quickly.

With the help of the insect swarm, all 19 secret techniques were learned in just three days.

However, Qin Mu soon encountered difficulties while studying the second volume of "The True Explanation of the Universe".

The second volume corresponds to the second image on the Cosmic Chaos Monument.

It analyzes 36 kinds of spatial essence and 36 kinds of temporal essence respectively.

Teacher Chaos City Lord also compiled 36 sets of secret techniques, as well as one set of secret techniques that can be used in combination, which means a total of 73 sets of secret techniques!

The second volume of "The True Explanation of the Universe" is hundreds or even thousands of times more profound than the first volume.

My understanding of the second image on the Cosmic Chaos Monument is not very deep, especially regarding the fundamental laws of time; it's only scratching the surface.

Fortunately, Qin Mu had the personal guidance of the Chaos City Lord, the cooperation of the insect swarm, and the help of the Destroyer Beast, a peak-bloodline star behemoth with the talent of time-stopping, so his progress was still extremely fast.

As they learned one secret technique after another, their speed of understanding the essence of time and space became increasingly astonishing.

Especially after a new batch of peak-bloodline star behemoths hatched from the swarm, this progress accelerated like a rocket.

Others can only learn one secret method at a time and study one essence at a time.

But Qin Mu is different. The 36 spatial essences and 36 temporal essences contained in the second picture are carried out simultaneously with the cooperation of the insect swarm!

For example, in the study of the nature of space, after increasing the supply of resources, the number of Demon Slayers in the swarm has approached 10,000!

Qin Mu divided these 10,000 Demon Slayers into 36 groups, with each group consisting of several dozen Demon Slayers who were sent to comprehend a spatial essence.

Then summarize the essence of their insights.

When all the insights were gathered by the swarm's soul network and brought to Qin Mu, the progress was terrifying.

The same applies to the insights gained by other peak-bloodline behemoths.

For example, the 25 Devastating Beasts also cooperated and had a division of labor!

Each of the Destruction Beasts is responsible for comprehending a certain essence of time.

During this process, there is also a mother nest assisting in calculations and aiding in understanding.

During the process of reflection, immediately verify any ideas that come to mind!

These Zerg units are not afraid of damage or death during the research process.

When others study secret techniques, they are very careful, and even in the virtual universe, their bodies are prone to various problems.

No matter how perfect the virtual universe simulation is, how can it compare to practical operation in the real world?

In the chaotic star field, within the chamber of a Zerg hive fortress with a diameter exceeding 15,000 kilometers, powerful Zerg units were hatched and then annihilated.

If anyone were present, they would have noticed that the bodies of these insectoids simultaneously displayed the talent runes of the Destroyer Beast and the Demon Slayer Clan!

This is a new Zerg unit created by Qin Mu by combining his understanding of the essence of the laws of space and time with his research on bloodlines.

This process is his best application of the essence of the laws of space and time.

Not only did Qin Mu combine the innate runes of the Destroyer Beast and the Demon Slayer Clan, but he also continued his research on other powerful Zerg units simultaneously.

However, the focus was placed on the study of the origins of time and space.

Furthermore, if there is anything he cannot understand during this process, he can even consult the Chaos City Lord!

……

On the rooftop of Qin Mu's residence in Chaos City.

Qin Mu would occasionally look up to observe the operation of the fundamental laws of the universe, and then occasionally look down to examine the inscriptions and insights left by his seniors and fellow disciples on the rooftop.

Although these insights and records are not as detailed as "The True Explanation of the Universe," viewing them occasionally can still have a ripple effect.

Time flies like water, and the days pass by one by one.

Chapter 1. I'm asking for your guaranteed monthly votes at the beginning of the month! If you have guaranteed monthly votes on your phone, please vote, thank you! Afterwards, I'll quickly get through Chaos City and go to the dungeons.
