Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 210 Luo Feng Lei Shen Hong's Enhancement Plan

Virtual universe, public area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain, private room of a restaurant.

"Qin Mu, what good news have you got for us?"

Thor looked at Qin Mu with a grin.

Hong looked at Thor speechlessly; this guy was never serious. But thinking about it carefully, every time Qin Mu said he wanted to talk to them about something, it always seemed to be something good.

"That's definitely a good thing."

Seeing Luo Feng's eyes suddenly light up as he stared at him, Qin Mu smiled.

"That's great news!"

Thor was taken aback; he was just joking, but he hadn't expected that the answer would come true.

"Well, I left Chaos City a year earlier than you and went directly to the cultivation world. I had some fortuitous encounters there, which led to a slight breakthrough in my bloodline research."

Qin Mu smiled and extended the tips of two fingers, then gently touched them together.

"A breakthrough in bloodline research?"

Thor was taken aback, because they were quite knowledgeable about bloodlines because of Qin Mu.

But isn't the strongest human bloodline the Domain Lord Potion?

Qin Mu has already purchased and used it for them from Yu Chen Immortal. Could it be that humans have even stronger bloodlines?

"Aren't our bloodlines already at the Domain Lord level? Can we break through? And by how much?"

Hong's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

Luo Feng was also full of anticipation.

They had all upgraded their bloodlines several times, so they knew all too well the benefits of bloodline enhancement.

"The improvement isn't much, maybe a few times! It depends on the situation. If you're interested, you can find me in the Blood Luo World."

Using Blood Crystals, a specialty of the Blood World, there should be no problem increasing your overall strength by about tenfold.

Especially Luo Feng, he should be the most suitable for you, as the Blood Crystal has the best compatibility with the gold and void attributes.

Qin Mu spread his hands and said with a smile.

"What! Our overall strength has increased tenfold!"

Luo Feng exclaimed in horror, his Babata figures popping out of his body, his eyes shining.

Ever since Luo Feng entered the core of the Virtual Universe Company, Babata has been wholeheartedly following Luo Feng, and his confidence in Qin Mu's initial promise to revive Hu Yanbo has been greatly strengthened.

"You call this a tiny improvement? We'll be right there once we leave Chaos City!"

Thor couldn't wait to hear that. He was joking, "A tenfold increase in power!"

"I can fuse some of the genes of a peak-blooded star beast with you, causing your genes to evolve. I estimate this evolution will be 4-6 times."

Then, by fusing three or more Blood Crystals, one's strength can be doubled.

This enhancement involves the evolution of your body's genes, not just a simple increase in strength. Your understanding of the laws will also improve by about tenfold.

However, both bloodline fusion leading to genetic evolution and fusion with Blood Crystal are extremely painful and require a high level of willpower.

Qin Mu explained with a smile.

Qin Mu had planned to strengthen the three of them beforehand; otherwise, he wouldn't have collected their genes. Luo Feng was alright, as he had the Golden Horned Beast and the Demon Slayer Clan clone.

Hong and Lei Shen were far inferior. Although they had Domain Lord-level potions to enhance their bloodlines, they still lagged behind true top geniuses in their understanding of the laws.

Willpower?!

Hong laughed after hearing this. Perhaps he wasn't very strong, but when it came to willpower, he was confident that few could rival him.

Not only Hong, but also Lei Shen and Luo Feng laughed.

Which of the three of them doesn't have an extremely strong will?

"Well, if you come over, I plan to fuse some of the Golden Horned Beast's genes into Luo Feng to improve your compatibility with gold and space."

Hong and Lei Shen, the two of you have fused with some of the genes of the Destroyer Beast. The Destroyer Beast is a peak bloodline beast that is primarily based on time and secondarily on lightning, and its attributes are most compatible with Lei Shen's.

However, I can make some adjustments and enhance Hong by focusing on light and time.

After years of research, it has been found that strengthening the genes of a single, peak-bloodline star beast can still guarantee safety.

After I explained the improvement method to the three of them in detail, smiles appeared on their faces.

The three of them naturally trusted Qin Mu's words completely, as Qin Mu had helped them a great deal along the way.

"Brother Mu, have you reached this level in your research on bloodlines?"

I've never even heard of this level of bloodline enhancement within the Virtual Universe Company!

Luo Feng exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, it's amazing that the bloodline of a cosmic beast can be transplanted into a human body."

Hong also exclaimed in admiration. Although they were not pharmacists and did not know exactly how he did it, Qin Mu was able to do something that even the Virtual Universe Company could not do. This was truly astonishing.

Qin Mu smiled. Of course, it was impossible to do with human gene manipulation capabilities alone. Even the most powerful pharmacist would probably find it difficult. But he had the help of the Zerg swarm's mother hive.

Zerg swarms are naturally genetically engineered.

The modulation and optimization of various superior genes is instinctive for insect swarms.

In fact, Qin Mu had considered giving Hong and Thor each a golden-horned giant beast so that they could possess them.

But after careful consideration, he did not do so.

Because the Golden Horned Beast hatched from the swarm is fundamentally different from the real Golden Horned Beast!

Although they appear exactly the same as the Golden Horned Beast in both appearance and genetic structure, they are actually Zerg.

Their souls also belong to the Zerg!

To possess a Zerg golden-horned behemoth is essentially to possess a Zerg.

This is impossible.

Even if Qin Mu manages to annihilate their souls, their physical bodies are still insectoid.

If a soul were to be born in that body, it would still be an insectoid.

If they were to actually possess someone's body, it would be hard to say whether Hong and Thor would be human or Zerg after the possession was complete.

Moreover, the genes of the Golden Horned Beasts hatched from these swarms are different from those of ordinary Golden Horned Beasts.

In the event of fierce battles or in harsh environments or other special circumstances, evolutionary mutations are highly likely to occur.

This evolutionary mutation can be benign or malignant.

The uncontrollable risks are too great.

The reason why the Zerg's peak bloodline Star Behemoths have not mutated is simple: they have experienced too few battles.

If there are enough battles to go through, evolution and mutation will definitely occur.

After careful consideration, Qin Mu decided to abandon this plan and instead conduct his own research and then enhance their equipment. Although it would be slower, it would be safer.

Possession is different from external objects like the Cloud Vine. The Cloud Vine is just a battle pet and has no effect on one's cultivation. Even if it evolves or mutates, it's still different.

Moreover, even the Cloud Vine that Qin Mu initially gave to the two of them was no longer used by them after they gained a better understanding of the insect swarm; instead, a new one was cultivated.

"By the way, the Blood Luo World itself is also very dangerous, belonging to the dangerous-level training mission, so you should be careful when you come here."

Once you arrive in the Blood Luo World, it's best to land directly near the Demon Sea, which is now my territory.

You haven't left Chaos City yet, so you don't have the necessary permissions. You'll understand once you're out.

The Blood Luo World Trial has two tasks. One task is to collect a Blood Luo Crystal, which will earn you 10,000 points.

Furthermore, successfully fusing three Blood Crystals to become a Blood Warrior and obtain the 'Blood Crystal Medal' will grant 10 points.

After hearing this, the three of them were even more excited. They didn't have much of a concept of Blood Crystals or cultivation missions, but they were very clear about points.

Incidentally, Qin Mu also told the group about the cultivation missions after leaving the virtual universe.

A cosmic-level genius, capable of accepting a maximum of 10 missions every 100 years.

Cultivation missions are divided into five levels based on their degree of danger: 'Safe Level', 'Normal Level', 'Difficult Level', 'Dangerous Level', and 'Extreme Level'.

To prevent people from frantically accepting tasks incessantly, the total number of tasks each person can accept is limited.

A cosmic-level genius, a critical-level mission—members of the Primordial Realm can accept a maximum of three such missions. Members of the Primordial Realm can accept a maximum of two.

Members of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and the Doomsday Secret Realm can only accept one desperate mission at most.

This is also for safety reasons.

If you're not strong enough, why would you take on a task that's considered an absolute challenge? Isn't that just courting death?

Secondly, there's the issue of resource allocation.

The extreme missions are incredibly dangerous, but the rewards are also outrageously high.

The maximum number of members in the Primal Realm can accept is three, which is the highest.

Dangerous missions: members of the Primal Realm can accept a maximum of 15 missions, and members of the Primordial Realm can accept a maximum of 10 missions.

Members of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm can accept a maximum of 6 missions, while members of the Doomsday Secret Realm can accept a maximum of 3 missions!

As for those below the danger level, there are fewer restrictions.

"The area around the Demon Sea is already your territory? Looks like you can just sit back and win again."

After Qin Mu explained the training mission and the situation in the Blood Luo World, Thor said with a smile.

Although they knew that the Blood Luo World was definitely not to be underestimated if it was classified as dangerous by the Virtual Universe Company, Qin Mu had already occupied a territory, which greatly reduced the danger.

Within the virtual universe company, there is neither support nor opposition to teammates helping each other in mission worlds; it's entirely up to them.

Given that both are at the cosmic level, undertaking training missions is inherently extremely dangerous. In most cases, one can barely protect oneself, let alone help others.

That's suicide!

But there are always exceptions. Some people are so close that they can entrust their lives to each other, and the Virtual Universe Company will not deliberately make things difficult for them.

Just like in Qin Mu's class, there was a brother and sister.

Are you saying that you can't allow people to help each other?

This is an extremely rare situation, especially when everyone is a competitor.

"Haha, I'll take care of you one more time, but I guess I won't be able to after that."

My next mission is a perilous one, and I'm not entirely confident I can guarantee your safety then.

However, regarding gene research, I'll contact you again when I make a breakthrough and help you enhance it.

Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Brother Mu has already helped us so much, how can we rely on you forever! We also need to hone our skills, otherwise we'll really be useless."

Hong and Lei Shen nodded in agreement. Even if Qin Mu wanted to keep taking them with him, they wouldn't do it.

After chatting with the three for a while, the four of them left to continue their cultivation.

They are all still cultivating in Chaos City, and every minute and every second is precious.

The reason the three of them were able to log into the virtual universe together this time was because they happened to be going to challenge the Tower of Babel.

After returning to the manor in the primitive area, Qin Mu glanced at Teacher Yu Chen in his contact list, hesitated for a moment, and then decided not to rush to tell Teacher Yu Chen about his research breakthrough.

The reason I can do this is mainly because I rely on the Zerg hive; without the hive's assistance, it would be impossible.

"I'll talk to my teacher when my abilities improve further and I can do it without relying on the mother nest."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

He has completely mastered the "Bloodline Evolution" taught by his teacher, including the many conjectures of the fifth-level Domain Dust teacher regarding the regulation of World Lord-level bloodlines.

If I hadn't studied "Bloodline Evolution," my progress in the path of bloodlines wouldn't have been so rapid.

Unfortunately, human research on bloodlines has almost stopped there; the only thing that can help us is the gene modulation method passed down in the Zerg tradition.

However, those only apply to various Zerg units; otherwise, the Zerg Queen herself wouldn't have earned the title of having the weakest divine body among the six top races.

After opening the backend system, Qin Mu looked at the three options: "Life," "Learning," and "Cultivation," and clicked on the "Learning" section.

During his two years in the Blood Luo World, he would also log into the virtual network to listen to lectures by some kings and even cosmic rulers, some of which were very helpful to him.

However, this time he didn't intend to attend the lecture; instead, he clicked on the "Practice" section.

The practice is divided into three categories: the Bridge to Heaven, the Sea of ​​Illusions, and the Altar of Immortality.

"I won't go to the Bridge to Heaven. Although many peak bloodline star beasts have improved their understanding of the laws by about ten times in the past two years, they have also gained some understanding of the fourth picture."

But even if you manage to get through one or two levels, it's not very meaningful. It's better to check out the other two.

……

Core members can easily enter the three major planes: the Bridge to Heaven, the Altar of Immortality, and the Sea of ​​Illusions.

The Immortal Altar Plane.

On the vast, black mountain range that stretches as far as the eye can see, there are countless peaks, each topped with a golden altar. As far as the eye can see, there are thousands upon thousands of golden altars on thousands of peaks.

brush!

Qin Mu's figure appeared at the foot of a golden altar.

"It's really strange. I can't feel any fluctuations from the origin of the universe, nor can I feel any external energy. My primal energy is gone, and my mental power is extremely scarce, barely supporting a trace of consciousness."

Sensing the abnormality in his body, Qin Mu shifted uncomfortably.

The moment I arrived in this plane, my body lost its original energy and mental power, and the fluctuations of my connection to the Ten Fundamental Laws disappeared. All my energy was gone.

All we have left is—physical strength!

"No wonder they say this is a place purely for testing strength."

Qin Mu looked at the altar beside him.

There are 99 steps in total. The top platform represents the 100th step. Only when the body exerts 100 units of force can it be considered that the body can be perfectly controlled.

As he climbed the steps, Qin Mu quickly reached the altar.

On the altar of the Immortal, there is a humanoid target. Next to the target is a screen with text on it, which translates to: "Please strike the target with your fist, elbow, head, knee, and foot within one second. Your strength will be calculated based on the lowest of these five strikes."

"Give it a try." Qin Mu stretched his muscles a little.

*Snap!* The sound of bones colliding.

Boom! The sound of a leg cutting through the air.

"Hmm." Qin Mu's eyes lit up, and he instantly launched an attack on the humanoid target in front of him.

Data appears on the screen —

"55 units, 53 units, 60 units, 58 units, 56 units, score is '56 units,' earning 1000 points."

"Is the force exerted 56 times the brute force?" Qin Mu shook his head.

The reason he was able to achieve 56 times the power was because when he was comprehending the Chaos Monument of the Universe, he chose a martial arts close combat movement technique called "Wandering Dragon Illusionary Body" and a set of secret spear techniques called "Tai Xu Wandering Dragon Spear".

After a period of practice, I was able to achieve this after gaining a certain level of control over my body.

Before that, the data will only get worse.

Unfortunately, I spent very little time practicing marksmanship, and although there were tens of thousands of Demon Slayers in the swarm who had gained enlightenment, they were all energy beings and did not have the concept of exerting force.

"Only when all parts of the body can be attacked to 100 units in a short period of time can it be said that one has truly and perfectly controlled one's body."

"Again!"

Five consecutive impacts, and five more results: "56 units, 54 units, 61 units, 60 units, 56 units, final score '57 units,' 0 points."

"Again!"

……

After trying again and again, hundreds of times in a row, Qin Mu's best score was 58 units, and his worst score was only 54 units. Except for the first time, he got 0 points every time!

You can earn points at the Sky Bridge, the Illusionary Sea, and the Immortal Altar.

But the rules are different.

The Cosmic Bridge has 27 levels. The first level is worth 100 points, the second level is worth 200 points, the third level is worth 400 points, and so on. Each subsequent level is worth twice the points of the previous level.

There are islands in the Illusionary Sea. From the outermost island, you fly deeper into the Illusionary Sea and into one island after another. The deeper you go into the island, the more terrifying the so-called oppression of the Illusionary Will becomes. The scoring system of the Illusionary Sea is somewhat similar to that of the Bridge to Heaven.

There are 21 islands in the Mirage Sea, from the outside in.

The first island is worth 100 points, the second island is worth 200 points, the third island is worth 400 points, and so on. The deepest part of the Illusionary Sea is the 21st island.

……

The Illusionary Sea and the Bridge to Heaven are places where immortal powerhouses and even Venerables venture, resulting in high scores.

But the Immortal Altar is different!

Perfect control over one's own power is one of the prerequisites for becoming immortal, which is why the Immortal Altar has the lowest score among the three.

Exert 50 units of force to gain 1000 points.

Exert 60 units of force to gain 2000 points.

Exert 70 units of force to gain 4000 points.

Exert 80 units of force to gain 8000 points.

Exert 90 units of force to gain 16000 points.

Exert 100 units of force to gain 5 points.

(Any score below 50 units will be 0 points)

……

"This is so embarrassing. As the Zerg Overlord, I should have the strongest control over my body, but I'm only in my early fifties. My psychic amplitude is already over 2000."

Qin Mu shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

I was indeed negligent. I usually rely mainly on mental power in combat and rarely train to exert physical force.

But exerting effort is one of the hurdles to becoming immortal.

"It seems that I will need to use my genes to hatch a batch of Zerg units, let them practice their marksmanship, go into actual combat, and improve their control over their bodies."

Qin Mu's swarm of insects stored countless genes of all kinds, but there were no humanoid combat units.

Because it's not worth it!

However, considering the issue of their own ability to exert force, this is indeed something that needs to be taken seriously.

The mighty Zerg Overlord has a weakness when it comes to exerting force!
