Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 215 The Trio of Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor with 60x Genes

"It hurts so much."

"Three days have passed, we finally made it through."

Luo Feng's eyes were lifeless, and he nearly collapsed and fainted.

Thor and Hong, who were standing to the side, also collapsed completely.

In order to achieve a perfect fusion with the genes of the peak bloodline star beast, the three of them persevered through the gene optimization and fusion process.

The pain that penetrated to the very marrow and even the depths of their souls made all three of them tremble uncontrollably.

Even the deep-seated genetic modifications caused the three to lose control of their bodies.

They had finally made it through. The three of them were too exhausted to even speak, and lay quietly in the dark green liquid within the flesh chamber, replenishing their life force.

"My physical strength is at least five or six times greater than before! And I also have insights into the laws of nature. It feels so good."

Even just lying here without consciously trying, I can clearly sense the fundamental laws of gold and space; it's like being with the Golden Horned Beast.

Luo Feng felt the changes in his body; a massive amount of life force was repairing his torn body.

If it weren't for the dark green liquid constantly replenishing their life force, the energy in their bodies would not be enough to support the genetic transformation.

The life force contained in this dark green liquid is even stronger than that of the fruit of life!

In fact, even a hundred Life Fruits wouldn't be enough to provide the resources needed to modify and enhance the bloodlines of the three.

Amplifying gene numbers is not as easy as it seems.

Even with the help of a swarm of insects, the resources required will not decrease.

Of course, it's worth it; it's a multiplier effect on genes!

"What a wonderful feeling."

As Luo Feng quietly sensed the changes within his body, Thor's exclamation came from the side.

"My god, my understanding of the fundamental laws of time is so clear! And the laws of lightning—my physical strength has increased sixfold!"

Inside the flesh chamber, Thor's body shimmered with strange patterns, and he had never felt the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of time so clearly.

As one of the higher laws, the fundamental law of time is much more difficult to comprehend than the fundamental law of lightning.

The domain lord-level potion he had taken previously only enhanced his understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning.

Hong's eyes also shone brightly, and he clearly sensed the fluctuations of the fundamental law of time.

In the original timeline, one of the main reasons why Hong and Thor rose to power relatively slowly was that their comprehension of the fundamental laws was far inferior to that of true geniuses.

Because of their mental advantage, they gradually climbed to the top.

But at this moment, Qin Mu made up for their weakness.

Their understanding of the fundamental laws is already stronger than that of most top geniuses.

"Congratulations! The enhancements are complete, and all the results are the best we could have hoped for, achieving a 6x increase in gene output!"

Qin Mu walked over with a smile in the enhanced hall.

"6 times the genetic potential?"

Although Qin Mu had told them before, they were still shocked when it actually happened to them.

The three of them are now core members of Virtual Universe Company, and their knowledge is much broader than before. However, even a company as powerful as Virtual Universe Company has never had such a secret method or such technology!

Normally, the evolution and leap of the body's genes only happen a few times, from apprentice level to planetary level, planetary level to eternal level, eternal level to cosmic level, cosmic level to domain lord level, and domain lord level to world lord level!

It is only by breaking through these few hurdles that the body's genes undergo a leap. And the progression from the first to the ninth rank is an accumulation of quantity.

Physical evolution! Soul evolution!

This all happens naturally when you break through each level; it's a rule of operation in the vast universe.

It's like the rules of the universe stipulate that... the lifespan limit of a soul is 1000 epochs, which stipulates the lifespan limits of planetary, eternal, cosmic, and domain lord levels.

This kind of genetic evolution is also one of the rules of the universe.

The highest speed in outer space is the speed of light, which is also one of the rules of the universe.

However, under Qin Mu's genetic modification, their genes directly completed a leap at the cosmic level, an unprecedented leap!

How could this not horrify them?

They simply couldn't understand how Qin Mu had done it.

In fact, the ability to achieve a 6-fold increase in gene count largely depends on the fact that Qin Mu's gene technology has been further improved, making the gene fusion more perfect.

At the core of the malevolent vortex in the ruins of the ancient gods, under the illumination of the golden law runes, Qin Mu's research on genes made leaps and bounds.

The three of them were originally of Domain Lord level bloodline, standing at the pinnacle of human bloodlines.

It is also a fusion of the genes of a star-sky behemoth with ten times the genetic power of the peak bloodline!

Qin Mu was originally confident that he could increase their gene multiplier to 4 times, but 6 times would require luck, with a probability of less than 10%.

But with technological breakthroughs, it has reached at least 50%!

Another factor is the unwavering will of the three individuals, who persevered throughout the genetic modification process, allowing the fusion to achieve its most perfect state.

Of course, the most important factor is the support from the swarm's mother hive.

Even a mother hive Qinmu, which doesn't possess the innate ability to manipulate and modify genes, cannot do this.

During these three days, Qin Mu did not rest, devoting 99% of his energy to the genetic modification of the three people.

As a result, many calculations within the mother nest were halted, making way for the perfect fusion of the three people's genes.

Under these circumstances, all three of them increased their power by six times.

This isn't a 6-fold increase in strength, but a 6-fold increase in the essence of life!

Even the royal family among the six top-tier demon clans is only at this level.

This was what truly shocked the three of them.

They're not stupid; they know how much of a stir this leak would cause.

The entire executive team of Virtual Universe Company is probably in an uproar.

"Remember to keep the matter of gene enhancement a secret."

This matter is not yet time to be revealed, because it concerns some of my own opportunities.

Qin Mu said solemnly.

"Don't worry, we understand. If this gets out, you'll never have a peaceful day again."

The three of them also became serious.

If this secret were to be exposed, countless people would come to Qin Mu seeking to enhance their gene multipliers!

Among the top executives of the Virtual Universe Company, cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords will come to seek them out.

They may not need it, but they have descendants and disciples!

Countless alien races will also target Qin Mu, regarding him as a must-kill objective.

Even so, Qin Mu did not hide anything from them, which made the three of them extremely grateful.

But what shocked them even more was what followed, because Qin Mu then said...

"That concludes the gene fusion discussion. You can take a break now."

Once the body has fully recovered, we can proceed with the fusion of the Blood Crystal.

"Haha, I originally told you it would be an improvement of about 10 times, but now it looks like there's hope for a 60-fold improvement!"

Qin Mu smiled.

"What?! 60 times!"

Thor, who had been lying in the dark green liquid replenishing his life force, suddenly sat up, staring intently at Qin Mu with disbelief in his eyes.

Luo Feng and Hong were the same; their pain suddenly disappeared, and they felt full of boundless power.

"Haha, that's right! 60 times! If we're lucky, it can be even stronger."

Seeing Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen staring at him with shining eyes, Qin Mu smiled.

"You all read about the Blood Luo World before you came here, right?"

The three nodded in unison, staring at Qin Mu and waiting for his explanation.

"There are two cultivation tasks in the Blood Luo Continent. The first is to obtain a Blood Luo Crystal, which will earn you 1 points if you succeed."

The second is to obtain the title of "Blood Warrior" and receive the "Blood Luo Medal," which grants 10 points upon success.

In this Blood Luo Continent, the most important thing is the Blood Luo Crystal!

As Qin Mu spoke, long, triangular prism-shaped crystals floated behind him.

It was entirely blood red, faintly transparent, and had an invisible fluctuation that made people feel a bit like the beating of a heart, with one wave after another.

"This is the Blood Crystal, a treasure of the Blood Continent."

By fusing with just one Blood Crystal, one's physical attributes can be improved by about 30%, and one's understanding of all fundamental laws can also be improved by 30%!

Remember, this applies to all fundamental laws!

The genetic evolution I've given you only involves two corresponding enhancements.

Qin Mu paused for a moment, then continued.

"There are several thresholds for fusing Blood Crystals: one, three, and ten!"

Merge one, and boost by 30%.

By fusing three Blood Crystals, one becomes known as a Blood Warrior on the Blood Continent, doubling the compatibility of all laws.

However, if one can fuse ten of them and become a legendary Black Warrior on the Blood Continent, one can be ten times stronger!

We will boost your genes tenfold, building upon your existing six-fold genetic advantage!

That's 60 times!

The three were stunned—a 60-fold increase!

The essence of life is enhanced 60 times.

Some weak special life forms are nothing more than this, but the three of them now have the opportunity to increase their strength by 60 times!

"Fusing Blood Crystals is extremely difficult; even fusing just one crystal is difficult for ordinary bloodlines."

Fusing two Blood Crystals increases the physical requirements tenfold, while fusing three Blood Crystals increases them a thousandfold!

The requirements become increasingly stringent as you go further!

If your life genes hadn't increased sixfold, it would have been impossible to fuse ten.

This has nothing to do with willpower, but rather because the body's genes cannot withstand it.

However, once you reach six times the genetic potential, as long as your will is strong enough, you will have the chance to successfully fuse ten Blood Crystals and become a legendary Black Warrior in the Blood Continent!

In the original timeline, Luo Feng's Earthling self successfully fused ten Blood Crystals to become a Black Warrior, but only after obtaining the second tribulation of the ninth-tier secret manual and reaching a six-fold increase in gene power in the extraterrestrial battlefield.

Because of the second tribulation's 6x gene boost, coupled with the fusion of ten Blood Crystals to become a Black Warrior, Luo Feng was able to allow his Earthling self to reach the King-level combat power at the World Lord level!

However, because of Qin Mu, their cosmic-level ninth-order gene multiplier reached 6 times.

With a gene multiplication rate of 6, as long as one's will is strong enough to withstand the impact of slaughter, one can successfully fuse ten Blood Crystals.

The three of them immediately became fanatical: Blood Crystal!

"There are some things I didn't tell you in the virtual universe, but it doesn't matter here."

Blood Crystal is actually the blood of the Golden and Void Beast Gods, which were born in the primordial universe!

That was a supreme being, a cosmic ruler born from the primordial universe; even a single drop of its blood possessed incredible power!

Lord of the Universe!

My God, Blood Crystal is actually the blood of the Lord of the Universe!

With Qin Mu's explanation, the three of them understood what a born beast god was and became more aware of the wonder of the Blood Crystal.

"No wonder! No wonder, it turns out to be a terrifying existence at the level of a universe master."

Luo Feng muttered to himself.

Hong and Thor were also shocked; that was one of the most powerful beings in the universe!

"Luo Feng, I have some good news to tell you."

Seeing the three people who were almost stunned, Qin Mu dropped another bombshell.

"Blood Crystal is effective against all living beings with flesh and blood."

There was a smile in Qin Mu's eyes.

"Could it be... my Golden Horned Beast clone!"

Luo Feng also realized what was happening, and his eyes were filled with ecstatic joy.

Unlike the original timeline, Hong and Lei Shen already knew that Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast clone, and they were now looking at Luo Feng with envy.

"Blood Crystal is the blood of a naturally born beast god with gold and spatial attributes. Do you know what that means?"

This means you and Blood Crystal are the most compatible!

"Next, you should rest for three days. Once your life force is fully replenished, you can try fusing with the Blood Crystal."

Chapter Two. Both chapters today are over 3,000 words each, so I'll try splitting them up and updating three chapters a day. I'm writing one chapter now.
