Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 237 Chaos City Lord: Human Genetic Ascension?

For a powerhouse of Chaos City Lord's caliber, two or three geniuses with six times the genetic potential are utterly insignificant.

Two or three? It doesn't matter if there are two or three hundred!

A genius of this caliber is far less important than a cosmic sovereign.

But what about several thousand?

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more?

When the quantity reaches a certain level, it will cause a qualitative change!

With such a high gene density, becoming a world lord is inevitable.

Let alone six times the gene, even ordinary world lord-level bloodlines, if they could be mass-produced, would be a revolutionary change for the human race!

Having a World Lord-level bloodline means having stronger talent and a greater chance of becoming an immortal.

Becoming immortal will make you even stronger!

The more immortals there are, the stronger their potential will be, and the more cosmic venerables will naturally appear, making it even more likely that a cosmic master will emerge!

This is not a problem of one or two strong individuals; it is about the overall potential of the entire race being enhanced.

Although the human race is large in number, it is very weak compared to other top races at the Realm Lord stage and even the Immortal stage.

During the era of the Realm Lord, they were at a disadvantage compared to many powerful clans.

For example, the Leiquan tribe, which Luo Feng once encountered on the battlefield.

The Thunder Spring Clan possesses a sacred place called "Thunder Spring." Every newborn Thunder Spring Clan baby is placed in the Thunder Spring. The gestation period ends when these babies can climb to the top of the vines above the Thunder Spring and escape using their own abilities.

Therefore, every member of the Thunder Spring Clan... is born a favorite of the laws of lightning, naturally able to control lightning, and extremely skilled in comprehending the laws of lightning, and their power is immense when unleashed.

Just as the Demon Slayer Clan is the darling of space, the Golden Horned Beast is the darling of the Law of Gold.

This is undoubtedly a powerful race, and the advantage that the human race has over them is their numbers!

The Leiquan tribe has a population of less than one millionth of the human population!

In the universe, there are many races similar to the Thunder Spring Clan.

Humanity thrives on sheer numbers!

But what if human talent could also be elevated to this level, or even stronger?

With a massive human population and powerful talents, it's terrifying to even think about.

Under the expectant gaze of the Chaos City Lord, Qin Mu slowly spoke.

"Before meeting my teacher, I followed Master Yu Chen in my cultivation, and it was during that time that I came into systematic contact with the path of bloodline."

Teacher Yu Chen's research on bloodlines is also very profound; he even created the secret technique "Bloodline Evolution."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded. Before accepting Qin Mu as his personal disciple, he had thoroughly investigated all of Qin Mu's information.

This includes the Immortal Domain Dust.

Among all pharmacists, he is considered one of the best.

pity.

Humans don't have a high ceiling in the field of pharmacists, let alone in the field of bloodlines.

"Teacher Yu Chen taught me the 'Bloodline Evolution' technique, which has four levels, namely the Domain Lord level."

The fifth level, the Realm Lord level, is only a vague guess.

Teacher Yu Chen's wish is to be able to research and develop a bloodline potion for the realm lord level.

This is what Professor Yu Chen expects of me, and it's also the direction I've been researching all along.

Thanks to Master Yu Chen's guidance and the research on bloodlines within the Zerg heritage, this disciple's genetic research reached the Domain Lord level while cultivating in Chaos City.

Qin Mu paused for a moment at this point, then continued.

"Before entering the Blood Luo World, I also tried to enhance my bloodline, but unfortunately I failed. The test subjects all died due to genetic collapse."

After coming into contact with Blood Crystal, I discovered that it has the effect of stabilizing genes, which led to a leap forward in technology!

Qin Mu recounted his research process without reservation.

He was particularly excited when talking about the golden light of the evil aura vortex and the chain-like enhancement of the abyss demon genes.

"Teacher, I plan to simulate the genetic transformation of the abyss demons and enhance human genes in a similar way."

I've made some initial progress on the genetic transformations of the metal, fire, earth, water, and lightning series.

Qin Mu smiled.

Human bloodlines are divided into ten grades!

I started my research from the lowest level ten bloodline. With each genetic mutation, the genes are upgraded!

After ten upgrades, one can reach the Domain Lord level bloodline.

The eleventh transformation will allow one to reach the level of a World Lord.

The twelfth transformation is a gene multiplication!

The thirteenth and fourteenth times after that go without saying.

I call this the Human Genetic Ascension Project.

The Lord of Chaos was inexplicably shocked. If this was truly the case, wouldn't all humans be able to reach the level of World Lord?

"Human Ascension Project?"

If we could really achieve this, it would be a leap forward for humanity!

But how is that possible?

The Lord of Chaos City immediately asked.

"Surely there must be some limits to this kind of genetic transformation, right?"

What stage is your research at?

Qin Mu touched his nose and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Currently undergoing its eighth transformation, which is at the cosmic level."

However, given a little more time, I believe I can achieve the tenth or eleventh transformation.

Of course there are limitations; achieving genetic transformation is not so easy.

It takes a tremendous stimulus for transformation to occur.

To put it simply, the most direct way is a life-or-death battle!

Between life and death, there is great terror, but also great opportunity!

Other stimuli can also lead to transformation, such as extreme pain or extreme excitement.

But the possibility is relatively small.

Moreover, the transformation process is extremely painful, and the stronger one's will, the better the transformation will be.

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and chuckled. This was just empty promises!

They've only researched up to the cosmic level, yet they dare to boast about reaching the realm master level, or even a genetic multiplication!

However, given his disciple's talent, he might actually be able to do it.

After all, he has indeed achieved a six-fold increase in gene density; he just needs to conduct targeted research.

As for needing to fight to the death and having a strong will, can those be considered requirements?

How can you become a strong person without these two conditions?

In the Giant Axe Arena, one of the five most powerful forces in humankind, every battle is a life-or-death struggle.

Needless to say, willpower is also crucial.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Chaos City felt an urge to rush into the Abyss of Purgatory and pull Qin Mu out to conduct his research in peace.

With this talent, why bother with cultivation?

"Couldn't you just give Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen their genes a 6-fold boost?"

How come it's only reached the cosmic level now?

Why don't you start your research from the tenth-level Earthly Bloodline and go straight to the Domain Lord level?

The Lord of Chaos City, unfamiliar with gene research, asked with some curiosity.

"That's different. It's because I conducted in-depth research on the genes of each of them, and combined that with the Zerg's innate gene manipulation ability, that I was able to do it."

But the gene chain enhancement I'm talking about has universal applicability!

It can be mass-produced and mass-produced like regular bloodline potions.

Once you master the technique, other pharmacists can make it too.

Qin Mu explained.

"As for starting the research from the lowest level of bloodline."

One reason is to accumulate experience.

Secondly, because of the so-called chain reaction, the initial transformation is actually a prelude, a gradual change that eventually leads to a qualitative change!

The third reason is that I have some selfish motives. When I entered the universe, I saw a lot of darkness.

Human bloodlines are divided into ten grades, and we humans on Earth belong to the lowest grade, the ninth. I wish to give some weaker races a little hope, a hope that they can become the strongest!

Instead of being forever a race of slaves!

Qin Mu sighed softly.

His strength is still too weak, so he can only do things in this roundabout way.

After Qin Mu finished speaking, the Lord of Chaos City fell silent. The first two reasons were normal, but the third reason touched him inexplicably.

Human bloodlines are divided into ten grades, and it is perfectly normal for higher-grade bloodlines to enslave lower-grade bloodlines.

The slave trade flourished in the universe, and most of those enslaved were of lower races.

Enslaving powerful races, like the Manka aliens, what will happen to you?

Even someone as powerful as the Lord of Chaos City cannot change such a thing.

Leaving aside the vested interests involved, the main issue is resources!

Human resources are finite, and these finite resources must be used wisely.

The struggle between the six dominant races was incredibly fierce, ultimately stemming from the conflict over resources.

There are only so many resources in the universe. If powerful races take more, then weaker races will naturally take less.

Using the same resources to cultivate a powerful race is more cost-effective and produces more powerful individuals.

This is a very simple multiple-choice question.

"As you said, this can indeed give hope to some vulnerable groups."

But without a doubt, it will also make competition in the universe more intense.

With hope, these vulnerable groups will fight desperately to seize that sliver of opportunity.

Powerful clans would not want them to rise to power.

The Lord of Chaos City seemed to see boundless chaos and war.

This is a good thing, but if not handled properly, it can turn into a bad thing.

"Isn't this a good thing? Even weaker races have hope, and the overall strength of human civilization is improved."

Qin Mu seemed not to understand what the Lord of Chaos City meant, and simply smiled.

"You're right! This is a good thing!"

Do you need any help with your research?

This is of great significance to all of humanity.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled as well, acknowledging that his disciple was right; this was a good thing.

It's always good to give hope to those weaker races.

As for a little chaos, what does it matter?

Perhaps even more powerful individuals will emerge.

"Of course I need it! I need the superior genes of some powerful races, such as star behemoths with peak bloodlines, or special life forms."

"It would be even better if it had the flesh and blood of a naturally born beast god!"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up; this meant they were going to invest in him.

And in the name of humanity's higher-ups, how could he possibly let such a good opportunity pass him by?

One of the main reasons he studied these things was for resources!

Collecting them one by one is too slow; it's much faster than having a human group collect them for you.

"You really dare to dream! A peak-blooded star-level behemoth is one thing, but your chain gene enhancement has only reached the cosmic level, yet you dare to desire a special life form, the flesh and blood of a born beast god!"

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and chuckled.

It's obvious they're trying to take advantage of the situation.

"Teacher, I didn't ask for this for nothing. The reason I was able to research the World Lord level bloodline is because of the peak bloodline Starry Sky Beast in my hands."

And I haven't finished speaking yet.

Qin Mu chuckled and said that he was indeed just making empty promises; it would take many years to actually develop the technology.

He didn't have a bloodline evolution potion that could be adapted to everyone, but he did have some achievements in the field.

"When I was doing my research, I had two important experimental samples, one of which was the genome of humans on Earth."

"Another one is the genes of the Manka aliens."

"When I was in Chaos City, I asked Prince Uka of Manka Star for some blood to use as research material."

Therefore, I created three World Lord-level bloodline evolution potions specifically for enhancing the bloodlines of the Manka aliens!

Although large-scale mass production is not possible due to various reasons, small-batch production is not a problem.

However, this bloodline enhancement potion only works on the Manka aliens; it is ineffective on other races.

This bloodline potion was naturally made using the mother nest; it was something that he couldn't achieve using human methods alone.

The Chaos City Lord's heart skipped a beat; there really was already a World Lord-level bloodline evolution potion!

"How many resources are needed to create a Lord-level bloodline potion for the Manka aliens?"

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but ask.

"It will probably require about 100 Chaos Yuan!"

Qin Mu blinked, and said somewhat guiltily.

In reality, of course, that many are not needed. With the swarm's capabilities, it would only take 25 Chaos Yuan to create a Flame Tank Zerg at the peak World Lord level.

The maximum amount of mixed energy needed to create a potion that can enhance the bloodline of the Manka Star people is 5!

"100 Mixed Yuan?"

Seeing Qin Mu's appearance, the Chaos City Lord immediately understood the situation and then spoke.

"Too few!"

"You'll need at least 1000 Hunyuan. Considering the possibility of failure in potion manufacturing, plus your initial investment, 1 Hunyuan isn't excessive."

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head, and then said...

"1 Hunyuan is the cost price. The average price of a Marquis Immortal is tens of millions of Hunyuan."

"Without the ability to mass-produce them, those who need World Lord-level potions are truly powerful families and major forces who don't lack the funds."

Qin Mu opened his mouth. This potion could only be considered a first-generation product, and he hadn't put much effort into it, so at most it could only barely reach the level of a World Lord.

"Let me handle this for you."

I will convene a high-level human council and give you sufficient resources.

"I will find all the top-tier star-level behemoths you desire, and I will also strive to obtain for you special life forms and the flesh and blood of born beast gods."

The Lord of Chaos City took a deep breath; this was an absolutely momentous event for humanity!

Compared to these, some peak-bloodline star beasts are nothing at all.

However, special life forms are indeed rare, and not many are found in humanity's treasure trove.

Each unique life form can be described as having a moderate level of opportunity.

He couldn't use it without a valid reason to benefit his disciples.

In the past, he never gave his disciples too many resources, because it was not actually beneficial to their growth.

To reach the pinnacle, one must hone one's skills and experience life and death.

However, for a special case like Qin Mu, the same laissez-faire approach cannot be used as before.

"Where is the potion you mentioned? In the Abyss of Purgatory? I'll send someone to retrieve it!"

"That's what the Lord of Chaos City said."

Qin Mu's eyes widened. Wasn't it said that teleportation in the Abyss of Purgatory was random?

Can I still come and pick it up?

The Lord of Chaos City realized that he had said something wrong in his excitement, and he blinked and fell silent.

Having learned from Corti's example, how could he not have left himself some backup plan?

No matter what the Abyss of Purgatory is like, it's just a mission world. As a dignified ruler of the universe, can't he do something about it?

"Teacher, there's no need for that. I left a clone in the Primal Secret Realm Manor. Just go there to retrieve it."

Qin Mu blinked and said.

"Ahem, um, I understand."

The Chaos City Lord's gaze towards his disciple was also a bit off. In the manor of the Primal Secret Realm?

Was this prepared in advance and left there, or was it made on the spot?

The two exchanged a smile and tacitly agreed not to discuss the topic further.

"Human genes have advanced? You've given me a wonderful surprise!"

"Haha, you go ahead and get busy. I'll contact you when I'm done."

Chapter 1, please support me with monthly tickets, the data is terrible!
