Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 245 The Grand Trend! The Blazing Universe

In the universe of devouring, martial artists should be called gene martial artists.

Upon reaching the planetary level, due to differences in genes, individuals will possess special abilities. Some have the special ability of 'fire,' while others have the special ability of 'light.'

The power of a genetic warrior can also be divided into 'physical strength' and 'genetic energy'.

Other professions, such as mentalists, illusionists, puppeteers, beast tamers, and apothecaries, are essentially genetic warriors as well.

From tenth-grade bloodline to gene multiplication.

From apprentice level to master of the universe, and even the strongest being in the universe.

The concept of genes runs through my entire spiritual practice and is the cornerstone of my spiritual journey.

When Qin Mu proposed and created the Seed of Genes, which could allow bloodlines to mutate from the lowest level, it undoubtedly ignited a flame in the entire universe.

A flame called hope.

Without hope, the lower-class bloodlines can only remain silent in the darkness, silently enduring their suffering.

But when they saw that ray of light, the entire universe suddenly burst into flames.

The Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is a remote and desolate star system.

Piloting a cheap Class A spaceship laden with supplies, Demetrius emerged from the dark universe, gazing excitedly at the planet he had longed for.

It was a pale planet with a diameter of about 20,000 kilometers.

Although the planet has a harsh environment and is often shrouded in blizzards, it is his home!

After selling all his assets, he purchased a large amount of basic cultivation resources and returned to his hometown with ten million gene seeds.

"I'm back! I will lead my homeland to rise again, and ensure that the Azure Scale Clan will never again be reduced to a slave race!"

Dimitri was incredibly determined, his eyes burning with a fierce fire, and he was no longer the dazed and confused man he once was.

Rumbling--

The alloy spaceship, over 500 meters long, roared as it broke through the clouds, revealing a city large enough to house tens of millions of people before Dimitru's eyes.

The loud noise startled the crowd below, and countless Azure Scale People looked up at the massive warship in the sky.

Three planetary-level warriors flew out from the palace in the very center of the city, looking happily at the warship in the sky.

"I, Dimitri, am back!"

A loud voice rang out from inside the warship, reaching the ears of all the Azure Scale people through the ship's broadcast system.

"It's Lord Dimitru!"

"Lord Demetrius has returned from the stars!"

"..."

Immediately, cheers erupted throughout the city.

As the strongest member of the Azure Scale Clan, he has been in the starry sky for decades.

He also returned several times during this period, bringing back news from the universe for the Qinglin clan, as well as cultivation techniques, technology, and so on.

However, this also made the higher-ups of the Azure Scales aware of the cruelty of the universe.

Like the Earth's leaders in the original timeline, they were filled with both longing and fear for the universe.

This is a world below planetary level, where even spaceships cannot be traveled!

The entire Azure Scale Clan has only six members at the Planetary level.

In other words, out of the billions of people in the entire Azure Scale Clan, only six are qualified to be considered human in the universe!

How could this not cause the Azure Scale Clan to feel terrified?

Even Dimitru, the strongest member of the Azure Scale Clan, could barely make ends meet in the universe.

Upon returning to his hometown, Dimitru immediately summoned the high-ranking members of the Azure Scale Clan.

Subsequently, various pieces of information from the universe spread throughout the entire Qinglin clan, and news of the previously sealed tenth-level bloodline spread far and wide.

In the past, in order to prevent the Azure Scale Clan from falling into complete despair, news from the universe was known only to a few high-ranking members.

Otherwise, if the news were to leak out, it would only cause the entire clan to completely collapse.

But at this moment, Dimitru decided to lead his people in a desperate last stand.

Through a global broadcasting system, Dimitru's voice and images were broadcast simultaneously across the entire planet.

"My people!"

"I brought back an incredibly wondrous treasure from the universe! The Seed of Genes!"

"As long as you are injected with the gene seed and go through a life-or-death battle, you will have the opportunity to break through the shackles of your bloodline and surpass yourself! However, I only have ten million gene seeds!"

I need to select ten million people from the Azure Scale Clan who have the strongest will and the most powerful spirit!

These ten million people will become the pioneers of the rise of my Azure Scale Clan!

To become a pioneer, most of us, including myself, will die on the path of evolution, but we have no other choice!

But even in death, we must perish on the path of evolution!

For the sake of our descendants, so that they will no longer be a race of inferior bloodlines!

We will die without regret!

We will definitely succeed!

In an instant, the Qinglin Clan, who had fallen into despair upon learning the truth about the universe, became excited.

They are not without hope!

Demeter brought back a wondrous seed of genes from the universe!

"I want to become the seed of gene injection, to be a pioneer."

A member of the Azure Scale Clan, carrying a battle axe, roared.

Count me in!

"Hahaha, it's just death!"

"..."

Throughout the entire planet, countless members of the Azure Scale Clan shouted in unison.

In just three days, hundreds of millions of people signed up to receive the gene injection.

After a brutal two-week selection process, Dimitru chose ten million of the most determined individuals from his tribe and injected them with the Seed of Gene.

The environment on White Mud Star is extremely harsh, and not only is the environment harsh, but it also breeds a large number of ferocious beasts.

The ferocious beasts have no intelligence, but they are extremely powerful. The most powerful of them is even a match for Dimitru.

If it weren't for the numerous technologies they acquired after entering space, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Azure Scale Clan, their lives would not be nearly as good as they are now.

Once these millions of pioneers were selected and underwent a period of training, they took the initiative to launch a large-scale war against the ferocious beasts.

Amidst the surging tide of beasts, the Azure Scaled People and the ferocious beasts fought fiercely.

"Die!"

A burly, fierce blue-scaled man wielded a warhammer and smashed a two-headed wolf-like monster, but there were simply too many ferocious beasts!

He was soon injured and found himself in dire straits.

In the face of life and death, the seed of his genes seemed to be triggered, and the power contained within the seed of his genes erupted.

"roar--"

A deep, bone-chilling pain caused him to roar out in anger, and a stream of dark blue energy surged from his body, condensing into droplets of water.

His injured body healed rapidly, and even his exhausted body began to emanate a continuous stream of power.

boom--

With a swing of the warhammer and an outburst of power, all the ferocious beasts in the surrounding area were slain.

He broke through and became a planetary-level warrior.

Bloodline evolution is the easiest time to break through, especially at lower levels such as apprentice, planetary, and eternal.

With each evolution, the demon's power increases dramatically.

The gene seed, which simulates the evolutionary path of a demon, also possesses this ability.

The unusual phenomenon of this blue-scaled person breaking through was immediately noticed by others around.

"Kagel has broken through! He has completed his bloodline evolution!"

Some gasped in surprise, while others roared in anger.

But mostly I felt excited!

Bloodline evolution is truly possible!

During bloodline evolution, there is a very high chance of breaking through the original realm!

Everyone immediately protected Kagelar; someone had evolved in the very first battle against the ferocious beast!

Encouraged, countless Azure Scale people fought even more fiercely.

Once there's a first one, there'll soon be a second, a third...

After several battles, the number of planetary-level members in the Azure Scale Clan has reached twelve!

The combat strength of the entire Qinglin clan's high-level members has almost doubled!

How could they not be overjoyed?

Even Dimitru, as the leader, successfully underwent a transformation during the battle.

Although he did not immediately break through to the cosmic level, he clearly sensed that the bloodline that had previously imprisoned him from breaking through had loosened.

He now has the potential to go even further!

The upward staircase has appeared!

Scenes similar to the Azure Scale Clan are far too numerous to count in the 1008 universe kingdoms.

The quiet universe seemed to boil over.

Battles are everywhere!

The battles between human races and ferocious beasts, and even the battles within human races themselves.

Crazy!

The scene became even more frantic, especially with people constantly breaking through the defenses around them.

Once the transformation is complete, not only will your bloodline be enhanced, but your strength will also increase significantly!

Just as the Lord of Chaos had predicted, the entire human race became restless after the Seed of Genes appeared.

Blooming amidst carnage, like a flower at dawn!

The flower of hope, born from slaughter and death, blossoms throughout the entire human race.

However, what truly ignited humanity's passion occurred on the battlefields beyond the borders.

Humans can be divided into three categories based on their living environment: God-Kingdom Humans, Cosmic Mystery Humans, and Cosmic Kingdom Humans.

The humans in the 1008 Universe Kingdom are only a part of the human race.

In some secret realms of the universe, there are many landmasses, and countless humans live on those super-large landmasses.

Some large landmasses have diameters of hundreds of billions of kilometers, and the population of one such large landmass can be comparable to that of an entire universe.

Those places are filled with abundant cosmic primordial energy, and the humans living there are almost all planetary-level beings when they grow up, which has cultivated many powerful individuals.

Humans are among the many immortal gods, and within the divine realms of these immortal gods, a large number of humans also inhabit.

In the battlefields beyond the realm, some have lived in a divine kingdom since childhood, while others live on a large continent.

However, only after these humans reach the cosmic level will they have the opportunity to log into the virtual universe and see the outside world.

The landmasses of the cosmic secret realm can sustain a large number of humans, so why wage war to seize territory?

War is about territorial disputes!

Why are we arguing?

It's all about resources!

Just as plants need enough sunlight to grow, if plants are too dense, none of them will grow well.

The same thing!

The formation of life is very special. Whether it is flesh-and-blood life, mechanical life, plant life, etc., as long as it is life, it will absorb the "essence" of the entire universe during its gestation.

Life is conceived and grows by absorbing special energy from the universe.

For example, if there is only one life-bearing planet within a range of 1000 light-years, and that planet has 100 billion people, then almost all the cosmic energy within that range of 1000 light-years is used to nurture that one life-bearing planet.

And the secret realm of the universe.

With a population comparable to that of a cosmic nation, yet crammed onto a large landmass, the population density is many times higher, naturally resulting in a much smaller supply of 'cosmic essence'.

And the humans of the divine realm.

The divine kingdom is located in a spatial rift, not in the original universe. The amount of cosmic essence it can absorb is pitifully less than that of humans in the 'cosmic secret realm'!

Humans in the Divine Kingdom are the most numerous, yet they can only cultivate to the level of World Lord.

Over countless years, only 9082 immortal gods have been born, all of whom had special opportunities. Without such special opportunities, the humans of the divine kingdom are destined not to become "immortal".

Humans on the land of the cosmic secret realm rank second in number. Like the humans of the 'cosmic kingdom,' they can cultivate to become immortal gods, but the probability of producing a 'cosmic venerable' is outrageously low!

The humans of the Cosmic Kingdom are the fewest in number, yet occupy the largest territory! Throughout history, a large number of immortal gods have been born, and among the Cosmic Venerables, a full 98.2% are all from the Cosmic Kingdom.

Territory is like fertile soil!

The larger the territory, the greater the potential of the race, and the higher the probability of producing a super strong person.

However, this curse was broken.

In just a few short years, two human realm lords from the God Kingdom successfully broke through to immortality on the battlefield outside the realm!

After investigation by the human leadership, it was discovered that both individuals had very low bloodline levels and had both used gene seeds to successfully evolve more than three times!

During the evolution of their bloodlines, they were all on the battlefield outside the realm rather than within the divine realm.

During evolution, the body is like being conceived in a mother's womb, naturally absorbing a small amount of the 'essence' of the universe.

The more times it evolves, the more essence of the universe it absorbs, the stronger its potential, and the greater its probability of breaking through to become immortal.

Crazy!

They've gone completely mad.

Humans in the Divine Kingdom are the most numerous, yet they can only cultivate to the level of World Lord!

What a tragedy!

Compared to the lower-blooded races of humans, the number of humans in the divine kingdom is much greater!

Not only the humans of the divine realm, but also the humans of the cosmic secret realm have gone mad.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Entering the battlefield outside the domain, who doesn't have to go through countless battles?

In the pursuit of evolution! Everyone went crazy.

……

Qin Mu was unaware of these things.

The Seed of Genes still has many problems, the biggest of which is that the chance of bloodline transformation is too low.

Although one's will is strong, having experienced many life-or-death battles can increase the chances of such an outcome.

But it's still too low.

Another point is that having only eight types of genes is clearly not enough.

Some groups may possess two attributes simultaneously, but the current gene seed can only choose one.

Gene compatibility has always been a key area of ​​research for Qin Mu, and naturally, it remains unresolved here.

Another issue is the direction of cultivation, such as the fire attribute.

There are many kinds of fire, which can be seen when you step into the planetary level. Different people will awaken different talents, such as Qin Mu's awakened black flame.

The extinguishing of the flames always transforms them into the most ferocious blazing behemoths.

There are many similar problems, but Qin Mu is only human and cannot do everything perfectly.

These problems can only be solved through continuous iteration in the future.

Qin Mu had considered spreading the method of making the Seed of Genes so that other pharmacists could solve some of the problems.

But in the end, they gave up because the creation of the Seed of Genes is actually quite difficult. To create it, one needs at least a master-level alchemist and a deep understanding of bloodlines.

How could a gene seed capable of evolving into a cosmic-level bloodline not be difficult to create?

Even if it spreads, there won't be many that can produce the seed of the gene.

Moreover, if the production method were to be spread, it would be easy for other races to learn and imitate it, which would be a loss.

Qin Mu can add a gene lock; with the Zerg swarm's gene lock in place, he is confident that no one can unlock it.

But others can't do it.

If this can be solved, it means that this person's achievements in the path of genes far surpass Qin Mu's, and no amount of restriction will be effective.

However, this is only temporary. Once Qin Mu comes up with a solution that satisfies both sides, it may be able to spread and, with the help of everyone's wisdom, make the genes more perfect.

"Perhaps I can create a basic framework for the gene seed, allowing other pharmacists to refine its internal genes?"

Qin Mu pondered.

However, he quickly stopped thinking about it; that was a matter for the future.

The current amount of gene seeds is barely enough, what more could we ask for!

As the saying goes, you can't get fat in one bite; take it one step at a time.

I might only write one chapter today. My wife is sick, and I need to help take care of the kids. I think I've caught it too; I'm not feeling well. I'll write as much as I can, but I don't know if I can actually finish it.
