Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 249 Transforming Myself! I'm Not Human Anymore!

The Abyss of Purgatory has an unknown number of levels, an unknown duration of existence, and an unknown number of demon lords who entered the Tower of the Abyss to receive their inheritance.

However, the Abyss of Purgatory has no master to this day, indicating that no one has ever reached the last level of the Tower of the Abyss.

Inside the Tower of the Abyss, Qin Mu received the inheritance layer by layer, ascending one level at a time.

In terms of psychic power amplitude, because Qin Mu's foundation is too strong, the improvement is not very obvious yet; his soul is becoming more and more condensed.

However, the amplitude of the body's vibrations is increasing at an exaggerated rate.

The more Qin Mu cultivated, the more subtle changes he felt in his body, making his physical structure more suitable for exerting force.

Such secret techniques are extremely valuable, even within the treasury of the Virtual Universe Corporation.

Given his status, obtaining a secret technique of this level would not be easy.

"Ha, I originally only planned to strengthen some insect swarms in the Abyss of Purgatory, and I didn't intend to deliberately seek opportunities, but I stumbled upon one."

Qin Mu was overjoyed.

In fact, he didn't even consider that with the way the swarm expands, how could anyone possibly escape its control if they had any chance?

Others who enter the Abyss of Purgatory can only hide and seek opportunities.

But what about Qin Mu?

The game started with a large-scale battle against the demons, wiping out all the demons that dared to invade.

Then they expanded wildly, bringing everything in sight under the rule of the swarm.

Among them are countless mines, treasures and other artifacts.

Yes, not minerals, but mines!

Throughout the entire Purgatory Abyss, aside from other things, there are a great many kinds of minerals, with various mineral veins stretching endlessly.

Wherever the swarm passes, and wherever it conquers, worker worms will naturally dig.

The resources obtained from just this one layer of the Abyss of Purgatory are no less than those from hundreds of star systems in China.

Outside the Tower of the Abyss.

After Qin Mu was teleported away, the various research projects did not stop, but continued in an orderly manner.

Inside each of the hives, a frail Zerg queen with wings on her back bustles about.

If the swarm can hatch cosmic behemoths, it can certainly hatch the Zerg Queen!

These Zerg Queens are also only at the Domain Lord level, led by Elena, and serve as the lower-level core of the Zerg swarm, making the swarm's structure healthier.

Compared to combat, the Zerg Queen is actually more adept at logistics and research.

Their presence has greatly reduced Qin Mu's workload, as they can be entrusted with many basic research tasks.

Of course, as newly hatched Zerg queens, they are still too immature.

In terms of combat, it's alright, but in terms of research, we can only do some basic aspects.

Wisdom requires time to mature.

Perhaps centuries from now, they will have grown up and become qualified researchers, but not now.

Although a portion of the consciousness was being inherited, consuming some of the swarm's computing power, Qin Mu still did not give up his research in various aspects.

This was especially true after they collected tens of thousands of [Abyss Crystals].

Whether it's the Perfect Divine Body Project, the Insect Hive Fortress Project, the Starry Sky Beast Fusion Project, the Starry Sky Beast Mother Nest Project, or the Human Ascension Project, investing in [Abyss Crystals] can accelerate the achievement of results.

……

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the primordial universe, the seed of genes had already spread throughout the entire human race.

Whether it's the 1008 cosmic kingdoms, the numerous human secret realms, or most of the lower bloodlines in the divine kingdom, they have all been injected with the seed of genes.

Most of the lower races appeared extremely crazy because, over time, more and more people underwent bloodline evolution!

In just ten years, the overall strength of some crazy lower races has increased several times, and a large number of planetary and celestial beings have emerged.

Even more extreme, some have experienced continuous mutations in their bloodline, reaching the level of a Domain Lord!

This included some slaves!

When a slave's strength reaches the level of a domain lord, the fate of his master is predictable.

This once made some slave traders very opposed to the gene.

It wasn't just slave traders; many groups of superior bloodlines also rejected the Seed of Genes.

For example, some powerful races at the cosmic or domain lord level.

The rise of inferior groups will inevitably clash with their interests, but such exclusion is undoubtedly futile.

The five strongest human powers have joined forces to severely punish anyone who dares to obstruct the spread of the gene seed!

Sentenced to a severe punishment for the entire clan!

In addition to the internal environment of humans, the external environment of humans has also become more subtle.

The emergence of the Seed of Genes inevitably enhances the organizational strength of the human race, which directly leads to an increasingly pronounced trend of alien races targeting the human race on the battlefields beyond the borders.

Especially when all the alien races secretly bought back the gene seed and implanted it into their bodies, they discovered that not only did it fail to enhance their genes, it also absorbed the power within their bodies.

The Seed of Genes can only be used by humans!

Many powerful apothecaries, and even the Zerg Queen, have tried to crack the code.

But it still can't be cracked!

The Zerg Queen is a master of gene editing!

How could they know that this was encrypted by Qin Mu using his own insectoid gene ability, and how could it be easily cracked?

Thus, the idea of ​​alien races joining forces to fight against humanity began to emerge.

Of course, this is just a hint; after all, the first generation of gene seeds can only evolve to the second-class bloodline, that is, the cosmic-level bloodline!

Many groups are paying attention to the second and third generation gene seeds that the Virtual Universe Company talks about!

If it only evolves to the cosmic level, and given the extremely low probability of such evolution, it wouldn't pose a significant threat.

The conflicts between different ethnic groups are not so easy to resolve.

But what if Virtual Universe really launches the second and third generation of the Gene Seed!

The situation could suddenly change.

Qin Mu paid no attention to the outside world's disturbances. After telling his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, that he was receiving the inheritance, he notified a few familiar people and then disconnected from the virtual network.

The news of Prince Uka of Manka Star's enhanced bloodline eventually spread, and some people have already noticed the abnormalities in his body.

Considering the rapid improvement of Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, and others, some people would naturally think of Qin Mu.

There was no way around it; these three entered the Blood Luo World with Qin Mu, and their outbursts after they came out were bound to arouse suspicion.

Especially with the emergence of Uka!

In their quest to find the creator of the Gene Seed, numerous alien races have launched continuous attacks on humanity's top pharmacists.

One of the top pharmacists was even attacked by a Venerable-level expert!

After ruling out all possibilities, Qin Mu became increasingly suspicious!

To ensure that nothing unexpected happened to his hometown, Qin Mu had no choice but to ask the Chaos City Lord for help. He arranged for a powerful expert to go to the Milky Way to ensure that the nascent Chinese civilization would not suffer a devastating blow.

Although resources are plentiful, time is too short; China's strongest force is currently only at the cosmic level.

The Lord of Chaos City understood this principle and arranged for a Venerable-level expert to guard the city.

Teacher Yu Chen, who was also listed as a suspect, was directly transferred to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company because of Qin Mu.

This made Qin Mu even more suspicious!

So every day, countless people send emails to Qin Mu, requesting to speak with him...

Who wouldn't want to increase their genetic potential?

So Qin Mu simply stopped logging into the virtual universe and focused on his cultivation.

As Qin Mu acquired the inheritance, the insect swarm continued to expand.

Furthermore, because the swarm discovered a passage to another layer of the abyss, the massive influx of swarms nearly brought down the other layer of the abyss, resulting in an exceptionally terrifying number of swarms.

Qin Mu originally planned to send the swarm into the most brutal abyss for a bloody battle, but he has temporarily stopped this operation.

Compared to combat, inheritance is more important. Besides, even without entering the Abyss Bloodbath Insect Swarm, one is constantly in battle, and the speed of evolution and mutation is not slow.

Inside the Tower of the Abyss.

While enduring the impact of a powerful will, Qin Mu is receiving the inheritance.

With each level you ascend, the demands on your soul and body increase.

In terms of the soul, it's a clash of wills!

From a physical perspective, it's a matter of genetic requirements!

Those unable to withstand the arcane transformation will naturally be expelled from the Tower of the Abyss!

Upon reaching the hundredth floor, the willpower impact reached the immortal level.

In terms of genetic multiplication factor, Qin Mu's body had already reached 15 times the required factor when he was in the Blood Luo World, which easily met the requirements.

At this moment, Qin Mu's mental energy amplitude did not change much; his foundation was too strong.

However, the force amplitude reached 300!

When Qin Mu stepped onto the thousandth floor, his willpower surged to the level of a Marquis!

With the support of the swarm's will, Qin Mu was able to withstand the powerful impact of this will.

Fifteen times the gene strength—many king-level powerhouses don't even reach this level, yet there's no problem with that either.

"You who have come to receive the inheritance have already received one-tenth of the 'Abyss Inheritance'!"

The Abyss Inheritance has four stages, with the first stage being the first three thousand layers.

Successfully completing the first stage will grant you the title of 'Demon Lord,' along with the privileges and rewards associated with that title!

"Inheritor! Keep going! Reach the highest level, and you will have complete control over the entire Abyss of Purgatory!"

"Permissions?"

Qin Mu was a little puzzled. He could understand the reward, but what was the use of the authority?

Could it be that it can control some of the demons?

Just like when fighting against a swarm of insects, that demon leader has the ability to command other demons.

But if that's all there is to it, it won't do me any good at all!

Not only for oneself, but unless one is a demon and intends to stay in the abyss of purgatory for life, it's of no use, right?

As for obtaining the complete inheritance, Qin Mu wasn't confident. He was still too weak, not even at the World Lord level, so it was basically impossible for him to reach the end.

Filled with doubt, Qin Mu continued to receive the inheritance, ascending step by step.

As Qin Mu expected, when he reached the 2000th floor, his willpower had already reached the King level!

With the swarm's will intact, Qin Mu could still withstand the strong impact of this level of will.

However, genetically, they are already feeling the strain.

At this moment, Qin Mu's psychic power amplitude had reached 4000!

The force amplitude has also reached 2000!

Upon reaching this point, Qin Mu could clearly feel the pressure on his body!

A 15-fold increase in gene density is already becoming too much for them to handle at this level of modification.

Qin Mu's expression turned somewhat serious.

This inheritance is terrifyingly strong, and it's only two thousand levels!

Going further ahead, wouldn't that require a cosmic venerable one?

What are the requirements for reaching 10,000 floors?

Cosmic Overlord?

Or perhaps at the level of a cosmic ruler!

Although Qin Mu's gene multiplier can still increase dramatically after activating the power of Blood Luo.

However, the cultivation of this secret technique only targets the physical constitution itself; it becomes impossible to cultivate after activating the power of Bloodlust.

"There are solutions. I originally planned to wait until the swarm reached the level of a world lord before carrying out the genetic modification on my body, but I didn't expect it to have to be done earlier."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

His research on the perfect divine body project was in preparation for his future divine body!

The first stage of the perfect divine body, also known as the Hive Tyrant, had already reached 86 times the normal level before Qin Mu received the inheritance!

Upon acquiring the twelve peak-level bloodline behemoths, the second phase of research into the perfect divine body also began simultaneously.

The initial requirement for the second stage of the perfect divine body is naturally to fuse Qin Mu's genes with the excellent genes of twelve peak bloodline behemoths!

Although ten years have passed, the research has not gone smoothly.

How easy is it to fuse so many top-tier bloodlines and superior genes at once?

This is too difficult!

Not a single experimental subject survived.

Qin Mu estimated that it would be difficult to achieve any results within a hundred years.

However, there is good news: after obtaining tens of thousands of Abyss Crystals, Qin Mu has successfully increased the gene multiplier of the first stage of the Divine Body to 100!

To go from 86x to 100x, each upgrade only requires 10 Abyss Crystals.

However, once the gene multiplier reaches 100, the effect of Abyss Crystals decreases significantly, requiring at least 100 crystals to achieve a 1x increase!

After discovering this problem, Qin Mu decisively stopped using Abyss Crystals to forcibly enhance his abilities.

"Let's begin!"

Qin Mu's eyes were calm, yet also held a hint of passion.

That's right!

He's going to modify his body, transforming himself directly into the form of a Zergling Tyrant!

A hive tyrant that is thousands of meters tall, with golden horns on its head, golden wings on its back, and a thick tail!

The limitations of the human body are too great!

The Insect Hive Tyrant, which combines the bloodlines of five peak beasts—Golden Horned Beast, Flame Star Beast, Hillside Beast, Ice Mountain Beast, and Destroyer Beast—is far more powerful.

To become stronger!

Qin Mu has decided to give up being human!

Having made his decision, a primordial core appeared on the chest area of ​​Qin Mu's battle suit.

This was none other than the original core of the strongest peak-level world lord-level golden-horned behemoth in the swarm.

Before beginning the inheritance process, how could Qin Mu not make complete preparations?

If this inheritance were of the combat type, Qin Mu planned to release the Golden Horned Beast directly to fight, while his own body would obediently hide in the original core.

However, since this inheritance was a secret method, Qin Mu ultimately decided to let his true self receive it.

After releasing an experimental clone to stay in the Tower of Abyss in his place and confirming that there were no problems and that he would not be expelled in a short time, Qin Mu decisively entered the flesh and blood chamber inside a mother nest in the Primal Core World!

With a hint of anticipation, Qin Mu lay down inside.

One by one, fleshy tentacles pierced into Qin Mu's body, and a dark green liquid rose up, immersing Qin Mu in it.

The wisps of energy flowed through my pores and into my body, bringing unparalleled comfort wherever they went, as if all the fatigue from ten years of training had vanished.

Qin Mu closed his eyes, his consciousness entered the mother nest, and began to modify his body.

"Hahaha, once the modifications are complete, the Zerg swarm will be almost at the World Lord level!"

"Let me see how far I can go in this legacy!"

This chapter is a little late; I was experiencing some writer's block. Today is May 1st, which is also my birthday. On this occasion, I hope everyone can vote with their guaranteed monthly tickets! Thank you!
