Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 258 The Chaos City Lord's Astonishment Once Again

In the beginning, just like in the past, spatial rifts could be seen everywhere in the sky, with crystalline threads flowing through the rift openings, trying to repair them.

Repairing again and again, cracking again and again, an endless cycle...

Inside the Venerable Guiyi's spaceship, Qin Mu looked at the familiar scene with a sense of nostalgia.

"Rumble~~~"

The spaceship hovered above Chaos City, the hatch opened, and Qin Mu and Venerable Guiyi flew out, but they didn't attract much attention.

Most people are racing against time to grasp the intricacies of the rules and have no time to pay attention to the outside world.

Occasionally, someone would spot Qin Mu, but they would only glance at him before continuing their cultivation.

Although there are rumors that Qin Mu may be the creator of the Seed of Genes, there are too many similar rumors, and he is just a junior at the cosmic level, so almost no one believes it.

How could a cosmic-level pharmacist possibly understand the bloodline of a domain lord or even stronger?

He himself hasn't reached that level!

How long has he been practicing?

No matter how talented someone is, they still need time to mature; that doesn't make sense.

Venerable Guiyi landed on the wide street and looked around. In the distance, on the rooftops of cultivation residences, one could see ascetic practitioners sitting cross-legged in meditation. Realm lords and immortal gods were everywhere, and of course, the vast majority of them were immortal gods.

This trip to Chaos City is not only to meet the Chaos City Lord and learn "Bloodline Evolution" from him, but also for cultivation.

Over the years of receiving this knowledge, Qin Mu has only superficially memorized many things and hasn't fully understood them.

Moreover, the newly acquired Blood of the Abyss inheritance also needs time to be digested.

I've almost fully understood the two volumes of "The True Understanding of the Universe" that my teacher taught me.

If one cultivates for a period of time in accordance with the Cosmic Chaos Stele, one's strength will inevitably see a significant improvement.

The Cosmic Chaos Monument has nine diagrams, and the seventh diagram is the most important for understanding the laws of space and the fundamental laws of time.

Once you've mastered the seventh diagram, you can achieve spatial sealing, teleportation, and time freezing without needing the talent of a peak-level bloodline beast.

Therefore, although Qin Mu planned to go on a training trip, he also needed to spend some time in Chaos City to digest the power he had acquired and improve his strength before going.

"Junior brother, let's go find our teacher first, and then you can find a room to cultivate in."

Seeing Qin Mu observing his surroundings, Venerable Guiyi smiled.

"Okay, let's see the teacher first!"

Qin Mu nodded.

The two entered the city lord's mansion with ease and went to pay their respects to the Chaos City Lord.

Boom!

As time and space shifted, Qin Mu and Venerable Guiyi stepped into the courtyard of the inner palace of Chaos City and felt as if the stars had shifted, instantly entering a vast and desolate world.

On the endless land, corpses were everywhere. Some were as large as planets, while others were smaller than humans. Yet each corpse exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.

Qin Mu and Venerable Guiyi walked on this vast, seemingly endless wasteland.

"Even with my current strength, the aura emanating from these corpses is terrifying. I estimate they're at least at the level of a Universe Venerable, right?"

Qin Mu thought to himself.

A thought once popped into my head: shouldn't the power of a Zerg Lord be able to analyze these corpses?

After achieving immortality, although the body transforms into a divine body, the gene multiplier can still be increased.

Given the capabilities of the swarm, it should still be able to analyze the data normally.

As the two walked, they soon saw a tall, robust man, about three meters tall, standing not far away.

Just seeing the tall man was like seeing the endless laws of the universe.

The vast and boundless laws of the universe constantly emanated an aura of slaughter.

"Teacher!" x2

Both Venerable Guiyi and Qin Mu spoke respectfully at the same time.

"Hmm, very good!"

"Over the years, you have given me many surprises. The entire human race has benefited from your gene seed."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu just chuckled.

"It's all thanks to the teachers' guidance."

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head. Apart from providing some resources, he didn't give Qin Mu much guidance.

"You've been in the Abyss of Purgatory for 80 years. Which level have you reached?"

"The Lord of Chaos asked."

Qin Mu replied respectfully.

"6000 floors."

The Chaos City Lord's pupils suddenly contracted. 6000 floors?

How is that possible?!

This inheritance is public knowledge among the higher levels of humanity, and obtaining it is relatively simple.

However, the requirements are extremely high; generally, only immortals can receive the inheritance.

Furthermore, there's a threshold of 3,000 levels in the inheritance system. Reaching 6000 levels is something almost only a cosmic overlord can achieve!

Whether it's genetic diversity or willpower, one must reach the level of a cosmic overlord to have a chance to reach the 6000th level!

Qin Mu has only just reached the Realm Lord level, right?

Just being a realm lord doesn't mean you have the genetic multiplier and willpower of a cosmic overlord.

If Qin Mu is someone who has gone through trials and tribulations to reach the pinnacle and has had countless extraordinary encounters, then there are certainly other prodigies like him among the human race.

But Qin Mu has only just reached the Realm Lord level, right?

There wasn't much training involved; I only went to the Blood Luo World and the Purgatory Abyss, two mission worlds. How did I manage to do that?

After hearing Qin Mu's words, even Venerable Guiyi, who was secretly protecting Qin Mu, widened his eyes in disbelief.

The inheritance of the Tower of the Abyss itself is not dangerous, and it is isolated from the outside world. Even Venerable Guiyi is unaware of the specifics.

Because the time it takes for different people to receive the inheritance is different, and the body will be transformed during the inheritance, some people are talented and the transformation is fast, while others are slow.

In eighty years, according to their guess, Qin Mu may have reached around four or five thousand layers, which is already the level of Venerable in terms of will and body. Reaching this level at the World Lord level is already very amazing.

But to everyone's surprise, Qin Mu actually reached the 6,000th floor.

"I was about at my limit when I reached around the 3,000th floor."

In order to receive the inheritance, I made some modifications to my body and broke through to the World Lord level, which can be considered a shortcut.

Seeing that the Chaos City Lord teacher looked puzzled, Qin Mu touched his nose.

"Take shortcuts? Is there really a shortcut to passing on this tradition?"

The Lord of Chaos City was somewhat puzzled. As far as he knew, this inheritance required a powerful body and will, and there were no shortcuts.

"Teacher, you'll understand once you see it."

Qin Mu said with a smile, dispelling the innate transformation technique.

In an instant, his body became enormous, reaching the sky with his head and standing on the ground, transforming into a colossal creature five kilometers tall.

This enormous creature had a humanoid body, covered in thick scales. It had a single dark golden horn on its head, a pair of golden wings that fluttered slowly behind it, and a thick tail that swayed behind it.

"The inheritance of the Tower of Abyss is indeed very difficult. My body couldn't take it before I even reached the 3,000th floor."

So I modified my body, and having a body with a hundred times the genetic potential made it much easier for me to take on the test.

The enormous body of Qin Mu, transformed into the tyrant of the insect hive, emitted a thunderous sound.

After saying that, Qin Mu's body shrank rapidly again until it became a human body that was just over 1.8 meters tall.

The Lord of Chaos City was also somewhat stunned for a moment.

Listen to what this is saying?

Because passing on the tradition is too difficult, he modified his body?

100 times the gene!

This must be the limit of the laws of the universe!

Beyond that, only special life forms can achieve it.

If it were just a hundredfold increase in genes, he wouldn't be too surprised, because as long as one is willing to invest resources, achieving a hundredfold increase in genes is still achievable.

As for his gigantic body, he wasn't too surprised because of the battle form of the Gene Seed.

However, Qin Mu's transformation technique surprised him.

"Is this the talent transformation technique of an iceberg behemoth? You've successfully transplanted the talent of a peak-level bloodline behemoth into your own body?"

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

When Qin Mu entered the initial universe, he had actually sensed the abnormality in Qin Mu's body, but he did not expect Qin Mu to give such a big surprise.

"Yes, that's right."

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

He was going to venture into the outer battlefields of the Chaos Realm and clash with various races, so of course he needed to let the Lord of Chaos City know about his abilities.

Neither the transformation technique nor the Hive Tyrant's body is something that needs to be kept secret.

"Can this also grant talents to other people? Even the ability to create clones?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, the Lord of Chaos City pressed for further information.

If the ability to create clones could be widely popularized among the human race, that would truly be defying the heavens.

"It will take some time to bestow talents upon others, but it's only a matter of time. The clone talent isn't suitable yet; it's too complex. I haven't truly grasped the principles behind the clone talent."

Qin Mu nodded first, then shook his head.

In fact, with his current genetic technology, it's possible to increase a person's genetic makeup by about tenfold. Based on that, it's also possible to bestow upon someone with slightly less talent.

However, he would need to be extremely familiar with that person's genes to do so.

There are very few that meet the criteria in the entire swarm's gene pool.

As for the ability to create clones, that's something I can't do yet.

"It's just a matter of time!"

The Lord of Chaos City took a deep breath. If it's just a matter of time, then it's nothing at all!

What Qin Mu said at the high-level meeting is actually being realized step by step, which makes even the Lord of Chaos City somewhat excited.

This isn't just about the improvement of one or two people!

It's about the improvement of the entire ethnic group!

Now that Qin Mu can solidify and transform his own body, how far away is it for him to teach others?

Now that we have the Transformation Technique, is there hope for the Clone Technique as well?

If everyone had the ability to create clones, what would other races use to fight against humans?!

"Just tell me what resources you need!"

The Lord of Chaos City steadied himself and said in a deep voice.

He can't offer much else, except perhaps resources.

"Teacher, I do need some resources! It's not anything else, but my human race's genes are still a bit weak and cannot support the genes of powerful star beasts."

At the Domain Lord level, it was already out of control, so I set up a combat state for humans as a buffer.

However, once one reaches the level of a World Lord, it becomes even more unbearable.

Therefore, the World Lord-level gene seed has not yet been researched. I know that the Flame God Clan has extremely strong physical talent, which may be of some help to me.

Qin Mu didn't stand on ceremony and said directly.

If I were to collect them myself, I don't know how long it would take, so of course I should just ask the teacher.

"The Flame God Clan? Their bodies are indeed extremely powerful!"

Let me check the clan's treasury; if not, I'll send someone to capture it!

The Lord of Chaos City nodded in agreement without hesitation. Since it concerned the human race, the best test subjects were naturally needed.

Let alone the mere Yan Shen clan, he would capture even special lives.

The Flame God Clan, a branch of humanity that betrayed the human race, now stands alone.

The warriors of this tribe are all tall and robust, with the shortest being eight meters tall and the tallest being ten meters tall. Their skin is covered with scales, and they have a curved horn between their eyebrows.

Its hands and feet are similar to those of an Earthling, only larger, and the back of its hands is covered with scales.

In the universe, they now belong to a powerful race.

But that's all. If it weren't for the fear of the powerful alien figure behind the Yan God Clan, Zuo Shan Ke, the human race would have wiped him out long ago.

"You chose the Transformation skill, probably so you can go out and gain experience in the future."

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

"Yes, teacher."

Qin Mu didn't hide anything and readily admitted it.

"However, it won't be that quick. I need to reflect on my acquisition of the Abyss's legacy for a while."

"Also, teacher, this is a secret formula for bloodline potions that I have compiled, titled 'Evolution of Flesh and Blood.'"

This is the bloodline secret technique that Master Yu Chen passed down to me. Originally, it only had four levels, which could be used to make bloodline potions of the Domain Lord level.

I made some modifications to it and perfected the fifth level, which can be used to create World Lord-level bloodline potions.

Qin Mu paused here, took out a metal book from his inner world and handed it over, then continued.

"After the modification, the production of Domain Lord-level bloodline potions no longer requires hunting down human powerhouses; only the essence blood of some powerful bloodline star beasts is needed."

With a powerful bloodline star beast, even a top-tier pharmacist can create a bloodline potion of the domain lord level.

To create a World Lord-level bloodline potion, one would need a Starry Sky Beast with a peak bloodline.

In the past, although humans had Domain Lord-level bloodline potions, they could not be considered true bloodline potions.

For example, to create a Manka Starman Domain Lord-level bloodline potion, you need to hunt down at least five or six Manka Starmen and extract their bloodline essence.

This would naturally be suppressed by powerful races, which is why lord-level bloodline potions were extremely rare among human races in the past.

When Teacher Chen gave Qin Mu the bloodline potion, he specifically emphasized that he should not reveal it to others, otherwise it would cause trouble.

"The secret method of Bloodline Evolution?"

The Lord of Chaos City felt another tremor in his heart; this disciple had truly given him another pleasant surprise.

Qin Mu knew that he needed to work with insect swarms to create the World Lord bloodline potion.

But now that a complete secret technique exists, it means that there is no longer a need to rely on the insect swarm, and it can be taught to others.

During this period, although the other universe lords and other high-ranking human leaders did not openly ask him for the method of obtaining the World Lord-level bloodline potion, they made quite a few attempts to probe him in secret.

Given Qin Mu's consumption of resources, which amounts to hundreds of billions of Hunyuan every year, if he were to take the corpses from the garbage star field with him, he would devour at least three to five hundred billion Hunyuan every year!

Every two or three decades is a precious opportunity.

In other words, Qin Mu has used up at least several precious treasures over the years.

This amount of resources is alright, not too much, but if it continues for thousands or tens of thousands of years, it will be extremely exaggerated.

Therefore, after some time, they will definitely ask for the method of obtaining the World Lord-level bloodline potion. After all, this involves a real investment of resources, so of course they should enjoy the right to share the technology.

The Lord of Chaos City originally planned to discuss this in a few hundred years, but unexpectedly, Qin Mu brought it up on his own initiative.

Moreover, only a little bit of the essence blood of a star beast is needed to make Domain Lord-level and World Lord-level bloodline potions, which is quite cost-effective.

As for whether it will offend the Starry Sky Beast Alliance?

What does it matter!

The Starry Sky Beast Alliance itself doesn't care about its members below the Immortal level.

During this time, the old beast god, who was also eyeing the human race's methods for enhancing their bloodline, had already come to him for help.

And this relates to Qin Mu!

Qin Mu is only at the Realm Lord level, yet he can influence the most powerful forces in the universe.

This made the Lord of Chaos City secretly admire and feel a sense of pride.

"Qin Mu, the human race will never forget your contributions!"

The Lord of Chaos praised.

Send it first, then correct the typos.
