Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 263 Upgrade! The Third Generation Gene Seed

"Teacher, I have successfully developed the third generation of gene seeds."

In the virtual universe, inside the Thunder Island Temple, Qin Mu wore a smile.

"Hahaha! You succeeded so quickly."

A look of surprise appeared on the dignified face of the Chaos City Lord.

A gene seed of the World Lord level!

Although Qin Mu has researched and developed a World Lord-level bloodline and is secretly using it among the human race, it is ultimately only available to a select few.

The genes are different, and can be used by the entire human race.

The emergence of the Domain Lord-level Gene Seed has greatly enhanced humanity's foundation.

A more powerful World Lord-level gene seed could very well change the landscape of humanity as a whole, and even the fate of billions of races in the primordial universe!

"Yes, the fact that we were able to succeed so quickly is largely due to the powerful talent of the Yan God Clan."

"We've probably underestimated the Flame God Clan in the past; their physical talent is absolutely top-tier among our human race."

Qin Mu said.

"With the optimization of the Yan God Clan bloodline, the third-generation gene seed can not only evolve into a World Lord-level bloodline, but also possess the fighting posture of a peak bloodline star beast."

One can possess a combat form when they have a cosmic-level bloodline.

Furthermore, the chance of evolution for those with bloodlines below the Domain Lord level has also increased significantly, from one in a thousand to about five in a thousand.

Unfortunately, these mass-produced gene seeds still could not support the talents of the star behemoth.

Therefore, my planned research direction for the fourth generation of gene seeds is to bestow talent!

The smile on the face of the Chaos City Lord grew even wider.

The third generation of gene seed has only just emerged, and Qin Mu is already planning the fourth generation!

Possessing the talents of a cosmic behemoth!

In combat form, coupled with the talents of a Starry Sky Beast, what difference is there between him and a Starry Sky Beast?

When that day comes, as long as the human race develops for hundreds of millions of years, what are other races?

How many real cosmic behemoths are there in the universe?

It's less than one billionth of the human population!

Even so, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance is one of the nine most powerful forces in the original universe.

It's because of their powerful talents!

Given the sheer number of humankind, coupled with the talents of the cosmic behemoths, the scene would be utterly terrifying.

"Don't be too hasty. A World Lord-level bloodline is already enough to transform the human race! While conducting research, don't neglect your own cultivation."

Although the Lord of Chaos City was extremely pleased, he still gave a warning.

"Don't worry, Master, I won't fall behind in my cultivation. In these ten years of practicing 'Nine Revolutions of the Star River,' I have already grasped the first mystery of the spatial laws—sealing!"

Qin Mu smiled.

For him, research is the best form of spiritual practice; it not only does not hinder his practice but actually accelerates it!

This is the first and only law he has mastered so far.

He was able to experience and even directly study the laws and patterns that sealed the mysteries every day. Coupled with the Cosmic Chaos Stele and the special environment in the primordial universe, he mastered this mystery at an extremely fast pace.

Of course, such good fortune doesn't last. There's no such talent in the strangulation or teleportation swarms within the laws of space.

Without the corresponding talent, the time and effort required to master these two mysteries would probably increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.

The Lord of Chaos City was momentarily stunned.

How long has it been?

He actually mastered the secrets of a spatial law?

Although this is the simplest of the three great mysteries of space.

But this is something that only those who have been granted a high-ranking title can master!

Qin Mu was already very surprised that he was able to gain the recognition of the Ten Fundamental Laws, but only now did he realize that he had underestimated Qin Mu's talent.

"Great! Excellent!"

After realizing what was happening, the Chaos City Lord laughed and said that the stronger his disciple's talent was, the happier he would be!

"I'll give the teacher a batch of third-generation gene seeds first, and you can see the effects. Large-scale sales will be possible in another month."

Qin Mu smiled.

There are tens of thousands of Lord-level mother nests in the swarm, but only a few thousand Starry Sky Beasts with peak bloodlines. The reason is that most of these mother nests are used to produce gene seeds.

Once the swarm reaches the level of a world overlord, the size of the mother nest further expands, and it also develops an internal world.

The internal world, with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, is a vast incubator.

Given enough resources, its incubation capacity is terrifyingly strong.

Even the genetic seed that supplies the entire human race can be easily hatched by the swarm of insects.

"Alright! I'll go discuss this with the other high-ranking humans right away. The appearance of a World Lord-level gene seed will have a huge impact on billions of races throughout the primordial universe, and we need to be careful in dealing with it."

"Let's announce the matter of the World Lord-level bloodline all at once! Billions of people in our human race have already used World Lord-level bloodline potions; it's time for them to get some experience on the battlefield!"

"Because of the emergence of the second-generation gene seed, those alien races have already shown a tendency to unite against our human race. Once the third-generation gene seed appears, they will definitely go crazy."

But what do we humans have to fear!

The Lord of Chaos City laughed loudly.

Hundreds of billions of humans who have used the bloodline of a World Lord!

Even without cultivation, you can become a realm lord just by eating and drinking!

Many of these people became immortal.

What will happen when they appear on the battlefield?

Keep in mind that the number of world lords in a human universe kingdom is only a few million!

Even if you add up all the realm lords in the 1008 advanced human universe kingdoms, it wouldn't amount to more than 10 billion!

Including the humans in the secret realms, the total number of all realm lords in the God Kingdom is only around a hundred billion.

The sudden appearance of hundreds of billions of humans using World Lord-level bloodlines greatly enhances the advancement of humanity towards the World Lord stage.

Moreover, this number is increasing at an astonishing rate.

With their addition to the battlefield and the third-generation gene seed, humanity's core strength will rapidly increase!

"A large-scale interstellar war? It's time for my Zerg swarm to contend in the outer battlefields."

Qin Mu smiled too.

His ten Zerg legions were already starving!

Located in the chaotic star field, that insect hive fortress spanning tens of thousands of kilometers should be taken out.

Qin Mu had already sensed the approaching large-scale war!

……

After reporting to Teacher Chaos City Lord, Qin Mu contacted Teacher Yu Chen. The matter of the World Lord-level bloodline had been exposed, so of course he had to inform him in advance.

Over the past ten years, Teacher Yu Chen has mastered the manufacture of World Lord-level bloodline potions.

Yu Chen was a top-notch pharmacist with in-depth knowledge of bloodlines.

In addition, since he created "Bloodline Evolution" and had many conjectures about the bloodline of the World Lord level, after Qin Mu broke through that window, his research on bloodlines can be said to have made rapid progress.

"Haha, I understand. From now on, I'll stay in Chaos City and not leave. My permissions at the Virtual Universe Company have increased significantly during this time, and my research resources are more than a hundred times greater than before!"

Perhaps it won't be long before I reach the rank of Marquis.

Yu Chen laughed loudly.

These past ten years have been arguably the most comfortable ten years of his life.

For a top-tier pharmacist, what could be more comfortable than having all the resources they need readily available?

When you get tired of research, you can also cultivate and comprehend the fundamental rules of the universe in Chaos City.

If he could, he would love to stay here forever.

What does it matter if we are targeted by a foreign race?

If you're so capable, go to Chaos City and kill him!

……

After communicating with both teachers, Qin Mu then contacted Luo Feng.

After Luo Feng and the other Golden Horned Beasts broke through to the Realm Lord level, they accepted the mission from the Purgatory Abyss. After staying in the Purgatory Abyss for three years, they successfully completed the mission and reaped a large amount of resources.

I've been cultivating in the primeval realm for the past two years, while waiting for Qin Mu to complete his research.

Compared to a few years, increasing the gene count is definitely more important.

However, the two also agreed that if Qin Mu's research was still unsuccessful after another ten years, Luo Feng would first break through to the Domain Lord level to carry out the mission.

Although Qin Mu had secretly placed a mother nest on Earth, which could have allowed Luo Feng to return directly.

The same applies to completing genetic transformation on Earth, but considering that he doesn't know when the Virtual Universe Company will release the mission after he leaves, Luo Feng decided to wait a few years.

After all, it's impossible to stay on Earth indefinitely when carrying out a mission.

Carrying out missions is dangerous!

Since there is danger, it is only natural to improve one's strength as much as possible before carrying out the mission.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting; Luo Feng certainly understood this principle.

"Luo Feng, go directly to my manor in the Primal Secret Realm. I'll help you improve there."

"As for Hong and Thor, it will take some time for you two to improve. The Time Stop talent of the Destroyer Beast is too strong, and I haven't fully mastered it yet."

In a private room of a restaurant in the public area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain in the virtual universe, Qin Mu smiled.

Before him stood Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, who had come as agreed.

"Okay, I'm off right now!"

Luo Feng's face lit up with joy.

Both of them were members of the Primal Secret Realm, and they were not too far apart. They could arrive quickly by spaceship.

A spatial sealing talent!

With this talent, wouldn't one directly comprehend one of the three great spatial mysteries?

Although Qin Mu showed him dozens of other talents, just as Qin Mu had thought, Luo Feng chose the Space Lockdown talent without hesitation.

With his gene multiplier increased tenfold, coupled with his spatial sealing talent, Luo Feng even suspected that his human body's spatial talent could surpass that of his Demon Slayer Clan clone.

With this talent, becoming an immortal is equivalent to being half a king-level expert.

This made Luo Feng somewhat regret choosing the Demon Slayer Clan clone, as the clone's help to him was becoming increasingly weak.

Furthermore, because the Demon Slayer race are energy beings, they cannot increase their gene multiplier.

"We're not in a hurry. At the cosmic level, we'll need to stay there for at least several decades, or even a hundred years, before we can break through."

Thor laughed.

"Haha, I'm waiting for the time-stopping talent!"

It is said that stopping time is the most difficult of the three great mysteries of time, equivalent to teleportation in the mystery of space!

"If someone at the cosmic level possesses the ability to stop time, wouldn't they be invincible?"

Hong nodded.

"Our strength is sufficient at the cosmic level, there's no need to rush."

With their physical talents, which are 60 times stronger than those of the genes, plus the advantages of secret techniques and weapons, killing ordinary domain lords is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. Unless they do something stupid, they will hardly pose any threat.

After making their arrangements, the group logged off and left the virtual universe.

The process of boosting Luo Feng's gene count went smoothly, directly increasing it to tenfold as expected, and he also successfully acquired the spatial sealing talent.

As Qin Mu watched Luo Feng board the spaceship and disappear into the distance, a smile appeared on his lips.

If Luo Feng could obtain the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" as he did in the original timeline, the triple boost from the first tribulation would reach 30 times the genetic potential!

Activating the power of Bloodlust can even increase gene output by 300 times!

It's significantly stronger than in the original timeline.

Based on this, Qin Mu will study Luo Feng's genes further. To what extent can the insect swarm be improved?

"Perhaps, my second stage of perfect divine body will fall into Luo Feng's hands."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

In recent years, the experiment of fusing twelve peak bloodline star beasts has made considerable progress, but it is still far from being truly successful.

"Luo Feng, a star-gazing behemoth of peak bloodline, a member of the Yan God Clan, who cultivates the 'Ninth-Order Secret Manual'!"

These three paths represent the current directions for increasing gene multiplication rates!

"The research on the Starry Sky Beast has reached a bottleneck and is nearing its limit."

After all, it's only a tenfold genetically modified organism. Once the research on the second stage of the perfect divine body is completed, it will fall behind the evolution of the insect swarm.

Qin Mu pondered this in his heart.

As for whether Luo Feng would give it to him to study? Given Luo Feng's character and personality, the possibility of him refusing is almost non-existent.

"Unfortunately, I failed in my attempt to analyze the blood of the Beast God. Even with ten thousand World Lord-level Mother Nests, I still couldn't analyze the life structure of the Golden Beast God."

Perhaps I should try collecting the blood scales of the acquired beast god, or some special life forms as a transitional item!

After the insect swarm reached the level of a world lord, Qin Mu tried to analyze the blood of the Golden Beast God.

Unsurprisingly, it was another failure.

Just like when it was at the Domain Lord level, the mother nest was instantly overloaded and almost collapsed.

The Beast God is a cosmic master who is at his peak from birth!

The difference in strength is too great to analyze.

Qin Mu will not easily give up on the storyline of the Starry Sky Beasts, especially when there are no alternatives yet.
