Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 265 The Approaching Tribal War

Unaware of the outside world's turmoil, Qin Mu informed the Lord of Chaos City of the success of the third-generation gene seed. After helping Luo Feng adjust his bloodline genes, Qin Mu devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

While cultivating, Qin Mu also began to actively prepare for battle.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire is embroiled in a chaotic space storm.

A flesh-and-blood planet with a diameter of approximately 15,000 kilometers floats.

This is the largest Zerg unit – the Hive Fortress!

The transformation of the Zerg hive fortress has been ongoing for nearly two centuries, evolving from its initial form as planetary debris to its later transformation into flesh and blood, undergoing more than one metamorphosis.

Especially when the Zerg swarm acquired the twelve peak-bloodline Starry Sky Beasts, a new round of modifications to the Zerg Hive Fortress began.

The insect hive fortress's carapace-like surface is covered with dense patterns.

These patterns encompass all the peak bloodline star beasts, as well as eight powerful bloodline star beasts, the Demon Slayer Clan, the Rock Giants, the Metal Lifeforms, and other powerful creatures.

Although there were many instances of gene collapse and dissolution during the modification process, Qin Mu adopted a modular design, so a problem in one part would not affect the whole.

Once a region experiences genetic breakdown and dissolution, that section is cut off and discarded.

Numerous modifications have greatly enhanced the war potential of this Zerg hive fortress.

"Over the years, the swarm has acquired enough resources and absorbed the biological spaceship technology and the flight and teleportation methods of the peak bloodline star behemoths."

The Zerg hive fortress can finally move quickly and traverse into the dark universe!

Biological spacecraft are actually a fairly common type of spacecraft in the universe.

However, it is only popular among certain races such as the demon race. As for humans and mechanical races, they mainly use alloy spaceships and metal spaceships.

Qin Mu purchased a batch of top-of-the-line biological spaceships for disassembly and research, and after thoroughly understanding the technology, he integrated it into the insect hive fortress.

"The war between humans and the Zerg, the demons, and the machine races in the outer battlefield is becoming increasingly fierce."

It's time for the Zerg Fortress to be put to the test in actual combat.

Qin Mu's consciousness descended into this enormous biological structure.

The layout of the Zerg hive fortress is not much different from the past; it is still a honeycomb structure.

However, this hive structure has ten additional caves, each about 500 kilometers in diameter, large enough for the hive mothership to dock or even drive directly into.

At this moment, countless Zerg units are pouring into the Zerg hive fortress from the space storm like swallows returning to their nests.

A two-headed monster, about 100 kilometers long, flew out from the edge of the spatial storm. The fleshy carapace on the insect hive fortress shifted and changed, revealing a passage, which the two-headed monster skillfully slipped into.

One of the two heads of the monster is a golden-horned behemoth, while the other head is a fiery star behemoth.

Its body belongs to the Golden Horned Beast, resembling an enormous lion, but it has two pairs of wings on its back.

One of the pairs of fiery red wings clearly belonged to the Flame Star Beast.

This is one of the results of Qin Mu's many studies: the fusion of star beasts.

Unlike the Perfect Divine Body Project, this is a simple Starry Sky Beast Fusion, which only pursues combat power.

This two-headed star behemoth has a gene multiplier of 30, and its genes have become completely stable, making it a viable main combat unit for the swarm.

"According to the plan, the Zerg hive fortress will serve as a special life form that joins the human race."

And they were sent to the most intense battlegrounds in the outer regions.

Qin Mu's consciousness flowed through the swarm of insects.

Zerg hive fortresses can indeed be disguised as special life forms.

What is a special life form?

These are life forms that cannot reproduce and are born under special conditions in the universe. They are generally about a hundred times larger than human genes, and even the weakest of these special life forms must be ten times larger than human genes.

A very small number of life forms have a genetic level that can exceed 500 times.

It is extremely rare for the difference to exceed 1000 times or even thousands of times.

The more extraordinary something is, the rarer it is; conversely, special life forms with lower genetic makeup are more numerous.

Qin Mu couldn't estimate the gene multiplication rate of the insect hive fortress.

Because it appears to be a huge whole, it can actually be broken down into many modules due to its special modular structure.

The largest of these is, of course, a module composed of twelve peak-bloodline star beasts.

In addition, as the only hive fortress in the swarm, it also has a significant experimental nature.

Each of these modules, taken individually, contains tens or even hundreds of times more genes.

The highest part of it is even stronger than the Hive Tyrant, exceeding 6000 times!

Qin Mu once obtained over 100 million Blood Crystals from the Immortal Temple, and a significant portion of them were used here.

If we consider it as a whole, Qin Mu felt that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to regard it as a life form with a thousand times the genetic potential.

There are many special life forms in the universe, and many of them are enormous. The most advanced special life forms can reach altitudes of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Of course, the largest life forms are mainly special life forms of 'plants' and 'rocks', with relatively few being flesh-and-blood creatures.

As the strongest fortress Qin Mu built for the Zerg swarm, the Zerg Hive Fortress is truly good at defense!

Its surface, covered in flesh and armor, is etched with the innate patterns of countless creatures.

Once all defensive talents are activated, even a Zergling with 6000 times the genetic power at full strength will have difficulty damaging the Zergling Fortress.

Moreover, once injured, it can quickly repair itself using the energy within its body.

On the battlefield, it will be the swarm's strongest support!

While Qin Mu was pondering, billions of Zerg entered the Zerg Hive Fortress. As a living Zerg entity, the Zerg Hive Fortress naturally had its own internal space.

Because of its modular structure, it has more than one internal space!

After entering the Zerg hive structures, these Zerg units are transported to an inner world.

After all the Zerg units entered the Hive Fortress, thousands of jet-like openings appeared on part of the Hive Fortress's body.

The powerful energy ejected from these nozzles propelled the Zerg hive fortress forward at an ever-increasing speed.

After leaving the space storm in the chaotic star field, the Hive Fortress instantly reached the speed of light, rushing into the dark universe, and then continuously accelerating until it reached twice the speed of light, three times the speed of light...

And its direction of advance was none other than the battlefield outside the region!

……

While Qin Mu was cultivating and preparing for battle.

The secret technique of "Bloodline Evolution" has also spread, and Yu Chen's reputation has instantly spread throughout the entire human race and even to billions of races in the primordial universe.

Lord-level Bloodline Potion!

Many people speculate that the creator of the Seed of Genes is the pharmacist Yu Chen, based on "Bloodline Evolution".

Especially after the official Virtual Universe team did not deny it.

The title of the number one bloodline alchemist of the human race instantly fell upon Yu Chen.

The emergence of the first generation of gene seeds gave hope to countless humans of inferior bloodlines.

The second-generation gene seed enhanced the human foundation.

The third-generation gene seed has truly changed the landscape of humanity and even the original universe!

In particular, the third-generation gene seed has been improved upon the first two generations, making the evolution of lower bloodlines easier.

The entire human race fell into a state of frenzy, and everyone injected themselves with the third-generation gene seed.

Countless people revered Yu Chen as a god, while countless alien races wished they could kill him as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Yu Chen had already arrived in Chaos City, otherwise countless people would have gone crazy for him.

Unfortunately, just as Qin Mu had thought, although the "Bloodline Evolution" technique was taught to humanity's top pharmacists, very few people actually mastered it.

Human pharmacists are indeed very weak in terms of bloodline foundation; it would be difficult to find even one pharmacist among ten thousand world lords.

Bloodline is a niche area for pharmacists.

While poisons could potentially kill immortals, bloodline potions could only reach the level of a domain lord.

To obtain a Domain Lord-level bloodline, one must hunt down Domain Lord clans and extract their essence blood.

In this situation, how many top pharmacists would be willing to put their heart and soul into this?

Those like Yu Chen, who are willing to study the bloodlines of World Lords, are extremely rare.

This has resulted in fewer than ten people in the entire human race being able to quickly master the secret technique of "Bloodline Evolution" despite its guidance!

This was all because of the emergence of the Seed of Genes, which made a large number of pharmacists start to pay attention to the bloodline.

Pharmacists need time to accumulate experience and knowledge!

It's unrealistic to expect quick results.

"Without blocking communication requests, I can receive hundreds of thousands, even millions of communication requests every day."

And these emails—there are so many! It's like people who greeted us a hundred thousand years ago are coming to our door.

Yu Chen Immortal sighed numbly.

As a pharmacist, he used to be quite confident in his network of contacts.

But now I'm having a bit of a headache.

Many of those who contacted him were people he had a good relationship with in the past, and some of them were old friends like Marquis Ziling, Marquis Lava, Marquis Qianren, and Marquis Hongfeng.

He couldn't very well refuse.

Every person who contacted us wanted to buy a World Lord-level bloodline potion.

The price of 20,000 Hunyuan per tube scared off some people, but it was nothing to those who had been granted titles of Marquis or even King.

"I have to repay this favor, what a terrible thing to do!"

Yu Chen covered his face and sighed.

The orders that have accumulated are more than he could ever produce, even if he worked tirelessly for a thousand years.

These people are of different races, so he also needs to make adjustments for different ethnic groups.

Without the aid of the Zerg hive, the time and effort required to produce them one by one is quite astonishing.

But for Yu Chen, these are the most difficult things.

Take your time!

Anyway, he didn't have much to do in Chaos City, so he could just do some things in his spare time between cultivation and research.

As for the assassination bounty offered by outsiders, I don't care who it is!

Anyway, he was safe in Chaos City. In fact, the Virtual Universe Company specifically requested that he enter a residence located next to the Chaos City Lord's Mansion.

Not to mention Chaos City, he's too lazy to even leave his place of residence.

Even with a virtual universe network, you won't get bored.

……

The Lord of Chaos City holds a high position among the human race, so many departments send emails to him to report on various matters.

However, the importance of emails is also graded, and only extremely important emails will be read immediately by the Chaos City Lord.

Otherwise, we would wait until a certain time to watch them all together.

The Shadow Monarch is the head of the intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company and also the head of the intelligence department of the Hongmeng. He is a cosmic overlord.

"City Lord, the appearance of the third-generation gene seed and the World Lord-level bloodline potion has put the Immortal Domain Dust in the eye of the storm."

The Shadow Lord bowed slightly.

"Without a doubt, the three top races—the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Mechanical Race—are panicking, and assassinations are inevitable in the near future… City Lord, how should we respond?"

"Assassination?"

The Lord of Chaos City nodded.

"The demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race have a variety of methods, but since Yu Chen is currently in Chaos City, they have very few methods to use, and they cannot use any other powerful methods."

We can only use some deeply hidden agents for assassination.

This is their only option.

"No need to rush, let them take action themselves! Within Chaos City, no one can kill the person I need to protect!"

"Um."

The Shadow Lord nodded.

The Chaos City in the primordial universe is humanity's last and safest stronghold; even the strongest beings in the universe, possessing supreme treasures, dare not enter it.

Especially with the giant axe present, if someone really comes looking for trouble, the human leadership will be laughing all the way to the bank.

"On the extraterritorial battlefield, the three major races of Zerg, Demon, and Machine, along with their allies, have decided to unite and hunt down humans on the extraterritorial battlefield."

Our side suffered heavy casualties, and some allied races also expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Of course, the allied races mainly want the gene seed.

"The Shadow Lord said."

"We had anticipated their alliance, and heavy casualties were inevitable."

In such an environment, the genes will grow faster.

If they can get through this, they will have the opportunity to become true strongmen.

Let's take some resources from the clan's treasure trove to accelerate their growth!

As for allies, that certainly needs to be considered.

But you want the seed of genes?

It's not that easy! Let's wait until they make enough contributions to humanity.

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head.

"A great battle is about to begin. Although it won't involve the highest levels of combat yet, that's precisely why the battles in the extraterritorial battlefield will be exceptionally bloody!"

It was far more bloody than a tribal war that occurred only once every few millennia!
