Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 274 The Mysteries of the Flame God Clan and the Journey to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield!

"Hahaha, after decades of research, we've finally discovered the secret of the Flame God Clan within the spacetime domain controlled by the Tree of Life!"

Inside his body, in a mother nest beneath the Tree of Life, Qin Mu burst into laughter.

"Just as I guessed, there is some kind of connection between the Yan God Clan and the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual."

Qin Mu watched with delight as the evolved Yan God Clan experimental subject finally emerged after countless experiments.

"Only under the Tree of Life's control over space and time was the energy circuit hidden within the Flame God Clan discovered, and the mystery of the Flame God Clan was finally solved."

The energy circuits hidden within the Flame God Clan have actually formed an extremely obscure, internally circulating model of the universe's operation!

No, it cannot be called a cosmological model.

It is far too crude compared to the inner universe model that appeared when Luo Feng was cultivating the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

It's at most a special field!

It remains a chaotic and extremely inefficient field.

But it was precisely this stimulation from the special realm that caused the life genes of this Flame God Clan to improve at an extremely slow pace.

This improvement is too slow!

If it weren't for the constant monitoring from the Mother Nest and the fact that he wasn't within the spacetime domain of the Tree of Life, Qin Mu wouldn't have been able to detect it.

When Luo Feng first practiced the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, his genes broke through the hundredfold limit, and his gene multiplier increased by one-third, reaching 130 times.

The special domain within this Flame God Clan member is far inferior; even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, it might not be possible to achieve ten times the genetic potential from a Domain Lord-level bloodline.

The two are simply incomparable in terms of efficiency.

But in Qin Mu's view, they were essentially the same!

"The Yan God Clan is a race created by the Mountain Guest in the early stages of the universe's evolution."

They are physically powerful; they are natural-born warriors!

"And the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is recorded in the language of the Flame God Clan. How could the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual not be related to the Flame God Clan?"

Qin Mu whispered.

The leader of the Yan God Clan, the Yan Emperor, possesses a life gene level nearly ten thousand times higher!

Unless they are exceptional life forms, most universe masters can reach a life gene level of 1000 times, reaching 2000-3000 times is difficult, reaching 5000 times or more is extremely difficult, and reaching 10081 times the perfect life gene level (with a divine body nearly 100,000 kilometers in size) is legendary.

Why is his life gene so advanced?

A life gene layer ten thousand times larger is already the limit of life gene layer for special life forms.

This is because the Mountain Dwellers initially wanted to cultivate a group skilled in controlling their own bodies.

In his plan, the most talented person born from this group should have the potential to reach the third level of the divine body and possess an infinite divine body.

And so the Flame God Clan came into being!

In the Origin Continent, those who possess an infinite divine body are the true geniuses.

However, even among the peerless geniuses of the Yan God Clan, their comprehension is far too poor.

Therefore, he abandoned this method and abandoned Yan Di.

For the sake of the "Art of the Elemental Path", the Mountain Dweller also cultivated a race with special souls that were easier to break through, namely the Earth lineage.

Humans are born with powerful souls, but their bodies are very weak.

Therefore, the physical weaknesses of the Earth lineage need to be compensated for by the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

In the original timeline, thanks to the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast clone and Nether Sea clone had already reached perfect genes without ever fully cultivating them.

Only the true human being on Earth!

The original human being was the first to cultivate the eighth tribulation of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

The advantage of a small divine body is that cultivation is extremely fast.

Theoretically speaking, Earthlings should have reached the level of perfect genes much faster.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

In just over a year, Luo Feng's Earthling self completed the eighth tribulation, and his life gene level grew from about 9800 times to about 10050 times.

Unfortunately, when Luo Feng cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual to the ninth tribulation, the growth rate of his Earthly self's life gene level was extremely slow. In fact, his life gene level suddenly got stuck halfway through the ninth tribulation!

It froze, it froze when it was just one step away from the perfect gene!

No matter how much one continued to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, the level of one's life genes would not increase in the slightest.

The original human being was only one step away from perfect genes, but once he started cultivating the ninth tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, it became completely useless!

It wasn't until the final step of cultivating the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" was completed and a certain bottleneck was broken that the final transformation was achieved, and the level of life genes reached perfection.

Why is this happening?

Because the Mountain Dweller already knew that Earthlings' physical talents were indeed extremely poor, and the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual was designed to help Earthlings reach a perfect level!

"Although I still can't understand the near-perfect cosmic operating model that appeared within Luo Feng's body when he cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, I'm sure I can understand this rough, special domain within the Yan God Clan with just a little time!"

After decades of effort, a substantial breakthrough was finally achieved, which made Qin Mu extremely happy.

Once you fully understand this special energy circulation model and apply it to Zerg units, the genes of Zerg units can also receive such an enhancement!

Steady improvement!

As long as one's understanding of the laws continues to improve, this operating model can be optimized to bring it closer to the direction of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

The discovery of the secrets of the Flame God Clan did not immediately enhance the combat power of the Zerg, but it did provide the Zerg swarm with another path of evolution.

……

After countless months of cultivation, more than a hundred years have passed within Chaos City.

On the rooftop of his residence in Chaos City, Qin Mu's smart computer on his wrist trembled slightly, waking him up.

"Teacher: Lord of Chaos City?"

Not daring to delay, Qin Mu immediately entered the virtual universe.

Unless it's something important, Master Chaos City Lord won't bother him.

It was still that familiar temple. The Lord of Chaos City stood on the edge of the temple cliff, looking down at Rain Mountain.

"teacher."

Qin Mu offered his respectful greetings.

"I'm here. I'm here to ask you for a favor."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed.

"Teacher, please feel free to speak."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "What else can I, a mere Realm Lord, do besides research on bloodline genes, help Master Chaos City?"

"Shouldn't the Seed of Genes be usable by other races?"

"The Lord of Chaos asked."

"Yes! The Seed of Genes itself has no limitations; it simply allows human bloodlines to fuse with the bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, bringing them closer to the Starry Sky Beasts. The reason only the human race can use it is because I have added restrictions to it."

Qin Mu said without hesitation.

Since entering the universe, Qin Mu has been collecting the genes of the human race.

Centuries have passed, and Qin Mu possesses virtually all the genes belonging to the human race.

That is why the gene seed he created can be used by all human races.

Of course, there were some blunders.

Initially, a few rare human groups found themselves unable to use the Seed of Genes. After reporting this to the Virtual Universe Company, Qin Mu conveniently fixed the problem.

"That's good. I need you to specially prepare a batch of gene seeds that can be used by these groups."

Remember, this can only be used by these specific groups!

Ten billion units are sufficient for each population group.

The Starry Sky Beast Alliance also needs a batch.

The Lord of Chaos City breathed a sigh of relief and sent the names of several clans to Qin Mu.

"Are these all vassal groups of humanity?"

Qin Mu understood immediately upon seeing it.

These groups are not only vassal groups of humans, but also relatively powerful groups with extremely close ties to humans.

"Yes, these are all vassal races of humanity. In the past hundred years, the situation on the battlefield outside the domain has not been good, and our human race has suffered enormous losses, greater than the losses of the past ten thousand years!"

These ethnic groups have also suffered heavy losses, and we need to make a gesture.

The Lord of Chaos City explained.

"I understand, I'll arrange it right away."

Qin Mu nodded.

Although there are only six dominant races in the universe, there are nine super powers.

The human-led Hongmeng is one of them.

In addition, there is the Demon Alliance led by the Demon Race, the Zerg Alliance led by the Zerg Race, and the Mechanical Alliance led by the Mechanical Race.

In the extraterritorial battlefield, it's not just humans, demons, insectoids, and mechanical races fighting; allied races also have to enter the battlefield.

Do not underestimate these groups. The Northern Frontier Alliance, one of the nine super powers in the primordial universe, is composed of a group of weak and ordinary groups, with only a very few powerful groups among them.

After the Northern Frontier Alliance hired the strongest being in the universe, a lone wolf, to oversee things, they never bowed their heads. They would rather die in battle than easily give in. Once a treasure appeared, the Northern Frontier Alliance would swarm around it like madmen.

The Northern Frontier Alliance has over a hundred times more Universe Venerables than the Hong Alliance!

There are nearly a hundred Lords of the Universe!

Among the six supreme races of humanity, there are only a dozen or so universe masters.

It is conceivable that even the weakest races in the universe constitute a very large force.

Because of the emergence of the Seed of Genes, the three major alliances of the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race have joined forces to target humanity, and the human sub-races are naturally also among the targets.

In this situation, human dependent groups would also suffer heavy losses, as they lack the genetic seed.

No matter how fierce the battle or how many deaths occur, if it cannot produce strong individuals within the clan, it is inevitable that resentment will arise.

Now that the Chaos City Lord has approached him, there's only one possibility: these subordinate clans have already caused quite a stir.

"Has the situation on the battlefield outside the region deteriorated to this extent?"

Qin Mu frowned.

"Yes, the situation is indeed not good. The high-intensity war has honed a group of human geniuses, but the losses at the grassroots level are very heavy."

The human race, comprised of 1008 advanced cosmic nations, is already recruiting soldiers.

Humans from the secret realms and humans from the divine kingdoms have all mobilized.

After hesitating for a moment, the Lord of Chaos City still spoke.

"The level of war in the extraterritorial battlefield is not high, and it generally occurs below the level of a King-level expert, but the scale is very large."

"The demon race is much larger than us, and the losses in this war are too great for them to bear."

So they provided the Zerg and Mechs with a batch of resources, allowing them to produce massive numbers of low-level units to wear us down, thus increasing our losses.

"We need some allies to share the burden."

"It's not just these races; we've also reached an agreement with the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, and they will send a portion of their people into the battlefield."

Qin Mu frowned at first, but then his eyes lit up.

"The Starry Sky Beast Alliance has allied with us?"

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, giving a definite reply.

The Starry Sky Beast Alliance is different from races like the Demon Race, the Mechanical Race, and the Zerg Race.

The Starry Sky Beast Alliance is one of the nine super powers in the original universe. They are few in number and do not even have a fixed territory. Their conflicts with humans are far less than those with the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race!

"Teacher, I have already researched the fourth generation of gene seed. The fourth generation of gene seed does not greatly improve bloodline, and there is no qualitative change."

However, it can grant powerful individuals who transform into humanoid star beasts the talents of star beasts.

I have prepared hundreds of talents within the Seed of Genes for them to choose from.

Top-tier talents such as clones, time stop, and space blockade are not available for selection.

You can only choose common talents such as Enhancement, Imprisonment, and Radiant Sun.

After a moment's thought, Qin Mu spoke.

"The fourth generation is already out? And you can even choose your own talents?"

The Lord of Chaos City looked pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, you can. However, you can only choose talents that are of the same level and that match your own attributes. For example, for ordinary star beasts with fire attributes, you can only choose talents that are also ordinary star beasts, such as Heart of the Furnace, Flame Jet, etc."

However, the peak bloodline star beasts have many talents that are based on space and time, so any talent that is of the same time or space type can be selected.

For example, for the evolution path of the Golden Horned Beast, you can choose to imprison it instead of strengthening it.

Of course, at present, one can only choose one talent, and there is still a gap between them and the true peak bloodline star behemoth.

With the right talent, their physical abilities can be further improved.

Qin Mu nodded and said.

"Excellent! Being able to choose a talent is already very good. The potential of my human race is even greater!"

The Lord of Chaos City said excitedly.

This is good news for the entire human race.

"It's not a qualitative improvement, just filling in the gaps."

Qin Mu shook his head.

The fourth-generation gene seed was originally intended as a transitional product.

What he really cares about is the fifth generation!

The fifth generation, theoretically, allows human genes to undergo a qualitative change, reaching 10 times the genetic potential of a peak-blooded star behemoth, and possessing all its talents.

This is much more difficult than the fourth generation; Qin Mu predicts it won't happen for at least a thousand years.

The universal gene seed is not the same as the one that specifically enhances Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen; the difficulty is simply incomparable.

"In addition, teacher, my research has reached a certain stage, and it will be difficult to make a major breakthrough in a short period of time, so I plan to enter the battlefield outside the domain."

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Mu spoke.

"So impatient? How many years have you been cultivating?"

It's not too late for you to hone your skills in the outer battlefields after you reach the peak of the Realm Lord.

The current battlefields outside the region are different from those in the past; the intensity is more than a hundred times higher.

You are still my disciple, even without the exposure of the genetic seed.

However, once they enter the battlefield, they will definitely be the primary targets for hunting by the alien races.

Over the past century, many core realm masters of my Virtual Universe Company have fallen.

The Lord of Chaos frowned, and most of the joy on his face disappeared.

"Teacher, I have already reached the peak of the Realm Lord level."

Qin Mu said.

Having arrived in Chaos City, more than two hundred years have passed. The ratio of the initial universe to the primordial universe is 1:3.28, while seven hundred years have passed in the outside world!

Seven hundred years have passed, and the insect swarm has reached the ninth level of the World Lord level, while he himself has long since reached the peak World Lord level.

If the Lord of Chaos doesn't approach him, he will take the initiative to approach the Lord of Chaos in a few days.

"Don't worry, teacher, I won't act rashly."

I have made all the necessary arrangements, and I will go to the battlefield incognito.

I plan to enter the No. 1 battlefield, where the war is most intense. Not only me, but my Zerg swarm will also join!

Joining the battlefield as a special life form!

Qin Mu had a smile on his face.

"Special life form?"

The Lord of Chaos City was somewhat puzzled, thinking of the body of Qin Mu, the Tyrant of the Insect Nest.

"Yes, I am a special life form called the Hive Fortress, prepared for high-intensity battlefields."

Qin Mu chuckled in a low voice.

It is more than a hundred times more powerful than it was seven hundred years ago!
