Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 298 Qin Mu and the Secrets of Earth

"Earth holds secrets!"

On Thunder Island, the Lord of Chaos City watched as Hong, Thor, Luo Feng, and Jia Yi traversed one illusionary island after another in the Illusionary Island Plane.

"No wonder Qin Mu concealed the identities of Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, and arranged for them to be on different planets in the Milky Way."

The Lord of Chaos City wore a smile.

Qin Mu's methods for concealing the identities of these people were too crude. He conveniently hid some traces and information and elevated the access to their identities to an extremely high level.

At that time, he thought the group was trying to hide Huyanbo's legacy and Qin Mu's special insectoid nature.

But now that I think about it, the Earth itself may hold some kind of secret!

Willpower and understanding the laws are different.

One can comprehend the laws by relying on external objects, such as Blood Crystals or even treasures like the blood of the Beast God, to directly enhance one's talent.

Want to improve your willpower?

That would be too difficult!

It may be a coincidence that a planet gives birth to a genius with unparalleled willpower.

But it would be incredible if two of them appeared at the same time, and from the same era.

Those who can conquer the fourteenth or fifteenth level at a cosmic level possess willpower and talent that reach the level of a genius that appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs.

To be clear, in a single Genius Battle, 1000 people are selected from 1008 universe nations, meaning that on average, each universe nation only has about one person.

The probability is already small enough!

That's the only one in the 1008 universes spanning tens of thousands of epochs!

The probability of them all landing on Earth is incredibly low.

Three, four, or even more?

Even a fool would know something's wrong!

In the past, the reason they were not exposed to the higher-ups was because Qin Mu helped them increase their gene multiplier.

It's normal for someone with a high gene count to have an extraordinary understanding of the laws of nature.

In addition, at Qin Mu's request, none of the group ventured into the Illusionary Sea.

Furthermore, because the Lord of Chaos City helped conceal their origins, they all became members of the Primal Secret Realm, which seems exaggerated, but it is not inexplicable.

After all, Qin Mu was able to wholesale special life forms like the Insect Hive Tyrant, whose status as a Realm Lord was comparable to that of a King.

However, strong willpower has little to do with genetic diversity!

"Is this a deliberate attempt to expose themselves?"

The Lord of Chaos City was extremely pleased with the appearance of so many top geniuses at once.

As for Qin Mu's earlier concealment, the Lord of Chaos City was not displeased.

Which genius doesn't have some secrets?

Besides, he had witnessed Qin Mu's growth all along.

"Let me see just how strong your will really is."

There was curiosity in his eyes.

As for the secrets of Earth, the founder of the giant axe is gone, and nothing special could possibly be hidden from him.

It wasn't that he wanted to seize Earth, but rather to ensure that the secrets behind Earth wouldn't harm Qin Mu.

In the eyes of the Chaos City Lord and the founder of the Giant Axe, Qin Mu's value was extremely important.

Even the most powerful treasures cannot compare!

Qin Mu's ideas, such as the Seed of Genes and the Embroidered Armor, are all capable of fundamentally enhancing the human race's foundation and strength.

The method of achieving a hundredfold genetic breakthrough is a terrifying secret technique that can directly enhance humanity's top-tier combat power, mass-produce top-tier cosmic overlords, and even cosmic masters.

In the primordial universe, even the most powerful treasures could only unleash the power of a sixth-order universe lord.

How old is he?

What will he bring to the human race in the long years to come?

If the creator of the giant axe hadn't recognized Qin Mu's importance, how could the only supreme being in the universe like humanity have been willing to act as his protector and remain in the primordial universe?

Normally, the Giant Axe Founder, as the strongest being in the universe, that is, a true god, should be adventuring and cultivating in the cosmic sea.

……

Just as Hong, Lei Shen, Jia Yi, and Luo Feng were venturing into the Illusionary Sea.

A giant savage appeared out of thin air in the sky above the earth without attracting anyone's attention.

Even the reclusive Golden Axe Master, who lived on Earth, did not discover it.

When Qin Mu first proposed the Seed of Genes and successfully developed it, the alien races were massacring top human pharmacists.

The Lord of Chaos City secretly dispatched his ninth disciple, Venerable Golden Axe, to protect Qin Mu's hometown, so that Qin Mu could cultivate and conduct research without any worries.

No matter how strong those assassins were, in the heart of the human race, they could not possibly be stronger than Venerable Golden Axe!

The giant savage's eyes swept across the Earth, with the Earth at its center, and the entire solar system and thousands of light-years around it were all under his control.

In his eyes, time and space began to rapidly reverse.

The Giant Axe Founder saw the constantly evolving and mutating Zerg, and he saw Qin Mu cultivating the Zerg on Earth, unifying the Earth, and entering the starry sky.

"Is this Qin Mu's special insectoid race?"

Time continued to flow backward, and he saw a strange insect egg travel through time and space to appear on Earth.

"Hmm? Where did these insect eggs come from?"

Driven by curiosity, he began to trace the trail where the insect eggs had appeared, but the founder of the giant axe soon realized something was amiss.

The traces of the insect eggs suddenly disappeared.

The founder of the giant axe had confusion in his eyes, and even more so, worry.

He noticed that the insect eggs were covered in cracks when they appeared, as if they had suffered some kind of severe damage.

After a thorough search yielded no results, a series of thoughts flashed through the mind of the Giant Axe Founder.

Ultimately, the founder of the giant axe abandoned the exploration of the origin of the insect eggs and focused his attention on Qin Mu and Earth.

Fortunately, after the strange insect egg established a peculiar connection with Qin Mu, it did not cause any special harm.

Qin Mu himself showed no unusual behavior.

At least, there was nothing unusual in the eyes of the founder of the giant axe.

Time continued to flow backward, this time over an extremely long period. He witnessed the Earth breaking and rebuilding time and time again, and in the process, he discovered that the Earth had been clearly modified.

Because of this transformation, life born within the Earth, especially during the embryonic development process, is subject to the Earth's invisible influence, and a certain aspect of the soul undergoes a special evolution.

Clearly, it is precisely because of this transformation that one aspect of the human soul born on Earth has evolved, making it easier to perceive and improve one's state of mind.

"These marks are the work of the Mountain-Sitting Guest!"

After careful observation, the creator of the giant axe discovered the identity of the modifier.

"Truly remarkable! To be able to create the Flame God Clan, with their physical evolution and incredibly powerful physique, and also to create the Earth lineage with its powerful souls!"

"As long as people live on Earth, through the continuous evolution of generations of humans, they can give rise to a race with extremely strong mental capabilities."

The founder of the giant axe had admiration in his eyes.

The Flame God Clan was once a powerful race among the human race, but unfortunately, their leader secretly plotted to seize their clan's treasures and betrayed the human race.

If it weren't for the fear of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, how could the human race have so easily let the Flame God Clan go?

Not to mention, as countless years have passed, humanity and the Flame God Clan have remained enemies...

The Flame God Clan frequently enters the "Extraterritorial Battlefield" to join other factions and fight against humans!

Throughout the nine garbage star regions, there are fragments of soldiers' armor and generals' armor everywhere, all of which are remnants and debris left behind by war.

"Countless planets within thousands of light-years of this area have undergone some form of modification, and the core of this modification across that range is Earth!"

"The value of Earth is probably no less than that of a supreme treasure in the pinnacle realm."

The founder of the giant axe smiled.

Although no unusual origin of the insect eggs was discovered, he was quite pleased to have uncovered the secrets of Earth.

Such treasures are rare even among the entire human race.

However, that's all.

It's not that having Earth means we can mass-produce geniuses like Qin Mu and Luo Feng.

To become a strong person, there are several elements: talent, perseverance, and resources.

Resources refer to cultivation methods, powerful teachers, and treasures that enhance cultivation, etc.

Talent: People without talent may become strong, but it is difficult for them to become super strong.

Even with talent and resources, if you lack perseverance and can't endure loneliness, you won't go far on the path to becoming a strong person. Everyone who becomes a super strong person needs extremely strong perseverance.

All three are very important.

Transformation of the Earth can enhance the mental well-being of Earthlings.

A strong mindset naturally leads to exceptional perseverance and ample patience!

A strong mental state makes it easier to resist illusionary attacks and other similar situations.

Of course, a strong mindset doesn't make you invincible; a strong mindset is just an aid, an aid to becoming a super strong person.

"Chaos, I know the secret of the Earth."

The founder of the giant axe entered the virtual universe and told the Lord of Chaos City everything he saw.

……

"One person has already been eliminated from the fifteenth floor."

When they reached the fifteenth island, Jia Yi finally succumbed to the immense pressure, and his consciousness was completely shattered.

"Luo Feng has also been eliminated."

The Lord of Chaos City looked satisfied.

He was satisfied with both Luo Feng and Jia Yi.

Especially Jia Yi, he's a ninth-level cosmic-level being!

In terms of strength, he is a whole level below Luo Feng.

Strength is also very important when venturing into the Illusion Island. The stronger you are, the easier it will be, as you will have a stronger mind.

Jia Yi's time spent cultivating in Chaos City was also much shorter.

If properly nurtured, he could become a top-tier genius!

"Thunder God and Hong are a pleasant surprise; they're still making their way in!"

Especially Hong, who has already entered the eighteenth level, and he seems quite relaxed about it.

The Lord of Chaos City was pleasantly surprised.

Like the Sky Bridge, the difficulty of Illusion Island increases dramatically as you progress.
