Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 346 Using billions of races to feed the insect swarm!

"Life like the ancient war tree can only play a role on the battlefield."

"But there are already Zerg swarms in the outer battlefields, so releasing the Ancient of War wouldn't make much sense."

Qin Mu pondered this in his heart.

If it doesn't hatch tree people, but only some blood spirit fruits, the War Tree's massive body can absorb enough cosmic energy to supply them.

But once it starts mass production, it can instantly hatch a massive army of tens of billions, not to mention the ancient war trees nurtured by the Tree of Life.

Even if one joins the Ancestral God Cult and obtains the World Tree gene, and cultivates the War Ancient Tree from the World Tree, which is ten times larger, it still cannot withstand such consumption.

The resources required would be no less than those needed for a Zerg swarm in an extraterritorial war.

Qin Mu's plan for the War Tree is not only to hatch 100-meter-tall tree warriors, but also plant warships similar to Leviathan!

Among the fruits of the ancient war tree, which are still developing and have a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, are plant warships!

Once fully hatched, it can easily reach a length of tens of thousands of kilometers.

This was originally created by modifying a special life form from a plant.

Plant and rock-dwelling life forms are known for their large size, and it's not uncommon for them to be tens of thousands of kilometers long.

"If we could achieve immortality, or block soul detection, things would be much easier."

"You can send them to the territories of the demon race, or the insect race, or the mechanical race, and let them raise them for me."

A thought popped into Qin Mu's mind.

"If it can be done, the Zerg and Mech races are hard to say."

But the demon race would certainly be willing to win them over and invest resources in fighting against the increasingly powerful human race in the extraterritorial battlefield.

As his thoughts began to wander, a series of ideas popped into Qin Mu's mind.

Among the races that fought against humans, the machine race was the first to be excluded.

They were naturally interested in Blood Spirit Fruit, a treasure that could transform the body into flesh and blood.

It is impossible to invest resources to allow the War Tree to hatch a massive number of warriors.

Because the mechanical race is inherently skilled at creating metal golems.

The Zerg are the same.

The demon race is different.

Like the human race, the demon race is composed of a large number of races, including eighteen royal families.

In addition, there are numerous royal families and hundreds of millions of weaker races.

Plant life exists among them.

Therefore, the War Tree is most compatible with the demon race!

Moreover, Qin Mu's spy swarm is the largest among the Zerg, Mechs, and Demon races!

They could easily have those spy swarms guide the demon race to discover the Ancient Tree of War in some secret cosmic realm.

Furthermore, in the midst of fierce warfare on battlefields outside the region.

The demon race even had to allocate a large amount of resources to the insectoid and mechanical races to hatch cannon fodder units to consume the human population.

What if we could recruit the War Tree and make it one of them?

If they are successfully won over, they will definitely be willing to invest the resources given to the Mechs and Zerg into the Ancient of War.

This way, we can also split the three-race alliance!

As for the massive number of warriors hatched from the Ancient of War, will they threaten the Zerg swarm?

Ha ha.

The War Tree, in the end, is also a member of the insect swarm.

There's absolutely no need to worry about this.

The battle between the two sides will only accelerate the evolution of the entire Zerg swarm.

In the past, Qin Mu rarely used the method of insect swarms killing each other to select powerful warriors.

This is because it is too inefficient, and the resources consumed are not worth the effort compared to doing the research yourself.

But if the demon race provides the resources, then it's a different story.

"Initially, the intention was to target the Mech race."

Using the properties of the Blood Spirit Fruit, they secretly transformed and corroded its flesh.

Unexpectedly, the ancient war tree, which they discovered by chance, seems to be even more compatible with the demon race.

Qin Mu lowered his head in deep thought.

"The Blood Spirit Fruit is also useful to the demon race; after consuming it, it can also control them."

But that would be too obvious. The higher-ups of the demon race aren't fools; they would definitely notice.

A more covert method should be used, such as manipulating the genes.

"Blood Spirit Fruit doesn't sound good. Perhaps it could be called the Fruit of Life?"

"The demon race's research on bloodlines is not as advanced as that of the human race."

Once you gain their trust, you can lure them into the ancient tree of war, into the fruits, and boost their genetic potential without any problem.

Once his mind was clear, a series of ideas popped into Qin Mu's head.

The fruit in the War Tree is essentially no different from the flesh and blood chambers in the Mother Nest.

It's incredibly easy to tamper with genes during the modification process.

They could be silently transformed into Zerg without any resistance.

"However, the current War Tree itself only has a gene multiplication factor of 500 times, so it is still a bit unconvincing."

Ideally, one should obtain the World Tree's genes and use them to transform the World Tree into a War Tree, or directly upgrade the War Tree.

The Tree of Life and the World Tree are inherently connected.

It's not impossible to obtain its genes.

"The War Tree is not stable enough yet; it needs time to be transformed into a true war fortress."

Qin Mu was making plans in his mind.

"But this is just a perfect ending in my imagination."

Given the nature of powerful demons, the first thing a special life form at the realm lord level would consider is possession.

At the same time, the high-ranking members of the demon race will also be mobilized, and they might discover the anomaly in the soul of the War Tree.

Unfortunately, the swarm has not yet reached the immortal level.

Immortal life, where the soul and divine body are merged into one, cannot be possessed, and it is very difficult to detect any abnormalities in the soul.

The idea is good, but it also has many problems.

"Perhaps, we can discuss this matter with Teacher Chaos and the founder of the Giant Axe."

"If they can't detect anything amiss after we've disguised ourselves, then we can try to pull off a heist."

In the primordial universe, the Lord of Chaos City, relying on his authority and immense power, could easily discern the abnormalities in the souls of those below the Immortal level.

The Giant Axe Founder is the strongest being in the universe, not to mention in his own miniature universe.

With their cooperation, the success rate of things is much higher.

"The larger the insect population, the more resources it needs."

Once we reach the immortal level, it might be difficult for the human race alone to provide for us. If other races could share the burden, it would be much easier.

"This can be done not only among the demon race, but also among the insectoid race and the machine race!"

"If I succeed, I can turn the war in the extraterrestrial battlefield, and even the war in the entire universe, into a civil war among the Zerg!"

The billions of races in the primordial universe feed the insect swarm!

They even use their resources to feed the insect swarm while secretly corrupting and controlling it!

The more Qin Mu thought about it, the more excited he became.

"But the directions can't be the same."

"The demon race doesn't understand bloodlines, so we can use a simple and brutal method like the Ancient Tree of War."

"The machine race has no soul, but it can create a soul through flesh and blood, which leads to corruption."

Perhaps I should focus on the characteristics of the Blood Spirit Fruit and research a treasure that enhances flesh and soul, or perhaps a special insectoid species.

In that case, there's no worry about the machine race not being fooled.

"The Zerg are in trouble."

Their research on genes is also extremely advanced, making it almost impossible to erode or corrupt in a similar way.

We need to find another way to attract them!

Without hesitation, Qin Mu left the Mother Nest to find his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City.

Although the ancient war tree is not yet perfect, it has taken its general shape.

Asking the Chaos City Lord for help is a good idea, and then making targeted modifications yourself will greatly increase the chances of success.

"Teacher, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
