Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 348 The Horrifying Scale of the Swarm

"Send them to the demon race?"

There was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, but he didn't suspect that Qin Mu had any ulterior motives.

I just don't understand why Qin Mu would do this.

"Why? Weren't you planning to fight the machine race?"

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Qin Mu, somewhat puzzled.

The machine race is extremely united because of the intelligent life's ability to recognize a master.

Even among him, and even within the entire Hong Alliance, there are not many who can infiltrate the Mechanical Race.

Moreover, he couldn't think of any benefit in giving such a strategically important special life form to the demon race.

"Initially, it was indeed intended to target the Machine Race."

"However, I later realized that it would be more suitable for dealing with the demon race."

Qin Mu spoke, and then explained.

"There are several reasons. The first is to use the resources of the demon race to cultivate the War Tree and give back to the entire insect swarm."

"Secondly, it's to secretly infiltrate and control the middle and upper echelons of the demon race!"

"Furthermore, it can also sow discord between them."

The demon race gifted a large amount of resources to the insectoid and mechanical races.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City frowned.

"Resources? Let's not even talk about whether you can hide it from them."

Our human race has no shortage of resources!

"It's more than enough to easily sustain this ancient war tree, even if it consumes ten times the resources of the Zerg swarm in the outer battlefield."

"As for secretly infiltrating and controlling the middle and upper levels of the demon race, that's even more impossible."

A small amount of control is not very meaningful, but if it is a large amount of control,

The demon race's higher-ups aren't fools; they have a universe master, or even the strongest being in the universe.

Even if you manage to deceive them, there is still a risk of being possessed by a strategically important and special life form like the War Tree.

It's really not worth the loss.

He was stationed in Chaos City to prevent spies from alien races from infiltrating it.

After Qin Mu was accepted as a personal disciple, he immediately entered Chaos City for identification.

The demon race also has similar sacred sites and methods of identification.

Once discovered, their fate is predictable.

"Teacher, my swarm might be stronger than you think."

Qin Mu pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

"In the nine garbage star systems, the swarms have stopped devouring."

Because if they continue to devour, the nine garbage star regions won't last long and will be completely exhausted.

"The current expansion of the Zerg swarm is not only due to the resources provided by the human race, but also largely due to the devouring of enemies who died in battles outside the domain."

"In the extraterritorial battlefield alone, the number of peak-level world lord-level main force units in the swarm exceeded one trillion!"

The number of other cannon fodder units is countless.

This is only at the Realm Lord stage. Teacher, have you ever thought about the scene when I break through to Immortality and the entire swarm of insects breaks through as well?

By then, the resources of the human race may not be enough to sustain them.

Qin Mu looked at the Lord of Chaos City seriously.

"If I wanted, this data could become even larger!"

Therefore, resources are never enough for me.

"As for secretly infiltrating and controlling the middle and upper levels of the demon race, I certainly wouldn't be so reckless; I would only act in secret."

With my expertise in genes and bloodlines, I don't even need direct control; subtle influence is sufficient.

The Lord of Chaos City fell silent for a moment.

The scale of Qin Mu's insect swarm was extremely terrifying.

If he hadn't known from the beginning, he wouldn't have been able to imagine that such a massive swarm of insects was actually all bred from Qin Mu's clones.

Trillions of dollars, or even more peak realm masters?

The human race, including the secret realms of the universe, and all the realm lords in the divine kingdom combined, are far less than this number.

The number of world lords in a human universe kingdom is only a few million.

Perhaps only the number of Realm Lords in the entire Hong Alliance can rival it.

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Mu's swarm of insects had reached such a terrifying scale!

And this number is still growing.

But if it weren't for such a massive scale, how could the swarm alone reverse the absolute disadvantage of being besieged by the three-race alliance?

He didn't feel much drain because the swarm grew like a snowball by sustaining itself through warfare.

If we were to rely entirely on human populations to support them, it would be an enormous burden.

This is just a realm lord!

If they all ascend to immortality...

That consumption would be quite terrifying.

The Zerg, one of the six dominant races, possess the ability to reproduce immortal Zerg warriors.

However, the Immortal Mother Queen will not produce millions of Immortal Warriors as she did during the Realm Lord era.

Typically, only tens of thousands of immortal Zerg warriors will be produced.

What is the reason for this?

Resources, of course!

If there were a million immortal Zerg warriors, their combined attack would cause even a Cosmic Venerable to perish if it hit him!

"Can you evolve them all into immortals?"

The Lord of Chaos City's eyes were filled with shock.

The peak realm lords hatched by the Zerg Queen do not possess such abilities!

To the Zerg Queen, Zerg warriors are merely cannon fodder, tools of war.

As the game progresses, the importance of combat decreases.

Even at the level of the strongest beings in the universe, such as the Zerg Queen, the main force is no longer the Zerg warriors, but the mastery of laws and the power of the soul.

"When I ascend to immortality, it is possible."

Qin Mu looked at the Lord of Chaos City.

Because of the existence of the swarm's will, his swarm can be viewed as a whole!

An extremely special life form!

When he advances and breaks through to become an immortal, the entire swarm will naturally advance as well.

At that time, countless divine kingdoms will rise!

Especially when he goes to the Ancestral Mystic Realm, if he obtains the World Tree, the Nine Nether Sea, and other body parts, and becomes a member of the insect swarm, what a terrifying scene that would be.

More importantly, when a realm lord breaks through to immortality, the ocean of laws descends, and consciousness connects to the land of origin.

It can absorb endless energy to evolve into a divine kingdom.

Qin Mu was even considering whether this exploitation of the primordial universe would incur its wrath, and whether he should send his clone into the cosmic sea as a precaution.

Although the Chaos City Lord hadn't told him how to enter the Cosmic Sea, Qin Mu knew it.

There are two ways to reach the Cosmic Sea.

One method is to enter the spatial interlayer and then teleport until reaching the end of the spatial interlayer, where you can penetrate through the endless cosmic membrane!

But only the Lord of the Universe can break through and penetrate that membrane.

The second method is to leave the original universe through the Toya black hole.

The Toya black hole is arguably the most powerful black hole in the entire primordial universe. Its powerful tearing and twisting forces constantly damage the membrane walls, so once you enter the black hole, you can simply exit through it.

To survive in the Cosmic Sea, one needs at least the strength of a Cosmic Venerable!

Moreover, the cosmic ocean is so vast that even the Lord of the Universe would lose his way.

If I really want to go, I should at least wait until I have the power to survive in the cosmic sea.

Furthermore, they obtained a map of the Cosmic Sea from their teacher, the Lord of Chaos City.

Looking into Qin Mu's eyes, the Lord of Chaos City felt a sudden shiver run down his spine.

He had been overestimating Qin Mu and his insect swarm as much as possible, but he never expected it to be this exaggerated!

Once he breaks through, the number of immortals in the Zerg swarm will be greater than the entire human race!

If this breaks through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable...

"What about the issue of being possessed?"

The Lord of Chaos City took a deep breath and asked.

"I'll equip it with a supreme treasure for soul defense!"

Qin Mu answered without hesitation.

Although the swarm could not be possessed, Qin Mu still suggested a method that everyone could accept and that was the safest.

"Bringing a Soul Defense Treasure can indeed solve this problem."

Even if you can't resist, self-destruction is still an option.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded and stopped dwelling on the matter.

"But if we really expect the demon race to provide massive amounts of resources to hatch a large number of combat units, wouldn't the pressure on our human race be immense?"

The Lord of Chaos asked again.

However, at this point, he was no longer opposed, but rather curious about Qin Mu's approach.

"That's easy."

"Units hatched from the Ancient Tree of War, though half-plant and half-flesh, are still relatively slow-moving and are best suited for fighting on land."

This is also one of the strengths of the Zeg swarm.

Furthermore, I can use half of the resources obtained from the Ancient of War to hatch Treant Warriors and the other half to hatch Zerg swarms.

Even if more hatch, the Zerg swarm can still hold them off.

Furthermore, the Ancient of War is currently unable to spawn high-level units such as the Hive Tyrant and the Hive Queen.

Overall, it will have some impact on humans, but the impact will not be significant.

It's within a controllable range.

Qin Mu explained.

"If it's truly possible to deceive the detection of the Lord of the Universe, I have no objection."

The Chaos City Lord's mind raced with thoughts before he finally spoke.

"Well, this is just one of my ideas; many problems remain unresolved."

I'll think of a way to deal with the issue of soul energy.

If there's really no other way, let's wait until we achieve immortality.

Qin Mu didn't dwell on it; it would be best if it could work out.

If it doesn't work out, there's nothing we can do.

"You're quite magnanimous! But if you want to gain the trust of the demon race, it's best to wait until you reach immortality."

After achieving immortality, the soul and divine body merge into one, making it impossible to distinguish the soul's race and virtually impossible to gain true trust.

"This is what the Lord of Chaos City said."

"Haha, it's just an idea."

If it works out, I'd also like to send a gift to a Mech and a Zerg as well.

Qin Mu smiled.

"Your audacity and appetite are truly astounding. Even at the Realm Lord level, you dared to plot against three top-tier races!"

"I will help you deal with the problem of your soul aura."

The Lord of Chaos City also smiled.

If it succeeds, it will be a great thing for the human race.

"Also, there's something I need to tell you."

"The immortal, cosmic sovereign you requested, possessing a special life form, has been delivered to Chaos City."
