Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 352 The Fifth Generation Gene Seed is Released, and the Era of Doppelgangers Arrives!

"As expected, studying a divine body at the level of a Cosmic Venerable is far more difficult!"

It was as if countless data points were flashing through Qin Mu's eyes.

The data from that single moment is enough to overload and crash even intelligent life forms.

But Qin Mu easily endured it.

Looking at the three-meter-tall cosmic venerable lying inside the Nirvana Temple, his eyes were filled with unparalleled fanaticism.

This is the look in one's eyes when seeing the most advanced experimental materials.

"This is a beginner-level Universe Venerable who has recently entered the Venerable realm. His divine body has almost completely transformed into an energy state."

In his vision, countless tiny insectoids followed the dark green liquid and entered the divine body of this cosmic venerable.

Qin Mu knew very well how to become a cosmic sage, after all, he had seen it more than once.

Like the Venerable One of Space.

During the breakthrough, the three fundamental laws of teleportation, strangulation, and sealing will appear as threads of law under the influence of divine power.

Subsequently, three incomplete rune diagrams appeared, and then the three rune diagrams merged directly, perfectly combining into one rune diagram.

That is, the true laws of space!

Then the fundamental laws of the universe descended, the five-colored vortex space primordial ocean descended, and the divine power of space and seawater surged from the void and entered the divine body.

The only difference is the size of the colorful vortexes.

Generally, colorful vortexes are not very large, such as those with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.

But the most powerful breakthroughs can create a multicolored vortex with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers!

Breakthroughs often demonstrate a person's strength.

This is what is meant by profound cultural heritage!

Upon breakthrough, one can devour countless divine powers from the primordial ocean.

However, upon becoming immortal, one can be completely transformed into a divine body in one go, receiving an endless supply of divine power.

For example, Luo Feng's Endless Nether Sea clone in the original timeline, with a diameter of 100 billion kilometers, could be completely transformed into a divine power ocean.

However, when breaking through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, one can only absorb energy for a very short time.

When one breaks through to become a Universal Venerable, there is usually no clone like the True Derivation Venerable.

Then the origin of the universe would naturally descend directly upon Venerable Zhenyan, allowing Venerable Zhenyan to more effectively absorb divine power! If there were avatars...

Then the origin of the universe descended upon the largest and most energetic clone, which made it more efficient to devour divine power.

Even if the clones are scattered throughout the universe.

The moment one breaks through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable... the Origin of the Universe appears directly above the one with the largest volume and the most energy.

In the original timeline, when Luo Feng broke through, it was the Endless Nether Sea that absorbed his energy.

In other words, it means "selective arrival"!

This is a gift from the universe to the life that lives within it.

The time of the descent of the origin of the universe is very short. Among the three levels of entering immortality, entering the level of cosmic venerable, and entering the level of cosmic lord, only entering immortality can fully absorb and perfectly transform the divine body.

The time available to absorb divine power during the latter two leaps is very short, and how much one can absorb depends entirely on their ability.

This is fortunate for others.

But for Qin Mu, it was not so.

This means that, during the immortal stage, he was able to leverage the unique nature of the swarm to elevate billions of swarms to immortality, thus creating billions of divine kingdoms.

Because this is permitted by the rules of the universe.

However, when breaking through to become a Universe Venerable, it's different; you can only choose one!

It's no longer possible to take advantage of these deals.

As for relying on his own resources to elevate all the Zerg swarms to the level of Cosmic Sovereigns?

That's impossible.

Moreover, due to the passage of time, the larger the size, the lower the conversion rate of the divine body!

Ordinary humans are immortal because their divine bodies are too weak; they can still be transformed 100%.

For example, the conversion rate of the "Golden Horned Beasts" of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance into Cosmic Venerables is around 50%.

Luo Feng's Endless Dark Sea only accounts for 12%!

Once the transformation is complete, from Immortal to Cosmic Venerable, the limits of the divine body will reach a hundred times greater than before!

Normal humans go from having 1000 times the power of a Realm Lord to having 10 million times the power of a Realm Lord.

However, this transformation does not enlarge the divine body, but rather increases the purity of divine power by a hundred times.

In short, they have almost completely transformed into energy life forms.

This made it a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, more difficult for Qin Mu to detect the gene structure!

Of course, even a cosmic sage can still rely on treasures to increase their gene multiplier.

For example, Blood Crystal can still be effective.

This shows that although their life structure has changed, their most basic genetic structure still exists.

Even after breaking through to become a true god, the body transformed into divine power will still transform back into a normal flesh and blood body.

However, Qin Mu had to probe the most essential genetic structure under the interference of divine power.

The difficulty of it is self-evident.

"Although we have data from several newly breakthrough individuals, such as Venerable Zhenyan, it is still too difficult to conduct in-depth research on the divine bodies at the level of Universe Venerables."

This is still a human body; it would be even more difficult to study the divine bodies of special life forms.

My guess was correct.

Fortunately, I only got those at the Venerable level. If it were a cosmic overlord, even if they actively cooperated with my research, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Qin Mu's expression revealed understanding.

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Mu turned his gaze to the flesh and blood cavity, where a special life form, about a thousand miles long and shaped like a giant bear, was located.

This is the special life form of this cosmic venerable being.

"Raging Giant Bear, a special life form with a hundredfold increase in genetic value."

"The Mother Nest can analyze the genes of special life forms at the level of Cosmic Venerables, but the time required is far too long."

It will take at least several thousand years!

Furthermore, it requires the computing power of dozens of mother nests.

Qin Mu looked at the surging divine power within the raging giant bear and the innate patterns engraved on its divine body, without feeling the slightest impatience.

This also made Qin Mu realize why the swarm would be overloaded when it tried to analyze the Blood Crystal, which is the Golden and Void Beast God.

If even a cosmic venerable being is like this, it's normal that someone two major realms below, or a special life form like a born beast god, wouldn't be able to analyze it.

The gap in strength is simply too large.

Although he understood this, Qin Mu had no intention of giving up.

If it cannot be analyzed quickly, then save all the data of its divine body and genes and let the mother nest analyze it slowly.

At the very least, it can accumulate data at the level of a Cosmic Sovereign for the swarm.

Qin Mu was well aware that he might remain at the Realm Lord stage for a very long time.

Even ten thousand years wouldn't be unusual.

With his profound foundation, once he breaks through to immortality, he will soon become a cosmic venerable!

It's like rapidly breaking through from the cosmic level to the domain lord level and reaching the realm lord level.

With that thought in mind, his body took flight and reached outside the mother nest.

On this vast land, lies a special creature, similar to an eagle, with a wingspan exceeding ten thousand miles.

Because of its enormous size, it could not be placed in the mother nest.

Therefore, Qin Mu simply used the most primitive research method, mobilizing the fleshy vines around the mother nest to pierce his body.

How resilient is the body of the Cosmic Venerable?

Even without any defense, the flesh vines managed to pierce its body with difficulty, thanks to the opponent's cooperation.

And there are more than a dozen of these enormous creatures on the Chaos Void.

Some are cosmic sages, some are immortal.

As for the three realm lords, they were all lying inside the mother nest.

Compared to studying these immortal, Venerable-level top geniuses, studying the World Lord is far too easy.

……

Immersed in research, time passed by in a leisurely manner.

Qin Mu was very attentive to the research on the divine body of the cosmic venerable and immortal life, but he focused more on the second-stage divine body, the seed of genes, and the talent of clones.

With the Phantom Whale, a more powerful descendant of the Beast God, and the original thousand-fold increase in genes, the stability of the second-stage perfect divine body has also made breakthrough progress.

One hundred years in Chaos City is equivalent to three hundred years in the outside world.

Qin Mu has already stabilized the second-generation perfect divine body at 2600 times!

As its gene count multiplied dramatically, its body grew at an astounding rate, reaching a size of tens of thousands of miles!

Although it did not reach the ideal 3000 times, it still exceeded expectations.

Besides the perfect divine body, what made Qin Mu most gratified was that the fifth-generation gene seed was finally completely perfected!

Looking into the flesh-and-blood chamber, at the humanoid cosmic behemoth about a hundred kilometers long, whose body was expanding wildly until it became a colossal creature nearly a thousand miles long, Qin Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"Through continuous battles, it has undergone multiple transformations from a World Lord-level bloodline, resulting in a tenfold increase in its genetic potential!"

"Finally, I can perfectly utilize the clone talent."

"Unfortunately, to complete this level of transformation, one must reach the World Lord level!"

"Only those who reach the level of a World Lord and possess an inner world can supply the enormous energy required for transformation."

Qin Mu looked at the humanoid star beast that was roaring madly and said softly.

Bloodline and strength are not the same thing.

This also applies to the use of gene seed enhancement.

Through Qin Mu's continuous research, iterative processes were conducted.

Although the Seed of Genes, at the cosmic, domain lord, and even world lord levels, can all transform into humanoid star behemoths.

However, its size cannot compare to that of a real cosmic behemoth.

For example, a cosmic-level object is only a few hundred meters high.

It can also complete the transformation by relying on the user's own energy and the energy stored inside the seed of genes.

However, to achieve such a leap in gene enhancement as tenfold, one needs at least the strength of a World Lord and the support of the inner world!

Otherwise, one must enter the mother nest, where energy is provided.

At the same time, the development of the clone also requires the support of the inner world!

Only by possessing an inner world can one conceive a clone.

"Only by breaking through from the Domain Lord level and evolving the life core into an inner world can the human race bear this burden!"

This is also a flaw in the seed of genes and the incarnation of talent.

Unless, one day I am able to elevate and optimize the human race to the point where, like the Golden Horned Beast, they are born with an inner world.

"However, that's enough."

"With the blessing of the Seed of Genes, the number of World Lords among the human race is increasing, and it is approaching one trillion World Lords."

"The fifth-generation gene seed can be released."

"The era of human beings having multiple bodies has arrived."
