Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 353 The Terrifying Fifth Generation Gene Seed

As the war between the human race and the three dominant races—the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race—intensifies on the extraterritorial battlefield, the casualties are becoming increasingly severe.

However, the strength of the human race did not decline; on the contrary, it became even stronger.

The reason, of course, is the seed of genes!

In the past, among the 1008 advanced universe nations of humanity, each universe nation had only a few million realm lords, and the total number of realm lords in all universe nations combined would not exceed 10 billion.

The real majority actually belong to the Lords of the Secret Realm and the Lords of the Divine Kingdom.

Even if all of these are added together, the total amount will not exceed 500 billion.

But the one with the real potential is the realm lord living in the universe kingdom.

But that was before the seed of genes was born!

How vast is an advanced cosmic nation?

Taking the Qianwu Universe Kingdom as an example, its territory covers more than 13,000 star fields and has more than 100 million star systems!

How vast is a galaxy?

Hundreds of thousands of light-years in diameter

Its population is trillions!

Despite such a large population, not a single world lord could be born.

Let alone world lords, even on average, there are only about ten universe-level beings in a single galaxy.

The proportion of strong individuals emerging from it is extremely low.

And nine out of ten of these powerful individuals were born into clans with strong bloodlines.

As for the largest group of lower bloodlines, it is almost impossible for them to produce cosmic-level powerhouses.

But what happens after we have the seed of genes?

By constantly engaging in life-or-death battles, one can potentially undergo a bloodline transformation during combat!

Even those of lower bloodlines can transform and become powerful if they dare to fight and risk their lives.

Moreover, low-level bloodline powerhouses who evolve through the seed of genes will become even stronger through countless battles!

Although the chances of a gene seed undergoing a bloodline transformation are not high, the sheer number of humans is overwhelming.

On an ordinary planet, the population can easily reach tens of billions.

Evolving to the cosmic level, domain lord level, or even higher realm lord level is difficult, but reaching the planetary level or eternal level is not difficult.

Those who can complete bloodline evolution are all honed in life-or-death battles!

This resulted in the creation of cosmic-level organisms, which are now hundreds of thousands, even millions of times more numerous than in the past!

Over the past thousand years, on average, the number of universe-level galaxies in a single galaxy has exceeded one million.

The cosmic level is a watershed moment.

The cosmic level is the minimum standard for entering extraterritorial battlefields.

Once the gene seed reaches the cosmic level, it can transform into a humanoid cosmic behemoth, increasing its combat power by more than ten times.

Looking at the entire primordial universe, it is considered quite powerful.

Especially after multiple evolutions, the possibility of further evolution will continue to increase.

This has led to a rapid increase in the number of Domain Lords and Realm Lords among the human race.

Even in the battlefields beyond our borders, the intensity of the war is increasing, and a massive number of human soldiers are dying in battle.

However, such wars also produced a large number of fierce generals who emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

It can be said that the emergence of the first to fourth generations of the gene seed not only gave hope to the bottom of the human race, but also directly led to a crazy increase in the overall potential of mankind.

The three most powerful races that fought against humanity felt this most acutely.

It is precisely because they are aware of the potential of the Seed of Genes that they have launched a campaign to suppress and intercept the human race, attempting to wipe out the human race through war.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the Zerg swarm dashed their hopes.

On the battlefield, thousands of legions, trillions of Zerg swarms, and countless cannon fodder units stood at the forefront.

The extremely intense warfare not only caused the Zerg swarm to evolve wildly on the battlefield, but also gave the human race the opportunity to develop.

And what about the fifth generation of gene seed?

This is another qualitative change!

The fourth-generation gene seed can actually be described as a world lord-level bloodline.

After countless bloody battles, in terms of bloodline alone, he is actually comparable to the Zerg Queen.

However, the fifth generation can increase the genetic diversity of the human population by tenfold!

Both his physique and talent have reached the level of a peak bloodline star beast!

It completely surpasses any other race among the six top races.

What is the pinnacle of bloodline?

That is the strongest bloodline in the primordial universe that can naturally give birth to a race.

Above that, they are called special life forms.

It is precisely because of this extraordinary bloodline that the Starry Sky Beast Alliance has become one of the nine super powers in the universe!

The number of cosmic lords is greater than the human race!

How many star behemoths, especially those with peak bloodline, are there?

Even immortals with endless lifespans might not encounter one in their entire lifetime!

But despite their extremely small number and lack of fixed territory, they have become one of the nine super powers in the universe!

This is the deterrent power of the strongest bloodline.

From this day forward, the seed of the strongest bloodline will be born among the human race!

Standing in the chaotic void, Qin Mu looked out into the endless void.

As if following the gaze, the will descended upon the front line of the extraterritorial battlefield.

Extraterritorial battlefield, the seventh battlefield.

On the continent of Yanji, surrounded by a fungal carpet stretching for hundreds of millions of kilometers, a colossal fortress, approximately 100,000 kilometers high, stands tall.

Inside the war fortress, a cacophony of voices erupted as powerful human warriors roared with excitement.

They excitedly opened the military system of the virtual universe network, where a huge title appeared: The Fifth Generation Seed of Genes Released!

When they finished watching the fifth generation of the gene seed, everyone was thrilled.

"The fifth-generation gene seed, after countless life-or-death battles, allows its bloodline genes to evolve once more!"

"A Realm Lord-level powerhouse can use the fifth-generation gene seed to evolve their bloodline to 10 times its genetic potential, reaching a combat range of one thousand kilometers, comparable to a true peak-bloodline star beast!"

"After reaching the maximum of ten times the gene potential, you can choose another talent."

A powerful human realm lord, carrying a warhammer, with incredibly strong muscles and exuding a powerful aura of killing intent, read the published information with delight.

"My God! Warhammer, look, you can even choose the clone talent!"

Beside him, a leaner human realm lord, barely suppressing his excitement, navigated to the talent page that the Seed of Genes could select.

There aren't many talents listed on the page, only a few dozen.

But the first talent on the talent page was actually the talent – ​​Clone Technique!

Furthermore, the description following the clone clearly states that the innate clone technique comes from the peak bloodline star beast—the Golden Horned Beast!

The description of the innate clone technique is very simple: it can create three clones!

Below the innate ability to create clones, there are other equally powerful abilities such as time freeze and space blockade.

But when people see this talent, almost everyone's first choice is the ability to create clones!

The reason is very simple.

Because behind the clone technique, there is a page link that records the clones that can be created after the bloodline evolves to ten times the genetic potential and the clone talent is selected.

All twelve peak-bloodline star beasts were listed.

But what excites them even more is that there are over a hundred different special life forms to choose from!

Special life!

What's even more chilling is that, as long as you have enough military merits and wealth, you can choose to exchange for the scales, claws, and feathers of special life forms from the military merit system and nurture them.

The burly world lord known as Warhammer looked greedily at the list of special beings.

Tree of Life: 300 times the level of life genes. Talented in controlling space and time; the adult Tree of Life can reach 600 million kilometers! After fully developing this talent, the range of space and time control can reach 6000 million kilometers!

It belongs to the limit of life forms that can be conceived by the clone talent.

Yao Guang Tiger: Life gene level 300 times. Innate Yao Guang, body length approximately 100 li! Innate Yao Guang, its attack power is extremely terrifying…

……

Thunderous Beast: 200 times the level of life genes, nearly 10,000 miles in length...

Netherworld Venomous Python: 200 times the level of life genes...

……

Vortex Mountain: A special life form made of rocks in a mountain range that stretches for millions of kilometers, with a life gene level 100 times higher.

Wind and Thunder Scorpion Insect: 100 times the level of life genes, a special energy-type life form...

……

Crazy! Utterly crazy!

Looking at those incredibly terrifying special life forms, Warhammer was stunned, his heart filled with a series of shocking waves.

God!

It can nurture special life forms of the level of the Tree of Life!

Although it was noted that nurturing a top-tier special life form like the Tree of Life requires an incredibly long time, measured in millennia.

At the same time, if a Tree of Life is nurtured, it will make breaking through to the Immortal level even more difficult.

But a thousand years is nothing to a world lord whose lifespan is limited to 1000 epochs (10081000 years).

As for making a breakthrough, that would be even more difficult?

What's that!

Who doesn't know that the deeper one's foundation, the stronger one's strength will be after a breakthrough?

That's the Tree of Life, which possesses the talent to control space and time!

With an avatar of this caliber, even a realm lord could easily suppress a king-level immortal.

Having spent many years in the battlefields beyond the realm, many people already know that Behemoth's domain talent is the ability to control space and time!

That's a terrifying existence that even a World Lord-level being can kill a Sealed King like a dog.

Even more insane is that this clone can actually produce three!

The cost of obtaining these special life clones is not high; it only requires 1 Chaos Yuan.

Because all that's needed to create clones is a few scales and fur.

For example, if you want to nurture a tree of life, all you need is a single leaf.

For a tree of life that is over 600 million kilometers long, providing it to the entire human race would be no problem at all.

Compared to the clone talent, the appeal of the other talents is almost zero!

On the battlefield, who doesn't know that if you're stronger, you can buy armor?

A single piece of armor can grant multiple powerful talents, such as time freeze and space blockade, all of which can be achieved through armor.

However, since the talent for creating clones is different, it can only be carried by oneself.

What's even more terrifying is that once you have a clone, the chances of dying in a war on an extraterritorial battlefield become extremely low.

Even in the fiercest battle, as long as a clone is left in the war fortress or behind the tribe, there is almost no possibility of them falling.

Warhammer suppressed his excitement and redirected the page for the fifth-generation Geneseed to the purchase page.

He felt a sense of unease.

Because the first three generations of gene seeds are quite good, and the price is very cheap, anyone can afford them.

However, the fourth-generation gene seed is more expensive, requiring 1 Mixed Yuan.

The fourth-generation gene seed allows you to directly select a powerful talent, and the price of 1 Mixed Yuan is really cheap.

However, the fifth-generation gene seed is obviously much more powerful than the fourth generation, which makes him worry that the price of the fifth-generation gene seed will be even more expensive and beyond his means.

Of course, no matter how expensive it was, he secretly made a decision in his heart: he would buy it at any cost.

But when he saw the price, he was stunned.

He discovered that the price of the fifth-generation gene seed was extremely low, almost the same as that of the first generation.

That's a price that anyone can afford!

"Good heavens, the entire human race is going to go crazy, won't those alien races go mad too?"

Warhammer swallowed hard, as if he could see endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

But there was no fear in his eyes; instead, they became extremely fanatical.

Only a more intense battle can allow him to complete his evolution!

After decisively making the purchase, he turned back and carefully read all the detailed information about the fifth-generation gene seed in the announcement.

As he meticulously examined the document, almost word by word, he discovered that the fifth-generation gene seed was extremely similar to the previous three generations, except that it offered a possibility of evolution!

However, its effects are more powerful than the previous three generations.

The fifth-generation gene seed is not only useful to world lords, but to everyone!

Furthermore, evolution in lower-level bloodlines is easier than in the original ones.

For example, evolving from a planetary-level bloodline to a celestial-level bloodline is at least half as difficult as it used to be.

Choosing a talent no longer requires purchasing the gene seed containing that talent separately.

Instead, when they evolve to the cosmic level, an extremely special talent tree will be activated within their bodies.

On that talent tree, you can choose freely, almost exactly the same as the demon evolution in the Abyss of Purgatory.

In fact, this is the true way of evolution.

This is why Qin Mu said that the fourth-generation gene seed is just a transitional product.

With the fifth generation of gene seed, the previous four generations can be directly eliminated.

However, it is extremely difficult to evolve from a World Lord-level bloodline to one with 10 times the genetic potential.

It is more difficult than all the previous evolutions combined, requiring three transformations to achieve.

Even for those powerful World Lords who have evolved to the World Lord level bloodline through countless bloody battles, the success rate is no more than one in ten thousand!

"I'm going to the battlefield, the battlefield where the fighting is fiercest!"

Warhammer gripped his weapon tightly and looked at his comrade beside him.

"Okay, let's go together!"

Beside him, the leaner realm lord also revealed a ruthless glint in his eyes.

During the millennia-long bloody war, almost everyone on the battlefields beyond the borders was injected with the seed of genes.

In particular, these powerful realm lords have almost all evolved to realm lord-level bloodlines, reaching the limit of the gene seed.

Those who have reached this level are all people with unwavering will.

They would give it their all, no matter how slim the chance of success, as long as it allowed them to evolve again!

If successful, they can become among the most powerful even in the immortal realm.

Soon, their entire squad made a similar decision.

Such scenes were commonplace throughout the entire war fortress.

Not only the human race, but also most of the races in the Hong Alliance during the millennia-long blood war, received quotas of Gene Seeds.

They were also roaring wildly, venting their ecstatic joy.

The fact that the human race was able to withstand the pressure from the three major alliances is also largely due to the contributions of the powerful figures within the Hong Alliance.

Inside a specially designed hall in the war fortress, which stretched for thousands of miles in length, width, and height, thousands of colossal cosmic beasts, each at least a hundred kilometers in size, roared excitedly.

As allies of the human race, these colossal cosmic beasts that participated in the war were also injected with the gene seed.

Even during the war, they completed more than one evolution, and were just one step away from evolving into true peak bloodline star behemoths!

This is why, even though they know the Gene Seed originated from the Starry Sky Beasts, the entire Starry Sky Beast Alliance still spares no effort in supporting the human race and becoming a staunch ally of humanity.

The number of star beasts with peak bloodlines is far too small.

If ordinary bloodlines and powerful bloodlines can evolve into peak bloodline star behemoths, the strength of the Star Behemoth Alliance will increase at least several times over after a long period of time!

Through communication between the high-ranking officials of humanity and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, they even proactively sent a batch of Starry Sky Beasts as research materials for the Gene Seed.

The only requirement is to make the gene seed more suitable for the star behemoth!

In fact, without the support of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, which is the strongest beast god in the universe, and numerous universe lords, there would be no way to achieve this.

It's not so easy for humans and the Hongmeng alone to intimidate the three major alliances.

Qin Mu's will descended into the body of a Zergling Tyrant within the war fortress. Standing atop the fortress, looking at the incredibly fanatical crowd, he murmured to himself.

"Evolution is about to begin!"
