Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 355 The Era of Human Race's Doppelgangers Begins

"For a realm lord to fight against an immortal is an extremely rare thing in the past."

However, with the popularization of the fifth-generation gene seed, it has become increasingly common.

The battle between the human race and the lower ranks of the demon race has truly reversed.

Qin Mu's will traversed the entire extraterrestrial battlefield, watching as a human realm lord transformed into a humanoid star beast about 300 kilometers tall on the White Sand Continent in the first battlefield, forcefully killing a demon immortal, and he sighed inwardly.

Before the Seed of Genes was born, although the human race in the extraterrestrial battlefield was not besieged by the three major races, they often suffered losses when encountering races like the demon race.

Especially in military battles, at least twice the number of troops are needed to contend with the demon race.

But now?

Offense and defense are easily interchangeable!

Not to mention the top-tier World Lord level bloodlines and the increase in gene multiplier.

Once one reaches the cosmic-level bloodline, one can possess a humanoid star beast combat form, suppressing the vast majority of demon races.

In today's extraterrestrial battlefields, how many have reached the level of cosmic-level bloodlines?

Uncountable!

Once the two sides start fighting, almost instantly, more than half of the human population will transform into combat form, becoming even more demonic than the demon race!

Especially those humanoid cosmic behemoths that charged at the very front, each hundreds of kilometers long, completely overwhelmed the entire field.

It has become commonplace for a Realm Lord to fight against Immortals whose bloodlines have evolved to the Realm Lord level.

Many realm lords who are pursuing breakthroughs often deliberately seek out powerful alien immortals.

"In just over two years, more than 100,000 people have completed the second stage of evolution."

We are just one step away from a life form with ten times the genetic potential.

Qin Mu looked at the humanoid star beast that spanned 300 kilometers and a smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.

But the next moment, his face darkened.

On the battlefield, a demon immortal exuding at least the peak of the King-level realm suddenly charged towards the realm lord, slashing down fiercely with his sword.

The blade light suddenly expanded to a distance of a thousand miles, carrying an unparalleled aura, aiming to kill the realm lord.

boom!

A hive guard, six thousand kilometers long and tall, dressed in a suit and resembling a six-armed giant, suddenly appeared before the flash of the blade.

He wielded a giant warhammer, smashing the blades to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, he engaged in battle with the peak-level demon king.

"These three major races dare not truly wage war against the human race, yet they want to hinder the development of the human race; they have already lost all shame."

Qin Mu looked at the human realm master who had survived the calamity and quickly hid in the battle formation.

When the fifth generation of gene seeds was fully deployed and the human race was thriving, the three major alliance races of the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race also began to retaliate.

According to the Chaos City Lord, battles between beings at the level of the Universe Lord have occurred several times in secret.

However, they maintained restraint and there was no real life-or-death struggle.

The founder of the Giant Axe also met and talked with the old beast god of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, and clashed with the top echelons of the three major race alliances.

The specific outcome is unknown.

But a large-scale war ultimately did not break out.

The conflict between world lords who can selectively hunt human populations to complete their bloodline transformation is becoming increasingly intense.

Even the most talented humans, no matter how much their bloodline evolves, are almost powerless against powerful beings at the high or even peak levels of the King rank.

Indeed, a considerable number of geniuses among the human race were killed in the hunt by these powerful individuals.

The unspoken rule of fighting soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals has long been abandoned.

All they did was kill their enemies by any means necessary.

It's not just these geniuses whose bloodlines have undergone transformation.

Even the Hive Tyrant, Hive Sentinels, Leviathan, and Behemoth have been targeted and attacked more than once.

Several invincible kings, wielding sealed treasures, launched a surprise attack. Even the insect hive tyrant had no time to resist and would be captured alive.

In the midst of battle, this is difficult to avoid.

In the centuries since the Zerg Queen's attack, nearly a hundred Hive Tyrants have been captured alive!

Not to mention the Hive Sentinel, Hive Queen, and Leviathan.

When these captured Hive Tyrants, Hive Sentinels, Leviathans, and Hive Queens are sent to the rear, there are often beings of the universe, even the strongest beings in the universe, who attempt to enslave them.

Under the suppression of the Lord of the Universe, the captured Zerg units did not even have the chance to commit suicide!

Unfortunately, even when the Zerg Queen herself took action, she was helpless against the massive swarm of Zerg.

Killing them is easy, but enslaving them is simply impossible.

When enslavement fails, coercion, bribery, or cruel torture become commonplace tactics.

Of course, in addition to these, there is also research on the Zeg race.

For example, the Zerg Queen.

She personally dissected no fewer than ten of the Hive Tyrants.

"While you were studying the Zerg swarm, I was also studying you!"

A sharp glint appeared in Qin Mu's eyes.

While the Zerg Queen was studying the Hive Tyrant, wasn't the Hive Tyrant also studying and analyzing the Zerg's strongest being in the universe?

When the Zerg Queen approached the Hive Tyrant, Qin Mu could clearly smell the 'fragrance' emanating from her through the Hive Tyrant's body!

Qin Mu wished he could swallow it whole.

Not only the Zerg Queen, but through the captured Zerg swarm units, he has met almost all the Zerg cosmic overlords, including the Demons, the Mechs, and the Zerg.

They even used these Zerg units to locate many core areas of the three races.

The swarm's spy units are also infiltrating these core areas.

The results have been quite gratifying.

Especially in the key areas of the invasion, within the territory of the demon race, a considerable number of races have been replaced by insect swarms!

Furthermore, the insect swarm even discovered a secret cosmic realm within the territory of the demon race.

Although the secret realm wasn't particularly large, only about the size of a galaxy, it was enough for the insect swarm to use it as the main base of the demon race.

"Just because we can't deal with the Zerg Queen doesn't mean we can't deal with those average alchemists."

A look of unfathomable expression appeared in Qin Mu's eyes.

Located behind the demon race, in a relatively small bloodline apothecary research lab, a hive guard was being held captive.

However, the Hive Sentinels, who should have been imprisoned, were sitting openly in the core control room of the research base.

The immortal bloodline alchemist of the demon race stood respectfully behind the insect hive guards.

During the centuries of research, a single oversight led to the immortal demon becoming a member of the insect swarm.

"In recent years, the demon race has invested a lot of resources in bloodlines and genes, but unfortunately, they haven't achieved much."

With so many resources, why not invest them in me and let me help them research some good stuff?

Qin Mu chuckled.

The research on swarm units actually began gradually from the moment they appeared on the battlefield.

In the beginning, it was mostly insect queens and demon pharmacists conducting research.

As the swarms grew stronger and received more attention, they were studied more frequently and extensively.

With the exception of Behemoth, almost all units had been captured.

Even Behemoth, a cosmic ruler, acted out of 'anger' in the name of his disciple's death.

If it weren't for the Chaos City Lord keeping a close eye on Behemoth, even Behemoth would have been captured long ago.

This is actually why Qin Mu allowed the insect swarm to slowly increase in number on the battlefield, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

After thousands of years of reproduction, the insect swarm has spread throughout the entire extraterrestrial battlefield and has truly grown up.

"The War Tree is still being debugged, but it has been greatly optimized compared to the beginning."

Their combat capabilities have also been enhanced to some extent.

Unfortunately, it still couldn't escape the detection of the universe's strongest being.

Qin Mu lowered his eyes.

Under his deliberate manipulation, the Zerg swarm's attack on the demon race in the extraterrestrial battlefield was extremely brutal.

Originally, the demon race wanted to unite with the insect race and the mechanical race to wipe out the human race. However, in just over a thousand years, the human race has not only not been wiped out.

On the contrary, they started to find it difficult to cope.

No matter how many demons there are, or how prolific they are.

Even they couldn't withstand the hunting of billions of insects.

With extremely heavy casualties, some members of the demon race are no longer willing to send their people into the outer battlefield.

To gain experience, you don't necessarily have to go to the battlefield outside the domain.

It can have a similar effect in various secret realms.

They lack the genetic seed and cannot complete bloodline evolution during the battle.

It's just a simple battle.

"Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for beings at the level of the strongest in the universe to completely fail to detect the anomaly of the War Tree."

Even though I found many special life forms with the talents of transformation and disguise, and combined their advantages, there are still some problems.

It's no longer possible to place the Ancient Tree of War into the demon realm before heading to the Ancestral God Cult.

Maybe we can give it a try when they get even more desperate, when they're at their wits' end and will try anything.

As long as they invest resources, the scale of the subsequent war-torn trees will grow larger and larger, and the sunk costs will increase, making them safer.

Qin Mu was making plans in his mind.

He ultimately underestimated the difficulty of deceiving the detection of the universe's strongest being.

However, the potential profits were too great, and Qin Mu was unwilling to let it go so easily.

Just as Qin Mu was pondering this, a message that surprised and delighted him suddenly came from the Zerg swarm's soul network.

Consciousness descended upon the seventh battlefield, the main battlefield of the Yanji Continent.

A familiar figure appeared in his sight.

"roar--"

The humanoid star beast, whose body was 300 kilometers tall, was wielding a flaming warhammer and was fighting against a demon immortal of the Marquis level.

Despite their desperate struggle, it was clear that the humanoid star beast wielding a warhammer was at a significant disadvantage.

Its scales were tattered and mangled, especially around its waist where there was a wound that looked like it had been severed.

As a realm lord, as long as the original core remains intact, the body can be repaired.

But at this moment, a divine power spread through his wounds, preventing them from healing themselves.

But just when he was in dire straits, facing the crisis of death.

He sensed a very familiar power erupting from within the Seed of Genes.

Unlike previous evolutions, the gene seed in his body completely shattered, transforming into an incredibly surging force that fully merged into his body.

Wherever that force passed, wounds healed, and the flesh and tissues throughout the body rapidly split and expanded.

Under the horrified gaze of the immortal demon clan leader, the humanoid star beast, which had been critically injured and on the verge of death, suddenly became full of power and fought him again.

The more intense the battle, the more profound his aura became.

"Hahaha!"

Sensing the eruption of the gene seed within his body, Warhammer laughed maniacally.

Amidst his maniacal laughter, his body swelled wildly, radiating an extremely violent aura.

Warhammer, already familiar with this process, continuously mobilized the power within his inner world to support the growth of his body.

At the same time, the pre-prepared cosmic crystals and treasures were quickly crushed and transformed into the purest energy to supply the evolution of genes.

How could the immortal demon clan leader just stand by and watch the transformation of 'Warhammer'?

They immediately pounced and unleashed their full power.

But how could Warhammer, which has been able to transform itself through countless life-and-death battles, not have any opportunities?

Before his transformation, he could barely contend with those who were enfeoffed as marquises.

Although the process of genetic evolution is extremely painful, enough to drive an ordinary person insane.

However, the power that erupted during the upgrade process was also extremely terrifying, enabling him to survive the attacks of the demon clan's Marquis.

In the midst of the frenzied battle, his body grew larger and larger, until it reached its peak size of a thousand miles!

In an instant, Warhammer sensed that a talent tree seemed to have appeared in his genes.

In an instant, he understood that this was the talent one could choose after their bloodline evolved to the peak of the Seed of Genes!

Without hesitation, he chose his talent—cloning!

When the talent was chosen, a strange pattern emerged from his massive body and scales.

Even on the original core, densely packed talent patterns appeared.

When all the textures are fully coupled and transformed into a perfect graphic.

In the darkness, he sensed that with his innate ability to create clones, he could create three clones.

"Finally! I did it!"

Warhammer laughs heartily.

Not only was he born with talent, but he also discovered that when his body swelled to a size of a thousand miles, the seemingly insurmountable Marquis Immortal didn't seem so terrifying anymore.

With his full power unleashed, he actually managed to suppress the Immortal Marquis!

"Die!"

Warhammer's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were bursting with endless flames.

With a single blow, he shattered the immortal divine body of the demon race, which had been granted the title of Marquis.

Despite having the advantage, Warhammer did not press its advantage but instead quickly retreated to the rear of the battlefield, disengaging from the fight.

Having attained immortality, the Marquis of Fenghou is not so easy to kill.

He completed his evolution, but it was extremely taxing, making him unsuitable for prolonged battles, as it would damage his foundation.

……

"The era of human beings becoming multiple entities has begun."

Qin Mu silently watched the 'warhammer' laughing wildly.

The first person in the human race to evolve the Seed of Genes into its final form was actually a human from a divine kingdom!

The strength shown by 'Warhammer' is already comparable to that of a top genius.

Once all his clones have been formed, like the Tree of Life, there will be a glimmer of hope that he may become the ruler of the universe.

However, this is not the worst part.

The most terrifying thing is that these top-tier geniuses, the geniuses who have the hopes of the Lord of the Universe, can be mass-produced!

"The renewal of the gene seed has reached its final stage."

"From now on, I don't need to worry about anything."

As time goes by, there will be more and more geniuses like those in Warhammer.

The rise of humankind is now unstoppable.

"Now, I need to get back to my own business."

Qin Mu said calmly.

The consciousness that had been occupying the entire extraterritorial battlefield withdrew and looked towards a mother nest within the chaotic void.

There, a body was being conceived.

His body.
