Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 356 The Direction of the Seed of Genes

"Incredible! The first person to complete the bloodline transformation and become a life form with ten times the genetic power was actually the Lord of the Divine Kingdom."

It even successfully nurtured special life forms like the Tree of Life.

Inside the Chaos Void, the Chaos City Lord and Qin Mu walked within the Mother Nest.

As he walked, Qin Mu's body appeared somewhat ethereal, as if it were a projection.

"Qin Mu, do you know what this means?"

The Lord of Chaos looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu nodded; of course he knew.

"This means that as long as the seed of the gene exists."

Whether they are humans from the Cosmic Kingdom, humans from the Secret Realm, or humans from the Divine Kingdom, they all possess the same potential.

The overall potential of the human race, and the potential population size that may produce powerful individuals in the future, is a thousand times, even ten thousand times greater.

"In the past, even I did not have a good opinion of the human race in the Kingdom of God."

Because of the low potential, even if one becomes immortal, the possibility of becoming a Venerable is extremely low.

However, with the talent of creating clones, he gave birth to the Tree of Life clone and possessed the talent of controlling space and time.

Even becoming the master of the universe would give him a sliver of hope.

This greatly elevated the status of humans within the divine realm.

There was a sigh in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord.

"Only a very small number of people are able to complete more than ten bloodline evolutions."

However, on the path to becoming the strongest, they've reached the same starting line.

Qin Mu smiled and said that this was something he was happy to see.

"The current number of world rulers in the human race is approximately one trillion."

If even one in ten thousand of them can evolve into a peak bloodline with ten times the genetic power, that would still amount to tens of millions!

It's unbelievable to think that someone could possess the talent of creating clones, like the Tree of Life.

There aren't that many clones in the entire primordial universe combined!

And how many years has it been?

The power of the Seed of Genes has not yet been fully unleashed.

How many cosmic rulers will emerge billions of years from now?

The Lord of Chaos City was extremely pleased, and his joy was not concealed in the slightest.

"The seed of genes has given the human race a space for advancement."

However, the gene seed has reached its limit in terms of gene multiplication.

Qin Mu's eyes held both joy and a touch of melancholy.

This was his first study that changed the human race, and he was filled with mixed emotions.

Given his expertise in genetics, he could easily develop sixth and seventh generations to further enhance the gene count.

But it's unnecessary.

The fifth generation already possesses clones.

For a genius who has risen from countless battles, undergone more than a dozen transformations, and possesses the talent of creating clones, it is no longer worthwhile to engage in life-or-death struggles.

Even in the Giant Axe Arena, top geniuses are not allowed to engage in life-or-death battles in regular combat.

If we really did that, the entire Giant Axe Arena might produce a few top geniuses, but the rest would all die.

The next step is for the Nirvana Temple to help them improve.

This is obviously much more cost-effective.

However, Qin Mu did not intend to completely abandon the Seed of Genes, but the direction needed to be changed.

For example, instead of focusing on increasing gene density, we could change it to improving evolutionary probability!

Whether it's the evolution of an apprentice-level bloodline or the evolution from a world lord-level bloodline to ten times the genetic potential, the evolution rate is still too low.

Especially for those with a World Lord-level bloodline, the ratio to ten times the gene is less than one in ten thousand.

Furthermore, the accompanying talent information, etc., have not yet been completed.

There are still many directions that can be explored.

"That's enough. This is the greatest work of an apothecary since the birth of the entire primordial universe."

The Lord of Chaos City praised without reservation.

"The Seed of Genes is one path to advancement, but it's not the only one."

If we want the entire human race to achieve the genetic ascension I mentioned, relying solely on the seed of genes is not feasible.

Therefore, besides the Seed of Genes, the next focus can be on bio-armor, especially low-level bio-armor.

That's something that could allow the entire human race to evolve.

Qin Mu simply smiled and nodded in response to the praise from the Lord of Chaos City.

The two walked through the mother nest, chatting about things within their tribe.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of a fleshy chamber.

The Lord of Chaos City also looked over there, where an immortal who had just withdrawn from the extraterrestrial battlefield and come to enhance his gene multiplier was located.

"Unfortunately, I was born too early and missed the opportunity to create a clone because I didn't catch up with the Seed of Genes."

Inside the stone chamber disguised as a flesh and blood cavity, the immortal, who had just undergone a genetic transformation, lay resting and sighing.

Not only do they have the opportunity to possess the talent of creating clones, but the human race has even prepared special life forms like the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life.

It is enormous in size, can provide endless divine power, can suppress divine kingdoms, and even has the heaven-defying talent to control time and space.

How could he not be envious?

There's nothing we can do about it.

The fifth-generation gene seed, while capable of transforming the user's bloodline, is only applicable to those below the Immortal level.

The ability to create clones is also only applicable to those below the Immortal level.

"Beyond Immortality? Is it impossible to create clones?"

Is there any special method that allows a person to create clones while still immortal?

Qin Mu also looked at the Chaos City Lord teacher.

"To achieve immortality, the inner world shatters and merges with spatial fragments to form a divine kingdom."

Without the inner world, it is naturally impossible to create a clone.

Moreover, upon achieving immortality, the spiritual imprint is completely integrated into the divine body, making it impossible to separate them anymore.

As far as I know, there's probably no way to solve this.

The Lord of Chaos City explained.

"That's true. After becoming immortal, one no longer has an inner world."

"Brother Guiyi doesn't have a clone, and I once wanted to help him."

Qin Mu also sighed.

"After achieving immortality, the divine body can also be split, right?"

"Severing the divine body, dividing it in two, wouldn't that achieve a similar effect to separating the spiritual imprint?"

Although he knew it was unlikely, Qin Mu still asked.

He remembered the time in the original timeline when Luo Feng killed Hu Yanbo's enemy, the Demon Hand King Salop.

Nasalapus used the method of divine body cutting to gain a life-saving method similar to creating clones.

"It's different. It's like splitting the divine body. For example, the divine body is split into two, one of which has 40% of the divine body and the other has 60% of the divine body."

The 60% immortal divine body possesses only one-tenth of its strength in its perfect state.

As for the 40% immortal divine body, it is even weaker... Under these circumstances, the combat power of the two split divine bodies is obviously much weaker.

It's simply not worth the effort.

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head.

"The divine body splits, and the two split divine bodies sense each other, so neither of the split divine bodies can recover."

Of these, 40% are immortal divine bodies, and no matter how much one cultivates, the percentage will always remain at 40%.

Only when one of the split divine bodies perishes will the other gradually and slowly recover, taking a long time to return to its perfect state.

By splitting one's soul in two, one can achieve a similar effect to creating a clone.

One dies, the other still lives.

But the risk is too great.

Furthermore, the soul of a split divine body is weakened, and once an enemy gains 'soul control' over one of the split divine bodies, the entire body will be under control.

Weak!

They are more easily controlled by spirits!

"Those in the immortal stage cannot have clones; even special life forms cannot do that."

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head. He was pleased with Qin Mu's idea, but it was clearly unrealistic.

"Hmm, it seems that this won't work for the time being."

Qin Mu did not ask any further questions.

He wasn't actually very familiar with the ability to create clones; he mainly relied on imitating the Golden Horned Beast.

Perhaps after I fully understand the talent of clones, I will make a breakthrough in my research on the essence of the divine body.

Only then would it be possible to propose methods like the "hundred-fold gene breakthrough method," which exploits loopholes in the laws of the universe.

With that, Qin Mu stopped worrying about it.

They continued forward until they reached the very bottom of the mother nest, in a colossal flesh and blood chamber with a diameter of approximately 20,000 miles.

Through Qin Mu's continuous adjustments and optimizations, the size of the mother nest has become larger and larger, especially the mother nest placed in the Chaos Void after special adjustments.

The largest one has a diameter of 50,000 kilometers.

Within the flesh and blood chamber, a colossal human body, approximately ten thousand miles tall, was being conceived.

From the outside, they look almost exactly like Qin Mu's Earthlings.

It's just that its size has been enlarged countless times.

"Is this your body going to be?"

If you're going to the Ancestral God Cult, you're making too much of a spectacle of yourself.

Although I prepared detailed identity information for you in a secret realm outside human territory.

But this is too similar to your human body. Even if it's a disguise for a special life form, it's impossible to fool those people.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at the enormous body with a hint of curiosity in his expression.

He knew that Qin Mu would not leave such a big flaw.

"Appearance is not important; to me, it can be changed at will."

Qin Mu said with a smile, and the illusory figure disappeared, his voice coming from the mouth of the colossal creature that spanned tens of thousands of miles.

As they spoke, the body, which was ten thousand miles tall, began to shrink, becoming the same size as the Chaos City Lord, who was three meters tall.

At the same time, a single horn grew on his head, and wings and a tail grew on his back.

"This time, I plan to go to the Ancestral God Cult as a special life form of immortality, which will naturally make me distance myself from the human race on the surface."

When studying the first-generation perfect divine body, which is now the Hive Tyrant, its appearance was fixed.

The ability to transform was later acquired thanks to the Iceberg Beast's innate talent: the Transformation Technique.

But now, it doesn't need to be so complicated.

Given Qin Mu's control over himself, he could modify things at will.

However, when the body shrinks, it will have a certain impact on combat power.

During the century-long research on the Seed of Genes in Chaos City, he was also modifying and upgrading his own body.

Now, it has been completely transformed into a second-generation perfect divine body.

Achieve 2600 times the gene potential without activating Blood Crystal!

Unfortunately, although he still possessed the power of the Blood Crystal within him, even after activating it, the power could only be increased by 6000 times.

In essence, it doesn't significantly improve combat effectiveness.

All that can be said is that, having broken free from its dependence on Blood Crystal, its body has become even larger.

After breaking through to immortality, the divine body became even larger.

"It's good that you're prepared."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded; he trusted Qin Mu completely.

"These are the other three treasures, not too powerful, just reaching the level of treasures."

Compared to the Xuanbing Palace and the Star Spear, it is a level below.

This identity is for your self-defense.

As he spoke, he waved his hand and took out a miniature palace made entirely of blue stone, a weapon shaped like a battle sword, and a set of bronze armor.

Qin Mu accepted it without hesitation.

The Xuanbing Palace and the Star Spear have both been exposed within the Star Tower area, so they are indeed not suitable for use in public.

Originally, I planned to use any two valuable treasures, but of course, it would be better to have a supreme treasure.

As for the soul defense treasure, he didn't need it; that thing had never been exposed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Thank you, Teacher Xie."
