Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 357 Departure and the Birth of the Terran Swarm

Lying in the flesh and blood chamber of the mother nest, Qin Mu carefully sensed every inch of the newborn body's changes.

Compared to its original body with 100 times the genetic potential, it has now evolved to have 2600 times the genetic potential, resulting in significant improvements in all aspects.

It includes not only the physical body, but also the pronucleus!

The more powerful a special life form is, the larger its internal world tends to be.

Like the phantom whale, its internal world spans a staggering 100 billion kilometers.

"With the current strength of my primordial core, I feel no strain at all in supporting this internal world with a diameter of nearly 10 billion kilometers. It's very easy."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

The internal world is not static, but closely related to the pronucleus.

As the core that carries the inner world, the stronger the primordial core, the more powerful the inner world it can carry.

The larger the internal world, the greater the pressure on the pronucleus.

Similarly, breaking through the primordial core to become immortal will be even more difficult.

……

The world inside the body.

A vast world laid out like the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), with the Tree of Life standing 600 million kilometers high on its core continent.

Throughout the inner world, especially in the peripheral areas, piles of cosmic crystal mountains appeared out of thin air. As the cosmic crystal mountains melted, a large amount of world power spread out and began to merge into this inner world.

After the endless power of the world was absorbed by the 'inner world', it made the inner world like a thirsty child, desperately devouring it.

Rumble~~ Rumble~~ The heavens and earth trembled.

Keep getting bigger and bigger...

As expected, the inner world began to expand.

"The best way to expand your inner world isn't with cosmic crystals, but with various treasures!"

Qin Mu felt a surge of excitement.

Like the Golden Horned Beast, it devours metal to expand its internal world.

After absorbing the metal, some of the purest essence of metal that the inner world could not absorb would gather on the 'Golden Horn Boundary Stone'.

Furthermore, the essence of gold will also transform the original nucleus, making it stronger and naturally able to support a larger internal world.

This is a mutually reinforcing process.

Qin Mu's second-stage perfect body is composed of genes from the twelve evolved peak bloodline star beasts, including the Golden Horned Beast.

Unlike the Golden Horned Beast, which can expand its internal world simply by absorbing metal.

Qin Mu also needs treasures with other attributes, such as special rocks, trees, water, fire, and even the essence of wind, time, and lightning!

Because his inner world is the same as the fundamental law he has mastered, and it possesses all ten attributes!

Given Qin Mu's current status, these resources are nothing to him; his mother nest already stores a massive amount of basic resources.

With a thought, a world ring filled with various treasures was quickly delivered to Qin Mu, who then threw it directly into his inner world.

woohoo~~~

Countless treasures were crushed and digested by the power of the world, and countless wisps of mist spread out and were then absorbed by the inner world, which began to expand wildly!

At the same time, his protocore is becoming more and more stable.

A full month later.

"A diameter of 800 billion kilometers has reached its limit."

Qin Mu's enormous body, which was tens of thousands of miles tall, opened its eyes and emitted a thunderous roar.

"His strength is now greater than before, but it will be more difficult for him to break through to immortality."

However, Qin Mu didn't feel much about it, because these were complementary.

"The potential that can be tapped in the second stage of the perfect divine body is already limited. Even if it evolves to the most ideal perfect state, the inner world can only reach 1000 billion kilometers at most."

To undergo another transformation, there would need to be a breakthrough in genetic multiplication, such as the completion of the third stage of the Perfect Divine Body Project.

Qin Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and his enormous body began to shrink rapidly.

Modifying the body's genes and internal world to restore the original body would be more suitable, but such a large body would be very inconvenient to move around in.

"Preparations in all aspects are complete; it's time to head to the Ancestral God Sect."

A token appeared in his hand, a hexagonal token the size of a human palm.

On the token stands a strange, upright beast, its head raised and roaring.

Qin Mu's heart stirred when he saw the ferocious beast carving on the stone tablet.

Because the metal plaque was engraved with a beast god statue that resembled a giant unicorn lizard, and this engraving was the beast god statue of the Blood Luo world.

However, they were clearly not as clear as the fifteen statues that Qin Mu had obtained, and they did not even contain the laws of fusion.

A wisp of invisible mental energy flew out and quickly entered the hexagonal token. The moment the mental energy penetrated in, it was as if one had entered an ancient world.

"Bear the Beast God Inheritance Token and proceed to the Inheritance Land. If your talent, aptitude, and abilities match, you may obtain the Beast God's inheritance. The cosmic coordinates of the Inheritance Land are..."

A message directly entered Qin Mu's mind, describing the hexagonal token as the Beast God's Inheritance Token, a fusion of the laws of "Gold and Space".

There are eight types of Beast God inheritance.

These are the eight principles of fusion: 'Metal, Space', 'Wood, Space', 'Earth, Space', 'Water, Space', 'Fire, Space', 'Light, Time', 'Wind, Time', and 'Lightning, Time'.

Although Qin Mu has mastered all ten fundamental laws, he has only made some progress in the integration of laws, particularly in the areas of metal and space.

The reason for this is, of course, the fifteen Beast God statues obtained from the Blood Luo World.

For a time, Qin Mu had a large group of golden-horned giant beasts study the artistic conception of the beast god statue, so they made considerable progress in the fusion of the laws of gold and space.

However, it was later discovered that it was not very useful to themselves or the swarm, so they invested very little energy and resources.

Qin Mu had even gifted the fifteen Beast God statues to his clan through his Chaos City Lord teacher.

The statue is now displayed in Chaos City for people to contemplate.

"The third phase of the Perfect Divine Body Project has begun."

Unlike the past, which centered around the twelve peak-bloodline star beasts, the third generation centers around special life forms with stronger beast god bloodlines, such as the Illusion Whale.

It is supplemented by twelve peak bloodline stars and other special life forms.

The goal of the third-generation perfect divine body is to reach at least 6000 times the genetic potential and fully integrate the ten fundamental laws.

The Ancestral God Cult is the easiest source of the materials you need.

Qin Mu toyed with the Beast God Token in his hand.

The Beast God Token is as valuable as a supreme treasure, and its quantity is not large among the race.

Before breaking through to the next level, even if one wanted to obtain a True King for billions of years, it would be impossible.

For Qin Mu, it was just a matter of saying hello.

Not only this gold and spatial beast god token, he also reserved seven other tokens with other attributes.

Once he arrives at the Ancestral God Sect, if the inheritance proves useful to him, he will arrange for seven other avatars to enter the Ancestral God Sect and receive the inheritance.

After flying out of the mother nest, Qin Mu landed near the Lord of Chaos City.

The Lord of Chaos City sat cross-legged, arranging something with Venerable Guiyi.

"Master, your disciple is ready and intends to go to the Ancestral God Sect."

Qin Mu said respectfully.

"Hmm, this is the identity information assigned to you. It is located in a remote cosmic secret realm, extremely far from my human race."

I will first send you to the secret realm of the universe, where you can familiarize yourself with it a little.

Then you can go to the Ancestral God Cult on your own.

As the Lord of Chaos spoke, he transmitted a message through the virtual universe.

"Thank you for your help, teacher."

Qin Mu quickly thanked him.

Since the goal is to impersonate a special life form, then the performance must be thorough, and every detail must be perfect.

With the Chaos City Lord as my teacher, and even the founder of the Giant Axe making a move, as long as I'm careful, there are almost no loopholes in this identity.

Special life forms, especially those with extremely high genetic diversity, are sought after everywhere.

Without the constraints of human identity, it becomes much easier to do things one wants.

……

A hazy, azure light, like the sea, enveloped the surroundings, and Qin Mu and the Lord of Chaos City, both enveloped by this light, vanished simultaneously.

Using the divine realm as a transit point, and after several relocations, they soon arrived at a secluded place far beyond the borders of humanity.

"This secret realm is one that I discovered by chance, and there are indeed special life forms inside."

However, a long time ago, this special life form was captured and possessed.

The Lord of Chaos City said, and with a wave of his hand, he tore a rift in space. After the spatial teleportation, the two of them appeared in the sky above an incredibly vast secret realm continent.

"This secret realm has a maximum diameter of 26 light-years, which is considered small among the secret realms in the universe. The danger of the entire secret realm is average, and even immortal gods can venture into it."

Apart from the nine extremely dangerous areas, the other areas of the secret realm are relatively low in danger, posing a threat only to ordinary immortals.

The continent we are on is the largest in the secret realm, with a diameter of about one light-year.

Very few people know about this secret place, so I'm entrusting it to you now.

The rest of the information, you can look at it yourself.

Qin Mu smiled and nodded. In fact, the Chaos City Lord had told him this information before, but he still briefly mentioned it again.

A secret cosmic realm can range in size from tens of thousands of light-years in diameter to millions or even hundreds of millions of light-years in diameter.

Leaving aside the exaggerated super cosmic secret realms spanning hundreds of millions of light-years, even a diameter of several million light-years would take millions of years to penetrate at the speed of light!

To fully explore it, it would probably take billions of attempts... Moreover, even with careful and meticulous exploration, the real danger might not be detected. How can you detect danger when light is flying by at the speed of light?

"Teacher Xie, then this secret realm is the place where 'I' was born."

Qin Mu looked around, examined the surroundings, and then smiled.

This is an extremely vast continent, so vast that it seems to stretch endlessly into the distance.

Unlike the Blood Luo Continent he had visited before, the clouds on this continent were extremely thin, allowing him to clearly see the dark earth below, the continuous mountain ranges, and the numerous meteorite craters.

The continuous mountain range is also home to volcanoes that erupt from time to time. The "volcanic ash" they spew forms umbrella-shaped plumes that can reach heights of tens of thousands of kilometers.

This is a continent covered with volcanoes, churning lava, and a hideous appearance.

Clearly, such an environment would make it almost impossible for large-scale ethnic groups to emerge.

"Although the environment is harsh, it's perfect for disguising one's identity."

He will thoroughly explore this hidden place and truly transform it into a private garden.

This is not something that can be accomplished in a short time; it can only be done gradually over time.

Although the teacher said the risk was moderate, that was after excluding dangerous areas.

Even cosmic beings are at risk of perishing in the nine dangerous zones.

"Now it's up to you."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, and then his figure vanished as if he had been there.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

whoosh-

After the Lord of Chaos left, Qin Mu's body immediately plummeted to the massive land below.

"This secret realm belongs to the insect swarm."

However, since the goal is to disguise themselves, they cannot be a swarm in the conventional sense; they must be distinguished from the Zerg swarm.

So let's create a new swarm strain here.

Perhaps I should call it the Tyranid Swarm?
