Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 359 The Power of the Ancestral God Cult

As the space shifted, everything before Qin Mu's eyes became clear.

They were still standing in the void, but the scene before them was no longer the raging black whirlwind, but an extremely beautiful view.

In the distance, an endless, colorful river surges and roars. This vast, colorful river is filled with a magical power that draws people in and makes them stare at it.

As the ruler of the swarm, how strong is Qin Mu's will?

He immediately realized something was wrong and stopped looking at the river.

"You woke up quickly." A cold voice rang out.

Qin Mu turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

In the void to the side stood a rock deity about eight meters tall.

He wore purple armor with flames wrapped around its surface, and his entire body was tinged with dark green, resembling dark green jade at first glance.

"Rock-like life forms, the Fei Cang race?"

Qin Mu's pupils contracted slightly. He was naturally familiar with the Fei Cang Clan. When he was studying the flesh-and-blood transformation of the mechanical race, he collected a large number of non-flesh-and-blood life forms, including the Fei Cang Clan.

But when this Fei Cang tribesman appeared around him, he didn't feel anything at all.

Only a Space Master could possibly achieve this through teleportation.

"I am the guide of the Ancestral God Cult."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan looked at Qin Mu indifferently.

In his vision, Qin Mu was a humanoid figure, about three meters tall, with a single horn on his head, covered in scales, with a thick tail behind him, wearing a set of bronze armor, and carrying a battle sword—an unknown clan powerhouse.

Even with his mental power, he couldn't determine the strength of the being before him.

"What ethnic group are you from? I've never seen you before?"

Take out the Beast God Inheritance Token; if you don't have the Beast God Inheritance Token...

"Those who trespass on the sacred grounds of my ancestral religion shall die."

As soon as he finished speaking, a scorching and terrifying aura descended upon him, making Qin Mu feel as if he were engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, unable to resist.

Are the guides of the Ancestral God Cult really that powerful?

Qin Mu had seen many cosmic venerables, and several of them were still lying in the Nirvana Temple.

The person before me should be at the level of a high-ranking Venerable.

The official members of the Ancestral God Cult include Ancestral Gods, Beast Gods, Divine Generals, and Divine Messengers. Divine Messengers are the weakest, and even if one inherits the position of Divine Messenger, one is only comparable to the weakest Universe Venerable.

In other words, this Venerable of the Fei Cang tribe must be a divine general!

Having a high-ranking elder guard the gate is quite extravagant.

"I come from the Teren people."

As the thought flashed through his mind, Qin Mu spoke while a Beast God Inheritance Token appeared in his hand.

"The Tyranids? Never heard of them. You're lucky to have obtained a Beast God Token."

It should be noted that the Beast God's Inheritance Token is extremely rare throughout the entire universe.

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan smiled slightly, showing little interest in the clan from which Qin Mu came.

How vast was the primordial universe?

Besides the six top races and some other powerful races, there are also hundreds of millions of weak races.

Every day, new ethnic groups are born, and some are destroyed.

I've never heard of it, and it's not that strange.

As for the aura of strength?

Once you reach the Realm Lord level, it becomes very difficult to sense them unless you actively release them.

Qin Mu was wearing the treasured armor given to him by his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, making him even more undetectable.

Qin Mu wasn't in a hurry to reveal his special life form's identity; he needed a suitable opportunity.

"Since you possess the Beast God Token, you are the inheritor and qualified to enter. Follow me."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan glanced at Qin Mu and then flew ahead, with Qin Mu naturally following closely behind.

"Do you see that?"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang tribe pointed to the endless, surging, colorful, dreamlike river in the distance.

Qin Mu nodded.

"Let me show you more closely."

As soon as the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan finished speaking, Qin Mu felt a blur before his eyes and instantly teleported several light-years to the vicinity of that endless and vast river.

"This is--"

Qin Mu held his breath. This was no river at all; it was countless streaks of aurora, each a different color, forming an endless river.

Previously, when the river was light-years away, Qin Mu could still discern its shape, but up close, it felt as vast and boundless as ever.

"Is this the 'Five-Colored Aurora Lake' of the Ancestral Mystic Realm?"

Qin Mu's eyes widened suddenly.

"You actually knew that? Yes, this is the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan glanced at Qin Mu in surprise, then smiled and praised him.

"This colorful aurora lake has a maximum diameter of 10 light-years and its power is inexhaustible."

Each of those aurora beams alone, if unleashed with full power, would be enough to severely injure a cosmic venerable.

The entire lake is composed of endless aurora borealis, possessing boundless power!

It is one of the most powerful treasures in the vast universe.

Each aurora could severely injure the Supreme Being of the Universe?

Qin Mu was secretly astonished; this was a lake a full 10 light-years away!

As expected, it is indeed the most powerful and precious treasure.

In the world of devouring the universe, treasures are also one of the most important components of strength.

Especially after reaching the level of a Cosmic Venerable, a suitable and powerful treasure can increase one's strength by a hundred or a thousand times!

It is just as important as gene multiplication and secret techniques.

In the original timeline, what did the human race rely on to fight against the cosmic ruler of the entire primordial universe?

Luo Feng's Star Tower!

The Star Tower, nine light-years high, can be placed there and no matter how strong you are or how many universe lords there are, they can do nothing about it.

This is the most powerful and precious treasure!

When will I be able to obtain an ultimate treasure?

A thought suddenly popped into Qin Mu's mind.

He possessed six treasures, but three of them were ordinary treasures, while the Star Spear and the Mystic Ice Palace were high-grade treasures.

As for the Soul-Stabilizing Bell, this seemingly inconspicuous item is actually a top-tier treasure!

You should know that even the Lord of the Universe would be envious of such a high-level treasure.

Especially the Xuanbing Palace, a top-tier flying palace-type treasure, is comparable in value to other top-tier treasures.

The Sirius Palace of the Lord of Sirius belongs to this level.

Even the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasures River is only a top-tier treasure.

The Soul-Stabilizing Bell, a treasure for defending the soul, is probably more valuable than the Thousand Treasures River.

With the Soul-Stabilizing Bell present, even the strongest being in the universe could not control Qin Mu's soul silently.

It's easy to see how much the founder of Giant Axe valued Qin Mu.

But this still doesn't stop Qin Mu from wanting to obtain the most powerful treasure.

Unfortunately, no humankind possesses a treasure of this caliber.

To obtain treasures of this level, you either need to wait for the Primal Star to open and try your luck.

Alternatively, one might have a chance to obtain it only after further strengthening one's abilities and venturing into the cosmic sea.

"The Five-Colored Aurora Lake is the most precious treasure protecting our Ancestral God Sect!"

The venerable elder of the Fei Cang tribe said proudly.

"With this supreme treasure protecting our faith, who dares to trespass upon our Ancestral God's Religion?"

"To even glimpse the most powerful treasure in the universe is pure luck."

"Enough talk, let's go to Purple Thorn Island."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan teleported with Qin Mu.

……

As the stars shifted, Qin Mu arrived at the edge of the five-colored aurora lake, only a few hundred meters away—too close.

Each streak of aurora borealis was about 10,000 kilometers long, and its vast and unparalleled power made Qin Mu tremble with fear.

"Look, that's Bauhinia Island."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang tribe pointed to the depths of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Qin Mu could vaguely see an island, but it appeared very blurry under the endless aurora.

"Come in."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan flew directly into it.

Qin Mu did not hesitate and followed them inside.

After touching...

It felt as if we were traveling through real lake water. During the flight, the aurora borealis touched our bodies and felt incredibly comfortable. As we got closer, the Bauhinia Island seemed to grow larger and larger.

"Purple Thorn Island is the residence of the inheritor of the Beast God, and it is also the outermost edge of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

As the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan spoke, they had already arrived at Zijing Island.

Zijing Island, with a diameter of millions of kilometers, has no aurora borealis within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers around it.

call out!call out!call out!

Two streaks of light swiftly flew into it and landed on Zijing Island; they were none other than Qin Mu, the Venerable of the Feicang Clan.

"So many palaces."

Qin Mu glanced at the distant land and saw countless palaces.

The same is true on the mountain range, where there are countless palaces of various styles, and many of them exude a powerful aura.

Having reviewed the intelligence beforehand, Qin Mu naturally knew that these were the powerful figures who had cultivated in the Ancestral God Sect over the long years.

There are only a few hundred people in the human race who practice in the Ancestral God Cult.

The primordial universe was extremely vast, teeming with countless races.

The Ancestral Gods bestowed a mandate to pass on their teachings, which were then distributed throughout the universe.

The billions of races in the universe... when accumulated, are hundreds of millions of times larger than humanity.

Its quantity can easily reach tens of billions.

The current situation is because the vast majority of the inheritors have perished, leaving only these hundreds of millions of people.

The Ancestral God Cult only cares about the strong!

Even if they were made kings, they didn't care; if they died, they died.

"Look."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang tribe pointed to the sky.

Qin Mu looked at the sky, where rings of light and shadow were enveloping the entire Purple Thorn Island. Those rings of light and shadow were constantly expanding, disappearing at the edge.

And a new aperture is created in the center of the aperture.

One aperture within another, just like ripples on the surface of water.

It continued to spread outwards.

Birth, annihilation.

Birth, annihilation.

So endless...

Each circle of light and shadow is composed of countless threads of laws, including the laws of time, space, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light.

Furthermore, there are numerous laws of fusion, and even more incredibly profound threads of law intertwined, making each halo perfectly complete.

Qin Mu was completely immersed in it; it was truly awe-inspiring. The cyclical and ever-changing halo seemed to interpret all the mysteries of the universe.

This manifested law of the universe is far more complete and vast than anything in the primordial universe!

"It was worth it!"

Qin Mu thought to himself.

Even just seeing these outward manifestations of the laws of the universe makes coming to the Ancestral Mystic Realm worthwhile.

"wake up!"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan shouted.

Qin Mu then snapped out of his reverie.

"This is an outward manifestation of the laws governing the universe."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang clan had eyes like copper bells as he looked up.

"Our Ancestral God Cult is the greatest power in the universe, with the core principle of upholding the laws governing the universe's operation, and naturally, it is also protected by those laws!"

"Our Ancestral God Sect possesses the Ancestral Mystic Realm, which has the most unique life forms and the most unique treasures in the universe. The Five-Colored Aurora Lake is also a gift from the laws of the universe to our Ancestral God Sect."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said confidently.

"What our Ancestral God Sect does is in accordance with the laws of the universe; anything that goes against the Ancestral God Sect is a violation of the laws of the universe!"

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say it.

This Ancestral God Cult is the spokesperson for the primordial will of the universe.

The original cosmic will has already developed the ability to think, and cannot be simply regarded as the rules governing the operation of the universe.

However, it must follow the rules when it acts and cannot act arbitrarily.

"Hmph, seems you don't believe me?"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan glanced at Qin Mu.

"You'll understand after living here for billions of years."

"Come with me. The first thing we'll do is build a residence on this Bauhinia Island."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan spoke as he strode forward, with Qin Mu following closely behind.

Walking on Purple Thorn Island, one can see palaces of various styles in the distance, as well as powerful beings from all races and billions of races in the universe.

Life forms of different appearances and natures exist everywhere, each with a powerful aura, and special life forms are plentiful.

Seeing Qin Mu made them feel a little excited.

If all the bloodlines and genes of the inheritors were collected, the strength of the swarm and the third-stage perfect divine body would definitely be greatly improved.

Even starting research into the fourth stage of the perfect divine body, breaking through the 10081 perfect limit is not without hope.

……

As they talked, the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan walked to a hillside beside a river and gave instructions.

"Build your palaces here, and remember, each palace shall occupy no more than one kilometer in length and width."

Even those demon races or cosmic behemoths with enormous divine bodies must shrink their divine bodies to reside within it; there are no exceptions.

Qin Mu nodded. Along the way, he saw countless palaces, none of which exceeded one kilometer in length and width.

"besides!"

"You can leave a token in your palace, and then you can be directly teleported here from the divine kingdom."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said.

"This Bauhinia Island will be a place you visit often in the future."

Unless you perish.

"If you have soul servants, remember, never bring them out."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said.

"Once they are brought out, they will be attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and instantly annihilated."

Even if you really have to take it out, you can only keep it in your own palace at most. The palace is your territory.

Once you leave the palace, you must never bring any servants with you.

Of course, life forms with dependent attributes, such as plant life and metallic life, are fine.

"Understood." Qin Mu listened attentively.

"Come with me."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan continued to guide Qin Mu; his responsibility was to receive and guide him, so he naturally told Qin Mu some basic information.

After a while.

Arriving at the highest mountain range on the entire Bauhinia Island, there is only one magnificent palace on the mountain, which stretches for thousands of kilometers.

"There are no exceptions for those who inherit the legacy. Palaces have restrictions, but island lords have no such restrictions."

The venerable elder of the Fei Cang tribe pointed to the magnificent palace in the distance.

"That is the palace of the Lord of Purple Thorn Island. Let's go there."

Treading on the mountain range.

"Look up."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang tribe pointed to the sky.

Qin Mu looked up.

"This is--"

Qin Mu witnessed a magnificent and unbelievable scene. Looking up from this vantage point, he could actually see a slit in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Along this crevice, one can see that deep within the core of the colorful aurora lake lies an incredibly dazzling and enormous palace.

Around that palace that radiated endless light, eight slightly smaller palaces floated in the air.

"That is the true core of the Ancestral God Sect."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed into the distance, expressing his envy.

"That largest palace is the Ancestral God Palace!"

That is the dwelling place of the Ancestral God. Although our Ancestral God Sect has three Ancestral Gods, one usually resides in the core and most important location.

"The eight smaller palaces surrounding the Ancestral God Palace are the Eight Directions Beast God Palaces, which are the residences of the eight great beast gods."

"The more than ten palaces surrounding the Eight Directions Beast God Temple are the Guardian Beast God Temples."

"Outside the Temple of the Guardian Beast God, there are 72 continents."

From our perspective, we can only see 63 continents, which are the continents inhabited by the 72 divine generals, known as the Divine General Continents. It is said that each of these continents is no less powerful than Purple Thorn Island.

"The outermost dense cluster of stars comprises 3000 star worlds, and each star world... is also the residence of a divine messenger."

"The Ancestral God Palace, the Eight Directions Beast God Temple, the Guardian Beast God Temple, the 72 Divine General Continent, and the 3000 Divine Envoy World—this is the core of the Ancestral God Sect."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang tribe sighed.

"The Temple of the Eight Directions Beast Gods, the Temple of the Guardian Beast Gods."

Qin Mu's expression showed shock, but he was also excited.

Although he had checked a lot of the information in advance.

But you can only feel that shock when you actually experience it.

This is the Ancestral God Cult, which is far more powerful than the entire human race!

At this moment, all his inner strength was revealed before him.

The most powerful and precious treasure, the rule governing the universe, an ancestral god comparable to the strongest being in the universe.

And then there are the eight great beast gods, the guardian beast gods! Each and every one of them is a lord of the universe!

Although the true innate beast gods have long since perished, the acquired beast gods who are able to inherit their positions are probably all beings with extremely high genetic diversity.

And there are countless special lives.

The hope of reaching a perfect genetic multiplier, or even a higher level, lies here.
