Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 400 Change: How Will You Know If You Don't Try?

The seventh battlefield, the Yanji Continent.

"The second tribulation is complete!"

Inside the flesh and blood chamber, Luo Feng opened his eyes, and the inner universe formed by the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual slowly dissipated.

"My level of life has increased by about 200 times!"

In the primordial universe, the limits of non-special life forms were broken.

Luo Feng looked somewhat agitated.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual consists of nine tribulations.

First tribulation, 3 times.

The second tribulation will increase the damage by 2 times again.

Under normal circumstances, when cultivating for the second time, his gene multiplier should be 6 times.

With Qin Mu's help, after completing the first tribulation, he directly adjusted it to the limit of 100 times.

After undergoing the second tribulation, it completed its transformation in just over thirty days, reaching a 200-fold increase.

Although he knew that this nameless secret technique was extremely powerful and transcended the rules of the universe, Luo Feng still couldn't hide his joy when he actually mastered it.

"Haha, Luo Feng, congratulations! This secret method is truly amazing. By observing the cosmic operating model within your body, I have not only made further progress in my research on evolutionary models."

I also benefited greatly from the genetic transformation that broke through the limit of a hundredfold.

Perhaps this breakthrough could be achieved through a 100-fold increase in gene production.

Qin Mu laughed heartily.

Inside the flesh-and-blood cavity, every detail of Luo Feng's breakthrough of the universe's limitations was completely recorded in the swarm, which naturally greatly helped the research on the hundredfold gene-breaking method.

This may be the first instance in the entire primordial universe where a non-special life form has broken through the hundredfold limit of life level under the rule of the universe's master.

How precious is its data?

"You have already broken through the 100x gene limit, and I can give you a further boost on top of the 200x gene limit."

Based on the existing human population on Earth, reaching a thousand times the current level is not a problem.

Qin Mu was in the same mood as Luo Feng at this moment, extremely happy.

"A breakthrough to a thousand times the genetic level? You've reached such a terrifying level in genetic research?"

Luo Feng's eyes lit up immediately.

"Of course you can. You've seen the second-generation Hive Tyrant, which can already stably reach 3000 times the gene count."

However, you are not suitable for the body of the Hive Tyrant, as the Hive Tyrant cultivates the Ten Primal Laws simultaneously.

"But you're following the path of the laws of metal and space, so I can increase your affinity with these two laws."

Qin Mu explained.

The path of cultivating the ten fundamental elements simultaneously, like the Insect Hive Tyrant, is not suitable for others.

Let alone ordinary humans, even among the most advanced special life forms, Qin Mu had not found anyone who could cultivate the ten fundamental laws simultaneously before a world lord.

Time and energy simply don't allow it.

Qin Mu was able to achieve this by relying on countless insect swarm units to cultivate and comprehend simultaneously.

Forcing oneself to cultivate and comprehend will only lead to the same fate as Bolan.

As a genius in the same year as Qin Mu and Luo Feng, he had a profound understanding of the laws of space, but his understanding of the laws of time was only average. He could only use the laws of wind as a springboard to comprehend them, hoping to cultivate both space and time simultaneously.

As a result, a lot of time and energy was wasted, and in the end, the cultivation progress was only caught up by taking the path that focused on space.

If those who cultivate the laws of time and space are like this, how much more so those who cultivate the ten fundamental laws?

"This... then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Mu!"

Luo Feng did not refuse.

Qin Mu had already modified him many times, so he certainly wouldn't let go of any opportunity to elevate his life level.

"Besides, you've already mastered the secrets of spatial sealing, haven't you?"

The spatial sealing talent engraved in your body is no longer of any use. I'll take this opportunity to replace it for you.

You can replace it with spatial strangulation, teleportation, or anything else.

There are hundreds of powerful talents here, all of which are possible.

As Qin Mu spoke, he transmitted information about hundreds of powerful talents through the virtual universe.

"Change your talent?"

Luo Feng felt that his worldview had been greatly impacted once again.

He knew that Qin Mu's research in the field of genes was terrifyingly strong. It was already extremely frightening that he could be given the talent of spatial sealing. Now, he could even change it.

He could understand replacing the talent within the implant through the sub-body module, but could a talent already engraved in the body also be replaced?

"Um."

Seeing Luo Feng's shocked expression, Qin Mu nodded.

"This is one of the technologies for updating the next generation of Gene Seeds. Talent selection can be done in the fourth generation of Gene Seeds, but many talents in the fourth generation of Gene Seeds are not actually that strong."

After the fifth generation of the gene seed underwent transformation, it could have chosen a stronger talent.

However, since I had already made a choice before, and the body's capacity to bear the weight is limited, after some consideration, I decided to make some optimizations within the next generation of gene seeds.

In other words, your talents are cleared and you can choose again!

In addition, I plan to link the next generation of the Gene Seed with the implantation suit, using the implantation suit's abilities to increase the success rate of the Gene Seed's evolution.

Qin Mu had this idea before the fifth generation of gene seed was developed, and he had conducted targeted research on it.

Talent removal can now be done in the brood mound.

However, achieving this through the seed of genes is a long and arduous task.

"Then I'll choose the teleportation talent! Although the other talents might improve my combat power, the profound mysteries of the laws of space are more important!"

Perhaps, through talent, I too can master the three profound mysteries of spatial sealing, strangulation, and teleportation before achieving immortality, just like you, Brother Mu.

Luo Feng pondered for a moment before speaking.

He possessed the Golden Horned Beast, so he didn't need to choose the clone talent like others.

"That's right! Understanding the laws is the most important thing."

Qin Mu agreed.

"Huh? Earth's been blocked?"

While reviewing the talent information sent by Qin Mu, Luo Feng glanced at the numerous emails Xu Xin had sent to his inbox, and after casually checking them, he asked in confusion.

When cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, one must devote all one's energy, otherwise it is easy to cause the inner universe cycle to collapse. Naturally, he did not pay attention to the emails in the virtual universe.

Upon closer inspection, there were hundreds of important emails, all related to Earth.

"Yes, it was my order. By studying the cosmological model within you, I have successfully implanted the evolutionary model into the low-level implant and have begun large-scale testing."

Earth is one of the test sites I chose.

To maintain secrecy, the area within 1000 light-years of Earth has been sealed off.

Qin Mu looked at Luo Feng and said, then casually mentioned the role of low-level implantation equipment in the evolution of lower-bloodline human races.

"No wonder they're keeping it under wraps! If this armor were revealed, the entire primordial universe would probably be shaken violently. Other races won't stand by and watch us rise to power."

Having spent thousands of years in the extraterrestrial battlefields, Luo Feng knew very well how much envy and jealousy billions of races in the primordial universe held for humanity.

"Well, in order to allow them to gain experience during the lockdown, I built a fixed teleportation channel on Earth that leads directly to a secret realm."

That secret realm was extremely vast, containing a supercontinent as large as tens of thousands of Blood Luo Worlds, enough for them to grow and develop.

There are also many races with inferior bloodlines there, testing low-level armor.

Furthermore, your teacher, Venerable Zhenyan, is also in that secret realm.

In the past, Qin Mu only knew that Venerable Zhenyan had been arranged to cultivate in a certain secret realm, but he did not pay special attention to it. However, now that he knew, he directly told Luo Feng.

"Is Teacher Zhenyan also in that secret realm? A super continent with tens of thousands of pieces comparable to the Blood Luo Continent?"

Luo Feng exclaimed in delight.

When Venerable Zhenyan entered the Nirvana Temple, the Nirvana Temple was still in its most primitive version, directly entering the flesh and blood chamber.

With their intelligence, it's not hard to guess that this is very likely a technology similar to the Seed of Genes, and related to the Zerg race on the extraterrestrial battlefield.

It was not, as advertised, a treasure inherited from the cosmic sea.

To maintain secrecy, the Lord of Chaos City initially threw all the Immortals who were cooperating in the research into the secret realm, severing all contact with the outside world.

Luo Feng only knew that Teacher Zhenyan had made a breakthrough and gone into seclusion to cultivate.

Upon learning the specific details about Teacher Zhenyan, they were naturally excited.

"Tens of thousands of continents comparable to the Blood Luo World, that's quite a grand gesture. With China's current strength, it probably won't be easy to establish a foothold in such a place."

Luo Feng sighed.

"It is challenging, but it is also an opportunity for China."

I promised them that as long as they are strong enough, all the land and people they can occupy will belong to China.

This matter is being overseen by Jia Yi, who has returned to Earth to take command.

China has also launched operations simultaneously on two continents, and so far, they have been quite successful.

Qin Mu said with great satisfaction.

"Jia Yi? He's better than us!"

The land and people occupied will all belong to China; this is indeed a great opportunity.

The news came too suddenly, and the outside world was completely unaware of what was happening on Earth. Some of my descendants were also trapped on Earth.

Many people have come to me.

China has developed rapidly in recent years, but its core is still Earth; a sudden blockade would inevitably cause some chaos.

Luo Feng immediately understood.

Just like in the original timeline, Luo Feng and Xu Xin also had children.

Over thousands of years, the Luo family has grown into a large clan, and naturally, some of its descendants also live on Earth.

"The development is indeed fast, but it's not enough! As for the chaos, this entry into the secret realm is both an opportunity and a challenge for them."

"I have high hopes for them. A small, medium-sized universe country is not the end for China!"

In the future, they will rule the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and even more.

"If we want the human race to truly achieve genetic advancement, the current system is not feasible; changes are necessary to make it possible."

Qin Mu said in a deep voice.

"Take over the Qianwu Universe Kingdom? And the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler?"

Luo Feng was shocked.

The ruler of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is a powerful figure at the level of a Universe Venerable!

"Hahaha, do you think the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom wants to be the ruler? If it weren't for paying off his debts, he wouldn't have become the ruler at all!"

After the Genius Battle, he has largely forgiven the debts incurred in nurturing us geniuses.

I also gifted him several top-tier treasures through the Lord of Chaos City.

"If the Virtual Universe Company hadn't refused to release him, he would have quit long ago."

Qin Mu laughed loudly.

He would never forget the help from the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom. If it weren't for the fact that the ruler had given him several peak-bloodline star beasts at that time, Qin Mu would have passed the seven trial towers very quickly.

Even if the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is in debt, it's only 4.6 Treasure Points, which is nothing to Qin Mu right now.

He incubated special life forms within the chaotic void, and the resources consumed in his various researches, when converted into treasures, amounted to far more than a hundred.

But his contributions to the human race are even greater!

Qin Mu could make the decision on how to allocate these resources himself.

"I see. But it's too early for China to rule the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. China is already struggling to swallow the Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

Moreover, to let China rule, this…”

Luo Feng was clearly puzzled.

He focused most of his attention on spiritual practice and didn't pay much attention to things in the universe.

"When you were carrying out your domain lord mission, you must have seen some things within the Qianwu Universe, right?"

Qin Mu said calmly.

Luo Feng's face immediately darkened.

That time, he witnessed something extremely infuriating.

On Earth, especially during the Great Nirvana and the end times, many things have crossed the line, but compared to things in the universe, those things on Earth are simply insignificant.

The inter-ethnic wars, in which countless powerful individuals sacrificed their lives, have brought peace to the entire 1008 Universe Kingdom.

Peace came at the cost of sacrifice!

The strong, guard the entire territory of humanity!

In this kind of life, some people with background and power, such as fathers who are domain lords and practically dominate a primitive civilization in a certain universe, will find their sons unable to advance beyond the Hengxing level and ineligible to inherit the position of family patriarch. Without a goal to strive for, they will naturally begin to rot.

These people, who have no "goals" but wield a certain amount of power and money, will do many unimaginable things when they have no goals.

Eating raw people and babies is no longer novel and can no longer satisfy the needs of those rotten people!

They used their boundless imagination to torture slaves, and torturing slaves went unpunished by law.

For this purpose, they turned countless people into slaves for their own pleasure.

The first task for Luo Feng, the domain lord with the highest score, is to execute a slave organization!

On that occasion, he killed all the high-ranking officials of the slave organization and liberated several slave planets.

Let those slave planets have the same opportunities for development as other life-bearing planets.

But what's even more terrifying is the second points-based task!

Regarding the "Blood Demon King," an immortal god of the King level within the territory of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, and the Blood Demon Trial he organized!

The Blood Demon King is a loner, solitary by nature, and not a member of the five major powers. He controls a star field within the territory of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom—the Dutuo Star Field.

Du Tuo Starfield is his exclusive territory, completely under his control. Because he is an important member of the Hong Alliance, his territory is independent of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, which has no jurisdiction over this starfield.

Within the Dutuo Starfield controlled by the Blood Demon King, there is an extremely cruel selection process called the Blood Demon Trial, which is secretly referred to by the people of the Dutuo Starfield as the "Blood Demon Purgatory".

This trial is held in every one of the tens of thousands of star systems in the Dutuo Starfield, but the interval between each trial is relatively long.

Advanced Blood Demon Trial: One million Stellar-level humans are captured and taken to a mineral planet, where they are forced to kill each other until only 10 survive. The trial then ends. The 10 survivors are absorbed by the 'Blood Demon Star'.

Low-end Blood Demon Trial: 100 billion planetary-level humans are captured and taken to a mineral planet, where they are forced to kill each other until only 100 survive. The trial then ends, and the last 100 are absorbed by the 'Blood Demon Star'.

How terrifying?

Even the death rate in battlefields outside the region is not this exaggerated.

This was merely the Blood Demon King's way of selecting a few of his subordinates!

In fact, to maintain this oppressive rule, the Blood Demon King abolished all technology in the entire Dutuo Starfield. Many planets had no spaceships at all, and even some common technological tools.

The Dutuo Starfield is a giant cage.

Even so, Virtual Universe Company never attacked him!

The reason is quite simple: aside from the Blood Demon Trials, the Blood Demon King is relatively benevolent towards the countless inhabited planets under his command.

Because the number of people killed was "not large," it did not cross the line.

The task Luo Feng accepted was simply to choose to stop one of the two trials!

"Have you ever been angry? He's just a mere Blood Demon King! Yet he controls countless lives in an entire star field, and can kill and take them at will."

Billions of lives were nothing more than a source of amusement for him.

Looking at Luo Feng's gloomy face, Qin Mu asked.

"Naturally enraged! It's a pity I'm too weak, otherwise I would have killed him on the spot!"

Recalling those scenes, Luo Feng said angrily.

"The Blood Demon King is only the one you've seen. Among all the kings, he's considered relatively benevolent!"

Do you know how many cruel things other kings have done?

Qin Mu sneered.

He had all of this under his watch through the Zerg intelligence units spread across 1008 intergalactic nations.

"So, you want to change these things? That will be difficult, and even if you do manage to, these problems will likely be hard to avoid!"

Luo Feng fell silent.

"It's certainly challenging, but how will you know if you don't try?"
