Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 403 The Ancient Tree of War: A Prelude to the Battlefield

The Heritage Space remains bustling with activity even after a thousand years.

In the center of the platform is an open-air bar, where drinks and food are casually placed for people to take as they please.

In one corner of the giant platform, what was originally just a rudimentary commercial street has become quite complete, with restaurants, training grounds, battle arenas, and other facilities.

During casual conversation, mostly in the open-air plaza, Qin Mu spotted the Nine Nether Prince and the World Tree—special life forms whose true forms were inconvenient to move.

Even special life forms have social needs.

Staying in one place for years would drive even intelligent life forms like the Babata crazy, let alone real life.

The Heritage Space serves as such a platform.

Many top-tier special life forms like to stay in this place full of their own kind.

In a restaurant on the edge of the platform, several princes of the Nine Netherworlds surrounded the Primordial Sea, asking him for the secret to creating life.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and the Primordial Sea exchanged ideas several times and gained many insights. Later, they simply made it a regular practice to discuss the creation of life every now and then.

His descendants knew that almost all of the Nine Nether Princes liked to go to the Primordial Sea to ask him about creating life.

The Nine Nether Prince, who possesses the talent for creation, is unable to move his body due to the presence of the Sea of ​​Transformation, and is born with a love for creating life.

Creating life is simply too difficult. Even the Prince of the Nine Netherworlds could only nurture some blood-red, curved-horned life forms under the guidance of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

In just a short span of a thousand years, under the guidance of the Primordial Sea, several of them with strong comprehension have been able to create some potential and have outstanding talents among flesh and blood beings.

Furthermore, guided by the Primordial Sea, they have been researching the multiplication of their own genes and have made some progress!

How could this not excite them?

"Brother Scalos, what do you think of my idea?"

This flesh-and-blood life form already possesses a body comparable to a peak-level star-level behemoth.

Unfortunately, after I created it, there seemed to be some problem; it couldn't survive for long and would die very quickly.

A prince from the Nine Netherworlds projected an extremely complex life chart into the void.

"Let me see!"

He peered into the primordial sea and examined it closely. After a while, he pointed to one of the genetic structures.

Scalos is the name he gave himself; the Primal Sea can only be considered his race.

"There's a problem here, there's a conflict in the gene structure, and here too..."

As Scalos pointed out the problem, he explained the underlying principles, while the Nine Nether Princes listened attentively, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"There seems to be a problem here too..."

Beside Scalos, the ancient war tree, resembling a tree-man, also came over to help analyze the situation.

Only the World Tree, who was huddled together with a few others, was dumbfounded and could only helplessly watch as these special beings, skilled in creating life, discussed their ideas.

"Fourth Brother, why can't our World Tree create life?"

The smallest World Tree looked at its fourth brother beside it with a helpless expression.

"How would I know! They were chatting and then they started talking about creating life, which I couldn't understand at all."

The World Tree, nicknamed "Fourth Brother," is also caught in a dilemma.

Since being invited by the Titans to enter this inheritance space, they have fallen in love with this unique space. In addition to receiving inheritance, they also enjoy communicating with other special beings when they are not cultivating.

This was especially true after they found a group of special life forms that were also plants but were enormous, and became friends with them.

The ancient war tree was one of their best friends.

They also possessed enormous bodies and the talent to control time and space. They even suspected that the War Tree was actually another World Tree.

But when the War Tree said that it could create life by bearing fruit, it made several World Trees extremely envious.

"You're already the most advanced special life forms, and you still want to create more life? Are you trying to prevent other special life forms from surviving?"

The special life form resembling a giant bear, who had been listening to the others' complaints, suddenly spoke up.

"In the entire space of inheritance, there are very few things that can create life!"

Moreover, creating life does not increase one's own strength.

"That's right. While creating life is indeed interesting, ultimately, one's own strength is more important."

"..."

A group of special beings echoed in agreement, though their words betrayed a look of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Who wouldn't want to create life?

But I don't have that talent!

It was common knowledge throughout the entire Inheritance Space that a group of princes from the Nine Netherworlds frequently sought out the Primordial Sea 'Scarlos' to discuss the creation of life after entering the Inheritance Space.

The War Tree joined later and quickly became close with Prince Jiuyou and the World Tree.

"Ignore them. I have already received several inheritances in the inheritance space and gained a great deal, but I am still a little short of breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable."

If there are a few more opportunities to pass on the torch, the chances of making a breakthrough will be much greater.

Unfortunately, I no longer have any valuable treasures, so I plan to join the demon race and enter the outer battlefield to earn some wealth.

Are any of you planning to go together?

The special life form resembling a giant bear looked around and spoke.

"Black Emperor King, are you also planning to go to the extraterritorial battlefield?"

That demon race is indeed quite generous. With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult for you to gain merit and exchange it for a few valuable treasures.

However, we must also be careful of the Zerg race from the human faction!

They are also top-tier special life forms. Although they are still realm lords, their strength is extremely high! Moreover, their numbers are numerous, and they have combined attack methods. Once you get entangled with them, it is extremely dangerous.

Over the years, quite a few top-tier special life forms have ventured into battlefields outside their own domains.

Some did indeed amass enormous wealth, but many more died.

Beside him, a special life form floating in the air like a jellyfish offered a warning.

"I know! The Zeg race is really too strange. As a special life form, their numbers are so large!"

Even after death, they can be reborn quickly and are not afraid of soul attacks. It's too overpowered.

Unfortunately, they are unwilling to join the inheritance space, and the human camp refuses to open the clan's treasure trove. The Nirvana Temple can only increase gene multipliers by a factor of less than a hundred, which is of no use to us.

Otherwise, I'd like to join the human side.

Even the Black Emperor was having a bit of a headache.

As the inheritance space becomes more and more complete, top races such as the demon race and the insect race, as well as the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Nine Domains Alliance, have already recruited some special life forms.

They publicly post missions within the game, or recruit and lure special beings.

Entering extraterritorial battlefields to earn wealth is a relatively popular task.

The reason is simple: the war has become increasingly intense in recent years. Humanity has relied on the Zerg swarm to completely hold off the three-race alliance, and there is even a trend of reverse suppression.

One after another, Leviathans rushed to the battlefield, frantically hatching swarms of insects, inflicting heavy losses on the demon race.

Both the Zerg and the Mech races have the means to produce massive numbers of cannon fodder, so their actual casualties are not many. But the Demon race is in a much worse situation.

There was already widespread discontent within the clan, and even the powerful royal family was unwilling to go to the battlefield to fight.

Fighting against the cannon fodder that has been hatched is a losing proposition, whether you win or lose.

You only have one life, but others don't; they can reappear quickly after you die.

The resources consumed by their resurrection are something they could never repay in a lifetime.

Therefore, in the three-race alliance, the demon race offered many valuable items to attract other races to join the demon race's camp and suppress humanity.

"The Zeg clan? I'd like to have a look at them. I am the Ancient Tree of War!"

They are realm lords, and so am I!

With my body, I can simultaneously hatch a massive number of combat units!

What is Behemoth if resources are plentiful?

It's only 100,000 kilometers in size!

It's a pity my body is not convenient for movement, otherwise I would also like to go to the battlefield to see just how strong the Zeg clan is.

Upon hearing Black Emperor's words, the War Tree seemed eager to try.

"You want to go too? With your body spanning 6000 million kilometers, even without the ability to create life, you'd be more than capable of protecting yourself in the extraterritorial battlefield."

You also possess the same talent for controlling space and time as the World Tree; even an invincible king could not defeat you!

Its incubation capacity is even stronger than Behemoth's!

They will definitely be able to easily acquire a massive amount of military merits.

The inconvenience of travel is a problem, but didn't you enslave a king who is immortal?

Just let him take you there using the World Ring.

We can go together; both the Prince of Dongyang and the Prince of Qingfeng have made plans with me!

Black Emperor King exclaimed excitedly.

"I'll think about it. Although I can hatch a large number of combat units, if I really let the hatching go on, it will consume too many resources. Even if my body is huge, it won't last long."

The Nazeg clan has the support of the human race, a top-tier race.

They can afford to wait, but I can't!

Besides, I'm not exactly lacking in valuable treasures.

The ancient tree of war hesitated for a moment, but still refused.
