Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 527 Ten Thousand Years: The Strengthening of the Insect Swarm!

After completing all the urgent tasks, Qin Mu began his secluded cultivation.

During his cultivation, Qin Mu extensively collected rare materials in the primordial universe through human groups and insect swarms.

On the other hand, it also allows powerful humans and Zerglings adventuring in the Cosmic Sea to collect Cosmic Sea life and special materials.

At the same time, while studying the advancement of life levels, Qin Mu also began to update and iterate the main units in the insect swarm.

Through the swarms of insects in the shattered microcosm, Qin Mu discovered that many swarm units were not adapted to the environment in the cosmic sea after entering it.

In particular, the efficiency of many resource-gathering units is extremely poor; they struggle even to devour small universes, let alone a forbidden zone like the Peak Realm.

Through reconnaissance units dispatched from the primordial sea in the waters of the Peak Realm, it was discovered that the rocks of the Peak Realm are extremely hard. While not as hard as the spaceship, they are still difficult for even ordinary universe masters to damage.

Otherwise, countless cosmic lords and the strongest beings in the universe would have destroyed it long ago by exploring and fighting within it over billions of years.

To devour it, you need good teeth.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Qin Mu.

Although the rocks in the Peak Realm are hard, they are still within the range of destruction. If we can devour them and extract their essence, the enhancement effect on the insect swarm will be even better.

In response to the environment of the Peak Realm, Qin Mu also began designing a resource collection unit with powerful destructive and devouring capabilities against mountain rocks.

Through screening countless life forms in the swarm database, Qin Mu quickly selected a special life form from the primordial universe, the Rock Devouring Beast, for modification.

The Rock Devouring Beast lives in a secluded realm with rolling mountains. Its life level is not very high, only a thousand times higher.

Its body shape is similar to a giant earthworm, about 10,000 miles long, and its head has serrated teeth that can easily devour various hard mountain mineral veins.

Furthermore, it possesses a unique talent called "Rock-Gold Erosion," which allows it to erode and decompose various hard rocks, metals, and other substances, attaching them to its surface to form a thick shell.

Not only will it devour rocks, but the Primordial Sea Membrane's ability to devour chaotic air currents and even the waters of the Tilted Peak Boundary will also be enhanced.

In addition to modifying large resource gathering units, combat units within the Zerg swarm also need to be modified!

The level of combat of the Lord of the Universe is too high. Apart from the Hive Tyrant, even smaller large units like Leviathan, the Forest Lord, and even Behemoth are no longer able to adapt.

How vast is the area of ​​the cosmic ocean?

The primordial universe is merely the largest celestial body within it, occupying only a negligible area. Human beings, even the most powerful, have yet to explore the boundaries of the cosmic sea.

What lies deep within the cosmic ocean?

Where is the corpse of the God-King Mountain Guest wandering now?

The corpse of the God King of Jin was flying at a speed of hundreds of millions of times the light. It took nearly ten thousand years from the time the progenitor of the demon beasts discovered it to the time it collided with the spaceship.

How long had he been flying before that?

Nobody knows!

This shows just how vast the cosmic ocean is!

Humanity and other species have only explored a small part of the cosmic ocean.

This includes the three major forbidden zones currently located in the cosmic sea.

Long, long ago, the Cosmic Sea was not one of the three forbidden zones; the Cosmic Ship appeared later.

Those unknown areas are what the swarm needs to explore.

Compared to exploring the outer perimeter, units like Behemoth and Leviathan are clearly more suitable.

According to the normal timeline, it would take approximately nine million years for the corpse of the God King of Jin to appear.

Qin Mu has no intention of foolishly waiting for nine million years!

If it doesn't come, can't I take the initiative to go find it?

Of course, Qin Mu didn't necessarily want to find the corpse of the God King of Jin.

That thing is the original will of the universe, a means to resist the World Beasts from the depths of the cosmic sea to strengthen the life forms of the cosmic sea.

Under normal circumstances, it would not appear even after thousands or tens of thousands of reincarnations.

Throughout countless eons, how many treasures has the primordial cosmic will hidden in the ocean of the universe?

The primordial cosmic will required it, hence the existence of the Third and Fourth Desolations.

Could it be that Qin Mu couldn't actively find the fifth and sixth forbidden zones deep within the cosmic sea through the insect swarm?

Powerful beings like the God King of Jin, who originated from outside the continent, would have their primordial cosmic will greatly strengthened due to the operation of the supreme laws, leading to their annihilation.

However, for a life form like Qin Mu, which is still within the primordial universe, the will of the primordial universe has no way to deal with it.

At most, they could influence things covertly, causing other powerful individuals to take action against Qin Mu.

As the swarm of insects grew stronger, Qin Mu no longer cared about any of that.

A powerful being in the cosmic sea?

Qin Mu did not consider them as opponents.

Compared to them, the three perilous regions in the cosmic ocean, as well as various harsh environments and unexplored unknown lands, are what the Zerg swarm needs to conquer.

Fighting with others is endlessly enjoyable!

The joy of battling against heaven and earth is boundless!

This requires even more powerful swarm units!

In addition, Qin Mu also began to try to create a set of the strongest combat techniques that were truly suitable for him.

Although he obtained more than a dozen of the strongest secret techniques by taking shortcuts, they were not created by himself and were not completely compatible with the insect swarm.

To go a step further and create the strongest fusion technique, one must create one's own truly strongest technique and then fuse it together...

Not only should we focus on our own cultivation, but we should also put the task of helping many universe lords to transform their life levels on the agenda.

Qin Mu, and indeed the entire insect swarm, began various studies.

……

Time flies, and ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye...

The Virtual Universe Company Temple, in the primordial universe, and even many universe lords who had ventured into the cosmic sea had finished their cultivation and exploration and rushed over.

As for the reason?

Very simple!

That is what Qin Mu once said: to help the Lord of the Universe elevate his life level. He can finally do it!

Who wouldn't be excited about such a significant elevation in their level of life?

It should be noted that many universe lords refrained from exploring the cosmic sea in order to allow Qin Mu to elevate his life level.

Inside the temple, 62 human universe lords and hundreds of Hongmeng universe lords gathered together.

The reason for the number of 62 is, of course, that the human race has continuously produced new universe masters over the course of tens of thousands of years.

Among them, there are as many as 13 from the lineage of the Empress alone!

Their numbers have more than doubled since they first joined the human race.

The number of universe masters among the human race has increased from 18 to 49!

The reason why the number of Universe Lords could increase so dramatically in just over ten thousand years is, of course, that Qin Mu raised the life level of the Universe Venerables of the human race!

These powerful beings, whose life levels have broken through the limit by a hundredfold and whose ability to comprehend laws has greatly improved, some broke through on the spot like the Lord of Unity, while most broke through gradually during their ten thousand years of secluded cultivation.

However, the foundation accumulated by humankind over hundreds of millions of years has been almost completely exhausted.

If one wants to break through to the level of a universe master in the future, the only way will be to hone one's skills on the battlefield of slaughter.

This will be a long process, not something that can be accomplished in ten or twenty thousand years.

Besides the many newly appointed universe lords, the three avatars of the Chaos City Lord have finally gathered together. Others who have avatars, such as the Lord of Desolate Mirror and the Lord of Dragon Journey, have also done the same, summoning all their avatars back.

This made the entire temple even more lively.

At a railing above the temple, Qin Mu and the Lord of Chaos City leaned on the railing and gazed out.

"I never imagined that you would grow to such a level in just tens of thousands of years."

The Lord of Chaos City was filled with emotion.

He initially took Qin Mu as his disciple because of the Genius Battle, and later, after Qin Mu entered the Purgatory Abyss, he proposed the Human Gene Ascension Plan to him.

While he was shocked, he also realized how amazing this disciple's talent was in the field of genes and bloodline.

At that time, he thought that even if Qin Mu's idea could be realized, it would take at least hundreds of millions of years.

Unexpectedly, in just tens of thousands of years, not only has the human gene ascension plan that Qin Mu mentioned at the Giant Axe Conference been fully realized, but it has even surpassed it!

The 100x Gene Breakthrough Method can even elevate the life level of the Lord of the Universe.

"Haha, it's thanks to the support of my teachers and community that I have achieved what I have today."

Qin Mu smiled knowingly.

His growth and that of the human race are mutually reinforcing.

In the early stages, with the support of his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, the founder of the Giant Axe, and others, he received whatever humans wanted.

Even if something is not found in human races, they will send strong individuals to capture and plunder it.

During his time as a Realm Lord, he could command the efforts of many Universe Lords, such as the Lord of Darkness, who even guarded the Tyran Secret Realm for him, concealing his identity.

Even the founder of the giant axe secretly protected them along the way.

It is precisely because of all these reasons that he has been able to progress so smoothly!

Now that he has become powerful, he naturally wants to give back to humanity.

"Qin Mu, your abilities in genes and bloodlines are beyond doubt, but the divine power required to elevate the life level of the Lord of the Universe would be an astonishing number. Can this place withstand it?"

We're not in a rush; we can take it slow.

It's best to wait until you become the master of the universe before advancing further; it's only a few hundred thousand years at most.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Qin Mu with some concern.

"Teacher, rest assured, I dare to summon the universe's lords of humanity because I am confident in my abilities."

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

"Under normal circumstances, the efficiency of the insect swarm in absorbing and transforming divine bodies is indeed not high in just ten thousand years."

However, over these ten thousand years, I have had a good relationship with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, and I have increased my efficiency a thousandfold by devouring his Nine Netherworld Sea.

The primordial sea at the headquarters of the virtual universe company has grown to a diameter of tens of billions of kilometers, and most of it has been converted into the divine power of the cosmic venerable.

"With it, there will be no problem in elevating our human race, and even the universe masters within the Hong Alliance."

Over ten thousand years, with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds providing an unlimited supply of resources, the changes in the insect swarm have been quite astonishing.

"Alright, let's begin!"
