Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 561 Deceiving the Mountain-Sitting Guest!

"You came to me not simply to forge two supreme treasures, right?"

The mountain dweller took a deep breath and stared intently at Qin Mu, as if trying to glean something from his expression.

Although he had already made up his mind, how could a powerful god-king easily bet all of his chips?

He needed to know Qin Mu's strength more clearly, and whether Qin Mu could help him take revenge!

Looking at the appearance of the Mountain Guest, Qin Mu knew that with all the groundwork laid beforehand, he had clearly gained a very high status in the Mountain Guest's heart.

However, it's still a bit short of truly breaking down his psychological defenses and making him work for us.

"Of course not!"

Qin Mu shook his head.

If it were just a matter of having Zuoshanke forge two supreme treasures, he wouldn't need to make a special trip over there. What he wanted was Zuoshanke's weapon-forging heritage!

But this inheritance cannot be taken directly!

That would ruin the persona you built up beforehand.

As powerful beings of the God-King level, they possess extremely high intelligence. They can deceive others for a short period by leveraging their intelligence advantage, but their true nature will inevitably be exposed over time.

Facing an enraged god-king, the consequences would likely be quite severe.

Therefore, a reasonable explanation must be found.

Qin Mu had already thought this through.

"There are some things I need to discuss with you privately. Let's go to your Prince Jin's Palace, Your Majesty!"

Qin Mu said calmly.

The Prince of Jin's Palace? His Majesty the Prince of Jin?

The mountain dweller's heart, which had calmed down, clenched again.

he knows!

Does he really know everything?

How is that possible!

The person sitting on the mountain was screaming wildly in their heart.

Although Qin Mu had revealed a lot of information through his previous conversation with Luo Feng and the recent talk, it was all rather vague and unreliable.

It didn't reveal anything substantial.

For example, that golden light was something that happened after I was reincarnated.

But now, he's actually revealing his past life!

You must know, he was reincarnated!

After reincarnation, all karma is erased!

The Reincarnation Technique can only be used after reaching the Chaos Realm!

Unless one reveals their identity, theoretically no one should know who they are.

It is precisely because of the existence of the reincarnation secret technique that the Chaos Realm has an extremely special status in the Origin Continent, and even God-King level experts must treat it with caution.

Even if a God-King is stronger than a Chaos Realm cultivator, you still need to kill him instantly.

Otherwise, the other party would have been reincarnated and would have gone into hiding.

The power of a hidden Chaos Realm expert is still considerable. Even if one is not afraid, most God Kings have children and families.

This is because after the secret method of reincarnation, all karma is eliminated.

Although the battles between the God-Kings in the Origin Continent were fierce, very few God-Kings actually perished.

At most, you can only kill the opponent until they are reincarnated.

I have never heard of any way to know the past life of a reincarnated person!

If this can be achieved, then what is the point of reincarnation?

You can simply kill it after it is reincarnated.

"Yes, senior!"

Suppressing his panic, the mountain dweller produced an ancient palace in his hand, his expression becoming extremely solemn as he respectfully spoke.

The palace displayed in the Snowstorm Domain of Beihua is merely a high-grade treasure.

Palace treasures of this caliber could be easily shattered by the strongest beings in the universe with a single blow.

Otherwise, who would dare to come to the cosmic sea to look for him?

If it were his divine weapon, the Jinwang Palace, the situation would be completely different. Not to mention a true god, even a void true god, an eternal true god, or even a more powerful chaotic ruler would surely die.

Qin Mu didn't stand on ceremony and transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the Jin King's palace.

There are some things that are not yet convenient for the founder of the giant axe and the queen to know.

In fact, even though Qin Mu had told them before they came that there was no need to panic, when they heard the Mountain Guest address Qin Mu as "senior," countless thoughts had already surfaced in their minds.

……

"No need to be nervous, and you don't need to call me senior."

Inside the Jinwang Palace, in a simple and unadorned hall, Qin Mu and Zuoshanke sat facing each other.

"I have also been reincarnated, but my current strength is still inferior to yours."

Moreover, for some reason, 99% of my memories have disappeared, especially my cultivation, which I completely severed, starting everything from scratch.

Qin Mu looked at the guest sitting on the mountain and said.

"Memories gone? Starting all over again?"

Countless thoughts flashed through the mountain dweller's mind in an instant.

When Qin Mu revealed his past life identity, his doubts about Qin Mu completely disappeared.

There are speculations about Qin Mu's claim of losing his memories and starting cultivation anew.

While rare, this situation does occur on the continent of origin.

It is especially common in the Thunder Kingdom, one of the two ancient kingdoms.

Within the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, all the God-King powerhouses cultivate the Primordial Bloodline.

Cultivating the Hunyuan Bloodline can greatly enhance one's strength, but it also has a fatal weakness: one is easily corrupted by the Hunyuan Bloodline and driven mad.

This influence is so profound that it cannot be completely eradicated even through reincarnation.

Legend has it that some ancient Thunder Kingdom God Kings, in order to escape the corruption of the Chaos Origin Bloodline, would cut off their own souls and memories during reincarnation to keep their minds from being affected, thus embarking on a different path.

Qin Mu actually said that he had lost 99% of his memories. Could he be an ancient being from the Thunder Kingdom?

It's not impossible.

Qin Mu's methods, ever since he appeared in the primordial universe, have always been related to genes and bloodlines.

The discovered gene seed even enabled humanity in the primordial universe to achieve a bloodline ascension.

Among the continents of origin, the Thunder Kingdom has the most in-depth research on the path of bloodlines.

"I see!"

The man sitting on the mountain nodded emphatically, without asking any further questions.

Seeking out the reincarnations and cultivation paths of other powerful beings is a grave taboo!

"My purpose in seeking you out is actually quite simple: I want you to craft some supreme treasures, and I also intend to dabble in the art of weapon crafting."

Also, I need some authorization from you.

In return, once I am strong enough, I can help you kill the five rulers of the Food Kingdom!

Qin Mu said calmly.

"Five?"

The man sitting on the mountain was taken aback.

It's perfectly normal for Qin Mu to know who his enemies are after he learned his true identity.

The Origin Continent is not large, especially for God-King level experts, each of whom is a finite number.

Isn't the Kingdom of Food comprised of three god-kings?

How could it be five digits?

"After your fall, a long time has passed, and the Food Kingdom has gained two more rulers."

As if knowing the question from the person sitting on the mountain, Qin Mu answered directly.

"I see! I understand now."

The mountain dweller took a deep breath. Qin Mu knew that the Food Kingdom had five rulers, yet he still dared to make a promise, clearly showing that he did not take the other party seriously.

"Senior, I'm willing to accept your conditions! But what exactly is this authorization you mentioned?"

It's just refining some treasures; it's nothing to the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

The only thing that might catch Qin Mu's eye was probably his weapon-refining skills.

Qin Mu has countless clones and is proficient in almost everything.

The Mountain Guest was also aware that he had summoned the God of Crafts and many master craftsmen over the past tens of thousands of years.

He wasn't afraid that Qin Mu wanted something from him; what he feared was that he was of no use to Qin Mu, and that would make any deal impossible.

Trading his weapon-forging heritage for Qin Mu's slaying of five God-Kings is an incredibly good deal.

However, they were completely baffled by the authorization Qin Mu mentioned.

"What brings you to the Cosmic Sea Eye?"

Qin Mu did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

"Purpose?"

The Mountain-Sitting Guest frowned slightly. His initial goal was to enslave the Beasts of the Realm to avenge himself.

In the Origin Continent, there is a kingdom called "Tianmu Kingdom". It is a kingdom that is more powerful and more ancient than the Food Kingdom. The ruler of Tianmu Kingdom is called "Purple Wood God King".

The Purple Wood God King once had his kingdom destroyed. Later, he fled into the Cosmic Sea and went deep into the Cosmic Sea. He even enslaved a World Beast and returned to the Origin Continent. With the help of the World Beast, he killed his enemies.

He wanted to replicate the experience of the Purple Wood God King.

However, when he escaped into the depths of the cosmic sea, he discovered that the supreme laws of operation did not allow him to enter.

With the permission of the supreme rules, the primordial will uses the original power of the universe to control the cosmic sea; forcing its way in would surely result in certain death.

Therefore, he could only leave behind a backup plan and was reincarnated as a special life form in the original universe, known as the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

But this also made him a target of the primordial cosmic will, and he dared not relax for a moment.

Even because he didn't understand the supreme rules and was afraid of being suppressed for touching them, he didn't become a true god through the path of divine power, but through the path of rules.

This weakened him considerably, making it impossible for him to enslave the Beasts of the Realm.

That's why he had the idea of ​​training disciples to avenge himself.

"Could it be related to the Realm Beasts?"

"I am sitting here," the guest asked in confusion.

"That's right! You're very lucky. This cycle of reincarnation is the time when the World Beasts will be born."

If nothing unexpected happens, a World Beast is already being conceived in the 'Dark Land' of the Qingfeng Realm.

Qin Mu said.

The Cosmic Sea is not the original universe, and the will of the original universe cannot monitor them at all times, much less listen to their conversations in the Jinwang Palace.

After all, the original will of the universe, without the support of supreme rules, is only comparable to a god-king.

"I see! No wonder your swarm is devouring the Peak Realm! But what does this have to do with my authorization? What does Senior want me to authorize?"

The mountain dweller suddenly realized.

"According to my calculations, your corpse, which is drifting in the Cosmic Sea, is very likely to become a means for the primordial cosmic will to fight against the Beast of Realm, becoming the fourth forbidden zone in the Cosmic Sea, used to enhance the strength of many forces in the Cosmic Sea."

Within the cosmic sea, the corpse of a god-king is still very important to my insect swarm, as are the contents of the microcosm within that corpse.

With your authorization, things will be much easier.

Qin Mu said calmly.

Compared to Luo Feng receiving the inheritance and obtaining the authority in the original timeline, how could this be faster than directly asking the Mountain Guest?

With that authority, the entire Jin world came under the control of the Zerg swarm.

"Of course, it might not be useful. That would be at least eight or nine million years from now. Maybe before then, my swarm will be able to find more good things in the cosmic ocean and accelerate its growth."

Qin Mu continued.

The edge of the cosmic ocean has never been fully explored by anyone.

The corpse of the God King of Jin flew from the farthest reaches of the cosmic sea!

So, could there be other things existing in the far reaches of the cosmic ocean?

The cosmic ocean is far too vast and distant for the true God; if one goes too far, it is easy to get lost.

However, for the insect swarm, as long as they leave mother nests in various places, they don't need to worry about this problem and can continue to explore further.

No one can be sure what we will discover in eight or nine million years.

It's even possible that without going through the cycle of reincarnation, one could find a direct path to the Origin Continent in the cosmic sea.

The three thousand primordial universes are located in different times and spaces on the edge of the cosmic sea, while the origin continent is located in the center of the three thousand cosmic seas.

The Origin Continent is but a fraction of the vast ocean of space.

However, Qin Mu's words plunged the Mountain Dweller into shock once again.

To use one's own corpse as the fourth Jedi?

Eight or nine million years from now?

How can this be deduced?

The mountain dweller was astonished.

His awe for Qin Mu, the reincarnation of an unknown powerhouse, reached almost the limit.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem! I did have some backup plans."

The man sitting on the mountain simply took out a token.

"If my corpse could truly appear, simply producing this token would grant me supreme access to the inner universe within my body!"

For him, the opportunity to use his own corpse for revenge was something he didn't even need to consider.

Not to mention, it was a corpse whose whereabouts were unknown.

If that corpse hadn't come, then I wouldn't have paid anything.

If, eight or nine million years from now, it really does fly over as Qin Mu said.

For a powerful figure like this who can predict events eight or nine million years in the future, what is a god-king's corpse?

"Great! Our deal is done!"

Qin Mu reached out and took the token from the mountain dweller, a smile on his face.

"You're bored refining treasures here, how about you come with me to develop the Peak Realm?"

Could you also give me some pointers on weapon refiners among the human race?

The master craftsman greatly admires you.
