Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"Less than 2000 games in thirty years! The gap is too big."

Luo Feng opened his eyes and looked at the thousands of inheritors around him who looked desperate. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

With his own power and absolute advantage, he suppressed everyone in the entire universe!

Is this result exaggerated?

too exaggerated!

Although he didn't know how far others were progressing, he himself had only completed one hundred rounds. After communicating with many human universe masters in the virtual universe, he found that everyone else was about the same.

Even many universe lords are quite different from him.

Qin Mu played a full 2000 games!

However, when his consciousness returned to the Giant Axe's microcosm and he saw the countless insect units in the space accelerated ten thousand times, especially the colossal creatures like the Primordial Sea, Luo Feng suddenly felt that the great gap between him and Qin Mu was not incomprehensible.

How can they compare to Qin Mu alone?

That's the entire swarm!

Compare this to the insect swarms that spread throughout the entire primordial universe and even the cosmic ocean, capable of consuming all three forbidden zones!

How strong is Qin Mu's computing power?

Luo Feng couldn't imagine it.

In the space of the black-patterned stone pillar, Luo Feng also left behind a clone of the Demon Slayer Clan to hone his will.

The towering black-patterned stone pillar pierced directly into the endless depths of the clouds at its highest point. The entire black-patterned stone pillar exuded an endless and overwhelming will, as if billions of blood-stained black-armored legions were charging and roaring.

The onslaught of willpower surged like waves, one after another, relentlessly crushing Luo Feng's resolve.

This is the area where the time flow rate of the Black Striped Stone Pillar is 3000 times.

The impact of that will has reached the limit of the Lord of the Universe, and is only one step away from the strongest being in the universe.

However, when he looked up into the depths of the black-patterned stone pillar, he could see the figures of the insect hive tyrants in the area with a time flow rate of 18 times.

That's an area that even the ninth-tier True God, Lord Beichi Star, cannot reach!

How strong is Qin Mu's will?

Is it the limit of the strongest being in the universe, or has it surpassed the strongest being in the universe?

The stronger one's will, the faster one's deductive reasoning and thinking will be!

The research on the Rhinoceros King Bureau will reach an astonishing level!

18 times the time acceleration, super strong will, massive insect swarm deduction, plus Qin Mu's achievements on the secret pattern map.

It should be noted that even the strongest being in the universe can only accelerate time up to 1 times!

This one advantage alone gave Qin Mu 18 times more time than everyone else! It allowed Qin Mu to leave everyone else behind!

And once all the conditions are combined, a qualitative change occurs!

"Fortunately, Mu-ge and I are both human."

Luo Feng closed his eyes, no longer looking at those inheritors who were almost in despair.

Since Qin Mu received the inheritance, it was equivalent to him also receiving the inheritance. Luo Feng was naturally not in a hurry and could focus on his research.

……

As time passed, Qin Mu became completely immersed in the deduction of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation and the Secret Pattern Diagram.

Each thousand rounds of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Path of Enlightenment presents a new hurdle, with the difficulty increasing dramatically.

The first 2000 games took Qin Mu nearly 30 years to complete.

However, it took Qin Mu nearly three hundred years to complete the first 3000 games.

Within the swarm network, in a specially created space, countless three-dimensional phantom images of unfinished games floated, constantly interlocking and recombining. Qin Mu entered a state of absolute peak enlightenment.

A multitude of ideas kept emerging, numerous inspirations collided, and many problems were solved one by one.

Even beside these phantoms, there are extremely complex runes, such as the runes on the black-patterned stone pillars that no one has ever understood, or the runes on the spaceship.

In the abdominal region of the miniature universe swallowed by the spaceship, the extremely mysterious and complex secret patterns were a key focus of Qin Mu's research.

Through studying these secret patterns, Qin Mu gained some insights, which greatly increased the speed at which the Primordial Sea, floating in the cosmic sea, devoured the chaotic air currents.

Even when studying secret techniques, it can be used as a reference... If I were to create a secret technique, with my current mastery of the Secret Pattern Flow, the probability of me creating a seventh-order secret technique would be greatly increased.

"Um?"

Inside the two-colored palace, Qin Mu stood in front of the crystal pillar, a smile on his face.

He had just perfectly solved the 3000th endgame puzzle in the crystal pillar. As soon as he succeeded, Qin Mu looked up into the distance.

"Splash splash splash~~"

Countless blue light spots condensed out of thin air.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the faint feeling of "freezing" in the soul sent a shiver down the spines of all the powerful individuals.

Everyone looked up and saw countless blue dots of light in the air, like snowflakes drifting down.

"What happened?"

"this……"

"Something terrible is about to happen!"

These countless blue light spots, resembling snowflakes, suddenly surged wildly towards Qin Mu.

"Boom!" A crystal pillar suddenly emerged from the ground behind Qin Mu.

In an instant, three large crystal pillars surrounded Qin Mu, and countless cyan light spots quickly condensed, transforming into a palace that enveloped Qin Mu's head.

The palace, adorned in gold, red, and blue, was dazzlingly beautiful.

At this moment, Qin Mu was like an emperor among all the inheritors.

"How is that possible?!"

"No!"

"This inheritance belongs to my Purple Moon Holy Land! It belongs to my Purple Moon Holy Land! Damn it, damn it!!!"

"How can the difference be so huge?"

"He's crossed the line again!"

despair.

Almost all the powerful figures present were filled with despair.

When they saw this, how could they not understand that Qin Mu had broken through his bottleneck once again?

It should be noted that there are four major bottlenecks in total. If you break through the fourth bottleneck, you will directly obtain the inheritance without even having to compete.

The third lineage represents the core candidates!

Qin Mu has already broken through three major bottlenecks, but what about the others?

To date, not a single person has broken through the first bottleneck!

This means that Qin Mu has almost secured the inheritance.

"Swarm Overlord!" A white light condensed in mid-air, transforming into a dazzling figure dressed in magnificent white armor, Duan Donghe.

At this moment, Duan Donghe did not have that feeling of indifference and loneliness; on the contrary, it was dazzling.

"300 years! Just 300 years!" Duan Donghe closed his eyes, but tears were already streaming down his face.

A silence.

All the powerful figures present looked up at Duan Donghe.

"I never imagined that after my death, I, Duan Donghe, would encounter a junior like you in the cosmic sea."

Duan Donghe sighed softly. "I never thought that when we embarked on this dead end, when we were forced to abandon each other and walk this dead end together, I would still be able to find a junior like you in the end."

"By severing the Donghe River's lifeline, revival is within reach!"

What!

The expressions of the people from all ethnic groups changed drastically.

Does this mean that Duan Donghe is going to directly pass on his legacy to Qin Mu?

This, this is absolutely unacceptable!

"I have failed my ancestors." Duan Donghe closed his eyes, his whole body trembling slightly, his face showing pain. Then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qin Mu.

"I am sorry to them. It was I who... led the Duan Donghe lineage to its demise."

"Our Duan Donghe lineage is incomparably noble and powerful, possessing endless glory throughout history, and once stood at the most dazzling peak."

"But I have caused my lineage to be cut off."

"I am a sinner."

"But I had no choice..."

Duan Donghe looked at Qin Mu. "Your aptitude and comprehension far surpass mine. Even in my hometown, I have never seen anyone whose aptitude and comprehension can surpass yours."

"Congratulations, Overlord of the Swarm!" Duan Donghe looked at Qin Mu.

"The assessment period is still quite long, spanning three eras. That should be enough time for you to break through the fourth bottleneck."

"If you can directly reach the fourth bottleneck, they..." Duan Donghe's gaze swept across the room. "They will all be eliminated to celebrate your acquisition of the inheritance."

The thousands of powerful figures present were terrified.

Kill them all?

I was encouraging them before, saying they could continue once they met the requirements.

But now it seems that Duan Donghe is obviously not a good person. Once the successor is found, all other candidates are useless.

"Three epochs." Duan Donghe looked at Qin Mu. "This time, the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau's comprehension time will last for a total of three epochs!"

If you can break through the fourth bottleneck within these three eras, even in death I will have no regrets towards my ancestors.

"Remember...within three eras..."

As Duan Donghe spoke, his figure vanished.

The entire corridor was quiet.

The gazes of countless powerful figures toward Qin Mu were filled with a mixture of admiration, awe, and venomous resentment.

The first bottleneck was broken through in three years.

It took thirty years to break through the second bottleneck.

Breaking through the third bottleneck in less than three hundred years!

Qin Mu's performance was so consistent, it seemed as if there were no fluctuations whatsoever.

So how long will it take to break through the fourth bottleneck?

Three thousand years?

Or even shorter?

Being one step ahead inspires others to strive for improvement and ignites their fighting spirit.

Being two steps ahead can breed envy.

If you're a hundred steps ahead, what about a thousand steps ahead?

It will only lead to despair!

"Three eras?" Qin Mu closed his eyes and continued to focus all his efforts on comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.

Time passed, and two hundred years went by.

"Ding! Dong!"

In the silent corridor between life and death, a familiar voice rang out.

Everyone instinctively looked at Qin Mu, and to their relief, no light came on.

If Qin Mu breaks through again, they will all die!

"Sever the East River!"

"The Broken East River has reappeared."

"Has this broken through the first bottleneck? Who is it?"

All the inheritors looked toward the direction of the light.

"Candidate Luo Feng, a human, has met the requirements for resolving the situation." Duan Donghe looked down and his gaze fell on a figure in the distance.

Luo Feng opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face. Nearly five hundred years had passed.

He finally solved the 1000th puzzle!

Although there is a big gap between him and Mu Ge, at least he has widened the gap with the others.

This process was also a considerable challenge for him.

"It's human!"

"It's a human again! It's that human Luo Feng!"

"How could human talent be so strong?"

All the inheritors, especially the powerful figures from the two holy lands, were filled with disbelief.

Compared to other races, only the two holy lands sent a large number of powerful individuals in because Qin Mu blocked the entrance.

Although there are only a few thousand people, they are the elite of the two holy lands!

The results of it?

It's one thing to be unable to compare to Qin Mu, who possesses an infinite swarm of insect clones, but how could he be unable to compare to another human, Luo Feng?

This was unacceptable to the powerful figures of the two holy lands.

Unfortunately, that's the truth.

No matter how unacceptable it is, there's nothing we can do about it.

However, Luo Feng's success has also inspired others to some extent, as many people are also approaching the bottleneck of the first stage.

What if Qin Mu gets stuck at the fourth bottleneck during his subsequent comprehension?

Clinging to a sliver of hope, each inheritor continued their comprehension with their own thoughts.

The corridor fell silent once more, until another two hundred years passed, and the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land, Azure Blood, successfully broke through the first bottleneck.

Then, one after another, some other people broke through!

Each breakthrough finally gave all the inheritors a glimmer of hope.

however.

The truth is always so cruel.

In the 2700th year of solving the puzzle, Qin Mu stood before the 4000th puzzle!

"The Rhinoceros King's Game is indeed interesting! The 4000th game has finally been solved."

"The legacy of the Broken East River is mine!" (End of Chapter)
