Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"Familiarize yourself with the inheritance space as soon as possible and master the knowledge within!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Qin Mu's eyes. He immediately enveloped the memory stone with his divine power, and a large amount of information began to be transmitted.

This is detailed information left behind by Duan Donghe's virtual consciousness before it dissipated, telling us about many functions and points to note in the inheritance space.

He also told Qin Mu about his modifications to the Tomb Ship, including where the control core of the Tomb Ship was located and how to control it.

"An inheritance space! As expected of an inheritance space specially created by a god-king, it's incredibly detailed and comprehensive!"

Qin Mu felt a surge of joy after all the information had been organized.

This inheritance space is a near-perfect place for cultivating powerful individuals, mainly completed by the three generations of patriarchs, with other inheritors only making minor additions.

The inheritance space is similar to a small universe, divided into many independent spaces.

There is a super library (the information contained in the massive number of memory stones), which records almost all the most basic techniques of ancient civilizations.

Furthermore, there are countless valuable experiences leading directly to the pinnacle (the experiences of successive generations of inheritors, as well as countless valuable messages they have collected).

There is a space similar to a special trial battle, a small virtual space with a series of opponents, a total of 282 opponents, including Duan Donghe from all generations.

Consciousness can enter the virtual space and fight against them. Those virtual opponents can unleash the power of those super strong people from the past. The most powerful opponent is naturally the third generation patriarch.

There are places specifically designed for creating arcane arts...

There are places specifically for training our own weapons...

There are designated places for quiet meditation...

There are specialized...

In short, the entire inheritance space is a place where successive generations of inheritors continuously refine and perfect it to the extreme, cultivating strong individuals.

"With these, my strength, and even the strength of the entire Zerg swarm, will undergo a qualitative leap!"

Qin Mu praised.

Qin Mu only knew a general idea about the legacy of Duan Donghe through his memories from his previous life. But after truly coming into contact with it, he realized just how astonishing the legacy left behind by a god-king was.

With this inheritance, as long as one doesn't die prematurely, one is almost certain to become a top-tier expert.

"There is so much knowledge in this inheritance, it is so rich. What I urgently need are the secret techniques of divine power flow, body tempering methods, and even soul attacks, illusions, the crafting of treasures, the creation and control of machinery... it is simply countless!"

I need to master it as soon as possible!

There's so much knowledge involved!

Especially those hundreds of millions of basic memory stones, which may not be considered high-end in the Origin Continent, are extremely comprehensive.

The experience of countless powerful individuals and the philosophy of countless cultivation schools are all creations of countless powerful individuals who have followed one another!

Knowledge is power!

How could Qin Mu not understand this principle?

brush!

A palace-like treasure floated out from behind Qin Mu, from which tens of thousands of insect hive tyrants and innate beast gods with the strength of universe masters flew out.

Then, hundreds of millions of memory stones flew up, and countless divine powers simultaneously touched all the memory stones, beginning to access some of the information at the same time, and uploading all the information to the swarm network.

slam-la-

The once dormant insect swarm has become active again.

Once that massive amount of knowledge was read and uploaded by the Hive Tyrants and Innate Beast Gods, the units such as the Sea of ​​Wisdom in the swarm began to analyze it frantically.

Unlike previous inheritors of the Duan Donghe tradition, who typically only read the parts they were familiar with and skilled at, this person...

As for other schools of thought, I would at most glance at them, hoping to gain some understanding by analogy.

Or perhaps, when encountering a top-tier opponent in a battle, one can learn about their background, strengths, weaknesses, and so on.

But Qin Mu is different!

The swarms number in the billions, with some units excelling in combat, others in crafting artifacts, and still others in research.

The Zerg swarm itself is a civilization!

He is fully capable of completely digesting every piece of knowledge passed down in the Duan Donghe lineage!

In the cultivation space where time was accelerated ten thousand times, Qin Mu memorized everything about the core inheritance in less than a day.

Then an even larger undertaking began, involving the memorization of over a hundred million memory stones...

There are over 100 million Memory Stones, each of which is a basic component, so the amount of information contained in each stone is far less than that in the core inheritance.

Even with the assistance of the Zerg network, it took half a year to fully absorb this vast amount of knowledge (actually 5000 years).

"I should go check out the treasure space; perhaps I can obtain another inheritance!"

After accepting everything, Qin Mu used most of the computing power in the entire swarm to carefully study the knowledge contained within.

Qin Mu himself took a step forward, passing through the spatial gate and arriving at the 'treasure space' among the many planes within the inheritance space.

"A treasure trove!"

Qin Mu looked up and saw that he was surrounded by empty space. Before him was a majestic treasure mountain. Brilliant rays of light shot into the sky from the entire mountain peak, each radiating boundless power. Each ray of light was so strong that it made Qin Mu's heart tremble.

This power was almost more astonishing than the simultaneous self-destruction of thousands of insect hive tyrants in the inner domain of the Peak Realm.

"A total of 322 treasures." Qin Mu held his breath. "Through the ages of the Broken East River, countless years have accumulated these 322 treasures."

If we could remove them all…

A thought popped into Qin Mu's mind.

Unfortunately, while the idea was wonderful, it was actually impossible to implement.

This is because it is a rule established by the three generations of the Duan Donghe patriarch, and it has many restrictions.

Each inheritor can retrieve one of the original embryos because they possess the "inheritance mark"... Without the inheritance mark, it is impossible to take away such a treasure.

You can only take one item!

And while they are still alive, they must put one back.

This has always been the case with the Duan Donghe lineage. If someone is strong and achieves high status, they can even send two or three items back, which is considered a contribution to the Duan Donghe lineage.

All of this will be automatically recorded on the stone tablet in Baoshan.

These treasures... have a special name in ancient civilizations—Yuan Pei!

In ancient civilizations, the character "元" (Yuan) held a highly revered meaning, and any treasure bearing this character was considered to be of the highest quality.

"胚" means embryo.

A powerful being needs different treasures at different stages. For example, even if an immortal were given an extremely powerful treasure, he still wouldn't be able to use it.

Therefore, no fully formed treasure can be used by a powerful person indefinitely.

That's why the term "primordial embryo" came about.

A Primordial Embryo is a special treasure that is not yet fully formed... Even Immortals can begin to use it! Moreover, as one's strength continues to increase, after incorporating secret runes, it can accompany a powerful individual until they reach their peak!

Qin Mu walked on this treasure mountain, looking around as he went.

Each beam of light shot into the sky, possessing immense power. If its power were to erupt, even a true god would likely be instantly annihilated. However, due to the special restrictions on the treasure mountain, each primordial embryo was controlled and suppressed.

"Psychic weapon!"

"Melee weapons!"

"A multitude of strange and unusual weapons!"

"This, this is a machine." Qin Mu looked at them one by one, such as a giant fortress that resembled a sphere, whose original size was comparable to a spaceship!

This colossal fortress... is divided into 18 levels of attack units. The runes of each level of attack unit are blank and need to be filled in by the user according to their own research.

If this embryonic form is chosen, the World Mother Nest that the swarm is currently crafting will no longer be necessary.

Even if it's just an embryo, this spherical giant fortress is tens of thousands of times stronger than the World Mother Nest, more than enough to explore the cosmic ocean.

There was also a peculiar ship, which... was actually a huge 'refinery factory world' containing many conditions for refining supreme treasures.

If this option is chosen, with this refining factory, the many Hive Tyrants and other powerful creatures in the Zerg swarm will hardly have to worry about lacking usable artifacts.

This level of artifact crafting factory is sufficient to create artifacts used by most of the top-tier units in the Zerg Swarm, such as the Hive Tyrant and the Beastmaster, allowing the Zerg Swarm's overall strength to surge in a short period of time.

As he looked at each item, Qin Mu's heart itched with excitement at the sight of all the powerful primordial embryos.

"Among all the Yuan Embryos inherited from Duan Donghe, the most numerous are various mechanical flow Yuan Embryos, with 72 out of 322 Yuan Embryos belonging to the mechanical flow category."

As Qin Mu walked along, he looked at a huge puppet that resembled a human figure and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

These mechanical treasures are further divided into many categories, such as "Mechanical Sea Tactics", "Physical Body Tactics", "Fortress Tactics", and many other tactical schools.

"Unfortunately, while the mechanical style is powerful, it's not suitable for me."

In the Duan Donghe lineage, there are four main types: melee combat, ranged attack, mechanical combat, and treasure crafting.

Apart from that, everything else is classified as miscellaneous streams!

Continuing on, we passed through Baoshan, where we encountered various conventional melee and ranged weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.

Choosing these weapons wouldn't be much different for Qin Mu in the short term from choosing ordinary supreme treasures, so of course Qin Mu wouldn't choose them.

Finally, Qin Mu stopped in front of a golden egg.

"Gemu Egg!"

A strange light shone in Qin Mu's eyes.

When analyzing the hundreds of millions of inheritances of the Duan Dong River, Qin Mu specifically looked through some of the inheritances related to controlling insects and beasts, and cultivating insect beasts.

This type of inheritance is classified as miscellaneous and is very rare in the entire Duandong River inheritance.

Clearly, the successive inheritors of the Duan Donghe lineage were not very interested in this aspect, and only collected some of the most basic information.

But this kind of inheritance is the most important to Qin Mu, as it can truly strengthen the foundation of the insect swarm.

Unfortunately, out of the 322 embryos, only one 'Gem Egg' was capable of nurturing combat units!

According to records, the Gem egg is very weak after gestation, but it has unlimited growth potential; if it were cultivated...

It can employ tactics similar to the Zerg's swarm strategy, or it can employ an elite strategy, which is many times stronger than the brooding and nurturing capabilities of the 'Zerg Queen' in the original universe.

Having grown to this point, Qin Mu understands that the Zerg eggs may be inferior to his own incredibly powerful insect swarm.

But Qin Mu stepped forward and slowly reached out to touch the golden egg.

"The Gem Egg is a precious treasure comparable to a Yuan Embryo. And a Yuan Embryo, like the Blood Shadow Blade that Luo Feng chose in the original timeline, is actually a God-King level blade embryo."

"Does that mean the life growing inside the Gem egg has a very high chance of developing into a god-king level being?"

"Even if it's not as good! With enough resources, reaching the Chaos Realm is absolutely no problem!"

Qin Mu had a thought in his mind.

"Life forms such as the Golden Horned Beast and the Zerg Queen have bloodline inheritances, and such powerful life forms must have inherited memories."

The continuation of life, the creation of all kinds of powerful life!

This is the second inheritance hidden within the legacy of the Broken East River, a treasure most suitable for me and for the insect swarm! (End of Chapter)
