Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

war!

A war that could draw in all Zerg units!

Qin Mu's eyes burned with fervor.

As the burly, silver-scaled warrior said, he had longed for a real war for far too long, and had suppressed it for far too long.

When was the last time the Zerg swarm went all out in a war?

It must have been during the Earth era, when the war against monsters was launched, right?

Even during extraterritorial wars, it was more of an experiment, testing new units within the swarm to accelerate its evolution.

That's it.

"I originally thought the war between the Zerg swarms would take place during the Great Expedition of the World Mother Nest against the Cosmic Sea, but it seems I need to change my plans."

Qin Mu's eyes burned with passion.

In order to find a way out for the swarm, he combined technologies such as treasure refining and mechanical flow to create the World Mother Nest and assembled a powerful fleet to prepare to head to the unknown regions of the cosmic sea.

But now, this massive fleet has a better place to go.

Qin Mu looked around at the desolate space, and finally focused his gaze on the spatial passage that was about 10 billion kilometers high and resembled a gate.

This strange spatial passage was clearly a treasure. After the burly, silver-scaled expert finished speaking, he gained some access to the spatial passage.

Through the spatial passage, Qin Mu's will instantly locked onto the World Mother Nest through that mysterious sense, pulling it directly over.

boom!

The spatial channel was activated, and the World Mother Nest, which had completed its initial testing, shrank and flew out of it, rotating before transforming back into a colossal object trillions of kilometers in size, hovering in this desolate space.

"I need to gather the most powerful forces of the Zerg swarm! Except for a small number of top-tier units that remain in the primordial universe and the cosmic sea, summon the rest."

"Including the Nine-Headed Lava Demon, and most of the supreme and ultimate treasures collected by the swarm, bring them all!"

As soon as Qin Mu had a thought, the powerful insect swarm units distributed throughout the entire cosmic sea instantly disappeared one by one and flew out of the passage.

Rumbling--

The Lava Demon God's colossal body, spanning billions of kilometers and composed of rock and endless magma, stomped on the desolate earth, producing deafening roars.

Hive Tyrants, Beast Gods, Leviathans, and even colossal beings like the Ancient of War converged and eventually flew into the World Hive, which floated in the sky.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of some powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea and the Primordial Universe.

For example, outside the Peak Realm, the disappearances of the Insect Nest Tyrants who were refining treasures on the Craftsman God Star were immediately discovered by the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

At this moment, Qin Mu didn't have much energy to explain anything. He simply said that he had something to take care of and then stopped paying attention.

In just a moment, with the help of that strange spatial passage, Qin Mu completed the gathering of the insect swarm.

Even the swarm of insects hidden in the dim light was forcibly summoned.

Just as the burly, silver-scaled expert said, Qin Mu had been suppressing his emotions for far too long.

"Within the swarm, all 300,000 units that have completed the metamorphosis of the Lord of the Universe have been summoned."

The World Mother Nest is fully loaded, containing 100 Primal Seas and 1000 Ancient Trees of War, with other conventional units such as the Leviathan Fleet numbering in the trillions.

There are over 150 supreme treasures of various kinds.

This is the swarm's most elite fighting force. Although more could be gathered, there's no need.

The original plan for the expeditionary force was quite reasonable; all that was needed was to gather some of the Zerg's high-end forces.

At most, we'd just bring along some ordinary units, which isn't necessary.

When desired, the Primordial Sea and the Ancient Tree of War can hatch large numbers of them at any time.

"Senior, I am ready and can set off to accept the test at any time."

Qin Mu respectfully addressed the void.

A burly, powerful figure with silver scales appeared, looking at the World Mother Nest floating in the void with great interest, a mocking smile on his lips.

"Well prepared, they've brought over the elite of the Zerg swarm."

"Then let's set off. All you need to do is enter the Gate of Origin."

He was satisfied with Qin Mu's decisiveness. Although his strength was a bit weak, his ability to act was still quite good.

Qin Mu nodded slightly, but did not immediately enter. Instead, he asked the burly, silver-scaled expert.

"Senior, could you please tell me the specifics of this test? Also, how do I know if I've passed it?"

Whoosh!

The burly, powerful phantom figure in silver scales raised its arm, and a black beam flew toward Qin Mu's body.

Immediately, black lines appeared on Qin Mu's wrist.

"It's simple: survive. Fill the mark with energy, and you can call upon the Gate of Origin to send you back. You'll learn the rest once you get there."

The burly, powerful man with silver scales looked at Qin Mu.

To survive?

This seemingly simple request caused Qin Mu's pupils to shrink.

If he makes any demands that I can fulfill, that would be fine, but just to survive!

This means that the world outside this so-called Gate of Origin must be extremely dangerous, and that even survival would be difficult with one's own strength.

"I see."

"May I ask your name, senior? I will do my utmost to complete the test."

Qin Mu took a deep breath and nodded.

"Wait until you come back alive, then you will be worthy to know my name."

The burly, powerful man with silver scales nodded slightly.

"yes!"

Qin Mu stopped talking nonsense. If he were dead, there would be no need for him to know these things.

Immediately, he waved his hand, shrinking the World Mother Nest, which was suspended in mid-air, to its smallest size and putting it into his arms, before flying directly into the Gate of Origin.

Unlike when summoning the insect swarm, as soon as Qin Mu stepped into the Gate of Origin, he felt his whole body being enveloped and trapped inside a silver-white egg.

Whoosh!

Then the silvery-white egg suddenly pierced through space, as if it had stepped into a natural wormhole in the ocean of space, but unlike entering a natural wormhole and instantly arriving at a certain area.

The silvery-white egg moved faster and faster, hurtling through the void with an extremely violent and ferocious speed.

Through the silvery-white egg, Qin Mu seemed to see an endless black cloth.

Then the silvery-white egg crashed directly into the black cloth and passed through it. Its speed became increasingly violent, as if it were moving at high speed along a special channel.

boom!

Qin Mu immediately sensed an extremely chaotic surge of energy outside the silver-white egg.

The overwhelming surge of energy filled Qin Mu with fear.

Under this surging energy, Qin Mu understood that even his meticulously crafted World Mother Nest, or even a supreme treasure at the level of an Eternal True God, would be instantly annihilated.

"Where is this?"

Suppressing his shock, Qin Mu stared intently at the world behind the Silver Egg.

He saw an extremely large spherical celestial body.

It's way too big.

Even the primordial universe is as insignificant as dust in the face of this enormous celestial body.

"The Source World? This is actually the Source World I am in? The test that 'Jin' mentioned is not in the Source World I am in? What merit do I, a mere Lord of the Universe, possess?"

They actually went outside the Source World?

Qin Mu was thrilled and excited!

My guess was absolutely right! This burly, silver-scaled powerhouse is definitely Jin, the Lord-level Destruction Demon who can rival Yuan!

Perhaps only such a powerful being could easily send himself into other source universes.

Why was Qin Mu certain that he had left the source world he was in?

Because in the instant of breaking through that darkness.

The Zerg network then contained a vast amount of memories, including the massive amounts of inherited information about the Void God from the Broken East River and the Gem inheritance.

One must transcend reincarnation to know about matters beyond the Void God; this is a limitation imposed by the supreme laws within the Source World.

Qin Mu did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but he knew about it.

What does this tell us?

This strongly suggests that Qin Mu is no longer in the Origin World. Since he is not within the Origin World, the supreme laws of the Origin World cannot restrict him.

Within the Chaotic Origin Space, the Silver Egg's speed increased, and the Origin World behind it grew smaller and smaller.

"Too fast!"

Qin Mu looked around. He could see the outside world through the silver egg, but everything was blurry.

Even a vast and expansive 'source world' in the distance vanished from his sight in an instant, and he couldn't even make out what that source world looked like.

Then it was just swiping and swiping...

One after another, the source worlds flashed by.

Qin Mu could even occasionally see some enormous Chaos Origin life forms within the Chaos Origin Space, but the silver-white egg was too fast, and his own strength was too weak.

I could barely make out the outline before the other person disappeared from my sight.

"Who is that? How can they move so skillfully within the Chaotic Origin Space?"

Like a giant bear with nine heads and hundreds of eyes, the creature gazed at the direction where the trail had flashed by and muttered to itself.

"What a terrifying aura! A powerful expert like this could probably kill me with just a wisp of his aura. I'd better stay far away."

The giant bear monster immediately changed direction.

……

In the Hunyuan Space, Qin Mu didn't know how long he had been flying—a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years?

Or perhaps, in such an environment, there is no concept of time at all.

As for how many source worlds it passed through?

Qin Mu didn't know either.

Too many, far too many.

With his strength, even if he passed through one source world after another, he would not be able to record the coordinates or interfere with the flight of the Silver Egg.

Therefore, after leaving a trace of his consciousness to monitor the changes in the Hunyuan Space, Qin Mu devoted his main energy to the inheritance of Duan Donghe and Jiemu Egg.

"Rumble~~~~"

Suddenly, a green Origin World appeared in the distance. This green world burst forth with countless golden lightning bolts, constantly bombarding a thousand-eyed giant python in the Chaos Origin Space that was only slightly smaller than the Origin World.

This thousand-eyed python was a disgusting creature that Qin Mu had never seen before. Just one glance at it was enough to give Qin Mu a great shock.

Its massive body was covered in festering skin and muscles, and the necrotic flesh was covered with pustules from which yellowish liquid continuously oozed.

Due to the bombardment of silver lightning, wounds appeared on its body.

Through these wounds, Qin Mu could even see its intestines and other organs exposed, wriggling and rolling together.

What is terrifying is that from those rolling, writhing organs, tiny thousand-eyed pythons hatched and frantically pounced on the source world.

Despite the relentless barrage of golden lightning, some tiny, rotting thousand-eyed pythons still managed to burrow into the source world.

"What is this? A Chaos Origin Lifeform? A Chaos Origin Lifeform that is devouring the Origin World?"

Qin Mu stared in disbelief at the terrifying, rotting, thousand-eyed giant python.

At this moment, Qin Mu was extremely fortunate to be inside the silver-white egg.

Protected by a strange power, even when facing the rotting thousand-eyed python directly, one only feels some physical discomfort.

He had no doubt that without the protection of the Silver Egg, even a single glance at him would have driven him to utter madness.

Qin Mu learned from the inheritance of Duan Donghe that even if one wanted to study the lowest level of Hunyuan bloodline, one would at least need to possess the will of a saint.

Even so, on the Origin Continent, especially in the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, there are many Chaos Rulers and even God Kings who have fallen into madness due to the pollution of their bloodlines.

And this chaotic life form that is trying to devour the source world is probably not a low-level existence!

"No! No! No!"

Looking at the ever-expanding Chaos World, Qin Mu suddenly let out a terrified cry.

He was horrified to discover that the Silver Egg he was in seemed to be rushing toward the Source World, which was being devoured by the Rotting Thousand-Eyed Serpent!

"This! Holy crap! Is this the world I was meant to be in?"

Qin Mu roared with rage in his heart; it was true that he wanted a war.

What level am I at?

Regardless of what Qin Mu thought, as the silver egg drew closer to the source world, he still crashed headlong into it.

……

In a distant, higher world, there are three primordial beings.

One of the elders looked at the silver egg that had crashed into the green source world and spoke.

"Jin, your way of training the younger generation is a bit too extreme."

"This so-called Lord of Laws has been sent by you to the world of war with the Chaos Origin Life."

"This guy named Qin Mu is one of the most talented little guys I've observed in countless source worlds. Aren't you afraid of dying too quickly if you go there?"

In different source worlds, the lower-level rules will change.

Only by becoming a Cosmic God and establishing one's own rules can one survive in other source worlds. Below the level of a Cosmic God, leaving one's own source world almost certainly means certain death.

Although he is somewhat special, survival will still be difficult for him.

Another person, out of curiosity, investigated further.

"It's really interesting that it can split into countless clones and absorb excellent bloodline genes."

However, his strength is indeed too weak. Even if a chaotic life form has countless clones, it would go crazy on the spot if it just glanced at him.

Moreover, based on his demonstrated talent, he's at most at the ultimate level of a cosmic god; breaking free from his limitations would be difficult enough. Is it really worth all this effort from you?

The burly, powerful man with the silver-white scales known as "Gold" grinned.

"Heh, I find this kid pleasing to the eye, what's wrong with lending him a hand?"

"As for putting him into the war world of Hunyuan life, strong people cannot be raised in a greenhouse."

"Can't survive? That's certainly difficult for others."

But this wasn't a problem for Qin Mu. The environment in the Origin Continent's Source World was too mild, and the evolutionary and mutation potential of his insect swarm hadn't been fully realized.

"Elder, what future do you think he will have if we put him on the Origin Continent?"

For ordinary true gods, the Origin Continent is vast, and the Chaos Origin Space is immense.

But for a swarm of insects, it's too small.

"If he is allowed to grow step by step, he will follow the path of divine power, breaking through to become a true god with 90,000 times, or at most 100,000 times, his genes, and then go to the Origin Continent."

You don't really think those world beasts can kill him, do you?

Jin chuckled disdainfully, then with a wave of his hand, a stream of black energy swiftly traversed the vast distance and appeared above the rotting thousand-eyed serpent's body.

The rotten thousand-eyed serpent, which had been roaring and devouring the source world, froze instantly, and was then blasted apart by the golden lightning erupting from the source world.

"The Origin Continent is too small; he simply cannot develop properly."

This kid is living a rather stifled life, being confined in the primordial universe and the cosmic sea, not daring to fight with his full strength for fear of being targeted by the supreme rules.

If they went to the Origin Continent, they'd probably still be holding back.

He managed to turn the Zerg swarm, which is best at fighting, into a research tool.

A single source world is not suitable for a swarm.

Only the boundless primordial space is suitable.

Don't you think that the Zerg are creatures born for war?

Jin laughed as he casually crushed a high-level Chaos Origin life form to death.

"That's no reason to send him into this source world right now."

Within this source world, especially the microcosm you sent him into, it's already in a state of extreme pollution; he could easily die or go insane.

The old man, known as Yuan, shook his head.

"What happened on the Origin Continent?"

He's already planning to explore the Cosmic Sea. I've left some opportunities there; if he discovers them, he might be lucky enough to travel to the other three thousand Cosmic Seas as well.

This is much more reliable than going to other source worlds when you are the Lord of Laws.

When he grows up, he can go to the Realm Heart Continent.

"Three thousand cosmic seas? Too small! Too small for him."

Once the path is found, the massive swarm of insects can be wiped out with a single charge.

If it weren't for his suppression in the cosmic sea, all life forms except for those two Void Gods' microcosms would have been wiped out long ago.

I'm giving him a chance to vent!

As for that Realm Heart Continent you created, hmph... Elder thief, you painstakingly created the Realm Heart Continent, expending countless resources to cultivate it, yet to this day, not a single one has been able to escape its confines!

As for danger?

Where there are opportunities, there are also risks!

Upon encountering different worlds, he was able to access various cultivation systems and witness the unique life forms of those worlds.

This was the best opportunity for him.

This is not some secret technique; it can be compared to a fortuitous encounter.

10 times the gene?

That's merely a limitation imposed by the supreme rules of the Origin Continent.

"I've given him the opportunity; now it's up to him."

If he dies, it's because he lacked the ability and luck; I'm not a babysitter! (End of Chapter)
