Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Whoosh!

The World Mother Nest swept through the void past a large number of corrupted entities engaged in fierce combat below, flying at high speed towards the imperial capital of the Ancient Origin Continent.

Too much!

This area, resembling the headquarters of a virtual universe company in the primordial universe, is teeming with powerful individuals.

During his flight alone, Qin Mu discovered several beings at the level of Universe Lords, which are referred to as Great Powers in this universe.

As for ordinary Universe Venerables, there are even more terrifying beings below the Universe Venerable level, which makes Qin Mu dare not use teleportation at all.

Qin Mu's time in this universe was ultimately too short; the intense spatial fluctuations were practically telling these pollutants his location coordinates.

As he flew, Qin Mu's consciousness was mostly focused on the 21 cultivation methods of the universe that Chu Tianrui had given him, including the bloodline cultivation system.

The Origin Continent and the Three Thousand Cosmic Seas exist in different times and spaces and cannot communicate with each other.

Between the universes of this source world, there are channels between universes of varying sizes.

With its immense power, Wanmo Universe directly conquered nine universes. However, there are also other universes connected by small and medium-sized universe channels, where cultivation methods can also be obtained.

It is precisely this mutual exchange that makes the Wanmo Universe far more powerful than the original universe.

"If possible, after returning to the original universe, we should also find a way to establish communication between the 3000 cosmic seas."

A thought flashed through Qin Mu's mind, and then he quickly checked the cultivation methods of these 21 universes.

Every cultivation system is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless beings in a universe, and it is the source of their strength!

Knowledge is power!

This was the best opportunity for Qin Mu.

One after another, primordial seas, ancient war trees, and even powerful entities like insect hive tyrants and innate beast gods began to absorb the vast and boundless cultivation system.

The inheritance within that crystal even included numerous methods and explanations.

Explanation from a powerful being in the universe of Ten Thousand Demons.

While the bloodline cultivation system primarily relies on bloodline awakening, it also absorbs the advantages of other universe cultivation systems to enhance its own strength.

How vast is the soul network of the Zerg swarm?

Soon, he had read through all 21 cultivation systems and made a general summary of them.

Unlike the original universe, the rules of this source world do not restrict the powerful beings within the Demon Mountain universe from knowing higher-level information.

"There are 21 cultivation systems, many of which belong to the same type. For example, the system of rules and mysteries, five of which are based on the system of rules and mysteries, with only minor differences."

In addition, there are the bloodline cultivation system, witch cultivation system, divine weapon system, and so on in the Demon Mountain Universe.

These systems, because of their different creators, can reach different ultimate levels.

Only three of these systems can lead directly to the ultimate existence!

Qin Mu's eyes lit up as he looked at it.

What is meant by "ultimate"?

By comparing the inheritance of the Broken East River and the inheritance of the Gem, the so-called ultimate being replaced by the Origin Continent means that one can become a God King and create one's own universe!

Of the 21 different systems, only three can become God-Kings. The reason for this is that even the strongest creators of some systems failed to become God-Kings.

After all, it is just a small universe, and the strong within it can only explore and move forward on their own. However, due to their limited vision and strength, they are ultimately somewhat limited.

"The Bloodline Rule System is the fastest way to enhance the strength of the insect swarm. This will be of great help to my research on the subsequent enhancement of my divine body."

Qin Mu glanced at it briefly, and his heart was filled with excitement.

This system has a much deeper understanding of bloodlines, making it even stronger than the Divine Power Flow in Duan Donghe's lineage!

However, the two sides had completely different approaches. After only looking at some of the basics, Qin Mu felt countless inspirations bursting forth in his mind.

At the same time, Qin Mu was also looking at another system that could lead to becoming a God King—the Witch Cultivation System!

This system is very special. It is different from the bloodline flow that explores itself, and it is different from the flow of rules that comprehends the laws. They study all things.

By finding the deepest secrets in all things, and using these secrets, the 'shamans' become very powerful!

"Studying the essence of all things? Perfect for me."

Qin Mu said with delight.

In a sense, the path he took was to study the essence of all things.

This applies to both secret rune diagrams and bloodline research.

However, he studied it all by himself, yet it is a complete lineage of a school of thought.

Then, Qin Mu looked at another system that could lead directly to the God King realm: the strongest warrior cultivation system!

The more he looked, the brighter the light in Qin Mu's eyes became.

"This system is similar to the body-refining style I've been researching, but it's much more powerful."

Compared to crafting supreme treasures, this system is much more suitable for insect swarms!

The strong in this system use cultivation to deeply transform their bodies.

They can study a seemingly ordinary drop of blood as if it were a planet, or even a single particle as if it were a continent, and reconstruct it.

Unlike the Divine Power Stream, which simply enhances genes, they pay more attention to the microscopic level!

As they cultivate, they are able to delve deeper into their studies, examining themselves at a more 'micro' level, and subsequently transforming themselves at an even more microscopic level.

Their goal in cultivation is to make their bodies as powerful as a universe.

They are always pursuing the ultimate!

Those who walk this path don't need weapons, because their bodies are the strongest weapons. They can easily devour and digest weapons.

They don't need armor; their skin is incredibly tough.

"Hahaha, isn't this the Zerg swarm I've always dreamed of?"

The minions of the insect swarm are the best weapons, and their carapaces are the best armor!

This is what a swarm of insects should look like!

Qin Mu was overjoyed.

If he hadn't been forced into it, why would he have thought of learning weapon crafting?

To armor units in the Zerg swarm, especially ordinary combat units, is simply heresy!

There's nothing we can do about it.

Even with numerous powerful talents, the insectoid swarm's body was still too fragile after breaking through to the immortal flesh and blood god form.

Without the blessing of a supreme treasure, it would be impossible to contend with a powerhouse of the same level.

"The era when the Zerg needed a supreme treasure to fight against other powerful beings is over!"

With the support of the strongest warrior system, the Zerg swarm will undergo a fundamental transformation!

The bloodline system, the witchcraft system, and the strongest warrior system are all incredibly powerful.

Among them, the bloodline system and the strongest warrior system can rapidly enhance the swarm's combat power, while the witch doctor system will lay an incredibly solid foundation for the swarm, allowing it to go even further!

And these are only three of them.

"The Devouring System devours everything and integrates it into itself! It can devour all kinds of rare treasures, even life and souls, and even the universe!"

The Devouring System also exists in the primordial universe and on the Origin Continent.

The most typical example is the Golden Horned Beast, which is a naturally devouring species.

This system has two key aspects. One is the increasingly complex method of devouring. The method required to devour ordinary life is naturally different from the method required to devour a Void Divine Weapon!

Another key is the ability to absorb and transform what is devoured into oneself. This method of transformation and absorption varies at different levels.

"Although the Devouring System is relatively weak among the many powerful systems of the same level, with the inheritance of the Devouring System, the swarm will grow much faster!"

"Divine Weapon System..."

As Qin Mu looked through each cultivation system, he became incredibly excited.

For the average strong person, each system requires a lot of time and effort.

Therefore, one can generally only specialize in one thing, and others are just for reference or supplementation.

For example, studying all things is actually more complicated than understanding the mysteries of rules.

The strongest warrior training system requires a body that is no simpler to study than an entire universe.

As for bloodline cultivation, one must possess the corresponding bloodline to cultivate.

Some systems, such as the Gengjin system, are similar to the strongest warrior system in terms of body cultivation, but only metal life forms can cultivate them.

But what problem is that for Qin Mu?

With countless swarms of insects, he can cultivate all systems simultaneously!

If there is no bloodline, then analyze and hatch a batch of them.

Metallic body?

The swarm is full of metallic life forms!

Given the sheer size and unique nature of the insect swarm, it's entirely possible to bring these cultivation systems together and create an incredibly powerful insect swarm!

"Unfortunately, time was too tight, and I simply didn't have time to study at my own pace."

Qin Mu sighed softly.

If possible, he would also like to calm down and slowly study and ponder these different universe systems.

Unfortunately, time did not permit it.

How vast is the knowledge system of a universe?

Even for a swarm of insects, it would take at least tens of thousands of years, or even longer, to fully comprehend the complete system of a universe.

But with the destruction of the Wanmo Universe imminent, there was clearly not enough time for him to slowly study it.

"We can only study it in battle and learn from it in actual combat."

Qin Mu thought to himself, while looking at a primeval sea that had been isolated, where some of the infected creatures he had captured along the way were located.

Seeing the increasingly distorted infected, and especially sensing the rotting thousand-eyed giant python appearing in the swarm's network memory, Qin Mu's joy faltered.

"As expected of the pollution from the Chaos Origin life form, even some weak beings that have mutated due to bloodline contamination possess such a strong polluting power!"

"I see it!"

When capturing these bloodline contaminated entities, Qin Mu naturally analyzed them.

As the analysis deepened, Qin Mu was horrified to discover that an incredibly enormous python with thousands of eyes and a rotting body had appeared in his memory in an extremely bizarre way!

"It really is it! The strange being that fought against the golden lightning outside the Source World."

Unlike when he saw it through the Egg of Destruction, Qin Mu felt only instinctive fear when he saw it!

That's suppression at the level of life itself, fear stemming from the very instinct of life!

This fear was far greater than when facing the power of the Beast of the Realm.

What's worse, the more you study it, the clearer the memory becomes, and the stronger the fear becomes.

"During the research, the swarm became infected!"

In the past, it was always the insect swarms that infected other life forms; this time, it was the insects that were contaminated!

Fortunately, the pollutants I studied were very small, and the pollution was not severe.

With my will, I can resist.

However, if we study the more potent pollutants, the pollution levels might worsen.

Qin Mu tried to erase that memory, but he couldn't!

This memory has permeated and integrated into the entire Zerg network; even if one destroys all memories, this memory will still resurface.

This is memory pollution, a memory pollution belonging to the Hunyuan bloodline!

Even reincarnation cannot remove the memory pollution!

This is recorded in the tradition of Duan Donghe.

"So what if there's pollution? So what if there's fear?"

Qin Mu remained calm.

He sensed this possibility when he was actively researching.

"Power comes at a price!"

"As long as my will is strong enough, I can resist this pollution."

"As long as I am strong enough, even the true form of that rotting thousand-eyed serpent can be dragged onto the swarm's dissection table!"

"I am the ruler of the swarm!"

Qin Mu roared in a low, angry voice.

"The problem now is that these contaminated entities are devouring and evolving each other too quickly. I must completely eliminate them before a large number of Void Gods evolve into them!"

Looking at the Primordial Sea, where countless creatures of their kind had been devoured and evolved into immortal pollutants, Qin Mu's voice was cold.

"Ninety percent of life in the entire universe is infected. There are too many of them. In battle, the swarm must devour their corpses to obtain energy, so it was only a matter of time before they were contaminated."

So, the next question is whether the swarm's evolutionary capabilities are stronger, or whether these contaminants are more corrupting!

Amidst the roar, an incredibly massive city appeared before Qin Mu.

That was the ancient Origin Continent, the capital city where countless powerful members of the Chu Tian family gathered.

There are abundant resources and countless treasures there.

This was the key area where Qin Mu could quickly enhance the combat power of his insect swarm. (End of Chapter)
