Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Inside the temple, a group of beings exuding powerful auras gathered together, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

"Dark Master Uncle!"

"Master Peng!"

"..."

Luo Feng greeted everyone one by one, and finally stopped in front of the Lord of Darkness.

"Uncle-Master, please come to the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company after the meeting."

"I have basically completed the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage. As previously agreed, you will be the next Duan Donghe."

With a million years, plus a time flow rate ten thousand times faster in the core space of the Broken East River, a full 10 billion years will have passed, enough time for Luo Feng to learn all the important secret techniques and other secret methods inherited from the Broken East River.

"Is everything finished? Great!"

The Lord of Darkness's eyes lit up; even with his composure, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Over the course of six million years, he had become familiar with some of the basic traditions of the Duan Dong River, and was even more aware of how powerful its core traditions were.

As a fellow disciple, the Dark Lord was probably the most aware of the Chaos City Lord's strength.

Over countless years, the Lord of Chaos City was slightly stronger than him, but only by a limited margin.

Both of them are top-tier fifth-order experts.

After obtaining the blessing of the most powerful treasure, he only achieved the top level of the sixth rank.

However, as his understanding of the laws improved, especially after obtaining the inheritance of Duan Donghe, the Chaos City Lord's strength skyrocketed!

Under normal circumstances, he already possesses top-tier seventh-order strength. If he were to unleash the core secret technique of Duan Donghe, he could easily reach the eighth-order level!

How terrifying!

As for him, he is still at the top of the sixth rank.

The difference is enormous.

The same applies to Luo Feng, this rising star.

His current strength is almost equivalent to that of the Chaos City Lord, and this is all thanks to the core inheritance of Duan Donghe.

By inheriting the legacy of Duan Donghe, one can obtain a primordial embryo even stronger than the most powerful treasure, as well as many top-tier secret techniques.

Unfortunately, the Donghe lineage was severed, and only one person in each generation could inherit it.

In human society, one must be strong enough and make significant contributions to humanity in order to have a chance of inheriting a position.

Now it's finally his turn!

"Once you receive the inheritance, your strength will surely skyrocket! Humanity will have another top-tier expert! Engineer Peng, after the darkness, it will be your turn."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed beside him.

"Alright, I'll challenge you to a duel another time. You really beat me badly last time."

The Lord of Darkness smiled and nodded.

Apart from humans, they have no rivals, and no one dares to fight them, so they can only spar with their own people.

"Haha, I'm not in a hurry!"

During this time, I have gained a lot from studying the art of weapon crafting with the Master of Craftsmen and the others. Occasionally, the Mountain Guest would also give us some pointers.

The Mountain Hermit's skill in weapon crafting is truly formidable; he can easily forge even the most powerful and precious treasures.

A casual remark was like a revelation to us.

In just six million years, I have been able to refine a supreme treasure.

"If hundreds of millions of years pass, I am confident that I can forge the most powerful treasure!"

Peng Gong's eyes also lit up slightly, but he was not as excited as the Lord of Darkness.

Since joining the Hongmeng Alliance, Zuoshanke not only forges the most powerful treasures on the Craftsman God Star above the Qingfeng Realm, but also occasionally guides human weapon refiners.

This allowed the human race to make rapid progress in the art of weapon crafting. With the insect swarm providing ample materials and renowned masters offering guidance, it was difficult not to improve.

Aside from Peng Gong, there are two other universe masters in the human race who can forge top-tier treasures. In the past, these would have been the most top-tier weapon refiners in the original universe.

Further down the line, there are even more that can refine high-grade treasures.

It can be said that, apart from the divine power approach, weapon crafting is definitely one of the most popular directions among human races.

"Lord of the Dark Lotus, after me, the next Duan Donghe will be you."

With your strength, I can't even imagine how powerful you would become if you obtained the Duan Donghe inheritance again.

Your Zerg warriors are far too powerful; they actually possess the strength of a cosmic overlord!

Among our human race, only Luo Feng and the Lord of Chaos can rival you.

In a direct confrontation, even I and the darkness are no match.

As he spoke, Master Peng smiled and looked at a beautiful queen with delicate wings not far away.

"Hehe, that's different. My mother's lineage has a weak body but a strong soul. After Qin Mu's hundredfold gene limit-breaking method, it was raised to level 10081, and its weakness was made up for."

The legacy of the Gem is so perfectly suited to my mother's lineage.

The Empress said that the Gem inheritance is in no way inferior to the Broken East River inheritance, so its strength naturally increases faster.

The Lord of the Nether Lotus chuckled softly.

Over millions of years, thanks to the efforts of the Queen and Qin Mu, the Queen's lineage has been completely integrated into the human race.

The relationships among the various cosmic lords are also much better than in the past.

"The lineage of the Queen Mother is indeed too strong. Their souls are powerful, they can nurture a large number of strong individuals, and they can also use combined attack techniques and war techniques."

Many young geniuses are now attempting to create clones of the Queen Mother.

Luo Feng, standing to the side, also expressed his admiration.

In the past, when the Queen Mother's lineage reached the level of the Lord of the Universe, the Zerg warriors they cultivated were no longer of much use.

They almost all develop in the direction of the soul, belonging to the type with a serious imbalance in their studies.

However, after their weaknesses were compensated and they obtained the inheritance of the Gem, they all became extremely powerful, just like a smaller version of Qin Mu, who was terrifyingly strong.

He also studied things like the Gem legacy.

Unfortunately, many secret techniques are unusable or unsuitable.

"The younger generation today is indeed living in a great era!"

Although we have inherited the legacy, the resource consumption is too great, and even we cannot cultivate too many.

The next generation will be different; each of them will have a clone.

Moreover, they are all extremely powerful avatars of the divine body, such as the Nine Nether Sea and the World Tree. Once they rise to power…”

Lord of the Nether Lotus couldn't help but think of the geniuses of the Queen Mother's lineage and sighed.

Six million years has passed, which is not a long time for these cosmic masters, but for those little guys at the planetary and celestial levels, hundreds or thousands of generations have passed.

Through the Seed of Genes, a large number of geniuses have emerged from the human race on the battlefield of slaughter.

……

As the group chatted, more and more powerful humans gathered in the temple, and soon nearly 300 universe lords had gathered together.

"Boom~~~"

The heavens and earth roared.

Luo Feng and nearly three hundred other universe lords fell silent. The temple shone with brilliant light, and simultaneously, an enormous, exquisitely carved round table rose from within.

Thrones surrounded the round table.

The lords of the universe also sat upright.

The highest council of humankind has long been reformed, and only the Lord of the Universe can participate.

As for the Cosmic Venerables, their numbers within the human race are far too numerous to be considered high-ranking.

Above the many thrones was a row of even taller black thrones.

brush!

Qin Mu's figure appeared on the throne in the very center, while the seat that belonged to the Primordial Ancestor remained empty.

Then, next to them were the giant axe and the queen, while on the other side, the figure of the mountain dweller quietly appeared.

The top-tier powerhouses, such as the Lord of Chaos City, Luo Feng, and the Lord of the Nether Lotus, whose actual combat strength surpassed that of a true god, were ranked slightly below them.

Looking around at the powerful humans, especially some familiar figures, Qin Mu smiled.

The period of 600 million years ago was a period of explosive growth for human populations.

Not counting the Hongmeng, the number of universe masters among the human race is already close to 300!

With the aid of the Zerg Swarm, the Broken East River Legacy, and the Gem Legacy, the strength of the human race has undergone a qualitative change.

People like Lord Peng Gong, Lord of Chaos City, Lord of Darkness, and Lord of the Nether Lotus could become true gods at any time if they followed the path of laws.

However, they did not rush to improve, but instead embarked on the path of divine power.

While those like the Lord of Qingdong, the Lord of Huangjian, the Lord of Bingfeng, and the Lord of Longxing are slightly weaker, they are all top-tier sixth-order universe lords who could break through at any time.

This group of ancient cosmic masters, who did not inherit ancient civilizations, were able to become cosmic masters, which shows how strong their potential was.

Below that, Hong and Thor, who came out of Earth with him, are also prominently listed.

Both Hong and Thor have tremendous potential.

However, in the original timeline, Hong progressed very slowly in the early stages due to reasons such as his physical aptitude, and was the kind of person who achieved great things later in life.

But this time is different.

With his powerful will, he obtained 10081 perfect genes by adjusting the swarm of insects when he broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, and then directly rose to become a top cosmic overlord.

Not long after, he also broke through to become the Lord of the Universe.

Thor is similar.

On the contrary, Jia Yi is still stuck at the level of a top cosmic overlord.

It's not that Jia Yi lacks talent, but rather that he was too distracted, focusing a lot of his energy on the Huaxia Universe Kingdom, which caused his cultivation to be slightly slower.

But his efforts did have an effect.

Today, the Chinese lineage is incredibly powerful, belonging to one of the most elite branches of the human race.

Each battle of geniuses produces an astonishing number of geniuses.

While Qin Mu was looking at the Lord of the Universe below, the people below were also looking at Qin Mu!

Qin Mu's strength goes without saying.

That being is capable of suppressing everyone in the cosmic sea single-handedly, so it's normal for it to appear at the top.

Only the appearance of the mountain dweller caused some commotion.

Although the Mountain Guest had joined the Hong Alliance in the past, he had never participated in a meeting between humans, but this time he actually sat down right next to the giant axe!

Even Luo Feng's location is a little lower.

This immediately caught the attention of some newly crowned rulers of the universe.

Moreover, with Luo Feng's strength, even a True God wouldn't be his match, right?

However, considering that the Mountain Recluse was the strongest weapon refiner in the entire universe, all the universe lords quieted down again. After all, he was the only being in the entire universe who could refine the most powerful treasures.

My ultimate treasure for the future will depend on him!

It would be a good thing if the Mountain Dwellers could truly integrate into the human race.

Only Luo Feng, standing to the side, was quite excited.

The Lord of Chaos City was his teacher, and the Mountain-Sitting Guest was also his teacher!

He had once worried that the Mountain Dwellers would become hostile to the human race because of the Yan Emperor's affair.

Unexpectedly, thanks to Qin Mu's efforts, Zuo Shan Ke joined the Hong Alliance and has now completely joined the human race. How could he not be happy?

"Everyone!"

Qin Mu's majestic voice echoed down, and the entire Pantheon fell silent.

"Every time the Supreme Council is convened, it is because of a major event that can affect the entire tribe, and this time is no exception."

"This supreme meeting was convened because I discovered another primordial universe during my exploration of the depths of the cosmic ocean!"

boom!

"Another primordial universe?"

Almost all the rulers of the universe showed expressions of shock.

"The primordial universe is the birthplace of countless lives. Whether it is the first cycle of reincarnation, the second cycle of reincarnation, or those two holy lands, they all originated from the primordial universe."

And what does an unknown, primordial universe mean?

Qin Mu's face was serious.

He did not directly state the origins of the three thousand primordial universes.

It was mainly for the sake of secrecy.

It's one thing for others to know, but they can't transmit the information to the Origin Continent anyway. But it's different for Ancestor Ziyue and Ancestor Dongyue, because their true forms are on the Origin Continent.

If the news were to leak out by accident, given their current strength, traveling to the Origin Continent would be a considerable problem in the future.

"We need to find a way to deal with these two holy sites!"

A thought flashed through Qin Mu's mind: even if he couldn't kill them, he would at least destroy their holy land universe!

Wow!

Almost the instant Qin Mu spoke, the many universe lords in the entire temple erupted in uproar.

Those of you here are all masters of the universe, how could you not understand what another primordial universe represents?

That means countless opportunities!

Immense wealth!

"Another primordial universe? How is that possible! Through countless cycles of reincarnation, I've never heard of another primordial universe!"

"Did the Zerg swarm discover this while exploring the depths of the cosmic ocean?"

"I had heard before that Qin Mu, the Overlord, was going to form an expeditionary force to explore the cosmic sea. Millions of years ago, most of the top units of the insect swarm had also disappeared."

Could it be that we're going on an expedition to the depths of the cosmic ocean?

"Definitely! The vast majority of the Zerg's powerful units have disappeared, and those alien races were trying to take advantage of the situation. If it weren't for the immense power of the Giant Axe and the Queen, who knows what kind of chaos would have ensued!"

How far away is that primordial universe from us? What is their strength?

"..."

The lords of the universe immediately erupted in a heated discussion.

"Quiet! Let me finish!"

Qin Mu spoke up.

Immediately, all the lords of the universe below fell silent, listening intently for fear of missing anything.

"In this vast universe, humanity is undoubtedly the strongest, and no one dares to challenge us."

You have no rivals, and even opportunities are hard to come by.

But in the endless ocean of space, this is not the case.

"For example, in this primordial universe I discovered, I discovered more than a dozen sacred universes!"

The largest of these holy sites in the universe is nearly 10 billion light-years away.

Even the smallest one is roughly the same size as the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land.

The number of powerful individuals among them is probably countless.

This time, all the lords of the universe were shocked.

The Eastern Emperor's Holy Land, as the oldest holy land in the Cosmic Sea, has lived through countless reincarnations, and its microcosm has a diameter of 32 billion light-years.

The entire Eastern Emperor Holy Land has as many as four or five hundred Universe Lords.

But the primordial universe discovered by the swarm actually contained more than a dozen sacred sites.

The largest holy site has a diameter of nearly 10 billion light-years?

How many cosmic lords could there be in such a vast holy land?

Several thousand, or tens of thousands?

There are more than a dozen such holy sites in the universe!

Most importantly, what is the strength of those holy land lords? Are they like the Purple Moon Ancestor and the Eastern Emperor Ancestor, unable to come out, or are they able to take action directly?

The further one progresses in cultivation, the greater the difference in strength between different levels becomes.

For example, if these 300 human universe masters were to actually fight against Giant Axe and the Queen, they wouldn't even be enough for Giant Axe to kill them all by himself.

But Giant Axe and the others are just true gods!

If the lord of that holy land, with a diameter of billions of light-years, were to emerge, how terrifying would it be?

If we're not careful, someone might try to hack into our system, and then we'll end up losing more than we gain.

However, when they thought of Qin Mu's almost invincible swarm of insects, everyone calmed down.

What about the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land?

They were completely suppressed by the Zerg swarm, and didn't even dare to come out of the Holy Land universe.

"Our strength is already unmatched in this vast cosmic ocean! But if we want to become even stronger, we must continue to explore outwards."

Looking at the silent human universe master, Qin Mu spoke slowly.

This is a primordial universe that he carefully selected.

The strongest among them is only a Void True God, but there are quite a few of them, a total of 16!

Qin Mu did not know exactly how many powerful individuals there were.

The 16 sacred universes are virtually invincible enemies for humanity.

But for the insect swarm, it's really nothing.

After all, the strongest beings in the cosmic sea are only at the level of true gods. Since the true gods of the void can only send out divine power avatars at most, they can't really do much against the giant axe and the empress.

It's perfect for the first exploration, to give humans some practice.

As for the even stronger, primordial universes that possess eternal true gods, we'll leave them for later, when we're stronger enough to explore them slowly.

"Through the inheritance I obtained from the swarm, I can tell you that all the true forms of the Holy Land Universe Lords are no longer within the Holy Land Universe after they have entered the cycle of reincarnation."

At most, they would send out some weak divine avatars.

Therefore, your greatest adversaries are still those cosmic rulers, the true gods!

Qin Mu looked down.

"In this cosmic ocean of ours, because of the presence of the insect swarm, you have no opportunity to make a move, which is not a good thing for you."

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

"I can tell you! This time, I explored the universe and obtained countless treasures! I also obtained countless inheritances!"

But I will not give it to you for free.

If you want to pass on your skills, you have to work hard to achieve it!

Countless traditions?!

Wow!

Immediately, the lords of the universe below became excited.

The foundation of the Broken East River's inheritance has already qualitatively changed their strength. The core inheritance allows the Chaos City Lord and Luo Feng to easily suppress the strongest beings in the universe.

However, this inheritance can only be passed down to one person.

Humanity has nearly 300 universe masters, and their numbers are increasing. When will it be their turn?

But the inheritance that Qin Mu mentioned is clearly not like that.

"Moreover, as the master of the universe, you are a member of the highest council! That means... you have become the backbone of the human race."

"The human race needs the contributions of you truly strong individuals! Only through your contributions can billions of humans, geniuses throughout history, and countless immortal resources be enjoyed."

"You risk your lives to obtain treasures and resources to offer to your people! Everything will be recorded in contribution points... You can also use contribution points to exchange for any treasures and resources you need."

"You are fully capable of making huge contributions to our human race, and you can exchange the resources and treasures you need with your contribution points."

When all the universe lords of the human race at the highest meeting were shocked, Qin Mu finally spoke again.

"That primordial universe is extremely far away from us, and it is impossible to travel there by conventional means."

However, over the years, the Swarm has acquired a legacy that allows them to open a super teleportation wormhole, enabling you to travel directly there!

But this requires a lot of energy.

Therefore, it is expected that the exploration of the unknown universe will not truly begin until 1 years from now.

People can make preparations during these 1 years.

For example, a team of several strong individuals who can complement each other, or by making contributions, one can exchange them for some of the inheritances or treasures I bring back, etc.

Let everything be prepared within this millennium.

A thousand years from now, our human race will venture into this unknown, primordial universe.

Qin Mu said calmly.

"In addition, besides the formal development 1000 years from now, we also need to select a group of strong individuals with powerful wills and the ability to create clones to go to that primordial universe in advance for exploration."

"Those interested in traveling to this primordial universe, please let me know!" (End of Chapter)
