Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Amidst the vast, chaotic air currents, ten figures concealing their auras flew at breakneck speed, occasionally using teleportation to rapidly advance eastward.

Occasionally, it would glide past some void continents, mountains, and rivers floating in the chaotic air currents.

"This cosmic sea seems no different from our homeland."

Above a mountain range stretching for hundreds of kilometers, after careful inspection revealed no native life, the Lord of Chaos murmured.

"That's right, it's no different from any other dangerous place in the cosmic sea."

Hong withdrew his spreading divine power and confirmed it.

Having lived in the cosmic sea for millions of years, they are quite familiar with some of the common knowledge about the cosmic sea.

Upon arriving at the area, everyone was very cautious and did not split up to explore. Instead, they planned to obtain some basic information before making any further plans.

"That's normal! Although we're not in the same dimension or spacetime, we're essentially all within the cosmic ocean."

As Qin Mu spoke, a stream of light flew from his hand and disappeared into the depths of the mountains, transforming into a miniature mother nest about a hundred miles high, which quickly blended into the surrounding environment.

This small mother hive cannot produce very strong swarm units, but it is excellent as a node in the soul network and has extremely strong stealth capabilities.

Ordinary true gods are difficult to find without careful searching.

"Let's get going. We're not familiar with this cosmic ocean, so we can't use wormholes to travel quickly. We can only use teleportation to get there."

Fortunately, it's not far from that perilous place, only a trillion light-years away, so we'll arrive in no time.

Qin Mu shook his head.

How vast is the universe?

Finding a natural wormhole in completely unfamiliar surroundings is no easy task.

Even if I encountered it, I wouldn't just go in.

Does anyone know what's on the other side of a wormhole?

If you are in an extremely dangerous place, you are courting death.

Even Qin Mu wouldn't recklessly barge into an unfamiliar wormhole; instead, he would send reconnaissance units to probe it first.

This is not the universe they are familiar with.

Unlike my home in the cosmic ocean, where countless natural wormholes have been connected over an endless period of time, the locations of the two points have long been recorded, allowing me to find the fastest route to my destination.

Immediately, the ten-person reconnaissance team set off again, flying and teleporting into the vast ocean of space.

half a month later.

"Hmm? There's something going on ahead!"

Qin Mu, who was on his way, suddenly spoke, and the other nine people immediately stopped breathing and became serious.

Almost instantly, the group of ten dispersed, forming a huge encirclement and rushing forward.

With their strength, even without Qin Mu's intervention, they could fight against top-tier True Gods.

Therefore, everyone had already discussed that once they encountered native life forms, they should capture them immediately and obtain information about universe number 0001.

As they moved quickly forward, Chaos City Lord, Luo Feng, and the others spotted a strange beast in the distance, resembling a bird with huge scales, wings, and a blue head.

"It's a ruler of the universe! Make your move!"

brush!

Just as the blue flying beast sensed something was wrong and discovered several unfamiliar humanoid beings it had never seen before, an invisible spatial force swept across and imprisoned the entire space.

hum!

The blue flying beast's expression changed drastically in an instant. It roared angrily, and its pair of wings flapped, bursting out with intense light, as if it wanted to forcibly tear apart the sealed space.

"Hmm? What kind of ability is this? It can actually tear apart the space I sealed off?"

To everyone's surprise, Qin Mu intensified his spatial sealing power, almost completely condensing spatial fluctuations to eliminate any possibility of teleportation.

At the same time, the rest of the team members took action and firmly restrained him.

The cyan beast fought back fiercely, unleashing power comparable to an ordinary fourth-order universe lord, but these people were at least sixth-order top-tier experts.

No matter how much it struggled, it was all in vain.

Several individuals skilled in soul attacks, such as Hong and the Lord of Ink Butterfly, unleashed their soul techniques simultaneously.

Qin Mu did not rush to make a move, allowing the others to use their methods.

In just a moment, the blue flying beast calmed down, its expression showing confusion.

Clearly, he has been controlled by a soul.

"Lord of Illusion, your will is indeed powerful; you have managed to control its soul first."

The Lord of Ink Butterflies flapped his wings and looked at Hong with some admiration.

As a powerful figure from the lineage of the Queen Mother, she was born with ten thousand soul essences and an incredibly strong will, yet she was overwhelmed by Hong when she made her move just now.

"Some petty tricks, not worth mentioning."

Hong smiled slightly and looked at the blue flying beast that was being controlled by the soul.

He was chosen as a disciple by the Giant Axe because of his strong will, which led him to the path of the Illusionist martial artist.

The giant axe's strength goes without saying; under his tutelage, only the Dark Lord among the human race is slightly better than him in the Illusionist style.

"First, we need to get information from him! We need to know how many forces and powerful individuals are in this cosmic sea, especially those cosmic holy lands."

There is also information about the perilous lands within this cosmic sea.

The Lord of Chaos looked at the blue flying beast.

Hong nodded and immediately began asking questions.

The azure flying beast, now a soul slave, spoke freely and began to recount in detail the powerful figures of various forces in this cosmic sea.

"The Cosmic Sea has 16 holy lands. The universe is divided into 10 forces, the strongest of which is the clan led by the Xuanlong Ancestor, the Huanshi Ancestor, and the Qianye Ancestor."

Among them, the Xuanlong progenitor is the oldest and most powerful. It is said that the Xuanlong is a special life form that was born in the primordial universe a very long time ago.

His sacred universe is 70 billion light-years in diameter, and under his leadership, this race alone has 4 powerful beings who have transcended reincarnation. The smallest of his sacred universes is 40 billion light-years in diameter.

The Xuanlong clan has more than 5,000 Universe Lords and 46 True God Powerhouses.

Eight of them were created within the last 100 million epochs…

The blue beast spoke with a blank expression.

"Wait! No! The Xuanlong clan has 8 True Gods born within this hundred million epoch?"

The birth of a true god requires possessing one's own microcosm. Would this so-called Ancestor Xuanlong be willing to divide his own microcosm?

Qin Mu frowned and interrupted him.

Thanks to having left the Source World, I was able to access all the inheritances of the Broken East River.

Therefore, Qin Mu was very familiar with the information about the Void God.

After the Void True God breaks through, the smallest diameter of the small universe is 100 billion light-years, and the largest diameter is 10 billion light-years (10 times the level of life genes), depending on the structure.

The weaker ones are 20 billion light-years away, the stronger ones are 30 billion light-years away, the elite ones are 40 billion light-years away, and the peerless geniuses are over 50 billion light-years away.

Their Purple Moon Sanctuary, with a diameter of only 21 light-years, is considered very weak.

The fact that the universe of the Ancestral Holy Land of Xuanlong can reach 70 billion light-years is a testament to its unparalleled genius, which is not surprising to Qin Mu.

After all, this is the strongest being in the endless cycle of reincarnation within the cosmic sea.

Even though his microcosm has a diameter of 70 billion light-years, it is possible to separate a small universe to nurture a true god.

Although the true god's microcosm is not large, it is still 1 million light-years wide.

However, this behavior can cause considerable damage to one's own inner strength.

Splitting into one group is understandable, perhaps because a peerless genius emerged from the group, but splitting into eight groups is a bit strange.

"It's because of the threat from the Realm Beasts, and also because the Fourth Forbidden Land—the Wutong World—flew out from the depths of the cosmic sea billions of years ago!"

Even though the blue flying beast was controlled by a soul, its expression still showed excitement.

"A Beast of the Realm? The Fourth Forbidden Zone?"

The Chaos City Lord, Luo Feng, and others, who had some knowledge of the World Beasts, changed their expressions slightly. They hadn't expected that there would be a World Beast crisis in this cosmic sea!

The Lord of Star Prison and the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse, however, were unaware of the Beast of the Realm and were filled with suspicion.

Soon, the azure flying beast gave a general overview of the information about the Beast of the Realm, which was similar to what Qin Mu already knew, only more detailed.

For example, the different stages, strengths, and numbers of the Beasts of the Realm left the Lord of Star Prison and the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse horrified and incredulous.

A billion true gods!

Such terrifying strength would be difficult for even Qin Mu's swarm of insects to withstand, right?

Even those who knew in advance, such as the Chaos City Lord and Luo Feng, had solemn expressions.

"The Fourth Forbidden Zone is an extremely powerful and unique Forbidden Zone that was pulled out from the depths of the cosmic sea by the primordial cosmic will billions of years ago."

This is a charred black object, about 20 billion light-years tall, resembling a towering sycamore tree!

What's most special is that this towering tree contains countless passages that lead to one of its inner universes, a special world filled with countless powerful beings!

It is said that the Xuanlong Ancestor was able to continuously split his microcosm because the powerful members of the Xuanlong clan obtained some special treasure that allowed him to recover quickly.

... "

The blue flying birds and beasts continued their tale, and while the people around them listened with solemn expressions, they became increasingly excited.

This universe is too powerful.

The Xuanlong clan has a total of 46 True God powerhouses, among whom the most powerful are not those True Gods who have lived for countless years and whose microcosms have long since decayed.

Instead, they are those eight newly ascended true gods from nearly a hundred million epochs ago!

These eight True Gods are the most talented beings of the Xuanlong Clan in the endless cycle of reincarnation. They have obtained the inheritance within the world of the giant Wutong Tree, and there are two of them who are Tenth-Order True Gods!

The rest were all top-tier ninth-order True Gods.

In addition, the other ethnic groups are also extremely powerful.

For example, the Phantom Lion Clan, led by the Phantom Lion Ancestor, was the most powerful peak clan in the primordial universe before the endless cycle of reincarnation, with three powerful individuals within the clan transcending reincarnation.

Because of the emergence of the Wutong World, the power has greatly increased, and six new True Gods have emerged, including one of them, a Tenth-Order True God!

As for the Chiba clan, they are even more special.

Although this race only has two sacred universes, they are plant life forms!

The benefits gained from entering the Wutong World are greater than those of the Xuanlong and Huanshi races combined.

Because the world of the sycamore tree is filled with plant life!

Thanks to their ethnic characteristics, they occupy a high position in the Wutong World, possessing a wealth of resources and heritage, and have cultivated as many as 15 true gods!

Moreover, there are 3 True Gods at the tenth rank!

It can be said that they directly overwhelmed the once most powerful Xuanlong clan.

As for the other seven factions, each has its own holy land universe, and their strength is somewhat weaker.

But if you add them all together, they are only slightly inferior to these three major powers.

These 16 holy land universes alone contain more than 200 true gods and more than 15000 universe lords!

Besides these 16 holy land universes, there are also hundreds of scattered strong individuals from the three great cycles of reincarnation, each possessing a large number of powerful individuals.

Especially in the third era of reincarnation, the number of powerful beings born in the primordial universe, like Qin Mu and his group, was terrifying, with nearly 100 True Gods alone.

Although their quality is somewhat inferior to those carefully selected from holy lands and universes, they still include top-tier powerhouses.

All things considered, the number of true gods is around 400, and the number of lords of the universe exceeds 2!

And this is almost entirely due to the changes brought about by the Wutong World.

How could the Chaos City Lord and Luo Feng not be overjoyed?

Those who possess special plant-based life forms, such as Hong, Lei Shen, and the Lord of the Ancestral Tree, were especially excited.

Characters like Hong and Thor possess clones of the World Tree!

Long ago, Qin Mu successfully researched the evolutionary path of the Tree of Life into the World Tree and popularized it among the human race.

The World Tree clone, much like the Nine Nether clone, is a must-have for all geniuses with the talent of creating clones.

As for the Ancestral Tree Master, his plant avatar is equally extraordinary, being a top-tier special life ancestral tree whose size is second only to the World Tree!

Of course, this cosmic sea is just too powerful!

Even the mighty giant axe and the queen probably couldn't withstand a direct confrontation.

Like them, there are as many as nine other tenth-order True God powerhouses.

Even Qin Mu was excited.

Needless to say, plants can multiply, and insects have plenty of them too.

The World Tree, the Ancient Tree of War, the Tree of Wisdom...

The newly born Void Tree, in particular, is the ultimate existence that surpasses all other special life forms, including plants.

What truly excited him was that this towering tree, which resembled a phoenix tree, was definitely the corpse of a God-King level expert!

And that so-called Wutong World was his microcosm, just like the Jin World where the corpse of the Jin God King was!

Unexpectedly, in order to deal with the crisis of the World Beasts, this primordial universe also pulled a god-king's corpse from the depths of the cosmic sea.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Qin Mu immediately had the blue flying beast send over the image of the giant phoenix tree, and contacted the Mountain Guest in his home universe through the insect network.

As they explored, the footage was transmitted in real time to the Mountain Dwellers, the Giant Axe, and the Queen behind them via the insect swarm network.

Inside a temple within the Zerg swarm network.

Qin Mu, Giant Axe, Empress, Mountain Guest, and even the Primordial Ancestor, among other high-ranking human figures, are all included.

"Mountain Dweller, do you know anything about the life of this phoenix tree?"

Qin Mu stared intently at the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

There isn't much information recorded about God-King level experts in the Duan Donghe inheritance, and Qin Mu couldn't determine the identity of that giant phoenix tree.

But the person sitting on the mountain might know the truth.

If you have some information, you might be able to gain an advantage when you go in to explore.

Giant Axe, Empress, and Primordial Ancestor all looked at the Mountain-Sitting Guest. They already knew the Mountain-Sitting Guest and Qin Mu's reincarnation identities, and that they possessed information about those who had passed through reincarnation.

"A powerful being whose true form was an ancient phoenix tree, and who had fallen from grace?"

As the mountain dweller gazed at the image of the giant phoenix tree, he recalled in his mind the powerful figures who matched the description on the Origin Continent.

The Origin Continent is not large for a single God-King, but information about other God-Kings is something every God-King must master.

"Could it be him? The God King of Wutong?"

"No doubt about it! It's him!"

Suddenly, the mountain dweller's expression changed slightly, and information about a powerful figure appeared in his mind.

He immediately looked at Qin Mu and took a deep breath.

This is a huge opportunity!

If I'm not mistaken, this is someone who is a level stronger than me!

Unexpectedly, he too perished.

"One level stronger than you?"

Qin Mu was startled.

Both the three generations of the Duan Donghe Ancestor and the Mountain Guest were actually at the first level of the Divine King realm.

If it's a level stronger, wouldn't that be the second level of the God King realm?

The difference in strength between each level of God-King is enormous, almost incomparable.

"Back then, his story caused quite a stir in my hometown and even the world..." (End of Chapter)
