Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

The world of Wutong, on the edge of the Lingliu tribe.

Qin Mu sat cross-legged under the World Tree, holding a willow-leaf longsword of the highest level of treasure in his hands.

"This willow-leaf dagger is quite interesting. It's similar to the rare artifacts I've obtained before, but it's more suitable as a weapon and has greater potential."

The divine power swept inch by inch across the inside of the lancet, analyzing its underlying principles.

In the home universe, special items called "wonder objects" occasionally emerge from the three forbidden zones.

Those are weapons originating from the native inhabitants of the continent.

These weapons seem to exist naturally, whether they are trees or vines... In short, each one seems to have grown naturally, and each one is extremely powerful, making them the closest thing to the strongest treasure.

The swarm has also acquired several items and analyzed them.

This is one of the key research projects for insect colonies, and it is also a direction for colony enhancement.

However, the strange objects did not have any secret patterns carved on them.

This has the advantage that any powerful individual can unleash the full power of the artifact once it is activated.

However, the drawbacks of the strange creature are also significant.

This drawback is not that strange objects will be rejected by the universe.

Although strange objects exist in the universe, they can affect the stability of the universe's origin and are natural enemies of the universe's origin.

But Qin Mu wouldn't care about that.

At worst, we can just stop using it in the original universe.

The real drawback of artifacts is that their power is too weak and their potential is very low.

It is only infinitely close to the ultimate treasure, but cannot truly reach that level.

This is somewhat of a double-edged sword for the insect swarm.

However, the spirit weapons in the Wutong World are different.

With careful cultivation by spiritual plant masters and the inscription of patterns, it can reach the level of a true god's treasure, or even a void god.

This was confirmed by Qin Mu after consulting some ancient texts within the Lingliu tribe.

The Lingliu tribe has quite a few spirit weapons at the level of true gods.

Even more remarkably, there is a Void God-level spiritual weapon within the Lingliu tribe!

"This spirit plant master system should have been created by the Wutong God King, and it was improved by drawing on the wonders of the natives of the Origin Continent and the treasure refining system."

Qin Mu secretly wondered what was going on.

With his expertise in the treasure-refining system, he naturally discovered the traces of the treasure-refining system within it.

The true form of the Wutong God King is a plant life form. With his strength at the second level of the God King realm, it is only natural that he created this special system suitable for plant life.

"Based on the information we have so far, there may be spirit weapons at the level of Eternal True Gods, or even large-scale legion spirit weapons in the Four Royal Courts."

The Wutong World also has a normal treasure refining system.

The treasure refining system and the spirit plant master system complement each other. In addition to cultivating various spirit weapons, spirit plant masters can also cultivate various spirit fruits.

This is something the treasure refining system cannot do.

"Whether it's the treasure refining system or the spirit plant master system, the core of the weapon crafting system, besides the materials, is the secret runes that contain the mysteries of the laws."

A powerful and precious spear appeared in Qin Mu's hand.

The reason why this spear is so powerful is that it is engraved with seven secret runes!

Once the seventh secret rune is activated, one can unleash top-tier combat power at the tenth rank.

"After possessing the universe for 100,000 years and comprehending its operating rules, my understanding of the laws has reached the tenth level."

In this way, I have met the requirements for comprehending the rules in refining the most powerful treasures.

The rest is the art of refining treasures.

The same applies to the Spirit Plant Master system.

In the past, the strongest treasures that the insect swarm could create could only reach the level of peak treasures.

The biggest problem is still insufficient understanding of the laws.

But now, that problem has been solved.

Qin Mu held the willow-leaf blade in his hand, comparing it with the long spear, a priceless treasure.

"Although the Lingliu Tribe is willing to exchange their inheritance of spirit plant masters with me, they only offer me the core inheritance below the peak level of supreme treasures, and they are unwilling to give me the core inheritance at the level of supreme treasures."

This is normal.

After all, although his own aura was also that of a plant life form, he was still an outsider.

How could they possibly hand over the core heritage of the tribe to me as soon as they arrive?

"However, the method of nurturing spiritual weapons at the peak level is enough for me for the time being. I will first integrate this special nurturing method into the armor system."

"Given the vast systems and resources possessed by the insect swarm, deduce the method for cultivating the most powerful treasures; it will only take a little more time."

A fruit fell from the World Tree.

A long, willow-leaf-shaped sword, gleaming with cold light, flew out. Its aura and patterns were almost identical to those of the Spirit Willow Tribe.

Whoosh!

The long sword pierced the air, fell to the ground, and disappeared.

Underground, the roots of the World Tree continued to spread outwards, and in just half a month, they appeared in land billions of kilometers away.

From the holes at the ends of these roots, countless insect units crawl out and spread out in more distant directions.

If anyone were present, they would find that these insectoid units are no different from the strange beasts commonly found in the Wutong World.

After leaving, you can blend in anywhere.

The swarm of insects has already begun to multiply in secret.

In some more remote areas, there are even swarms of insect queens lurking deep underground, breeding swarms to hunt down native life forms in the Wutong world and obtain their genes.

Qin Mu has three main objectives for entering the Wutong World.

One is to collect creatures in the Wutong World, especially the corpses of True God powerhouses, in order to study the composition of life and break through to a higher level, reaching a life gene level of 90,000 times.

Secondly, one can obtain plant armor and weapons, which are part of the Spirit Plant Master system, to complete the plant armor system.

Thirdly, the possible succession of the God-King.

Qin Mu no longer cares much about the mechanical inheritance, which is comparable to the spirit plant master system, or even the mechanical treasures.

On the one hand, there is the legacy of Duan Donghe and the treasure-refining master Zuoshanke, so the insect swarm is not lacking in this kind of heritage.

Furthermore, having already traveled to other source worlds, Qin Mu's interest in this mechanical treasure had greatly diminished.

Even their interest in spaceships has waned.

Instead of wasting time on this, why not renovate the World Mother Nest?

After all, you never know when 'Gold' might issue you a mission to travel to other source worlds.

Under different supreme rules, unless it is a treasure of the God-King level, even a mechanical treasure of the peak Chaos Realm cannot function and can only become a pile of scrap metal.

Even more so, because the spaceship is too powerful.

Even with the ability to nurture and modify divine weapon systems, it is ineffective.

So, after that.

Qin Mu preferred to focus his energy on upgrading and modifying his bio-suit.

As living weapons, thanks to the adaptability of the swarm, even if they go to other source worlds, they can unleash their strongest combat power in the shortest amount of time.

As for the secret treasure mentioned by the mountain hermit that caused the fall of the Wutong God King, that is not important.

After all, the person is dead, so even if there are treasures, they will most likely be taken away.

"It's about time we left; we can only obtain more inheritances by heading to the Four Great Royal Courts!"

A hint of longing flickered in Qin Mu's eyes.

Instead of staying in the Lingliu tribe to plan for their deeper inheritance, it would be better to go to the Four Royal Courts, where there are more opportunities.

In just half a month, the insect swarm has begun to take root in the world of sycamore trees.

Even if he were to perish, it would simply be a matter of creating a clone.

……

"Ninth Elder, I'm leaving."

On the 18th day in the Lingliu tribe, Qin Mu addressed the white-robed elder.

"Are you leaving? Do you intend to continue your travels?"

The Ninth Elder's voice was gentle.

In recent days, he has also received some unique inheritances from Qin Mu.

If Qin Mu is willing to stay, he might gain even more.

"Yes! I plan to go to the royal court, join the army, and join the ordnance department."

Qin Mu looked into the distance and said.

"Ordnance department?"

The Ninth Elder nodded slightly, not too surprised by Qin Mu's decision.

When ordinary people join the army, they become soldiers and fight against countless strange beasts in the mountains and rivers.

But plant practitioners are different; they have another option.

That's the ordnance department.

Simply put, it's logistics.

For soldiers in the army, cultivating spiritual fruits and forging various weapons and armor can also earn them contributions and inheritance.

"Well, I've been traveling for a long time, it's time to go to the royal court."

I want to go further on the path of becoming a spiritual plant practitioner.

Joining the royal court is the best way.

Countless powerful individuals from our entire Wutong World gather there, and the most powerful spirit plant masters are all in the royal court.

Qin Mu's voice was full of anticipation.

After learning a great deal of information from the tribes, Qin Mu learned that there were countless tribes within the Wutong World, which also referred to this world as the "Wutong World".

Second.

The entire world of Wutong shares a common master—the great Wutong God King!

Qin Mu even learned about it from the transmission of some ancient texts and conversations with others.

The Wutong World is merely one of the forces under His Majesty the Great God King, primarily dedicated to cultivating spirit plant masters and honing powerful individuals.

All tribes are required to pay a certain amount of spiritual fruits and spiritual weapons to the royal court, which then presents them to His Majesty the Great God-King.

Similarly, each tribe also needs to provide a certain number of warriors for the royal court.

The strongest among them will receive the God King's summons, leave the Wutong World, and fight and shed blood for His Majesty the God King.

Combined with the information obtained from the Mountain Guest.

It's not hard to tell that this Wutong World is a resource acquisition and cultivation base for powerful individuals under the Wutong God King.

Even a god-king only needs to accumulate wealth!

As a god-king of plant life, cultivating spiritual fruits and spiritual soldiers as resources is a very common practice.

Of course, cultivating strong individuals is also a key focus.

Although Wutong God King is different from Zuoshanke and Duandonghe, he is a guest minister of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom and has not established his own kingdom.

But he also had his own fiefdom.

They also need manpower to manage their fiefdoms.

However—His Majesty the God King has not taken away any spirit fruits or spirit weapons from the 'Wutong World' for a very, very long time, let alone taken away any powerful individuals.

After all, the God King of Wutong had already perished.

"If we're going to the royal court, could you wait a bit?"

The Ninth Elder pondered for a moment.

"The spirit soldiers that my tribe supplies to the royal court in this era also need to set off, along with a group of warriors who have joined the army."

You can go together then.

Perhaps you'll need to look after them then.

"Oh?"

Qin Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded, "Alright, let's set off together then." (End of this chapter)
