Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

As that point of golden light appeared, the entire primordial sea, nearly two light-years in size, shrank instantly, while its radiance shone brightly.

A hundred thousand times the lifespan is a qualitative change!

This extremely perfect and more advanced life structure diagram has a fatal attraction to other divine powers, just as a magnet attracts other iron and stone, naturally causing other divine powers to undergo crazy transformation.

Wow!

In less than a few seconds, the entire area emitted bursts of golden light.

As if by fission, guided by the swarm network, the light spread wildly from the Peak Realm as its core towards the entire swarm.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In just a moment, the golden light traveled trillions of light-years.

Within the area covered, all the insect swarms turned golden!

The entire Qingfeng Realm was transformed into a golden ocean.

However, this is just the beginning...

The endless light pierced through space and time, and the entire cosmic sea, and even all the insect swarm units in the primordial universe, began to transform.

In the extremely distant Universe 0001, and in the hundreds of different spacetime universes that the swarm has been exploring over the past tens of millions of years, countless swarms of insects have naturally undergone metamorphosis.

For the first time, Qin Mu clearly sensed that part of the insect swarm located in another source world was also beginning to transform.

The moment when all the swarms within the swarm network have completely metamorphosed.

An extremely powerful psychic force erupted throughout the entire Zerg swarm network, and the vast and endless Zerg swarm network architecture began to transform.

The original architecture, after millions of years of evolution, has fully integrated the advantages of the Beast Network's mind, making the connections between the entire swarm incredibly tight.

Even without the aid of the Boundary Gate and the Divine Suppression Pearl, two supreme treasures, Qin Mu was able to sense every insectoid unit separated by endless space and time.

"Begin the transformation! Merge the strengths of endless life, the strengths of world beasts, combine with the Great Dao of Life's origin, and create a perfect swarm of insects that will destroy the Great Dao of Destruction!"

Qin Mu's voice echoed throughout the entire swarm.

In an instant, the entire swarm erupted.

It's like nuclear fusion, like a supernova explosion of the sun.

The moment the swarm's divine body finally completed its evolution, its entire body naturally burst forth with billions of golden lights!

Each swarm unit radiates billions of rays of light, illuminating billions of light-years...

Swish swish swish—

Almost instantly, the entire primordial universe was illuminated by this golden light, and even the most mysterious place of origin shone with light.

The entire cosmic ocean, and even the hundreds of cosmic oceans explored by the insect swarm, were all illuminated by this light.

……

The Chinese universe nation, with tens of millions of descendants of the Chinese lineage, has long been incredibly powerful.

When the golden light appeared, countless descendants of the Chinese people all looked in the direction of the light.

The golden light, which no matter could obstruct, transcended time and space, shone into the eyes of every living being and entered the soul of every living being.

Within their souls, a figure radiating golden light appeared clearly, and they could clearly see the figure's appearance.

It's Qin Mu!

Seeing the golden light, they were deeply moved. As the golden light shone upon them and penetrated their souls, they naturally prostrated themselves in worship.

It was uncontrollable.

Whether they were the high and mighty rulers of the universe or the weak youths, they all knelt down.

……

The entire territory of humankind.

Whether they are extraterrestrial humans, beings from secret realms, or beings from divine kingdoms.

All life was enveloped in golden light emanating from the swarm units scattered throughout the universe.

It permeated their life imprints, and that radiant golden figure emerged in their souls.

That was a respect that came from the depths of the soul; it was a fundamental difference in the level of life that made beings at a lower level of life involuntarily kneel down.

This is an instinct from their very being to pay homage to the birth of the greatest life.

"It is the great Overlord of the Swarm!"

Within the divine realm, deep within the spatial storm, an immortal knelt on the ground. When he saw the figure in the golden light, his expression was filled with longing.

He was once a human from the realm of gods.

In the past, humans in the divine realm had no right to connect to the virtual universe.

They were born slaves.

Only by reaching the cosmic level is there even the slightest possibility of making contact with the virtual universe.

Even their growth potential is capped at the Realm Lord level.

Without extraordinary opportunities, it is impossible to achieve immortality.

But all of this changed because of Qin Mu's appearance.

Qin Mu abolished slavery, established the second world of the Zerg Network, and created the Gene Seed, a treasure that enabled the entire human race to achieve genetic ascension.

Nowadays, the people who have produced the most geniuses among all human races are actually the humans of the God Kingdom, who were once the lowest of the low!

Because their numbers are the largest.

This has changed the entire landscape of humankind, and countless groups have seen a glimmer of hope, a possibility of growth and breakthrough.

Perhaps it will still be difficult, requiring hard work and struggle.

But at least, they had hope.

Hope is the most precious thing for many ethnic groups.

This earned Qin Mu the utmost respect from almost every race in the universe.

Located at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, the Primordial Microcosm and all the human universes were shocked and knelt down.

This scene was even more awe-inspiring than when Qin Mu broke through to immortality, when laws descended everywhere in the primordial universe!

The primordial will of the universe, which had already submitted, fell completely silent at this moment.

This golden light contains the supreme rules governing the operation of the cosmic sea!

That is why it transcends the barriers of time and space, and the limitations of matter.

Only then will all life kneel down.

Whether kind or vicious, weak or strong.

Chaos, darkness, Luo Feng, and even the giant axe and the Empress—the divine power incarnations left behind by the Primordial Ancestors.

Furthermore, several true gods from the Mechanical Race, the Prison Race, the Crystal Race, and others, who had long since lost any will to fight and had retreated into the primordial universe, all knelt down.

Billions of races, countless planets, countless divine kingdoms, countless cosmic secret realms...

Flesh and blood life, mechanical life, plant life, energy life... all kinds of life...

From the weakest to the strongest...

They all knelt down, showing respect from the very source of life.

……

Within Universe No. 0001, within the Wutong World.

As the remaining portion of the insect swarm emitted endless golden light, the True Gods, Void True Gods, and even the four Eternal True God-level royal court commanders knelt down as well.

"What did Qin Mu do? This is a breakthrough of 99999 times the limit of life level, reaching the legendary 100,000 times? Is it a Profound Origin Technique?"

Upon recognizing the familiar figure within the golden light, the remaining consciousness of the Wutong God King was filled with horror.

As a powerful being at the second level of the God King realm, he naturally possessed an infinite divine body and had even pursued the limits of life.

But without exception.

No one on the entire Origin Continent has ever broken this limit!

"Perhaps, they really might avenge me!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the Wutong God King.

……

In Universe No. 0039, an avatar of the Chaos City Lord, who was stationed there, stared in horror at the billions of rays of light.

Before them, billions of insects radiated golden light.

Throughout the entire universe, all life knelt in submission.

"My three avatars—one in the Wutong God King's microcosm, one in the Jin God King's universe, and this one—are all affected by this light!"

"What's wrong with Qin Mu? Why is there such a commotion!"

With the help of the swarm network, his clones are always in contact.

Under the power of this light, the consciousness of the human race's cosmic rulers who were exploring the outside world instantly entered and communicated with it.

All the cosmic seas where insect swarms existed were enveloped in golden light, and countless life forms knelt in submission.

……

"Hahaha, I've indeed broken through! The supreme rule has descended, and even I almost knelt down."

Outside the spaceship, inside a humanoid corpse hundreds of millions of light-years away, the Mountain-Sitting Guest laughed heartily.

The appearance of the golden light contained supreme rules.

But it's just a inducement.

With the blessing of the will of the god-king from his previous life, he barely managed to hold on.

When his body drifted from the Cosmic Sea, the Mountain Dweller returned to the Cosmic Sea, naturally to help the swarm acquire resources more effectively.

After all, the original cosmic will had submitted to Qin Mu, so it naturally wouldn't keep an eye on him all the time.

The inner universe of a God-King is too precious for the Zerg Swarm to bear, as it can be used to hatch countless powerful Zerg units.

Having revealed his identity and returned to his past life's universe, free from all constraints, his life was quite pleasant.

……

Beyond the peak, all golden light dissipated.

The entire swarm returned to normal.

As he sensed the transformation of the entire swarm, Qin Mu's voice echoed through the swarm's network.

"After millions of years, we have finally broken through the bottleneck of 100,000 times, and the swarm network has completed its transformation."

He naturally witnessed countless beings in hundreds of cosmic seas kneeling before him.

But Qin Mu didn't care much about these things.

This was nothing out of the ordinary; it was the culmination of the entire swarm's accumulated strength.

A breakthrough is inevitable.

This is different from the sudden enlightenment and breakthrough that Luo Feng experienced in the original timeline, which was incomprehensible.

He had a complete grasp of every single change.

"Now comes the main event! The Profound Origin Technique!"

Qin Mu's voice was low and deep.

The key to breaking through 100,000 times and stepping into another level!

A life level ten thousand times higher is the limit set by the highest rules!

However, the Xuan Yuan Technique is a secret technique created by the Primordial Creator!

It is enough to break the restrictions of the supreme rules.

After tens of millions of years of research, Qin Mu has become very familiar with the Xuan Yuan Technique.

In some ways, the "Mysterious Origin Technique" is somewhat similar to the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" created by the Mountain-Sitting Guest!

Of course, the "Mysterious Origin Technique" is far more powerful than the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

Only when the speed reaches 100,000 times can one begin cultivation.

In the primordial universe, the highest level of life for non-special life forms can only reach 100 times.

This is the rule within the primordial universe.

However, the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" created by Zuoshanke can break this rule. Simply by operating the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual", one can raise their life level to level 10081.

The same applies to the "Mysterious Origin Technique"!

The difference is that the "Mysterious Origin Technique" is able to break through the restrictions of the highest rules!

So-called rules are all used to bind the weak.

A god-king level mountain dweller can break through the original rules of the universe.

Yuan can also break through the highest rules.

Let alone a breakthrough, for Yuan, even creating a source world is just a piece of cake.

Even a hundred thousand times is ultimately just a limitation within the source world.

The Beast King born from the destruction of the Origin Great Dao is 100,000 times stronger.

The primordial universe, which nurtures countless lives and contains the fundamental principles of life, is also ten thousand times larger.

Even if a Beast King grows to its limit, it can only reach the ultimate realm of God King.

Outside the source world, it's nothing at all.

In the infinite primordial space, even the innate primordial life forms are countless.

"Mystic Origin Technique! Activate!"

Wow!

Instantly, countless divine powers within this primordial sea rapidly connected into billions of threads, transforming into extremely complex runes under the guidance of the Xuan Yuan Technique.

These countless secret techniques were continuously outlined and, under some extremely magical power, rapidly formed a sphere.

Then they are continuously connected on that sphere.

This connection process was completely beyond Qin Mu's control, as if some unseen force was guiding it.

The spherical structure was too complex for Qin Mu to comprehend, so he simply forced it into use as a Xuan Yuan Technique. However, when he sensed all of this…

I'm so captivated!

I was utterly captivated! It was as if I were witnessing the most beautiful thing in the world.

"Is this a simulation of how the Source World operates?"

Qin Mu watched as the spherical structure, which had been extremely perfect and stable after its formation, began to transform once again!

"Click!"

Qin Mu seemed to hear a crisp sound.

A certain restriction that had bound the genes of the swarm's life forms has been lifted.

Within the operating model of the source world, among the 100,000 light spots modeled after Qin Mu, another light spot actually appeared!

wow——

It was as if it were undergoing a fission.

Two, three...

In an instant.

That would create tens of thousands more light spots!

11 times!

12 times!

"Too, this, this is too..."

Qin Mu watched this scene in shock. Even among these 12 humanoid light spots, Qin Mu saw that the complex secret patterns that made up the light spots themselves were transforming at an extremely fast speed!

The gene map, which combined the genes of ordinary life and the life of world beasts, was 100,000 times more powerful. It actually adjusted itself and became even more perfect!

"Hahaha! Mystic Origin Technique! As expected of the Mystic Origin Technique!"

Qin Mu laughed heartily.

It's not just because the level of life has broken through 12 times.

Furthermore, because the shackles on the swarm have been removed.

For insect swarms, there is no longer any limit of 100,000 times.

As long as he is strong enough, he can continue his research.

Theoretically speaking, there is no upper limit to the life levels of a swarm!

It's even possible to reach the Hunyuan life level by relying on the power of bloodline!

"The swarm can also break through! For others, the limitation of fixed genetic levels after becoming a True God has also disappeared."

"However, before breaking through, let's first replenish the Zerg Swarm God Body!"

Qin Mu looked at the Primordial Sea, which had shrunk considerably due to the successive breakthroughs in the level of life.

"Splash splash splash~~~"

All that could be seen was the primordial sea frantically sucking in the air, forming enormous whirlpools in the chaotic currents, and massive amounts of seawater were created out of thin air and continuously descended onto the primordial sea.

In the past, the primordial sea had to rely on "creative talent" to allow it to automatically regenerate and gradually expand in size.

Its speed is very slow.

It can only be done with time; it requires persistent effort.

But at this moment it has reached 120,000 times.

It could absorb it all at will… Endless divine power and seawater continuously fell from the sky, merging into the primordial sea, causing the primordial sea to expand wildly. (End of Chapter)
