Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Whoosh!

The Kunpeng flicked its tail, flew out of the cycle of reincarnation, and arrived at a vast and desolate land.

hum-

An invisible detection wave emanated from the Kunpeng's body, confirming that there was no danger, and Qin Mu's figure appeared on this vast land.

The Kunpeng was put away by Qin Mu.

As for the cycle of reincarnation, it naturally disappeared the moment Kunpeng flew out.

At this moment, Qin Mu's body shape changed slightly, a pair of dragon horns grew on his head, and his face was covered with scales.

The swarm of insects roamed across the three thousand cosmic seas, destroying a large number of sacred cosmic sites, including the Eastern Emperor's Sacred Land and the Purple Moon Sacred Land.

A certain level of disguise is still necessary.

Fortunately, both the Eastern Emperor and the Purple Moon Ancestor are Void True Gods, minor figures in the Origin Continent, so they shouldn't attract the attention of too many powerful beings.

As long as they aren't exposed too early and the swarm disperses, it doesn't matter.

When the swarm grows to a certain size, exposure becomes inevitable.

"This is the Origin Continent."

Qin Mu looked up at the night sky.

The night sky over the continent of Origin is vast and deep, with countless stars shining brightly.

The countless stars in the night sky are very far from the earth, some large and some small.

Some of these enormous stars, even separated by countless barriers of time and space, still exuded an aura that sent chills down Qin Mu's spine.

This is a place far more powerful than the Three Thousand Universe Seas. Life forms in the Jin World can become immortal upon reaching adulthood, and with a little refinement, they can become Universe Venerables.

Those born on the continent of origin are generally able to become true gods.

Their miniature universes appear in the deepest part of the night sky, with each star being a miniature universe!

Qin Mu immediately noticed many stars in the starry sky that exuded a terrifying aura; those were miniature universes of God-King level experts!

As Qin Mu gazed at the starry sky, figures separated from his body and flew off in all directions.

In an instant, the number of these figures exceeded one million.

When these figures appear, they either disappear into the earth or fly into the sky, vanishing in an instant.

These units, carrying the Zerg swarm's mother hive, will disperse and take root in hidden places in the wilderness.

By mimicking the life characteristics of insect swarms as native life forms, and given the inability to extrapolate and the ambiguity of cause and effect, they become extremely difficult to detect once they are hidden.

After doing all this, Qin Mu began to calmly sense the fluctuations of space, time, and various laws of the Origin Continent.

"The space is very stable. Even with my strength as an Eternal True God, I can only cause a few ripples."

Qin Mu raised his hand and ripped through the void.

In the cosmic ocean, this stroke would be enough to tear apart billions of kilometers of space, but on the Origin Continent, it only caused ripples in the surrounding space.

While sensing the spatial fluctuations, Qin Mu also compared the flow of time between the two locations using the Beast Warriors left in the Cosmic Sea.

"The time flow ratio is 1:10081. One second passes here, while 10081 seconds have already passed in the original universe."

Qin Mu looked around. The earth was vast and desolate, but he could sense the fluctuations of the laws of heaven and earth.

"The laws of chaos are incredibly clear to sense!" Qin Mu's eyes lit up with surprise. "They're so clear!"

Although Qin Mu already knew these things from consulting various traditions on his way here, he was still excited when he actually experienced them.

In the Three Thousand Universe Seas, and even in the Jin World and the Wutong World, the laws of perception are like being separated by layers of mist, but they are extremely clear on the Origin Continent.

Especially the laws of space!

With the blessing of the Gate of Origin, Qin Mu seemed to see the origin of space, and his comprehension surged wildly.

As the Swarm's most powerful treasure, it not only allows the Swarm to connect different origin worlds and observe the entire Origin Continent from a higher dimension.

It can also make Qin Mu's understanding of the laws of space thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger!

"No wonder that in the Origin Continent, adults become true gods. In such an environment, even a pig could break through."

Qin Mu sighed.

"Let's first determine my location, and then formulate a development strategy."

Without wasting any time, Qin Mu immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew away into the distance.

The moment the Kunpeng landed, it scanned the surrounding environment.

As a super-large war fortress, Kunpeng's detection capabilities are extremely powerful, more than billions of times stronger than those of ordinary eternal true gods.

In terms of mere detection, even the Chaos Ruler is far inferior.

Under this probe, Qin Mu easily discovered the strange beasts lurking on this vast land, as well as the tribes scattered throughout the wilderness.

Even the Void Gods discovered over a hundred of them.

"First, find a tribe and ask for their location."

Although the power of the Gate of Origin removed the restrictions of the supreme rules, Qin Mu could 'see' the entire Origin Continent through the black particle holes.

From the perspective of that higher-dimensional being, the source world is like a blank sheet of paper, with nothing remaining a secret before their eyes.

However, the Origin Continent is not like the Three Thousand Universe Seas. It contains countless powerful beings. If one is accidentally discovered by a super being on the Origin Continent, it will be a fatal crisis.

Qin Mu didn't know about the others, but the two progenitors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the Leiting Ancient Kingdom were too powerful, most likely surpassing the ultimate realm of the God King.

Qin Mu was unwilling to take that risk.

……

Under the starlight, the entire tribe was quiet, with the occasional roar of strange beasts echoing in the distance.

Until hundreds of tall, strong men with dark golden horns on their heads appeared on the horizon, guided by the starlight, carrying huge beasts and returning with their spoils.

"I'm back!"

The women and children who had been waiting at the village gate for a long time cheered, their unease and fear vanishing instantly, and they shouted loudly.

Nights in the wilderness are extremely dangerous, with a high chance of being attacked by strange beasts.

The tribal hunting party finally returned, and it was immediately clear that the hunt had been a great success, with hundreds of tribesmen having caught something.

"I'm back!"

"The hunting party is back!"

One by one, the tribal warriors, carrying enormous tigers, savage bulls with single horns, or even wild bears, returned to their tribes with loud laughter, allowing their long-waiting tribesmen to dissect them.

Among the crowd, Shen Tu Hong breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his clansmen return safely.

"It's good that you're back. This time you've gained a lot. With the tribe's previous accumulation, we should be able to send a group of children to Ningyuan City to study under a master."

Shen Tu Yanfeng has good talent; if he's lucky, he might be able to stay in Ningyuan City.

As the chieftain of the Shentu tribe, Shentu Hong was in a very good mood.

The Origin Continent is fraught with danger, especially in the wilderness, where a powerful beast or cultivator passing by could bring about the extermination of one's race.

Only in big cities can safety be guaranteed.

If you're lucky, it would be even better to become an apprentice of an Eternal True God.

Living in a big city requires paying exorbitant fees, which a small tribe like theirs, with only one Void God, simply cannot afford.

Of course, as a true god of the void, he could live a relatively comfortable life on his own if he could abandon his people.

Cultivators from all races gathered on the Origin Continent, and many powerful figures did not care about the deaths of their clansmen.

But Shen Tu Hong refused.

Without his protection, the Shentu tribe would probably have been completely wiped out very soon.

suddenly--

Shen Tu Hong felt a terrifying force descending from the sky, enveloping the entire tribe.

Under that force, Shen Tu Hong couldn't help but tremble and kneel down.

The rest of the tribe knelt down.

"not good."

Shen Tu Hong felt a chill in his heart. He looked up at the sky and saw a majestic and powerful figure radiating a strong aura floating in the air.

Who is this powerful figure who has descended upon us?

This pressure was even stronger than that of the eternal gods he had ever seen!

Shen Tu Hong dared not hesitate and immediately knelt down, saying with utmost respect, "Shen Tu Hong greets Your Excellency."

Shen Tu Hong was filled with fear and unease. Encountering a powerful figure in the wilderness was far too dangerous. Whether the other party wanted to kill and rob, or kidnap members of their tribe, they could do so at will.

No one would care whether they live or die.

Every day, countless tribes disappear silently.

The entire tribe fell into a deathly silence under this oppressive atmosphere; there was no more laughter or joy.

"Tell me, which Chaos Continent is this?"

Qin Mu's voice was indifferent.

Shen Tu Hong was surprised to hear that the person was asking for directions.

He immediately and respectfully reported, "Your Excellency, this is Lin Yuan Chaos State of Yun Kingdom."

"Yun Kingdom?" Qin Mu nodded slightly.

The continent of Origin is home to many forces; a city, a tribe, or a secret sect can all be a powerful force.

But those qualified to build a divine kingdom must at least be at the level of a god-king.

Examples include the Jin state founded by Zuoshanke, and the Shi state, among others.

The Cloud Kingdom was mentioned in the information given by the Mountain Guest and the Wutong God King. It was a remote place on the Origin Continent, similar to the Jin Kingdom.

There is only one God-King, and that is the ruler of the Cloud Kingdom.

Of course, this information is from a long time ago.

"Yun Kingdom, even if it's a bit remote, is still good. Although its resources aren't as abundant, it's suitable for the early development of the Zerg swarm."

Qin Mu thought to himself, "If we reach the two ancient kingdoms, things will get a bit complicated."

In such a remote country, even if the insect swarm makes a lot of noise, it won't attract much attention from the powerful.

However, if he were to develop his insect swarm in one of the two ancient kingdoms, he would likely attract the suppression of a god-king level expert. He would have to find a way to leave and go to a weaker neighboring kingdom.

"I remember there should be four large cities in Lin Yuan Chaos State, right?" Qin Mu asked.

"Yes," Shen Tu Hong replied immediately. "Lin Yuan Chaos State is vast and boundless, with four large cities and one hundred and sixty-eight ordinary cities."

The four large cities are Lin Yuan City, Lan Shui City, Ning Yuan City, and Chi Jin City.

Qin Mu nodded: "Linyuan Chaos Prefecture, is that the fiefdom of the Chaos Great Sage 'Marquis Linyuan'?"

In the Origin Continent, the Chaos Ruler is to be granted a title of Marquis!

Generally speaking, a Chaos Province is granted as a fief. The fief is then named after the province, such as the Chaos Province of Lin Yuan, which is the fief of the Marquis of Lin Yuan.

As for the Eternal God, his status is far lower. He is usually just a general who leads a region, or a core member who governs a city, etc.

They belong to the middle management level.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Shen Tu Hong immediately replied. "The Marquis of Lin Yuan resides in Lin Yuan City, which is why it has the strictest rules among the four major cities!"

Bluewater City is adjacent to the Misty Sea, where many strange sea creatures roam freely.

Crimson Gold City is rich in minerals, but it is also a chaotic place where many forces fight over them, and wars frequently break out.

Ningyuan City is located in the heart of the region and is relatively peaceful. We usually go to Ningyuan City to trade animal hides, bones, and the like.

Qin Mu nodded slightly.

These were largely consistent with the information he remembered.

However, Qin Mu was not in a hurry to go to the city. While he was questioning people in the Shentu tribe, dozens of his clones were doing the same thing in different tribes.

One of its clones even descended upon a tribe that had been raided.

Qin Mu immediately suppressed them, transformed their leader into a Zerg, and obtained all his memories to verify the intelligence.

"Swarm! Spread out and head towards all cities within the Chaos Continent of Lin Yuan, focusing on the area around Crimson Gold City!"

With a thought, Qin Mu immediately changed direction among the million scattered figures and flew towards the target.

Especially in Crimson Gold City, the number is the largest!

Abundant in minerals, with diverse factions and constant warfare, it is the perfect habitat for the Zerg swarm.

"The Marquis of Linyuan is not very strong, so the insect swarm will first develop in the Linyuan Chaos State."

Qin Mu quickly made a decision.

"I'll stay in your tribe for a while, and you'll certainly benefit from it."

Qin Mu nodded slightly at Shen Tu Hong.

Immediately, they entered the largest hall in the Shentu tribe and, incidentally, drove away the overjoyed Shentu Hong.

Sitting cross-legged in the main hall, Qin Mu began to ponder.

"Before going to war with other forces and vying for territory, we need to make some preparations and formulate a plan."

"Plan One: Place insect hives, collect the bloodlines of alien beasts in the wilderness, integrate them into the wilderness, and establish an insect domain. Surround the city with the wilderness."

"Plan Two: Obtain enough materials to begin practicing the body-forging method in the 'Mysterious Origin Technique.' The required quantity is too large to be achieved by simply buying them."

"Plan Three: Obtain a way for large cities to enter the Chaos Ruins, enter the Chaos Layer to hunt Chaos Layer life forms and obtain their life structures, in preparation for breaking through to the Chaos Realm."

"Plan Four: Seize at least one Chaos Continent as a breeding ground for the Zerg swarm."

"Plan Five: Prepare to promote the second world of the Zerg swarm and reap the fruits of native life's wisdom!"

Plan Six: ……

One by one, long-planned schemes were put on the agenda and arranged.

Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of miles away from the Shentu tribe, a mother nest with a diameter of one million kilometers crashed down from the sky above a valley.

The mother nest is deploying!

A purple wave rapidly spread across the vast land around the mother nest.

Flowers, trees, strange beasts, and even soil and rocks were all swallowed up by this purple wave.

The earth was covered.

Strangely, after being swallowed up, the area covered by the purple wave returned to its former appearance in just a short while.

It seems as if nothing has happened.

"There's some trouble. The time, space, and even matter of the Origin Continent are incredibly stable."

Even with enhanced fungal carpet, it's very difficult for it to burrow underground.

The swarm has not yet grasped the source of the laws of the earth, and the conversion process is somewhat slow.

We need to analyze and enslave some of the eternal true gods and beasts of related bloodlines as soon as possible.

"Yes, the intelligence indicates there's a stone dragon in this area. Let's capture it first."

Qin Mu looked into the void, as if he could see mother nests taking root in the wilderness.

"The continent of origin is vast, and major cities occupy only small portions of it. The expansive wilderness is the ideal breeding ground for the insect swarm." (End of Chapter)
