Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"The Marquis of Linyuan follows the path of bloodline and also has a hidden source of deadly poison, but unfortunately this is completely useless against the impact on willpower."

If you can't hold on, you'll die.

Now I've gotten a good deal.

Looking at the corpse of Marquis Linyuan on the other side, Qin Mu sighed.

With a thought, he threw the six corpses of Chaos Realm beasts and the corpse of Marquis Linyuan into the Primordial Sea to begin analysis.

The life structure of the Chaos Realm is extremely complex, and even with the computing power of the insect swarm, it would take a long time to fully analyze it.

Especially for special structures like the Voidweaver and the Time Wheel Serpent, which are made of void fragments and time vortexes, the difficulty is even greater.

Even with a relatively simple flesh-and-blood life structure like the Calamity Elephant, over three thousand days is only a preliminary analysis.

"Life, destruction, matter, causality, time, space, world, immeasurable, extreme point—the bloodlines of all nine supreme laws of the alien beasts have been gathered."

With a hint of satisfaction, Qin Mu nodded slightly.

Then he looked to the other side, where a vast primordial sea was filled with the corpses of a large number of beasts at the Eternal True God realm.

"Besides the nine supreme laws of the Origin Continent, the insect swarm is also comprehending and analyzing the laws of soul, earth, fire, thunder, poison, shadow, and so on."

"At this stage, the ordinary eternal true god is mainly comprehending the laws of chaos."

Those with exceptional talent will comprehend one or two supreme laws, glimpse the realm of God-King, and determine their future path.

"And what about the insect swarm?"

As the swarm began to painstakingly analyze the Chaos Realm bloodline, and numerous insights resonated within the swarm's network, Qin Mu also began to ponder.

This confirms the path of spiritual practice.

For example, Luo Feng analyzed all things in the primordial universe, broke through the life level of 100,000 times, and basically determined the path of the Great Dao of the origin of life.

At the same time, Luo Feng was also destroying the origin within the Beast of the Realm of Enlightenment.

In the future, eight or nine out of ten times, we will follow the path of destruction and the fusion of the fundamental principles of life, which is the path of birth and death.

What about yourself?

Relying on the special nature of the insect swarm, it is now possible to simultaneously comprehend the nine fundamental Daos that constitute the supreme laws of the Origin Continent, and to comprehend the other Daos at the same time.

Even with the sheer number of insect swarms and their immense computing power, Qin Mu still had to make some trade-offs.

For example, which ones should be prioritized for comprehension, and how should the fusion of the fundamental laws be carried out?

This is very important.

The Great Dao of Origin is extremely complex, and each one can lead to the ultimate realm of God King, or even surpass the realm of God King.

The fundamental principle of life has six major branches.

Furthermore, they can be divided into different "phases" based on different levels of life!

Each phase has an extremely complex structure.

Furthermore, the fusion of fundamental laws to create a new origin is even more difficult!

The fundamental principles of life and destruction can be merged into the Great Principle of Birth and Death, and time and space can be merged into the Great Principle of Spacetime.

The nine supreme laws, and even all other laws, can be freely combined to create even more powerful law origins.

It can even merge the three fundamental laws, such as life, matter, and the world, to create the Great Dao of Creation.

From this, countless great paths can be derived.

These are briefly recorded in the inheritance given to him by the God King Wutong, as well as in the inheritances of several other God Kings such as Duan Donghe.

Each direction is completely different, and the methods are also entirely different.

A powerful being who walks the path of birth and death usually possesses numerous clones, has boundless vitality, and possesses extremely powerful attack capabilities.

Those who are masters of the fundamental principles of spacetime control the spacetime structure of the universe and can manipulate the past, present, and future.

It exists at different times and changes the dimensions of space.

The combination of cause and effect with time is known as the Great Dao of Destiny, which can manipulate the flow of cause and effect and the trajectory of time, thus determining the fate of all things.

Even when practicing the same fundamental principles, different people will embark on completely different paths of cultivation due to their own comprehension, experience, temperament, talent, and other factors.

If the Dao of Life and Death is based on life, it might place more emphasis on creation and protection, and use the power of destruction in battle.

With a wave of the hand, withered trees can spring back to life, but with a single thought, an enemy can be reduced to dust.

If destruction is the dominant force, one might believe that birth and death are the inevitable laws of the universe, become indifferent to all things, and even actively destroy the world.

Similarly, if the Great Dao of Creation takes life as its guiding principle, it may place greater emphasis on creating life and matter, embarking on the path of the Creator and creating countless living beings.

If one focuses on material things and pays more attention to their transformation and recombination, one might become a master craftsman.

There are just too many possibilities.

Some people focus on creation and protection, while others focus on destruction and end.

Some people pursue transcendence and the infinite, while others pursue the ultimate and cohesion.

This is the mystery of the Great Dao, and also the infinite possibilities of cultivation.

Does the swarm want to completely master all the fundamental principles?

That's almost impossible!

"The nine fundamental laws corresponding to the supreme laws of the Origin Continent are easier to comprehend and are the key to mastering the Origin Continent."

This is essential.

Based on existing resources, we can prioritize life and destroy the fundamental principles to maximize the swarm's combat power.

In addition, the swarm's will is fundamental to the swarm and is also its strongest point.

The corresponding Great Dao of the Soul's Origin is also known as the most difficult Great Dao of Origin, and very few strong individuals have walked this path.

But it is the path that the swarm must take.

This is the core of the insect swarm.

The other rules are supplementary, designed to address different combat situations.

What about the fusion of the laws?

Qin Mu's eyes were somewhat confused, his thoughts swirling within the insectoid network.

The Great Dao of Birth and Death? The Great Dao of Time and Space? The Great Dao of Creation? ...

He wants them all!

Is it possible to create a Great Dao that integrates all the fundamental Great Daos by leveraging the massive computing power and infinite quantity of insect swarms?

Perhaps I could call it the Infinite Path.

I may not be able to integrate all the fundamental principles right now.

However, it is not impossible to continuously integrate more fundamental Daos, based on the fundamental Daos of life and destruction.

Qin Mu's confused gaze gradually hardened.

No one has ever walked this path before, but it is the most suitable path for the insect swarm!

Infinite Path!

"Then let's begin! The Infinite Path of the Swarm Law!"

Qin Mu closed his eyes, completely immersed in comprehending the various laws.

……

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

While analyzing and comprehending bloodlines and laws, the swarm continued to expand, and its expansion even accelerated due to its cooperation with the ruler of the Cloud Kingdom.

As the ruler of the Cloud Kingdom who follows the path of spatial origin, he is able to instantly reach most areas of the entire Origin Continent.

To facilitate the expansion of the Yun Kingdom's caravans on the Origin Continent, he created a teleportation system, and with the help of this teleportation system, the insect swarm expanded rapidly.

Although it only had a small outpost in most areas.

However, this also greatly increased the area controlled by the swarm, which spread to most of the Origin Continent in a very short time.

Even the two ancient kingdoms have been found to have traces of insect swarms.

The strategy of surrounding the city with wilderness meant that the swarm's growth did not attract much attention.

No one cared whether a few strange beasts had appeared in the wilderness.

Meanwhile, in the Chaos Continent of Lin Yuan, the Zerg swarm's main base was developing even more vigorously.

This is true not only in the wilderness, but also in cities.

The former Crimson Gold City Lord's Mansion is now a branch of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

"How are the preparations for this batch of 100,000 True God test subjects going?"

On the throne in the hall, Qin Mu looked down at the stream below and asked softly.

"Teacher, the selection process is underway. According to your requirements, this batch of test subjects must have never taken the Spirit-Nourishing Potion and must have relatively strong bloodline potential. The selection will take time."

However, teacher, rest assured, there are hundreds of millions of True Gods and Void True Gods who have volunteered to participate in Crimson Gold City alone.

With at least tens of billions involved across the entire Chaos Continent, we're sure to be able to select suitable test subjects.

Jian Shuize said respectfully.

In just five centuries, he had completely taken control of the Lin Yuan Chaos State and truly become his teacher's disciple.

After multiple adjustments by the teacher, its strength is a hundred times greater than before.

Even so, he remained as vulnerable as a baby in front of his teacher.

"Hmm, you've done well these past years! Is there anything you don't understand about your cultivation?"

Qin Mu nodded slightly, then pointed out a few issues regarding the Stream Marsh before dismissing him.

Jian Shuize did a really good job. He not only completed all the assigned tasks, but he also single-handedly built up the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, which was just an empty shell.

The entire Ten Thousand Beasts Sect now has over ten thousand outer disciples, including eight Eternal True Gods.

Jian Shuize is undoubtedly the eldest disciple.

He is also Qin Mu's only inner disciple.

Therefore, although he was following the path of laws to become an eternal true god, Qin Mu placed high hopes on him and truly intended to cultivate him.

Looking outside the hall, there were already a large number of True Gods and Void True Gods undergoing bloodline detection.

While comprehending the laws, Qin Mu never gave up his research on bloodline schools.

The path of laws, or rather, the lineage of those who have attained enlightenment, is very strong.

However, Qin Mu always believed that the bloodline route was equally important.

The two complement each other; only by walking on both legs can the swarm go further.

Qin Mu raised his head slightly, his eyes seemingly piercing through the barriers of space.

He saw that there were a large number of True Gods, Void True Gods, and Eternal True Gods in Crimson Gold City and even throughout the entire Chaos Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts heading towards the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

These true gods, the true gods of the void, all had hope on their faces.

……

"Quick! Quick! Quick! The Myriad Beasts Sect has released a batch of experimental slots. As test subjects for the next version of the Spirit Nourishing Potion, you can enjoy the benefits of bloodline enhancement first!"

Inside Crimson Gold City, a group of True Gods rushed towards the headquarters of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

Who in the Lin Yuan Chaos State doesn't know the reputation of the Spirit-Nourishing Elixir?

Even a powerful figure like the ruler of Lianyun Kingdom collaborated with the Myriad Beasts Sect to promote and sell their products throughout the entire Origin Continent.

In the Origin Continent, the Spirit-Nourishing Potion is quite famous.

They look down on geniuses, but are very friendly to ordinary cultivators.

Many True Gods and Void True Gods have further enhanced their strength due to the improvement of their bloodline.

The price of 100 Chaos Crystals is a bit high for a True God, but not too much for a Void True God.

Even if it were a true god, by desperately hunting in the wilderness a few more times, there would still be hope of being able to afford it.

As long as you take it continuously, it can improve your blood circulation and achieve effects similar to rare and precious herbs.

This is extremely attractive to the vast majority of ordinary cultivators who follow the bloodline path.

"It is said that the powerful figures of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect want to develop an even stronger bloodline potion based on the Spirit Nourishing Potion."

Even powerful beings at the Eternal True God realm have volunteered to serve as test subjects.

If I am selected, I might be able to break through to the Void True God realm directly. It would be even better if I could join the Myriad Beasts Sect.

That way, I'll have a chance to get revenge!

As they ran, a burly man with a sharp tail had hope in his eyes.

He was of average talent, born into a wild tribe, and his ability to become a true god was all due to his bloodline. His hope of breaking through to become a true god in the void was slim.

"Difficult! In the past, many powerful figures in Crimson Gold City liked to capture people to use as experimental subjects or to test drugs."

Those who served as test subjects all met extremely tragic ends.

But the Myriad Beasts Sect is different.

The mortality rate during their drug trials was extremely low; at most, they'd suffer minor injuries. With a bit of luck, their bloodline could be significantly enhanced.

The burly man's companion also strode forward quickly.

Five eras ago, the Myriad Beasts Sect ruled the Chaos Continent of Lin Yuan and began recruiting experimental subjects.

At first, no one was willing; only a few people who wanted to take a chance went.

However, only a few of these people died, and the bloodlines of those who survived were improved to some extent.

Even more astonishing was that during one of the recruitment of experimental subjects, one of the bloodlines underwent a transformation, breaking through from a True God to a Void True God.

He was also accepted as an outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, resulting in a leap in strength and status.

It makes countless true gods envious.

The fact that several Void Gods later broke through to Eternal God status caused a sensation.

As a result, more and more people actively participated in the bloodline experiments of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

As for those who died in the experiments, nobody cared.

This is the Origin Continent!

There is no such thing as absolute safety. Even in the city, you could offend a powerful person and die inexplicably.

Nobody cares about these things as long as they can improve their strength.

If you really die, it's just bad luck.

After all these experiments, the probability of death for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's test subjects is less than one in ten thousand.

This is already very safe.

"Damn it, there are so many people! Let's go line up and hopefully we'll be chosen."

The two immediately joined the long queue.

……

"The Spirit-Nourishing Potion has now reached its fifth version, offering significant improvements to the Eternal True God bloodline and even the Chaos Realm."

It is more effective than ordinary rare and precious herbs.

Bringing his thoughts back, Qin Mu's eyes didn't show much joy; this wasn't a difficult task for him to begin with.

This was originally intended for accumulating wealth, and he is currently only selling the worst version.

He didn't bring out anything stronger.

"The fusion of the beast bloodline and the cultivator's bloodline was not very successful. Trying to break through the past limits with this method is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Qin Mu's extensive search for experimental subjects throughout the entire Chaotic Beast Continent was not primarily aimed at obtaining any Spirit-Nourishing Potions.

It's bloodline research!

For example, the test subject he is looking for this time needs to have a trace of the bloodline of a god-king!

The reason why life on the Origin Continent can follow the bloodline route is because there were powerful beings among their ancestors, and the strongest of them can break through to the Chaos Realm.

But Qin Mu was clearly dissatisfied.

"Bloodline research hasn't yielded any major breakthroughs, but we've finally grasped the laws of chaos. It's time for the insect swarm to break through to the Chaos Realm." (End of Chapter)
