Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 743 Inheritance, Plunder!

What level can one reach if their divine body grows to its limit and they complete the "Mysterious Origin Body Refinement"?

Qin Mu was unaware of this either.

Because no one on the Origin Continent has ever reached a divine body of 12 times before, this is an existence that surpasses the limits of the supreme laws.

But it is at least much stronger than the Infinite Divine Body who follows the path of body refinement. With the comprehension of the Law of the Insect Swarm, reaching the Chaos Realm of transcendence should not be difficult.

Having transcended the Chaos Realm, one can already contend with a powerhouse at the first level of the God King Realm.

If the Destruction Demon Ape completes the "Mysterious Origin Body Refinement" and is further assisted by the Destruction Insect Tide Legion, it is not impossible for it to suppress and kill a powerhouse at the first level of the God King realm.

In this way, there is much that can be accomplished.

"First, cultivate the secret techniques of the Chaos Realm and convert them into combat power as soon as possible."

Having experienced the difference between the Chaos Realm and the Eternal True God, Qin Mu stopped thinking about it and began to study the secret techniques that could be cultivated at the Chaos Realm level.

For the insect swarm, the real test is about to begin!

The clash between the Zerg swarm, the two ancient kingdoms, and many top powers on the Origin Continent will be inevitable.

A large tree can provide shelter for ants, but could it possibly hide a giant elephant?

Having broken through the Chaos Realm, the insect swarm has transformed from ants into giant elephants!

Do not!

It cannot be called a giant elephant, but rather it has transformed into a divine dragon!

The tens of millions of top-tier units, such as the Destruction Demon Ape, the Life Heavenly Dragon, and the Giant Ruins Divine Elephant, which are scattered throughout the wilderness of the Origin Continent, and the hundreds of millions of ordinary units, could barely hide when they were Eternal True Gods.

After all, there are still a lot of Eternal True Gods and Beasts in the wilderness.

They are seen as ants by those in power.

But what if it transforms into the Chaos Realm?

In the Origin Continent, the Chaos Realm is already a high-level position, belonging to the top powerhouses, and can become a guest elder in the two ancient kingdoms.

He could be granted a title of nobility in any country and control a province.

Or perhaps they would establish their own power base and declare themselves kings or ancestors.

And the swarm of insects...

If all those tens of millions of top-tier units and hundreds of millions of ordinary units were to transform into the Chaos Realm.

This is a complete disaster.

Qin Mu even doubted whether the Origin Continent could supply such a large number of insect swarms to complete their metamorphosis.

The top units in the swarm have a lifespan of 12 times that of a god, and their size is more than ten times that of an infinite god!

Any one of them on the Origin Continent can stand firmly on the ground and have the sun, moon and stars above their head.

During the time of the Eternal True God, in order to accelerate the transformation of the insect swarm, the 10081 miniature universes of the Cosmic Sea frantically absorbed them. Most of the alien beasts devoured in the wilderness were also digested.

Even so, it's still far from enough.

The swarm can only enter the Chaos Layer to directly absorb the Chaos Power within.

The Chaos Stones and Chaos Crystals used by cultivators are formed by the erosion and condensation of matter by the chaotic power flowing out from the Chaos Layer.

However, the chaotic power of the chaotic layer is too violent, making it very difficult to devour.

However, once one reaches the Chaos Realm, this absorption speed increases significantly.

Let alone the entire swarm transforming into the Chaos Realm, even if only one in a million transforms into the Chaos Realm, it would still be in the hundreds of millions.

Who can stop a swarm of billions of Chaos Realm insects?

Of course, the time and resources required to complete the metamorphosis of so many swarm units are also astonishing.

Close your eyes, stop thinking about these things, and countless Chaos Realm secret techniques appear in the Zerg swarm network.

There are many kinds of secret techniques in the Chaos Realm.

However, for a normal Chaos Realm cultivator, this level is the most important, and the first thing they study is the secret technique for preserving their life.

Why would a God-King, so high and mighty, need to show respect to the Chaos Realm?

The main reason is that even a God-King would find it difficult to kill a Chaos Realm cultivator, such as the "Undying River" in the Duan Donghe lineage.

With just a single drop of blood, he can be resurrected.

That's not all. The most unique and seemingly unsolvable secret technique in the Chaos Realm is the Reincarnation Secret Technique.

Under normal circumstances, even if a powerful opponent of the same level can kill an enemy, it is difficult to prevent the opponent from reincarnating.

Not everyone can transcend their own level of willpower and instantly kill their opponent.

As long as there is a trace of consciousness remaining in the Chaos Realm, one can be reincarnated.

Once reincarnation follows the supreme rules, it proceeds naturally. Past karma is completely erased, and there are no enemies to be found.

In this way, the enemy was forced to go completely into the shadows.

Who would want to provoke someone without absolute certainty of killing them?

A God-King level expert is not afraid of being attacked by a Chaos Realm expert.

However, most god-kings possess power, have numerous descendants and large families, and have many attachments.

Even the God King could not stop the relentless revenge of the reincarnated Chaos Realm expert.

This is also why the Chaos Realm holds a transcendent status, and even God Kings must show it respect.

"This reincarnation technique is too heaven-defying, it can be called the number one secret technique in the Chaos Realm. It is most likely created by 'Yuan'."

As Qin Mu pondered the matter, he thought to himself.

Besides "Yuan", Qin Mu couldn't think of anyone else who could create such a secret technique.

The secret technique of reincarnation is very common in the Origin Continent. Almost all Chaos Realm cultivators can master it, and even slightly powerful forces have inherited it.

This is unreasonable.

The major powers in the Origin Continent are extremely protective of their own secret techniques and never pass them on to outsiders.

For example, the Donghe River lineage has methods such as using lineage markers.

Once the supreme law is revealed, the backlash will be devastating, and death is inevitable.

The two ancient kingdoms and other powerful forces also possessed methods to protect their secret techniques from being passed on to outsiders.

Even the highest-ranking emperor cannot disobey. Powerful secret techniques and the like require contributions.

The reincarnation technique, such a heaven-defying secret method, has been spread everywhere, which clearly indicates that a powerful figure is secretly promoting it.

Of course, the method of reincarnation is not without its flaws.

Whether one can retain memories and remain lucid in reincarnation depends on one's will and spirit.

A god-king level will, capable of remaining conscious indefinitely! Conscious even in the fetal stage, possessing complete memories.

Therefore, after birth, one can quickly cultivate and recover to their original strength.

Like the Mountain Dweller, who was reincarnated immediately after entering the Origin Continent.

During the first era of the swarm's rapid development, the insects sought out the swarm and returned to the territory of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

With ample resources, Zuo Shan Ke has recovered his Chaos Realm strength and even achieved a breakthrough with the Infinite Divine Body.

The swarm's reputation for the Myriad Beasts Sect was built on a secret agreement with the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

With the Mountain Hermit in charge, many issues that the Stream and Marsh cannot handle are handed over to the Mountain Hermit for resolution.

The ruler of Yun Kingdom had repeatedly tested the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's secrets, and it was the Mountain-Sitting Guest who did so.

This is the mental will of a god-king.

The weaker ones aren't as good.

The peak of chaotic will can preserve the complete memories within a wisp of true spirit.

But when he will regain consciousness is uncertain.

They may awaken during their youth, or they may awaken only after becoming a true god of the void or even an eternal god, and only then will they have mastered all memories.

As for the weaker mental will?

Even memories can be fragmented, making the possibility of awakening extremely low; some may never even awaken their past life memories in their lifetime.

Therefore, the risk is still very high.

"Because of the secret method of reincarnation, many brilliant geniuses in history may have been reincarnations of powerful figures. Some powerful figures who disappeared or died may have been secretly reincarnated."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

"This secret technique is of little use to me."

The swarm has spread to most of the Origin Continent. The only way to kill me is through chain attacks such as mental will, causal destruction, and the curse of destruction.

However, given my mental fortitude and the unique properties of my 12 times stronger Xuan Yuan body, which are unaffected by cause and effect, achieving this would be virtually impossible.

After studying it briefly and learning the secret method of reincarnation, Qin Mu stopped thinking about it.

He then began to learn other secret techniques.

All of these techniques, including "Mysterious Origin Body Refining," "Severance," "East River," "Chaos Annihilation Axe," and "Original Sky Rift," which involve swarm body refining, burning divine power, and combat secrets, must be learned.

But Qin Mu knew very well that at this point, the swarm's past resources were no longer sufficient.

For those in the Chaos Realm, having already mastered the Laws of Chaos, the next step is to comprehend the Great Dao of Origin.

The core lineages within the insect swarm are the lineages of the Wutong God King, the Zuoshanke, the Duandonghe, some of the Huofeng God King's lineages, and the Jiemu bloodline.

And the most unique legacy of the Beast King.

As the Beast King continues to devour, its strength will increase, and the Great Dao of Destruction will naturally grant it corresponding secret techniques and methods.

This can last until the ultimate realm of God King.

There is also the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, which can be directly observed within the primordial universe, and this can also be considered a form of inheritance, but it requires one's own comprehension.

In addition, the swarm obtained hundreds of Chaos Overlord-level inheritances and numerous alien beast bloodline inheritances while developing the Three Thousand Cosmic Seas.

The inheritance of the Chaos Realm and the bloodline inheritance of exotic beasts are rather vague and incomplete regarding the fundamental Dao.

What I need now is a God-King level inheritance.

This includes the inheritance corresponding to the nine supreme rules of the origin continent, such as life, destruction, time, and space; the inheritance of the soul path; and the inheritance of the fusion of these ten fundamental paths.

Such as the inheritance of birth and death, the inheritance of time and space, etc.

Of course, there are other aspects as well, such as the God-King's inherited insect swarm, which is not one of the nine supreme origins, including earth, fire, and thunder.

There are far too many to list. It's safe to say that the Zerg swarm needs anything that is a legacy of a god-king.

Among the existing inheritances of the Zerg Swarm, the inheritance of the Beast King is the path of destruction, which is the strongest inheritance in the Zerg Swarm.

The inheritance of the Wutong God King mainly concerns life and space, and its route is the Great Dao of Life and Space.

The Sitting Mountain Guest lineage belongs to the weapon crafting tradition, which is based on the fundamental principles of matter.

The Duan Donghe lineage only possesses three divine-king level inheritances: "Duanmie," "Donghua," and "Busihe," which do not involve the fundamental laws.

The legacy of Gem is the fundamental path of life.

The path of the Fire Phoenix God King is the direction of life and the origin of fire.

In other words, the current lineage of the swarm corresponds to only four of the nine supreme laws of the origin continent: life, destruction, matter, and space.

This alone is clearly insufficient for the swarm's continued growth.

"The Zerg swarm needs more legacy!"

Qin Mu murmured to himself. Through the endless swarm of insects, Qin Mu was able to sense the many primordial Daos hidden behind the chaos!

These fundamental principles, when combined, constitute the supreme rules!

The supreme rules determine the operation of everything in the world.

"The swarm needs too much inheritance, and the inheritance of ordinary god-king forces is simply not enough. In the entire Origin Continent, perhaps only transcendent forces like the two ancient kingdoms can provide it."

Perhaps the three clandestine forces established by alien races—the Two Realms Palace, the Myriad Laws Pavilion, and the Lonely Boat of Time and Space—can also provide this.

However, they are cultivators outside the confines of the cage, and their inheritance from the Origin Continent may not be complete.

Next level up are the three first-rate powers: Tianmu Kingdom, Wanjie Kingdom, and Dongji Domain. Their lineages should also be quite complete.

Yes, and there's also the Shadow Realm.

As the number one assassination force on the Origin Continent, it once had "Emperor-level combat power" in action.

The internal lineage should also be quite rich.

Alternatively, they could only go to the Origin Continent and collect them one by one from those scattered god-king forces.

As he pondered the various forces on the Origin Continent, the light in Qin Mu's eyes gradually turned sinister.

Go and become an apprentice?

To serve as a guest minister?

Doing missions as an assassin?

There seem to be many options, but in reality, there are not.

It is almost impossible to inherit a lineage through apprenticeship.

Inheritance is invaluable to any strong person; without various trials, it is impossible to bestow the core inheritance.

The same applies to the Duan Donghe Inheritance and the Wutong God King Inheritance that I obtained.

The inheritance of the God-King is a core inheritance in any faction.

If you want to become a guest elder in one of the two ancient kingdoms, following Emperor Yanrui's path is not difficult. His elder brother is a Chaos Realm cultivator in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and has the quota to recruit guest elders.

However, the prerequisite for a guest to obtain the inheritance is to complete tasks and contribute to the two ancient kingdoms!

Otherwise, why would anyone pass on their knowledge to you?

Both ancient kingdoms' emperors needed to make contributions to inherit their thrones.

The difference is that they can obtain resources in advance through "loans" and then pay them back slowly later.

Ordinary guest retainers can only accumulate experience through missions.

The contribution points required for a God-King inheritance are astonishing and can only be accumulated over a long period of time.

This is something that Wutong God King, as a guest minister of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, clearly recorded.

Given that much time, the insect swarm would multiply to an unknown extent over time.

Obviously not suitable.

Being an assassin in the Shadow Realm is similar to being a guest retainer; it's all about completing missions.

The mission was simply to kill.

The God of Slaughter exchanges for a new legacy?

You might as well just rob it yourself!

That's right, it's robbery!

Using a strategy of surrounding the city with wilderness, the swarm of insects lies in wait in the endless wilderness of the Origin Continent. Once a portion of the swarm has fully metamorphosed, they can then raid the inheritances of various forces and the treasure lands they control!

The continent of origin is rich in precious resources.

What is the most precious of them all?

These are resources left behind by the Yuan Dynasty! They are what is known as a "treasure land"!

Yuan left behind a considerable amount of resources on the continent of origin, and the two ancient kingdoms possessed the vast majority of these resources.

Those who are not members of the royal family simply cannot get their hands on it!

Even becoming a guest advisor to one of the two ancient kingdoms wouldn't suffice.

Resources belonging to the royal family of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom can only be allocated to the royal family!

Those who are not members of the royal family must make meritorious contributions to earn this position.

Even the most important resources are not given in exchange for merit.

"These resources are the most valuable on the Origin Continent, and they are also the key targets that the Zerg swarm needs to seize."

From the inheritance of the Wutong God King, Qin Mu had a general understanding of most of the treasure lands on the Origin Continent.

For example, the treasure land "Dream Realm".

The dream realm is mysterious and wondrous, like a vast collection of bubbles, each bubble being an independent space with different operating rules within it.

These spaces can nurture all sorts of strange and wonderful treasures.

Any one of these treasures could trigger a frenzy of fighting among god-kings, and many of them contain powerful inheritances.

Or perhaps the auspicious place "Tianhe".

The "Heavenly River" is especially suitable for cultivators with the Hunyuan bloodline attribute, and it possesses a large number of treasures suitable for the water attribute.

Any single treasure could spark a fight among the gods.

Similar treasure lands include "Flaming Mountain", "Heavenly Sea Realm", and "Heaven and Earth Maze", etc.

These precious lands were almost all forcibly sealed off by the two ancient kingdoms using formations.

To get in, you either need to be a member of one of the two ancient kingdoms, or you need to pay a high price to buy a spot!

In addition, there are some special treasure places such as "Infinite Space".

The infinite space is similar to a 'virtual universe'. It is not a physical entity that enters, but rather a consciousness. Within it, one can cultivate, create laws, and receive rewards.

However, these kinds of treasure lands require special guidance tokens, etc.

Without a token, one is not qualified to enter.

The vast majority of these tokens are held by the two ancient kingdoms and various powerful forces.

"Accumulating strength and seizing resources is the main path."

However, the swarm's strength is insufficient after its breakthrough.

During this period, we can first expand the swarm-based virtual universe 'Virtual God Realm' within the territory ruled by the Myriad Beasts Sect, allowing billions of cultivators to enter and, with the help of their wisdom, cultivate many fundamental Daos!

Qin Mu murmured softly.

Upon entering the wilderness, Qin Mu established the Insect Domain and conducted small-scale experiments within its boundaries, using tribal true gods and void true gods such as Shen Tu Hong as experimental subjects, to create the Origin Continent version of the virtual universe 'Virtual God Realm'.

Now, it's time to get started.
