Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"Treasure distribution? What do you two mean by this?"

Qin Mu smiled as he looked at the two God Kings, Zongfu and Yufu. As for God King Dongyang, he didn't say anything. Since he hadn't contributed any effort, he naturally wouldn't participate in the profit sharing.

"The flying boat of the Time-Space Old Demon is extremely valuable; it is almost certain that it surpasses the God King's Palace in terms of the origin of time and space," said God King Yu Fu.

"But getting your hands on this treasure won't be easy."

He was hiding inside, so we could only slowly wear him down. It would take the eldest brother's personal intervention to kill him with a secret treasure that surpassed the God King realm.

This should take quite a while.

Qin Mu nodded in confirmation; it was true.

The defensive capabilities of the treasures surpassing the God King's Palace are astonishing. Only the Time-Space Demon was suppressed so severely. Moreover, the God King Zongfu also possesses a secret treasure that surpasses the God King realm.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to break through it.

"Brother Qin Mu deserves the most credit for this battle. If you hadn't trapped him, we wouldn't have had a chance to make a move. You also contributed to breaking through the formation later."

You own 40% of this treasure, and we each own 30%.

What do you think?

After pondering for a moment, the God-King Zongfu spoke.

The battle is simple, just fight.

However, there are many nuances to the distribution of the treasures after the war, and if not handled properly, it could lead to serious problems.

He coveted this palace treasure that surpassed even the God-King, but he also coveted Qin Mu!

Given the strength Qin Mu has demonstrated, once he breaks through to the God King Realm, he can't even imagine how terrifying that swarm of insects would be.

"I have no problem. Killing the God King of the Time-Space Lonely Boat and breaking through the flying boat still depends on my two elder brothers. Forty percent is already a lot for me."

Qin Mu readily nodded.

This was an unexpected delight; a treasure surpassing even the most precious artifacts of the God-King's Palace by 40% was already quite astonishing.

If it weren't for Yu Fu blocking the way, the Time-Space Old Demon wouldn't have been able to survive with just the Insect Domain and the Insect Tide.

"Alright! Since you have no problem, let's wait until we break it open and then see how much it's worth. Not only the Time-Space Flying Boat, but also the treasures of the nine God-Kings, we'll get a share."

Unfortunately, they wouldn't bring back any particularly valuable treasures from their adventures in the Dream Realm.

The items obtained in the dream realm are all with the Old Demon of Time and Space, and their value cannot be determined.

Seeing that Qin Mu had no problems, the Divine King Zongfu immediately made the decision as well.

"Brother Zongfu, Brother Yufu, I'm not very interested in that time-space flying ship treasure."

If possible, I would like to exchange it for an equivalent corpse of a Chaos Origin Lifeform, or a treasure such as an array diagram.

The specific requirements remain the same as last time.

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Mu spoke.

It would be a lie to say that he is not interested in palace treasures that surpass the level of a god-king.

With such a treasure, the security of the core mothership of the Zerg swarm would be greatly enhanced.

However, there is only one treasure, and I can only possess forty percent of it, and I don't know when I will be able to break through it.

It would be better to prioritize acquiring treasures that can temporarily strengthen the insect swarm!

The insect swarm is about to undergo a metamorphosis.

After the transformation is complete, it will be time for him to go to the Source World to fight; he doesn't have much time to wait.

Moreover, since he voluntarily gave up, the two veteran overlords, Zongfu and Yufu, would definitely give him ample compensation.

"You're planning to replace it with the remains of a Chaos Origin Lifeform and the array diagram?"

Zongfu and Yufu exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with joy.

The two of them were brothers who had been through thick and thin together, so it would be best if Qin Mu could give up on his own initiative.

"We took advantage of you."

The merit points value of this flying boat treasure is astonishing; it can be exchanged for a great many array diagrams and the remains of Hunyuan life forms.

"I can give you some of the remains of Chaos Origin beings and array diagrams I have first, and my brother and I will give you the rest later."

"Zongfu God King said without hesitation."

After witnessing the insect swarm, he understood why Qin Mu needed to collect a large number of array diagrams.

The insect tide, formed by the massive swarm of insects, was further enhanced by the array diagram.

They can easily contend with the second level of the God King realm.

But it's a good thing for them.

"I also have several array diagrams for the second level of the God King realm, as well as fragments of Hunyuan life. I can also exchange them for the array diagrams and fragments held by other God Kings in the Mother River of Life faction."

At that time, the Old Demon of Time and Space couldn't easily attack us from outside, but your Qin Kingdom was too conspicuous.

This old man is ruthless and unscrupulous. Even if you're not afraid of him, it's always good to improve your strength.

Our external avatar will deliver the items to you first.

Yu Fu, the God King, was also decisive.

They absolutely won't lose money on this business; in fact, they'll make a huge profit.

To put it bluntly, this flying palace treasure, which surpasses the level of a god-king, is more valuable than Zongfu's "Causal Wind"!

Their combined net worth probably doesn't even amount to that much.

"Thank you very much!"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up; this was exactly what he wanted!

Compared to a top-tier palace treasure, improving the overall strength of the Zerg swarm is more important.

Don't say he only accounts for 40%.

Even if he were given it, he wouldn't be able to unleash its power beyond that of a God King's Palace Treasure; its effect would likely be no different from that of a typical God King's Palace Treasure at the second level.

"Huh, a powerful expert from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom has come over from that mountain range."

As they were talking, Qin Mu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Through the swarm units that remained lurking in the Mountain World, he saw a black river flow across the sky above the Mountain World, condensing into a massive figure.

With a flick of his finger, Qin Mu displayed the imposing phantom before the group.

"It is Emperor Wu, one of the thirteen emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom!"

King Zongfu recognized the other party at a glance.

"Emperor Wu cultivates the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, and has long maintained avatars in the Dream Domain. Fortunately, we acted quickly. If we had been delayed even slightly, the Old Demon of Time and Space might have escaped."

With a sense of relief, Yu Fu Shen Wang Dao.

"Never mind him, we've got the stuff. The Dream Realm is extremely complex. Once we leave that space, no matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to find us."

King Zongfu glanced at it only once and then paid no more attention.

"I originally planned to explore a few more worlds, but this time I was lucky enough to obtain the Time-Space Demon's flying boat."

However, the Dream Realm is too dangerous, and sealing the flying boat inside Yu Fu's body is not safe either.

My idea is to send the treasure out first and then suppress it in the Mother River World.

What do you think?

Having made an unexpected gain, Zongfu clearly had no intention of staying in the Dream Realm any longer. After all, the combined gains from ten expeditions into the Dream Realm were far less than those from a single palace treasure that surpassed the level of a God-King.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

This clone of mine only carries about one-tenth of its energy. The Old Demon of Time and Space has many complex methods; even if the two of us join forces, we might not be able to completely seal it.

Yu Fu agreed.

"Then you guys go back first. I plan to continue exploring the Dream Realm. Before I leave, could you please travel through a few worlds and drop off some of my insect swarms?"

This dream realm is perfect for my cultivation.

Qin Mu naturally didn't want to go out; he had only just begun exploring one world.

He didn't plan to take any of the insectoid units out of the Dream Realm; he would leave them there.

Before carrying out the mission, take the treasures you have acquired.

"Okay, no problem, it's just a small matter. It's just that I'm a bit sorry about Dongyang; I was originally planning to explore a few more worlds."

Zongfu God King looked at Dongyang God King with some apology.

"Brother, you're too kind. Although we've only explored one world, with Qin Mu around, the gains are comparable to the previous ten worlds."

The Eastern Sun God King glanced at Qin Mu with some envy and said decisively.

He was just there for show this time.

It's already amazing that he's achieved this much; if he stayed here alone, he would have perished very soon.

After reaching an agreement, Qin Mu left behind a dozen or so insect swarms in this dream realm, and then the God King Zongfu led them to the next dream realm.

After more than ten consecutive traversals, the final Kunpeng mother nest was left in a dream realm.

Meanwhile, the three God Kings immediately flew out of the Dream Realm.

"This unexpected encounter with the Time-Space Demon has caused the swarm's strength to surge in a short period of time, but we must also be wary of the Time-Space Demon's retaliation."

The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom should already know that I've joined the Life Mother River faction; let's see how they react.

Within the mountain range, one of Qin Mu's avatars watched Emperor Wu tear through space and depart, and thought to himself.

His original plan was to explore the area with King Zongfu and the others before the swarm acted on its own, so being a little ahead of schedule was fine.

This mountain range has been thoroughly searched by the insect swarm and the Zongfu creatures, so there are basically no treasures left in it, making it relatively safe.

Suitable for insect colony development.

As for the insect swarms in the other dozen or so spaces, after finding a safe area, they have begun to explore and expand outwards.

Dream creatures generally reside in fixed territories.

Only a very few people leave the territory under special circumstances.

Therefore, even if the swarm's strength is greatly dispersed, there will not be a major crisis.

"During this period, the swarm has analyzed some native life forms of the Dream Realm and integrated them into the swarm. Taking advantage of the special environment of the Dream Realm, the swarm's mental will has also been significantly enhanced."

With his eyes closed, Qin Mu began to cultivate the secret technique of mental will.

Not only the "Heart Wheel Millstone", but other traditions also contain secret methods related to the mind and will. For example, the "Nine Realms of Extinction" contains a method for refining the mind through destruction.

time flies.

The insect swarms, distributed across various worlds of the dream realm, began to gradually explore outwards after completing the initial establishment of their insect domains.

During this time, I encountered many dream realm creatures and discovered quite a few treasures.

Without the two top-tier henchmen, King Zongfu and King Yufu, many treasures could only be looked at and could not be forcibly plundered.

For example, in one area, the swarm's scout unit discovered a rare treasure in the magma veins, worth tens of millions of merit points.

However, there is a large dream realm clan guarding that place, whose leader possesses the combat power of a God King at the ultimate level.

Faced with such overwhelming power, the Zerg swarm simply couldn't break through.

However, Qin Mu was not in a hurry.

If you can't defeat a God-King at the Ultimate Realm, then hunt down ordinary God-King Dream Realm beings, or accumulate strength to hunt down God-King at the Second Realm.

After numerous battles, Qin Mu gained a clear understanding of the insect swarm's combat capabilities.

Take the most powerful and devastating Zerg swarm as an example.

A swarm of billions of Destruction Insects, led by the Perfect Divine Body Destruction Demon Ape, is powerful enough to easily hunt down a first-level God King.

However, it would be somewhat difficult for someone at the second level of the God King realm.

The only way is to wage a prolonged war of attrition with swarms of insects and wear them down.

Even the God-King's reserves of divine power are limited.

After a prolonged period of attrition, their strength will decrease, making them easier to kill.

This method is only effective against stupid dream-realm beings, who don't move around easily and have low intelligence, making them the perfect targets for combat.

However, it is difficult to obtain the treasures they guard using this method.

When faced with a life-threatening crisis, the beings in the Dream Realm often choose to destroy their treasures.

If it were a second-level God-King from the Origin Continent, like the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom, they would not be caught in the insect swarm at all, making it very difficult to hunt them down.

As for other insect swarms, such as the weaker Boundless Insect Swarm Legion, they are equivalent to the invincible level of the first level of the God King realm.

They felt somewhat powerless against the second level of the God King realm.

Of course, this is a single legion.

In actual combat, the swarm would naturally not do that.

When multiple swarms of insects cooperate in combat, their combat capabilities will be greatly enhanced.

If combined with the array diagram, even a typical second-level God King can be hunted down by the swarm of insects!

Numerous battles, along with the unpredictable environment of the Dream Realm, have significantly accelerated the fusion progress of the Insect Swarm, including the Life-and-Death Insect Swarm and the Time-Space Insect Swarm.

They even evolved into more species of insect colonies.

For example—the Dream Swarm!

This swarm of insects, perfectly adapted to the dream world environment, possesses dream world life characteristics and has a significantly enhanced mental and willpower.

Adaptive evolution is one of the greatest strengths of insect swarms!

Some of the fastest-evolving insect swarms have even been able to manipulate the rules of the dream realm, just like other dream realm life forms, to form special domains!

This discovery filled Qin Mu with immense joy.

Moreover, the swarm's reconnaissance method—the Eye of Insight—has also made great progress in actual combat.

Although the beings in the Dream Realm are clumsy, they often possess a natural ability to hide.

Or they may transform into stones, trees, or even disappear directly into the void.

You could be killed by it if you're not careful.

This is why it is essential to have someone scout ahead when exploring the Dream Realm, and the scout must be extremely strong, otherwise they will soon perish there.

Because no one knows whether, during the exploration, a dream realm life form at the ultimate level of a god-king will suddenly fly out.

In this situation, the swarm's Eye of Insight had to be modified and optimized time and time again.

The Eye of Insight is not a single secret technique, but a set of secret techniques!

It is composed of the Eye of Destruction of the Zerg Swarm, the Eye of Life of the Zerg Swarm, and the Eye of Space of the Zerg Swarm.

For example, a top-tier large-scale reconnaissance unit evolved within the swarm.

This large reconnaissance unit evolved from the Kunpeng, and its giant Kun-like head has hundreds of eyes, each corresponding to a reconnaissance technique.

It can detect any type of abnormal fluctuation, such as souls or life forms.

In the dream realm, the insect swarm grows at an astonishing rate.

However, Qin Mu was not in a hurry to go to the deeper space of the Dream Domain to cultivate.

The swarm's strength, even when it reached the deeper layers of the dream realm, was still far from sufficient, both in terms of mental will and combat power.

The middle level of the dream realm is just right.

Meanwhile, on the Origin Continent, the crisis stemming from the insectoid swarm's cooperation with God-King Zongfu and his group in suppressing the Time-Space Demon is brewing, and the exposure of their identities is also creating a crisis. (End of Chapter)
