Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 91 Zerg Legacy

Deep within Shennongjia, Qin Mu stood in the void, looking down at the enormous sphere with a diameter of over 800 meters.

The surface of the sphere clearly shows some pits and channels, and traces of venom still flow from these pits, with poisonous gas permeating the air.

But it's much better than at the beginning, when the poisonous gas swirled around us like a cloud, making it impossible to see anything.

As more and more Zerg units rushed into the pit passage of the Queen's Nest, the last remaining trace of poison gas was being rapidly consumed.

Some Zerg units have already ventured deep into the Queen's Hive, exploring its honeycomb-like interior.

The nest structure of this mother nest is very different from the nest structure of the insect swarm to which Qin Mu belongs.

In terms of appearance alone, the swarm of insects led by Qin Mu is pyramid-shaped, while the queen's swarm is spherical, and their internal structures are completely different.

"These chambers are likely used to incubate Zerg units."

With his consciousness descending upon a centipede-like venomous insectoid unit, Qin Mu examined the internal structure of the Queen's Nest.

Qin Mu wouldn't enter the area in his true form until the poisonous gas was completely cleared and a safe passage was found. It would be too much of a loss to die at that point; although he could rebuild his body after death, it would still consume energy and time.

The interior of the Queen's Nest wasn't very large. After the massive swarm of Zerg rushed in, although they were temporarily blocked by the poison gas, after some Zerg units were killed or wounded, they finally entered the core of the Queen's Nest.

The core of the Queen's Nest is a vast, empty cavity about 100 meters in diameter. This is the heart of the Queen's Nest, where the Zerg Queen sleeps.

When the swarm of insects entered the void, they immediately discovered a humanoid creature about twelve meters tall. This creature was entirely white and translucent, with a delicate body that seemed to be formed from crystal.

Behind her were a pair of wings that resembled butterfly wings, which wrapped around her delicate body like a thin veil, revealing her exquisite figure to the fullest.

Even in her sleep, her brows were still slightly furrowed, which was heartbreaking.

This is the Zerg Queen!

In this universe, the true core member of the Zerg is the Zerg Queen.

It was these Zerg Queens who formed the Zerg, one of the six most powerful races in the universe!

Throughout the universe, humanity, a race that occupies billions of territories, with its numerous powerful individuals, is only on par with the Zerg.

"Such a powerful aura, such a captivating charm."

Even though it had fallen into a deep sleep, the residual power it unconsciously emitted made the Zerg units that entered the void instinctively feel an extremely strong threat and pressure.

Fortunately, the swarm of insects with a collective consciousness is least afraid of such pressure. For the swarm, no matter how strong the opponent is, as long as the Overlord points the way, that is the direction in which they charge.

"However, I have a feeling that although this Zerg Queen is powerful, she feels a bit like my Zerg swarm, as if I was born to command her."

No, it's not about domination. It's more like my life essence is more advanced, like the innate sense of domination that a superior race has over a subordinate race?

Outside the Queen's nest, Qin Mu's expression changed slightly as he sensed the sensation of contact with the Zerg Queen.

Without hesitation, Qin Mu descended, following the passage that the insect swarm had carved out in the Queen's Nest into the core cavity.

"Sure enough, this feeling was even stronger when I faced the Zerg Queen in my true form."

I even sensed a powerful urge, an urge to devour this Zerg Queen, as if consuming her would mend the flaws in my life and make me more perfect!

The moment Qin Mu saw the Zerg Queen, an intense longing, a primal, life-force-driven desire, surged within him.

"Without the isolation of the Queen Mother and the Mother Nest, the sense of dominance of that race became even stronger."

Qin Mu carefully sensed that most instinctive feeling from the depths of his soul.

"This feeling doesn't come from within me, but from the swarm, the swarm's collective will!"

In terms of strength, Qin Mu and the Zerg Queen are worlds apart; there is no comparison between a planetary-level and a world lord-level being.

But in terms of the essence of the soul and the essence of life, Qin Mu seems to be more advanced than this Zerg Queen!

"It's that Zerg larva egg from the very beginning! That larva egg that slept for countless years, its memories shattered!"

Qin Mu's expression was uncertain. Was this innate sense of dominance and the oppressive force of life itself directed only at this sleeping Zerg Queen or at the entire Zerg race that devoured the universe?

Qin Mu had no idea.

This discovery is a good thing, but if not handled properly, it could turn into a bad thing.

His swarm's origins were clearly extraordinary, but if the news leaked and was discovered by other Zerg queens, the entire Zerg queen who devoured the universe would probably want to kill him.

Even the strongest Zerg queen would go mad and want to kill him completely.

No one would want a Zerg Overlord to suddenly appear above their head, especially an invincible powerhouse who already stands at the pinnacle of the universe.

"It seems that the larval egg with shattered memories is very likely the 'Gemu Egg' that Luo Feng saw when he later obtained the Duan Donghe inheritance—a special egg similar to a primordial embryo!"

Qin Mu's consciousness was frantically recalling his memories of devouring the universe.

Later, when Luo Feng obtained the inheritance of Duan Donghe and entered the treasure space, he had to rely on the inheritance mark to select the same Yuan embryo.

Not only can you only take one item, but you must also return one item while you are still alive.

In ancient civilizations, the character "元" (Yuan) held a highly revered meaning, and any treasure bearing this character was considered to be of the highest quality.

"胚" means embryo.

For a powerful person, different treasures are needed at different stages. Generally speaking, a powerful person needs to change countless weapons in the process of going from weak to strong. However, if there is a primordial embryo, then there is no need to do so.

A primordial embryo is a special treasure that is not fully formed. It can grow and is a treasure that can truly accompany you throughout your life!

When Luo Feng was selecting the embryos, he discovered a Zemu egg that was extremely terrifying in ancient civilizations.

The Gem egg is very weak after it is conceived, but it has unlimited growth potential.

Once the Zerg eggs are raised, they can be used for Zerg swarm tactics or elite strategies, far surpassing the breeding and development capabilities of ordinary Zerg queens.

The larval egg he obtained was probably a special existence similar to a Gem egg.

"No wonder the memory of that larvae egg was fragmented, and the entire egg was in a state of exhaustion and dormancy."

"I'm afraid those insect eggs weren't even products of the primordial universe. They were targeted when they arrived there, but I don't know why they survived and even became my clone."

Qin Mu's consciousness raced as he tried to guess what the first insect egg he had obtained was.

If you're still unaware of your swarm's unique characteristics by this point, you're being incredibly slow-witted.

Without much delay, Qin Mu spread his mental power, radiating throughout the entire Mother Queen's Nest.

They didn't attempt to infect the Zerg Queen, who was at the peak of the World Lord level. Although their life essence was higher, the difference in strength between a planetary-level and a World Lord-level being was too great, making it almost impossible to infect and control her. This required careful planning and arrangements before making any further considerations.

Qin Mu had not forgotten that when Luo Feng later enslaved the Zerg Queen, after reaching the level of a World Lord and making careful preparations, he almost awakened the sleeping Zerg Queen by destroying Hu Yanbo's soul secret technique.

His goal is the Queen Mother's Nest!

This is a nest with depleted energy, yet capable of nurturing Zerg warriors of the highest rank!

When Qin Mu's consciousness came into contact with the Queen Mother's Nest, it merged into the Queen Mother's Nest just like it had infected those king-level monsters.

There was no resistance as expected. The entire Queen Mother's Nest seemed to have welcomed its master, cheering and displaying all its information before her.

An immense amount of memory surged into Qin Mu's soul along with this information. It was vast, ancient, and accumulated by generations of Zerg queens, flooding into Qin Mu's soul.

"How can there be so many memories?"

Qin Mu was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that this Zerg Queen also inherited her memories through bloodline, just like the Golden Horned Beast?

Yes, true life is extremely rare among the Zerg, and only the Zerg Queen is a true life.

Their numbers are probably not much greater than those of races like the Golden Horned Beast.

Therefore, their inheritance cannot be like that of humans, relying on their own slow learning and exploration, but rather through bloodline inheritance!

This vast memory is not only preserved in the bloodline of the Zerg Queen, but also in the Queen's Hive.

Qin Mu sat cross-legged in the void, gathering the consciousness of the entire insect swarm. All the mother hives of the swarm stopped their analysis work and focused on receiving this vast sea of ​​memories.

In that vast memory, Qin Mu saw the scenes of generation after generation of Zerg queens nurturing and hatching the Zerg.

Like watching a movie, a massive amount of memories, following the will of the swarm, connected all the mother nests, and the swarm rapidly absorbed a large number of memories.

But even if the entire swarm absorbs it together, it's still too slow compared to this vast amount of memory.

The memories and knowledge there were simply endless.

After mobilizing all the mother nests, Qin Mu felt somewhat overwhelmed, and his head throbbed with pain.

The mother nests, distributed around the world, are all operating at high speed, emitting a buzzing sound, clearly having reached their limit.

Even the normal hatching of Zerg units was affected, as all their energy was focused on receiving inherited memories.

One hour, two hours, three hours!

These memories are like a never-ending, surging sea, constantly pouring in!

Qin Mu, who acted as the interface to the flood of memories, only sensed the genetic maps of Zerg units or scenes of the Zerg Queen cultivating, and had no time to examine them closely.

long time!

One day! Two days! Three days!

Qin Mu remained completely still, focusing all his energy on absorbing these memories.

It wasn't until ten days later that Qin Mu opened his eyes, his gaze filled with wildly excited joy.

"Finally, the inherited memory has been received! The entire swarm's computing power was mobilized, and all analysis and incubation work was stopped. It took a full ten days to complete the reception of the inherited memory."

How much knowledge is actually contained within this?

"We've made it big! Finally, we don't have to suffer from a lack of tradition like before."
