Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 273 The Ascension of the Human Race's Genes and Souls! (4.2k)

Battlefield outside the territory, offering sacrifices to the mainland.

After bidding farewell to his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Chaos City, Qin Ming continued his cultivation in peace.

Although we don't know what happened to the two afterwards, they were right about one thing.

That means my own strength is still too weak, and it would be too dangerous to rashly participate in high-level battles.

Even if he has a trump card that allows him to fight against a cosmic sage.

The commanding power of the fourth-tier Myriad Soul Banner and the Netherworld Regeneration of the fifth-tier Myriad Soul Banner allow Qin Ming to instantly command the power of the King and Marquis Soul Clan within, causing his combat strength to surge.

This is why he needed to establish a powerful army in the underworld.

But it is clear that even a Universe Venerable is far too weak in the face of a top-tier race.

"Irina, have them continue searching for traces of the alien kings! Once we have gathered 72 kings and commanders, if we still haven't found the altar, we'll head to the Star Tower area."

Qin Ming looked at Irina, who was following beside him, and gave the order.

With the endorsement of the Chaos City Lord, the Soul Clan now possesses its own official identity on the outer battlefield. Within the battlefield system, they can also accumulate military merits, access intelligence, and so on.

Efficiency in all aspects naturally improves significantly.

Meanwhile, his mountain giant clone roamed the earth, sweeping across the entire Yanji Continent.

How enormous was the mountain giant?

Its body, a million kilometers tall, after sinking into the earth, can easily govern all situations within a radius of one hundred million kilometers in the form of an earth monarch.

Any slight abnormality can be detected.

Furthermore, even beneath the earth, the mountain giant can maintain a certain speed of movement, exploring the sacrificial towers that may be hidden deep within the earth.

Over the past year, the mountain giants have also discovered many good things.

However, the most important sacrificial tower was nowhere to be found.

"Yes! Master."

Irina said respectfully.

He basically entrusted the affairs of the Netherworld, including the Soul Palace, to Irina, and Irina did a very good job.

Although she has not yet broken through to immortality, Irina's strength is no longer the strongest.

However, during this period, she also consumed two Immortal Soul Essences of Kings, reaching a limit that could be broken at any time.

Once she breaks through, Irina will possess the strength to become an invincible queen!
As the Soul Clan soldiers and commanders grew stronger, Qin Ming no longer needed to intervene in ordinary battles. They could handle even ordinary high-level Kings and peak Kings.

Dozens of kings and 3000 marquises are united and can quickly locate each other through the Netherworld. In addition, kings like Jiujian King, who are at the peak of the king level, already have the ability to teleport.

Its overall combat capability is truly astonishing.

Qin Ming's attention then shifted to comprehending the laws and creating his own secret techniques.

……

The underworld.

The World Tree swayed its emerald green branches and leaves in the gentle breeze.

His talent for controlling space and time is constantly activated, enveloping the entire Netherworld, and he is also comprehending the laws of space and time.

hum!
With the ability to control space and time, huge spatial vortexes continuously appeared in the Netherworld, tearing space apart and annihilating all life.

"Finally, I have mastered the second mystery of the spatial laws, spatial strangulation. Of the three great mysteries of the spatial laws, only teleportation is missing."

The World Tree shook and emitted a joyful sound from Qin Ming.

With the World Tree's talent for controlling space and time, it is much easier to comprehend the mysteries of the laws of space and time, because it can first cast the spell and then control it!
They can even control spacetime, tearing apart space and creating spatial vortexes for strangulation—it's an easy task for them.

Furthermore, with the powerful combination of the Soul River and its clones possessing immense computational power, the mastery speed is naturally tens of thousands of times faster than that of ordinary geniuses.

As the Soul Clan continues their hunt on the Yanji Continent, the River of Souls is growing at an astonishing rate, already exceeding nine million kilometers and hurtling toward the ten million mark.

The River of Souls flowing around the World Tree occasionally splits into a soul fragment, which transforms into the appearance of Qin Ming, dressed in white robes, and flies into a massive palace at the edge of the Netherworld Blood Sea below.

Inside the palace, tens of thousands of alien races, captured by the Soul Clan soldiers, lay quietly in experimental pods.

Dozens of souls and their sub-souls, dressed in white robes, moved among them, occasionally taking out a bottle of potion and giving it to one of the alien races.

After drinking the medicine, some cried out in pain, uttered mournful cries, and some even died on the spot.

Some experienced a surge in their aura, resulting in a significant increase in their strength.

On the other side, in the same hall, some alien races were dissected like lab rats on an experimental table, or their genetic essence was revealed through the ability of flesh and blood to evolve.

With the Soul River's extraordinary soul computing power and his ever-growing body, Qin Ming can focus on a single task at a time, conducting various researches without any interference between them.

With so many test subjects, Qin Ming's analysis of various races and the speed of developing soul potions, bloodline potions, and so on were naturally greatly accelerated.

This is clearly Qin Ming conducting basic research on the Divine Power Flow.

at the same time.

Inside the Chaos City, inside the enormous world ring sent by the Chaos City Lord.

While both are individual soul entities, the experiments here are significantly gentler, relying mainly on various technological instruments.

Those who cooperated with the experiment included humans from the Divine Kingdom, humans from the Secret Realm, and humans from the Cosmic Kingdom.

One by one, they voluntarily took the medicine prepared by Qin Ming, and then, under the monitoring of the instruments, their various reactions were detected, and improvements were made time and time again.

Within some palaces, there are also individual soul sub-bodies of Qin Ming, whose consciousnesses are linked into the virtual universe, where they either learn various potion techniques or conduct experiments.

The virtual universe, which can be called the most powerful cheat code for mankind, also plays a huge role in experimental research. It can simulate various experiments almost perfectly, and the consumption is almost zero!
"I used to think that our human race had little achievement in genetic research, but I was too naive."

Qin Ming looked at the document in front of him and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

The strongest bloodline of the human race is at the Domain Lord level. Not to mention the peak bloodline of the Starry Sky Beast with a gene multiplier of 10, it is far inferior to the bloodline of the demon race.

Even the top ten bloodlines are only comparable to the bloodlines of the demon royal family, and still have a huge gap with the eighteen royal families.

However, as his strength increased, especially after his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Chaos revealed their true intentions and he was determined to study bloodlines and souls, the information that the human elite had been blocking was also made available to him.

Among the ten levels of bloodlines in the human race, the highest is indeed the Domain Lord level bloodline.

However, the human race possesses a sophisticated system that allows for a hundredfold increase in genetic diversity!

Although it was achieved using precious treasures such as Blood Crystals, the top bloodline alchemists among the human race made a series of records of it.

As a top-tier race, the resources in their clan's treasury are truly astonishing.

For example, Blood Crystal is favorable for metal and spatial attributes, but it would be more difficult to fuse with fire attributes, not to mention time-related attributes.

However, the human race possesses other treasures related to fire and time.

For example, fire-attribute treasures include the Blazing Sun Fruit and the Crimson Flame Lotus, which can increase gene multipliers to the limit of a hundredfold. The gold-attribute treasures are not limited to Blood Crystal.

This process of improvement, including data on genetic transformation, is all meticulously recorded.

There is even some data on genes that are hundreds or even tens of thousands of times stronger. "With this, my research on the Divine Power Flow will be much smoother."

While Qin Ming was pleased, he was also quite impressed by the profound heritage of the human race.

"The Spirit Nourishing Potion, which is designed to enhance the abilities of humans in the Divine Kingdom, can also be brought out now. The optimized Spirit Nourishing Potion is more targeted and its effects are gentler."

Qin Ming's gaze fell on the row of medicines on the table.

Spirit-Nourishing Potion!

A soul potion he casually created using his soul essence caused a huge sensation on the battlefield outside the realm, with ninety percent of the realm lords of the divine kingdoms breaking through their limits after taking it.

But that was just a coincidence.

The realm lords of the divine kingdoms who have taken the soul potion are all incredibly powerful. Not only are they all realm lord generals, but some are even powerful beings capable of overpowering immortals.

It's just that there's a slight flaw in the soul.

With just a slight push, they broke through.

However, subsequent research shows that their souls are still not as good as those of normal immortals, and the possibility of them breaking through to the Venerable level is still extremely small.

Qin Ming was able to confirm this from the research conducted by the Chaos City Lord on the World Lord-level experimental personnel he had given him.

After research and optimization, the Soul Control talent is now supported.

The new Spirit Nourishing Elixir requires only three doses to reach the level of a normal human in the universe.

As for breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, Qin Ming couldn't guarantee that, because there was no data to support it, so it could only be a theoretical speculation.

And right in front of him was the Spirit Nourishing Potion, which had been finalized after countless experiments.

Qin Ming has created spirit-nurturing potions ranging from apprentice level to planetary level, stellar level, cosmic level, domain lord level, and finally world lord level.

This was not difficult for Qin Ming.

The potion's effects mainly rely on the soul essence extracted from the Myriad Soul Banner; the potion simply facilitates absorption and maximizes the effect.

"The optimal solution to the soul defects of humans in the Divine Kingdom and the Mysterious Realm is to remedy them when they are still weak. The later the stage, the greater the cost."

A glint flashed in Qin Ming's eyes.

He certainly couldn't create a soul potion to supply all the humans in the divine kingdom, but he could supply a portion of the elite geniuses.

Immediately, his gaze fell upon another row of potions on the table.

Bloodline Elixir!
Human apothecaries have an extremely high level of knowledge about bloodline potions and are able to reliably refine bloodline potions at the domain lord level.

With certain precious treasures, even stronger ones can be created.

The claim that a single dose of Domain Lord-level bloodline potion requires the killing of five or six Domain Lord-level bloodline members is utter nonsense; it's merely a tactic to inflate the potion's price.

But one thing is true.

That is, it is necessary to use the bloodline of a Domain Lord as a 'catalyst', which requires a portion of the blood of a Domain Lord. This also leads to the scarcity of bloodline potions among the human race.

After all, only a minority of Domain Lord-level bloodline powerhouses are willing to 'sell their blood'.

Therefore, Qin Ming set his sights on the Zerg Queen!
The Zerg are one of the six dominant races.

Although the number of Zerg Queens is extremely small, far fewer than the number of Starry Sky Beasts, breaking through to Immortality is the limit to becoming a King, or even directly becoming an invincible King.

However, to some extent, the Zerg are the most numerous.

Even the weakest Zerg Queen can spawn billions of Zerg warriors, enough to conquer a star system or even rule a star field.

The Zerg Queen's most famous tactic is the Million-Strike Combo.

However, this does not mean that they can only produce swarms of millions of insects.

For example, it would take a considerable amount of time for a Queen of the Realm Lord level to conceive a Realm Lord warrior.

But if it's about creating cannon fodder at the cosmic or domain lord levels, then the speed is much faster.

So, is it possible to use the flesh and blood of Zerg warriors to create bloodline potions?

If that were possible, then an almost endless supply of high-end bloodline potions could be created!
The answer is, no.

At least not under normal circumstances.

Through the research of human pharmacists, and with a powerful queen like Irina already under Qin Ming's command, Qin Ming was well aware of the problem.

Without a doubt, the Zerg have the most thorough understanding of bloodlines.

Powerful enough to spawn various Zerg warriors in large numbers.

The Tiger Beetle, for example, is a true World Lord-level bloodline. It reaches the peak of the World Lord level upon adulthood. Purely from the perspective of bloodline, it is even stronger than the most advanced human bloodlines.

However, the Zerg warriors are bred too quickly, and their souls are very weak, making it almost impossible for them to cultivate themselves.

Very few non-Mother Queen Zerg members in the entire Zerg race are capable of becoming 'strong'.

Under such circumstances, how could they not restrict their own bloodline and genes?

Research has revealed that all Zerg warriors possess a genetic lock that prevents their blood from being used to create bloodline potions, even when extracted while they are alive.

After they die, their genes also produce a special reaction that prevents them from using them effectively.

Otherwise, the human race would not have abandoned it in the garbage star system and sold it as trash.

Among the materials Qin Ming applied for from the Chaos City Lord was a living, peak-level World Lord Queen.

There are quite a few peak-level realm lord queens among the human race, and the price isn't too high, only requiring a million Chaos Yuan.

The Zerg Queen's soul is too powerful; she was born with ten thousand soul essences.

Even though powerful humans have created special techniques for enslaving souls, the difficulty of learning them is too high, and very few people are capable of enslaving them.

Without a market, the price naturally won't be too high.

But these were clearly not problems for Qin Ming.

With this queen, Qin Ming could enslave her and naturally breed a large number of Zerg warriors for his research.

The genetic lock in the bloodline of the Zerg Queen.

He tried for a long time but still couldn't crack it.

Qin Ming guessed that this was probably researched by the cosmic ruler of the Zerg, or even the Zerg queen, and engraved deep in the bloodline of all the queen mothers.

Although he couldn't break it either, there was a shortcut in front of the Myriad Souls Banner.
Because the Myriad Souls Banner can directly refine it into the essence of flesh and blood!
That's how the bloodline potion in front of us came about.

Domain Lord-level bloodline potions, and even higher-level World Lord-level bloodline potions, are all available!
By simply capturing some Zerg queens, one can continuously produce massive amounts of bloodline potions from the powerful Zerg warriors they spawn!
"The Spirit Nourishing Elixir allows humans from the Divine Kingdom and the Secret Realm to break through and cultivate normally. After humans from the Cosmic Kingdom use it, their souls will also be greatly strengthened and their thinking speed will be increased."

Bloodline potions can enhance the bloodline of human races and increase their affinity with the laws.

If these two principles were applied, the souls and bloodlines of the entire human race could ascend!
