Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 309 The Zerg Queen's Surprise and Doubt, the Three Races Alliance!

Deep within the Zerg territory, in the center of a vast continent, lies an island.

One by one, the insect queens, with butterfly-like wings, bodies as white and translucent as crystal, and as soft as water, were frolicking with each other.

Each of them possessed unparalleled beauty, and a single glance from them could evoke pity in other creatures.

At the center of the floating island stands a palace carved from wood.

Atop the wooden throne in the palace sat a breathtakingly beautiful being shrouded in a hazy, colorful mist, a being so captivating that even the ruler of the universe would be mesmerized.

She held a seven-colored potion in her fair arm, her expression filled with doubt.

"How exactly do humans manage to mass-produce Spirit-Nourishing Potions?"

The Zerg are most adept at manipulating people's minds.

She had long ago obtained the Spirit Nourishing Elixir through various means, from the lowest level of Realm Lord to the King level.

She also tried to analyze and replicate these medicines.

Every Zerg Queen is a top-tier Soul Master and can spawn a large number of Zerg warriors; in the human race, she would be considered a top-tier Bloodline Apothecary.

As a Zerg god-level powerhouse, she could even cultivate Zerg warriors at the level of top cosmic overlords or even cosmic masters, let alone anything else.

The Zerg Vault contains many treasures that can enhance the soul.

Spirit-Nourishing Potions, even those at the King-level, are nothing special in the Zerg Treasury.

In terms of effectiveness alone, it doesn't even rank in the top 100.

Many Zerg queens follow the path of the soul, so they naturally collect soul-related treasures with all their might.

However, most of the soul treasures in the Zerg Vault are extremely rare, even rare, and cannot be used on a large scale like humans.

Unlike humans, the Zerg Queen does not have the concept of a Divine Kingdom Queen or a Mystic Realm Queen.

The number of Zerg Queens is far too small.

Furthermore, their training strategy is not like that of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, where they are left to their own devices. Instead, they are raised by the entire clan until adulthood, and only after passing tests can they go out to gain experience.

This means that the Zerg Queens that the outside world can see are at least at the peak World Lord level, and the Immortals are at least at the peak of the King level.

Even if their numbers are small, they are still a group.

Because the need to cultivate Zerg warriors is even greater than that of conventional races such as humans and demons.

Especially the Spirit-Nourishing Potion!
The Zerg wanted it most, and to that end, they employed a large number of experienced spies to try every means to obtain it.

If obtained, it would greatly enhance the strength of the Zerg Queen.

They did obtain a considerable amount of intelligence, regardless of the cost.

Some of the top alchemists in the human race have already mastered the method of refining spirit-nourishing potions, and they are striving to obtain it.

Meanwhile, the strongest members of the Zerg are also working on breaking the code.

For example, the Empress.

With her abilities, she could actually refine treasures with effects comparable to the Divine Essence Elixir using some materials from the universe.

However, the quantity is too small and the cost is too high!
There is simply no possibility of it becoming widespread.

The most terrifying aspect of the Spirit Nourishing Potion is its affordability and widespread availability.

"We still can't find 'Bian Que,' but there's still the 'Soul Palace'! The Soul Palace and the Spirit Nourishing Potion definitely have some kind of relationship, and the materials for the Spirit Nourishing Potion may very well come from the Soul Clan."

The Zerg Queen's eyes flashed, and a series of thoughts raced through her mind.

The Zerg put in a lot of effort to explore the secrets of the Soul Palace, but they didn't get very good results. However, based on some of the battles between the two sides, she had her own guesses.

With a gentle wave of her hand, a scene appeared before her.

It was a thick black mist that obscured vision and blocked divine power from probing.

But the Empress knew that this was the number one Soul General among the so-called 72 generals of the Soul Palace, whose strength was almost overwhelming even among those who were invincible in the King-Sealing Realm.

Many members of the Zerg Alliance, and even the Zerg themselves, have perished at her hands.

Through repeated clashes and feedback, the Empress was able to determine that the Soul Palace's First Soul General must have a very deep relationship with the Zerg, and might even be a Zerg Queen!
Appearance, physique, weapons, and even secret techniques can be disguised, but habits are very difficult to disguise.

As the Zerg Queen, she knew her people all too well.

This filled the Zerg Queen with rage, and she repeatedly tried to have one or two members of the Soul Palace captured alive by her subordinates.

With his unparalleled strength, it would be extremely easy for him to capture and enslave high-ranking kings.

But all failed!
They cannot be enslaved!

It's as if they themselves are enslaved.

Even when suppressed, they can forcefully self-destruct at the last moment to prevent the enemy from knowing their situation.

This made the Empress somewhat want to personally intervene and capture the Soul Palace's number one general alive.

Not just the number one general of the Soul Palace.

There are other powerful members of the Soul Clan, one who resembles the Zerg Queen, and many more who resemble the Demon Clan, especially the royal family of the Demon Clan.

There are no fools among the elite.

Even if it wasn't discovered at the beginning, it would have been discovered hundreds of years later.

The Soul Palace is in big trouble!
As she pondered, a smile appeared on the Zerg Queen's beautiful face.

A thought pierced through the endless distance of space and rang in her ear.

"Join forces? Mengcha, has your demon race become so impatient so quickly?"

As the empress finished speaking, a large, silvery-white serpent phantom, surrounded by countless snake shadows, appeared and stared indifferently at the insect queen.

"Aren't you Zerg worried?"

The silver-white snake head emitted a sound.

"Stop testing us, let's do it together. The appearance of the Spirit Nourishing Potion allows the top geniuses among the humans of the Divine Kingdom and the humans of the Secret Realm to possess the potential of the cosmic humans."

Furthermore, repeated use can even lead to becoming a genius in matters of the soul.

"Cultivating a few geniuses in the short term is fine, but over a long period, it would be equivalent to increasing the potential of the human race tenfold or a hundredfold. This would disrupt the balance between our four races."

"Do you really want to see humanity rise again, just like the 'primordial progenitors' of the past, dominating the entire primordial universe and the cosmic sea?"

The Zerg Queen fell silent.

How could she not know the effects of this Spirit Nourishing Elixir on humans?
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find out about the Spirit Nourishing Elixir.

To enable humanity to rise again?
how can that be!

When the Primordial Ancestor appeared out of nowhere, even the strongest beings of all the peak races in the entire Primordial Universe dared not go to the Cosmic Sea, and could only hide in the Primordial Universe.

The progenitor was also proficient in soul attacks!
Only true gods who possess supreme treasures to protect their souls can escape from the primordial ancestor.

Even if the Lord of the Universe has a strong consciousness and possesses supreme treasures to protect his soul, he will still die before the Primordial Ancestor.

That period was the pinnacle of human achievement.

This was also the darkest period for other ethnic groups, who were terrified of being targeted by their ancestors.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, the progenitor challenged the original will of the universe and was eventually suppressed.

Even so, before being suppressed, the progenitor left the human race with the incredible foundation of a virtual universe, greatly enhancing the potential of all humanity.

The same applies to the Spirit Nourishing Potion!

Unlike the individual rise of the progenitor, this is a fundamental treasure that can make humanity as a whole stronger and give birth to more immortals, venerable beings, and even cosmic masters.

Unless the Zerg also obtain this treasure.

Otherwise, war would inevitably break out.

Let's join forces!

The Zerg Queen's beautiful face revealed a chilling murderous intent.

"I'll contact the machines. On the extraterrestrial battlefield, our demon race, insect race, and machine race will join forces to deal with humans and wipe out the younger generation of humans!"
Humanity cannot rise to power, much less can a second progenitor emerge.

The silver-white snake head sneered.

There are still many concerns about the outbreak of a real tribal war.

That level of war is devastating and could very well wipe out one's entire race.

If the human giant axe founder were to act without restraint and engage in rampant slaughter, its race would have no choice but to relocate to a smaller universe to survive.

What it wants is not actually to destroy humanity.

Instead, their aim was to curb human development, obtain the formula for the Spirit Nourishing Elixir, and enhance the strength of the demon race.

"Alright! But the machine isn't as easy to talk to as I am; it'd love for us to fight each other."

The Empress's eyes flashed.

Compared to the humans who have shown some signs of rising, the Zerg Queen is actually more wary of the demons!
Among the four top races, the demon race is the most powerful overall.

Two true gods possessing supreme treasures, more than twenty cosmic lords, and a race far larger than humanity, including eighteen royal families and numerous royal families.

If the demon race were to obtain the formula for the Spirit Nourishing Elixir and begin large-scale production...

That threat is far greater than that of humans.

The relationship between the four dominant races has always been one of cooperation and confrontation, with the other three races tacitly suppressing the demon race for a long time.

……

In the endless starry sky, a huge oval-shaped black sphere floats in one place.

Opposite the black sphere phantom was a massive, silver-white serpent phantom, and the Zerg Queen shrouded in a hazy mist.

"Machinery! Humanity has already shown signs of rising. In just a few hundred years, more than ten Venerables, tens of thousands of Kings, and hundreds of millions of Immortals have been born."

This is a huge threat to all three of our races.

The silvery-white giant snake looked at the oval-shaped black sphere.

“Dream Tea, dealing with humans can benefit your demon race and insect race, but it is meaningless to my mechanical race.”

The enormous black sphere emitted a sound.

The machine race has no soul.

The Spirit-Nourishing Potion is meaningless to them, and the Soul Clan's soul attacks and death curses are also ineffective against them.

The demon race and the insect race are the ones who are in a hurry!
Especially the demon race!
The Zerg follow an elite strategy, so their demand for these common, low-end treasures isn't that high.

The demon race, however, possesses enormous physiques, souls, and a vast number of beings.

“Meaningless? In just a few hundred years, the core strength of humanity has begun to surge, with the number of kings alone approaching 150,000, which is 50% more than in the past hundreds of millions of years!”

As time goes by, the accumulation at the bottom will inevitably lead to a transformation in the power of humanity's top echelons, causing the number of cosmic masters to surge.

The giant silver snake's eyes were filled with rage.

"That's a matter for the future, and there are too many variables in the future. A single Spirit-Nourishing Potion can't turn the tide. It might benefit you against humans, but for my mechanical race..."

The mechanical god sneered.

Of the three major races, the demon race was the most excited!

How could he not know what the demons were thinking?

Drive away the wolves and welcome the tiger?

Do they really think other ethnic groups are fools?
Why would he do something that doesn't bring him any benefit?
Suppressing humanity is no problem.

However, the machine race also needs to obtain sufficient benefits, which could be territory, treasures, or resources!
No matter what the Dream Demon Ancestor said, the Mechanical God remained unmoved.

"Wait, stop arguing."

Suddenly, the Zerg Queen's expression changed, becoming extremely gloomy.

"The human race is in big trouble again! A new potion has appeared on their virtual universe website, which is even more terrifying than the Spirit Nourishing Potion!"
