Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

Inside the virtual universe's simulator of all races, Zhou Yuan was controlling the body of a mechanical warrior, mainly to perceive the subtle details within the body, paying particular attention to the differences in the form of soulless consciousness.

Zhou Yuan has been practicing in the Myriad Races Simulator for almost a year. The Myriad Races Simulator charges a cosmic-level expert 500 million cosmic coins per year, which is quite expensive, but the results are also very significant.

Aside from returning the nutrient capsules to Nanyun City, he spent almost all his time in the multi-race simulator, familiarizing himself with the physical characteristics of each race.

A wisp of consciousness manipulates the bodies of different races in the virtual universe, while the rest controls the bodies in reality for cultivation. Through comparison and insight between the real and virtual universes, Zhou Yuan grasps the speed at which a race can change.

By now, he has been able to perfectly transform into thousands of different races, whether they are flesh-and-blood beings or plant-based beings, he can imitate them all with remarkable accuracy, and he can even simulate their soul aura and life imprint. Ordinary immortal powerhouses cannot distinguish the real from the fake.

According to Zhou Yuan's speculation, only the master of the universe who controls spacetime can distinguish the differences.

However, during practice, Zhou Yuan also discovered the limitations of the Thousand Transformations Secret Technique. First, there was the limitation on body size; he could not transform into a being larger than his actual size, and could only maintain his current size or shrink.

Secondly, there is the energy limitation. The energy contained within the body cannot increase after the change. For example, he is currently at the second level of the universe, with a gene level of 60 times, but his actual energy is about the same as that of the eighth level of the universe.

When he transforms into the appearance of a level nine powerhouse in the universe, he appears to have the aura of a level nine powerhouse, but in actual combat he can only exert the output of a level eight powerhouse.

"Sigh, it's really hard to transform into a soulless race like the Machine Race." Zhou Yuan tried to perfectly transform into a Machine Race again, but failed again.

In fact, with his current level, the mechanical race he transforms into is indistinguishable to ordinary immortals, but there is still a slight flaw at the soul level, which will be discovered as soon as he encounters a Soul Master.

The Machine Race is a soulless race, and for a being with a soul to become a soulless being is undoubtedly a great challenge. Zhou Yuan tried countless times, but he could never completely block out his soul fluctuations, which has become a bottleneck for him.

"It's almost been a year. Five hundred million a year's fee is really unaffordable. I can't even afford to renew for the second year," Zhou Yuan muttered about the price of the Myriad Races Simulator. Although Zhou Yuan had earned a lot before, he only had a little over three hundred million universe coins left after spending them all.

Soon, Zhou Yuan's one-year trial period for the Myriad Races Simulator expired, forcing him to stop practicing the transformations of life forms. The transformation of soulless life forms remained stuck, leaving a final, flawed step.

However, Zhou Yuan was not discouraged. He still had inanimate substances to practice with. In the past year, he purchased hundreds of thousands of samples of various substances through the virtual universe and stored them in his storage space. He planned to cultivate for a period of time before going on an adventure. He would use his spare time to practice transforming these substances.

······

After more than a year of seclusion, Zhou Yuan finally reached the third level of the universe. After such a long period of cultivation, Zhou Yuan planned to take a break and practice the Thousand Transformations.

Zhou Yuan took out a metal box from his storage space. It was filled with various material samples, including metals, ores, crystals, wood, rocks, and so on.

He picked up a piece of A3 grade gold and examined it closely, feeling its texture, weight, atomic structure, and the faint energy fluctuations it contained.

"Let's begin." Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sank his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness, mobilizing the power of the ever-changing secret technique. In his mind, he simulated the form and structure of A3-grade gold, guiding the transformation of the primal force and spiritual power within his body.

As the secret technique was activated, Zhou Yuan's body began to change. His skin gradually turned golden yellow, and a metallic luster appeared on its surface. His body density also continued to increase, and his weight became heavier and heavier.

In no time, his body completely transformed into a human-shaped piece of gold, exactly like real gold in both appearance and texture.

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes and moved his body. Although he had turned into metal, he could still control his movements. He walked to a pile of ore and placed his arm on a piece of A6-grade blue gold, feeling the difference between the two metals. Then he tried to transform himself into the blue gold form.

This transformation was more difficult than before because blue gold is a higher grade than gold, and the higher the grade of the metal, the more difficult it is to transform. However, Zhou Yuan had previously studied the structure and properties of various substances in the virtual universe, and blue gold was naturally among them, so he succeeded quickly.

As Zhou Yuan progressively upgraded the metal's grade, the changes became increasingly difficult. Ultimately, Zhou Yuan stopped before reaching Grade E metal. Grade E metal was still too advanced; Zhou Yuan failed.

However, he turned to experimenting with other materials, from metals to ores, from ores to crystals, and from crystals to wood. Each change brought him new insights.

Practicing the transformation of inanimate matter is simpler than transforming living species, but it still has its difficulties. Inanimate matter has no soul or life imprint, but its molecular structure and energy fluctuations are all different, requiring very precise control to perfectly simulate them.

For example, when transforming into rock, it is necessary to simulate the rough texture, porous structure, and weak earth element energy contained in the rock; when transforming into energy crystal, it is necessary to simulate the transparent texture, crystal structure, and pure energy contained in the crystal.

Zhou Yuan spends several hours every day practicing transforming various substances. He gradually transitions from simple single-substance transformations to complex mixed-substance transformations, and can even transform his body into multiple different substances simultaneously.

For example, transforming the upper body into metal, the lower body into rock, and the arms into crystal requires extremely high control; a slight mistake can lead to failure.

He also tried to transform into an ordinary stone while maintaining the defenses of a metal, appearing as stone to the machine but able to withstand attacks far exceeding those of an ordinary stone.

Zhou Yuan's practice in his spare time made him increasingly proficient in his ever-changing techniques. He could now perfectly transform them into hundreds of thousands of different substances, indistinguishable from the real thing by either the naked eye or instruments. He could also combine the properties of different substances to create new ones.

After mastering the fundamentals of material change, Zhou Yuan began to attempt more challenging tasks.

First, we tried to transform it into various mechanical devices, starting with the change in form, and then the internal wiring and components. Step by step, we transformed it into the shape of equipment, progressing from static to dynamic, improving step by step until the equipment could operate successfully.

From simple to complex, and even more complex intelligent brains, they not only have completely identical appearances, but can also access virtual universe networks.

After that, he tried to transform into a Force weapon. Not only was the appearance similar, but the internal Law Runes were also perfectly replicated, making it look just like a real Force weapon in front of the instrument.

Looking at the secret runes within his body, Zhou Yuan was shocked. Now that he knew the runes and the material ratios, could he forge weapons made of primal force?

"I never expected that the ever-changing effects would have this kind of effect," Zhou Yuan muttered to himself. He decided to give it a try later.
