Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 155 Guidance for Breakthrough in the Path of Divine Power

Virtual universe, the plane of the Giant Axe Temple.

In the deep, dark space, faint starlight flickers, and a simple temple floats in mid-air.

In the not-too-large open space in front of the temple, there was a long stone table with only one stone chair at the head of the table, while there were rows of stone chairs on both sides. At this moment, these stone chairs were occupied by towering figures.

"The last Great Axe Conference was only a few thousand years ago, wasn't it?"

"Yes, Bingfeng wanted to exchange the Soul-Suppressing Pearl for Shen Mu at that time."

The many human cosmic lords conversed among themselves, and for them, holding the Great Axe Conference once again after only a few thousand years seemed rather frequent.

As the highest-level meeting of humankind, it is generally convened only for major events that affect the interests of the entire group.

At the very least, it has to involve a war at the level of a cosmic lord or the ownership of a top-tier treasure.

Although Shen Mu has no shortage of top-tier treasures, that does not mean that top-tier treasures are not scarce.

Keep in mind that the total number of top-tier treasures in the entire human race is only around four figures.

This is the culmination of trillions of epochs; on average, it might take hundreds of millions of epochs to obtain even one top-tier treasure.

Just as everyone was talking, a savage giant with disheveled hair appeared with Shen Mu.

"Shen Mu, please take your seat," the founder of the Giant Axe said.

As the founder of the giant axe took his seat, only one empty seat remained at the long table, bearing the words "Hun Yuan" in the universal language.

Shen Mu nodded slightly, his figure flashed and he appeared next to the empty seat, smiling as he said, "Lord Shen Mu of Hunyuan greets everyone."

Shen Mu is not yet the ruler of the universe, so he uses the title of lord, which is the naming format of top universe overlords.

The Lord of Chaos City, Lord Peng Gong, and their teacher, Lord Ice Peak, along with many other powerful figures, looked at Shen Mu and nodded in response with kind smiles on their faces.

"There are two things to discuss at today's meeting."

The founder of the giant axe spoke, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"First, after my personal confirmation, Hunyuan possesses a divine body truly comparable to a Universe Lord, and also has the strength of a peak or even top-tier Universe Lord... Thus, he officially becomes the 19th Universe Lord of the race!"

Wow!

For a moment, most of the Lords of the Universe looked at Shen Mu, and some even whispered among themselves, clearly surprised by the strength of Shen Mu as described by the Giant Axe Founder.

This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

However, no one dared to question it, because it was something that the founder of the Giant Axe had personally endorsed and confirmed.

Moreover, Shen Mu already possessed a special technique to instantly suppress the Lord of Sirius. Now that he has made up for the shortcomings of his divine body, it is questionable whether he can rival a fourth-order universe lord, but he is definitely at the third order.

"According to my human rules."

The founder of the giant axe smiled, "Everyone who becomes the master of the universe receives a treasure of the value of a top-tier weapon from their race. Hunyuan, what are your requirements?"

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "No need. The clan already agreed that after the demon race redeemed the Heavenly Wolf, they could choose one treasure from the ransom. That's enough."

Under normal circumstances, the value of a cosmic master is not necessarily higher than that of a supreme treasure.

However, the Lord of Sirius is a special case. According to the Chaos City Lord and others, they can at least swindle several top-tier treasures of extremely high quality from the demon race.

"Rules are rules, and we can't withhold them just because you don't lack treasures."

"In that case, I'll just give you 500 Treasure Points. Most top-tier treasures are worth about that much."

The founder of the giant axe made a swift and decisive decision, and then moved on to the second matter.

"The news that Hunyuan possesses the strength of a universe master is now kept very secret. According to Hunyuan's wishes, we can gain sufficient benefits from it."

As the founder of the giant axe finished speaking, many cosmic lords looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This... Giant Axe, our peak races have also made an agreement that beings at the level of the Lord of the Universe cannot easily get involved in race conflicts, otherwise it means launching a race decisive war."

The one who spoke was Lord Lanzang, who belonged to the Giant Axe Arena and whose strength was barely on the verge of becoming a fourth-tier Universe Lord.

The human race currently has 19 beings at the level of Universe Lords, including three fifth-order Universe Lords, nine fourth-order Universe Lords, and the rest are third-order Universe Lords.

The weakest among them is probably Lord Youhou, who is a standard third-order universe lord, while the others are all close to the fourth order.

It must be said that the human race has a very deep foundation.

Although the number of powerful individuals is not very large, their quality is very high. Even the powerful individuals of the demon race, which is known as the number one race in the universe, cannot compare with the human race.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and said, "Lan Cang, Shen Mu is nominally just a newly promoted Universe Venerable, but in reality he is also an Immortal."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of many universe lords became unusually strange.

They all overlooked the fact that Shen Mu was merely an immortal being.

Who among the immortals could suppress the Lord of the Universe? Is that reasonable?

Shen Mu then said, "Everyone, rest assured, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will at most display the strength of a second-tier universe master in the short term."

If it's only at the second-tier level, then it's understandable.

The most powerful top-tier cosmic overlords in the universe, if they could obtain a suitable supreme weapon, could rival ordinary cosmic lords.

The founder of the giant axe slowly spoke, "Next, we need to discuss how to attract the cosmic venerables from other races."

"To attract a cosmic venerable one, a high-grade treasure should be sufficient."

"Indeed, if it were a top-tier treasure, it would likely attract numerous beings at the level of universe lords."

Even ordinary supreme treasures are beneath the notice of universe lords, and most universe overlords already possess several supreme treasures.

As for top overlords and newly arrived cosmic rulers, high-level treasures are standard equipment. If they come from a top-tier power, it wouldn't be surprising if they even possess top-tier treasures.

As the many cosmic lords were discussing, the Lord of Qingdong suddenly spoke up: "Gentlemen, how many epochs ago was the last time the Primordial Star appeared?"

Upon hearing this, many universe lords were slightly taken aback.

The Primordial Star only opens once every hundreds of millions of epochs, which is a very long period of time.

The human race's cosmic rulers, apart from the youngest, Lord Youhou, have all experienced dozens or even hundreds of primordial star openings.

Beings like the Lord of Dragons have existed for almost as long as human history, having experienced tens of thousands of primordial star openings.

"It's been almost a hundred million epochs, which is only a few tens of thousands of years ago, right?" a cosmic lord asked uncertainly.

Fortunately, the virtual universe system has records, and there are less than 10 epochs left until the next opening of the primordial star.

10 years is a very short period of time, even for immortals.

"In that case, how about we place the plan to attract alien cosmic venerables on the original planet?"

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "I'm fine."

During this period, Shen Mu's strength increased dramatically, and he took advantage of this time to digest his insights and instantly broke through to the Universe Venerable level.

As for whether he can break through to become the Lord of the Universe, that's hard to say.

With good luck, you can break through at any time; with bad luck, even if you achieve perfection in the Path of the Beast God, it won't work.

In the original work, Luo Feng had already comprehended the laws of fusion and the heart of the beast god, and his will was at the level of a true god. Moreover, he had obtained the inheritance of an ancient civilization. He was still stuck for tens of thousands of epochs before being touched and achieving enlightenment in one day.

Moreover, Shen Mu still has one thing to resolve.

That means finding a reason to ask Master Zuoshanke for guidance on the path to breaking through to the true god.

Although Shen Mu also has a clone in the Nether Sea, his efficiency in burying himself in research is still too low.

There are three levels to break through to true godhood through the path of divine power.

The first level is 3 to 6 times the size of life genes.

The second level is when the life gene is 6 to 9 times stronger.

Only when the level of life's genes exceeds 9 times can it be considered the third level.

If measured by the gene multiplier in the original universe, it seems that a 100,000-fold gene multiplier is only 10 times stronger than a 10,000-fold gene multiplier.

But in reality, the difference is huge.

A first-tier divine body with 30,000 times the genetic potential has a total divine power that is thousands of times greater than that of an ordinary true god with 10,000 times the genetic potential, and the power of that divine power will also undergo a qualitative change.

There are three levels, and each level represents a significant gap.

The third level, in particular, is almost truly called infinite divine power.

Above these three levels, there is the legendary 10 times perfection, which possesses boundless divine power.

After the meeting, the many universe lords held a three-day banquet in the virtual universe to welcome Shen Mu as the 19th universe lord-level being of the human race.

……

The Milky Way, Earth.

On the street, Shen Mu and Tang Yongqing were enjoying cold drinks, looking relaxed and at ease.

"We must obtain guidance on the divine power path, otherwise the size of the Nether Sea clone will not be able to expand."

The Dark Sea clone is not as advanced as the World Tree in terms of genetic evolution.

The World Tree clones have unique characteristics. Shen Mu can learn from those immortal-level World Trees and use resources to make up for the deficiencies in the origin of life, thereby completing genetic enhancement.

However, the genes of the Nether Sea clone cannot be improved unless Shen Mu is given a set of Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.

The lack of genetic depth also limits the size of the Netherworld Avatar's divine body.

The diameter of an Immortal-level Nether Sea is at most a little over 1000 billion kilometers. Although this size is also exaggerated, it is far from comparable to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

If the size of Shen Mu's clone in the Nether Sea could reach the Light Age, he could make the clone appear openly in the cosmic sky, creating its own forbidden zone.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Mu channeled a wisp of divine power into the communication stone tablet of Master Zuoshanke.

"Teacher, do you have any other powerful secret techniques similar to the Nine Tribulations Manual that can cause the evolution of acquired genes?"

A moment later, Shen Mu received a reply from the Mountain Guest.

"This kind of secret technique is restricted by the rules of the universe. Although I can create it, I cannot teach it to you because you cannot remember it unless you can find a brand new Celestial Crystal Tablet."

Shen Mu was naturally aware of this situation, but that wasn't his original purpose.

"Does the teacher have any other methods to induce genetic evolution?"

"Yes, we study the genetic architecture of powerful life forms and then modify the genetic architecture of our own life forms, thereby allowing our own genes to evolve."

A smile appeared on Shen Mu's face; his goal had been achieved.

"Please guide me, teacher, on how to make my genes evolve!" Shen Mu quickly sent a message.

"There are no shortcuts to evolving one's own genes. The only way is to study the genes of powerful life forms. As long as there are enough genetic materials from powerful life forms to study, there is hope for a breakthrough."

Finally, the Mountain Dweller sent another message, saying, "Come to my miniature universe first."

This time, Shen Mu plans to have the Yan God Clan clone stay on Earth, while his main body goes to the small universe of the Mountain Guest.

After all, among his many clones, the Earthling main body and the Azure Dragon clone had the lowest genetic level, and naturally, they were also the ones that achieved the highest breakthrough.

……

The connection between the small universe and the primordial universe of the Mountain Dweller is located in the Star Tower area.

Shen Mu was quite familiar with the place this time. As soon as he entered the miniature universe, he saw a divine power clone of the Mountain Guest.

"teacher!"

Shen Mu quickly bowed in greeting.

The man sitting on the mountain nodded slightly and said, "Follow me."

Then, the mountain dweller waved his hand, and a hazy, colorful vortex appeared.

Shen Mu followed the figure of the mountain dweller and entered the colorful passage.

This is a strange palace.

The corpses of powerful individuals and numerous specimens were scattered about. When these specimens were combined, they formed incredibly complex patterns.

Among those corpses were energy-based life forms, flesh-and-blood life forms, plant-based life forms... all kinds of life forms, forming countless three-dimensional secret patterns.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest pointed to the corpse specimens floating in the endless void and exclaimed, "These corpses and specimens are genetic materials of various powerful life forms, the foundation I've collected over the years in the desolate wilderness of the cosmic sea!"

"By studying these genes and secret patterns, and modifying one's own genetic structure, it is possible to achieve natural evolution of one's genes."

"Speak," the Mountain Guest continued, "Back when I guided and transformed the Yan God Clan, their genes were particularly prone to undergoing acquired evolution, which is your advantage."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of regret appeared on the face of the man sitting on the mountain.

"Perhaps due to the limitations of the rules, the Yan God Clan, which possesses powerful evolutionary talent, has significant flaws in personality and comprehension."

Fortunately, you are an exception.

"With the soul of an Earthling combined with the genes of the Flame God Clan, your future is infinitely bright; a mere ten thousand times the genetic potential is by no means your limit."

At this point, the mountain dweller looked at Shen Mu with eager anticipation and expectation.

"I once received guidance from an ancient civilization in the cosmic sea and know some secrets that others do not know."

"For example, this so-called perfect gene is not truly perfect. Once the 10081-fold genetic limit is broken, then..."

As he spoke, the Mountain Guest explained to Shen Mu the two main paths to breaking through to the True God realm: the Divine Power path and the Law path.

Merely breaking through to the level of a true god does not constitute violating the operating rules of the original universe.

Although Shen Mu already knew, he still pretended to be listening attentively, matching the shocked expression on the face of the mountain dweller.

"With these secret runes and gene samples, your main body and other clones can easily reach the level of ten thousand times the gene, but whether you can break through ten thousand times depends on your fate."

Brothers, who is the senior brother between the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Ice Peak? The encyclopedia says that the Lord of Ice Peak is the third, but it can't be found in the original work.
