Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 205 Breaking the Bottleneck of Perfect Genes: The Terrifying Genetic Potential of the Yan God Clan

Hundreds of universe lords celebrated with each other, and more and more universe lords continued to enter the virtual universe to attend the banquet.

Such a grand event is extremely rare in the entire history of the primordial universe.

At the very top of the temple, all the true gods of the Hong Alliance gathered. Except for Zuo Shan Ke, all the true gods of the entire primordial universe had arrived.

At the head of the table, Shen Mu downed his drink in one gulp and looked at the Lord of Chaos City, saying, "Chaos, the period of rapid increase in cultivation level during the chaotic evolution of a small universe is when your cultivation level rises the fastest. How strong are you now?"

As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, all the True Gods present turned their curious gazes to the Lord of Chaos City.

They were also very curious about the current strength of this Chaos City Lord, who was once regarded as the number one person below the true god.

"Haha, the gains from this chaotic evolution are indeed enormous. I must thank you for your reminder, Giant Axe, and for the ancient guidance given by Shen Mu."

The Creator of Chaos was clearly in a good mood, saying, "I can now create top-tier seventh-order secret techniques with ease."

"However, my insights have not yet been fully transformed into strength. After a period of reflection, creating an eighth-order secret technique will not be a problem."

It's common for one's understanding of a higher realm to not translate into actual strength, especially when one is weak.

As soon as the Chaos City Lord finished speaking, many True Gods around him showed expressions of envy.

Generally speaking, most newly promoted True Gods are at the peak of the sixth or seventh rank, with very few reaching the peak of the seventh rank. Those who directly achieve the eighth rank, like the Chaos City Lord, are extremely rare even in the cosmic sea.

The founder of the Giant Axe was only at the same level as the Lord of Chaos City when he first broke through.

Of course, the founder of the giant axe did not have ancient guidance at the time, so the fact that he was able to do this proves that his talent far surpasses that of the Lord of Chaos.

Leaving aside Shen Mu and Luo Feng, as well as the special case of Zuo Shan Ke, the reincarnation of a god-king.

Among all the powerful beings in the entire universe, the one with the highest talent is the Primordial Ancestor, followed by the Giant Axe.

He is the only one besides the Primordial Ancestor who created an eighth-order top-tier secret technique in less than one cycle of reincarnation.

Even without ancient guidance, after the founder of the giant axe has passed through the three great cycles of reincarnation, there is a great chance that he will cultivate to the limit of a true god.

As for whether it's possible to create a tenth-order secret technique, it's really hard to say, because it's extremely difficult.

"It seems that it won't be long before Chaos becomes a ninth-order true god." The Giant Axe Founder laughed heartily.

Generally speaking, an eighth-order True God can possess the combat power of a ninth-order or even a top-tier ninth-order by relying on the most powerful treasures.

Humanity today has no shortage of supreme treasures, especially those of the domain type; it wouldn't be a problem for any true god to have one.

Congratulations to the creator of Chaos!

"Congratulations to the True God of Chaos!"

Several former lone true gods raised their glasses to celebrate the Lord of Chaos City, while true gods from the Zerg, Machine Race, and other races also joined in the celebration with mixed feelings.

It's no wonder they had mixed feelings; the little guy they once knew had now completely surpassed them in strength.

Creating an eighth-order secret technique is something that, throughout the entire Third Reincarnation Era, only Shen Mu, Giant Axe, and the mysterious Mountain-Sitting Guest, along with the Chaos City Lord, have accomplished.

After a hearty feast, Shen Mu said, "Chaos, you no longer need to deal with the trivial matters of the Primordial Universe. You can leave them to the other universe lords of your race."

"However, we'll still need your help with the expansion of the Cosmic Sea Alliance."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded solemnly and said, "Alright, leave it to me."

"For those true gods who wish to join, our Hong Alliance welcomes all, but there are three people we need to be careful about."

Shen Mu changed the subject: "Zhenjia King, Haolei Star Lord, and Qiuyan Ancestral God are problematic. The Primal Universe Will has ordered me to kill the three of them."

These words startled many true gods.

The will of the primordial universe rarely issues orders to kill a particular life form.

Unless this person threatens the rules governing the universe, like the Lord of Yuan'ao in the past.

The Chaos City Lord hurriedly asked, "These three people... is there something wrong with them?"

Shen Mu did not hide anything: "That's right, these three intend to overturn the cosmic sea and destroy countless living beings."

"what?"

"Just the three of them?"

"They have that capability!?"

Many true gods showed disdain on their faces. Although these three were all top-tier eighth-order cultivators, and even not much weaker than the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord back then.

But they are not the first order of the Cosmic Sea after all. To want to reach the peak of the Cosmic Sea seems like a pipe dream.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "The three of them naturally don't have this ability, but their master does."

"The cosmic sea should remain calm for another trillion epochs. This crisis could even destroy the primordial universe. You must not be careless."

Upon hearing this, all the true gods present showed expressions of fear.

Even the founder of the giant axe was moved, looking at Shen Mu and asking, "Hunyuan, what exactly is going on?"

"The Beasts of the Realm are about to be born. They have the ability to destroy or collapse all universes, which is a crisis for the entire cosmic sea."

Even a true god's miniature universe is incredibly fragile in the face of a world beast.

As for the primordial universe, although the World Beasts could not completely destroy it, they were enough to cause it to collapse and return to its original state.

The Giant Axe Founder couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you a match for those so-called World Beasts either?"

Shen Mu nodded and then shook his head.

"It depends on the situation. When the World Beast was first born, it was only at the level of an eighth-order True God. Due to its special characteristics, although it is much stronger than an eighth-order True God, it is not impossible to deal with it."

"But if the World Beast grows up, I will not be its match."

"Let alone true gods, even beings at the Void level or Eternity level are no match for the Ultimate World Beast."

The Giant Axe Founder was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked, "Are the Void Level and the Eternal Level the realms after True God?"

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "The difference between the Void Realm and the True God is like the difference between the True God and the Lord of the Universe, or even greater."

"As for beings at the Eternal level, they are at least hundreds of millions of times stronger than True Gods, or even more."

It takes tens of thousands of true gods to fight against a void true god, and tens of thousands of void true gods to fight against an eternal true god.

A simple calculation shows that it's hundreds of millions of times.

Of course, this data is meaningless.

Because the gap has reached this level, unless one relies on an extremely powerful large-scale mechanical treasure, quantity can never compensate for quality.

Upon hearing this, many true gods looked troubled, finding it hard to believe.

How could such a being have been born in the cosmic sea?

"How many cycles of reincarnation do you all think the cosmic ocean has existed?"

Faced with Shen Mu's question, the many true gods looked at each other in bewilderment, and then shook their heads.

No one knows the answer, and no one can provide it.

Not to mention them, even Shen Mu, and even Zuo Shan Ke, who is a reincarnated god-king, do not know how many eras the Cosmic Sea has existed.

Shen Mu looked at everyone and said, "You can't answer this question, and I don't know either, but one thing is certain: there have been at least several thousand reincarnation eras."

"Because the spaceship has existed in the cosmic sea for thousands of reincarnations, but have you ever wondered why, after such a long period of time, the cosmic sea only has two great holy land universes?"

"You should know that the oldest Eastern Emperor Holy Land has been around for less than a thousand reincarnations."

"In the endless expanse of time, if there were no threat of destruction, why are there only two great holy land universes?"

Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, the True Gods began to ponder, growing increasingly terrified with each thought.

Their current behavior is just like the fear that Earthlings felt back then because they couldn't observe other civilizations in the universe.

The Lord of Chaos couldn't help but ask, "The will of the primordial universe wants to kill the three of them because they learned some forbidden information and want to trigger a crisis of destruction?"

"Heh, they're not worthy of triggering a world-ending crisis; they're nothing but lackeys of the World Beasts. Keep this information to yourselves for now."

"Chaos, you only need to keep an eye on these three. Leave the rest to me."

"Yes." The Lord of Chaos City stood up and bowed slightly to Shen Mu.

After the banquet, each of the true gods left with a worried expression, though none of them showed it.

The Lord of Chaos City went straight to the Cosmic Sea to handle the affairs of the Hong Alliance's expansion, and also secretly inquired about the information of King Zhenjia and the other two.

As for the founder of the Giant Axe, he went into seclusion, hoping to create a ninth-order secret technique as soon as possible, at which time he would have the hope of unleashing tenth-order combat power.

Generally speaking, as long as one can create a ninth-order secret technique, one can thoroughly comprehend the seven layers of secret runes of the supreme treasure, unless the supreme treasure in one's possession is far inferior to one's own secret technique.

……

Within the Milky Way galaxy, in the boundless realm of gods.

Shen Mu sat cross-legged on the World Tree, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Breaking through the bottleneck of perfect genes is so difficult. I have achieved perfect genes for tens of thousands of years, yet I still cannot take another step forward."

Shen Mu still sets his expectations too high for himself.

In the original story, Luo Feng wandered the cosmic sea for eight million years. His clones, under accelerated time, studied the genetic structure of life for countless years, yet still failed to break through the bottleneck of perfect genes.

As Shen Mu's thoughts stirred, endless seawater surged within the galactic black hole.

A mass of seawater with a diameter of 10 billion kilometers completed genetic recombination, and its fluctuations spread out, far exceeding those of the universe's master by tens of thousands of times.

Then it suddenly collapsed, and terrifying energy fluctuations were released, but they were contained by the boundless ocean with a diameter of twelve light-years, and no sound was transmitted to the outside world.

Not only the Dark Sea clone, but also the World Tree clone is studying the structure of life genes, repeatedly reorganizing its own genetic framework.

Both of these clones are infinitely large, and even if they waste some of their divine power, they can recover instantly.

"We must break through the bottleneck of perfect genes as soon as possible, and strive to achieve the realm of true god with a perfect gene level of 100,000 times before the world beasts appear in the cosmic sea."

With a thought, Shen Mu simultaneously began to study life genes and attempt gene recombination among his five main bodies.

"Hmm? It's done?"

At this moment, within the Ancestral God Sect, in the Hunyuan Secret Realm.

The aura of the Yan God Clan avatar, who was stationed in the Hunyuan Secret Realm, began to change.

A new divine power was born, a power even stronger than before, whose oppressive force broke through the limits of the universe's master genes by ten thousand times.

"This architecture... has already been tested on the Youhai clone, and it collapsed extremely quickly."

"But the avatar of the Flame God Clan did not collapse."

"I see... I see!"

A look of understanding appeared in Shen Mu's eyes. No wonder the Mountain Guest said that the Yan God Clan had extremely high genetic potential and even had the hope of achieving the third stage of the divine power path.

The fundamental reason is that the genes of the Yan God Clan are the masterpiece of this Treasure Refining God King!

It could even be said that the Yan God Clan's clones are a kind of alternative 'primordial embryo'!

Therefore, the gene compatibility of the Yan God Clan is terrifyingly high. The life gene structure, which is extremely unstable in other divine bodies, is very stable in the Yan God Clan.

As Shen Mu pondered, the aura fluctuations of the Yan God Clan clone completely stabilized.

Shen Mu sensed it slightly and roughly determined that the genetic level of the Yan God Clan clone was about 1.2 times.

As the quality of divine power improved, the divine body of the Flame God Clan clone became more condensed, so the divine power of the Flame God Clan clone was only about 80% of its maximum potential.

After the Yan Shen Clan clone broke through the bottleneck of perfect genes, Shen Mu felt an invisible shackle completely collapse.

If Shen Mu were willing, he could break through to the True God realm right now.

"The changes in divine power intensity are basically consistent with the increase in the number of gene layers."

"The strength of the divine power has not undergone a qualitative change; it is still about 1.2 times that of before."

The path to divine power has three stages, but Shen Mu hasn't even reached the first stage yet.

Only when the level of life genes evolves to 30,000 times and divine power undergoes its first qualitative change can it be considered the first stage of the divine power path.

After reaching 30,000 times, the divine power will be sublimated once, and the size of the divine body will also increase tenfold in all aspects!

After reaching 60,000 times, the divine power will be sublimated again, and the size of the divine body will increase by a full thousand times!

Possessing a divine body of this level is enough to prove that one's overall talent and comprehension are exceptional, making the attainment of eternal true god a certainty.

If the level of life genes evolves to 90,000 times, that is the so-called infinite divine body. Without external pressure, the divine body can grow infinitely.

Starting from 90,000 times, the changes at the genetic level primarily enhance the strength of divine power.

Above that is the legendary 100,000-fold Great Perfection, which is just a legend on the Origin Continent. No one knows whether the Perfection is actually 100,000 times; it is only speculated to be 100,000 times.

"Let's try a higher level of life structure and see just how high the genetic potential of the Flame God Clan avatar really is."

"Godly body, disperse!"

"Gene recombination!"

As soon as Shen Mu had a thought, the form of the Yan God Clan clone collapsed and turned into endless divine power.

One of the wisps of divine power began to change its fundamental structure. Countless complex secret patterns intertwined, and secret patterns like billions of three-dimensional universes merged, eventually constructing a completely new life gene architecture.

If such a life gene structure were placed on the Nether Sea Avatar, it would definitely collapse immediately, as it is extremely unstable.

Boom!

A violent aura emanated from it, but that wisp of divine power actually stabilized and then began to frantically assimilate other divine powers.

In just a moment, the Flame God Clan clone, whose divine body had shrunk to a smaller size, re-formed.

An ancient, primal surge of divine power swept outwards, and the aura of the Flame God Clan avatar became even more formidable than before!

"At a genetic level 2.4 times higher, such a crude genetic structure, yet it didn't collapse!"

"That's...unbelievable!"

"Try again!"

Of course, the so-called crude genetic structure is just Shen Mu's perception of it.

Compared to the genetic structure of ordinary universe masters, which is ten thousand times more complex, Shen Mu's genetic structure is infinitely exquisite, seemingly perfect beyond compare.

Shen Mu continued to attempt to recombine the patterns, with more and more secret runes intertwining, without seriously trying to understand their mysteries.

It involves using the secret rune patterns from the school of thought that originally comprehended the secret techniques, piecing together countless profound secret rune patterns like building blocks.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion erupted from the right arm of the Flame God Clan clone, indicating that the attempt had failed.

"It seems that this is the limit at this stage. If we want to go further, we can only continue to study the genetic structure of life."

It's good enough, though. It works even with such a rough architecture, so it just needs to be refined in the future.

At least for Shen Mu, achieving the first stage of the path to divine power will not be too difficult; he only needs a period of time to settle down.

"With the support of both the Flame God Clan and the Nether Sea avatars, achieving a 100,000-fold genetic bonus is a hundred times easier, or even more, than relying solely on the Nether Sea avatar!"
