Chapter 405: The Fallen Nest Evolves Again
Wei Huan suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Zhong with a puzzled and inquiring look in his eyes, but he soon realized that these hallucinations were not caused by Mu Zhong, but came from a more powerful force that he could not resist.
Mu Zhong couldn't wait for the next move, so he opened his eyes in confusion and was captured by Wei Huan's gaze.
There was no desire in his dark eyes, only cold divinity. At this moment, he seemed to be wrapped in a layer of luxurious black veil, sitting high on the throne. His boundless and huge body crossed the longitude and latitude, looking down at everything in the world indifferently from the end of the universe.
Fortunately, before Mu Zhong could feel any more biting cold, the statue on the throne was broken, and a hand broke through the painting and pulled him out.
When he came to his senses, he saw Wei Huan's eyes that had regained their warmth.
"You..." Mu Zhong wanted to say something, but Wei Huan hugged him tightly, "Okay, don't be afraid, everything will be fine." He comforted him in his ear like coaxing a child.
Mu Zhong was amused: "What's wrong? I'm fine, very good." Even though he personally felt the indifference of Wei Huan's divinity, he did not feel any fear. Instead, he admired the greatness of the god, and was secretly happy about such an existence, but deeply loved him.
Wei Huan saw that Mu Zhong was really fine, so he said, "I saw that red cocoon again."
Mu Zhong instantly dropped the smile on his face: "It appeared again? Do you know what it is?"
"I have a guess."
"What is it?"
"Genetic imprint."
"Genetic imprint?" Mu Zhong repeated in confusion.
Wei Huan explained, "It can also be described as bloodline inheritance, the revival of ancient genes, or the flashback of embedded memories."
Mu Zhong understood. Considering what Wei Huan had been doing recently, he said, "So the images you saw came from the Ancient God energy you were absorbing, right? Not only did you gain Ancient God energy, but in the process, your Ancient God cells were also forced to embed memories that didn't belong to you."
Wei Huan nodded, then shook his head, and said uncertainly, "That's not a memory, but something deeper."
Mu Zhong said, "Well, I concluded it wrong in the end. Just like you said, it's a genetic imprint that existed in an earlier period, just like when humans were still single-celled organisms, and the ancient gods evolved at the beginning of chaos, right?"
"Yes." Wei Huan nodded. "That blood-red flesh cocoon might be a picture of the ancient god's remains before they were born."
"Then there's nothing to worry about?" Mu Zhong asked uncertainly.
Wei Huan was not sure either. This was the second time. There might be a third and fourth time until he received a more complete genetic imprint. No one knew what would happen then.
It's a pity that he had no choice.
Wei Huan said: "As I continue to absorb the energy of the ancient gods, I can feel the restraint of the external space is weakening. To leave here, we must continue."
He had so many reasons to leave here in the first place, and one more was added recently.
Mu Zhong might be about to condense his godhood, but it was impossible for him to condense his godhood in his own body. The laws did not allow it, so he had to become a god outside.
But unfortunately, this is the core of the ancient god's corpse, and all things are gone here, so they must leave.
If it weren't for the ancient divine body, Wei Huandan would just be here as the God of Death. He would definitely die here because of the exhaustion of divine power.
This also explains why the God of the Underworld, as a middle-level god, also died here.
Even the Lord of Flesh and Blood cannot catch up.
This is Wei Huan's blessed land for cultivation, a natural barrier. It would be even better if there were no impenetrable "genetic imprint".
Although Wei Huan thought so, after returning to the edge of the ancient god world in his body, he was still a hardworking "little bee" like every day before, constantly transporting the absorbed and satiated ancient god cells to the parts that needed strengthening, and then transporting new ancient god cells to hang on the transparent mycelium.
Whether the genetic imprint is good or bad is a matter for the future. Right now, the only way is to become stronger and leave here.
With Wei Huan's unremitting efforts, even the transparent mycelium full of energy was absorbed by him and gradually withered.
One by one, the transparent hyphae broke off from his body and curled back, and the space Wei Huan could move in became larger and larger.
In order to gain more space, Wei Huan even took the initiative to meet the transparent mycelium and continue to plunder energy.
Not surprisingly, after a while, Wei Huan saw the scarlet cocoon again. This time, he almost touched it and felt the power transmitted from the cocoon very realistically.
He looked at the divine patterns that appeared before his eyes one after another, and found that these divine patterns were actually like the cells of ancient gods. It was because they condensed together that they finally took on the appearance of meat cocoons.
Wei Huan thus got a glimpse of the secret of the Dacheng ancient divine body.
The tempering of the ancient god cells is far from over. The next step is to cultivate such divine patterns from these seemingly saturated ancient god cells, so that their mass can be increased several times or dozens of times, until Wei Huan can destroy a mountain with just a drop of blood.
But when Wei Huan wanted to take a closer look at the divine patterns, he found that not only could he not see anything clearly, he also woke up from the illusion.
For a moment, the desire to become stronger and the curiosity to find the truth suppressed all fear.
Wei Huan wanted to see the scarlet flesh cocoon again and stay there longer.
So, is the prerequisite for awakening the genetic imprint to absorb more ancient god energy left by the ancient god's skeleton?
According to these three experiences, the corresponding ratio is made. About every 10% absorption can awaken the genetic imprint once, and the next time should be around 40%, and the time is about three years.
Time flies, and another three years have passed.
As expected, Wei Huan was dragged into the illusion again, and saw the long-awaited scarlet flesh cocoon from the genetic imprint.
The feedback obtained from active acceptance and passive acceptance is completely different. As he saw it more clearly this time, Wei Huan concentrated all his attention and finally succeeded in memorizing the next divine pattern in his mind.
It was a hieroglyphic character that resembled a mountain, and was even very similar to the ancient hieroglyphics of Daxia. However, this was only superficial. Remembering this divine pattern was not as simple as just remembering the shape of the characters.
Wei Huan looked into the depths of the "mountain" and saw all kinds of mountains, including emerald green mountains, withered yellow mines, active volcanoes, and mountains under the sea... It seemed as if he saw endless mountains in an instant, and the mountains and hills were finally stacked together layer by layer to form the word "mountain".
Even with Wei Huan's powerful soul, when he saw the billions of mountains clearly in an instant, he felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Wei Huan managed not to faint. He seized the opportunity and the moment he emerged from the illusion, he sat down cross-legged and carefully felt the power of the divine pattern.
Time passes by unknowingly.
In the ancient god world inside Wei Huan's body, the ancient god cells around his consciousness clone gradually glowed with different colors as Wei Huan's cultivation progressed. The word "mountain" that seemed to be there and not there appeared on the ancient god cells. Even though it was only a vague existence, it made the ancient god cells extremely different.
It was as if flesh finally grew from the inside of an empty bubble, becoming more real and substantial.
Wei Huan suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, and he stood up from his cross-legged sitting position. Black light flickered in his hands, and the foul energy condensed in his hands into a more solid and thicker corrupted spear.
Although he has focused more on the cultivation of the ancient divine body in recent years, his understanding of the laws has also made considerable progress through his own evolution and Mu Zhong's "feeding".
This corrupted spear already has a hint of the breath of the source law.
Wei Huan gripped the corrupted spear tightly, and the ancient god cells in his body started to work. Then he condensed his most powerful strength and took a step forward!
The corrupted spear flew out of his hand, turned into a black light, and disappeared before his eyes.
Wherever it passed, space collapsed, time was driven away, and only nothingness existed.
Then a torn space crack appeared before his eyes.
Done!
The Silent Passage appears again!
Wei Huan felt the terrifying power erupting from his body. It took him 22 years from being restricted by the ancient god's corpse to being able to move again.
Of course, this is his and Mu Zhong's perception of time. They don't know how much time has passed in the real world.
If he hadn't mastered the "mountain" divine pattern, even if it was just a little bit of the superficial furnishings, he would have been much stronger than before. Otherwise, it would have taken him a long time just to absorb the ancient god's energy from the corpse.
I have to leave now.
Wei Huan jumped into the silent passage without hesitation, only looking back at the silent space at the last moment.
He will come back sooner or later, and next time he will practice here for a longer time and take away all the opportunities here!
The speed in the Silent Channel was extremely fast, and one didn't know how far he had traveled in an instant. Wei Huan tried to use the Silent Channel skillfully, and even tried to light the divine fire to observe everything outside the Silent Channel.
He had some insights, but they didn't seem to reach the core. Feeling that he had stayed there for too long, Wei Huan had no choice but to stop.
He used the same method as before, continuously jumping into slower and slower channels of silence, until he reached a speed that his body could withstand, and finally broke through the air.
“Wow!”
The familiar aura of the origin of the law swarmed in, and Wei Huan was surrounded. He took a deep breath, and like a dry sponge, he madly absorbed the power of the law.
The Filthy Continent in his sea of soul was like an alchemy stone touched by the finger of God, undergoing earth-shaking changes.
The Yellow Springs turned into a rushing river, spreading across the Filthy Land. The Filthy Land was nourished by the Yellow Springs and exuded vitality.
The filthy earth in the center of him devoured and absorbed the water of the Yellow Spring with great enthusiasm, quickly becoming fertile and even emitting a faint yellow light.
This has been upgraded to level nine.
His dirty world finally reached level nine!
The souls sleeping under the soil are like thriving seeds, emitting powerful power.
They will follow the level of the Impure World and quickly upgrade to ninth-level Impure World Undead.
At the same time, this yellow color that was moisturized to the extreme was still spreading slowly, and it did not stop until it spread to half of his filthy land.
It won’t be long before Wei Huan will have 5 to 6 billion ninth-level filthy undead souls, which is more than the number of dead undead souls he needed to become a god.
After all, the filthy land is a middle-level law, while the death energy is a lower-level law, so there must be a huge difference between them.
Wei Huan's spiritual consciousness expanded, radiating thousands of miles. After ensuring the safety of the surrounding area, he recruited the leading undead to protect him.
Then he stepped onto Dianma's back and used facehuggers to weave a comfortable throne.
However, this time Wei Huan did not sit on it directly. Instead, he raised his hand and waved it, and Mu Zhong was brought into the world.
"Are you out?" Mu Zhong was not surprised to be summoned. In fact, along the way, Wei Huan had opened a world barrier to let him watch. He knew very well what efforts Wei Huan had made to get out.
"Yi~~!" Unexpectedly, Dianma reacted earlier. It made a soft humming sound and greeted Mu Zhong.
With Dianma's intelligence, she could tell how important Mu Zhong's identity was. It was like she was saying, "Long time no see."
Mu Zhong smiled: "Hello, Dian Ma, long time no see."
"Hey~" Dianma danced its tentacles happily, and then several ground beasts with the queen's bloodline, and the last face hugger covered in black, flew out and surrounded Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong greeted them one by one: "Hello, dog, hello, grandchildren, hello, great-grandchildren, hello." Finally, he looked at the black facehugger and said, "Hello, black bomb."
"Babble babble babble~"
The queen's bloodlines responded with sounds, especially Gouzi, who was naturally cheerful and was the most familiar with Mu Zhong. He swayed his head and danced in front of Mu Zhong, his white tentacles flowing like sleeves.
Black Bomb hid in the back, looking very cool. Mu Zhong noticed it and waved to it. Its small claws frantically rubbed against its carapace and twisted its buttocks twice. In fact, it was just a little socially anxious.
While Mu Zhong was meeting Dian Ma's family, Wei Huan tried to contact Xu Qingqiang through divine means.
The distance was too far, and they were not in the same space, so he could not contact him. However, what made Wei Huan feel at ease was that he could sense that Xu Qingqiang was still alive.
Their communication method comes from the Titans. As the legendary clan of the creator gods, although there are not many Titans alive in the world due to their weak bloodline and the tribe's combat effectiveness is also declining, their tribe has a large number of spells that even gods can use.
This method of communication extracts the soul of each other, and a drop of soul blood is tempered by secret methods. It can allow the souls of two people to communicate when the distance is close, and can also locate each other when the distance is far. The most important thing is that no matter where they are, even if they are separated by thousands of worlds, they can determine the life or death of the other party.
Even in the empty space within the ancient god's body, Wei Huan could vaguely sense that Xu Qingqiang was still alive. Now that he had emerged and returned to the divine realm, he could activate his soul and blood to locate Xu Qingqiang. As long as he kept searching, no matter how vast the divine realm was, they would be reunited.
After Mu Zhong finished his greetings with Dianma and the family, Wei Huan asked him to go to the throne and said, "Next, I will go find Xu Qingqiang. You will complete the final law in the outside world. I will set up a barrier. No matter what happens, don't be distracted."
Mu nodded: "Don't worry, I won't stop practicing unless it's absolutely necessary. If I become a god, you will be able to get a great help. I know the importance of it."
Wei Huan smiled and waved his arm to drop a layer of protective shield, plus the protective shield deployed by the dog specially arranged to guard him, and finally the protective shield put on the outermost layer by Dian Ma, a total of three layers of protection. As long as there is no major accident, it will not affect Mu Zhong's practice.
"Let's go."
Wei Huan sat down in front of Dian Ma's back shell, figured out the direction, and said this to Dian Ma.
"Hey~"
Although Dianma has its own consciousness, it is essentially a "core skill" of Wei Huan. With just a thought, it waves its tentacles and easily splits a space crack and drills into it.
During the years that Wei Huan was trapped in the Silent Space, Dian Ma also continued to practice. Wei Huan gave it the ancient god crystal to absorb and practice, and now it is much stronger than before.
Unable to concentrate on cultivation on the journey, Wei Huan could only sort out and consolidate what he had gained during this period. He also had to repair some parts that he had temporarily put aside and had not had time to cultivate due to serious problems.
For example, the Fallen Queen, because the Fallen Nest was restricted by the world within the world, she could not advance to the highest level of the ninth order. However, after Wei Huan entered the divine realm, he was ambushed and later fell into a desperate situation, which resulted in him having no time to improve this aspect.
Although Wei Huan now has an ancient divine body and has made considerable progress in the intermediate laws of the Filthy Land and the intermediate laws of the Yellow Springs, the Zerg's combat effectiveness will no longer be his main means.
However, Wei Huan believes that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. The strength of the combat effectiveness certainly depends on the upper limit, but the lower limit is equally important.
The Zerg cultivation potential is still very large. After upgrading one level to the god level, the Fallen Mother Nest can not only breed 100 level nine Zergs every day, but can also directly breed 3 god-level Zergs. The strength of this level of Zerg is definitely worse than the god-level leader carefully cultivated by Wei Huan, but the advantage is that there are enough of them, and they can be useful cannon fodder when necessary.
Another point is that the Fallen Queen can cultivate the Ancient God Body on her own. The Ancient God Crystals she absorbed have been acting on her abdomen so far. This makes Wei Huan very much looking forward to the next generation of the Queen. Will there be any improvement?
Since I have to protect Mu Zhong and cannot practice now, and the journey is long and I don’t know how long it will take, it is a good time to check for any shortcomings and fill them.
Wei Huan was multitasking, controlling all the undead leaders, continuing to cultivate the ancient god body, and also paying more attention to the Fallen Nest.
Wei Huan placed the Fallen Mother Nest in the central area of the Filthy Continent. The land here now emits a faint golden light and is extremely fertile. Countless undead souls are sleeping underground and are slowly advancing to the ninth level. The Yellow Spring flows through this land.
The Fallen Hive has produced a large number of Zerg over the years. When Wei Huan's eyes fell on it, he found that the hive was deeply rooted in the filthy soil, and there were also a large number of feeding tubes hanging in the underworld.
They used the energy from the Yellow Spring and the Dirty Land to fill their need to eat a large number of Zerg in order to reproduce. And because this was power from the gods, the Zerg bred in the Fallen Hive became much stronger.
Wei Huan's gaze came to the top of the flesh and blood pyramid. He looked down from the thickest breeding cavity and entered the interior of the pyramid. He saw a scene with strict rules, different insect races each taking their place, and everything was in order.
His gaze followed the main passage all the way forward until he came to a spacious chamber like a hall. The Fallen Queen, who was lying in the middle practicing in sleep, suddenly opened her eyes, stood up, spread out her beautiful big wings, and bowed respectfully to Wei Huan.
Because of consuming too many undead transformed from death energy, this Zerg hive and the Zerg queen have completely fallen under Wei Huan's control, and a strong breath of death is emanating from their bodies.
Wei Huan didn't need to communicate with the Fallen Queen, she knew the purpose of Wei Huan's visit this time.
It was a little excited. It was finally time to upgrade the Fallen Nest.
The Fallen Queen carefully retrieved the Ancient God Crystal that had been circling it, spread her wings and flew into the air, making a harsh sound that Wei Huan could not understand.
Following its command, the Fallen Mother Nest began to wriggle as if alive, every piece of flesh was squeezed and changing rapidly.
It seems that the Fallen Queen has been preparing for the upgrade of the mother nest for a long time. Wei Huan hardly felt the loss of energy in his body, but the evolution of this Fallen mother nest was very smooth.
But it took three days of hard work.
Three days passed, and Wei Huan was still traveling in the divine realm.
The divine realm is too vast. Unless one is at the level of a main god and has reached the great perfection of the laws of his system, he can instantly descend to any place in the divine realm. The middle-level and lower-level gods have to rely on their legs to travel.
Especially the lower gods, who can control very few laws, which means that they lack the power to travel by force and move at the slowest speed.
After receiving the news from the Fallen Queen in his mind, his consciousness once again came to the Dirty Continent and looked at the Fallen Mother Nest that had completed its advancement.
It is even larger, and the wrinkled skin and dark color make this fallen hive seem as if it has existed for billions of years. Every breath and rhythm is filled with the feeling of an ancient god.
But a powerful force is surging under the wrinkled skin, strong and alive, as if it can burst out with terrible power at any time, which makes people dare not underestimate it.
The Fallen Queen, who had grown 12 wings, floated in front of the Fallen Nest and guided Wei Huan to see the breeding cavity that made her most excited.
The breeding chamber is located at the top of the pyramid, with 10 scarlet muscle tubes thrown out from it. These are its breeding tubes. Powerful ninth-level Zerg warriors will be born here in the form of eggs.
An average of 100 eggs are laid every day, and it doesn't take long for 100 level nine Zerg warriors to be born after they are sent to the incubator.
Newly born Zerg warriors need to eat a lot of food, and the Yellow Spring and the Dirty Earth are the energy they need.
In addition, at the top of the breeding chamber, there are three elite breeding cabins, in which three insects that are evolving into god-level are sleeping.
It takes about 10 days for them to be born and another 10 days to hatch. Although it takes longer than other Zerg, they can be born as "god-level" and it doesn't matter if it takes a little longer.
These were the changes that Wei Huan predicted at the beginning.
He was now more curious about the parts that he couldn't predict.
His gaze slid down from the Fallen Queen's face to the abdomen of its insect body, where a large amount of the ancient god's essence was condensed.
Even though the Fallen Queen absorbed the Ancient God Crystals very slowly, after these years, it was enough to achieve a qualitative change.
But until now, he couldn't imagine what the Fallen Queen was going to do?
Just when Wei Huan was confused, perhaps his thoughts influenced the Fallen Queen, and the Fallen Queen suddenly made a request to Wei Huan.
It wants to eat the Fallen Nest.
Wei Huan asked, "Is it for a higher level of evolution?"
The Fallen Queen gave a definite response.
Wei Huan asked again: "How long will it take?"
The Fallen Queen said that the time of evolution is unknown and the final result is also unknown, but it will definitely be stronger than the current Fallen Nest.
Wei Huan almost didn't hesitate: "Okay."
He agreed to the Fallen Queen's request. After all, the Zerg was not his main means of combat, and even if the Zerg was upgraded to the top level, it would be useless to him.
His enemies are no longer opponents of the same level. In the future, he is destined to fight against the middle-level gods or the main gods. No matter how many insect swarms of the current level he releases, they will all be food. It would be better to try to evolve them again.
The Fallen Queen received permission and happily flew an "8" shape in the air. Then she turned around and took a deep breath in the direction of the mother nest.
