Swallowed Star: The Zerg Overlord

Chapter 99: The Arrival of the Golden Horned Beast

After laying out the situation with Hong, Lei Shen, and Jia Yi at the Mars steel base, the three of them gained a clearer understanding of the universe and the uniqueness of Earth.

After exploring the steel city for a while and eliminating the dangers, the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship had already transported numerous scientific research talents in machinery, energy, and other fields from Earth to the Mars base.

Without mentioning the excitement of those researchers, Qin Mu returned to the spaceship, sent Hong, Lei Shen, and the others back to Earth, and then spent a few days deploying mother nests on various planets and asteroid belts in the solar system.

For the mother nests, once they reach the planetary level, surviving in space is a simple matter. The various units hatched are mainly worker Zergs, searching for minerals and resources on different planets.

At the same time, the Zerg swarm spread across various planets, collecting energy and transforming the environment to make it suitable for Zerg survival.

Returning to Earth, it was already the end of July. After temporarily lending the spaceship to the United Government, Qin Mu resumed his cultivation life.

Among the three secret techniques he chose, "Heart of the Swarm" had already been mastered. Qin Mu tried to cultivate "Space Mastery" for a while but found it impossible to get started, so he focused on "Primordial Zerg Canon."

"Primordial Zerg Canon" is the oldest and most fundamental of the many Zerg modulation techniques, but it is not simple. On the contrary, it is an extremely vast and complex technique, encompassing a wide range of knowledge.

It contains specific methods but more importantly, it provides a way of thinking and a rigorous research approach.

From the beginning, Qin Mu was engrossed in the knowledge, which was exactly what he had been pursuing.

With the foundation of his previous research, Qin Mu's gene research level skyrocketed at an astonishing speed.

"So that's how it is!" A glimmer of light appeared in Qin Mu's previously confused eyes.

He had previously gathered the top talents from across the country to research gene evolution potions and had achieved some results.

In terms of enhancing genes and bloodlines, Qin Mu's approach was to study the offspring of strong individuals, combining their excellent genes to create gene evolution potions.

With the knowledge from "Primordial Zerg Canon," Qin Mu found that his approach was correct, but there were many issues in terms of details and operations.

In addition to problems with details and operations, the materials he used for research were also too poor.

The strongest individuals on Earth, Hong and Lei Shen, were only at the planetary level, and the offspring of planetary level individuals were only at the apprentice level, with very few research samples.

However, with the knowledge from "Primordial Zerg Canon" and the many gene data from the inheritance, these problems were easily solved.

Back on Earth, around a hidden underground mother nest, numerous human bodies that were nine-tenths similar to Qin Mu were continuously hatched and then sent into digestive organs.

The research human bodies initially had severe defects, either excessive mutations or internal organ pathologies, but as Qin Mu's research ideas were confirmed, the defects became fewer and fewer.

"Success!" Qin Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression became excited.

In the mother nest, a human body almost identical to Qin Mu appeared. His body had no mutations, and his internal organs were perfect, even better than Qin Mu's own body.

By drawing on many excellent genes, especially the genes of the Bug Queen, his gene structure became more reasonable. His pure physical strength, speed, and neural reaction speed surpassed Qin Mu. In terms of sensing and absorbing cosmic energy, his body was more than twice as strong as his own!

"Also, the perception of the laws of fire is much more clear. In terms of overall quality and potential, it has at least doubled compared to the original body!"

A wild smile appeared on Qin Mu's face, as he finally succeeded.

"The research is only preliminarily successful. With my current planetary level seven body, the potential has doubled! I don't know if it's the strength of the inheritance or the poor potential of Earth humans."

Qin Mu thought to himself. With the inheritance and his previous research, achieving such results in just over ten days was astonishing.

Without the Zerg, Qin Mu's body potential was actually very poor. Doubling it did not mean doubling the life gene, but it could elevate an ordinary person to the level of a genius among Earth humans.

"Doubling the overall quality and potential is just the beginning! As long as the research continues, it won't take much time to cause a qualitative change and achieve a multiple increase in life gene."

"My current strength has reached the planetary level, manifesting as a doubling of overall quality and potential. If applied to ordinary people, what effect would it have? Could it reach the apprentice level?"

Qin Mu was excited. If ordinary Earth humans could reach the apprentice level after using it, it would be amazing.

It is known that Earth human bloodlines are of the ninth grade, and adults are considered inferior. In the cosmic bloodlines, the seventh and eighth grades are considered ones who reach the apprentice level when reaching adulthood.

So, with the results of his research made into gene potions, it would be enough to attract the pursuit of most humans born with ninth and tenth grade bloodlines in the universe!

This is a potential increase, not just a simple increase in strength.

If you want to do it, it's easy now. The Zerg currently store a large number of Earth human genes, and it is easy to prove the results of the experiment.

Around the mother nest, Zerg eggs quickly hatched, and human-like creatures crawled out of the eggs.

When they were hatched, a worker Zerg came forward and injected a bloodline evolution potion just synthesized by the mother nest into the human body.

"Just provide energy and let it absorb, see if it can enhance strength and to what extent?"

On the ground, the creep spread, channeling energy into the human body.

"The strength is at the primary Warlord level, which is apprentice level four. Before hatching, their strength was that of ordinary humans, but after injecting the potion and providing sufficient energy for natural growth, they can reach apprentice level four!"

The experimental results made Qin Mu happy, as the potion's effect had met expectations and could indeed enhance the bloodline, although it could only raise the ninth grade bloodline to the eighth grade.

"This can already be considered a bloodline enhancement potion, albeit the least effective one!"

Bloodline enhancement potions are also graded, but even the lowest grade is a treasure!

"Making a bloodline enhancement potion requires about 100 milliliters of gene potion, which for the Zerg is equivalent to the cost of hatching a planetary level Zerg. This cost is not high for a bloodline enhancement potion. If sold in the universe, it would definitely be sought after by many humans born with ninth and tenth grade bloodlines!"

Although it consumed the energy to make a planetary level Zerg to produce a bloodline enhancement potion and required absorbing energy to create an apprentice level four human, which seems uneconomical, it is actually not the case.

Bloodline evolution potions cannot directly enhance strength but can make the user's future cultivation faster and easier.

Injecting a bloodline evolution potion is equivalent to a one-time improvement of the user's foundation, far more than a simple increase in strength.

"How much would this be worth in the universe?"

Qin Mu was excited, originally worried about financial issues when entering the universe, but with this potion, the problem was basically solved.

This is just the beginning, and as Qin Mu's research deepens, the potion's effect will become better, and its value will increase!

Qin Mu was excited and fully immersed in his research.

While Qin Mu was engrossed in his research, in the vast universe, a golden light rapidly flew from the cosmic stars toward Earth.

Earth, Hawaiian Islands, a golden light directly cut through the atmosphere and fell into the sea. Strangely, the descent did not cause any ripples.

Not only was there no change on the sea surface, but no satellite, surveillance equipment, or even the Zerg on Earth detected the golden light.

Deep under the sea. When the golden light disappeared, only an oval black egg with a diameter of about twelve meters was left. There were strange golden patterns on the black eggshell.

The golden-horned beast that Qin Mu had been waiting for a long time finally arrived.
