Swallowed Star: The Zerg Overlord

Chapter 78: The Purpose

In the rear, Councilor Jia Yi was shocked, his eyes filled with joy. At first, when Qin Mu said he would find an opportunity to spar with Hong, he was very worried. Hong had been mythologized on Earth for too long. Just his name represented invincibility, an unbeatable force.

Although Qin Mu had shown great strength, who would dare say they could win against Hong? But Qin Mu won! From this moment on, the world has changed!

The likelihood of Qin Mu's plan succeeding increased significantly.

"It's not really a win. If it were a direct confrontation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your opponent," Qin Mu said with a smile, taking over Hong's words.

"A win is a win, a loss is a loss!" Hong's voice was steady, the flush on his face already gone. Although he was slightly injured, it was just a minor injury that would heal with a little rest.

"I want to talk to you about the plan I mentioned earlier," Qin Mu shook his head, not wanting to dwell on the topic.

Hong looked at Qin Mu seriously. With such great strength and causing such a commotion on Misty Island, Qin Mu had drawn him here. What kind of plan would a strong person like him need to be so cautious about? If at first, Hong was only somewhat interested in Qin Mu's plan, now he was paying unprecedented attention.

"Alright, let's talk in my fighter jet," Hong said, looking around. Almost all the global forces were gathered here.

"Good." Qin Mu nodded without hesitation.

If Hong were to suddenly attack in the confined space of the fighter, Qin Mu might be in danger. But Qin Mu trusted Hong's character and believed he wouldn't do such a thing. Even if, by some chance, Qin Mu were killed, he could be reborn in the nest.

This was the true source of his fearlessness.

"Plan? What plan?" Lei Shen, whose shock had not yet faded, asked curiously. He had arrived late and didn't know about Qin Mu and Hong's earlier conversation. The others also listened intently.

"Lei Shen, you can come too. You should know about this as well," Qin Mu said, stepping into Hong's fighter jet and turning to Lei Shen. Lei Shen, curious as he was, followed without hesitation.

The interior of the fighter jet was spacious, easily accommodating three people. Seeing Qin Mu follow him into the fighter without fear, Hong was also quite impressed. The slight unease in his heart dissipated. Entering his own domain, the fighter jet, without fear, showed that Qin Mu likely had no ill intentions towards him.

"What is this plan you mentioned?" Lei Shen asked impatiently.

"This place is absolutely safe. No one can hear our conversation," Hong said, also waiting for Qin Mu's explanation.

Hearing Hong's words, Qin Mu shook his head. Absolutely safe? Babata was underground, and Earth's technology couldn't block its surveillance. For 50,000 years, all of humanity had been under its watch. There were almost no secrets from Babata.

At first, Qin Mu had intentionally wandered around Misty Island for a long time to see if Babata would recognize him and guide him to the underground to obtain the inheritance. Otherwise, with his strength, Qin Mu could easily harvest the spirits of nature on his own. Why would he need so many high-level Zergs?

But clearly, Babata did not recognize him.

Moreover, Qin Mu had some guesses about why Babata didn't recognize him. It was most likely because of his Zerg-related abilities.

Others might not know what the 800-meter thing in the 31st ruin was, but how could Babata not know? How could it not make the connection? When it discovered the appearance of Zerg swarms on Earth, Babata probably wished it could flee immediately. Unfortunately, the Yun Mo ship had long lost its power and couldn't leave even if it wanted to.

From the beginning, Qin Mu had this psychological preparation and did not regret his actions. Without developing the Zerg swarms, how could he have the strength he has now?

Moreover, Qin Mu's reason for talking to Hong on Misty Island was also to pressure Babata to quickly choose a successor. Since it didn't choose him and discovered the appearance of Zergs on Earth, Babata would definitely want to flee first. Just like when Earth encountered the invasion of the Golden Horned Beast, Babata wanted to flee with Luo Feng immediately.

Babata had no feelings for Earth. After the death of Hu Yan Bo, it only cared about the inheritance. Everything else was irrelevant to it. Unfortunately, it couldn't leave on its own. It needed a successor, someone to take the inheritance and leave Earth with the Yun Mo ship before the Zerg swarms truly developed or the sleeping Bug Queen awakened.

This was Qin Mu's purpose.

The successor, of course, was Luo Feng.

On Earth, excluding Qin Mu, Luo Feng had the highest brain width of 21. An Indian Wargod had a brain width of 16, and East had 15. Babata could probably only consider these few people, and Qin Mu just needed to ensure the inheritance didn't fall into the hands of these two.

Currently, Luo Feng was still weak and hadn't gone to the 9th ruin to test his brain width, so Babata didn't know about him. Although Babata's detection capabilities were much stronger, it still needed to attract people to Misty Island to test them.

This was why Babata used Muya crystals to cultivate a beast emperor near Misty Island to attract the attention of global forces. The spirits of nature on the island served the same purpose, just to attract the attention of global forces and facilitate Babata's screening of potential successors.

In Qin Mu's plan, he intended to train Luo Feng during the war. War was the best way to train people! Its effects far surpassed the elite training camps.

With the harvest of so many spirits of nature this time, with Luo Feng's talent, it was normal for him to stand out in the upcoming war. After Luo Feng's achievements, giving him a spirit of nature to boost his strength to the Wargod level and transferring him to Misty Island would suffice.

As for training in the 9th ruin, Qin Mu didn't have the time to wait. With that time, Luo Feng could improve faster under Babata's guidance, and Babata would also lay a solid foundation for him. Misty Island, being such a unique place, would definitely be highly valued by the major forces and wouldn't be easily evacuated.

Qin Mu didn't know that Luo Feng, whom he had high hopes for, was currently hiding in a building in 003 City. In the dark, Luo Feng was staring at a nearby dragon egg, an Iron Dragon egg. After his brother's legs were healed, Luo Feng didn't sink into obscurity. Instead, he devoted all his energy to training, becoming stronger than in the original timeline.

Leaving Luo Feng's situation aside, Qin Mu looked at Hong and Lei Shen seriously.

"My plan is simple: to unify the world, drive out the monsters, and enter the universe!"

"Unify the world?" Hong's expression became serious. It was easy to say, but extremely difficult to implement. Since ancient times, countless heroic figures' ultimate pursuit was unification.

"How can we unify the world? I've also considered unifying the world, but the cost is too great. Suppressing the major forces with powerful personal strength, their rule is deeply rooted. Forced unification would only be a loss. The current situation is maintained because of the threat of monsters. The five major countries, the HR Alliance, and even the Limit Dojo, and the Thunder Dojo have never truly been peaceful."

Seeing that Hong didn't directly refute but raised questions, Qin Mu smiled.

"Of course, it's not about forced unification. I plan to initiate a global war. Starting with China, we will reclaim the lands occupied by monsters. During the war, we will gradually unify other countries and forces."

"A full-scale war? With humanity's current strength, we are no match for the monsters at all. If it weren't for me and Hong suppressing them, humans wouldn't stand a chance against the land monsters. Not to mention the ocean monsters, where there are two beast emperors whose strength is no less than ours," Lei Shen couldn't help but say. If possible, who would want to see monsters rampaging?

Hong also had doubts in his eyes.

"You should know that there are other civilizations in the universe, right?" Qin Mu pondered for a moment and asked Hong and Lei Shen.

"Of course, at our level, we naturally know that there are other civilizations in the universe! Brother Hong and I have also excavated many alien civilization ruins," Lei Shen answered.

"I have confidence because I have obtained some inheritance from a civilization. You should have seen those high-level Horde Leaders flying outside, right? I have created them using genetic technology. I now control nearly 100 million of them! Once the war starts and I obtain more monster flesh, this number can skyrocket."

With a positive response, Qin Mu said.

"So that's it! I was wondering how you could control so many monsters. It turns out you obtained technology from a cosmic civilization!" Both Hong and Lei Shen showed understanding. They had suspected something like this about Qin Mu. Their intelligence indicated that Qin Mu had provided the Chinese military with over 100,000 monsters.

"Actually, the monsters are not the real problem. You should know that the real danger comes from other people! The universe is not peaceful. We must quickly unify all forces and enter the universe."

Qin Mu's expression was serious. He couldn't use nationalistic sentiments to convince Hong and Lei Shen like he did with Councilor Jia Yi. It had to be the threat from the universe.

Hong and Lei Shen, being the strongest on Earth, had always known how dangerous the universe was. This was why they continued to train hard even after becoming the strongest.

In the original timeline, not long after the war with the Golden Horned Beast, someone discovered Earth. If not for Luo Feng, Earth might have become a slave planet.

So, he intended to enter the cosmos early and make preparations.
