Chapter 307 The Third Avatar, Zerg Compensation
1.2 elite immortal Zerg warriors—each of whom is at least equivalent to a Marquis-level immortal.
11.4 ordinary immortal Zerg warriors, each with a divine body possessing 100 times the power of a peak World Lord.
The 1000 million Zerg warriors are transitional products in the process of cultivation. In the future, thousands of immortal Zerg warriors will be gradually cultivated and selected from them.
There were no Zerg warriors below the level of World Lord.
Nan Cheng doesn't even look at those small fry and wouldn't waste time and resources nurturing them.
Besides combat prowess, Nan Cheng also brought Ye Yang a massive amount of wealth!
Heaven knows how many powerful kings she has hunted down throughout countless eras.
In short, after taking stock of her treasure trove, Ye Yang was surprised to find a large number of precious treasures, including special materials for forging weapons, treasures for restoring divine bodies, and skins of strange beasts with unknown uses.
Besides these priceless treasures, the total value of the ordinary treasures possessed by Nan Cheng and her soul servants also reached an astonishing level.
That's equivalent to 30 times the wealth of an ordinary King-level expert!
According to Nan Cheng, during these eras, she killed at least 200 to 300 king-level powerhouses from various races, and used most of her wealth to build up her immortal insectoid army.
Otherwise, their wealth could have multiplied several times over.
"What is this?" Ye Yang asked, holding up a rock that was more than ten meters long and wide.
This thing looks like ordinary rock, but it has good hardness and toughness, and can be used to forge fifth-tier weapons.
However, such things are not of much value to ordinary realm lords, so it is indeed strange that Nan Cheng would take a liking to them and keep them on his person.
"A fragment of the outer shell of the 'Hillside Giant Beast,' one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Giant Beasts," Nan Cheng replied.
"I see." Ye Yang nodded.
These are all treasures from Nan Cheng's collection. She has naturally inventoried and appraised them all, and knows the origin and purpose of most of them.
Therefore, Ye Yang let her introduce the items herself, while Babata took stock of the ordinary items.
"And what is this?"
"The corpse of a special life form at the World Lord level was hunted down in a secret cosmic realm called the Black Deep Sea. It was born with the ability to seal space, but now only a part of its skin remains."
Ye Yang found a large number of life material fragments in a world ring and asked with some doubt:
"Nan Cheng, what are you doing collecting so many body materials from powerful, gifted beings?"
Nan Cheng explained:
"Master, when I train warriors, occasionally one in a billion super-potential individuals will be born among countless Zerg."
"These high-potential individuals are very special. In order to make full use of their evolutionary power, our Zerg usually collect materials from life forms with powerful talents and let them devour them."
"There is a certain chance that it may cause mutation, making the combat power even stronger—four of my seven ace warriors have discovered their potential through this method of mutation."
"In my legion, there are eight more super-potential individuals like this that have undergone mutation. They are all seeds for future evolution into ace warriors."
After Nan Cheng explained it this way, Ye Yang understood.
Looking at these living organisms, he couldn't help but think about the dilemma of choosing his third avatar.
"I need these things. You can come back to me for them next time you cultivate a super-potential individual," Ye Yang said, and then put these life substances into his world ring.
Upon returning to Chaos City, Ye Yang immediately went to pay his respects to the City Lord of Chaos City—in fact, this was also the Lord's intention.
"teacher!"
Ye Yang greeted him with a smile and a bow.
"This time—very well done," the Chaos City Lord laughed.
He looked at Ye Yang with great satisfaction. Although he was a little surprised that Ye Yang did not carry the Soul-Suppressing Bell with him, he thought that Ye Yang had two clones and should keep it with the other clones, so he did not think about it anymore.
The Lord of Chaos City said, "Your current understanding of the laws, secret techniques, willpower, and the accumulation of energy in your body and soul have all reached their peak. It's time to break through and become an immortal." Ye Yang nodded, then said somewhat helplessly, "Teacher, but I still haven't chosen my third avatar."
"I called you back this time because there are two things I need to tell you, one of which is this," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile. "With your current access to the virtual universe, you can access information on almost all known World Lord-level life forms of the human race."
"But you still haven't selected a candidate, it seems there are some special requirements."
"That's true." Ye Yang felt a headache coming on when he thought about this.
The blood of the Beast God, extracted by sheer luck, became a unique Dao, capable of automatically adapting to worlds with different legal systems and forming a special bloodline.
This is how Ye Yang obtained this clone, which is equivalent to a descendant of a naturally born golden beast god.
However, such good fortune did not fall into his lap easily. By checking the information of the other seven innate beast gods, Ye Yang discovered that after most of the innate beast gods perished, the treasures that their bodies transformed into were snatched away by various powerful forces.
Those treasures were all one-time use items, and had long been used up by countless cosmic venerables and cosmic lords over the long years.
Even if there were any left, Ye Yang couldn't even find them in the search, let alone use them.
Only two naturally born beast gods, like the naturally born gold beast god, left behind a place similar to the Blood Luo Continent, which can continuously produce special treasures.
Unfortunately, after spending a lot of money to obtain two samples, Ye Yang discovered that no matter what he did, he could not extract anything similar to the blood of the Beast God, let alone use it as a bloodline blueprint to nurture a clone.
Since the path of the Eight Great Beast Gods' Fall is not feasible, the most natural method Ye Yang could think of was to choose a similar species' bloodline for fusion.
The most common are ordinary humans, ordinary chickens, dogs, and cats—these are Earth's specialties—they are practically everywhere in the myriad worlds.
Of course, those at too low a level of life are not within Ye Yang's consideration.
For example, the Zerg—this type of life exists in many places throughout the myriad worlds.
Even though their forms and abilities differ, their basic characteristics are similar.
There is also the Netherworld Blood Sea, which exists in many immortal cultivation worlds. The Devouring World also happens to have a special kind of life called the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Things like the World Tree, mountain spirits and stone monsters, fire-breathing flying lizards, and even digital life forms—these things exist in both the Devouring World and the Immortal Alliance Lord's World.
However, after a long period of collecting and studying various materials, Ye Yang discovered that these similar species from all the worlds have many similarities on a macroscopic scale, but their microscopic life genetic material and bloodlines are completely different!
The most direct way to fully integrate them is to comprehend the "Way of Life" of the Devouring World and the "Law of Life" of the Immortal Alliance Master's World.
The path to life that devours the world can be understood through research routes such as the "Divine Power Route" and the "Source of Water and Fire".
The laws of life in the main world belong to the intersection of the two supreme laws: [Matter] and [True Spirit].
But without a doubt, this is too difficult and too advanced for Ye Yang at present, and his expertise doesn't match it.
As a second-best option, there is another way to achieve a similar effect when one's cultivation level is insufficient: cultivate the fundamental technique of the "True Bloodline of the Demon God" and follow the path of bloodline body refinement.
But if that were possible, Ye Yang would have changed his ways back then.
"The disciple's clone—due to some special reasons, must possess extremely strong adaptability!" Ye Yang thought for a moment and still said this.
"Adaptability?" the Chaos City Lord asked疑惑地问道, "Those special life forms are all born in mysterious and extraordinary cosmic realms, and their ability to adapt to harsh environments far surpasses that of other races. Which aspect of adaptability are you referring to?"
Ye Yang replied, "Bloodline and Laws."
"?" The Chaos City Lord frowned slightly.
Ye Yang knew that the Lord of Chaos City, not being in the environment of the great development of the myriad worlds, would not immediately think of the differences and changes in the law system.
He could only say, "It's roughly like this—to compare the virtual universe with the original universe, I can freely use the spacetime fusion law in the original universe, but not in the virtual universe."
"Then—if there exists a special kind of life form whose life activities are entirely dependent on the laws of spacetime fusion, then they can only live in the original universe and cannot survive in the virtual universe!"
"And the adaptability I need is to enable this special life form to automatically adapt its bloodline and rapidly evolve a life structure that relies on the laws of time, space, and other laws, even if it enters a virtual universe without the underlying support of the laws of spacetime fusion."
"And after returning to the original universe, it can quickly recover to its previous state and rely on the spacetime fusion law to carry out life activities more efficiently."
After hearing Ye Yangju's example, the Lord of Chaos City fell into deep thought.
After Ye Yang finished speaking, he waited quietly.
"I see."
Looking at Ye Yang, the Lord of Chaos City gradually came to a realization.
"Perhaps my disciple's strange request for clones relates to his most fundamental secret—the inheritance from an ancient civilization."
"Differences in the underlying laws? I never imagined such an incredible thing could exist. Even the strongest being's 'words become law' can only alter the fundamental laws of the universe, such as the speed of light. The ten most fundamental laws still exist; only the phenomena manifested in the universe's operation are different."
The Lord of Chaos City pondered silently, while Ye Yang waited.
In the future, he will definitely expand into the dungeon world, mobilizing the entire Immortal Alliance to develop it. The Immortal Alliance's power will also become an important part of his future influence among the human race.
Ye Yang's strength has now reached the level of King-level Invincible, which is extremely close to that of a Universe Venerable. Moreover, his consciousness has been bestowed with the strongest talent secret technique by the original source of the universe. Once he becomes an immortal, he will immediately possess the combat power of a Universe Venerable!
For a great being like the Lord of Chaos City, the Universe Venerable is considered a young man, gradually gaining the ability to stand on his own.
Ye Yang thought it was appropriate to reveal a little information.
"The life talent you speak of—I have no clue about it." The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and sighed as he looked at Ye Yang: "The universe is full of wonders, but they are all within the scope of the universe's evolution."
"Your request—never mind. I'll give you a star map marking some cosmic secrets. In these special cosmic places, there exist a large number of different kinds of special life forms; perhaps the one you're looking for is among them."
The Lord of Chaos City sent a star map through the virtual universe network.
"Thank you, Teacher Xie," Ye Yang said quickly.
"The final Ancestral Mystic Realm requires the Beast God Inheritance Token. With your current strength and reputation, I can easily grant you one. However, you don't cultivate the Beast God's Path, and there are many eyes on you from various races there. If your identity is exposed, a group of Universe Venerables might risk their lives to assassinate you."
The Lord of Chaos City said, "First, conceal your identity and try your luck in other cosmic secret realms. If you still don't find anything there, then try the Ancestral Secret Realm. If even that doesn't work, you probably won't find it in the 1000 epochs of your World Lord lifespan."
"Remember," the Chaos City Lord earnestly advised, "Sometimes, letting go is more valuable than persisting."
"Disciple understands," Ye Yang replied.
He sensed a lack of optimism in the Chaos City Lord's tone. The fact that the Chaos City Lord, who had lived for countless years and witnessed the power of countless races, still held this view was enough to show how difficult it was to meet Ye Yang's request.
"Primitive life forms all exist within the evolution of the universe. Unless, like innate beast gods, a Heavenly Dao is naturally hidden within their bloodline," it's impossible for them to adapt to different systems of laws, right?"
Ye Yang asked himself this question in his heart.
Theoretically speaking, that's true.
This applies to both the cultivation system on the Devouring World side and the theories on the Immortal Path of the Heavens.
Only the more abstract Great Dao, which transcends the laws of nature, allows one to aspire to traverse the heavens and roam freely in the business world.
"Perhaps my only option in the end is to forcibly conceive two similar but not entirely identical lives in two worlds, and then, with my true will and the Great Dao, forcibly suppress, merge, and adapt them until the discrepancy between them completely disappears."
Ye Yang knew, of course, that this was an extremely difficult path, second only to the True Meaning Nirvana in terms of risk—because the process was continuous and could take thousands of years to succeed.
Throughout these millennia, his true meaning and self-awareness will remain in a state of constant self-contradiction and conflict.
The slightest misstep could lead to mental breakdown, personality splitting, or the three separate entities disintegrating and each developing its own will, turning one person into three. In severe cases, it could result in the collapse of one's Dao, the dissipation of one's Dao, and death.
Of course, the most likely outcome is that he goes astray and becomes possessed by a demon, his path transforming him into something neither human nor ghost, his thoughts becoming chaotic, turning him into a monster wandering the starry sky.
"There's a second reason I called you here."
The Lord of Chaos City smiled again and said, "This time, your incident has given us a clue about the relationship between the Zerg and the Demon Clan."
"The fact that the two Venerables of the Demon Clan were enslaved by the souls of the Venerables of the Insect Clan was originally unknown to anyone. Therefore, our Venerable Yuanzhu can directly demand compensation from the Demon Clan."
"However, the demon race's attitude was very firm, and I couldn't get any benefits out of them, so I changed my approach and told them the truth. Then, we humans and the demon race joined forces to put pressure on the insectoid race, demanding compensation."
"By putting pressure on us and the demon race, the insectoid race had no choice but to obediently pay compensation."
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
The Zerg really brought this on themselves.
There are no permanent friends or enemies among different groups, only permanent tribal interests.
Even though the demon race knew that the emergence of a super genius like Ye Yang posed a huge threat to the future of humanity, the actions of the insect race had greatly damaged their interests.
What kind of nonsense is it to secretly enslave the souls of two cosmic venerables?
Whether it's to make up for losses or to demand an explanation, it's perfectly reasonable for the demon race to choose to join forces with humans this time.
"This is your compensation, a top-tier treasure set, not too valuable."
The Lord of Chaos City casually tossed out a stream of light, which Ye Yang quickly caught.
"A top-tier treasure set?" He couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Ye Yang has fought in the extraterritorial battlefield for so many years, and even killed Nan Cheng. Now he only has three ordinary heavy treasures that he doesn't really need.
Now, they've suddenly acquired a top-tier treasure set that even the most powerful beings in the universe would envy?
