The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 142 Another Inheritance, a Puppet? Treasure Refining
"what is this?"

Qin Hao asked.

Although it is one body with three forms, all information can be exchanged with just one thought.

However, Qin Hao usually prefers to maintain their independence.

Combat experience can be shared and discussed.

However, it will not connect in real time.

This is to ensure their respective independence.

Some flashes of inspiration, spiritual practice, enlightenment, and so on, all require maintaining independence in order to be accomplished.

He shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't found out yet."

This thing was snatched from the Queen of Blades.

She was extremely happy at the time. "I discovered this while completing a mission for the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, hunting down these alien spies who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere."

"So, there have been quite a few alien races recently?"

"Yes, besides this insect, there are quite a few other races. For example, the machine race also exists. This..."

He then took out another object and tossed it around.

Qin Hao's eyes widened in surprise: "This is... the Heart of Evolution?"

This thing isn't actually that rare among the machine race.

This is one of the foundations of the existence of the machine race. If it were very rare, the machine race would be wiped out.

A group is called a group because it has a sufficient number of people.

The Heart of Evolution can evolve intelligent life into a mechanical race.

This is the foundation of the Machine race.

"Yes, I got it from the storage ring of a machine I killed earlier. I don't know if it's for my future offline after I advance in rank, or..."

The Machine Race has a strict hierarchical system, where lower-ranking members are usually under the leadership of a superior.

This is also why it is virtually impossible for the Machine Race to be enslaved by souls.

Of course, the machine race itself has no soul.

However, similar methods could not enslave the machine race.

In the original work, the only case where the progenitor succeeded was once, and that was against a mechanical race at the level of a universe lord.

Qin Hao was unsure whether he would succeed.

But there must be similar methods.

"The fact that the original ancestor was able to succeed means that the possibility of this method is not zero."

Qin Hao considered it, but didn't think too much about it.

"Let Coulson handle this."

This is essential for intelligent life to evolve into a mechanical race.

Back then, for reasons unknown, the Venerable Timo did not provide Coulson with the Heart of Evolution, and Qin Hao did not dwell on it.

Since I have it myself, I should definitely provide it to Coulson.

As for Babata?
That's Luo Feng's business.

Or if there are more Hearts of Evolution in the future, we'll talk about that then.

This shouldn't be difficult.

Although the Machine Race strictly controls the outflow of the Heart of Evolution, it is not 100% guaranteed.

There will always be a chance to get it.

They saw the Heart of Evolution being placed into the storage space of the Primordial Mirror.

Before Qin Hao could ask any more questions, he saw the miniature puppet light up.

This is?

Qin Hao's doubts arose in an instant.

However, change happened even faster than he could think.

"this?"

Before the previous incarnation could even communicate, they were teleported away.

"this?"

Since he didn't sense any danger from his past self, Qin Hao had no way to deal with it.

Moreover, the Second Life Secret Technique couldn't penetrate it.

"It's not necessarily that the Dream Butterfly Secret Realm technique of Second Life is inaccessible. Or perhaps the virtual universe is inaccessible?"

Although the secrets of the virtual universe are spread throughout the entire universe, only the core areas of other races remain untouched.

The Dream Butterfly Secret Technique was also created by that great being who was suspected to be a quasi-saint, so its quality must be high.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to say how high the two can be.

If we're talking about something being bad, it can only be because Qin Hao's strength wasn't enough, and the intensity he used wasn't sufficient.

However, the virtual universe covers a much wider area, many times larger than Qin Hao's Dream Butterfly Secret Technique.

The reason Qin Hao was able to use this secret technique to connect the other bodies of the three bodies in one body was entirely because he combined the Dream Butterfly Secret Technique with the virtual universe.

Or rather, Qin Hao transferred his secret techniques to a virtual universe.

Once outside the virtual universe's coverage area, he naturally had no way to contact it.

"Fortunately, the connection with the Primordial Mirror still exists, which allows us to confirm the safety of my past self."

Qin Hao took out a slip of paper from the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror. It was something his past self had just put in, and he placed it next to the Heart of Evolution.

"inherited?"

Knowing it was a legacy, Qin Hao was no longer worried.

In any case, the worst that can happen is death in the past.

It will be conceived again.

With the protection of the Primordial Mirror, there is no problem with the soul.

Since that's the case, Qin Hao is no longer worried.

"Forget about this place. Let's think about Luo's situation. There's still a little over a day left, it's about time to visit my senior brothers and sisters."

Before that, Qin Hao took out the Heart of Evolution and summoned Coulson.

"Colson."

A black and white panda emerged from the void and casually asked, "What's wrong?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Coulson's panda eyes widened in surprise.

It seemed that even the dark circles under her eyes disappeared in that instant.

"This? This is the Heart of Evolution?"

Coulson had also obtained the Heart of Evolution and became a machine.

Unfortunately, during an adventure, the mechanical race's body was destroyed, after which Venerable Timo planned to go to the Star Tower to recognize its master.

After that, Master Timo disappeared and never returned, and Coulson remained in the secret realm created by Master Timo.

They waited, and countless years passed.

Coulson himself was unable to find the Heart of Evolution, and after pledging allegiance to it, Coulson was infinitely loyal and determined to complete the mission of the Venerable Timothy.

Unfortunately, this task was never completed.

Coulson spent countless years in the secret realm.

Now, encountering the Heart of Evolution again, Coulson's emotions were stirred.

This?
Coulson was very excited and immediately completed the process of recognizing the master.

Logically speaking, after Qin Hao completed the test of the Venerable Timo, Coulson should have completed the initial recognition of his master.

This refers to the current state of the relationship between Babata and Luo Feng.

After Qin Hao ascends to immortality, Coulson should fully acknowledge him as his master.

Moreover, that secret realm should be completely inherited by Qin Hao.

Now that Qin Hao has found the Heart of Evolution ahead of schedule, it seems that he has completely unlocked some hidden settings.

Coulson completed the cult of faith ahead of schedule.

Qin Hao was generous, throwing the Heart of Evolution directly over, and Coulson's consciousness merged into it.

Before long, a real panda appeared in the same spot.

During this time, Qin Hao threw out a lot of rare metal ores, which were all absorbed by Coulson.

Slowly, a body began to take shape.

"My body?"

Coulson discovered that his body had reached the pinnacle of the cosmic level.

"I'm just one step away from advancing to the Domain Lord level."

The machine race's system of recognizing a master is different from the chip-controlled slaves used by the human race.

Even if its strength surpasses that of its master, it will not break the bond of recognition.

Qin Hao naturally wouldn't dissolve the matter either, as he also needed to be responsible for Coulson.

The Machine Race is a strictly hierarchical race, and if a more powerful Machine Race were to emerge, it would be possible to force Coulson to acknowledge a master.

Moreover, Coulson doesn't acknowledge a master, so how will Qin Hao take him to Chaos City in the future?
Coulson was once a machine, but he later lost his body.

We are currently in the process of recovery, and all we need is a sufficient supply of rare metal ores.

Once he regains his strength, he will need to comprehend the laws of the universe and improve himself.

Coulson was once an Immortal-level Mech.

In other words, as long as he provides enough metal ore, he can gain an immortal assistant in a short period of time.

This is the power of a fairyland.

Unfortunately, this number is likely enough to cripple the Tiangong Pavilion's economy.

Therefore, Coulson shouldn't even think about achieving immortality anytime soon.

Qin Hao couldn't afford to provide those mixed units of metal ore.

Coulson seemed to sense Qin Hao's thoughts and looked at Qin Hao with some resentment.

Qin Hao said, "In fact, this Heart of Evolution is worth hundreds of billions of Chaos Units. I even thought before that maybe I should sell this thing first, get enough resources, and start developing first."

The Heart of Evolution is possessed only by the Machine Race, and it is forbidden for any member of the Machine Race to sell the Heart of Evolution privately. This principle has long been ingrained in the core of every member of the Machine Race.

Therefore, each Heart of Evolution costs tens of billions of Mixed Yuan Units.

Things are valued for their rarity; this item can create a mechanical race member, hence its preciousness.

The machine race only needs a powerful body and a strong combat awareness to control that body in battle.

You can become an expert instantly.

In this respect, the mechanical race is undoubtedly more suited to creating powerful beings.

However, each immortal-level mechanical race member expends a great deal of energy.

Even the mechanical race could not possess endless wealth to manufacture.

Moreover, the backbone of each race is the master of the universe.

Even Venerables are types that can be consumed.

They can be resurrected anyway.

Upon hearing the price of tens of billions, Coulson fell silent.

Yes, that's so that we can leave this Heart of Evolution to him.

Qin Hao lost over 10 billion, and that's in mixed units.

It's worth countless world lords.

Qin Hao was previously raising funds to participate in the four-star auction of the Universe First Bank a year later.

If you could sell this Heart of Evolution, what couldn't you buy?

Of course, Qin Hao also had to consider the wealth of such a large sum of mixed-element units.

Even with the name of the Illusionary Butterfly King, am I still safe?

This is why he didn't dare to directly ask someone to target the Fire Phoenix Group.

The Locke Divine Water in the hands of the Fire Phoenix Group leader was also extremely valuable, priced in Mixed Yuan units, the figures were enormous.

One cubic kilometer of Locke's Divine Water fetched a high price of 890 million Mixed Yuan Units at auction.

The Locke Divine Water in the hands of the Fire Phoenix Group leader was a full 712 cubic kilometers.

Valued at 63.37 billion Mixed Yuan Units.

It's only slightly inferior to the Heart of Evolution.

That's equivalent to almost half of the Heart of Evolution.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao also felt a surge of excitement.

According to the information from his past self, the test he is currently undergoing, or rather, the test of inheritance, seems to involve creating puppets.

Or perhaps, it's about refining treasures.

This is the latest updated information from the past.

"Alright, go and cultivate now. If your cultivation level is low, it's like starting all over again. Now that you have a body, you can comprehend the laws. You must seize the time to comprehend the laws and not waste any."

He gave Coulson a word of advice, but Coulson didn't seem to care much.

Qin Hao is not going to hold it against them for the time being.

Anyway, we won't need Coulson anytime soon.

As everyone's strength improved, Coulson naturally became anxious.

Just look at his round body.

Qin Hao was also curious: "Could it be that whatever this body resembles will also be affected? The Iron-Eating Beast evolved itself into a cute beast, making a living by being cute. Could it be that Coulson will do the same?"

Over there, after the Nolan Mountain family returned, they immediately reported the information to the Nolan Mountain family. Upon investigation, the family indeed found an Earth lord.

This was registered in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

His name is Chen Yang.

Tiangong Pavilion also exists, and its registered address is Xuelan Star in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

As for information about the Illusionary Butterfly King, the Nuolanshan family could not find any.

The advance team asked curiously, "We can't find anything. Could it be fake?"

Nuolanshan glanced at the younger members of the family with annoyance.

"If it can't be found, it means that Nuolanshan's status is not high enough."

Furthermore, even if it were just the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, it's not someone we can afford to offend.

Nuolanshan recalled that when she checked earlier, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion announced that it had invited a peak Realm Lord to be its retainer.

Luo, the Lord of the Time Realm, has quite a reputation, and even Nolan Mountain has heard of him.

This person appears to be one of the founders of Three Axe Mountain, a powerful force belonging to the Black Dragon Mountain Universe Kingdom.

Although he, Nuolanshan, is also a legend in other people's eyes.

A warrior wielding a giant axe.

But he's only at the cosmic level; he's not even worth a slap in the face.

Moreover, the master of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion was also a giant axe warrior.

He was also a stellar-level giant axe warrior, at the peak of the stellar level.

It is said that at that time, many domain lords and realm lords wanted to take on disciples.

If the other party is not the disciple of the Illusionary Butterfly King, then one can freely choose one of the realm lords to become their disciple.

These are not people I can afford to mess with.

However, the advance team was still not satisfied: "How about we sell the information?"

As long as you didn't provoke it yourself, then everything will be fine?
"idiot!"

Nuolanshan slapped him to the ground, he didn't even know why he had such a stupid descendant.

"While I cannot confirm the news about the Illusionary Butterfly King, it is highly likely to be true."

Moreover, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion is served by a peak Realm Lord.

"Do you intend to completely wipe the Noransan family from the universe?"

Don't assume the law will protect them.

If a peak realm lord really wanted to harm them, there would be no legal recourse to punish them.

Although the other party seems to have little time left to live.

But 20,000 years is enough time for them all to pass away.

It is precisely because the other party's lifespan is running out that they are even more untouchable.

Who knows if the other person will go crazy?

Even those at the same level as realm lords wouldn't provoke an opponent whose lifespan is nearing its end.

Are you not afraid that your opponent will risk their life to take you away?

Qin Hao was unaware of these things, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

Once you reach a higher position, you'll be able to accept some things you don't like now.

Just mention it, and someone will naturally take care of it.

Your status determines the importance of your words.

Once you have the strength, you can do things that were impossible before with just a word.

The past self is also busy at this moment.

The teleportation came so suddenly that he didn't have time to react or resist.

In the blink of an eye, we had arrived at a place that was now some distance away.

He looked around and found himself in a room.

"Welcome, tester."

Ok?
Intelligent life?

Qin Hao, who has Coulson by his side, naturally knows what this is.

However, his questions were not answered.

The voice rang out: "Those who come to take the test must continuously overcome obstacles. Only those who complete the test will receive the master's inheritance."

"Who is your master? What realm is he/she at? How many levels are there in total?"

Qin Hao asked loudly.

Unfortunately, his question went unanswered.

Only one sentence fell from the sky.

"Those who fail the test will be eliminated."

Therefore, whether you know it or not is meaningless.

The past incarnation, or what is called Hongmeng, pursed his lips.

"Alright then, let's begin the challenge. What's the first challenge?"

Since knowing or not knowing doesn't matter, let's just start the challenge.

Anyway, I'm not in any immediate danger of dying.

Even if someone dies, they can simply be reborn and retain their memories.

What is he worried about?
As for whether others will regret obtaining this inherited item, Hongmeng doesn't know.

Anyway, I don't regret it.

"The first hurdle is memorizing the raw materials, which are various metal ores, etc."

Making golems doesn't only require metal ore.

The meridians of some special life forms are also useful.

For example, snake tendons or dragon tendons are both extremely useful tools.

This type of material is required for some bowstrings or flexible joints.

There are approximately 30,000 kinds of materials in the room in front of us.

"Half a day is all it takes to memorize it clearly. Next, a certain material, or several materials, will be randomly selected. You must clearly memorize the name of this material, its characteristics, the environment in which it is used, and the conditions that need to be paid attention to when refining treasures."

Hongmeng frowned. How many materials are there in the entire universe?

Perhaps a single organism can be broken down into dozens, or even hundreds, of materials.

There are also a great variety of metal ores.

In addition, there are various plants...

The materials that can be used to refine treasures are incredibly diverse.

You might think a material is useless, or even the secretions of an insect or the excrement of an animal, but it could be used to refine treasures.

It could be used as an additive, or it could be a catalyst in a certain process.

How could the properties of such materials be so easily understood?

You also need to memorize it completely within half a day.

Isn't this making things difficult for people?
But intelligent life will not stop just because of the criticism of HarmonyOS.

A screen fell from mid-air, displaying a document.

When Hongmeng's finger touched the image, it displayed countless pictures, each corresponding to one of the materials that had appeared in the room earlier.

This is followed by a text description, or even audio.

They can provide whatever you need.

Hongmeng had no time to waste and immediately began to memorize.

Fortunately, he also had Coulson's clone with him, which could help record it.

In this way, these materials can also be stored through the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror.

Even if we die here, it won't be a complete waste.

In any case, I won't leave anyone with a single thing.

Half a day is really not a long time.

This means that everyone who comes to receive the inheritance needs to have an extremely strong memory.

When the assessment comes, HarmonyOS believes that intelligent life forms and the like will definitely not be allowed.

Therefore, HarmonyOS did not slack off.

Fortunately, his spiritual strength was very high, and his memory was also excellent.

There is no loss even if one dies.

But the biggest loss is to gain nothing.

This inheritance cost a lot and looks very grand.

It is certainly precious to pass on this knowledge.

They even used teleportation.

It cannot be detected even in the virtual universe.
How could it not be a grand event?
Moreover, this inheritance may be very secretive and its defenses may be very strong.

Otherwise, the Venerables could capture it by taking action.

It would be impossible to search such a vast area for people willing to come and receive the inheritance.

During Hongmeng's mission to become a cosmic mercenary, he encountered more than just this one inherited item.

He did not rob anyone else.

They were fellow human beings, and no one had offended him or attacked him first.

Hongmeng will not take the initiative to deal with the other party, nor will it try to seize the other party's opportunities.

He possesses two realms, and even all the heavens and myriad realms.

There are plenty of opportunities, why would you steal someone else's?
Half a day passes in the blink of an eye.

"Time's up, the assessment begins."

When I say "beginning," I mean it truly begins.

The documents were taken away directly.

"Intelligent life forms are not allowed to be used; otherwise, they will be directly eliminated."

As expected, intelligent life forms are not allowed to be used.

As these words were spoken, a powerful sense of crisis enveloped the entire room.

Hongmeng understood that as long as he broke the rules...

This force will not be ambiguous; once it strikes, this body will be doomed.

This force even locked onto the soul.

Hongmeng even sensed it, whether it was the human race or others.

Both the soul and the consciousness of the machine race were locked.

As long as the power falls, it will be annihilated.

Hongmeng even gained a tiny bit of insight into annihilation because of this.

And death.

"Let's find joy in hardship."

"Please state the name, characteristics, and usage precautions for the fifth item, number 234."

The voice of this intelligent being was devoid of any emotion, hollow and ruthless.

Hongmeng quickly recalled the information about the 234th item in the fifth row.

"Immediately," Hongmeng said.

"The fifth item, number 234, is the shell of a Crimson Tortoise. Its characteristics are hardness and rich in..."

The assessments were conducted one by one.

It is said that one or several items will be randomly selected.

But in reality, the assessment covers many things, far more than just a few.

In fact, of the 30,000 items here, at least 3,000 were inquired about.

Is this one out of ten?

Ah!
A terrifying scream rang out.

Is this... annihilation?

Hongmeng knew from the beginning that he was definitely not the only one receiving the inheritance.

Moreover, those who fail the assessment will be eliminated.

However, when it actually encountered something that was being wiped out, HarmonyOS was still taken aback.

Fortunately, I was fast enough and finished the assessment quickly.

"Passed the first test. Three days of rest before proceeding to the second test."

Hongmeng was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Now that I have passed the first test, may I ask how many people participated in the assessment?"

How many levels are there in total, and how many levels do you need to pass to leave?

Whose legacy is this?

The air suddenly became quiet.

However, this time, it seems that HarmonyOS has passed the first test and is no longer dispensable.

After a moment of silence, the intelligent life form suddenly spoke.

"Having passed the first test, you are now eligible for initial inheritance. You can answer..."
