• Qin Mu chose the Bone General as the first opponent for the Swarm’s Strongest Unit and began the full conquest of Universe Boat.

Qin Mu’s reinforced Larva Nest Tyrants and Innate Beast Gods overwhelmed the Death Beasts, while the completed first stage of the World Hive Mother deployed self-destructing Zerg Units to devastate the battlefield. The Swarm advanced to occupy the Myriad Spirits Garden, leaving the Bone General pinned down by a War Skull Beast.

• A reinforced Larva Nest Tyrant used its defense and spear technique to kill an Eighth-Order True God-level Death Beast with Severance.
• Qin Mu ordered the Swarm’s full army to advance and deploy the World Hive Mother against the remaining Death Beasts.
• More than ten thousand Larva Nest Tyrants and Innate Beast Gods formed a War Skull Beast that held back the Bone General.
• The World Hive Mother launched Zerg Units that used Donghua to reach their targets and self-destruct with Severance, killing over a hundred thousand powerful Death Beasts.

Qin Mu’s Swarm developed a new Death Zerg lineage by adapting to the Myriad Spirits Garden’s Death Aura, while its forces continued to overwhelm the dwindling Death Beasts. He ordered a sealing plan against the Bone General, and the World Hive Mother’s Shadow Chains began dragging it toward a rift.

• The Swarm’s prolonged war weakened the Death Beasts, while its Fungal Carpet spread across the land and learned to use the Death Aura.
• Qin Mu’s Swarm created Death Zerg from fallen units, aided by research on captured Bone Race members and materials sent by the Skeleton Lord.
• Qin Mu recognized the Death Zerg’s potential in places saturated with Death Aura and connected the lineage to the Life Death path of the Jie Mu Inheritance.
• Qin Mu ordered the Swarm to execute a sealing plan against the Bone General, which was still fighting the War Skull Beast.
• The World Hive Mother deployed 108 Shadow Chains, and the chains’ Life Energy weakened the Bone General as the Swarm and War Skull Beast forced it toward the rift.

Qin Mu captured the Bone General but discovered that Death Beasts could not be forcibly Zergified, then achieved a stable 15,000-times Life Gene Level after years of research. He began upgrading the Swarm, while Chaos City Lord celebrated proof that the Divine Power Path could be advanced.

• Qin Mu used the World Hive Mother to suppress and capture the Bone General, then failed to Zergify it and instead supplied it with Death Aura and a Death Mother Nest.
• Qin Mu’s experiments with life diagrams from the Jie Mu Inheritance produced a stable Gold Beast God with a 15,000-times Life Gene Level, breaking the 10,081 Perfect Gene bottleneck.
• Qin Mu chose not to advance to True God yet and ordered the Swarm’s conventional combat units to transform to 15,000-times genes.
• The Swarm’s Primordial Seas and other enormous units transformed and shrank throughout the universe, drawing Chaos City Lord’s attention.
• Qin Mu told Chaos City Lord that his Life Level had reached 15,000 times, and Chaos City Lord welcomed the breakthrough as proof that the Divine Power Path could be pursued.

Qin Mu explained how he had completed the Divine Power Flow breakthrough in thirty thousand years through the Swarm, inherited knowledge, and rigorous study of life structures. He continued refining his Bloodline Evolution technique, while Nine Nether Lord emerged as the Human Race’s most promising candidate to follow his path.

• Qin Mu told Chaos City Lord that the Divine Power Flow path was viable, and Chaos City Lord praised Qin Mu’s rapid breakthrough while hoping to follow the same path himself.
• Qin Mu explained that the Human Race had access to the basic Duan Donghe Inheritance, but no one besides him had reached the perfect gene level; Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord were still accumulating knowledge.

• Qin Mu ordered the Swarm to search the Universe Boat for tokens, but none of the Silver, Green, or Black Tokens opened the treasure chamber.
• Qin Mu spent ten thousand years studying the damaged Secret Pattern Diagrams around the treasure chamber, improving his understanding even though he did not crack it.
• Qin Mu applied his knowledge to a Universe Boat hull fragment and ordered over a thousand Larva Nest Tyrants to destroy its energy nodes.
• The fragment broke free from its connection to the Universe Boat and drifted away, astonishing several nearby Universe Lords.
• Lord Huang Jian and Dragonwalk Lord discussed the Swarm’s impact on the Forbidden Lands, and Qin Mu invited the Universe Lords to join his Swarm expedition fleets.

Qin Mu explained that the Swarm’s powerful expeditionary army would leave little role for most Human Race Universe Lords, so he offered them regions to explore and invited Lord Huang Jian to join a future expedition. Meanwhile, the Swarm began trying to capture the Molten Demon Gods, and its World Hive Mother and War Behemoth trapped one in God Annihilation Ravine.

• Qin Mu described the Swarm’s expeditionary army, and Dragonwalk Lord and Lord Huang Jian worried they would be useless alongside its elite forces.
• Qin Mu offered the Human Race’s Universe Lords designated regions in the Three Great Forbidden Lands to explore and said the expedition would depart after the World Hive Mother’s tests.
• Qin Mu invited Lord Huang Jian to join the expedition and revealed that the Swarm was already targeting the Molten Demon Gods for capture.
• In God Annihilation Ravine, a twelve-headed War Behemoth fought a Molten Demon God while the World Hive Mother sent 108 Shadow Chains to bind them both.
• The World Hive Mother and War Behemoth dragged the struggling Molten Demon God toward the World Hive Mother’s belly.

• Qin Mu used the World Hive Mother and Shadow Chains to capture the Molten Demon God, then combined Swarm Willpower with enslavement techniques from the Jie Mu Inheritance to overcome its killing intent.
• Qin Mu Zergified the Molten Demon God and learned from its fragmented memories that it had helped construct the Universe Boat.
• Qin Mu discovered that the Molten Demon God was a Mechanical Flow maintenance puppet whose strength and possible permissions could aid his exploration of the Universe Boat.

• Qin Mu collected 136 Supreme Treasures, including three Eternal True God-level items and six Palace Supreme Treasures.
• Qin Mu gathered 1,269 Inheritance Stones, many of which contained insect-beast cultivation methods.
• Qin Mu opened a protected jade box and discovered five preserved Nine Revolutions Soul Lotus seeds, which he planned to test and possibly share with the Empress and Giant Axe.

Qin Mu tested the Nine Revolutions Soul Lotus and planned how to distribute the remaining lotuses before the Dream Demon Ancestor was captured and killed by Realm Beast servants. The Original Universe Will then summoned Qin Mu to Purple Thorn Island and warned him that a crisis threatening the entire Universe Sea was approaching.

• Qin Mu swallowed a Nine Revolutions Soul Lotus, found its power too strong for his body, and used the Soul Network to strengthen ninety-seven Larva Nest Tyrants.

• A terrifying Realm Beast killed the Dream Demon Ancestor after she fell into the Dim Land.
• The three Ancestral Gods summoned Qin Mu to Purple Thorn Island, where a messenger of the Original Universe Will warned him that a crisis would soon sweep across the Universe Sea.

Qin Mu met with the Ancestral Gods after the Original Universe Will warned of a crisis in the Universe Sea. He learned that Qiu Yan Ancestral God and King Zhen Jia had been enslaved by a force in the Dim Land, but he refused to hunt them unless the Original Universe Will released Primal Ancestor.
