You looked outside, waiting for Qin Hao's return.
A huge World Beast figure appeared, and even more striking was the person dragging the World Beast forward.
"Master is back! Did he really kill the third-order World Beast?"
You looked at the appearing Qin Hao and the World Beast behind him, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Master!"
When Qin Hao arrived at the hidden place, You quickly exited the cave and came before Qin Hao, respectfully saying.
Qin Hao didn't pay much attention, walking straight into the cave, placing the third-order World Beast in the center of the cave, and his aura began to change; the ethereal aura on him gradually dissipated, and the indifference and coldness in his eyes also gradually vanished.
Withdrawing from that state, Qin Hao couldn't help but let out a deep breath.
In that state of unity with nature, Qin Hao completely shielded his emotions, transforming himself into the Original Universe Will, devoid of any emotion, possessing only an instinctive state.
In this state, Qin Hao's control over his surroundings would reach its peak, as would his control over himself; his comprehension, will, and other aspects would all be strengthened.
However, this state was not without its cost.
If not fully mastered, prolonged periods in this state would gradually erode one's emotions and memories.
Only a strong will could maintain such a state without being completely controlled by it.
Currently, although Qin Hao's will had reached the level of a Void True God, he still couldn't completely control this state.
It was precisely to study the third-order World Beast and preserve its body that Qin Hao chose to enter this state.
This state was initially entered by Qin Hao during his time on Earth, but at first, the impact was not significant, and it could accelerate his comprehension of laws.
It was only with Qin Hao's continuous research and improvement that he achieved his current state.
Transcending the material world, everything was under complete control, as if he were in a God's perspective, watching his body instinctively command everything.
The result of indulging in it was to become an emotionless machine; if it were in the Primordial Universe, he might be assimilated by the Primordial Universe.
After exiting the state, Qin Hao's mind wavered for a moment, then fully recovered, and he began a new round of research.
The third-order World Beast represented a qualitative change from the Tier Two Realm Beast, with a significant improvement in its mastery of the world and considerable changes in its body.
Qin Hao didn't have time to research everything completely, so he could only focus all his attention on the World Beast's life structure diagram.
After all, this part played a significant role in his breakthrough to the 100,000-fold gene level.
Now, there wasn't much time left before he had to leave the Dark Land.
Completing the life structure diagram in a short time was crucial; as for You's transformation process, Qin Hao could only see if time was sufficient.
As Qin Hao entered his research state, You quickly retreated to the side.
The state Qin Hao was in when he entered just now made his heart pound.
As a World Beast, he inherently had no emotions, but the indifference and majesty in that state just now...
You felt as if he was an ant before his master, facing an extremely terrifying existence, unaffected by external things; everything in his eyes only had research value, or no value at all.
A thousand years passed in a flash, and Qin Hao remained immersed in his research.
The third-order World Beast was more complex than the first and second-order World Beasts; Qin Hao was analyzing every light spot in the 100,000-light-spot life structure diagram, and the changes within each super-miniature World Beast in the diagram, conducting a comprehensive analysis.
He even continuously studied the world within the World Beast's body, hoping to uncover the secrets of the World Beast race from it.
However, this process was clearly not that simple; the secrets of the World Beast were far from being completely understood so easily.
The only benefit it brought to Qin Hao was that his gene level increased again, reaching 92,000 times.
"You!" Qin Hao called out to his servant beside him.
"Master, what are your commands!" You quickly appeared beside Qin Hao, respectfully saying, with a hint of anticipation and joy in his tone.
For a thousand years, he had been waiting for this moment.
Once his master completed the research on the third-order World Beast, this third-order World Beast would become his nourishment for growth.
"Soon, I will also become a third-order one."
The increase in his strength would allow him to escape his low-level status among World Beasts and have greater room for growth in the future.
He was very clear in his heart that his talent was not high, and becoming a third-order one was almost impossible.
However, under his master's guidance, he now had the chance to become a third-order World Beast, to survive in the Dark Land, and perhaps even become a World Beast King in the future.
"Start devouring!" Qin Hao didn't say much, directly giving the command.
Time was pressing, and Qin Hao needed to seize the last moments, researching as much as he could, and returning to the Qingfeng Boundary Inner Domain before the mark completely disappeared.
The Dark Land was still too complex to stay for long, and World Beasts were too strange; leaving before being discovered was essential.
The vast numbers and strange methods, with every World Beast reaching the True God level, still made Qin Hao somewhat apprehensive.
Perhaps only after becoming a True God would the threat of the Dark Land be completely lifted for him.
Upon becoming a True God, Qin Hao's strength would also experience explosive growth.
With his comprehension of laws, comprehension of the source of laws, and a powerful body, Qin Hao was confident that he could construct an extremely powerful Small Universe; with multi-faceted enhancements, Qin Hao was confident that his strength could reach the level of a Void True God.
He might even be not far from the strength of an Eternal True God.
After all, at the perfect divine body level, becoming an Eternal True God was only a matter of time.
The Ten Great Laws Fusion could also advance further, and the power he could exert would become even stronger.
The transformation from Universe Lord to True God would be a new metamorphosis for Qin Hao.
He would also truly embark on his own path, be able to bear more powerful laws, and perhaps his strength would increase even faster.
Coupled with his progress in artifact refining, refining Supreme Treasures, Qin Hao's strength would also be comprehensively strengthened.
However, these were all matters for the future; currently, the most important thing was to continue researching the World Beast's transformation process, accumulating more insights for his own strength improvement, and laying a solid foundation for his path to becoming a perfect divine body.
On the path to the 100,000-fold gene level, there was very little external help one could rely on; it was more about one's own comprehension, opportunities, and even luck.
In the original work, Luo Feng's ability to break through and become a perfect divine body was also due to this.
