After completing the visualization of 95,000 Star Gods and the creation of the God Kingdom, Qin Hao's internal Star God and genetic level reached a state of equivalence.
Even after tens of millions of years of comprehending Fusion Laws and Chaos Law, this state had not yet been fully integrated.
Qin Hao once again entered the enhancement of his genetic level, proceeding more cautiously with each step: Star God, God Kingdom creation, and then driving changes in the genetic level.
Especially under the evolution of the secret method, Qin Hao's genetic level improved much faster.
However, even if it was much faster, it was only relatively speaking.
At this point, each genetic level enhancement was extremely slow and extremely dangerous.
One careless mistake could lead to genetic collapse and the complete destruction of the divine body.
During his previous enhancement processes, Qin Hao nearly caused his divine body to completely collapse several times.
However, he managed to overcome these challenges with the energy support of the Star Tears, which had already merged with the Nuwa Visualization Chart in his sea of consciousness.
Now, he was still several thousand times away from the 100,000-fold genetic level, but such situations could continue to occur at every step.
Even Qin Hao did not know when the meteor tear in his body would no longer be able to sustain him.
Within his sea of consciousness, Qin Hao once again arrived at the simple check-in interface.
He had originally planned to wait until he truly needed something before trying his luck again.
Qin Hao also discovered that although the check-in rewards were varied, most of the time, they were what he needed at a certain stage and were given according to his growth path.
The check-in opportunity at the Universe Boat had been refreshed, but Qin Hao had not chosen to check in, unsure of what he might need.
Now, facing an increasingly dangerous path, Qin Hao had no choice but to use his only remaining check-in opportunity.
In the sea of consciousness, on the simple panel, Qin Hao directly pressed the check-in button.
“Check-in successful, Check-in location: Universe Boat, Check-in reward: Star Tree!”
Before Qin Hao could clearly see the check-in reward, a stream of light appeared directly, then merged into Qin Hao's divine body.
As the stream of light entered Qin Hao's divine body, it quickly merged with it, began to continuously absorb the divine power within Qin Hao's divine body, and continued to grow.
At the same time, the stars within Qin Hao's divine body also began to connect with this stream of light, and wisps of divine power began to merge into the stream of light.
The stream of light seemed to have taken root within Qin Hao's divine body, rapidly growing from a seed into a towering tree.
The tree was a light-year tall, incredibly massive.
Outside its trunk, there were 365 branches, and each branch had countless smaller sub-branches.
Each of the 365 main branches was adorned with huge fruits, and each smaller sub-branch also bore smaller fruits.
“Is this the Star Tree? Each fruit represents a star, and also every star within my body.” Qin Hao felt the giant tree within his body, a sense of awe in his heart.
He could feel that after the Star Tree appeared in his divine body, the Star God Kingdom within his divine body began to stabilize, and the connections between them became even tighter.
Furthermore, after the Star Tree absorbed his divine power and completed its growth, its roots began to delve into the void, continuously absorbing chaotic airflow and converting it into divine power, constantly replenishing his consumption.
“With the blessing of the Star Tree, I can now break through with all my might.” Qin Hao felt much more relaxed.
For Qin Hao, those countless stars were the result of his cultivation progress, but they were also an immense burden, making it possible for Qin Hao to collapse at any moment, and these stars would also collapse, potentially even leading to his own demise.
Now, with the Star Tree to stabilize them, Qin Hao had no more worries.
After each star formed, it established a connection with the Star Tree and began to stabilize.
Qin Hao's mind also began to focus on the enhancement of his genetic level.
With each star condensed, his genetic level received an enhancement.
One hundred million years passed, and Qin Hao's genetic level increased to 96,000 times.
To reach 97,000 times, Qin Hao spent 150 million years; to reach 98,000 times, Qin Hao spent 200 million years; to reach 99,000 times, the time was stretched to 300 million years.
Each growth became increasingly slow, but Qin Hao felt no anxiety in his heart.
Although the time was slow, the enhancement was truly happening.
And with a time flow rate of ten million times, Qin Hao's 100 million years was only 10 years in the outside world.
Qin Hao could foresee that this speed would become even slower.
The enhancement of the genetic level, especially under such extreme conditions, was extremely slow.
Each time required the consumption of enormous energy and an extremely long period of evolution to successfully enhance.
This was still with the blessing of the Star Tree; otherwise, just the pressure and operation of over 90,000 stars would have put Qin Hao in perilous situations.
Qin Hao's enhancement was fundamentally different from that of life in the Universe Sea and Origin Continent.
On the Origin Continent, even Luo Feng, conducted research on various life forms, continuously creating and researching through avatars to evolve.
Each evolution was fraught with danger, and it was only due to the avatars' abilities that their lives were ensured.
Qin Hao's growth process was more of a cultivation state, promoting his own evolution through the blessings of the Star Formation and the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, coupled with his research into the Source of Life, the Source of Destruction, and Chaos Law.
Comparing these two, one researched bloodlines, and the other researched cultivation techniques, much like the body-tempering and physical cultivation techniques in various novels that enhance one's strength.
However, Qin Hao's process was more complex and more dangerous.
After reaching 99,000 times, Qin Hao could already feel that he was on the edge of his limit, potentially collapsing at any moment.
The speed of Star God condensation slowed down, the speed of God Kingdom creation slowed down, and the speed of genetic enhancement also became much slower.
Each genetic evolution was ten times slower than before.
In 100 million years, what could have been several hundred times the genetic level only increased by less than a hundred times, and at each hurdle, the rate of increase slowed down again.
A full 1 billion years passed before Qin Hao's genetic level reached 99,500 times.
Qin Hao could feel that he was now at the very edge of his limits.
Whether it was his body, soul, or will, they would all undergo immense trials in the coming period.
He might even be pushed to the point of collapse.
It was even unknown whether he would be able to complete the transformation to the 100,000-fold genetic level at that point.
“Persevere or give up, and wait for the next opportunity?” Qin Hao kept asking himself.
If he broke through now, there was a chance of success.
If he stopped, he would be safe, and with his current genetic level, he would be extremely high in the Origin Continent; becoming a True God, Chaos Master, or God King would only be a matter of time.
However, giving up, Qin Hao felt more unwillingness in his heart.
He had always been very smooth, and the number of times he truly struggled was very small.
Although there was a crisis now, it wasn't without opportunity.
If he gave up now, would he still be himself?
