Over tens of thousands of years, the Four Races—Human Race, Monster Race, Insect Race, and Automaton Race—spent their time in a tense atmosphere.
The entire Primordial Universe's attention on the Four Races also increased, watching the conflicts between them.
Contrary to expectations of the Human Race being completely suppressed, more and more powerhouses emerged, with King-Level powerhouses rapidly increasing.
In fact, simply relying on the Champion powerhouses within their own race, they could now fight evenly with the other three races.
"The growth of Human Race Champion powerhouses is too rapid.
In the past ten thousand years, the number of Champions has increased by at least 30%, and each one's comprehension of laws is very strange, as if they are all following the Beast God Path."
"It is indeed strange.
The Beast God Path is extremely difficult; how could it be popularized?
Even the Elder God Cult couldn't suddenly create so many cultivators proficient in the Beast God Path."
"It seems the Human Race has secrets we don't know about.
We need to be wary of them."
"No need.
Even if the Human Race grows, the current resources make it difficult to foster more powerhouses.
This is already the limit for the Human Race.
With the constraints from the Monster Race, Insect Race, and Automaton Race, the Human Race has already reached its limit.
The accumulation of countless years should now be almost exhausted."
"That's right, the growth of powerhouses requires resource investment.
No race can cultivate so many powerhouses in a short period of time.
The Human Race is using its racial heritage."
"It's because the Monster Race, Insect Race, and Automaton Race have been pressing too hard.
For the past ten thousand years, the three races have been continuously accumulating strength, mobilizing vast resources, and even increasing their presence in the Outside Territory Battlefield, likely preparing to wage war against the Human Race."
"The more chaotic, the better.
It's better if they fight.
No matter which race ultimately wins, it will benefit us."
"Let's just wait for this war between the Four Races to conclude.
My race still has matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
As his voice fell, the surrounding divine power fluctuated, and a figure directly disappeared.
The remaining people also didn't linger, directly using their Divine Kingdoms for teleportation to leave.
The conflict between the Four Races proceeded under the attention of various forces, but after initial judgment, there wasn't too much further attention.
After all, none of the Four Races were easy to provoke; getting involved and being targeted would be more trouble than it was worth.
For other races and forces, it was a good thing as long as the Four Races were fighting each other, as it meant they didn't have to worry about the Four Races targeting other racial activities, and it also, to some extent, eroded the strength of the Four Races.
The outside world's turmoil did not affect Qin Hao.
After Qin Hao returned from Primordial Chaos City, he had been focused on artifact refining, and at the same time, he hadn't neglected his cultivation.
His comprehension of laws, cultivation of secret methods, and especially his research into the Eight Tribulation Lifeform, had led to certain insights in his cultivation, significantly improving his comprehension of the Source of Life.
In fact, for Qin Hao, completing the 100,000-gene level transformation made cultivation basically very easy.
Especially after comprehending a trace of Chaos Law, his comprehension of law fusion, Source of Life, Source of Destruction, Source of Time, Source of Space, and other aspects became very smooth; all that was needed was step-by-step accumulation.
What had kept Qin Hao at the threshold was the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
As the strongest cultivation technique in the Honghuang World, and also a technique for proving the Dao with strength, its power was immense, but its difficulty was also extremely high.
Moreover, Qin Hao still needed to find a way to cultivate it in this world based on the technique's foundation.
Mentions of this aspect in Swallowed Star are very rare; even cultivation beyond the True God stage is extremely rare, with more details found in the Origin Continent chapters.
However, in any world, proving the Dao with strength should be a viable path.
Breaking through everything, shattering everything, all insights would be condensed into the cultivator's strength, reaching unity, achieving sublimation, and completing transcendence.
The path of strength might seem like a brute's path, but its essence lies in understanding the world's nature to the extreme.
Strength is power, the power of laws is power, the Great Dao is power, the evolution of the Primordial Universe is the evolution of power, and it is power that drives all actions.
This is true for the Primordial Universe, for the Origin Continent, and likewise for the Primal Chaos World; it is the condensation of various forces, the foundation of all things.
The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique follows precisely this path, and the content it covers is also very complex, encompassing almost all aspects of cultivation, such as essence, qi, and spirit, as well as extensive expositions on laws.
For the current Qin Hao, only a small portion of it is comprehensible.
Qin Hao had also never stopped attempting to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, and he had only found a slight entry point.
It's worth noting that in Honghuang, those who cultivated similar techniques were few and far between; Erlang Shen's cultivation of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique was merely a simplified version of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, yet he achieved unparalleled combat power.
That achievement was only possible with the blessing of Erlang Shen's divine human bloodline; besides the Witch Race, very few others could cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
Qin Hao also achieved the 100,000-fold gene level, his divine body transformed, and with the 129,600 acupoints, Divine Kingdom, and Star Gods opened by the Zhou Tian Star Array, and then the conversion from divine power life to flesh and blood life, his potential further accumulated, making the cultivation of this technique possible.
Qin Hao even felt that perhaps it was because he had achieved all of this that he obtained the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
Initially, Qin Hao was very happy about his golden finger, having the means and opportunity to change everything.
However, the deeper his cultivation, the more doubts he had about the golden finger.
After all, what kind of existence is this?
Or rather, what kind of existence could have accomplished all of this?
He originally thought that as his cultivation continuously improved, he would gradually approach the truth and find some clues.
However, even after becoming a True God, with strength comparable to an Eternal True God and will comparable to a Chaos Master, there were still no clues.
"No matter what kind of existence it is, or what its purpose is, even if I am a chess piece, only by being strong enough can I have more choices," Qin Hao thought, as chaotic airflow continuously entered his meridians, circulating through them.
Strands of chaos qi were gradually transformed into a new power.
Please... you... collect _ (Six \ \ \ Nine \ \ \ Book \ \ \ Bar!)
This power constantly flowed through his meridians, passing through every meridian and acupoint, finally returning to his dantian.
With the completion of the first cycle, Qin Hao felt as if he had returned to Earth, to the scene of his first cultivation.
His entire being was gradually enveloped by a warm power, as chaotic airflow continuously disappeared from his Small Universe, merging into Qin Hao's body.
The originally slow Zhou Tian Star Array also began to operate rapidly, and the chaotic airflow within hundreds of light-years around him began to be continuously devoured by his Small Universe, forming a huge storm.
