For ten years, Qin Hao had been constantly moving forward, his spaceship almost never stopping as he traversed the universe, openly advancing through the Outside Territory Battlefield.
Qin Hao's blatant advance attracted the attention of many alien races, and many of them focused on him. The constant battles added a lot of fun to Qin Hao's journey.
In particular, the chaotic races and creatures within the Outside Territory Battlefield truly broadened Qin Hao's horizons. At the same time, Qin Hao also found his next research direction: the genetic maps of various races.
All this time, Qin Hao's cultivation had focused more on laws, and the improvement of his genetic level was mostly a step-by-step cultivation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram. However, deeper research into the genetic level had not yet been conducted.
Now, the vast number of life forms from various races on the Outside Territory Battlefield became the most natural research subjects. The original work also contained genetic analysis diagrams, describing the genetic levels of various organisms beyond perfect genes, forming a complete divine body path.
However, these were too distant. What Qin Hao wanted to do was create a cultivation path that could be spread among the human race in the Primordial Universe, a path that could help humanity evolve.
Qin Hao didn't pay too much attention to cultivation beyond the perfect gene level. After all, that required not only resources but also talent and opportunities. Even with a complete genetic analysis diagram, only a very, very small fraction of people would be able to cultivate it.
Qin Hao was currently focused on a universally applicable growth path, one not rejected by the Primordial Universe. Moreover, Qin Hao had successful reference samples: himself, specifically his state when he completed the Congenital Dao Body transformation, combined with the cultivation method of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, and his research into the genetic maps of various races.
Qin Hao gradually achieved some results, which were more valuable than the cultivation method he gave to Primordial Chaos City Lord in Primordial Chaos City. After all, the simplified cultivation method from back then would still be rejected by the Primordial Universe, making it difficult to pass down orally, and requiring a great cost to transmit.
However, there was also an advantage: that cultivation method was more about cultivation, a state of high-level guidance, applicable to all stages. The current one, however, was foundational.
The reason for his strong interest in this research, besides for the human race, was also to further expand his research into the Ten Great Laws. The various creatures and manifestations in the universe are themselves part of the evolution of the universe's laws.
The study of creatures is also a study of the miraculous creation of laws. In the process of the Primordial Universe's evolution, each law was not completely separate, but rather evolved and changed continuously from a fused point, forming all things in the Primordial Universe.
Battles were constant along the way, and Qin Hao collected many life forms from various races. Each had a genetic level of 3 times or more, with the highest not exceeding 10 times.
After all, the basic genetic levels of most races are relatively low, and some special life forms with higher genetic levels are extremely rare.
For ten years, Qin Hao sailed and researched, leading a very fulfilling life. He even developed a rudimentary secret method. This secret method had no other effects; it only had one function: stimulating evolution. This was an accidental discovery, and even Qin Hao hadn't fully understood the reason for its formation.
However, within the secret method, one could clearly feel various laws intertwined. These laws were neither merged nor completely dispersed, existing in an elusive state.
Furthermore, the secret method's drawback was very clear: its uncontrollability. After activation, the direction and path of evolution were uncontrollable; it was purely a stimulus for evolution. Qin Hao applied it to many subjects, and almost all resulted in malignant evolution, ultimately leading to genetic collapse.
As he delved deeper into the Outside Territory Battlefield, Qin Hao's research gradually paused. After entering a new area, the enemies Qin Hao encountered also gradually grew stronger.
“Boom!” A huge burst of energy directly struck the spaceship from afar. Even a top-tier F-class spaceship couldn't help but tremble. The spaceship's energy rapidly decreased, and its defenses began to crumble.
Qin Hao instantly teleported outside the spaceship. He gathered his power, and a powerful force shot out, directly shattering and completely annihilating the energy that attacked the spaceship.
“They’re really troublesome, always playing hide-and-seek!” Qin Hao was quite speechless. He was using the most advanced detector, but there were still some who could evade it. After all, a detector wasn't omnipotent; it could scan all nearby enemies, but not absolutely all.
Some would even choose to enslave humans, then hide them in their world ring, acting as passersby to launch surprise attacks. Qin Hao had encountered such situations more than once.
After deflecting the attack, Qin Hao's figure instantly vanished from his original spot, reappearing a thousand miles away on a massive planetary fragment.
The giant planetary fragment was tens of thousands of kilometers in size. Inside the fragment, there were traces of stellar collisions and fusions, as well as the continuously erupting core of a star, constantly melting everything around it. The entire fragment was in a state where it could completely collapse at any moment.
“They certainly pick their spots,” Qin Hao said with a light chuckle, standing on the fragment. Without any hesitation or giving the attacker any chance, he drew his long sword and struck.
The power of the Wind Law, Time Law, and Space Law erupted, forming a powerful hurricane. Within the hurricane, wind blades formed by the Wind Law, spatial blades formed by the Space Law, and a chaotic time zone formed by the Time Law, with attacks that were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, pushed the storm's speed to its extreme.
The rapidly expanding storm swiftly swept towards the area ahead. The surrounding space even showed faint cracks. However, strangely, after the cracks appeared, they didn't completely tear, as if there was a force restraining the power of space.
“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”
A scream rang out, followed by curses and strong energy fluctuations from a violent collision. A massive flame surged in the hurricane's core, but under the hurricane, the flame grew weaker and weaker, gradually shrinking from a sea of fire to a tiny flicker.
A bizarre Monster Race creature, several hundred miles tall, appeared within the hurricane. Its red feathers, huge wings, and plumes were visible, and the fire in its eyes gradually dimmed as the flames on its body completely vanished. Its body began to gradually erode, and its entire form started to dissipate, leaving no trace behind.
Even so, the hurricane did not disappear. It swept across the entire stellar fragment, turning the tens of thousands of kilometers of planetary debris directly into dust, even extinguishing the scorching stellar core.
