Chapter 588: 9th Rank, the Plan to Usurp the Nest Succeeds
Chapter 588: 9th Rank, the Plan to Usurp the Nest Succeeds
In the shining universe, a vast mental network, constructed by countless 8th Rank Star Gods, covers all star regions.
Qin Muye silently observed this scene. The Cosmic Will was drawing on the consciousness of the Star Gods to regain its 9th Rank status.
"Finally, it has begun. All my preparations have not been in vain."
As the usurper, he could also sense the gradual transformation of this mental network into a totalitarian hivemind.
And that consciousness was the Cosmic Will returning to its peak.
"This is quite a unique feeling. So, this is what 9th Rank is like."
Although the Cosmic Will was regaining its strength, the true beneficiary was Qin Muye.
The foundation of the Cosmic Will was the Star Gods, but both the Star Gods and the mental network were derivatives of Qin Muye's avatar. Therefore, in essence, the Cosmic Will was helping Qin Muye enhance himself. The Cosmic Will, due to its reduced power and lack of experience, had not noticed any issues.
The entire universe was trembling slightly, as if welcoming the return of the former will. Qin Muye, hidden in the shadows, found the situation somewhat strange.
"Having come this far, why hasn't it noticed yet?"
Qin Muye felt the essence of the universe being devoured by his Abyssal Will. The universe was gradually taking on a chaotic appearance.
Countless forces of the Abyss began to emerge in the void, and he was gradually supplanting the Cosmic Will.
"We are both wills. You are the Cosmic Will, and I am the Abyssal Will. We are one and the same." Qin Muye couldn't help but smile, and then his massive form spanned the entire universe, taking control of the hivemind that had already formed.
In that instant, all the Star Gods were crushed, and a vast power surged upward, first passing through the Cosmic Will, but soon it became a mere relay, directly transmitting the power to Qin Muye.
"Thief, you despicable thief, you have stolen my power!!!"
A terrifying roar accompanied by rage erupted, and numerous star regions were shattered into ruins by the storm of sound.
"Hmm, yes, so what?" Qin Muye casually remarked, and then, with a twisted claw, he pressed down the powerless and enraged Cosmic Will, forcing it to obediently serve as a relay.
The moment Qin Muye obtained the highest authority of the hivemind and began to gradually replace the Cosmic Will, everything was already decided.
The vast hivemind left by the Star Gods became his tool for absorption. As long as Qin Muye absorbed all the power the Star Gods provided to the Cosmic Will, he would be at the halfway mark of 9th Rank, with the remaining half naturally falling to the Cosmic Will.
The Cosmic Will was extremely frustrated. It had never imagined that someone would come along and hijack its plan. It had already eradicated all life in the universe for this very purpose.
Once it had regained its peak, it could easily create life and develop civilization again.
Unfortunately, it had been targeted by Qin Muye from the start.
To blame was its own allure; Qin Muye was truly covetous of its essence.
Qin Muye's body continued to expand, and his indescribable aura grew increasingly dense. The concept of the Abyss gradually spread, and countless forces of the Abyss permeated the entire shining universe.
"Let me go, you shameless thief!"
"You dare to—"
Listening to the Cosmic Will's curses, Qin Muye mumbled to himself, "What's up with this thing? Why does it repeat the same two sentences? Is it because it has been imprisoned for too long, leading to a decrease in intelligence?"
"Or has it simply never experienced these things, so it only knows these few sentences?"
Qin Muye just listened without intending to retort. After all, he had done so much to the Cosmic Will; it was only natural for it to curse a bit. He wasn't a domineering CEO; he was practically devouring the Cosmic Will, so he couldn't deny it even a moment of satisfaction before the end.
In this regard, Qin Muye was quite reasonable. As long as the stakes were high enough, he would let the Cosmic Will curse to its heart's content. At most, he would privately mock it a bit and openly admit his mistakes, but he wouldn't change his ways.
Strangely enough, the Cosmic Will's efficiency seemed to improve significantly after cursing. Qin Muye estimated that in three to five days, the Cosmic Will's remaining legacy would be completely absorbed by him.
"An 8th Rank server is truly exceptional. The feeling of gaining power from a 9th Rank being is even more exhilarating than devouring an entire world."
Qin Muye felt his strength not just increasing, but rather, inflating like a balloon. After all, he was inheriting the power of the Cosmic Will, not devouring it, so he naturally received it in every aspect.
"Universal Abyssalization, tsk~"
Watching the gradually twisting shining universe, Qin Muye couldn't help but sigh. He really wasn't cut out for management. As soon as he took the position of CEO, the entire shining universe experienced a massive decline. It was all because of him.
This shining universe was originally vibrant and lively, though a bit crippled, it was still a normal world. But after he inherited it, it deteriorated to this state, truly a world-destroyer.
Ten days passed in a flash, and the entire universe fell into endless distortion. Now, the entire universe was in Qin Muye's hands, as if it were a part of him.
The Cosmic Will was thoroughly drained, barely able to muster the energy to curse, which left Qin Muye somewhat helpless: "This is because you cursed yourself to exhaustion. It has nothing to do with me. I didn't say a single word in response for the past ten days."
His massive form loomed before the weakened Cosmic Will, and an indescribable aura twisted the surrounding environment.
"You—"
"Don't 'you' me. Do you have any last words? Speak them, at least leave a memory," Qin Muye said kindly.
He had already inherited the Cosmic Will's legacy, but the Cosmic Will was still alive, which was a bit awkward. He needed to fix this bug.
"Forget it. You should be the one who doesn't want to talk. Don't worry, I'll be quick."
Qin Muye extended his claw, grabbed the Cosmic Will, and stuffed it into his vast Abyssal body.
The Cosmic Will's last thought before disappearing was: "Quick? Shouldn't it be 'swift'?"
What a smooth entrance, a single gulp, and it was instantly devoured. Qin Muye instantly parsed a large amount of data related to the 9th Rank.
His magic underwent a qualitative change, and his concepts evolved. Qin Muye successfully reached the 9th Rank. There were no heavenly phenomena, as the entire universe had already been Abyssalized, and he was the greatest anomaly.
"Damn, how do I get back to Xuanjun's body now???" Qin Muye's first thought after becoming stronger was this.
With his current strength, he could easily defeat countless versions of himself from a minute ago.
He truly dominated the entire 8th Rank server.
Unfortunately, the 8th Rank was already dead. Now, the entire shining universe server was left with only his faction.
"The will activity in the stars has ended, and it granted me ten customizable territory traits. I'll choose them when I have time."
"So, I really prevented the world-ending crisis, even though I messed up the entire server."
Qin Muye felt somewhat helpless. The outcome was good, but why did the development go so differently from what he imagined?
"Oh, there's still one more world-ending crisis. I need to resolve it as soon as possible."
"Why is there a Heroic Golden Treasure Chest in my inventory? Where did it come from?"
Looking at the sudden appearance of the Heroic Golden Treasure Chest in his inventory, he was puzzled but quickly understood.
"It's the Cosmic Will. This guy was 8th Rank when he died, and the territory was 7th Rank. According to 'The Lord Era,' I overleveled the kill. Plus, the will's death has a treasure chest drop mechanism. Alright, I got a treasure chest."
Qin Muye's strength wasn't counted in the territory's rank, so even though he was now 9th Rank, in 'The Lord Era's' judgment, he was still 7th Rank Champion level.
"I'll have the sprite open it when I have time. Right now, the most important thing is to perfect Xuanjun's body, or I won't even be able to enter the territory."
His body was so large that it filled the entire shining universe and was still expanding. After becoming 9th Rank, he continued to grow stronger, and the expansion of his body was part of that growth.
So, he couldn't just let it continue unchecked.
"Folded state is a good thing. It's exactly what I need. Otherwise, it would really be a headache."
