Chen Yuan had never heard of a special life form with an active evolutionary genetic level before.
If we're talking about a similar being in the original work, the only one that comes to mind is the Beast of the Realm.
However, the "Soul Devouring Domain Beast" is much weaker than the Realm Beast. Although both can evolve on their own, one can only improve its gene level, and its upper limit is only a factor of the gene.
The evolution of the Beasts is even more mysterious, as if it is a perfect path set by the supreme rules. As the evolutionary rank increases, not only will their strength increase, but they will also gain various troublesome special abilities.
Especially when a World Beast evolves to the sixth rank, it can create "tens of millions of clones," making it almost impossible to kill.
Compared to the Realm Beasts, the Soul Devouring Beasts are much more ordinary. Even the Soul Devouring Beasts that have evolved to their peak are not as good as the newly born first-tier Realm Beasts.
Of course, it is too early to discuss the Beast of the Realm. In fact, the ability to evolve into a clone of a perfect life form has far exceeded Chen Yuan's expectations.
He doesn't expect all his clones to reach the perfect life level, which is 10081 times the genetic potential.
There are two reasons: First, the original universe's gift is only given once, and even if all the clones are perfect life forms, they can only obtain one secret technique bestowed by the original universe.
Secondly, once a true god is achieved in the future, all the clones will be unified, and even if the clones have extraordinary abilities, they will lose their function at the true god stage.
Therefore, for Chen Yuan, it is enough to have one clone that can achieve perfect life. Even if there are other perfect life clones, they are just icing on the cake.
He had originally set his sights on creating a perfect life clone, which was the Nine Nether Blood Sea.
After all, the original work has already proven that the combination of the Nether Sea Clone and the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is the strongest configuration for a clone, so Chen Yuan has no reason not to choose it.
The discovery of this Soul-Devouring Beast was an unexpected surprise, because having confirmed the perfect genetic clone, it didn't have high requirements for the genes of its other clones, but instead valued the clones' innate secret techniques more.
The Soul Devouring Domain Beast's innate secret techniques perfectly suited his needs. Leaving aside its devouring evolution ability and formless transformation, its [Spatial Domain] talent was definitely a top-tier spatial secret technique.
With this single talent, Chen Yuan can freely unleash the three profound mysteries of space without comprehending the laws of space. Moreover, with the blessing of the spatial domain, his teleportation is completely unaffected by the enemy's spatial blockade, which is consistent with the situation of Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone after obtaining the [Domain] talent.
Or rather, the spatial domain is the perfect form of the domain.
Therefore, Chen Yuan did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to exchange. After deducting 3800 Treasure Points, a piece of skin with incomplete secret patterns rose from the stone plate.
Lord Youhou seemed surprised by Chen Yuan's decisive choice, and sighed softly, shaking his head, "Junior brother, you chose too quickly. I haven't even told you about the flaws of this clone yet."
"Oh?"
Chen Yuan stored the piece of skin into his core, and then asked curiously, "I didn't find any flaws in the description of this clone. Could the description of the treasure vault be wrong?"
"No, not at all." Lord Youhou shook his head. "It's just that some flaws in the treasure vault are clearly stated, while others are difficult to describe."
"Please enlighten me, senior brother."
Chen Yuan respectfully sought advice.
"Since you've already made your choice, let me tell you what I think. If you don't think it's a good fit after listening, just sell it back. At most, you'll lose some transaction fees."
Lord Youhou paused for a moment, then continued, "This clone has two major flaws, one overt and one covert."
"The obvious flaw has already been mentioned in the treasure vault information: in order for this 'Soul Devouring Domain Beast' to evolve, it must devour a special life form and absorb the other's genetic information."
"This Devouring talent is different from creating clones; it has strict requirements on the life form of the devoured."
Youhou glanced at Chen Yuan: "If you only feed it with remains, the growth potential of this clone will be negligible. But if you feed it with complete special life forms..."
"You've also seen the price of special life forms that are less than a thousand times the price of living beings. Although the value of a physical body is lower than that of a living body, it won't be much cheaper; it's always about one-tenth of the price."
Chen Yuan seemed to understand something, and then heard Youhou continue, "Many geniuses have tried to nurture Soul-Devouring Beasts, but most of them ended in failure."
"The only one who succeeded was unable to meet the growth needs of his clones, thus wasting a clone slot and ultimately perishing in regret."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan ignored the genius who had failed in his attempt to cultivate the Soul Devouring Domain Beast and instead asked, "How can you fail to cultivate a Soul Devouring Domain Beast? This clone's initial genes are only 300 times stronger, right?"
"This is my second point, and it's something that wasn't mentioned in the treasure trove."
Lord Youhou said in a deep voice, "The difficulty of nurturing a Soul-Devouring Beast avatar is far greater than that of a special life form with a genetic level 300 times higher."
"The sole survivor stated that nurturing a Soul-Devouring Beast was more difficult than nurturing a clone of the 'Frost Whale' with 6800 times the genetic value, equivalent to at least seven or eight thousand times the difficulty of nurturing a special life form."
"In other words, even if the original body's genetic level is not low, one must also possess the universe's top-tier clone technique to succeed."
At this point, Youhou looked at Chen Yuan, his tone hesitant: "Junior Brother, your clone technique—"
"Don't worry, senior brother."
Chen Yuan glanced inside the primordial core. Under the 300x acceleration of the Primordial Palace, this clone had officially begun to take shape. He didn't feel any difficulty at all, so he smiled and said, "I can still shape a clone of this level."
"Looks like you've succeeded? What about the cost of cultivating the clone—"
"Senior brother, don't worry, I have my own plans." Chen Yuan shook his head.
Seeing this, Youhou stopped trying to persuade him and nodded, saying, "Alright, then I wish you a smooth evolution of this clone."
"Now that the choice of your clones is complete, are you ready to leave, Junior Brother?"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "I need to take another look, after all, I still have 1200 Treasure Points left to spend."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, we won't need your senior brother's permission to help us from now on. If you have something to do, you can leave now."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."
Seemingly sensing that Chen Yuan's next choice involved private matters, Youhou did not inquire further. He nodded in acknowledgment and turned to leave the main hall. As the doors opened and closed, only Chen Yuan remained in the hall.
Without hesitation, he bought all the remaining special life remains on the screen. These remains were not expensive; the most expensive one was only 115 treasure points.
The purchase of all the wreckage cost a total of 700 Treasure Points, leaving 500 Treasure Points remaining.
Then Chen Yuan selected special life remains with a gene ratio of over 100 times. This made the selection on the screen much richer, and the prices were all very cheap, starting from 0.1 Treasure Points.
However, Chen Yuan noticed that although he selected special life forms with a gene ratio of over 100, the screen displayed life forms with a gene ratio of over 500.
"Special life remains below 500 times the value are not worth much, so they are not qualified to be included in the clan's treasure trove."
Chen Yuan quickly realized this, "If that's the case, then the remains of ordinary special life forms should be in the company's vault, and sure enough, they were found."
The remains of these ordinary and special life forms are not expensive. The cheapest one is less than ten million Chaos Units, and the most expensive one is only a few billion.
This amount of money was nothing to Chen Yuan now, and he quickly swept away all the special life remains in the two treasure troves.
The Hunyuan unit spent tens of billions to purchase these wreckages, but only had 98 Treasure Points left.
"That's about it. By optimizing these remains through the system and then using primordial energy to complete the body, it should be enough for the Soul Devouring Beast's avatar to evolve."
That's right, this is the source of Chen Yuan's confidence in cultivating the Soul Devouring Domain Beast clone.
Just as the Nine Doubts Abyss was restored through the system, optimizing these special life remains can also restore the complete body of special life forms.
"I only have 98 Treasure Points left. I doubt I can buy anything useful with them, so I'll leave and wait."
Just as Chen Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, closed the materials page, and opened the Treasures category.
"This precious treasure is indeed kept in the clan's treasury."
Chen Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the screen:
【Sealing Stars: A powerful treasure of the sealing type, produced by the Star Tower, possessing sealing power.】
[Current Price: 32 Treasure Points/piece]
"I have almost all the kinds of treasures I possess, except for the 'seal-type' treasure."
"Moreover, a normal palace of supreme treasures should have the ability to suppress and seal, but my Shiyuan Palace does not, which is unreasonable."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan bought a Star-Sealing Pill without hesitation. After buying it, he found that there were still some left in the treasure vault, so he bought two more, spending all his treasure points until he only had 2 left.
"In this way, we can add the sealing ability when optimizing the Origin Hall next time."
Speaking of sealing abilities, he had already collected a lot of relevant information from those 16480 ordinary treasures, so he shouldn't lack references.
However, considering the special nature of the Star Tower, and the fact that even the 'Yuan' was involved in the forging of this God-King level weapon, then the 'Suppressing Stars' as its derivative might also possess some special properties.
Anyway, since this thing is a valuable treasure and not expensive, Chen Yuan decided to buy it without hesitation.
"Shopping is finished, time to go."
After putting away the three sealing stars, Chen Yuan left the main hall. However, he did not leave Chaos City. Instead, he found a place to stay and settled down there temporarily.
Thanks to the time acceleration effect of the Primordial Palace, the gestation speed of his first clone was greatly accelerated. The gestation process, which originally required nearly 500 years, can now be completed in just one and a half years.
During this time, Chen Yuan was not idle; instead, he began to optimize the special life remains he had obtained one by one.
Since these remains are all World Lord-level life forms, they are classified as Tier 5 items according to the system. Therefore, the amount of primordial energy consumed each time is negligible, basically equal to the energy gained from the Holy Embryo Breathing.
During this time, Chen Yuan also took the time to break through the Heavenly Bridge and successfully cleared the 20th floor, but was ultimately defeated by the guardian of the 21st floor.
He also took advantage of the new opportunity to study the Primordial Chaos Stele again, and gained a lot from it.
His understanding of the laws has now reached the King-level, corresponding to the sixth image of the Chaos Stele, which is the part he was unable to comprehend before.
After comprehending the sixth diagram, Chen Yuan had no more doubts about the laws of the King Conferment stage. He only needed to follow the steps to steadily reach level 20.
And so he settled down in Chaos City again, focusing on comprehending the laws.
A year and a half passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Chen Yuan had basically digested all the gains from comprehending the Chaos Stele, allowing the Law of Time to advance further on the basis of the 18th level.
Meanwhile, after hundreds of years of gestation (time within the Shiyuan Hall), his first clone was finally born!
