Chapter 1340: Chapter 349: All Things Furnace, Blood Sacrifice of the Lone Power

But the tribe members never did it.

The goal was to ensure that the ascension of the rule and its birth happened simultaneously.

After that, the Blood Stone Rule became part of his body.

And this step was also a crucial one for the All Things Furnace.

Eternal then raised his right hand, threads of blood mist gathered in his palm, forming a Blood Stone.

After the Blood Stone ascended to a rule, it birthed a new ability.

It could create something from nothing, nurturing pure Qi Blood Power anytime, anywhere.

That is to say, even if it did nothing, the Life Strength would continue growing under the nourishment of the Blood Stone within.

This process would continue even in an energy-less environment, as the derivation of the Blood Stone Rule would not cease.

This was the rule-level power generated in the barren lands of the Hometown World, catalyzed by the will of countless generations of beings.

But that alone was not enough.

Golden light glinted in Eternal’s eyes, and countless fine blood-colored patterns appeared on the Blood Stone’s surface, pulsing like blood vessels.

On it was the cultivation method developed by analyzing countless races’ life structures.

They imprinted it onto the Blood Stone Rule.

In the future, through this method, he could enhance the absorption and conversion efficiency of resources.

The tribe named this cultivation method: Blood and Flesh Furnace.

In the eyes of the tribe, a lone powerhouse is like a solitary peak; without the support of a group, even if it pierces through the Cang Qiong, it cannot withstand the continuous crush of chain peaks.

And behind this Blood and Flesh Furnace cultivation method lies the ultimate scheme bought by countless failures of the Evil Gu Clan.

It paved a growth path that, in a lone strong mode, does not lag behind the mainstream development model but even surpasses it.

Because, from its inception, this cultivation method contained a double lock.

Those beings that absorb Blood Stone Energy can indeed grow rapidly with the aid of rule-derived energy, but every cycle of Qi Blood flow, every life evolution will be imperceptibly rewritten by the Blood Stone in their life structure.

As they grow swiftly, the hidden mechanism is already quietly in place.

When their offspring are born, the energy pathway of the Blood Stone will also remain within them.

Even other beings that devour them will also have the Blood Stone Energy and pathway within their bodies.

It’s like a virus, expanding infinitely, spreading far and wide.

Countless beings and tribes are unknowingly woven into a vast network with the Blood Stone Rule as its nodes.

Every being is a "furnace" within the network, growing with the help of the Blood Stone Rule while also accumulating sacrificial power for the rule’s ultimate outbreak.

For example, the small tribe that just absorbed the Blood Stone.

If this tribe perishes soon, the energy of the Blood Stone Rule will transfer to the other beings that consume them.

If this tribe can break through the shackles of life and achieve dominance.

The Blood Stone Energy will continue to grow with them.

When they reproduce, the placenta within the mother will entwine with the Blood Stone pathway, imprinting "Blood Stone compatibility" into the chain of the new genes. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Even if one day, this tribe possesses rules stronger than the Blood Stone and wishes to sever this connection, they will find that their flesh and blood have long merged with the Blood Stone pathway.

Forceful separation will not lead to rebirth, but to the collapse of their life structure.

The first generation of beings might still have hope.

But by the second generation, third generation... the Blood Stone Rule will become the backdrop of their life.

Even if a strong individual breaks free from their shackles and wishes to rewrite the tribe’s destiny, they will despairingly find.

That the life structure of their offspring has long been locked by the Blood Stone Rule.

In the bodies of the newborn, every vein follows the Blood Stone’s laws, and even overlaying with stronger rules is merely painting over the backdrop of the Blood Stone pathway.

Unless, one can freely reshape flesh and blood, otherwise, the shackles of the Blood Stone will only deepen.

And this change, unless one possesses rule-level analysis ability, cannot be discovered merely through perception or other investigations.

Someday in the future, when it needs to break through higher life shackles,

It will only take a "Blood Sacrifice" ultimate command within the Blood Stone for the vast net spanning Monster World to instantly tighten.

By then, all beings that have grown using Blood Stone Energy, all descendants flowing with Blood Stone pathways, all existences that have devoured Blood Stone Energy... will all disintegrate in a moment, transforming into furnaces burning themselves, then converging into a massive wave of blood-colored energy, surging toward itself following the instructions of the Blood Stone Rule.

And it only needs to open its mouth at the peak of the wave, inhaling this gift condensed with the strength of countless beings, and under the supporting flame of billions of beings, complete a new round of life breakthrough.

This method perfectly solves the most fatal problem of the "lone strong mode": lack of tribe supply.

The wild wind on the mountaintop swept the blood mist across Eternal’s fingertips, he lowered his head, gazing at the Blood Stone in his palm.

Inside it reflected the shadows of countless beings growing under the rule.

To these beings, the "Blood and Flesh Furnace" is a shortcut to their life evolution.

But to it, this is a power to achieve eternity.

In the future, there will be no need for tribal support, because everything in the world is its provider.

All beings that have absorbed Blood Stone Energy, their lifetime struggle, growth, opportunities, reproduction... will all pave the Ascension God Stairs for it.

...

Primordial Altar.

After understanding the Evil Gu Insect Clan’s divine ascension plan in detail, Qi Sheng applauded in his heart.

Even the Guidance with a broad perspective praised repeatedly.

The rise of the Evil Gu Insect Clan is legendary.

A humble tribe carved out a road to heaven with millennia of endurance amid the bastions of strong clans.

From insects struggling in decayed earth, to the dissection and experimentation of countless racial bodies, then planning for god creation and using all things as furnaces.

Generation after generation of the Evil Gu Clan stacked as the cornerstone, uplifting successors higher.

Each generation treading on the corpses of forebears, then becoming fuel for the next.

In this alternative life relay heritage, there are no tragic roars, only silent bearing.

Like marching ants in the desert, paving a cool road on the scorching sands with successive bodies.

The dead become bridges, the living tread on the shriveled bodies of their kin to keep moving forward.

In the nearly humble effort, the whole tribe never calculates individual gains and losses, only considers themselves as mediums for life inheritance.

But what Qi Sheng valued was this tribe’s layout for the future.

This world has many growth system templates to learn from.

But the Evil Gu Insect Clan did not choose to borrow the east wind, instead insisting on creating a tempest sweeping the heavens and earth.

Guidance then spoke, words carrying rare praise:

[I’ve seen many forces that "use the tribe as fuel", the Ascension Clan does, choosing to sacrifice the present generation, nurturing the most potential next generation, but this is only relying on sacrifice to achieve successors, as for the future of newborn tribe members, they only have hope, but have no means to support their growth, completely incomparable to the layout of the Evil Gu Insect Clan... If not limited by the environment, this Evil Gu Insect Clan might indeed have the potential to rise as a dominant power on a continent.]

[For a weak tribe to have such a grand future layout, it’s truly rare.]

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng couldn’t help but nod.

Obviously the most humble of insects, yet daring to dream the most arrogant dreams, but against all odds, these dreams were turned into reality step by step... it’s truly admirable.

At this moment, Qi Sheng even had the thought of recruiting Eternal as a player.

Compared to other beings, Eternal was also the only special being that could be crafted with minimal sacrificial power, directly into a player’s body.

Because its body, from its very inception, was close to the concept of a pure body.

After recruiting, merely integrating the Challenger System into this body would allow it to become a player, and have a unique destiny: Blood Stone.

However, whether to decide on recruitment, Eternal’s current performance alone is not enough.

The initial series of grand layouts were all the actions of the Evil Gu Clan; he wanted to see how this Eternal, fused with the collective consciousness of the Evil Gu Clan, would perform in the Monster World.
