Before long, Luo Fan began setting up tasks.
His incarnations also started tempering their will.
Although incarnations could not comprehend laws,
simply tempering will was still not a problem.
After all, the will of the incarnations was identical to that of the Spatial Worm incarnation.
The will cultivation of the main body and the two incarnations had always been the same.
After receiving task rewards, the will of both the main body and the incarnations would improve.
Before long, Luo Fan felt his will reach a limit.
After claiming the accumulated rewards, he immediately felt his soul relax, as if he had broken through some bottleneck.
A task completion notification also sounded in his mind.
After receiving the rewards, Luo Fan began accepting the mental state insights.
This time, there were an enormous number of insights.
It felt as though he had fallen into tens of thousands of reincarnations, experiencing countless different lives.
Seeing this, the incarnations quickly set up another task.
[Task: Mental state cultivation reaches the second level. Reward: Intermediate Will Talent +100, Reincarnation Fruit ×10]
No one knew how long passed before Luo Fan finally woke up.
He discovered that the mental state cultivation on the system panel, which had originally been at the first level, had become the second level.
A task completion notification had already sounded in his mind earlier.
It was just that he had been immersed in receiving those mental state insights at the time,
so he had ignored it.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with delight.
He had not expected that this time, his mental state cultivation would also improve along the way.
After the mental state cultivation increased, training his will and resisting illusions would become much easier in the future.
Moreover, he had obtained ten Reincarnation Fruits.
He had obtained this Reincarnation Fruit before as well.
At that time, it was also from completing a mental state cultivation task.
The function of the Reincarnation Fruit was very simple.
It allowed a person to experience reincarnation.
Furthermore, the stronger one's mental state and will, the more reincarnations could be experienced, and the greater the gains.
However, if one's mental state and will were not strong enough, after reincarnation, one would lose the true self.
The system had even specifically warned back then that if one's will had not reached the Immortal level, its use was not recommended.
Luo Fan planned to use it later.
After all, the later this thing was used, the greater its effect.
He guessed that the effect of the Reincarnation Fruit should be even better than receiving these mental state insights from the system.
The ten million mental state insights he had just received directly caused his mental state cultivation to soar.
While receiving the insights, he felt as if he had already experienced reincarnation.
As for the Reincarnation Fruit, using it later might produce an even better effect than this round of insight absorption.
He took a look and found that not only had his mental state cultivation improved,
his will cultivation had also reached the Immortal level (13.22334455%).
Normally speaking, right after breaking through, will cultivation would not increase by much.
Yet this time, his will cultivation had directly increased by more than ten percent.
This should have been the increase in will cultivation brought about by the improvement in mental state cultivation.
After claiming the task rewards, Luo Fan directly stored the Reincarnation Fruits in the system space.
That was the safest place.
Next, Luo Fan had the incarnations leave the Ultimate Cosmic Tower.
With so many incarnations inside the tower, maintaining a hundredfold time flow consumed an extremely terrifying amount of energy.
After leaving, the incarnations immediately split up.
Some continued tempering their will, while others headed toward various human cosmic nations and the territories of other races.
Luo Fan's main body, meanwhile, began studying the Slave Mark.
He planned to enslave that Zerg Brood Queen as soon as possible.
…
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three years went by in the outside world.
This will-based secret art was even harder to learn than Luo Fan had imagined.
He spent a full three hundred years inside the Zhouji Tower before finally mastering it.
That was only accomplished with the help of system tasks.
However, he understood why.
After all, this was a will-based secret art.
Moreover, Luo Fan had only just met the minimum requirement to learn it, Immortal-level will.
So it was normal for the learning speed to be slow.
That said, he had made breakthroughs in other areas.
His Space Origin Law was already close to mastering a minor branch.
During this period, the Spatial Worm incarnation had been constantly researching its own wormhole secret art.
It was now close to mastering the teleportation branch, Spatial Traversal.
Once Spatial Traversal was fully mastered, he would obtain recognition from the Space Origin Law.
Before that, Luo Fan planned to first enslave the Zerg Brood Queen to avoid any future complications.
The main body directly entered a World Ring.
Inside this World Ring, there was nothing else.
Only a Zerg Mother Nest lay quietly at the center of the small world.
Luo Fan flew straight to the center of the small world and saw a spherical Zerg Mother Nest below, with a diameter just over 800 meters.
On the nest were countless pits, with venom flowing and poisonous gas spreading, causing the surrounding grasslands to rot and the ground to be corroded into depressions.
It looked extremely ugly.
Luo Fan did not hesitate and directly began to use the Slave Mark, letting his will seep into the mother nest.
As soon as his will penetrated inside, he clearly discovered that the interior of the entire Zerg Mother Nest truly resembled a "hive."
Inside were countless dense holes, which should be the places where the Zerg Brood Queen nurtured Zerg warriors.
At the very core of the mother nest was an empty cavity with a diameter of roughly one hundred meters.
Within this cavity, a living being was sleeping.
Her entire body was pale and semi-transparent, her delicate form seeming to be condensed from crystal.
She was about twelve meters tall.
Behind her were a pair of wings resembling butterfly wings.
Those wings wrapped around her soft body, like a thin layer of gauze.
Her curvaceous figure was a masterpiece of heaven and earth.
Even in sleep, her brows were slightly furrowed, evoking pity.
This was the Zerg Brood Queen.
The true members of the Zerg race were a clan composed of these Zerg Brood Queens, who shook the universe and became one of its peak races.
Even though the human race was filled with experts, the two sides were still evenly matched.
In terms of proportions, the Zerg Brood Queen was nearly flawless. Even while sleeping, she carried a natural allure.
However, Luo Fan had no intention of showing mercy.
He looked coldly at the ugly Zerg Mother Nest before him.
No one would imagine that the master within was actually so beautiful.
His will directly began to penetrate the Zerg Brood Queen's body, probing for the location of her soul origin.
The moment his will entered, a trace of shock flashed through Luo Fan's eyes.
Seeing the internal structure of a Zerg Brood Queen for the first time, he was also stunned by this miraculous lifeform.
The interior of the Zerg Brood Queen was crystalline and translucent, as if composed of countless lines of energy light.
Inside were numerous conduits, along with a full 10,000 light spheres.
These 10,000 light spheres were similar to a normal World Master's soul origin pearl.
However, because her life structure was completely different, the Zerg Brood Queen possessed 10,000 soul origins.
Moreover, these 10,000 light spheres were connected to one another by countless energy light lines, forming an unfathomable and mysterious network.
He could sense that this peculiar network was extremely profound.
Luo Fan observed for a while and realized that he could not discern its mysteries.
So he directly activated the secret art.
In the next moment, his will transformed into countless threads.
These will-formed threads directly connected all of the Zerg Brood Queen's soul origins.
The dense threads wrapped around all ten thousand of her soul origins.
Furthermore, these threads interconnected, forming a wondrous network.
Immediately afterward, all the threads exerted force at the same time and directly merged into the Zerg Brood Queen's ten thousand soul origins.
The threads that merged into them instantly transformed into a profound mark.
Luo Fan also felt that a certain connection had been established between his soul and the soul of this Zerg Brood Queen.
The Zerg Brood Queen did not even have time to begin resisting before she was directly enslaved by Luo Fan.
This was mainly because she was sealed.
Even a World Master who knew some suitable soul enslavement secret arts would have a high chance of enslaving her, let alone Luo Fan.
He discovered that he could freely browse this Zerg Brood Queen's memories.
This discovery pleasantly surprised him.
This should have been due to the Slave Mark secret art.
He then had the Mechanical Race incarnation copy all of her memories.
This was something the Mechanical Race incarnation could do the fastest.
Before long, all of her memories were copied once.
This Zerg Brood Queen was named Irina. She specialized in the Fire Origin Law and the Space Origin Law.
She came from a region of the Zerg race.
The Zerg race was not like the human race, which had so many cosmic nations and such a vast population.
For the Zerg, basically every Brood Queen, after being born, would be assigned some planets that belonged to her.
Some planets were used to breed demonic beasts and humans, while others were used to store Zerg warriors.
Some planets were specifically for Zerg warriors to devour and slaughter upon.
This was because the number of Zerg Brood Queens was extremely small.
Therefore, each Zerg Brood Queen possessed a large number of planets.
Irina came from a place called the Ghost Soul Star Region.
She commanded dozens of star domains as her territory.
Some were allocated to her by the Zerg race, while others she had purchased or exchanged for herself.
Zerg Brood Queens also needed territory.
This was because the Zerg warriors they produced were actually capable of reproduction.
During this reproduction process, mutations could occur, giving rise to stronger Zerg warriors.
In this way, they could not only gain a talented subordinate, but also obtain an excellent template.
This was also why Zerg Brood Queens were so few in number, yet required such vast territories.
Moreover, when the number of Zerg warriors was sufficient, some Zerg warriors with relatively high intelligence could even appear.
They served as assistants to the Zerg Brood Queen.
As for Irina, she had been sealed only after being ambushed by Hu yan Bo on the extraterritorial battlefield.
After examining her memories, Luo Fan finally understood why Hu yan Bo had been able to seal a Zerg Brood Queen.
One had to know that even a World Master-level Zerg Brood Queen was extremely powerful.
Using Zerg swarm tactics, a World Master-level Zerg Brood Queen could even threaten a weaker Marquis-level Immortal.
If the Zerg Brood Queen had enough Zerg warriors, killing a Baron-level Immortal would be easy.
Let alone someone like Hu yan Bo.
