This is Swallowed Star, not Resident Evil.

Chapter 124: Multiple Clones, Return to Earth

It's as if everything is trapped in amber, frozen in time...

Opposite them, the Devouring World Descendant, the avatar of the first Golden Horned Beast of the Immortal Alliance, stopped its slight head-raising movement and froze completely.

The swirling dust particles stopped moving and solidified in mid-air.

To Ye Yang's astonishment, the most mysterious power in the universe suddenly appeared in his body and poured into his 'life core'.

Within that life core, a world instantly opened up, forming an incredibly hard sphere with numerous secret patterns flowing across its surface.

Ye Yang instantly understood what it was.

"The world inside the body? Proto-nucleus?!"

"Now, it seems the laws governing the universe have stopped, and I have evolved into a human with a protocore and an inner world?"

Just as Ye Yang was marveling at the power, the mysterious force continuously modified the primordial core that Ye Yang had just formed, making it rapidly become incredibly hard and able to withstand a larger internal world.

Of course, the constraints that will be overcome when breaking through immortality in the future will be even stronger.

After everything was over, frozen time returned to normal, as if nothing had happened and nothing had changed.

But Ye Yang, a human being, has undergone earth-shattering changes!

Ye Yang, the Golden Horned Beast, was initially bewildered, but then, through the synchronization of consciousness between his clones on the Immortal Alliance side, he learned what had just happened.

Clearly, the Golden Horned Beast Ye Yang was not classified as a clone of the human Ye Yang by the laws of the universe.

Now, Ye Yang, who has obtained the third talent—'Trinity', has the opportunity to cultivate two additional clones.

"As long as the level of life's genes remains within the limits that the body's internal world can withstand, it can develop into multiple clones. Furthermore, it can possess three major forms, with the three clones forming a unified whole, and each clone can change form at any time!"

"However, there are also limitations; it is limited to beings with souls."

Ye Yang experienced the effect of the third talent and found that it was not much different from the Immortal Alliance version.

Then he looked at Jin Jiao Ye Yang on the other side.

Golden Horn Leaf Sunflower, unchanged!

"No way... The second avatar of the Immortal Alliance isn't recognized as my avatar by the original universe... Doesn't that mean..."

Overjoyed, he immediately instructed Golden Horn Ye Yang to begin circulating the "Trinity".

Although this time it is not in human form, but in the body of the first Golden Horned Beast, the Trinity is a divine power that points directly to the origin of life and the origin of spirituality, and is not limited by race or size.

At the same time, Ye Yang observed the secret patterns representing the "Trinity" on the newly generated primordial core, lost in thought.

Jin Jiao Ye Yang's operation of the "Trinity" was very smooth, and then...

Everything froze again... Rather than time stopping, it was more like being pulled into a time gap by the rules of the universe. Everything's time was still normal, but at this moment, Jin Jiaoye Yang's time was infinitely stretched.

"here we go again……"

Ye Yang was overjoyed. He had struck it rich; he had exploited a loophole in the rules governing the universe.

The three avatars of the Immortal Alliance world can each manifest three corresponding incarnations in the Devouring World.

The three beings who descended can also trigger the rules of the universe by operating the "Trinity" and are forcibly endowed with innate secret techniques!

In the end, Ye Yang will obtain... nine clones that devour the world!

"This is outrageous! Even if the nine clones only have three switchable forms, it's still incredibly powerful!"

"Moreover... my cultivation speed is now nine times faster than before! That's the most crucial point. At the same time, my research into the three fundamental laws of metal, fire, and space won't hold me back anymore."

Staring at the original core inside Jin Jiao Ye Yang's body, there were two sets of secret patterns on the original core.

One group represents the innate secret technique 'Devour,' and the other group represents the innate secret technique 'Trinity.'

The runes for the innate secret techniques 'Enhancement' and 'Spatial Strangulation' are located on the surface of the body.

"After the power of the universe's operating rules descended... the life gene level of my first Golden Horned Beast clone has been elevated once again! It can be said to be a special kind of life, and it also possesses four great innate secret techniques, which is very rare."

Ye Yang kept examining the two bodies, sensing the changes after they had been modified by the rules of the universe.

Golden Horn Leaf Yang's life gene level has definitely been elevated by more than 100 times.

Human Ye Yang also felt that his life gene level had reached the limit of normal life—10 times!

"Next is to devour the world to create clones, a trinity. I have no other choice. I can only have three forms at most, so I still choose the human form and the original Golden Horned Beast."

Golden Horn Ye Yang and Human Ye Yang exchanged a glance, swapped their flesh and blood tissues, and put them into their respective inner worlds to begin nurturing their clones.

"A new human clone... two and a half years."

"A new avatar of the original Golden Horned Beast... four years."

After estimating the gestation period, Ye Yang left the secret room, summoned Babata, and told him about the clone.

"My Golden Horned Beast clone needs to devour a large amount of metal to cultivate. I wonder if I can find the metal ratio that can accelerate the cultivation speed of the Golden Horned Beast on the virtual universe network."

Ye Yang said:

"In short, get me a batch of Grade A and Grade B pure metals first. This clone is already at the ninth level of the planetary level, so I shouldn't need too much Grade A metal."

Without inherited memories and not knowing the optimal ratio, I can only eat pure metal for now.

"Uh... okay, I understand."

Babata was no longer shocked at all.

After sensing the soul aura, it was confirmed that Ye Yang had created a clone of the Golden Horned Beast, rather than being turned into a clone by a Golden Horned Beast.

Babata did not doubt that Ye Yang was a golden-horned behemoth from the beginning... because the cultivation level of an avatar could not be higher than that of the main body. Ye Yang had already reached the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, while the golden-horned behemoth was only at the ninth level of the Xing realm.

"Strange, developing a clone requires a genetic sample, right? Where did he get a sample of the Golden Horned Beast?"

Babata shook his little head and went to select pure metals for Ye Yang.

"If I count, it's already the year 2058 on Earth. I remember that December 30th of this year was the day that golden-horned behemoth hatched... If I go back now, it will take me more than a year, almost two years."

"Two years later, in January 2060, the Devouring Beast Crisis officially broke out."

"Time is really tight... I should get going. Without this, Luo Feng would never have been able to possess the Golden Horned Beast, right?"

A blood-red, prismatic crystal appeared in Ye Yang's hand.

It was made by Hu Yanbo himself, the inherited soul imprint of the Meteorite Star lineage!

In the original work, it was this inherited soul imprint, which was enough to transform all the mental power of a first-order universe level, that had a lot left after transforming Luo Feng's mental power, and it had been hidden deep in his soul ever since.

It wasn't until the very last moment of Luo Feng's battle with the Golden Horned Beast that Ye Yang managed to break through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense with the help of the inherited soul imprint.

Without it, Luo Feng would have had an extremely difficult time surviving, let alone possessing another body!

After all, the only spaceship on Earth that could be obtained when weak, and Babata, the intelligent life form that could assemble spaceships, had already been taken away by Ye Yang.

There's nowhere to run!

Forget about destiny and plot correction... It's not uncommon in the Immortal Alliance for dungeon masters to cause trouble, kill off the main characters of the dungeon plot, and then trigger a plot backlash, causing the dungeon world to be completely destroyed.

Ye Yang had no desire to become one of them.

Moreover, Ye Yang still greatly admired Luo Feng, at least based on his performance in the original work.

Ye Yang also needs the inherited memories of the Golden Horned Beast, otherwise his Golden Horned clone wouldn't know how to cultivate.

So even though time was tight, Ye Yang decided to return to Earth immediately after the metal ordered by Babata was delivered.
