Astral Ants

Red Robin, Northern Plateau.

Dark clouds covered the sun,

Strong winds and heavy snow.

Wind cross flowers and extremely cold snowflakes dance wildly.

Thunder rumbled, purple lightning flashed, silver lightning danced, and the thunder was powerful.

The destructive attack by the super-powerful star-level warriors is beyond the carrying capacity of ordinary life planets.

Within the titanium white volume range, it can withstand this level of attack.

Countless silver-grey bees, ants, butterflies, dragonflies, locusts and other flying insects rushed towards the dark clouds in the sky desperately.

The silver oak should be a tree that focuses on fighting and is passionate about war.

It is waging a massive war.

These Zerg-shaped metal puppets are all at the stellar level of evolution, but their combat strength is far lower than that of Zerg warriors.

It is much lower than those strange beasts such as Luo, Lushi and Hongsang that live with the Zerg.

Not as good as the special blue soldier.

The combat power level may be similar to that of the Creator Civilization warriors.

Winning in quantity.

Hundreds of millions of them blocked all the roads in the sky and on the ground.

Puppets of different races have their own combat modes and are proficient in one type of attack ability.

The seemingly chaotic battlefield and suicidal attacks actually hide order and cooperation.

The silver oak is imitating a war in which a civilization is landed and robbed.

Long Bai plays the role of a vicious robber...

...

...

Long Bai chose to rush in from the air, hiding inside Yunwu Feiyu's body, and fully unleashing his strongest range attack capability.

The intelligent brain was working at its best, constantly analyzing and responding to the various battle formations, charges and attacks bestowed by the Silver Oak God.

The devouring frost-gnawing breath cleared the way, and they waded forward bit by bit.

...

Three hundred kilometers away,
After half a month, we finally saw the mountain that Yinqiu mentioned.

The mountains and the sky are densely packed with metal puppets.

Mental scan,
On the huge rock at the top of the mountain, there is a metal box made of gold.

Next to the boulder stood a silver-gray giant-headed ant that looked exactly like Longbai and was twice the size of a regular Zerg warrior.

——There is also a most difficult "leader" to deal with.

Long Bai knew that it was not that easy.

As soon as he thought about it, he came up with a solution.

Wow!
The eight-winged flying dragon rolled in the air, silver and purple lightning flashed, and it instantly transformed into a form of thunder and fire.

The evening sky seemed to be ignited in an instant, and the earth changed color due to the strong purple-red light.

——Umbrella bird!
Tens of thousands of blue, purple and red umbrella birds flapped their wings and rushed out from the flying cloud of thunder and fire, flying in all directions and charging towards the puppet battle formation at tricky angles.

boom! boom! boom……

The umbrella bird exploded.

The mountain trembled.

The splashing hot magma flooded the earth and turned it into a lava swamp.

The towering mountains are eroded and melted by the high temperature.

Countless metal puppets died in batches.

Finally, the metal puppet imitating Long Bai that was guarding the golden box couldn't hold back any longer. It raised its head, opened its mouth and sucked in huge amounts of metal energy into its stomach. It flapped its wings, and soared into the air with a rumble. Its body expanded, and it also turned into a giant metal ant with a wingspan of thirty kilometers. It opened its jaws and accelerated towards Leihuo Feiyue controlled by Long Bai.

suddenly,

Leihuo Feiyue shrank and instantly transformed into a gorgeous red and blue umbrella bird.

The giant umbrella bird spread its wings and flapped them, accelerating with the power of wind and thunder, and rushed towards the giant metal ant.

"stop!"

The majestic mental power and intention came from nowhere.

It was like an oracle, and the energy could not be felt. The four elements of water, fire, wind and thunder flowing and compressed in the body of the giant umbrella bird that was about to self-destruct suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

"Ginju, are you crazy?"

"I know my limits. It's the ants that are crazy."

"How old are you? How old is it? Are you taking a little bug so seriously?"

"I'm not serious. It's the one that wants to kill itself."

"That's enough!"

The unquestionable majestic mental power disappeared without a trace after the scolding.

"..."

Yin Jue's mental power and thoughts were deflected.

On the mountain that had already turned into a lava volcano, Longbai's real body had quietly appeared on the boulder at some point, holding the golden box in his claws and flipping through it to examine it.

With a slight click, the simple mechanical mechanism of the golden box popped open.

Inside the box are silver-gray metal particles with a diameter of about 1 mm.

It is undoubtedly a third-level metal material.

It seems that there is a life quality.

Long Bai confirmed that the thing was real, and without hesitation, he opened his mouth and sucked it into his stomach.

Yinqiu: “…”

Yinqiu was thinking about what to say when he was surprised to find that a crack appeared on the ant's carapace, which quickly spread to the head and tail.

A pink and plump ant crawled out of its old shell, and its new shell hardened quickly.

Through mental sensing, it was discovered that the ant was actually using its water-based ability to dissolve everything to digest the titanium sand in its stomach, absorbing and transforming it, and merging it into its shell.

"Is this how you adapt to the changes?"

"Yes. I can adjust and transform at the blood level and quickly adapt to all energy and material environments."

"This is really good stuff! Thank you, Silver Oak Sacred Tree!"

After all, I'm here to take advantage, Long Bai replied politely.

Yin Qiao couldn't believe it. "Is this the evolutionary path you discovered and created yourself?"

Long Bai said shamelessly, "Yes! But not entirely. I took the divine power of my ancestors, the essence of wild beasts, and the talents of the seven elements as the core, and added the abilities granted by dozens of divine fruits of the life and power systems to jointly construct and forge my star core."

Yinqiu was silent for two seconds, then praised, "What an incredible ant! The last one, an insect like you that made the tree's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly clear, was named 'Tianlu'."

Green sky?

The Baijing tree is the result of optimized cultivation and mutation of the Tianluxiang tree.

The real name of the Lord of Reincarnation is also called "Tianlu".

Long Bai didn't dare to answer.

Yinqiu didn't say much.

The fierce nature of the metallic energy that filled the heaven and earth suddenly changed, transforming into metallic energy with gentle life characteristics, which flowed through the shell and into Long Bai's body.

Inside the abdomen, the rate of titanium sand dissolution, absorption and transformation increased dramatically.

Little by little,
The jaws, claws, toes, tibia, head and thorax, and thoracic and abdominal tubercles of the dragon cypress are all covered with sharp spikes that are a light grayish white in color.

Three days later,
Due to the ability of the jungle symbiote, the carapace of Longbai changed from pitch black to dark green.

The needle-like hairs on the antennae's nodules turned silver-gray.

Three more days later,

The carapace began to show grayish-white sandy particles.

It took six days for the titanium sand to be absorbed and transformed.

——Biological weapon transformation!
This enhanced modification floats on the surface of the shell, just like the jungle symbiote. After molting once, the shell reinforced by titanium sand will be shed.

Longbai was not very satisfied.

He gathered up the spider silk bag, tied it to the carapace again, manipulated the soil and rocks to transform it into a rock python, and continued forward.

Cross the continuous snow-capped mountains on the plateau and pass through a canyon river.

Ahead is an endless silver-gray 'desert'.

Ordinary titanium alloy sand that has not yet completed its original energy transformation.

As soon as Long Bai stepped on the ground, the dull metallic pressure from the sky and the ground suddenly caused his pores to shrink automatically, and the ultimate beast star spots on his forehead flashed rapidly.

Moving forward with difficulty.

With every step he took, the pressure grew stronger.

Longbai quickly adapted and walked forward quickly.

After walking about a kilometer, stop at a sand dune and look out.

Soul-fixing ability, scanning and sensing,

Still no trace of other warriors participating in the trial could be found.

However, one can vaguely sense the location of the Silver Oak God-given seeds, which is about 400 kilometers away.

The third level of 'Titanium Will' is obviously not about how far you can go.

The process is important.

Temper your physique and strengthen your will.

The ultimate goal should be to combine the titanium sand fused in the second test with the special metal energy field of the "desert" area to guide the body to complete an important transformation.

Longbai has a super strong physique given by the divine power of his ancestors and adaptive evolution. He paused for a few minutes to catch his breath, adapted to the pressure of his current position, and then took another step and ran quickly. Another thousand meters ahead.

stop.

Breathing adaptation.

Further forward...

It took four days of stopping and starting, and we advanced nearly 200 kilometers.

Heavy pressure came from all directions, as if to compress the insect into a ball.

"almost!"

Long Bai evaluated in his mind, muttered, and rested on the spot.

After a long time, he adjusted his state, the strength and life energy in his body burst out, his figure turned into an afterimage, and he moved forward straightly, charging fearlessly.

After running 50 kilometers in one breath, Long Bai could no longer hold on and his six legs went limp and he collapsed.

Under the pressure that exceeds the body's endurance limit, the body seems to be about to explode.

The ultimate beast star-spotted white light on the forehead flashed violently.

Turn around,

He launched another fearless charge, ran desperately, sprinted back, ran seventy or eighty kilometers in one breath, and returned to the pressure area that his body could bear.

Longbai activated his hydra tentacles, untied the spider silk ropes, and put down the spider silk bag on his back.

Done,

Open your pores and take a deep breath.

The life force surges in the body.

All around, metallic energy gathered and quickly condensed on the shell to form a silver-gray elliptical light cocoon.

Pupa evolution!

Under the threat of death, the ultimate mode of evolution, adaptive evolution, is triggered.

Inside the light cocoon, Long Bai's body dissolved and reassembled.

"..."

Yinqiu had been paying attention to Longbai's movements. Seeing this situation, he was surprised, solemn and confused.

——Similar to the rebirth of a butterfly?

——Abilities of the same level!

——How could a small ant in the Star Realm possibly comprehend the ability of this level of law on its own?

——Is it because of the divine power of our ancestors?
——Is there really another insect as green as the sky?
——The two inheritances of the old cosmic civilizations, the space system and the water system, brought out so many good things from the mother planet. Naturally, the true god must have paid attention to it a long time ago.

Yin Qiu pondered it, feeling amazed but also taking it for granted.

...

...

The bright earth paved with raw crystals.

The concentration of Force far exceeds that of the third-level source point.

A space barrier like a rainbow cloud.

The obscure, familiar yet unfamiliar natural divine power permeates and flows in the space.

A towering tree that looks like an elm tree stands proudly.

Countless nine-colored energy threads extended from the tree branches and connected with the space barrier. Countless spots of light flowed at the speed of light, illuminating the space.

"This is……"

"here it is……"

Longbai was confused.

Am I not in the titanium white world, transforming into a cocoon?

After a brief confusion,
Long Bai realized that he was now in spirit form.

The soul was stripped away and pulled into this strange space.

——The true God of nature!
This is the dimensional world where the tree-shaped clone of the True God of Nature has taken root!

"I have seen the true God of nature!"

Long Bai greeted him respectfully.

"I can sense that you really want to see me, and you have many unresolved doubts in your heart..."

A calm spiritual power and thought without any emotional fluctuations came from the tree-shaped clone of the True God of Nature.

Long Bai: "..."

I never thought I would be able to see the true God of nature.

However, there are indeed countless questions in my mind.

Long Bai quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "Please ask the True God of Nature to help me solve this puzzle."

The True God of Nature: "I can only answer you one question."

Long Bai: "..."

Is there really only one chance to ask a question?

Long Bai hesitated slightly and asked, "O omniscient God of Nature, you must know about the Crystal Throne and the White Tower Civilization, right? I want to know whether the White Tower Civilization survived the cosmic catastrophe and has been passed down to this day."

"Strange question~"

The True God of Nature: "A unique male ant king. You are the first insect who didn't ask me how to evolve into a god-level insect."

The True God of Nature said regretfully, "I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I don't know about the White Tower Civilization you mentioned. However, I do know something about the Crystal Throne you mentioned."

"This is top secret information known only to me and a very small number of masters. If you are willing to listen, I can explain it to you, but it will also waste your only chance to ask questions."

Long Bai said decisively: "Please ask the True God of Nature to explain in detail!"

True God of Nature: "In the old universe, our natural civilization used various means to collect intelligence about other civilizations in the universe. We classified and graded them. The main consideration was whether they would pose a threat to the survival of natural civilization now and in the future, and the extent of the threat."

"There are five levels in total, namely: Level 0, no threat; Level 1, light threat; Level 2, severe threat; Level 3, extremely severe threat; Level 4, extreme threat."

"Level 4 corresponds to a god-level civilization, or a civilization that has the potential to evolve into a god-level civilization, or a civilization that has the potential to master god-level power through strange means."

"There is a 'Kaist Elemental Civilization' at the Crystal Throne. We have classified it as a 'Level 4 Extreme Threat', which is the highest level that could threaten the survival of our natural civilization."

"However, it is not the Kestel Elemental Civilization that can pose a threat to us, but the Crystal Throne."

"The so-called crystal throne is a god-level sealing artifact made by an unknown old god in the ancient universe era using the black hole at the center of the galaxy as material. The one sealed inside should be a god-level existence."

"The existence that cannot be killed should have been sealed and exiled to the absolute void outside the universe, but for some unknown reason it returned to the main universe."

"The Crystal Throne Galaxy Cluster is too far away from us. When we were planning to organize an expeditionary force to attack, seize the Crystal Throne and re-exile it, the universe suddenly changed and it was destroyed 20 billion years earlier than expected. We were busy trying to survive, so the matter was shelved."

"When the universe is destroyed, there are two possible outcomes for the Crystal Throne and the old gods sealed inside it: the first is destruction and extinction; the second is that with the help of the Kester Elemental Civilization, they escape into the void and avoid the disaster."

The True God of Nature: "I can sense that you are feeling uneasy about this."

Long Bai: "Yes."

Long Bai: "The situation is like this. I just left my home planet. When the Qiming star system was developing, I followed an adventure team from the Flame Spider tribe to explore the remains of an old cosmic civilization named 'Lone Wolf'..."

Long Bai informed the whole situation in detail, including the artist's collection, the purple-red technological star core, the artist's armor, the leader-class starship, the sacred stone of the space law, the sacred tree of the space law, as well as the glorious throne and black tower left by the artist.

"Your worries are not unnecessary."

True God of Nature: "If they really found a way to survive the catastrophe of cosmic destruction, they should have found a suitable galaxy at the edge of the universe and started to develop again."

"Your name is Long Bai? Long Bai, I have a mission for you. In the future, when you grow up and become strong, go over and take a look. If they are still there, we need to organize our forces and wipe them out in time."

Long Bai: "..."

Such a big trouble,

From the tone of his voice, it seems that the True God of Nature doesn’t take it seriously at all!

Long Bai suggested: "The Saint Butterfly Warriors are not afraid of death. You can arrange for the Saint Butterfly Tribe to send one or two Domination Realm strongmen to investigate."

"They probably can't send out any extra Domination Realm warriors."

The True God of Nature asked, "Aren't you curious about how many Level 4 extremely threatening civilizations our natural civilization has listed in the old universe? Aren't they likely to threaten our survival?"

Longbai asked, "How many?"

The True God of Nature: "An integer of one thousand."

Long Bai: "!!!"

Long Bai asked, "Are they all Level 4 God-level civilizations? Or are they expected to break through and become God-level civilizations?"

Natural True God: "There is no second god-level civilization, but many third-level peak and demigod-level civilizations should not be underestimated."

True God of Nature: "The old universe was destroyed 20 billion years earlier than predicted, and a large number of powerful civilizations perished due to lack of preparation or inadequate preparation. However, there are also civilizations that were well prepared and may have survived the catastrophe safely."

"Survival is a cold and cruel challenge for all life."

True God of Nature: "There is no limit to the development of civilization, and the expansion of ethnic groups is endless. A universe is destined to allow only one super civilization to exist. The one thousand fourth-level extremely threatening civilizations in the old universe era must be checked to ensure that they no longer exist."

Long Bai fell silent.

It turned out to be like this...

There are as many as a thousand civilizations that may threaten natural civilization...

Moreover, this is a matter of the survival of civilization, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong, justice or evil.

Long Bai: "Natural God, your task arrangement is very reasonable, but the problem is, I am afraid I don't have the ability to do it."

True God of Nature: "Then work hard to improve your abilities."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai asked: "Then how can I improve myself?"

True God of Nature: "That's the second question. Since you didn't ask me for advice at the first level, it means you are sure of it, so there's no need for me to say more."

finished,

The space shook slightly, and Long Bai's soul perception disappeared. When he regained consciousness, he was surrounded by the familiar metallic energy pressure.

PS1: Happy Children's Day to all readers~
ps2: Recently there are two fan fictions about the star realm, "Natural God's Gift" and "Thousand Trees' Story". I have read "Natural God's Gift" and I think it is good. The performance is also OK. It will be put on the shelves soon. You can go and take a look. If you think you can support it, give a first order. Let's write together and make this unpopular theme bigger and stronger.
