Astral Ants

The Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce team has more than 2,000 seven-color mantis warriors. In addition, it has gathered various other mantis warriors, a motley crew, with a total number of nearly 10,000. The total size of the team is only 12,000 insects.

More than 10,000 insects that stayed behind on the starship and hid in a confined space were all knocked down by the Black-Faced God using his poison ability to penetrate the wound on the starship.

Both Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and Citi Chamber of Commerce have warriors who specialize in water-based frost and have developed frost-sealing abilities. The White-Faced God is removing the toxins from each of them one by one and then sealing them up.

...

The interstellar fortress of the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce has a diameter of 38 kilometers and is compatible with the super energy storage function of the energy ship. There are various supporting facilities inside, and even a complete natural ecosystem is built, which can provide root for force plants. It is a truly all-round ship.

Long Bai and his group of insects, escorting the Ten-Colored Mantis King, quickly arrived at the southern end of the starship.

The Ten-Colored Mantis King issued an order, and the closed alloy wall lit up with white light, forming a teleportation portal.

Passing through the teleportation portal, there is a green and living world ahead.

Mental scan,
The space is 8 kilometers high, with a sky-blue curved dome, bright sunshine and white clouds.

The ground diameter is 22 kilometers, the area is 380 kilometers, and 424 God-given seeds with heights ranging from hundreds of meters to kilometers are densely rooted.

"I surrender~"

"I'm not familiar with this group of mantises~"

"It has nothing to do with me~"

"Don't kill me~"

"I have been advising these mantises to be kind to insects."

“These guys don’t listen.”

"It's this guy, the tenth color. He insists on taking control of the starship and controlling its fate..."

"It's just a complete idiot, a bad one!"

"Kill it now."

"It's none of my business."

"Please let me go~"

"..."

A group of force plants screamed first.

Dozens of mantis warriors with green shells, who were dedicated to taking care of the Force plants, walked over dejectedly.

In the center of the space, there was a maple tree with colorful leaves. The mental power swept over the insects twice and stopped at Molan.

"Seven-colored sacred tree?"

Molan raised her antennae and greeted, "Hello!"

"You are...what kind of mantis?"

"Orchid Mantis."

"Where does your power of the seven-color elemental law come from?"

"I figured it out myself."

"lie!"

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree asked, "You came from the mother planet, right? The Seven-Colored Flower Mantis and the Orchid Mantis are closely related bloodlines. You should be an Orchid Mantis that inherited the Seven-Colored Flower Mantis bloodline and successfully awakened the power of the Seven-Colored Elemental Law!"

Cymbidium:"……"

Molan wanted to pretend.

I can’t pretend anymore.

"Whatever you say."

"Does it matter? Strength is the only criterion for judging right and wrong."

Mo Lan waved his paw indifferently and said, "Seven-Colored Divine Tree, I am officially announcing to you that you have been captured! If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently and acknowledge that I am your ancestor. Perhaps, if this king is happy, I will spare your lives..."

"Second King, that's enough. The same joke won't be funny if you tell it too many times."

Long Bai couldn't listen any longer, so he raised his claws and pressed Mo Lan down. His body turned into a shadow, floating to the Seven-Colored Divine Tree, looking up, staring for two seconds, and said solemnly:
"In the Amber Galaxy, Long Bai, the leader of the Xianglan Mountain Chamber of Commerce, has seen the Seven-Colored Divine Tree."

"We in the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce are all lawful good bugs. We will not harm our own kind. The Seven-Colored Divine Tree does not need to worry. We have no ill intentions. I have two questions for you."

Long Bai didn't waste any words and asked directly: "First, have you encountered the Star God Alliance?"

"The Ten-Colored Mantis King has also evolved to the seventh stage of the Starry Sky Realm, right? He is the first place winner of the 7st Daylight Sea Arena, the strongest warrior in the universe. When facing alien races, especially innate gods, there should be few people below the level of demigods who can survive more than three moves under the claws of the Ten-Colored Mantis King."

Long Bai asked: "Did you encounter the Divine King Chi?"

"Yes."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree asked back, "Do you know much about the Star God Alliance?"

Long Bai replied, "I know a little bit."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree asked, "Why did you run so far? Did you come all the way here to find the Star God Alliance?"

Long Bai: "I need the Soul Law Divine Stone of Divine King Chi."

"Oh--"

"You are here to rob."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree understood and said, "We are the same! Then we can work together to do something."

Long Bai: "..."

Seven-Colored Divine Tree: "First of all, you underestimate the strength of the Seven-Colored Chamber of Commerce. In the Chamber of Commerce, there are at least ten Mantis Warriors whose combat power is second only to the Ten-Colored. Even if they cannot defeat the Demigod God King Chi, they can still run away. The current situation is mainly due to... a major change!"

Upon hearing this, Long Bai and his companions became solemn.

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree paused, and seeing that no one was following its words to ask questions, it simply kept the secret and asked, "Do you know the process of evolving into the True God Realm?"

--Know!
Longbai and his group tapped their tentacles.

Seven-Colored Divine Tree: “…”

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree said: "At the peak of the realm of the master of the universe, if you continue to move up, the evolutionary breakthrough is divided into three steps. The first step is the combination of the divine soul and the divine pattern, transforming into a true 'divine soul'; the second step is the nirvana of the immortal body and the transformation into a divine body; the third step is the unity of the divine soul and the divine body."

"If you successfully complete these three steps, you will succeed and reach the realm of a true god. However, 90% of the original force life will fail in the first step, and their souls will be destroyed and their bodies will die. Among the remaining 10%, 99% will inevitably die in the second step, their immortal bodies will collapse, their evolution will fail, and they will fall to the level of a demigod."

“Even if you pass the first and second steps, the third step will almost kill all the Force life, and you will still end up as a demigod.”

"So, there are three results for a breakthrough to the peak of the Master of the Universe: death, demigod, and true god."

"Demigods are the product of a failed attempt to break through to true gods. They only possess a tiny amount of divine power, 10,000 times weaker than true gods, but they are indeed much more powerful than the masters of the universe."

"Of course, most of the Force beings in the Domination Realm can't even find a way to break through, so they have no chance of failure."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree paused and said, "The library records that in the old universe era, God King Chi did reach the semi-god realm. However, the one we encountered was God King Chi at the peak level of the universe master."

Molan tilted his head, thought for a moment, raised his paw and said, "Digital reincarnation?"

"Digital reincarnation?"

"The God King Chi has indeed been reincarnated once."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree was puzzled for a moment, and continued to narrate: "The other innate gods are probably all dead. Divine King Chi seized their origins and law stones, and I don't know what method he used to integrate them into one."

"In the old universe, the Star God Alliance brought together three to four thousand innate gods. Some of them were good at fighting, some were good at production, and some were good at manufacturing. God King Chi integrated the power of these innate gods into one, becoming the veritable 'Almighty God King Chi'. While his own strength skyrocketed, the 'Fiery Soul Clan' he bred also inherited comprehensive abilities to a certain extent, and their individual strengths should not be underestimated."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree sighed, "We were mainly defeated by the Blazing Soul Clan warriors..."

Completely unexpected and beyond cognition~
When Longbai and his group heard this, all the insects were dumbfounded and looked at each other.

"This……"

"Digital reincarnation?"

"It must be that the God King Chi deceived the other gods and voluntarily entered a state of death to reduce the consumption of the original force and ensure that he could survive the period of cosmic silence. Then, he took away their origin and the divine stone of law without any effort."

"How did they merge together?"

"It's probably digital reincarnation, but the specific method is unknown."

"I understand!"

"The source star systems we observed in the Star God System were all gaseous planets suitable for the Blazing Soul Clan to live in..."

"Yes!"

"I see!"

"It turns out that only the God King Chi and his Chi Soul clan are left..." "He even harmed his own accomplices. What a vicious guy!"

"..."

Longbai and his group of insects were shocked, suddenly realized what was happening, and started talking among themselves, their expressions becoming more and more solemn.

Long Bai asked, "God King Chi should have started from scratch and grown and evolved again. His evolutionary level has fallen to the level of the master of the universe, but his strength is now far superior to what it was before? Even reaching the level of our Zerg warriors?"

Shi Se said: "It has reached the level of the strongest warrior in the universe. There is a huge gap between me and it. I cannot beat it in a one-on-one fight."

"And there are the new Fiery Souls under its command. According to the library's records, in the past, at the same evolutionary level, one of our Zerg warriors could defeat ten thousand of them without taking a breath. Now, it's hard to defeat even a hundred of them."

Shi Se said depressedly: "It was a tough battle. Our Flower Mantis tribe sent out 2,000 warriors, and other Mantis tribes also sent out 3,000 warriors, a total of 5,000 warriors to fight, and all of them died in the battle."

"Fortunately, we were smart and arranged to hide in the Seven-Colored Divine Tree Interstellar Fortress in advance. We escaped when the situation became bad. We used the power of reincarnation to be reborn and resurrected."

"But they were not able to escape completely. The soldiers who stayed behind to guard the interstellar fortress were too useless. They were severely damaged by an attack from the enemy's reconnaissance fleet, and all the ship-borne detection systems were destroyed."

"Without a detection system in the vast starry sky, we are like blind men, running around desperately, unable to find the source of supplies, and finally stranded here."

"Forehead--"

Long Bai asked: "Even if nothing unexpected happens, you still can't defeat the demigod-level God King Chi? What do you think?"

Shi Se didn't want to talk. He raised his claws and pointed at the Seven-Colored Divine Tree, saying depressedly: "It is the mastermind behind all this. It was it that arranged the tactics. You can ask it."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree said, “We didn’t know it was the Star God Alliance. Our idea was that since they could survive the destruction of the universe, they must know how fierce our Divine Tree civilization is, so they first attacked a third-level source point on the edge and deliberately sent a false signal that we were just the vanguard and that there were more troops coming from behind.

I thought that after learning about the attack by the army of the Divine Tree Civilization, they would definitely panic and flee immediately. I never expected that not only would they not flee, but they would gather their army to attack us..."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree added: "It's not that I made a mistake in my planning. It's mainly because the body forms of the Divine King Chi and his Chi Soul Clan have completely changed, which directly led to my misjudgment."

As the Seven-Colored Divine Tree spoke, the surrounding water vapor and air gathered and condensed to form a two-legged, two-armed creature with a body shape very similar to that of a human, seven or eight meters tall, and its body was covered with metallic tentacles that seemed to be able to shrink and deform.

It has no human cheeks, no eyes, nose, mouth, or ears. It seems to be covered by a black metal mask with spiral white Force patterns on it.

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree said, "It looks like this, and it doesn't match the powerful civilizations in the old universe recorded in the library. I mistakenly thought it was a small, inferior civilization that survived by chance."

"..."

The group of insects in Longbai were dumbfounded again.

According to the library's records, the God King Chi and his Chi Soul clan are elemental life forms that resemble octopuses, have many tentacles, and float and swim in gas planets.

this……

These are two completely different life forms!

Molan asked, "How did you determine that they are the Divine King Chi and the Chi Soul Clan?"

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree asked back, "Aren't you coveting its Soul Law Divine Stone?"

Yes! Ability characteristics!
Molan was lost in thought.

Juniper was also thinking, and suddenly jumped anxiously, raised his paw to signal, and asked: "So, now the God King Chi, will it have a higher probability of breaking through and evolving into the True God level? Or, even if it fails, evolving into the Demigod level will not be so easy to deal with?"

Shi Se said: "I fought against it for hundreds of rounds. Based on my attainments in the field of force power and force life... In my opinion, it cannot become a true god."

Upon hearing this, the insects in Xianglan Mountain breathed a sigh of relief.

I definitely don’t dare and cannot believe it all.

Does a worm like Shise, whose brain nerves are thicker than its antennae, also have academic attainments?

Long Bai asked, "What about abilities? Regardless of race or type of life form, the Domination Realm should have its own path of evolution and at least one core ability. What changes have occurred in the abilities it has demonstrated?"

"It's completely different from what was recorded in the library."

Shi Se said: "There are many incredible abilities. Among them, the most powerful one is a soul-based one that contains all the powers of the ten systems. It is a dark... weird ability."

Shi Se raised his claws and pointed at the face of the Blazing Soul Clan model made of water vapor and air, and said, "Release from the 'face' a pure black energy shock similar to a beam of light. Once hit, no matter whether it hits the vital points or not, the person will die."

"Many warriors of the Blazing Soul Tribe have also mastered this ability, but they are far inferior to the God King Blazing Soul and are not as deadly."

"After a battle, most of our soldiers were killed by this ability."

Shi Se thought for a moment and said, "God King Chi and his Chi Soul warriors have combined tens of thousands of abilities of three or four thousand innate gods. Their greatest feature is that their abilities are ever-changing. Compared to them, we, the Natural God Clan, only have the advantage of bloodline and God-given seeds."

"We started as junior warriors, using God-given Force food to grow and evolve. Each time we grow older, we gain three times the strength of theirs. With the addition of God's blood, our abilities are five times stronger than theirs at the same evolutionary level. However, no matter how strong an individual is, they cannot withstand a large number. At that time, we were besieged by tens of millions of Blazing Soul warriors above the Su Realm level, and we were completely wiped out after a short while."

"I understand~"

Long Bai tapped his tentacles.

It's very strange that this Ten-Colored Mantis King can still speak normally. His language is smooth, clear and organized. He is not the kind of insect that has no brains, can't speak clearly, and can't communicate.
Long Bai was puzzled and asked, "Second question, why did you, the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce, travel so far... This is a distance of nearly 1.8 billion light years? What are you doing here?"

Shi Se said: "Travel the universe, observe the evolution of the stars, and comprehend the origin of the universe."

Long Bai asked, "Shouldn't we be heading towards the center of the universe? Besides, there's no need to run so far, right?"

Shi Se: "It is necessary! I have a heart that longs for freedom."

Molan didn't believe it at all and shouted, "Juniper, Silver Cypress, drag this mantis that doesn't tell the truth away and kill it!"

Juniper: "..."

Yinbai: "..."

Ten colors: “…”

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree said leisurely, "These mantises are not smart, they are too stupid. In the Divine Tree Civilization, they have offended everyone, both those who can be offended and those who cannot be offended. Especially when the White Crystal Galaxy was first opened, too much hatred was created when the source points were snatched. The Divine Tree Civilization had no place to stay, so they simply sold all the snatched source points and exchanged them for resources for growth and evolution, as well as this 'Seven-Colored Divine Tree' interstellar fortress."

Seven-Colored Divine Tree: "Even if we leave the living galaxy and enter deep space, we dare not hang around the three major galaxies. If we are caught by a powerful fleet of a large force with a large population of insects, we will surely die. There is no choice but to go far away. We are thinking about coming to the True Seven Dolphins Line to develop the galaxy and create a civilization of our own. We never expected to run into the Divine King Chi."

Shi Se said faintly: "Everyone is in this mess now, it's all because of the command of the Seven-Colored Divine Tree~"

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree said indifferently: "There is no big problem with my command. It's you Mantises who are too stupid. Your execution and adaptability are too poor. You always mess things up for one reason or another."

Shi Se: "So every time we get caught, we go to jail and you don't get hurt."

Nanase: "You should pay the price for your stupidity. Listen to my command. At least, you are still alive now."

"..."

Shi Se turned around, not wanting to argue.

Mo Lan's eyes turned and she said, "Seven-Colored Divine Tree! Great! It's you who are instigating the Mantis Warriors to do bad things!"

"What do you mean by doing bad things? You, a praying mantis, are not smart either."

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree was displeased and said, "In this universe, there is no such thing as good or bad, right or wrong. If you win or succeed, you are good and right. Otherwise, you are wrong and bad."

"That seems to make sense..."

Molan tapped her tentacles, as if thinking about something.

Long Bai: "..."

This seven-colored sacred tree...

I can understand this kind of tribe very well. They don't know how to manage and develop, but they have some strength. When they see other insects developing well and having good things, they steal and rob them.

In an era of peaceful development, these insects are either beaten to death or thrown into prison.

The Seven-Colored Divine Tree was right. It was a miracle that these guys were still alive.

Of course, it's not entirely useless.

In times of war and turmoil, these insects with strong nature and individual combat capabilities would be most useful. They could be sent to fight, charge into battle, and no one would feel bad if they died.

Long Bai did not dwell on the second question. After pondering for two seconds, he looked at Shi Se and said, "Finally, I also have a question for you. Where is the star system of the Divine King Chi?"

Shi Se asked back, “You don’t know?”

Long Bai: "I found a star system that was developed by the God King. I'm not sure if it's the one you encountered."

Ten colors: “…”

Shi Se said, "I only know the approximate location. The distance is about 1500 million light years. We have observed two of them. I will give you directions."

Shi Se asked, "We are all friends, you won't really kill us, right?"

Long Bai: "I'm not crazy, why would I want to kill you?"

Shi Se tentatively asked, "Then, how about rescuing us?"

Long Bai: "I'm afraid we can't save them. Our fleet is already full, and we don't have any repair ships or materials."

Long Bai said: "Our fleet carries alien scientists and engineers who have mastered the technological power of demigods. I will go and see what the current situation is in the star field of the God King Chi. If he escapes, we will use local materials to come back and rescue you and help you repair your starship..."
