Astral Ants

Chapter 996 I'm Not Lost

"Great Commander Longbai!"

Bai Wei suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where's Yu Teng?"

"Derris?"

"Yup!"

"Where's that guy Fishvine?"

"Why don't you come quickly and greet President Bai Wei!"

"It's very impolite."

"Hiss...are you really lost?"

"Is this okay?"

The grass dragon, Yudou, Qingtao, Nandi and other insects then came to their senses and started teasing each other, but their expressions gradually became solemn and they were speechless.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai said: "Yu Teng must have encountered some kind of accident on his way back and got lost. Then, by coincidence, he encountered the source point and was resurrected with the help of the source point's force."

Long Bai: "In my samsara universe induction, Fishvine is in a resurrection state, so I can't revive it. For unknown reasons, Fishvine did not die again after resurrection and has been in a resurrection state. This state has lasted for 40,000 years. I sense it every hundred years, and there has been no change."

"..."

What is this fellow Yu Teng doing? The insects were speechless.

Bai Wei asked: "Commander Longbai, can you determine the approximate location of the fish vine?"

Long Bai shook his antenna helplessly and said, "The distance is too far. I can only vaguely sense it and have no way of determining the direction."

Long Bai added: "The distance and range of my reincarnation universe's precise sensing is very limited."

"Forehead……"

Bai Wei asked: "What should we do then?"

Longbai still shook his antennae and said, "We have precisely measured and calculated the return path of Derris. Wuhua led the fleet to search in a straight line, but we couldn't find Derris. It deviated from its course."

"In the vast starry sky, it is extremely difficult to find a luminous galaxy with a diameter of more than 10 light years. Finding a bug with a span of more than four meters... is impossible. Now, the only way is for Derris to die and return."

Long Bai said, "I've thought about it carefully, and I can only think of one possibility... Yu Teng may have encountered a relic from the old universe, a relic of an ancient god, or a divine object derived from the new universe. Yu Teng couldn't take the treasure with him on his return journey after death, so he was reluctant to leave and die. I can't think of any other reason."

Long Bai: "The first to fourth reconnaissance groups are expected to return in 50 years. During this period, we will not move, just wait."

"Oh……"

Bai Wei had nothing to say.

……

The insects waited patiently.

Two years later,
With golden light shining, black magic in the form of a big-headed ant appeared.

"Commander Longbai, Commander Molan, the preliminary deduction is complete."

Hei Fa did not keep anyone in suspense. He waved his tentacles, and golden light burst out, sinking into the foreheads of the insects, writing the relevant information into the soul consciousness of the insects, and reported:
"Unfortunately, zero-energy spacetime is an extremely advanced and rare spatial ability that an artist can comprehend on his own, and it cannot be replicated. Therefore, firstly, it cannot be promoted in the Flame Spider Tribe; secondly, we currently do not have the ability to create zero-energy spacetime technology weapons."

Black Law explained: "The number of scientists under Star Shen'ao is not only small, but their abilities are also mediocre. It is almost impossible for them to achieve a breakthrough in this new field of super cognition. The 'Eternal Sleeping Black Tower' is likely to be a one-of-a-kind piece."

"Moreover, according to our calculations, the Eternal Sleeping Black Tower's restraining effect on demigod-level observers is probably extremely limited. After all, the artist himself is only at the level of the master of the universe. However, it is indeed quite deadly to be able to perfectly restrain the Void God warriors at the master level."

"it is good!"

"Understood!"

Long Bai activated his intelligent brain and quickly browsed the relevant information. He found no important results. He raised his claws and pointed at Luo Luota's corpse and the Void Godhead, saying:

"Hei Fa, take another look at this thing. It's mainly the Void Godhead. See if you can transform it into something like a 'Technology Star Core'."

"OK……"

Heifa agreed.

Longbai: "Send us out."

"Ok."

Black magic opens the teleportation portal.

The dragon cypress, black orchid, white rose, red peach, and giant cypress insects were teleported out of the black magic space, and some entered the life planet to hibernate, or returned to the starship to be on alert.

...

The reconnaissance fleets led by Molan and Bai Wei encountered the White Tower civilization halfway and had to turn back halfway.

The cosmic rays explored by the other four reconnaissance fleets do not have any forces of the White Tower civilization. They will sail and explore along the central axis of the cosmic ray as required, and then return to the end.

A long 10-year wait.
The first reconnaissance group that explored nearby Line 13 of the Crystal Throne returned.

Another 30 years later,
The 2nd Reconnaissance Regiment returned.

Not long after, the Third Reconnaissance Regiment returned.

It was not until 62 years later that the Fourth Reconnaissance Group returned.

There was no news from Yu Teng since then.

This guy is still alive...

……

The fleet entered the space of the Black Law.

All the management insects above the deputy commander-in-chief level of all the expeditionary coalition legions held a meeting under the tree-shaped king's nest.

Longbai said:

"The White Tower civilization has already taken shape. As time goes by, the number of their Void Protoss and Crystal Protoss continues to increase, and the rate at which they erode and pollute the universe continues to increase. We cannot give them time to continue to develop, and we must eradicate them as soon as possible."

"But to deal with a demigod civilization with tens of billions of combatants, demigod warriors, tens of millions of Void Protoss warriors proficient in space capabilities, and high-end space technology, our current strength is completely insufficient."

"Return to the Divine Tree Civilization and report the situation to the True God of Nature. Ask the True God of Nature to help in the battle. At the same time, ask the True God of Nature to organize and mobilize all the top forces of the Divine Tree Civilization, including the Amber Chamber of Commerce, the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce, the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, and the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce, to go out in full force and launch an expedition to suppress the enemy."

"For a civilized war of this scale, we must make adequate preparations before the war..."

As Long Bai spoke, he raised his claws and a burst of white light formed a holographic projection, and a star map at the level of cosmic rays and cosmic walls emerged.

Long Bai: "Three preparations. The first is pre-war reconnaissance and information collection. The second is soldier mobilization, organizational integration, and coordinated combat training. The third is war material preparation, mainly starships for war."

"The Temple of the Lord of the Ancient Prophet will produce god-level materials in about 2000 million years. It is predicted that new god-level starships will appear for use in war. Therefore, this war cannot be rushed. After 2000 million years, we will formulate a specific war strategy based on the situation of the Temple of the Lord of the Ancient Prophet."

"It will take us 1000 million years to return, so we have another 1000 million years to prepare..."

"Jubai and Baishi, you lead the first and second armies. Dongqing and Wulunzhu, you lead the first and second reconnaissance groups. Return first. Inform the True God of Nature, the Lord of Manchi, and the Lord of Samsara. At the same time, the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce will use all their reserve resources to train Zerg warriors as quickly and vigorously as possible, expand the scale of the chambers of commerce, select expedition warriors, and prepare for the next expedition."

"Roger that!"

Giant cypress, white smilax, holly and Wu Lunzhu responded in a resounding voice.

Long Bai continued, "There is also reconnaissance... Reconnaissance can be divided into two parts. The first is interstellar environment reconnaissance; the second is pre-war enemy reconnaissance."

"The enemy situation can change at any time, so detailed reconnaissance before launching a war is the most accurate."

"The distribution of cosmic rays and cosmic walls will not change much over tens of millions of years, so we can plan ahead."

As Long Bai spoke, he waved his tentacles and a scarlet mist was sent out, marking the two cosmic lines of the White Tower Realm and the Void God Realm. Another group of light red mist was sent out, marking the four cosmic lines of the outward expansion of the White Tower civilization.

Long Bai said: "In Luo Luota's memory, there is some information about the star map of the surrounding cosmic walls and cosmic rays, but it is not detailed. Let's take these six cosmic rays as the center, circle around them, collect light information, and properly complete the star map. It will be useful when we formulate strategies and tactics after all the preparations are completed in the future."

"President Bai Wei led the team to kill Luo Luota, which may have aroused the vigilance of the Baita civilization. Therefore, the fleet will not be deployed on a large scale. The Black Law will be in stealth mode. Every time it arrives at a supply point, it only needs to observe and collect data once."

"it is good."

"clear."

The insects agreed.

"Without further delay, Jubai, Baishen, Dongqing, and Wulunzhu, you must organize your team now, pack up and prepare, and set off within six months."

"it is good!"

"Roger that!"

The four insects agreed again.

Longbai nodded his antennae, and finally, somewhat helplessly, said: "We have lost a bug, and it is quite important, so we should not give up. My reincarnation universe resurrection and rebirth has a limit distance, and it will be ineffective if the distance is exceeded. Therefore, we will take 500 million years to conduct detection work around the sphere of influence of the White Tower civilization, and at the same time wait for Yu Teng."

"..."

The insects were speechless.

Long Bai gave his final instructions: "Lan Yan, you lead the team in this temporary star system. Use your abilities to take care of the temporary base and don't leave any living creatures behind."

"Roger that!"

Lan Yan agreed.

Longbai waved its antennae, signaling the insects to start moving.

…All blood and genes of the natural god system should not be leaked out, including certain bacteria and viruses that are accidentally spread.

Led by Lan Yan, the team activated their fire abilities to burn the makeshift life planet and the mining planet into red molten lava planets, ensuring that not a single living thing would remain.

half year later,
The fleet led by Jubai set off.

The Black Law then set off, circled the Black Tower II system, and burned down all the mines operating in the system.

Do the perfect work.

The Black Dharma headed straight for the cosmic ray numbered Crystal Throne No. 23.

...

According to the plan, they sneaked quietly, sailed around the cosmic rays around the territory ruled by the White Tower civilization, conducted reconnaissance and exploration, and collected data.

After 544 million years, the Black Magic returned to Line 13 of the Crystal Throne.

Sailing at maximum speed, we jumped to the Black Tower II galaxy and entered the temporary base.

The four-dimensional space-time of the Heifa will block the perception of the outside world. Heifa opens the teleportation portal, and Longbai is the first to teleport out, concentrating on sensing the traces of the fish vine...

"Great Commander Longbai!"

Bai Wei and her group of insects followed in a hurry and were teleported out.

"Long Bai?"

"Your Majesty?"

"what happened?"

The insects immediately noticed that something was wrong with Long Bai's expression.

"That fellow Yu Teng..."

Longbai raised his claws and pointed at the star system ahead. He was incredulous and said with difficulty: "There are very strong traces of the existence of Derris. It found its way back by itself? How did it get back from a distance of more than 800 million light years? The star navigation ability granted by the technological star core? It's only times the speed of light, right?"

"Moreover, the aura of life has also changed greatly, with a chaotic smell that makes insects uncomfortable... and the level of evolution..."

As Long Bai spoke, his figure disappeared and teleported to the life planet where the legion soldiers were once stationed, the red magma planet.

The insects followed suit and landed at the North Pole of the planet.

A pitch-black stone tablet stood in the frozen snowy plain, with two vertical lines of text inscribed on it using characters created by Xianglanshan:
[I am Yu Teng, I am not lost, I am back]

[Where did you go? I can't tell where you went, I'm going home first]

"..."

The insects were choked and then confused.

"Derris!"

“It went back by itself?”

"Look. Look. I've been saying that Yu Teng is just playing dumb! He just doesn't want to work. I've been saying that he's already in the master realm, how could he get lost?"

"Domination realm?"

"Isn't it right?"

"This stone tablet has been strengthened."

"Some dark chaotic power..."

"Also, it seems that it is not the pseudo-divine power of the Domination Realm anymore..."

"Why is it a bit close to the tree-shaped clone of the True God of Nature... the power of a demigod!"

"Could it be that……"

"That fellow Yu Teng..."

"Did they really come across a treasure from the old universe and make a breakthrough in one fell swoop?"

"Demigod realm? Failed to break through..."

"What a fool!"

"You're a complete idiot! Why don't you meet up with us first and make preparations before breaking through?"

"You only have one chance, why are you in such a hurry?"

"That's good now. It's gone."

"Yu Teng has no chance to meet the true God."

"We still have a chance..."

"We can't be as reckless as Yu Teng..."

"That's right. That's right..."

The insects looked at each other in shock, surprise, regret, envy, jealousy, and comforting each other.

"The traces are still fresh, no more than 50 years old."

Longbai waved his claws and said, "Yu Teng must be following the route we have already explored, and his speed is not fast. The fleet needs emergency reinforcements, let's chase!"

"Hurry up!"

"Quickly notify the Black Law!"

"..."

The fleet completed its replenishment as quickly as possible and set sail again.

After sailing 2300 million light years, we arrived at the next supply point.

Sure enough, there were traces left by fish vine.

It did know the way and was heading back the same way it came.

That's reassuring.
The Heifa followed the route it came from and returned as planned.

Gradually I realized something was wrong.
Derris has integrated the "trace" attached to the technological star core into its own core space capabilities, and has its own star navigation capabilities, but its maximum speed is only 800 times the speed of light.

Can the evolved demigod speed up? Even if it does, it will not exceed 1000 times the speed of light.

however,
The Black Law sailed at full speed but could not catch up. Longbai sensed the traces left by the derris and did not even feel that the distance between them was getting closer.

The insects speculated and discussed again, unable to figure out what was going on.

...

...

[Time: 160th Era-414 Yuan-903 Years]

The Black Fae was the first to return to the True Eight Rainbow Trout Line.

Sailing at full speed, the warp arrived at the Tenggou star system,
It was built at the order of the True God of Nature and is a fixed location for summoning the Temple of the Lord of Ancient Prophecy.

The tree-shaped clone of the True God of Nature, which carries the abilities of the six original True Gods of Nature, personally sits in charge and lives within the star.

Around the star, the planned nine interstellar war fortresses have already been built and put into operation. The five major chambers of commerce, Xianglan, Baijing, Amber, Baiwei, and Citi, are guarded by two million elite warriors.

Heiti led his intelligent robot army to garrison here and teleported to meet them.

Insects such as the jacaranda followed closely.

"Your Majesty!"

Hei Ti greeted them and reported at a very fast speed, "Yu Teng said that he got separated from you and came back early. Yu Teng is really amazing, he is at the semi-god level!"

Heiti then shook his tentacles again, with infinite regret and sigh, "What a pity, the impact on the true god failed. The only chance...so far, the only chance for the entire Divine Tree civilization to give birth to a true god has been lost just like that."

Hei Ti spoke quickly, "Yu Teng is still not smart enough. If it were me, I would definitely come back first, even if I have to crawl, I would crawl back and ask the True God of Nature for help first. Only when the True God of Nature says it's OK, will I break through. If the True God of Nature says it's not OK, I will reincarnate to make up for the problem. Doing this, although it's not 100% certain to succeed, the chances are definitely greater..."

Longbai raised his claws to interrupt. Just as he was about to ask, Bai Wei asked first: "What on earth did Yu Teng go through? How did he suddenly break through? Also, how did he come back? Where is the worm? Where did it go?"

"a little complicated……"

Hei Ti thought about it, and activated the ability of the Tree Flower Star Realm and Heart Realm to write the relevant information directly into the soul consciousness of the insects.

"!!!"

"Demon Spider?"

"Dark Chaos Lifeform? Gene plunder? Blood rebirth?"

"Great Sage Yu Teng?"

"Subspace navigation!"

"Infinite True Body! Demon's Nest?"

The insects were extremely shocked.
