Douluo: Become the Pope of Destiny in the Unrivaled World

Chapter 173 Can insects have intelligence?

After hearing Ironmade's inexplicable words, Levi wondered if Ironmade had any deeper meaning.
Ainmade would not bring such a thing forward for no reason. Could it be that Ainmade discovered something strange?

Whether insects have intelligence is a difficult question to answer.

From the perspective of life, all living things have consciousness and spiritual existence.

As a living being, wisdom is something that everyone should have.

Do insects have intelligence? Or are they more driven by instinct and wildness than intelligence?

It is difficult for Ainmade to answer this question as she is not an expert in this area.

"This... should be possible."

"It's just that for us humans, bugs are nothing at all. Each of us subconsciously ignores the existence of bugs, but isn't this normal?"

It’s like, does anyone care how many ants they have stepped on to death?
Theoretically speaking, if ants are considered intelligent creatures, then someone who steps on an ant to death has already killed another intelligent creature.

It’s just that the ants are too weak and no one cares about it.

So, this question doesn't make sense.

"Levi, if you think about it from another perspective, is there a possibility that we humans are the latecomers?"

"To the original creatures of this world, we are the invaders. We are the demons and enemies in their eyes."

"It's just that because humans are more powerful, they have become the dominant force in the world."

"But on the contrary, if a creature more powerful than humans appears one day, humans will become lambs to be slaughtered and food."

Racial superiority is really important. If one day humans are no longer the dominant species in this world, the end of humanity is doomed to be tragic.

"Are you trying to tell me that you discovered some indigenous creatures in this world?"

"Are you referring to the soul beasts that were born in this world? Although most of the soul beasts have a certain relationship with the war started by the Dragon God, in the final analysis, there are quite a few soul beasts in this world itself."

Levi remembered that Xuedi was this so-called ancient indigenous creature, right?
She is not a soul beast that fled to Douluo Continent because of failure in the battle in God Realm.

She was indeed a girl of ice and snow who was born in the Far North. God knows whether the concept of soul beast only came into being after the emergence of soul masters.

"No... that kind of thing can't be considered an indigenous creature."

Ainmed remembered that he had dug up a corpse in the Far North. There were actually such disgusting things in this world.

Even the Snow Emperor himself, who had ruled the Far North for such a long time, did not notice their existence!
God knows how huge the Zerg empire is deep beneath the continent today.

Ainmed has no way of judging what their purpose is.

But... one thing is certain, those bugs possess extremely high intelligence!
Ainmed once went to the depths of the canyon in the Far North and tried to talk to the bugs, but the bugs chose to hide.

Even the Death Knights she sent out, none of them encountered these bugs.

Those bugs hid themselves and deliberately did not appear in front of the members of the Church of Destiny.

Obviously, no matter whether it was the soul masters of Sea God Island, the soul beasts of the Far North, or even the people of the four empires, those bugs would look for opportunities to devour them. But those bugs only chose to give in to the Church of Destiny.

What exactly is the reason why the Zerg chooses not to communicate with the Church of Destiny? This is the thing that Ainmed is most curious about.

You clearly have the power to destroy everything on the surface, but why do you choose to hide deep underground?
Could it be that... they need something special?

"It seems that you have indeed discovered something, and it is something that you find troublesome. Do you need to discuss it with An Ran?"

Something that could give Ironmade a headache was quite rare for Levi. Neither the Four Great Empires nor the Ultimate Douluo had ever given Ironmade a headache.

But now, there is an unexpected surprise?

"Not for now. An Ran should have noticed this, but he can't find the key to the problem just like me."

"The other party refused to communicate with us. It was almost impossible for us to find them and communicate with them."

"All we can do is wait until the other party spits out its fangs."

After fully capturing the Necromancer's shattered soul, Revy and Ironmader secretly retreated back to the Mandate headquarters.

Next, their Pope might have to go to the Sun-Moon Empire, so one of them must stay at the Destiny Headquarters.

……

"You are really a little too timely. I remember that I agreed to your proposal in about an hour. How did your grandson and granddaughter appear in our Tianming headquarters?"

An Ran looked at the two little children in front of her and the old man Jing Hongchen.

This old guy is really... indescribable. He allowed his grandson and granddaughter to infiltrate the delegation?
"I can't help it. They are still young and I can't rest easy without them."

Jing Hongchen noticed An Ran's gaze and had no choice but to make a small excuse for his behavior.

It really can't be said that he abused his power for personal gain. He just brought his family out with him.

"I just feel that the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire really trusts you. The head of Mingde Hall went to handle diplomatic issues, and brought his family with him."

"He is really not afraid. You can defect with your family."

The emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire is really generous. Jing Hongchen is not just any ninth-level soul engineer.

If Jing Hongchen really leaves the Sun-Moon Empire, it will be a huge loss for the Sun-Moon Empire.

"I won't do that, and His Majesty the Emperor won't doubt me. He and I are..."

Jing Hongchen was about to say something, but found himself being led by the Pope of Destiny. He immediately closed his mouth and looked at the Pope of Destiny in front of him vigilantly.

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen looked at their grandfather and were very surprised that he suddenly protected them behind him. What happened and why didn’t they understand?
Weren’t we talking happily before? Why did you suddenly change your attitude?
"You manipulated my senses and my moods. Is this your power as the Pope?"

It was information that should not have been said, but I said it subconsciously, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
