Astral Ants

The metallic energy that condensed the silver-gray light cocoon quickly converged.

There was a clicking sound.

The cypress broke through its shell and crawled out.

He lowered his head and felt it again. The special metal energy pressure was still strong, but it no longer had much impact on him.

After realizing his own body, part of the titanium sand that was originally floating on the shell was integrated into his flesh and blood, greatly increasing his body strength.

The perfect combination of primordial energy metal and organic life form is the true biological transformation.

Long Bai withdrew his thoughts and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he buried his head in thought.

Inherited memories are all lies.

There was probably more than one true God in the old universe.

The new universe does not have only one civilization, the natural god system.

The one who lives in the parent star is most likely not the real body of the true God of nature.

The true God of Nature is most likely leading the powerful Overlord warriors of the Zerg civilization to search for and destroy other surviving civilizations.

There is nothing wrong with inheriting memories. If all other civilizations are destroyed, then wouldn’t the natural god system be the only god-level civilization in the universe?
There are a lot of civilizations to deal with.

A thousand?

In the eyes of the True God of Nature, even a god-level creation like the Crystal Throne that seals an old god is not as threatening as him.

"Let me handle it?"

"The key is that you don't give any benefits at all?"

"Isn't this a joke?"

"Naturally, the true God cannot joke."

Long Bai thought about it and figured out a key question:
If he were to deal with it himself, he would definitely not go alone, but lead a large group of insects.

Naturally, the true God would not, and there is no reason for him to, arrange a large group of Zerg warriors to die.

Well, at least, from the perspective of the True God of Nature, the Crystal Throne, the Kast Elemental Civilization, and the White Tower Civilization are not very dangerous.

Easy to deal with.

I am capable of dealing with it.

...

and also,

The True God of Nature came to me, and his original intention was definitely not to seek help from the Crystal Throne and the White Tower Civilization. Instead, he was probably intending to guide my growth and evolution.

Does that mean that, after being personally certified by the True God of Nature, I have the potential to evolve into a god?
I have to say, he should have some god-level wisdom.

Thinking of this, Long Bai felt excited and proud.

...

and also,

When he was on his home planet, Longbai had wondered more than once whether the true God of Nature could be a tree.

Hearing about the existence of the 'Tree-shaped clone of the God of Nature', Long Bai directly suspected that the true body of the God of Nature was a tree. Therefore, Xianglan Mountain was strictly prohibited from participating in any form of God-given seed trading or exchange.

Now, after personal contact and communication, my guess has been confirmed: the true God of Nature is a tree!

Moreover, it looks very much like it evolved from some kind of elm tree.

In nature, plants are the gods, inheriting the bloodline of the true gods of nature.

The Zerg have long coexisted and co-existed with natural god plants, and indirectly obtained their god-level bloodline from the plants.

Long Bai had doubts about this when he obtained the fragmentary memories of the beast.

In the Creator Civilization, the azure God-given seed, also known as 'Rong', is the oldest and most powerful plant, and the founder of a third-level civilization.

But in the natural god system, the azure god-given seeds have fallen to the middle level and can barely be considered as high-quality large trees. Compared with the double-excellent and top-level god-given seeds, the gap is extremely large.

Since Azure was reborn as a seed after being beaten back to the Domination Realm, he is a 'super-quality God-given seed' and is supported by this.

The higher it evolves, the more mediocre the azure god-given seeds appear compared to other god-given seeds of the natural pantheon.

On the other hand, the power of the divine bloodline of the natural God-given plants gradually emerges starting from the half-star realm.

Most of them are still relatively low-intelligence.

But those few who are smart are all extremely talented and have unlimited potential.

For example, the silver oak seed given by God in front of you.

For example, the unknown existence that interrupted the umbrella bird's self-destruction and scolded the silver oak was also a plant, at the level of the master, with sacred majesty and unfathomable strength.

On the other hand, the Zerg warriors

During the process of growth and evolution, they are highly dependent on plants.

...

"We also have many Force plants in Xianglan Mountain that have awakened their wisdom and are extremely intelligent."

"I should collect more knowledge, impart more knowledge to them, collect more cosmic matter, and increase their knowledge."

"Find something for each tree to do based on its preferences and characteristics. Combining theory with practice will lead to the highest growth efficiency..."

"We also need a sufficiently wide territory of the third-level source planet for them to take root..."

Long Bai pondered, composed himself, raised his head and looked around.

The water tentacles activated, gathered up the spider silk bag, tied up the carapace, and flew in the direction of the silver oak god-given seed.

Ran more than 100 kilometers,

Longbai slowed down.

This place is only a hundred kilometers away from the silver oak seeds bestowed by God.

Continuing forward, gradually, the metal pressure became stronger and harder to resist.

Long Bai insisted on walking forward for twenty or thirty kilometers and then stopped.

Bury your head,

The tentacles moved the silver-gray sand to see,
At this location, some of the sand has been successfully transformed into the third-grade metal material "titanium sand".

"Why is the Silver Oak God-given Seed silent?"

"Does this count as my understanding of the 'Titanium Will'?"

"It's a little bit opportunistic, it can definitely see that, it's probably struggling."

Long Bai's mind turned, and he waved his tentacles, digging deep into the sand and stirring it.

He raised his antennae and shook them gently.

There is a sparse layer of silver-gray "titanium sand" on the tentacles.

The thought moves again,

Open your mouth and take a breath.
Grains of sand flew into his mouth.

The body transformed from a cocoon pupa can digest the titanium sand relatively easily without the assistance of refining ability.

After being absorbed, it spreads throughout the body along the bloodstream, transforming into 'biometal', greatly strengthening the body.

Longbai walks slowly.

stop-and-go.

The tentacles penetrate the sand to stir, sift and devour.

The further you go, the higher the content of 'titanium sand' in the sand layer.

Only half a day,

Body saturation.

Untie the spider silk rope and remove the spider silk bag.

Shed its shell and evolve again.

as predicted,

The pressure of that metallic energy was reduced to almost nothing again.

Longbai ran to the silver oak tree given by the god.

At an altitude of five or six hundred meters, the leaves are covered with silver fluff, shining brightly, like a silver mountain.

"I've seen the sacred silver oak tree!"

"Um--"

"Although you didn't comprehend the Titanium Will using my method, you have achieved the goal of the Titanium Transformation, so you have passed."

"Thank you, Silver Oak Sacred Tree!"

"Just now, spatial fluctuations from the dimensional world appeared in my titanium white volume, and the breath of the tree-shaped clone of the True God of Nature appeared. Ant, have you seen the True God of Nature?"

"Yes--"

Long Bai vaguely felt that dozens of obscure consciousnesses from nowhere were paying attention to this side.

The Silver Oak Sacred Tree asked, "A chance to ask a question?"

Long Bai: "Yes."

Yin Qi: "Are you asking how to evolve into a god?"

Longbai: "There is no more important question than this."

Yin Qiao: "What does the True God of Nature say?"

Long Bai: "The God of Nature said that he had noticed me on my home planet, and praised me for being a thoughtful and wise insect, who had comprehended my own optimal evolutionary path at a young age. He also told me that if I could use another White Crystal Law Fruit and comprehend the way of reincarnation, I would be perfect. The God of Nature reminded me to ask the White Crystal Divine Tree for one..."

Yinqiu: “…”

"lie!"

"Nonsense!" "Ants are not honest!"

"The greedy big ant!"

"Bai Jing, are you there?"

"Bai Jing, don't hide. I know you are paying attention to this place."

"Bai Jing, tell Ant."

……

Many mental powers and thoughts that were secretly paying attention to this side jumped out one after another.

A spiritual thought said slowly: "I have already comprehended the ability of 'Nature's God's Gift' and no longer produce the fruit of the law."

What?
Long Bai: "???"

Yin Jue said indifferently: "For the Law God Tree and the God-given Seed of God, the fruit is just a carrier for accumulating original energy and transmitting power. When the evolution reaches a certain level, the natural God-given power is understood and the power is accumulated by itself. There is no need for the fruit as an intermediary, and it can be 'given' directly."

"Oh--"

"Been taught a lesson!"

Long Bai had no idea that his lie had been exposed, and he said with great enlightenment: "I was puzzled when the True God of Nature said that. The flowering and fruiting cycle of the Law Fruit is so long, it is impossible for me to encounter the fruit ripening and harvesting by such a coincidence..."

"So it turns out that there is no need for flowering and fruiting, and the ability can be granted directly. I misunderstood. The True God of Nature should mean that the White Crystal Divine Tree should grant me the ability to be reborn."

"Still lying!"

"court death!"

"Can this lie be made up?"

"This fat ant is very flexible."

“You’re really brave!”

"How dare you lie to us!"

"How to deal with it?"

"Is that the World Gem on its back? Did it come in with the gem?"

"Insatiable!"

"Take it off!"

……

Yin Qiao explained again: "Although the White Crystal Divine Tree no longer blooms and bears fruit, the 'White Crystal Divine Gift' is not activated at will. It also has a process of accumulating and transforming power. Moreover, the time is the same as the flowering and fruiting, which takes a long 1,107 years."

"This time, the power of reincarnation has been bestowed on the best warriors who have landed on the Red Robin Star. Naturally, the True God's tree-shaped clone cannot be unaware of this."

"Besides, the White Crystal Divine Gift for other times has already been reserved by bugs. There are 100,000 bugs waiting in line, so it won't be your turn."

"Forehead……"

Long Bai felt that he had fallen into a trap and dared not speak. He lowered his head and drooped his tentacles, looking as if he had realized his mistakes and was repentant.

Yin Qiu asked, "Ant, what did the True God of Nature teach you? Tell me in detail. I also have some accomplishments in the field of metal bionics. Tell me about it and we can discuss it."

Long Bai changed his train of thought and said truthfully: "Actually, the question I asked is not how to evolve into a god."

"???"

Questioning thoughts and ideas flooded in.

"Ok?"

"So what did you ask?"

"Is there anything more important than becoming a god?"

"Ant, are you stupid or are we stupid?"

"Fat Ant, what are you doing now?"

"I have a good temper, but my patience is limited. If you dare to lie again, I might not be able to help but beat you to death."

"..."

The Ultimate Beast Star Spot on Longbai's forehead flashed, and the purple-red technological star core and the artist's armor flew out and were displayed in front of him. He spoke in a sincere and calm tone:
"This is a technological creation from a third-level peak civilization called 'White Tower' in the old universe. I asked the True God of Nature for information about the White Tower civilization."

"Naturally, the True God looked down on the White Tower civilization, so I never knew about it. However, I did hear about another, more powerful existence..."

The irritable trees quieted down, their curiosity overflowing.

Yin Qi asked: "What existence?"

Long Bai integrated the information and explained: "Crystal Throne Galaxy Cluster, Crystal Throne. In the ancient universe, an unknown old god used the black hole in the center of the galaxy as raw material to create a god-level artifact, which sealed another old god inside. The Natural True God guessed that it should be an unkillable god, sealed and exiled to the void, but for unknown reasons, it returned to the universe."

"This thing releases a highly aggressive and mutated 'crystal energy' that can assimilate and crystallize other matter in the universe. Influenced by the power of the Crystal Throne, the 'Kaist Elemental Civilization' was first derived in a certain galaxy. This civilization continued to expand, and led to the crystallization of the entire galaxy, as well as thousands of other galaxies."

"In order to resist the invasion of the Kesst Elemental Civilization, the Crystal Throne Galaxy Cluster, many galaxies, and many civilizations united to form the 'White Tower Civilization'."

——Crystal Throne.

——A divine creation.

——The sealed old god.

——Alien invasion!
This melon is big enough!
Yinqiu asked, "Ant, is there anything else? Why are you asking this question?"

Long Bai: "I personally experienced and felt the power of space and the White Tower civilization. I am very worried. Has this civilization escaped the catastrophe of the destruction of the universe? If it has escaped, and the fire of civilization has been passed down, will it pose a threat to the survival and development of our natural civilization? I was worried about this, so I asked. I didn't want to ask a question, I mainly wanted to remind the True God of Nature. But the True God of Nature did not understand my painstaking efforts and treated it as a question. My only opportunity to ask a question was wasted just like that."

After Long Bai finished speaking, he took back the purple-red technology star core and the artist armor.

Yin Qi asked, "Anything else?"

Long Bai asked in return: "In the old universe era, our natural civilization used various means to collect intelligence from other civilizations in the universe, considering their current and future threats to the Zerg civilization and classifying them. Do you know about this?"

"nonsense."

"know."

"of course I know."

"What level is the Crystal Throne? It should be the highest level 4 threat, right?"

"Yes. Level 4 extreme threat. But there are more than a thousand such civilizations, and the Crystal Throne is not on the list."

"Can't get a number?"

"That means it's not great?"

"uncertain."

"There are too many alien civilizations to deal with."

"I heard that in the old universe, bugs were causing trouble everywhere and making enemies all over the universe. They must deal with those civilizations with old enemies first."

"At present, our natural civilization has too few warriors who can take the stage. Maybe they are too busy?"

"Ant, I'm counting on you."

"Ant, I'll assign you a mission. When you have the strength in the future, go over and see what's going on."

"It would be best to find and bring back the crystal throne so that we can open up our eyes."

"..."

The tone of voice is the same.

There is no doubt that the true god of nature is plants.

but,

These guys were clearly joking.

In the joke,
The mental strength and intention gradually receded.

"White Crystal Sacred Tree?"

Long Bai called out hurriedly, "Everyone, don't leave yet! I haven't finished what I want to say yet..."

The White Crystal Divine Tree said slowly, "Ant, you already have enough abilities. Currently, I see three core evolutionary directions in you: bionics, imitation of change, and absolute adaptation."

"The next step of bionics is creation; the next step of imitating change is ever-changing; the next step of absolute adaptation is to reach a transcendent state of 'indestructible, incorruptible, and immortal'. The True God of Nature has taken the initiative to summon you, and he must be optimistic about your 'absolute adaptation'."

"Put more effort into 'absolute adaptability', and go one step further, and reach the state of 'indestructible and incorruptible'. Then come to me after you break through the Evolution Brilliance Realm. The White Crystal God will give you the element of 'immortality'."

"Your bionics and imitations are not bad either. They are in line with your personality in every aspect. I'm not saying you should give up, but you must prioritize. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Long Bai was ecstatic, "Thank you for the guidance of the White Crystal Divine Tree!"

...

The spiritual power and intention of the White Crystal Divine Tree receded.

The spiritual power and thoughts of other dominant plants also disappeared.

Yin Qiao: "Ant, according to the rules, you can take as much of my titanium sand as you can. However, I remind you that the teleportation power you cast when you leave is limited. If you cast too much, it will be too heavy, and you will be too greedy, something may go wrong, and you will end up with nothing."

"understand!"

"Thank you, Silver Oak Sacred Tree!"

"I am a real ant."

"I'm not greedy!"

Longbai looked around.

Looking around, there is a silver-gray desert that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Near the silver oak seeds bestowed by God, the titanium sand content in the sand under your feet exceeds one percent.

How huge a fortune is this?
"It's a pity that we are not allowed to take more..."

"I took too much. Even if I take them out, I'm afraid the Saint Butterfly Warriors won't be able to talk to me..."

Longbai sighed, activated his water tentacles, opened a spider silk bag, waved his tentacles to sweep, and filled the bag. (End of this chapter)
