Astral Ants

A spherical starship with a diameter of just over four kilometers, a wrinkled surface, and a black coating that blends perfectly with the darkness.

Hovering above a source point, it absorbed all the force released by the source point.

An oval white light door with a long axis of more than four meters: a teleportation portal

There was the Force seeping out of the portal.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Come here quickly!"

"This way!"

A leader ant hovered at the door, raising its antennae while releasing electromagnetic and pheromone signals to greet people.

The Glorious Throne teleported over a short distance.

Long Bai gave simple names to the 30 leader ants. This one is Sugi Lingyi, the leader of the third team.

"Are you sure it's the flagship of the 'Vafa Civilization'?"

Long Bai asked casually while looking at him warily.

The teleportation portal in front of you is different from a regular starship. It has no carrier, and the power is released from the inside and appears out of thin air.

A space force more advanced than the 'Stargate' awakened by Yu Teng.

In response to Long Bai's question, the leader ant named Shan Lingyi was confused for a moment, raised his claws and pointed at the teleportation portal, and said:
"My lord, it's safe! There's a source point! A second dimension world!"

--What?
——Dimensional world?
——Not a starship?
——What level of source point?
Upon hearing this, the insects straightened their legs and feet, and all their antennae stood up. After a brief pause, they rushed into action.

Mo Lan waved its tentacles and front paws, violently slapping away several Zou Wang that were rushing towards the teleportation portal, and was the first to dive into it and disappear.

"Don't mess around!"

"queue!"

Longbai scolded, kicked away the red maple and raspberry, and disappeared in a flash.

The light shines brightly, and the eyes are suddenly clear.
Entered a world of life!
Standing on the top of a mountain, there is a cliff platform paved with white jade.

The sky is warm and sunny.

Looking from a high point, there is an endless green jungle below the mountain.

Looking back, I saw an ancient palace carved against the cliff. In front of the palace, there were two statues seven or eight meters high, carved from white jade.

It is a bipedal upright creature, but it is significantly different from humans and artists. It has short and stubby legs, a stout body, a huge head that takes up a quarter of its body volume, and large ears like an elephant.

The two front legs are particularly long, and the seven fingers are slender, and look very flexible.

When viewed individually, the body proportions are very awkward, but when viewed as a whole, they are extremely well-proportioned and coordinated.

An all-round life race that possesses a super brain, flexible limbs and strong body.

The two sculptures are also very special.

He was wearing ancient armor, but had no weapons, and his expression was calm.

One sculpture slightly raises its head, with its right front foot raised flat in front of its chest and its left front foot stretched out and pointing to the sky.

One sculpture nods slightly, with its left front foot raised flat in front of its chest and its right front foot stretched out, with its fingertips pointing downwards and almost touching the ground.

The palace carved out of the stone wall at the back should, to be more precise, be a "temple" where some civilizations worshipped gods, or a "ancestral temple" or "ancestral hall" where the ancestors of the ethnic group were worshipped.

There are two complex and crude characters above the palace gate, which are unique to this civilization and it is impossible to recognize what they say.

Inside the palace.

There are twenty-two black jade sculptures seven or eight meters high standing in two rows on the left and right. They are covered in armor and hold strangely shaped weapons in their front paws, like guarding warriors.

There is a straight jade road in the middle, leading directly to the top of the palace.

3.5 steps,
The universal rules of the universe represent a level 3.5 civilization, which is a demigod-level civilization.

On the stage stood a black, white and gold statue that was over 20 meters tall. It was wearing a robe, had an exceptionally large head and a calm and peaceful face.

The statue's eyes are looking straight ahead towards the palace gate, its front paws are raised in front of its chest, and its palms are holding an egg-shaped jade object.

The other twenty-nine leader ants under Long Bai's command were crowded under the statue.

"Your Majesty!"

"The King is coming!"

"This way!"

"There's something!"

"Starship Control Hub!"

"We can't move it."

"Your Majesty, please come..."

The leader ant shook its antennae vigorously to greet people.

At the same time, other assistant kings and warriors arrived one after another. After looking around, they all looked at the tall and magnificent black, white and gold statues in the hall, and locked their eyes on the egg-shaped golden jade object held in its front paws.

"return!"

"do not move!"

"return!"

Longbai suddenly became extremely nervous and shook its antennae vigorously and shouted.

"???"

As Molan was kicking her legs to prepare for the move, she asked with a questioning look in her mind.

"Illusion!"

"Fake!"

Long Bai roared angrily, and at the same time, the star spots on his forehead flashed violently, and the energy of his whole body burst out violently. The world's elemental force slowly unfolded and expanded along with his mental power, overlapping with the world.

quickly,

Long Bai was horrified to find that his own world force was unable to shake the illusion of the dimensional world in the slightest.

——It’s not an illusion!
——It is also a world type power!

——A world created by the power of demigod-level laws!

Long Bai calmed down instantly and looked again at the egg-shaped golden jade object held in the front paws of the black, white and gold statues in the hall.

"Long Bai?"

"Your Majesty?"

"what happened?"

"Illusion?"

"Isn't it?"

"I'm familiar with this aura, this dimensional world."

"Have any insects sensed the dangerous energy?"

"No."

"I do not have."

"I do not have either."

"..."

The other insects were completely unaware and just stared at the cypress, not knowing what was going on.

The leader ant named Shan Lingyi was the last to teleport in. He raised his claws and pointed at the egg-shaped golden jade object deep in the hall, and said:
"My lord, that thing is controlling the teleportation portal! It seemed to be saying something to me, but it couldn't make it clear, and then it teleported me out."

"Oh?"

Before Longbai could start thinking,
suddenly,
Inside the hall, an egg-shaped golden jade object flashed with golden light, and a message was directly written into the soul consciousness of the insects:
"Sacred Tree Civilization?"

"Wow!" "There's something!"

"Who are you?"

The insects were startled and subconsciously shrank behind Longbai, Molan, and Shield Pillar. Then they realized: Starship brain? Digital life? Intelligent machinery?

Molan and Shield Pillar raised their paws at the same time, signaling for silence.

Long Bai replied in a deep tone, "The Divine Tree Civilization, the direct descendant of the True God of Nature, the Divine Blood Insect Race."

Longbai introduced himself: "I am the Longbai Ant King of the Giant Ant Tribe, and the chief of the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce. Are you the flagship intelligent brain of the Vafa civilization?"

The egg-shaped golden jade object flashed with golden light, transmitting information to the soul consciousness of all insects.

"The flagship of the Vafa civilization, the Black Fa. My name is Black Fa, a digital life. More strictly speaking, I am a starship-type omnic."

Heifa asked back, "Do you know the Wafa civilization?"

Long Baihan said: "We have special insects and trees responsible for collecting and recording information about cosmic civilizations. There are records about the Vafa civilization, but the information is very limited. We only know that it is a civilization that specializes in space technology and has reached the demigod level, a half-technological and half-Force civilization. You don't have a fixed territory, you travel in the starry sky and make a living through trade."

Long Bai asked: "Is this a dimensional world? This is not the real world!"

Heifa replied, "Yes. A dimensional world. The real world has been destroyed. This is the mirror world."

Hei Fa asked, "Captain Longbai, you should be one of the strongest warriors in the Shenshu Civilization, right? And the warriors next to you, especially the one beside you, you should be the most powerful young warriors in the civilization, right? Or are there a large number of warriors like you in the Shenshu Civilization?"

After a brief conversation, Long Bai made a preliminary judgment in his mind: first, the other party had no ill intentions; second, he was full of curiosity and even awe of the sacred tree civilization; third, it was a digital life with very strong life characteristics.

Long Bai pointed at Mo Lan beside him and introduced him, "It's called Mo Lan, the leader of the Xiang Lan Chamber of Commerce. In our Shenshu civilization, Mo Lan is indeed the strongest warrior of the same level, and it's rare for one to appear in 80,000 years."

Long Bai said truthfully: "We are all elite warriors selected from thousands of people in the Chamber of Commerce."

Hei Fa seemed to be relieved and said, "That makes sense."

Long Bai ignored him and asked, "Just now, you said that the dimensional world was destroyed?"

Black Law: “Yes.”

Long Bai asked, "What happened? Civil war?"

Black Law: “No.”

A message filled with deep sadness was written directly into the soul consciousness of all insects.

"We in the Vafa civilization have heard that the Divine Tree civilization has established an 'open galaxy' and opened a special trading point where all civilizations can go to trade. The Vafa civilization is looking forward to contacting and communicating with this emerging god-level civilization, traveling across a distance of 30 billion light years..."

"When the fleet was approaching its destination, it unexpectedly encountered an innate god named 'Star God Chi' who had rescued us billions of years ago."

"Adilai was careless and actually invited the other party to visit the dimensional world. During the conversation, Star God Chi suddenly launched a sneak attack..."

"An evil and powerful innate god. It killed Adila, exterminated the bloodline of the Wafa tribe, and looted all the resources that could be taken away from the dimensional space. Star God Chi also wanted to seize control of the Black Law. He found that I was a special demigod-level intelligent machine, and the internal derived dimensional space could not be disassembled. In the end, he dismantled my power system and energy system."

"I asked Xingshen Chi why he wanted to repay kindness with hatred. Xingshen Chi replied that the universe was about to be destroyed and everything was about to end, and he wanted to survive."

"..."

"Star God Blazing!"

Long Bai and his group stared at each other, choking with silence and serious expressions.

Long Bai thought quickly and asked, "Heifa, is the Adila you mentioned the leader of the Wafa civilization?"

Black Law: “Yes.”

Longbai: "Demigod-level Force life?"

Black Mage: "Dominate the peak."

Long Bai asked: "This flagship of the Navafa civilization... your power system and energy system were stolen? Then how did you survive the destructive force of the universe?"

The surface of the egg-shaped golden jade 'Mechanical Heart' flashed with golden light, and a message was transmitted to the soul consciousness of the insects.

"I am an intelligent machine in the form of a starship. I can be considered an independent life form, fundamentally different from a regular starship. The mechanical heart is my core, the outer shell is my armor, and the inner dimensional world is my body. As for the power system and energy system... by analogy... they are equivalent to your legs and feet for walking, as well as part of the system for eating, digesting, and storing energy."

"I lost the power to jump across space, but my primary power is still there, so I can travel at sub-light speed. I can also use my god-level skill 'Four-dimensional Space-Time'."

"At that time, Star God Chi was busy fleeing for refuge, and the star field it ruled was in chaos. I took advantage of the chaos to find a third-level source point as a base, absorbed the Force, repaired the dimensional world that was on the verge of collapse due to the battle, and restored its defense function."

"My four-dimensional space-time can ignore the spatial collapse of the universe returning to zero, and can withstand the destructive impact of the explosion of the universe. So, I survived."

"After enduring a long period of chaos and extinction, I wandered aimlessly in the starry sky, looking for new galaxies. I finally found a source with abundant matter. I was planning to recover the damage, accumulate the original force, collect matter to reconstruct the world of life, and promote the evolution of a new life group. As a result..."

As a result, they met Long Bai and his team and detonated the red hypergiant.

"..."

The insects were silent.

Hei Fa asked, "Great Chief Longbai, in the new era of the universe, how is the recovery of your Divine Tree civilization going?"

Long Bai answered truthfully: "The old universe was destroyed 20 billion years earlier. Our Shenshu civilization failed to obtain the news in time and was caught off guard, suffering heavy losses. Currently, we have only occupied and developed three star systems and are in the initial stage of civilization recovery."

"You are now in the fourth galaxy that has just evolved order, officially named the 'Amber Galaxy'. My group is the first batch of elite Zerg warriors to arrive after receiving the news. We are searching for the source."

After a brief explanation, Long Bai asked, "Hei Fa, are you planning to evolve a life race? Are you planning to develop technology and rebuild a power system and energy system for yourself?"

“This is how I planned it…”

Heifa asked, "It is said that your Divine Tree Civilization also has a clan that is good at technology? Then, do you, in the new era of the universe, need starships to redevelop and develop?"

"Of course!"

Molan jumped up and answered, introducing enthusiastically, "Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is the most inclusive one. We have 100,000 Zerg warriors from various tribes, as well as beast warriors and innate gods. We also accept intelligent machines!"

"Innate gods?"

Hei Fa was alert and nervous. "Star God Chi established a civilization called 'Star God Alliance'. I heard that it depends on your Divine Tree civilization for survival?"

"It's not considered an attachment, there's no formal alliance relationship."

Long Bai said indifferently: "Naturally, the True God allowed them to survive nearby. After receiving the news that the universe was about to be destroyed, Star God Chi did not inform the Divine Tree Civilization, and even deliberately concealed it. His heart is worthy of death. Star God Chi and its Star God allies are already on the list of our Divine Tree Civilization. It would be fine if they did not survive the destruction of the universe. If they did, they would definitely encounter it again in the new era of the universe. We must kill it and completely wipe it out from the universe."

"Oh--"

Hei Fa asked worriedly, "Then the Star God Ao you are talking about is... This sounds like the name of the innate god of the Star God Alliance."

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, it is indirectly related to the demise of your Wafa civilization. It's a long story, so please listen patiently."

Long Bai narrated slowly: "300 billion light years away, in the Crystal Throne Galaxy Cluster, there is a technological civilization called 'White Tower'..."

Long Bai tells in detail how the artist left the White Tower Civilization for unknown reasons after hearing the news that the universe was about to be destroyed ahead of schedule, and how he traveled far to visit the Divine Tree Civilization, passing through the Star God Alliance, and was tricked to death by the Star God Ao...

Also, Star God Ao got the news from the artist that the universe was about to be destroyed, and he fled decisively, but at the same time he informed Star God Chi of the news...

Then, when Xingshen Chi was packing up and preparing to flee, the Vafa civilization sent him up...

This universe doesn't seem that big.
After going around in circles, it turns out that everyone's experiences are connected.

One cannot help but suspect that there seems to be a thread of fate that is pulling the two sides together here today.

Black magic: "..."

Black Law: "Star God Chi plundered the wealth of the Vafa civilization. With advance preparation, the probability of survival is close to 100%!"

Mo Lan said lightly: "That would be the best. If we encounter it in the future, we will help you kill it."

"it is good!"

Black Law said: "But, I definitely can't use the power system of Star Shen'ao's starship that you mentioned."

Heifa: "You can first take a look at the remains of the Vafa civilization."

After saying this, the Mechanical Heart lit up with brilliant golden light.

Sculptures, palaces, mountains and vegetation melted away.

The daylight in the sky disappeared.

The entire space instantly fell into darkness and coldness.
Scanning with mental power, the insects were found standing on the ruins of a magnificent building.

The technological city collapsed and shattered in the battle, and the metal buildings were torn into pieces.

Around the city, there are densely packed, endless, raised graves and tombstones with names engraved on them.

The cemetery of the Wafa civilization. (End of this chapter)
