Astral Ants

The Taber was teleported directly into the Black Law, under the tree-shaped royal nest that belonged to the Dragon Cypress.

A black magic flash appeared in the form of a giant ant with golden light.

"Boss Longbai, you're back!"

"Um--"

"Are you having trouble breaking through the Domination Realm?"

"..."

"Not really. It hasn't officially started yet."

Long Bai activated his ability and took the Taber back to the Shanglu space. At the same time, he took out the Throne of Domination, transformed it to its largest size, and placed it in front of him.

Long Bai went straight to the point and said, "Hei Fa, I remember you said that the Vafa civilization's attainments in the field of biotechnology have reached the third level peak, close to the level of demigods? Scan and examine the Ruling Throne, analyze its structure and operating principles... and then calculate whether you can replicate it and create a larger one that can produce ant eggs more efficiently, preferably a more powerful throne that can replenish the soul ants."

Black magic: "..."

Heifa: "Boss Longbai, I have wanted to ask about the Ruling Throne for a long time, but due to privacy restrictions, I cannot ask proactively..."

Hei Fa asked, "Boss Long Bai, where did this thing come from? Was it given to you by the True God of Nature?"

"Of course! I guess."

"I picked it up when I was still a junior ant on my home planet."

Long Bai asked: "Hei Fa, is there any special explanation for ruling the throne?"

"Of course!"

Heifa asked back: "You don't know its... origin?"

"origin?"

Long Bai had been puzzled for a long time. Xing Shen Ao couldn't even figure out the principle of how the Throne of Domination produced ant eggs...

Upon hearing this, I immediately realized that things were not simple.

Long Bai thought about it and said:
"When I obtained the Ruling Throne, I got a piece of information. The things came from a relatively weak, half-Force, half-technological, third-level civilization called 'Creator Civilization.' The human civilization destroyed and looted the Creator Civilization, and the things were taken by the human race. More information is unknown."

"Forehead……"

"It can be seen that its design and manufacturing process are not sophisticated."

Hei Fa asked, "Boss Longbai, you should understand, right? Copying and cloning ordinary life is simple, and primitive zero-level technological civilization can do it easily. However, copying and cloning force life is difficult even for a third-level civilization that focuses on life science and technology. At least, it cannot reach the level of the Throne of Domination, and it is impossible to cultivate Commander Ants and Rain Master Ants."

Black Law paused, then said directly: "The reason why it can exert functions beyond its own technological level is mainly due to the 'Fragment of Creation', which is the core of the Throne of Domination."

Long Bai asked: "Fragments of Creation?"

"Yes."

Black Law: "According to unverified legends, in the first cosmic era at the beginning of the universe, there was an extremely special life planet named 'Star of Creation', also known as 'Mother of All Living Things'."

"This planet has the ability to evolve living beings beyond the laws of the universe. On the Star of Creation, the 'first generation of ancient gods' were born... not just one race, but similar to the innate gods of the universe, the elemental life forms derived from specific environments, and a variety of innate force life forms with unlimited potential were derived. They can easily break through and evolve into true gods."

Black Law: "The Eternal Star Civilization once conducted a reverse calculation of the universe's time and space based on the unreliable legends, reliable information, and traces they collected..."

"The deduction yielded a result that somewhat subverts everyone's cognition. It is said that in the original universe, the center was a god-level source point, and the 'Star of Creation' was located above the source point. The universe at that time was eternal, and there was no cycle of destruction and rebirth."

"It is speculated that a large number of first-generation ancient gods fought fiercely for the right to rule the universe. The god-level source point and the star of creation collapsed in the war, and the universe collapsed and was destroyed."

"The universe was reborn, but it could no longer generate god-level source points, so it became what it was later, and what it is now."

"After the collapse of the Creation Star, 99% of its mass turned into the power of creation and merged into the laws of the universe. Moreover, this power is eternal and inextinguishable. Therefore, it can be seen that in every reincarnation era, after the matter stabilizes, various strange and bizarre life races evolve in various incredible cosmic environments."

"The core of the star of creation shattered into 'creation fragments' that are not affected by the cycle of birth and death of the universe, and are scattered throughout the universe."

After Heifa finished speaking, he added: "Of course, these are all deductions and speculations based on a limited amount of information and traces that are not completely reliable. They are not conclusive and cannot be concluded."

"But the Fragment of Creation is a real treasure of the universe. The Vafa civilization was fortunate enough to obtain a piece, and it was given to me to fuse. As a result, I gained the ability of 'creation'."

"Boss Longbai, if I hadn't met you, I would have accumulated my own strength, simulated the environment, evolved life, cultivated an intelligent race, developed into a high-tech civilization, and helped me get out of this predicament."

"Oh--"

"Creating an intelligent civilization from scratch? That's not an easy task... Heifa, you're lucky..."

Long Bai tilted his head, thinking rapidly, and after a long time of thinking, he got back to the point and asked, "Hei Fa, then, can we use this 'Fragment of Creation' to build a 'New Throne of Domination' that is larger in size, produces ant eggs more efficiently, and cultivates stronger ant colonies?"

Black magic: "..."

Black Magic said in embarrassment: "The creation fragments also have their limits..."

Heifa asked, "Boss, the development of the Amber Galaxy will soon enter the stage of planet construction and zero-level source point reclamation. You need to cultivate ant colonies on a large scale, manage source points, and cultivate more force plants and Zerg warriors, right?"

Long Bai: "Of course!"

Long Bai asked: "Hei Fa, do you have any better suggestions?"

Hei Fa: "Boss, aren't you trying to comprehend the laws of the world, and are you planning to break through the evolutionary domination realm by mainly comprehending the power of bionics, creation, and world-building?"

"I have a perfect plan that can help you break through the evolutionary dominance realm and increase the number of ant eggs produced."

Black Law: "Boss, you have a spatial world ability, but because you have no spatial talent, it has been ignored."

"Shanglu space?"

Long Bai said, his tentacles suddenly erected, and said: "Hei Fa, you don't need to ask too much, and you don't need to explain too much, just give me the plan!"

"Roger that!"

Hei Fa didn't say much. He lightly tapped his tentacles and a ray of golden light hit Long Bai, directly writing the relevant information into the soul consciousness.

A huge amount of information.
It can be roughly divided into three steps:

The first step is to transfer the "trace" of Shanglu space back to itself, fill the space with matter, use abilities or equipment to assist, build a simple ecological system, and render it with its own world force.

After reaching a certain level, the creation fragments are integrated into the Shanglu space and transformed into a "vessel" similar to the "Innocent Kingdom". But it is not a vessel, because it uses its own body as a carrier.

Carry a world with you.

The world of Phytolacca.

Of course, this world cannot be made of physical matter. After the transformation is completed, the matter must be taken out and the power must be used to transform it into a semi-real and semi-virtual energy world.

The second step is to spend some time comprehending the Shanglu world, and the abilities in the field of 'bionics and creation' can be directly improved and enhanced. On this basis, it will be much easier to further comprehend the laws of the world.

If you comprehend the laws of the world, you can break through to the realm of evolutionary domination.

The Domination Realm then uses the world's divine power to continue rendering the Shanglu world, completely transforming it into an 'independent space with world characteristics'.

That is, it is similar to the Pure Land.

Once this step is completed, the space can continue to grow and expand slowly by absorbing the world's divine power.

The third step is to create a set of equipment similar to the Throne of Domination, place it in the Shanglu World, and use its own world divine power to drive it to produce ant eggs through the Shanglu World.

...

The information provided by Hei Fa was meticulous to the point of being detailed, including the method of integrating creation fragments, the application of creation abilities, and various ways and means of comprehending the laws of creation, the laws of the world, and even the laws of creation.

It also includes detailed methods for transforming the Shanglu space, the materials required for equipment manufacturing and a complete set of drawings.

He even helped Long Bai to plan out the direction of comprehending the laws of the three realms of Star Domain Master, Starry Sky Master, and Universe Master after breaking through the Evolution Master realm, the direction of breakthrough evolution, as well as the specific methods of comprehending the laws and the key points in between.

...

"Hei Fa, what do you think of the throne of domination? How should we dismantle it?"

Long Bai asked.

Black Law: "The integration is ultimately solidified and can only be dismantled violently."

"..."

Long Bai hesitated and suddenly felt reluctant.

At the beginning, when he was still a junior ant king, he obtained the Ruling Throne when he was the weakest and most helpless in his insect life. With the help of the special functions of the Ruling Throne, he got through the most difficult starting period. After gaining a certain strength, he and Molan drove the Ruling Throne together, galloped across the Yunji Continent, conquered the Wanglan Continent, left the mother planet, and traveled through the starry sky.

The Ruling Throne has accompanied us all the way and has played a vital role until today...

Long Bai asked: "Hei Fa, can we just take out the creation fragments inside?"

Black Law: “Of course!”

Long Bai: "Okay..."

Long Bai: "Black magic, scan the throne of domination, and give me a method that will cause the least damage and take out the fragments of creation..."

...

Yuan Ling is in charge of the technological city on the Heifa side, assisted by Yuan Ling, Yuan Zong and other first-generation austenites.

Long Bai found Shang Yuan Ling and arranged for a temporary design and manufacture of a set of cutting equipment. After some operations, a hole was drilled at an angle from the back of the Ruling Throne, and a round azure metal bead with a diameter of only 3 cm was taken out.

The metal beads are full of vitality, and their surfaces are covered with black and white energy patterns.

Cut the azure metal sphere open again, and you'll find a one-centimeter-long black fragment in the center.

The thin, strong, and extremely high-quality creative divine power spread out, and the surrounding illusory world created by the black magic with the world power was rippling, as if it wanted to absorb this power and turn from virtual to real.

"Boss, it's done!"

"Boss, Hei Fa, excuse me for asking, what is this treasure?"

"The fragment is higher than level three? A fragment of an ancient divine artifact?"

Yuan Ling and Yuan Zhong were somewhat shocked and asked in disbelief.

"Fragments of Creation."

Long Bai thought about it, activated the ability of the tree flower heart world, and wrote the relevant information directly into the soul consciousness of the Austenites.

"Okay, Yuan Ling, you guys use the black magic method to repair the Ruling Throne for me. And then imitate a bigger 'Ruling Throne' for me. If you need any materials, contact the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce and ask them to help collect them."

After saying this, he didn't pay much attention to it. He bent his tentacles, picked up the fragments of creation, and held them in front of his eyes, sensing and observing them at close range.

The fragments autonomously absorbed the force of nature, and strands of creative power were continuously released to form 36 energy lines that diffused outward.

Long Bai looked at it silently for a while, then glanced at the Ruling Throne and urged: "Repair it as soon as possible."

After giving the instructions, he pondered in silence for a while. Then, an idea came to his mind and he stored the creation fragments into the Shanglu space. At the same time, he released the Taber and drove away.

...

...

Xianglan star field, Xianglan main star.

Longbai summoned all the insects, and after some instructions and explanations, he began to act.

Randomly select a mountain, the world's energy will gently unfold, and the mountain will collapse.

A space channel connecting Shanglu space continues to open,
The gravel flew and disappeared.

In the spherical space of Smilax glabra with a diameter of ten thousand meters, the soil covers the entire hemisphere, and the surface is covered with a layer of fertile soil.

Build reservoirs, canals, and swamps.

The fragments of creation turned into a blazing sun, rising in the morning and setting in the evening, continuously releasing the power of creation.

Simply build a living world dominated by water.

The cypress came to the island where the Azure took root again and settled down under the tree given by the Azure God.

Dual-tasking:

On the one hand, he activated the "Infinite Mountains and Seas, Infinite Real World" to overlap with the islands and freshwater oceans managed by Azure Blue. Now that he could no longer train ants to help Azure Blue, Longbai activated his abilities to help Azure Blue transform the island, correct the life structure, observe the development of life on the island, sense the flow of power, and comprehend the laws of the world.

On the one hand, he continued to release the world's elemental force and render the Shanglu space. On the other hand, he changed and transformed the properties of the Shanglu space bit by bit according to the method given by Hei Fa.

Time is like water, and three thousand years have passed.

The Shanglu space was rendered, and the Shanglu divine pattern attached to the forehead shell turned into a snow-white spot with a diameter of about three centimeters.

The fragments of creation have been releasing the power of creation. Under the catalysis of this strange power, the life of animals and plants in the space has been extended, and the speed of population evolution has been significantly accelerated.

Long Bai used the black magic method to integrate the creation fragments into the crystal wall of space.

The diameter of the space expanded rapidly to 30,000 meters. The entire space was completely renewed, as if it had life and its own independent rules.

Longbai has made the space semi-open.
Connected to the island, a round of air and water flow exchanges takes place every day.
Periodically, plants and animals in the space move outwards. Plants and animals on the island move into the space.

Linked interaction.

The wheel of time goes round and round, year after year,
Life iterates, generation after generation, in the natural alternation of birth, aging, sickness and death. Under the catalysis of the power of creation, life is constantly evolving and differentiating, little by little, forming a difference from the natural life of the gods outside the island.

One thousand years, another thousand years,

The most planted Azure Trees and Sea Blue Trees have changed again and again, and under the conscious manipulation of the Dragon Cypress and Azure, dozens of new tree species have evolved.

The overall ecology of the island was also changing quietly, gradually becoming an independent system that was significantly different from the natural system. Suddenly one day,
Without any warning, the blue spirit power was fully developed, and he calmly announced: "Long Bai, my 'mark' has successfully resonated with the laws of the world, and can evolve to the domination realm."

"..."

"!!!"

Under the tree, Long Bai stood up with a serious expression.

"Azure?"

"Success?"

"So fast!"

"Zhanlan, congratulations!"

"The azure blue is the strongest!"

"Do you need Primordial Crystal or Chaos Primordial Stone to replenish your Primordial Energy?"

"Hurry up!"

"Longbai, why don't you get ready!"

The Force plants rooted in the surroundings were stunned for a moment, then came to their senses and began to congratulate and urge them on.

"No preparation required."

"A third-level source star system with a Force concentration of 3.72 is enough for a breakthrough."

The blue emotion was as calm as water, and the water life energy field was unfolded. As the mental power slowly converged, the tree heart was retracted.

The fruits on the trees quickly wrinkle, shrivel and fall off.

Simple preparation, brewing for a while,
The whole tree's momentum suddenly increased, and at the same time, a terrifying suction force was transmitted, affecting an area with a radius of 3,000 kilometers. The natural force quickly gathered, highly condensed, and atomized.

The next moment, in an instant, all the gathered Force was swallowed up, forming a Force vacuum that covered the entire island.

The noise and momentum was so great that it affected half of the Xianglan main star.

In the sea of ​​persimmon trees, Shan Shi, who was busy harvesting persimmons, was the first to notice it. He looked up in confusion, sensed for a while, and thought for a few seconds with his head tilted back. Finally, he came to his senses: Long Bai had a breakthrough?

Yamashiki soared into the air, using his soul-fixing ability to sense and lock onto the locations of Blackberry and Machilus.

"Raspberry, Myosotis, did you sense it? Longbai has made a breakthrough!"

"I sensed it!"

"Abnormal Force fluctuations."

"The Dragon Cypress Ant King?"

"Longbai finally broke through!"

"Longbai has made a breakthrough!"

"Ants break through!"

"..."

The news began to spread at the speed of light.

Insects such as wild persimmon, raspberry, morning glory, white willow, and holly arrived first.

Heitao, Heihuai, Hongying and other assistants to the king rushed over in a hurry.

They all stopped again in the distance...

Looking at the cypress trees hovering over the edge of the island...

Looking at the azure God-given seed in the center of the island...

"..."

"Which bastard spread the fake news?"

The insects were speechless and surprised, and flew forward.

"Your Majesty?"

"Is it the Azure God-given seed that is evolving into the Overlord?"

"Um--"

Faced with such a stupid question, Longbai was surprisingly calm, with a hint of contemplation in his calmness. He gently waved his antennae to signal for silence.

"..."

The insects stopped asking questions and watched in silence.

After forty-three days, the azure god-given seed that had been madly devouring the Force finally stabilized and its consciousness fell asleep.

It is not completely calm. It continuously absorbs natural force at a uniform and high speed, forming a force vacuum area of ​​four to five hundred meters.

There is no sudden explosion in the middle of evolution.

Continuous, stable, calm.

The breakthrough of the realm to dominate, the leap of the life level of the second-level cosmic life form to the third-level cosmic life form, the sublimation of the soul to the 'divine soul', the transformation of the 'pattern' to the 'divine pattern', the qualitative change of ordinary primordial energy to the law of divine power.

It will take a long time, at least thirty years.

Longbai watched quietly for half a year and took the lead in landing on the island.

Other insects followed suit.

Spade looked around restlessly, observing the surroundings. The juniper and silver cypress were not there, so no insect dared to take the lead and ask questions.
Heitao had been holding it in for more than 40 days, and could no longer hold back, so he greeted him affectionately, "Big King~"

"What's wrong?" Long Bai was lost in thought, his mind absent-minded.

"My king, you are not far from the realm of domination, right?"

Spade asked politely.

Hong Ying hid behind Hei Huai and said carefully: "The latest intelligence is that while the Second King led the team to search for the source, he was meditating and strengthening his soul system. He successfully completed an age evolution. The Second King is now the 2nd age star domain master!"

"Oh--"

Long Bai's eyes flashed, he collected his thoughts, and said unhappily: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

Longbai waved his claws, "I'm almost there. I'm just a little bit short. After Azure breaks through, I'll go to the Tiger Orchid star system. It'll take a little time, and I'll be almost there."

Spade: "Great! Congratulations, King!"

Hong Ying: "Great! We also have a powerful master protecting us."

Hongcha: "That's great! I won't be afraid of being bullied by other bugs anymore."

Hong Xing: "From now on, when I walk in the starry sky, I will also walk sideways like Luo..."

grass:"……"

Hong Guang: "Great! Since you, my king, have been unable to break through, all of us assistant kings have lost our value."

Spade: "Yeah. Yeah..."

Longbai was annoyed and waved his tentacles, and thunder and lightning struck back at Spade's words, crackling and hitting him.

...

...

It took 41 years.
The fluctuations in the Force finally calmed down.

Azure awakens from his deep sleep.

Led by Longbai, all the insects came forward, vying to ask questions.

"Zhanlan, how is it?"

"Zhanlan, the power of laws?"

"Law energy field?"

"Show us quickly!"

"..."

Zhanlan was silent for two seconds without saying much. The pure and condensed divine power of the water-based life law spread out calmly and briskly along with the mental power.

Breaking through the Dominant will not change the characteristics of the ability much, but the qualitative change is the strength of the ability.

The azure energy field covers an area with a radius of 5000 kilometers, covering the entire island and freshwater ocean, overlapping with an independent ecological environment.

With a thought from the azure blue, a transparent, hemispherical energy shield was formed, isolating the natural world outside the freshwater sea and forming an independent ecological world.

This ability can prosper a piece of land, protect the lives of people, and continue to progress, which means prospering a civilization and protecting a civilization.

Azure: "Longbai, good news. My energy field can change the water within the coverage area, giving it energy properties and transforming it into energy materials similar to the Crystal of Void Purification. There is a difference. The Crystal of Void Purification is a pure purification force, while the pure water energy materials produced by my energy field are more inclined to water life and nourish all things. There should be many uses, such as irrigation to help other plants grow better and produce more fruits. Help Zerg warriors recover from injuries, remove toxins, eliminate alien forces, etc."

"Isn't that similar to the 'Fountain of Life'?"

"This ability is what Spade is best at!"

"Can it also encourage Force plants to produce more fruits?"

“Then it’s valuable!”

"That means, in the future, we can sell 'water' to make money?"

“It doesn’t feel advanced enough~”

"How about the Crystal of Void?"

"..."

The insects looked at each other and had a heated discussion.

Long Bai: "..."

It sounds ordinary. It's just the ability that Zhanlan has, transferred to the water. It's definitely useful and valuable, but it's impossible to make money from it. The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce doesn't make money from the Force Plants now.

Long Bai asked: "Zhanlan, what about the fruits you produced? Is it at the master level or super level?"

--Yes!

——With everyone’s wealth and status nowadays, physical objects of God-granted Force are not rare, but physical objects of God-granted Force in the realm of domination are still very rare.

——A star domain master realm that produces force food at the starry sky master realm? That’s even rarer!

All the insects cast hopeful glances.

"there is none left……"

Zhanlan said regretfully, "I can only produce the God-given fruit that is consistent with my evolutionary level. In the next period of time, the size of my tree will increase significantly, and accordingly, the output will increase by about two times."

"..."

"That's not bad!"

“The increase in production is also good!”

"Let's pay back what we owe to the Baijing Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible."

"The King will soon evolve into a Dominant. By then, the King will have to rely on the Dominant God-granted Force Food produced by Azure to exchange with other Chambers of Commerce..."

"It all depends on the blue."

"Zhanlan, I formally congratulate you on your successful breakthrough to the Domination Realm!"

"Zhanlan, I sincerely congratulate you as well. You will become the second master of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce!"

"Only slightly worse than the Second King, and slightly stronger than the First King..."

"According to the rules, the master of the evolution of Force plants can be officially named the 'Divine Tree'."

"The Azure Sacred Tree!"

"Congratulations to the Azure Divine Tree!"

"..."

After a brief silence, the insects began to speak one after another, praising enthusiastically and congratulating happily.

Summon all the Zerg warriors on the main star of Xianglan, as well as the Peidi'nan civilization led by the star god Ao who lives on the alien mining star, to gather on the island to hold a grand celebration banquet.

The banquet is over,

Longbai emptied the Shanglu space, carrying only some plant seeds and biological genes, and set off to the Hulan star system which was under construction. (End of this chapter)
