Astral Ants

Dark deep space.

The fish vine raised its front legs high and its claws horizontally, gathering its primordial energy, and a purple-black teleportation portal slowly opened.

Two huge black spiders with a legspan of more than ten meters walked out of the door.

The demon spider clone that was carefully cultivated by Yu Teng and is the master of the universe.

The insects used their mental power and soul-fixing abilities to scan the area, and found that it was exactly the same as the fish vine itself in every aspect. Apart from being at a lower evolutionary level, no other differences could be seen.

The eyes of the two spiders were dim and calm, as if they had lost their souls. After being teleported out, they drifted for a distance and then remained motionless, like sculptures.

The portal continues to expand.

Giant black spiders at the planetary level swarmed out.

After Yu Teng returned, the first batch of clones he cultivated, a total of 1, were lined up neatly and arranged behind the two clones at the level of Lord of the Universe.

The elliptical portal expanded to a width of ten thousand meters, and countless half-star-level demon spider clones gushed out...

"okay!"

"stop!"

"Yu Teng, are you stupid? There is no need to summon all ten million clones."

The insects called a halt immediately and fell into deep thought.

Infinite true body, summon clones,
This is the reason why Yu Teng broke through and evolved into a True God...

The purple-black teleportation portal closed.

Yu Teng took two seconds to prepare, then activated his ability again. The summoned clones of the magic bead swarmed into the portal and teleported away.

"Derris!"

Molan shouted, colorful light bloomed on her forehead, and the glorious throne flowed out like a river of light. The black tower quickly enlarged and turned into a three-story tower thirty meters high.

"Leave your two most powerful clones behind to test the power of my Glorious Throne's 'Eternal Black Tower'!"

"OK--"

Derris agreed.

Soon, the clone retreated like the tide, sank into the teleportation portal and disappeared.

"Subspace travel, run far away."

Molan prompted.

"Roger that!"

Yu Teng agreed, contacted through soul bonds, issued orders, and the two clones sank into the subspace and disappeared.

Molan waited for about ten seconds and controlled it with her mind. Vast spatial energy burst out from the black tower at a speed ten thousand times that of light, covering the extreme sensing range of the soul-fixing ability in just an instant.

"!!!"

Derris kicked with eight legs.

From Giant Cypress and White Smilax, I learned about the existence of the "Eternal Sleeping Black Tower" and the capabilities of the "Zero Energy Spacetime". During the practical test, I still couldn't help but be shocked.

Not only Derris, but all spiders that had awakened their spatial talents felt extremely uncomfortable at that moment. Normally, when an artist casts "zero energy spacetime", it should be a continuous field that suppresses all spatial abilities and spatial force life forms within the field.

"Yu Teng, where's your clone? How's it going?"

Mo Lan asked.

Yu Teng said: "One tenth of the divine power was lost instantly."

Mo Lan was very dissatisfied and asked, "Only one tenth? That doesn't have much of an impact! Is it because of the Demon Spider's strong physique?"

"No."

Yu Teng said: "This is already very scary. The Lord of the Universe lost one-tenth of his power. If it were the Lord of the Starry Sky, it would be one-third of his power. If it were the Lord of the Star Region, the loss would be nine-tenths. Ninety percent of his power disappeared in an instant, and he almost lost his combat effectiveness. The zero-energy space ability really killed the subspace ability."

Yu Teng paused and added: "Under the Domination Realm, the Su Realm warriors instantly empty all their energy."

Molan tilted her head in thought.

The White Tower civilization has a set of mature and strict standards for selecting warriors.

One out of a hundred ordinary warriors becomes a star warrior.

One in a million starlight warriors is selected to become a star warrior.

On average, there is only one Star Warrior for every 100 million ordinary warriors, and he is already the most outstanding one.

After a Star Warrior is reincarnated as a Void God, the chance of evolving into the Domination Realm is quite high, about one in ten.

In total, there are 11 million Void Gods in the White Tower Civilization, and tens of millions of them are at the peak of the Su Realm...

Of the millions of Void Protoss warriors, nearly half are stuck at the Star Domain Domination realm...

By this calculation, the main fighting force of the White Tower Civilization was indeed killed by the Zero Energy Spacetime. The remaining core fighting force that could not be killed was not many.

"not bad……"

Molan moved her tentacles with satisfaction and said, "I will charge the black tower. Yu Teng, run away, then sail at sub-light speed and try to sneak attack me."

"Oh--"

Yu Teng agreed and was not in a hurry to leave. He watched Molan inject Chaos Stone into the Black Tower. After observing for a long time, he saw that the energy storage was almost complete before sinking into the subspace and disappearing.

Molan concentrated all her attention on sensing and waited for a while. Suddenly, space energy burst out from the top of the black tower and spread at ten thousand times the speed of light.

In the distance, a billion kilometers away, Yu Teng's figure emerged and returned after a few teleportations.

"Derris, how about it?"

"..."

Yu Teng cautiously reminded: "Second King, I am in the semi-god realm."

Molan asked, "Is it completely useless?"

Derris: “I can’t say it’s completely useless, but it’s almost there.”

Xing Shen Ao and Hei Fa had already calculated this result, so the insects were not surprised or frustrated.

Mo Lan looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai said solemnly: "Very good! In a head-on confrontation, we have the absolute strength to kill the observer."

Longbai: "Yu Teng, you are the main force against the White Tower Civilization. 1000 million clones are enough, but the overall evolution level is too low. You should arrange for them to evolve in dormancy and meditation first. Peanut and Wuhua are back now. You should practice combat skills with them more often."

"Oh……"

Main force? Yu Teng suddenly felt the pressure and whispered: "My lord, I am a philosopher, I am not born to fight..."

Longbai said unhappily, "You are just a second-rate, half-baked philosopher. The Observer is a serious scientist. Be more confident. The Observer is not as good as you."

Yuto: "..."

Longbai: "From now on, all the Chaos Ore produced here will no longer be transported back to the rear, but will be transported to the Jiangtao star system as a reserve for Yuteng's use. Jubai, you should talk to the Citibank Chamber of Commerce, the Baijing Chamber of Commerce, and the Amber Chamber of Commerce, and have all the Chaos Ore produced in all the star systems they control transported here. We will count it as a temporary loan for our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, and the amount borrowed will be settled regularly from the Xianglan main star in the Amber star system."

"understand!"

Jubai agreed.

Long Bai: "Everyone should improve their strength first, and then summon the Temple of the Ancient God after 500 years. We will see the situation and make the final decision on when to start the war."

"it is good!"

"understand!"

The insects agreed.

They returned to the Heifa and entered the Jiangtao star system together. They stayed there for two years to recuperate and then set sail.

...

Return to the Wangbai Galaxy and Baibo Star System of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce.

Insects such as giant cypress, red maple, red sedge, and white willow are organizing training for the new soldiers who have joined the expeditionary corps.

Long Bai and Mo Lan learned the details of the situation.

After finishing the work, we chatted and asked some trivial matters.
Longbai suddenly remembered and asked, "Hongfeng, is there any news about the Black-Faced God and the White-Faced God?"

Red Maple shook its antennae and said, "Back then, when they said goodbye, they said they would fly starships and travel the universe. They would not come back until they became true gods. After that, we haven't heard any news from them since."

Molan was secretly delighted and said, "That means I haven't been able to break through yet!"

Red Maple: “…Yes.”

Longbai asked again: "Where is the Master of Jianjian?"

Red Maple said: "Dawn Galaxy, Puntohai Prison."

"???"

Longbai, Molan and the other insects all tilted their heads in unison, casting questioning thoughts.

"I know the inside story of this matter."

Hong Feng said, "Back then, after the Overlord of Jianjian left, he has been dormant in the Amber Galaxy, trying to comprehend some ability. The Ten-Colored Mantis King has a connection with it and has tried to invite it to join the Seven-Colored Chamber of Commerce many times, but was rejected every time."

"The Lord of Jianjian told the Ten-Colored Mantis that insects must fight for their lives and stand up from where they fell. The Lord of Jianjian was captured on the Dawn Chamber of Commerce's treasury planet, so he must try again and empty the Lord of Time and Space's wealth."

"The Ten-Colored Mantis King proposed to cooperate and plan together, but was rejected. Then he proposed to help it move, but was rejected again."

"The Lord of Jianjian has always looked down on the Ten-Colored Mantis King. The Ten-Colored Mantis King was so angry that he secretly informed the Dawn Chamber of Commerce. Then, when the Lord of Jianjian went there again, he was ambushed by the spiders of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, captured, and naturally sealed by the True God himself, and thrown into the Puntohai Prison."

"..."

Long Bai was speechless.

Mo Lan was shocked and furious. "Isn't the old Ten-Colored Mantis too despicable and mean? If the Master of Jianjian is released again, won't he destroy his entire clan?"

Molan asked, "Where is the ten-colored old mantis?"

Red Maple: "Once they start a business...they don't do their job properly."

Hong Feng said, "At first, it opened a black market in the Aquarius star field, the only way to the Amber Galaxy, and engaged in reselling and selling stolen goods between the human race and the Zerg. It claimed that its territory was protected by the great leader Manchi, the great commander Longbai, and the Lord of Samsara. It did not know how to restrain itself, and under our banner, it became bigger and bigger, opening branches everywhere, which attracted the attention of the True God of Nature. The True God of Nature personally issued an order for the Lord of Manchi to deal with it."

"For the sake of you, the Second King, Lord Manchi only destroyed its black market and released the insects..."

"The True God of Nature personally ordered to capture it, but it was not captured. This just proves what the Ten-Colored Mantis King has said to the outside world: it has the protection of the most powerful leaders of the Divine Tree Civilization, and no one can control it."

"The Ten-Colored Mantis King has become even more arrogant, and he has brought along the warriors of the Seven-Colored Chamber of Commerce to continue running the black market in the outer reaches of the galaxy, in the deep space where the True Gods have no control. I heard that he has established dozens of branch cities and recruited a large number of warriors to work for him."

"Oh--"

Molan's eyes sparkled.

Longbai: “…” I’m really impressed by guys like Shise and Jianjian!
Long Bai asked, "Where is the Seven-Colored Divine Tree? It's not going to join the black market, is it? Is the Seven-Colored Divine Tree in charge again?"

"No... the Seven-Colored Divine Tree has become smarter..."

Hong Feng said, "The Seven-Colored Divine Tree is still rooted in our Xianglan main planet. It has trained a new batch of seven-colored flower mantis warriors. Arrange these warriors to learn interstellar trade from the Flame Spiders of the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce. Learn scientific knowledge from the scientists and engineers of the Peidiernan civilization. Learn combat, history, culture, politics, economics and other fields from the insects of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce. Also arrange for them to travel the universe to enrich their experience and make friends."

"The number of newly trained flower mantis warriors by the Seven-Colored Divine Tree is small, but each of them is knowledgeable, evil, and cunning. The Seven-Colored Divine Tree arranged these warriors to serve as advisors to the Ten-Colored Mantis King, and it planned behind the scenes through these new generation of young warriors. Therefore, their black business has lasted for more than 20 million years without being caught."

"Wow!"

Molan was pleasantly surprised and exclaimed: "The Seven-Colored Divine Tree has finally learned its lesson!"

"..."

Long Bai was completely convinced and gave a serious warning: "Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is an orthodox large chamber of commerce that dominates the development of the Divine Tree civilization to a certain extent. You are not allowed to have any dealings with the Seven-Color Chamber of Commerce in the future. What kind of things have they done? I will go to the Seven-Color Divine Tree and tell them not to train Seven-Color Flower Mantis Warriors. Or, if you train them, they are not allowed to join the Seven-Color Chamber of Commerce."

Red Maple: “Okay…”

Mo Lan: "Understood!"

...

...

The Heifetz set out again, sailing back to the Amber Galaxy.

Long Bai visited the Lord Manchi, the Baijing Divine Tree, and the True God of Nature in turn.

Now, the core combat forces of other large chambers of commerce in the Shenshu civilization have been taken away by the Lord of Time and Space, and they will definitely not come back within 30 million years. Long Bai is anxious to deal with the White Tower civilization, and can only hope that the Gubu Lord Temple can sell new, god-level starships for combat.

It is difficult to make a decision before there are definite results. I will make a routine visit and finally return to the Amber Galaxy.

Longbai stayed on Xianglan Main Star to rest and research "blood rebirth", which he soon cracked. He organized the expedition warriors of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the reincarnation of the new generation of Zerg warriors and Force plants who were stuck at the peak of the realm.

The old generation of warriors are reborn through reincarnation, and they can also awaken the new racial ability of "blood rebirth" when they reach the third level. In the interstellar battlefield, the survivability is qualitatively improved.

Mo Lan, Yu Chong, Zi, Lu Xin, Cai Gang, Juniper, Silver Cypress, and Xingyunyou were restless, so they formed a team to wander around and no longer have any news from them.

...

...

[Time 165th Century - 000 Years]

The group of Molan insects that had disappeared for more than four million years came back on time.

Lord Manchi and Lord Huangjing also led their fleets and arrived as promised.

All the insects set out in groups and headed for the Tenggou star system.

...

The time to summon the Temple of the Ancient God had been agreed upon long ago and had been anticipated for 3300 million years.

Various forces and swarms of insects gathered together.

Lord Manchi and Heiti worked together to activate the 'Heart of Eternity' summoning function.

The Temple of the Lord of the Ancients is irregular and non-stop, wandering through the warp.

This time the distance to the summoning point was slightly closer, and it only took about 100,000 years to arrive.

The four-dimensional space-time shield unfolds, automatically opening a giant portal with a length of more than 1 million kilometers.

Led by Longbai and Manchi, all the insects entered.

After Yu Teng evolved into the semi-god realm, he obviously became much smarter. It only took him a short while to crack the key and turn it to the correct position.

The temple is open.

An unprecedentedly huge green screen rose up.

The insects glanced at him expectantly, and the next moment they started cheering.

as predicted,

Next to the four regular types of goods, a vertical row of new goods appeared.

The first one is [Killer Whale 1001 type mothership 10 Jingfangjing/ship]

There is also a red character prompt below: [Only 10 ships left]

Next row:
[Peregrine 1001 Star Destroyer 1 trillion cubic crystals/ship]

Red character prompt: [Only 70 ships left]

[Peregrine 1002 Star Destroyer 3 trillion cubic crystals/ship]

[Peregrine 1003 Star Destroyer 10 trillion cubic crystals/ship]

Next row:
[Lieying 1001 type reconnaissance ship 5 trillion cubic crystals/ship]

Inside the Temple of the Ancient Lord, it is indeed possible to monitor movements outside the four-dimensional space and time.

Have they optimized and improved the starships designed and built independently by the Shenshu civilization?

The insects were instinctively alert and suspicious, but they couldn't help but feel happy...

There is a white light shining in the green box ahead.

Two super-giant energy ships were teleported out.

3300 million years ago, after Molan presided over the transaction, he ordered the two ships to be delivered?
Molan has quick eyes and claws. She raises her claws and grabs the object in front of her for inspection.

Scanning with mental power, I vaguely felt something was different...

——It’s not the stock from the old universe era! It’s newly made!

——It is certain that the Temple of Lord Gubu has the ability to cultivate god-level materials and manufacture god-level starships.

——The key is that they are willing to sell them!
The insects cheered again.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Heiti's tentacles danced with excitement, "Is there any way to make them build me a true god-level intelligent mechanical mothership..."

"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!"

Lord Manchi was also very excited, waving his tentacles vigorously, signaling, "Commander Longbai, let's try to trade!"

"Okay. Xianglan Chamber of Commerce will come first!"

Long Bai had already set his sights on the Orca 1001 Mothership. With his mind turning, the space channel connecting the universe opened, and 1 million cubic crystals were piled into a square. Square by square, the cubic crystals were transferred into the green box.

The green light continued to flash, and the transmission disappeared.

The account balance number below jumped rapidly for a while and finally reached the 10 Beijing limit.

Longbai decisively locked onto the [Killer Whale 1001-type mothership] and chose to purchase it.

A blinding white light burst out,

A 110-kilometer-long, black-and-white, slightly bloated killer whale-shaped starship emerged.

The shape is exactly the same as those produced by the Shenshu civilization.

performance……

Molan exerted force and moved the mothership out of the green box.

The insects flashed familiarly to the position above their heads, communicated with each other through consciousness, activated the teleportation portal, and went straight into the mothership's cockpit.

Manchi and Heiti went forward to check.

"It is blank, has no intelligent system, and can be imported into the 'Killer Whale System' we designed ourselves."

"Parameters are available. Maximum speed is 3800 times the speed of light. Maximum endurance is 3000 million light years..."

“Isn’t this battery life very good?”

"For a god-class mothership, it's indeed too short."

"Is it enough?"

"It should be enough to store energy with the energy ship, right?"

"Almost. It's basically enough."

“Speed ​​is the most important!”

"The mothership's maximum speed is 3800 times the speed of light, so the other starships must not be able to travel at a speed lower than this."

"The key is the scout ship and the Star Destroyer!"

"Quick! Take another look!"

"..."

The insects were teleported out of the cabin one after another.

Long Bai continued the transaction, and put all the 1 Gai of square crystals brought by the universe world into the box in one breath, and bought 100 different models of Peregrine Star Destroyers and Shadow Reconnaissance Ships in one breath.

The swarm of insects entered the cabin to check.

Unfortunately, the maximum speed is still only 3800 times the speed of light.

Obviously, a single Rubik's Cube Key, which opens one side of the Temple of the Ancient Lord, can only trade for a starship that barely reaches the "God-level".

But it’s powerful enough.
The Shadow reconnaissance ship has a maximum range of 5000 million light years, and its reconnaissance method, distance, and accuracy have all been qualitatively improved, making it a significant step up from the old version of the reconnaissance ship designed and manufactured by Black Magic.

The Peregrine Star Destroyer's Ice Silence, Ice Cracking, and amplification effects greatly increase its offensive and defensive power.

It is completely sufficient to deal with the White Tower civilization.

There is another problem, that is, the number of starships produced in this batch in the space of the Temple of Lord Gubu is limited.

10 Orca motherships and a corresponding number of Peregrine Star Destroyers make up exactly 10 army groups.

The number of Shadow reconnaissance ships is only 10.

Longbai bought them all in one go and tried to continue purchasing, but it showed "pending delivery" and would not be delivered until 3300 million years later.

Not a lot.

3300 million years is too long to wait.

"..."

Long Bai decisively issued an order, saying: "Heiti, you will organize and continue to trade and purchase the cubic crystal compressors and energy transmission ships needed to operate the galaxy."

"Other insects... Lord Manchi, Lord Huangjing, let's go to the space of the clone of the True God of Nature to discuss matters. We can organize a fleet expedition." (End of this chapter)
