Chapter 265: There Can Only Be One Swarm of Insects and One Mother Tree!
It was almost ten o’clock in the evening.
Ling Pingan stretched his shoulders, stood up, and made himself a cup of tea.
Then, he shared half of it with his pet.
The man and his kitten were drinking tea behind the counter.
The night wind blew in, and it was a little cold.
In the streets outside the door, the tall and st.u.r.dy sycamore trees began to shed their leaves.
Autumn arrived silently.
Ling Pingan drank his tea and said, “I have to buy autumn clothes tomorrow…”
He wouldn’t wear the old clothes from last year.
In fact, he wouldn’t wear the clothes from the seasons a year before.
After all, they were all unbelievably cheap industrial products.
It was only 30 to 50 yuan per piece.
Compared to keeping them, and find someone to wash them. Changing into new clothes was much more economical.
Meow!
The kitten purred softly, agreeing with its master’s decision.
Ling Pingan looked at the computer and continued to mutter to himself, “I still have to prepare to upload the new book tomorrow…”
“I’ll apply for an alias first…”
He opened the website, clicked into the author registration background, and began to manipulate it.
First was the pen name.
Hmm…
He thought about it, what pen name should he choose?
His eyes rolled, and he had an idea.
In the author’s pen name input field, he entered his pen name: Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong!
The pen name was quickly approved.
Then he filled in a bunch of registration entries.
In a few minutes, he had completed the alias.
Looking at the new alias backstage, it was clean.
He smiled. No one would dislike such a background.
Because it was a blank piece of paper, even if it failed, it would not be shameful.
Then, he began to register the t.i.tle of the book.
He clicked open to create new work, selected the type, and entered the t.i.tle: I am the Creator of the Insect Swarm.
Good, it was not used before.
So, he continued to fill out the introduction.
It was quite simple. One sentence was enough: The Insect Swarm is just a toy I created, but they have caused a world-ending disaster in countless worlds!
The introduction had suddenly appeared in his mind when he was filling it in.
Looking at this sentence, Ling Pingan revealed a smile.
“Right!”
“This is the introduction I wanted!”
“It’s straightforward and domineering enough!”
That also gave him a new idea of the story that followed.
That was the world-ending, destroying one world after another.
Those imaginary worlds!
Of course, he had to mold these worlds into evil and incurable worlds.
After doing this, he turned off his computer.
He walked to the door and looked outside. The night was unbelievably beautiful.
There were no pedestrians. The entire street, even the two ends of the street, were empty.
Only the streetlights were illuminating the street.
He sighed. “As expected, I’m going to lose money on utility bills again today!”
However, he was used to it.
After pulling down the shutter door, Ling Pingan said good night to the kitten, Bastet.
Then, he turned off the lights, turned on his phone, and walked upstairs.
Tap, tap, tap…
The sound of footsteps could be heard on the stairs.
Creak, creak. The old stairs began to shake.
Bastet, who was on the blanket, raised her head. In her amber cat eyes, she saw countless evil eyes, densely packed together, lighting up the entire bookstore.
That night, they became even more excited than before.
Bastet watched all of this and slowly closed her eyes indifferently.
The Cat G.o.ddess, who had learned her lesson, already knew the importance of not meddling in other people’s business.
… … ..
In the Blessed Land.
The huge body of the queen lay on the gra.s.sland.
The densely packed worker termites swept through the entire Blessed Land.
They were no longer the same as in the past, only targeting their fellow insects.
The Hungry Queen was already desperate for food.
Her thirst for genes and strong desire for evolution appeared in the will of everyone through the network formed by the info element.
As a result, these worker ants brought back more and more things.
They searched for every living thing they could find in this barren land.
They didn’t even let go of the fine ruler and microbes in the soil.
A large number of Tardigrades were captured.
These simple creatures made the queen feel like she had found a treasure!
Their vitality and adaptability made the queen extremely excited.
So, after devouring a large number of Tardigrade.
The queen’s abdomen began to expand.
It began to eat many dimension stones.
These dimension stones were swallowed by it, becoming brand-new queen nutrition.
But, what the new queen needed, seemed to be far beyond the past.
So, the Queen’s tentacles shook.
Info element spread throughout the blessed land.
All the workers who were exploring outside retreated to the Queen’s Nest.
Tens of thousands of giant and strange workers, lined up in dense rows, returned to the nest.
They killed themselves one by one on the flesh and moss made of rotten material.
Their flesh and blood were dissolved, and all the genes carried in their bodies were absorbed by the moss.
As for the Queen Mother’s body, it grew bigger and bigger.
Finally…
A ferocious giant worm directly tore through its mother’s abdomen.
It crawled out.
“Roar!”
That terrifying sharp mouthpart roared at its mother.
The extremely weak queen mother lowered her head.
She looked at her child with incomparable satisfaction.
The child that she had used everything to give birth to.
It closed its eyes!
Its mission had been completed, and a new queen had been born!
It was better, stronger, and crueler!
Just by feeling the info element coming from its body, the Queen Mother knew.
The future of the swarm would welcome a brand-new possibility in its daughter!
Thus, it stepped into death with great gratification.
At the final moment of death.
The queen mother used everything in her life to gather a single info element.
“There can only be one bug swarm in the world!”
The newborn bug felt this info element.
It understood.
That was the wish of generations of Queen Mothers!
There could only be one bug swarm in the world!
The other bug swarms were all fake!
No matter where they were?
No matter where they were, they had to be exterminated and destroyed!
Because…
There could only be one bug swarm!
And that was the great master, who personally nurtured and guided them.
The great earth-loving bug swarm!
Roar!
The larva roared and slowly crawled towards its mother.
Then, it opened its sharp mouth and began to devour everything.
Flesh, blood, moss, tissue…
Everything, everything, would not be wasted!
That was also the work of every generation of bug swarm.
For evolution, for strength, for that great mission!
There could only be one bug!
No matter where the other bugs were!
They would all be destroyed!
And they would be destroyed!
Because…
Their master’s love could only be enjoyed by them.
That will was so firm that psionic energy began to appear from this young queen’s body.
Although it was extremely weak,…
That made it different from its ancestors.
From now on, the Queen could use psionic energy to think.
Psionic energy also began to merge with the Queen Mother’s info element, becoming the carrier of the network that dominated the entire race!
Slowly, as the young queen devoured.
Its body began to spin a coc.o.o.n.
A thick mycelium-like thing covered its body.
Slowly, it was completely covered by the mycelium.
The new queen’s mother began to develop abnormally.
Psionic energy began to appear from its outer appearance.
Finally, at a certain moment, all the mycelium exploded.
The new queen mother appeared in the Blessed Earth.
It became even larger, its enormous body almost the size of a calf!
It withdrew all unnecessary organs!
Its eyes, mouth, reproductive pores…
It had completely become breeding and fighting machine.
Info element wrapped around psionic energy and began to spread out.
Its body surface began to secrete a large amount of viscous liquid.
The liquid flowed out from the surface of its body and into the surroundings. It slowly corroded the surface of the ground and then mixed with the soil.
Psionic energy began to function, allowing the soil and the liquid to fully mix, forming a layer of moss-like objects with an area of at least tens of square meters.
Within it, one follicle after another bulged.
Those were genetic cells developing.
Coo, coo, coo…
Coo, coo, coo…
These follicles bulged larger and larger.
Finally…
The follicles exploded, and strange worker ants the size of fists covered in Armor appeared one after another.
Their tentacles began to sway.
Info elements began to spread and connected to the info element network spread by their mother.
Thus, these new worker ants received a brand-new order: Everything that could be eaten had to be found in this world.
The Queen Mother needed them!
For a great cause!
Worker ants poured out like a tide.
They rushed to every corner of the Blessed Earth.
Including the mountains that all the queen mothers had never dared to step on before!
Countless insects, microbes, plants, and even bacteria became their targets.
The will of the Queen Mother was sacred.
The entire earth-blessed realm instantly became a huge construction site.
An endless stream of worker bees hatched and began to flood the entire earth-blessed realm.
They used all means to dig every inch of soil.
Gra.s.sroots, insects, tender leaves…
Everything was their target!
b.a.l.l.s of light appeared in the sky above the Blessed Land.
s.p.a.ce and time twisted around these b.a.l.l.s of light.
They shook their bodies and looked down at the entire Blessed Land.
Everything here was good!
The next time their master came in, he would be happy!
So…
The b.a.l.l.s of light gathered and turned into a huge stone foundation. An eye appeared on the stone foundation.
It illuminated all the universes, looking for a place that could become the Queen Mother’s new place of evolution.
Finally, it found it.
Thus, a door appeared in the depths of the creation factory.
… … … ..
It was already late at night.
Ling Pingan was sleeping soundly on the bed.
In his daze, he seemed to hear the voice of an extremely cute girl.
“Big Brother Master… Big Brother Master…” the tender green leaves gently scratched his nose, itchy.
Ling Pingan opened his eyes and saw that the little peach tree he planted had turned into an extremely cute little girl.
She danced around him innocently.
“Big Brother Master… Big Brother Master…” she begged, her voice softening steel.
Ling Pingan scratched his head. He didn’t understand why he had such a dream?
“Have I watched too much?” He thought.
That was the only explanation. The peach tree he planted had turned into a very cute little girl in the dream.
She even acted coquettishly and begged.
Other than watching too much of the cartoon Calabash Brothers, there was no other explanation!
“What do you want? Lollipops or toys?” Ling Pingan asked with a smile.
“Big Brother Master…” the little girl shook Ling Pingan’s arm and said innocently, “I want to be the only mother tree in the world…”
“Okay…”
“Okay! Okay!” Ling Pingan smiled. Shouldn’t he treat children like this?
In any case, it was just a dream.
In any case, promising the child was just to coax her.
Would that adult take the promise to the child to heart?
If that was the case, what should she do if she wanted the moon?
“Big Brother Master is the best!” The little girl threw herself into her arms and laughed like a silver bell.
… … … ..
On the balcony upstairs.
The small sapling giggled.
The silver bell-like laughter echoed throughout the balcony.
Starlight shone on its tender body.
In a trance, its shadow slowly disappeared.
… … ..
The night wind blew the trees of Quel’Tanas Island.
In the ruins of the Sunwell Highlands, Sylvanas’ figure stood tall.
Hundreds of highborne elves surrounded her.
These were the survivors she had found in the past few days.
These poor people told Sylvanas about the atrocities of the catastrophe in fear.
They also let Sylvanas know the end of the Quel’dorei.
The old king died in battle.
All the members of the Silvermoon Council died in battle to protect the Sunwell.
The DragonHawk Riders and Rangers, led by her adjutant, Lor’themar, retreated toward the Alliance for help and protection.
However, a large number of civilians and soldiers were unable to retreat in time and were surrounded by the catastrophe.
These people relied on hiding in the mountains and underground cellars to survive.
It was not until Sylvanas returned and used the body of a sun elf to eliminate the remaining catastrophes in Quel’Thalas.
Only then did they dare to come out.
Looking at these people and her compatriots, Sylvanas was heartbroken.
She could feel that her compatriots were suffering from demonic addiction.
The Sunwell had been contaminated.
However, the Highborne Elves who did not have magic strength were suffering from a serious demonic addiction.
If they were not guided, the disaster they had seen would immediately happen!
What should they do?
Sylvanas looked at them.
She had already imparted part of the cultivation techniques of the Sun Elves.
However, it would take at least a few years of cultivation before she had the initial ability to transform the energy of the sun into her energy.
Before that, demonic addiction was like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of every highborne elf!
She had to obtain a new source of energy!
For her compatriots!
Sylvanas turned around and looked at the divine well that had been contaminated by the strength of the catastrophe.
The water of the Sunwell had been completely contaminated.
The strength of plague and death lingered in it.
If the Quel’dorei used it again…
Something would happen.
The catastrophe would corrupt them, and the plague would spread among them until everyone became a member of the catastrophe!
But…
She had no way to stop her compatriots who had been tortured to madness by the demonic addiction.
There would always be people who would secretly suck the energy of the Sunwell while she was away. Even if they knew that they were going to die, they would continue to do so.
“Don’t tell me… I can only blow it up?” Sylvanas looked at the Holy Sunwell and hesitated.
Blow it up so that the tribesmen would not take the risk to feed.
But…
Blow up the Sunwell, and all the Quel’dorei would lose their energy source.
They were not themselves. Sooner or later, they would be tortured to death by the demonic addiction, or even twisted into something as crazy as a heartbreaker.
The Quel’dorei would not be able to hold on for long.
Suddenly, in the haze, Sylvanas heard a voice.
“Do you want to purify this well water?”
It was a young female voice.
She looked around but didn’t see anyone.
Under the light of the fire, there was nothing but the tired and weak figures of her clansmen.
She gulped and asked, “Who are you?”
“Me?”The voice laughed like a little girl. “I am the great master who personally planted the Holy Mother Tree!”
“I am the Tree of Life!”
“I am also the tree of taboos!”
“As long as my roots go deep into that well, all pollution will be purified!”
The voice seemed to lick its lips.
In this world, only one mother tree could be allowed.
That was her!
That was the order of the master, and also his mission!
The Great Tree of life would grow!
In the end, all the other mother trees would be destroyed!
Of course…
Now, she still knew that his strength was too weak.
So, set a small goal first!
That world…
He felt a few foolish saplings.
Let’s start with the mother tree that destroyed this world!
Those foolish saplings dared to call themselves the world tree!
How ridiculous!
So, he said to Sylvanas, “Are you willing to let me, the great and only Mother Tree, plant my roots in your well…”
She could feel the energy of that well.
Although it was far inferior to the master…
But…
It was better than nothing.
The most important thing was…
To take root in that world.
The journey of the Great and only Mother Tree had begun!
Sylvanas listened to the voice of this young girl.
She thought for a moment and finally nodded. “I agree!”
“But you must promise that you will never hurt me and my compatriots!”
“Giggle…”
“This is your honor!”
“And also, your choice was wise that you will be glad of forever in the future!”
And so, light began to appear and burst out of the Sunwell.
Sacred and tender roots appeared from the light.
They were slender and tender but full of strength.
These roots slowly sank into the Sunwell.
The well water immediately boiled, and the filthy pestilence and cold strength began to resist violently.
But…
That resistance was useless in front of these sacred roots.
In the blink of an eye, it was devoured clean by the ferocious sharp mouths that appeared on the roots.
The moonlight shone down from the sky.
The strength of the catastrophe that enveloped the sun well quickly dissipated.
A small sapling quietly appeared beside the sun well.
Emerald green leaves swayed.
All of the Quel’dorei felt the catastrophe’s contamination disperse.
They all stood up and looked at the sacred Sunwell.
The mother’s well had returned to normal!
Every highborne elf knelt.
They began to cry!
The Sunwell had returned!
At the same time, almost everyone on the entire planet who could sense this matter raised their heads.
That included Ner’zhul on the frozen throne.
“A new force?” Its soul began to question and then became ecstatic.
A new force was its favorite thing.
Because that meant that it could take the opportunity to break free from the Burning Legion’s shackles!
