Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 225 5th Era: Conquer the Ant Queen, Expand the Ant Colony Size!



Many Children, Many Blessings?

Having kids makes you stronger?

Seeing this talent, Lu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim at its heaven-defying nature.

He had just been worrying about the population shortage in Wuyou City, and suddenly he pulled a Divine-level Talent?

Hellish start?

I will marry endlessly and build a Divine Ant Immortal Dynasty!

Harvesting all beings like the Ancient Great Emperor?

In an ant's body, I shall end the chaotic dark era!

Whatever Supreme Divine Body, whatever Ancient Race bloodline, if they dare to cause trouble, I'll suppress them all!

Lu Yuan rolled up his sleeves and began a new round of simulation immediately.

...

Black Wind Forest.

In a dimly lit cave.

An enormous ant queen lay sprawling on the ground, like an emotionless birthing machine, continuously laying a massive number of eggs.

These eggs are only as small as sesame seeds, and through the semi-transparent membrane, you could vaguely see a tiny ant curled up inside.

As soon as the ant queen laid the eggs, worker ants would promptly carry them to another cave used for hatching.

The entire production process was orderly, as efficient as an assembly line.

Inside the hatching cave.

There were tens of thousands of white ant eggs.

At an unremarkable corner, a small ant broke out from an egg, struggling out of the mucus to stand.

"I've really become an ant?"

Lu Yuan lowered his head to examine his body and found that his arms and legs had disappeared.

In their place were six slender, dark legs.

From his perspective.

Even a random small stone appeared insurmountable, as huge as a mountain!

This gave Lu Yuan an unprecedented feeling of weakness.

In the Main World.

He was a Tier Five Sun Tyrant, powerful enough to shake the heavens with a wave of his hand.

But now.

He had become just an ordinary ant, vulnerable to being killed or drowned by even a drop of bird poop falling from the sky!

Stronger!

Must become stronger as soon as possible!

The longing for power in Lu Yuan had never been more intense!

Meanwhile, some scattered information surfaced in his mind.

Lu Yuan learned through this information.

The Fire Ant Colony he belonged to had over ten thousand ants and had no presence in the vast Black Wind Forest.

Compared to other powerful Demon Beasts, Fire Ants had almost no combat power.

However, when hunting prey, Fire Ants can secrete a special toxin that causes pain akin to a burning flame.

Yet this toxin's power is limited and at most can only harm small insects.

Even if the entire Fire Ant Colony was mobilized, they might not be able to kill a single mouse.

After all, this was a Six-Star Xuanhuan World.

In lower-dimensional worlds, even a piece of broken copper and iron would be fought over to the death by countless people.

And mice in this world, after years of basking in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, might have power even greater than an Inner Strength Martial Artist from a One-Star Martial Arts World!

"I really am pitifully weak."

Lu Yuan sighed, having to accept this reality.

Soon after.

Several worker ants immediately brought food, feeding each newborn ant.

These foods included some meat scraps and some sort of unknown fruit flesh, which contained a hint of extremely faint Spiritual Energy.

For normal humans, these foods aren't even enough to fill the gaps in their teeth.

But in the eyes of these freshly born young ants like Lu Yuan, they were extremely rare and nourishing!

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan charged forward, gobbling up as much food as possible.

After all, the more he ate, the stronger he would grow!

From then on.

Lu Yuan was like an unfeeling eating machine, spending his days except for eating, consciously training his body.

In just a few days, he grew a whole size larger than the other young ants!

But good times didn't last long.

Half a month later.

"Boom!"

A violent tremor that was heart-palpitating suddenly shook the cave.

Dozens of burly soldier ants with shiny black shells appeared in the cave, hoisting a mountain of meat.

That writhing, hairy mountain of meat, resembling a train car, was indeed a most common caterpillar!

"Kill it!"

A gigantic soldier ant leader, as large as a pinky finger, with numerous soldier ants swarming around it, stepped forward to the newly hatched small ants and mercilessly commanded.

This is a world of survival of the fittest.

Even a newborn ant had to learn to fight and forage!

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan contemplated.

In an ordinary world, the ant queen could decide the role of each ant via pheromones.

But in this Xuanhuan world's ant colony, the situation was somewhat different.

Unlike those only knowing how to work with their heads down, born as cattle and horses for labor.

Soldier Ants are responsible for defending the colony and expanding their territory.

They have more robust bodies, stronger combat power, and no lack of Spiritual Intelligence.

The soldier ant leader's action was clearly an attempt to select a batch of good seedlings from the newborn young ants to replenish the fresh blood of soldier ants.

"This point is somewhat similar to humans."

Lu Yuan understood in his heart.

But faced with such a large and terrifyingly ferocious enemy.

All the young ants were shivering in fear, not daring to step forward for a long time.

Only Lu Yuan and another dozen robust young ants braced themselves, moving toward the heavily wounded caterpillar.

"Attack!"

Suppressing his nausea, Lu Yuan tried to use his mandibles to tear at the caterpillar's wounds.

At the same time, while biting the wound, he also injected some of his toxin into the other party's body.

The caterpillar cried out in pain, rolling back and forth like a long snake on the ground.

With quick reflexes, Lu Yuan immediately darted to the side.

But a few young ants couldn't dodge in time and got smashed into serious injuries by the caterpillar!

The caterpillar's surface hairs were like sharp, hard war spears, able to easily pierce the undeveloped bodies of the young ants.

And the caterpillar's colorful skin, like thick armor, was enough to resist most Fire Ant bites.

It was this caterpillar that had already been bitten to critical condition by dozens of adult soldier ants, left with only its final breath.

Otherwise, with just these larvae, there would have been no way to cause it any harm!

Next.

Lu Yuan, along with the other larvae, risked their lives in a heart-stopping fight to the death and finally succeeded in killing this caterpillar.

When Lu Yuan saw the mound of flesh collapse to the ground, his eyes couldn't help but drift in confusion.

Once upon a time.

He could kill a Tier Five Sun Tyrant as easily as eating and drinking.

But now, he couldn't even kill a caterpillar?

He even needed help from other larvae?

"You, you, and you, come with me."

The formidable, black and shiny exoskeletoned soldier ant leader, armored as if in gear, pointed at Lu Yuan and several other impressive larvae.

Under its guidance.

Lu Yuan and the other larvae arrived at a cave similar to a storage room.

"Eat, this is your reward."

The soldier ant leader generously stated.

But when Lu Yuan saw the food in the cave, he felt a chill over his scalp.

Because it was a group of fat, white maggots wriggling on the ground!

Just as Lu Yuan was standing there in a daze.

The other larvae couldn't wait any longer and pounced forward.

In their eyes, this was undoubtedly the finest protein!

"No matter, getting stronger is more important!"

With a determined heart, Lu Yuan immediately feasted.

Although these maggots looked disgusting, they indeed contained substantial spiritual energy.

After Lu Yuan had his fill.

His once somewhat thin body noticeably grew stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was at this moment.

The voice of the Will of the Heavens rang out.

[You killed the caterpillar and successfully changed your fate, transforming from an oblivious worker ant into a glorious fire ant warrior!]

[You have gained 5 million Simulation Points!]

[You have acquired a temporary D-level talent: Copper Skin and Iron Bones!]

[Your Simulation Evaluation has been upgraded to E-level!]

[Current main quest progress: 1%!]

[Copper Skin and Iron Bones]: Once this talent is activated, it can greatly enhance the user's physical attributes!

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan decided to use it.

The next second.

A white light, visible only to him, descended from the sky and instantly merged with him.

Then Lu Yuan's entire body crackled, making sounds similar to popping beans.

When the talent fully took effect.

Lu Yuan felt an unprecedented surge of power welling up from within his heart.

He even felt he could single-handedly kill a caterpillar!

According to Lu Yuan's estimation.

His current physique and body strength were about twenty times that of an ordinary soldier ant, already comparable to the soldier ant leader in power.

"The soldier ant leader, no matter how strong, is just a henchman."

"Only by becoming stronger can I make contact with the Ant Queen and leverage the many children, many blessings talent!"

Lu Yuan contemplated to himself.

In the following half month, he, alongside other soldier ants, took charge of vigilance and patrol tasks.

During this time, they also encountered attacks from other ant colonies or wild beasts.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan, relying on the wisdom and experience of several reincarnations, managed each time to evade all dangers narrowly.

And his body became increasingly robust, as thick as a thumb!

Standing among a group of soldier ants, he was like a crane among chickens, exceptionally outstanding.

Even the strongest male ants in the colony appeared somewhat inferior compared to him.

As a result, Lu Yuan's reputation spread, making him a renowned strongman far and wide.

Until one day.

A pinky-sized male ant wobbled out of the cave.

When it saw Lu Yuan, who was larger than itself, it froze in place for quite a while.

Then, it stumbled forward, as if it had found a savior, and introduced Lu Yuan to the Ant Queen.

"Brother, you are extraordinarily gifted; the Ant Queen will surely like you."

Sure enough.

When the Ant Queen saw Lu Yuan's strong and mighty physique, her eyes instantly lit up with excitement, twisting her plump tail back and forth, nearly drooling.

Lu Yuan looked at the Ant Queen, whose limbs had atrophied and was so fat she couldn't walk, and felt a shiver in his heart.

Although his taste wasn't light, wasn't it too much to even spare an ant?

Lu Yuan really wanted to turn and leave.

But thinking of the many children, many blessings talent, as he was about to step out of the cave, he stopped.

Forget it.

Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.

After all, it's the same with eyes closed.

Lu Yuan sighed, completely resigned.

The night passed without words.

Only an endless stream of white ant eggs was carried out of the cave by worker ants, like flowing water.

[You successfully have an offspring, and your physique has slightly improved!]

[With a thousand offspring, you are as strong as an ox and can initially introduce spiritual energy into your body!]

[With five thousand offspring, you have initially stepped onto the first realm of cultivation—Blood Refining!]

[With ten thousand offspring, your bloodline has mutated, successfully transforming into a Fire Spirit Ant!]

...

With the prompts of the Will of the Heavens.

Lu Yuan's power surged, and with a shudder, it was as if he opened the door to a new world.

If his former world was only black and white.

Now.

In his perception, the world was colorful and vibrant, full of vitality and energy.

Especially under Lu Yuan's diligent efforts.

The fire ant colony expanded rapidly, with the number of fire ants quickly breaking the hundred thousand mark, and their overall strength underwent earth-shattering changes!

Not only that.

These fire ants, compared to before, could actively absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into their bodies, and the speed of their power enhancement was countless times faster than before.

The former fire ant colony, only the soldier ant leader, could single-handedly kill a caterpillar.

But now.

Any random Fire Spirit Soldier Ant can easily kill a caterpillar.

Moreover, these Fire Spirit Soldiers, in groups, could even hunt beasts like rabbits or mice!
