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

However, as power increases.

The benefits brought to Lu Yuan by ordinary descendants can already be ignored.

After all, the gap between Chained Realm Demon Beasts and ordinary beasts is like a chasm, which cannot be made up for by numbers.

Even if ten billion ordinary Fire Spirit Ants were born, they might not be able to provide him with much vitality.

And although the Sawtooth Ant Queen and Mountain-Shaking Ant Queen are also Chained Realm Demon Beasts, their offspring require a large consumption of resources.

Moreover, their speed and efficiency are dozens of times slower.

Under normal circumstances.

A Fire Spirit Ant Queen can lay five thousand eggs a day, while a Mountain-Shaking Ant Queen laying five hundred eggs is quite good.

The efficiency is less than one-tenth of the former.

Lu Yuan can understand this point very well.

Heaven is fair.

The weaker the individual, the stronger the reproductive ability.

For example, the most ordinary White Ant Queen can lay tens of thousands of eggs in a day.

But conversely.

As individual strength increases, reproductive ability will weaken.

Just like True Dragons, Fire Phoenixes, and Qilin, these divine beasts with powerful bloodlines often cannot give birth to a descendant even in hundreds of years.

"It's the quality of offspring that matters, not quantity. At the Chained Realm, relying on numbers to cause qualitative change is as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

Since he reincarnated, he has been in this world for more than half a year.

He has also gained a general understanding of the situation in this world.

According to the information he gathered.

The cultivation realms in this world are roughly divided into: Blood Refining, Shackles, Carefree, Nirvana, Creation, Yin and Yang, Life and Death, Daoist Palace, and Divine Aspect.

These nine realms are also known as the Lower Three Realms, Middle Three Realms, and Upper Three Realms.

As for the realms above Divine Aspect, they are beyond what a small ant like Lu Yuan can know.

If he wants to break through to the Third Realm, he must take a Spirit Elixir or find a stronger partner.

"The Black Wind Forest is just a remote jungle, with few Blood Refining Realm Demon Beasts. Even if there are some precious spirit medicines, they have long been scavenged by the strong of the Human Race."

Lu Yuan sighed.

After pondering for several days, he finally thought of a solution.

As the saying goes.

Strength comes in numbers.

Relying on himself alone to expand the ant colony is unrealistic.

So Lu Yuan changed his strategy.

He spent considerable effort to improve the Celestial Ant Divine Skill and taught this cultivation technique to his outstanding descendants.

The improved Celestial Ant Divine Skill, although less than one percent of the original power.

But for ordinary Ant Race, it's more than enough.

Then.

He divided other tribes' ordinary Ant Queens to these descendants, permitting them to build nests independently and establish new ant colonies.

In this way.

The speed of ant colony proliferation directly increased by several magnitudes.

One begets two, two beget three, three give rise to all things!

Reproduce!

Reproduce to your heart's content!

As long as the numbers are enough, a qualitative change is just a matter of time!

[Your descendants cultivated the Celestial Ant Divine Skill, underwent a bloodline transformation, and became stronger!]

[Your descendants multiplied rapidly, and you received a massive backfeed of vitality!]

[Your descendants reproduced heavily, the number of ant colonies has broken through the ten billion mark, and you successfully stepped into the Carefree Realm!]

Not long after.

Everywhere, covered with endless ant nests and swarms.

Wherever they go, nothing grows.

Flowers, bark, poisonous insects, wild beasts, all are gnawed clean by the ant swarms.

Soon Lu Yuan discovered.

The entire Black Wind Forest was gnawed clean by the ant swarms.

Even in the end.

Many ant swarms, due to lack of food, even started cannibalizing.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan could only order the ant swarms to expand outward.

Valley of Ten Thousand Insects!

Located deep within the Taiyue Mountain Range.

The climate here is humid, shrouded in poisonous mist and miasma year-round.

It's said that this place once housed the mountain gate of a certain Sect, proficient in refining various poisonous insects and poisons.

But hundreds of years ago.

A certain Elder attempted to refine a Poison Pill with the full force of the Sect.

However, due to a moment's negligence, the Poison Pill exploded, and the entire sect, hundreds of disciples and Elders, all died from the poison!

And this area became a forbidden zone for all living beings.

After hundreds of years of growth and development, countless poisonous snakes and insects now reside here.

These insects are extremely poisonous, and being bitten can instantly kill even a Chained Realm cultivator.

Thus, this place has always been a paradise for poisonous insects, with countless poisonous plants and spirit medicines growing here.

Even the powerful third realm cultivators of the Human Race dare not set foot here rashly.

But on this day.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Insects faced an earth-shattering upheaval.

Accompanied by a rustling sound.

A vast, endless army of Ant Race, like a tide, spread from afar.

These ants are dark red, seemingly no different from ordinary fire ants from afar.

But on closer inspection, one would be horrified to discover.

Even the most ordinary Fire Spirit Ant is as thick as a thumb.

Especially the Fire Spirit Soldier Ants, which are so robust they seem almost exaggerated, as thick as an adult's arm!

In addition to that.

There are tens of thousands of ants covered in black armor, as large as mice, with massive jaws like sharp sickles that can shred anything into pieces.

These ants are the result of the amalgamation of Fire Spirit Ants, Black-armored Ants, and Sawtooth Ants, imbued with the Celestial Ant Divine Skill—the mutated Mountain-Shaking Demon Ants.

Almost every mutated Mountain-Shaking Demon Ant possesses Blood Refining Realm power.

When they swarm together, they can devour an elephant to bare bones in an instant.

If that pangolin were still alive, there would be no need for Lu Yuan to act. These mutated Mountain-Shaking Demon Ants alone could easily kill it.
