Knowing that the ancient insect disaster would not break out in the short term, Sunan did not pay too much attention to it.

Leaving all Star Alliance affairs to Liz, he continued to devote himself to the understanding of the laws. Only occasionally, when he stayed for too long and needed to leave the Realm of Truth, would he get busy with the upgrading and transformation of the floating city.

Time flies, years pass.

Just as Sunan was immersed in cultivation, the scale of the ancient insect invasion was gradually expanding.

In the 4988th year of the Starlight Calendar, a swarm of more than five million ancient insects appeared in the Tianhai plane community. In just half a month, more than three planes were occupied by the ancient insects, and more than a dozen planes were invaded at the same time.

The Deep Blue Alliance immediately dispatched to the floating city to kill the invading ancient insects.

In the 5020th year of the Astral Calendar, tens of millions of ancient insect swarms invaded the Dark Throne and at one point attacked the main plane, the Dark Moon Plane, but were eventually repelled by the Dark Throne.

In the following ten years, other wizard forces, the Pantheon plane communities where the gods were located, and even the Dragon Realm plane communities where giant dragons gathered were successively invaded by ancient insects.

Although these forces sent out large armies to kill the ancient insects at the first time, they failed to repel the insect swarm. More and more ancient insects emerged from nowhere, and the scale of the war not only failed to be curbed, but instead tended to gradually expand.

The entire multiverse gradually realized the horror and power of the ancient insects and began to face up to this strange race.

Year 5520 of the Astral Calendar.

Sunan finished his training and returned to the Starlight Continent from the Realm of Truth.

After more than seven hundred years, the Fire Mane King’s divinity was finally consumed by him, and his law of gravity also grew to more than 300 energy levels.

Today, Sunan, relying on the dual law domains and law cores, is even confident enough to fight against a sixth-level wizard.

After returning to the Starlight Floating City and entering the central crystal tower, Liz came to find me.

As soon as they met, Sunan immediately felt the aura of law from Lizé that was more obvious than before.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, “It seems that it won’t be long before our Star Alliance will have another True Spirit Wizard.”

“It’s all thanks to your light-enhancing potion.” Liz smiled.

Thanks to the abundant supply of light enlightenment potions, her comprehension of the laws of the stars was very smooth, far exceeding that of an ordinary third-level wizard.

According to the current progress, it will take less than a thousand years to be promoted to a true spirit wizard.

After a few pleasantries, the two quickly got down to business.

“How’s the situation with Gu Chong recently?”

“Just like you said, the scale of the war has been expanding.” Liz’s expression was solemn. “The number of ancient insects is beyond imagination. According to statistics, they are currently attacking thousands of planes at the same time, and they have occupied almost the same number of planes, almost all of which are planes where intelligent races exist.”

“It’s too early to be surprised now.” Su Nan’s eyes flashed slightly.

Only he knew that the current situation was not the time when the war was at its most intense.

The ancient Zerg’s invasion of the multiverse is still in the stage of casting a full net. It will not be until the middle and late stages of the war that they will gradually shift their main attack targets to the planes with the greatest invasion resistance.

That is, those well-known forces in the multiverse.

Only then will the war become intense.

“This is the latest battle report.” Liz handed over a document.

Su Nan took it and read it carefully.

The battle report counts the losses of various forces since the appearance of the ancient insects.

Judging from the data, gods and wizards are undoubtedly the two groups that suffered the greatest losses.

It’s normal to think about it. After all, in the multiverse, the territories of gods and wizards are the largest.

Even a dragon cannot compare to this.

Since the gods are in the hostile camp, intelligence collection is rather rough and will not be discussed for now.

Sunan focused on reading about the situation in the wizarding world.

In general, almost no wizarding forces could remain immune in this war, and all of them were invaded by ancient insects to varying degrees.

So far, seven third-rate wizard forces and one second-rate wizard force have been destroyed by the invasion of ancient insects.

The situation of most wizarding forces is not good.

Even a powerful wizard force was overwhelmed by the ancient insects.

Among them, the Dark Throne is the most unlucky.

In the entire multiverse, it has suffered the most intense invasion.

In just five hundred years, nearly one-fifth of the Dark Throne’s territory had been occupied by ancient insects. Even if the three throne wizards who had been in seclusion for many years and had not appeared for a long time took action, they could only slightly curb the disadvantage and could not fundamentally reverse the situation.

It can be predicted that once the ancient insect clan gradually converges their attack targets and transfers their main forces over, the situation in the Dark Throne will become even worse.

In this regard, Sunan expressed his pleasure in seeing this happen.

“No wonder the Dark Throne has not made any move in response to the deaths of Jude and others over the years. It turns out that they are too busy to take revenge.”

Sunan felt somewhat gloating.

In comparison, the Star Alliance’s situation can be said to be the best.

Because of Sunan’s early warning, the Star Alliance had already taken precautions and made adequate preparations, so the losses suffered in this war were not great.

The situation is still under control.

After Sunan finished reading the battle report, Liz said, “The people below have captured some strange ancient insects. I think you might know them.”

“Strange ancient insect?”

Sunan became interested and came to the Forbidden Magic Prison with Liz.

More than ten ferocious insect beasts were imprisoned in the prison room engraved with densely packed runes.

These insect beasts are not big, only three or four meters tall, which can only be considered medium among the ancient insect clan. There is nothing special about their appearance, except for a sharp crystal cluster on their heads that is somewhat eye-catching.

“This ancient insect seems to serve as the commander of the swarm. In any swarm with more than a thousand, there is at least one of this kind of ancient insect.”

“I dissected several in the lab and found this in all of them.”

Liz stretched out her hand, and in her palm was a stone-like object the size of an egg. It looked ordinary, but after careful observation, she found that this object could actually mobilize the power of the laws in the surrounding void.

Su Nan’s eyes flashed with interest, and he took the stone and felt it carefully, and found that the activity of some law power within a hundred meters around the stone was obviously improved. However, the properties of this part of the law power were quite extreme.

Killing, destruction, and devouring are almost all negative laws!

“This ancient insect is called the Commander-in-Chief. Its status in the ancient insect clan is equivalent to that of a Commander-in-Chief. In wartime, it is responsible for commanding the ordinary ancient insects to fight. It has a high level of intelligence and only obeys the orders of the Nest Mother.”

“Hive Mother?” Liz frowned in confusion. “Hive Mother?”

Su Nan nodded: “Almost the same. The Nest Mother Worm itself has little combat power, but it can command tens of millions of insect swarms to fight at the same time. It is the royal family of the ancient insects. I guess there are not many Nest Mother Worms in the entire ancient insect clan.”

If the Nest Mother is the commander of the Zerg, then the Warlord is the general of the Zerg.

The former is responsible for commanding super-large-scale wars, while the latter is responsible for commanding small-scale regional wars.

After listening to Sunan’s explanation, Liz suddenly realized it, looked at the stone in Sunan’s hand again, and asked, “What is this?”

“I’m not sure either. It should be some kind of crystal core.”

Sunan shook his head. He had limited knowledge about the ancient insect clan. He only knew about the existence of the commander-in-chief insect and the nest mother insect, but had no way of knowing more detailed information.

It was also the first time that he knew that there was such a crystal core in the body of the Marshal’s Insect that could activate the power of the law.

“No matter what, nothing that has anything to do with the power of law is ordinary.”

“This crystal core is worth studying. Perhaps we can get some interesting discoveries.”

“Send these Overseer Worms to my lab.”

As Sunan’s order was given, more than ten warlord insects were quickly sent to his laboratory.

Without delay, Sunan began the dissection and research that same day.

What makes the ancient insect clan so terrifying is their swarm of insect tactics and their fearless fighting style.

The individual strength is actually not that strong.

Even the higher-ranking Warlord Bug only has the combat power of a first-level wizard.

After the dissection, the body structure of the Governor’s Insect did not bring any surprises to Sunan, so he finally focused his main research target on the crystal core.

The result was a surprise for him.

The crystal core in the structure of the Warlord Worm plays the role of ultra-long-distance transmission and reception of information waves, thereby commanding the swarm to fight.

If we have to find an analogy, it is probably somewhat similar to the Godhead.

The gods can receive prayers from millions of believers at the same time through their divine nature and process the information. They can also issue orders to believers through their divine nature and even grant them divine powers and magic.

The crystal core of the Warlord Worm is quite similar to the godhead in this respect.

As for why the crystal core can mobilize the power of the law, Su Nan guessed that it was due to the close connection with the ancient insect’s thoughts and spirit.

Ancient insects are an extremely ethnically-oriented race. Ordinary ancient insects have almost no thoughts of their own, and all actions are ordered by the commander-in-chief or the nest-mother insect.

They completely handed over their spiritual will to the latter two.

Through the connection of the crystal core, the spiritual will of the Zerg gathers together to form a huge spiritual network.

A single ancient insect is nothing, but when the number reaches a certain scale, the mental network can leverage the power of laws such as killing, destruction, and devouring.

And these forces of laws will eventually converge at the source of the network, which is the crystal core.

Under the subtle influence, it is not surprising that the crystal core has the function of activating the power of the law.

Of course, since the Marshal’s Worm itself is too weak, the power of the laws it evokes is also very small. It can only be used to assist the crystal core in processing massive amounts of information and has almost no effect on its own combat effectiveness.

Simply put, the crystal core is actually equivalent to a super-lower version of the godhead.

“If that’s the case, can we use the crystal core to synthesize something similar to the godhead?”

An idea suddenly came to Su Nan’s mind and his eyes lit up.

Worth a try!
With a plan in mind, Sunan immediately used the Rubik’s Cube to synthesize all the crystal cores in his hand.

After the synthesis of the crystal core, all the murderous and destructive thoughts contained in it have disappeared completely, leaving only the purest origin.

Sunan tried using it and found that the efficiency of comprehending the laws was significantly improved.

“Although the effect is not as good as the Godhead, that’s because the number of synthesis is too small. As long as the number of synthesis is increased, it can completely replace the Godhead to assist in cultivation.”

Delighted, Sunan immediately ordered the Star Alliance to hunt down the Marshal’s Insects with all their might, collect the crystal cores, and at the same time purchase the crystal cores of the Marshal’s Insects from outside.

Although this thing is somewhat peculiar, it is not very useful and can only be effective when used with a synthetic Rubik’s Cube. Sunan is not afraid of not being able to purchase it.

Originally, it stands to reason that the crystal core of the Marshal Worm has this effect, and the Nest Mother Worm must also have a similar crystal core, and the effect must be even more powerful.

However, the number of nest mother insects is rare, and every time they appear, they are surrounded by a large number of insect swarms guarding them.

Unless the floating city is deployed, it is unlikely to kill the Nest Mother Worm, so Sunan did not set his sights on the Nest Mother Worm.

Anyway, as long as the ancient insect disaster continues, there will probably be a chance to encounter the nest mother insect in the future.

After Sunan’s order was issued, the Star Alliance began to collect the crystal cores of the Warlord Worms with all its strength.

The commander-in-chief worm is relatively rare among ancient worms, and there may not be one commander-in-chief worm among a thousand ancient worms.

But the number of ancient insects is too large, and in the face of the huge base, the number of the governor’s insects is not small.

Many people are curious about the purpose of the Star Alliance collecting crystal cores, but after studying them, they have not found anything special about the crystal cores.

At the same time, as the intensity of the war increased and it was foreseeable that it would not end for a long time in the future, the major wizarding forces began to consciously acquire and reserve resources, so that the prices of various resources showed a significant increase.

In this case, everything must give way to war reserves.

Seeing that the Star Alliance offered a high price to purchase the crystal cores, most of the wizarding forces also traded the crystal cores to the Star Alliance.

Although the number of crystal cores purchased was not large, it was more than enough to support Sunan’s cultivation.

“At this rate, in three thousand years at most, my law of gravity will be able to break through to the 1000 energy level.”

A smile appeared on Su Nan’s face.

There is probably no other true spirit wizard like him who has the “godhood” and law nodes to assist in his cultivation from beginning to end. (End of this chapter)
