"Report, the Great Shifting Array has been destroyed!" A young man in light armor knelt down on one knee and reported to the leader sitting behind a long table.

"Well done. Originally, I didn't plan to destroy the Great Shifting Array, because I might need it later. But I didn't expect the Terrans to send an investigation team...... In order to prevent them from reporting back what they saw, they had to destroy the Great Shifting Array first. What a pity! ”

"In my opinion, there's nothing to be sorry about." A large bug that looked like a praying mantis sitting on the left laughed with a sonorous meaning, "We occupy this place, and our children and grandchildren will soon multiply." It won't be many years before this place becomes our kingdom, so why use the Great Shifting Array to go somewhere else? ”

"The world is so big, we can't be overconfident. It must be known that although the clan is currently prosperous, it does not even have an immortal who can suppress the qi of the clan. Sitting on the right, the worm with a large snail-like shell shook its head and said, "I just don't know when the empress will be born...... My clan has no imperial leadership, and I always feel empty in my heart......"

"We all hope that the Empress will be born soon, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed." The big scorpion, who should be the supreme leader of the alien insects at the moment, said in a deep voice, "The empress must get the best cultivation and adequate nutrition, so that she can be born an immortal." If you're in a hurry now, what if something happens when the empress is born...... Our death is not enough to atone for our sins! ”

"You're right all life." The great mantis sighed, "But I don't know why, I always have some premonitions of danger these days, as if something bad is going to happen......"

"Whatever it has! All of us are united, and we are not afraid of any danger! The big snail said in a deep voice, "Sansheng, you are nervous. Nervousness makes you lose your cool a little - it's unnecessary, and even the most dangerous situation is more dangerous than when we escaped. At the beginning, there were only three of us in the entire ethnic group, only a dozen of us at the 'use' level, and only about a hundred at the 'instrument' level...... At that time, we all got through it, and we were still afraid of this little trouble in front of us? ”

The other two insects laughed, their laughter filled with joy, causing the group of young insects sitting in the courtyard outside to look at each other.

"Twenty-nine lives, what happened to the three old men just now?" A particularly tall bug asked the delicate bug who had just come out.

"The old men are nostalgic for the past again." The delicate insect replied with a smile, took a bottle of bright red wine on the table, and took a sip, "There is too much blood in this wine, and the taste is a little too sweet." ”

"We don't mind, as long as you're from a rich family." A bug that had already placed a lot of empty wine jars around him smiled, "Don't be confused by those memories before awakening, we are us, those memories are owned by the soil that nurtured us, for us, it has a lot of value, but there is also a lot of meaningless garbage." ”

"Perhaps, fifteen lives you are right." The delicate insect sighed, leaned on the big tree with the wine bottle, looked at the clear night sky, and drank silently.

When the drunkard saw him like this, he did not continue to persuade him. For bugs of their level, how to deal with those previous memories is a big problem. He himself was a lover of alcohol, and he did not mean to use it to combat the confusion in his heart.

"Alas! I sometimes wonder, is 'awakening' really a good thing? A very thin insect sitting in the corner eating suddenly sighed, "It's naturally terrible to be muddy like the 'device' level, but like the 'use' level, you have some wisdom, but you won't be hurt by the wisdom, and you live happily every day, and you always feel that it is a very happy thing!" ”

"Why don't you think about it the other way? As long as you work hard to cultivate, sooner or later, you will be able to solve the mystery between the past and this life like those elder brothers—when the time comes, you may even be able to become an immortal! ”

"Forget it! The Immortals...... That's exclusive to the Empress. Can we live forever? I don't believe it! A stubby insect with a huge horn on its head muttered, "I was also a person who had been practicing penance for nearly 7,000 years, but I didn't touch the threshold of immortality until I died." There's no reason why the qualifications are higher after awakening! ”

When he said this, many insects stopped talking.

In the insect swarm, there are only a handful of insects that can "awaken" and regain their memories and strength after all. But the price of regaining strength is the trouble of more wisdom.

“…… I hope that the empress will be born soon, and with her leadership, we will know where to go in the future and the direction of progress! ”

In the night sky, a figure stood in the shadow of the bright moon, watching the group of drinking and chatting insects from afar.

"It's so much fun! It's so funny that a bunch of things hatched out of the shells of dead people are seriously discussing topics like the meaning of life and happiness! ”

The figure was all black, but no one noticed his presence. He observed the insects, nodded, and disappeared suddenly, only to find himself in an underground lair.

This nest is actually built under the manor, and those insects who have opened their minds are guarding the nest.

There were no bugs back and forth in the whole nest, only a lot of scarlet silk threads that stretched far away. These threads eventually join together to form a large cocoon.

The dark shadow stood in front of the cocoon, staring at it for a long time, and finally smiled, laughing happily.

"When this Alien Empress is born and refines it into a magic weapon, I can use it to manipulate this Alien Worm that has already taken shape - haha, compared to my Alien Worm, those Dao soldiers of other sects are simply not worth mentioning!"

"As long as I have this Dao army, I am sure to go deep into a few dangerous ruins and look for the treasures left by those Cave Void True Monarchs in the past...... I've accumulated deep enough, as long as I find a few more suitable treasures, I can start to entrust the primordial spirit to the void! ”

"When the time comes, I, Ao Yan, will also be the Cave Void True Monarch who opened up the world, and in the entire Dragon Palace, I will also be one of the biggest names in the whole Dragon Palace......"

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but laugh. The laughter shook the red threads, and looking along the vibrating threads, one could see that each thread was attached to a comatose person, constantly drawing their life force to provide enough nourishment for the Empress of the Insect that was being bred in the cocoon.

Wu Xie and the others didn't know what the bugs were thinking, and they didn't know what the bugs were doing. After they determined that the Great Shifting Array could not be repaired for the time being, they changed direction and headed towards the "Shocking Cloud Mountain", the largest sect in the entire Cloud Race Country.

Shocking Cloud Mountain used to be the largest sect in the entire Yunhong Country, and it is said that there are more than 20 Dao Fruit Cultivators in the sect, and the lineup is not huge, nor is it luxurious. But this is already the old yellow calendar, under the attack of the alien insect clan, the Shocking Cloud Mountain has long been destroyed, and no one has escaped from the door, and all of them have died.

Wu Xie didn't know if there were any alien insect clans stationed in Jingyun Mountain, but since they couldn't go back now, they had to find a place to stay temporarily. After all, Shocking Cloud Mountain used to be the most powerful group of immortal cultivators in this side of the water and soil, and even if it had been breached, there must still be some useful things left - such as some prohibitions that could be reused after repairing, such as spiritual veins that should not have been completely destroyed...... Wait a minute

Wu Xie didn't go to live simply, more importantly, they needed to cultivate, and cultivation inevitably required enough aura. The Mountain of Shocking Clouds would be able to provide them with enough aura, so although it might be dangerous, after some discussion, they decided to go to the place where the Megatron Cloud Kingdom had once been powerful.

From the Great Shifting Array to Jingyun Mountain, the journey is not very far. Along the way, they saw another city with no inhabitants - but strangely, many villages along the way were untouched, and the people were still farming.

Wu Xie once turned into a wandering Langzhong to ask what was going on, but the answer he got made him stunned.

"Isn't it a good thing that the old men in the city are gone? You don't have to pay taxes! The farmer, with the open-mindedness and cunning characteristic of a grassroots worker, answered his question perfectly.

Wu Xie didn't know if this answer was correct, but there was no doubt that the peasant really didn't care if there were people in the city.

In fact, most farmers don't care.

The people of Yunhong Country live very poorly, the land here is barren, the products are not abundant, and the taxes collected by the government and landlords are not low. Even in the year of the harvest, the life of the farmers is tight; And if there is a famine year with a poor harvest, they will starve to death, flee the famine, and sell their sons and daughters...... It's just commonplace!

Wu Xie asked many people one after another, and after he came back, his face was always a little gloomy.

"Satsuki, have you ever paid attention to the situation of mortals?" When Ding Xiaoyue, who also went out to collect news, came back, he asked.

"Mortal? Aren't mortals always like that? The sun rises and the sun sets, and the men and women weave ......," Ding Xiaoyue replied in confusion.

Wu Xie was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What did you do before you cultivated?" ”

"I am the daughter of a great prince of the Yunyi Kingdom, the 'Marquis of Xiyun'. Of course, that was a long time ago, my family has long since disappeared, and the last blood relative has been dead for more than seven hundred years......"

Wu Xie looked at her for a long time, until she felt a little uncomfortable, then shook her head and didn't say anything more.

He didn't understand before, with Ding Xiaoyue's qualifications and temperament, especially that kind of outstanding formation talent, it is said that he can also enter the inner door, why did he never pass the assessment?

Now it seems that the fellow disciples of the "Aoki Building" who are responsible for selecting disciples are really more professional and discerning than themselves!

These people who came from wealthy families and never thought of setting their sights on the poor people are really different from him!
