"If I'm not mistaken, are you going to let my people be the fuel for that golden flame?"

As she spoke, the battlefield picture transmitted by Xuan Jun not long ago resurfaced in the queen's mind, in which a golden red fire lotus slowly bloomed in the sky, and the huge swarm tide turned to ash in the fire lotus that shone in the sky.

The whole scene is gorgeous and shocking, which is why the queen ant is willing to give this human ally so much patience, and it also makes her quickly understand why the other party said that she didn't need to go to the island.

But it was precisely because he wanted to understand that an extremely obvious anger immediately climbed onto the queen's face.

Of course, Xu Yue could see the source of the other party's anger, but he decisively chose to ignore it, for an endangered race, as long as it was for the survival of the race, no matter how big the sacrifice was, they would grit their teeth and accept it.

Like the countless honeypot ants in the cave, he was sure that the queen would definitely agree to his plan, after all, the ant clan had no choice now.

"Not only the ant clan, but also the bee clan, and even the feather clan, judging from the scale of the Seagod Disaster in the Second Age, this may be your last chance."

"Once the mysterious island is completely submerged by the ocean, you will all sink to the bottom of the sea and fall into eternal silence, without exception, sooner or later."

"Your Majesty, you need to recognize the reality that all the creatures on the mysterious island have no future, and the same is true for the ant clan, rather than waiting for death in despair, it is better to gamble and shine now."

"The fire lotus above the Maolin Lake must have known about it, maybe that kind of power is not enough to kill the sea god, but what when its scale expands to a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold? At that point, it will no longer be impossible. ”

Recalling the terrifying killing of the fire lotus, the queen's eyes flickered slightly, but the gloom on her face did not diminish at all.

"It would be a good calculation to let my people become a stepping stone to satisfy Your Excellency's arrogant ambitions, but you can't carry that kind of power, let alone a hundred times, even if it is ten times, your body and soul can't meet its consumption, and the moment the fire lotus blooms, you will be wiped out on the spot."

"I can't do it on my own, but coincidentally, the honey of the bee clan can replenish energy and soothe the spirit, while the ant honey of the ant clan can heal my injuries and strengthen my body, and as long as there are enough of them, it can sustain my life until the unprecedented fire lotus fully blooms and takes the so-called god with me."

"Only when He dies will there be a future for the whole island, or even the whole world, right? Under the crown of the queen ant, it has reached this point, why not fight! ”

The ant queen did not refute Xu Yue's words, but kept calculating the gains and losses of this plan in her heart, no matter how absurd this plan looked, but as the other party said, the current ant clan has long had no choice, this is the last chance, the alien creature cannot land on the island, only this outsider may cause harm to the sea god.

For them, even if they didn't kill the sea god this time, as long as they could inflict serious enough injuries on them to delay the time when the ocean completely submerged the land, it would not be useless.

As for the sacrifices that the tribe has to pay, to put it bluntly, for the civilization form of the ant tribe, as long as the queen ant can survive, the ant tribe will not be extinct, after the end of the second period, there was only one queen ant and a small number of worker ants left in the whole ant nest, but it didn't take long to make a comeback and return to the top.

Ant tribes are different from bees, their nests built deep underground make them extremely resistant to pressure, as long as they are given enough time, they are like weeds in the wasteland, even if the branches and leaves are burned, but as long as the root system in the ground is still there, they can blow and grow again.

Thinking of this, the gloomy color on the ant back faded a lot, she stared into Xu Yue's eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"You only have one chance to kill, once you let the sea god attract the lake on the outskirts of the island, the power of the fire lotus will be greatly weakened, and secondly, the upper limit of Ling's spiritual power is not enough, even with the continuous support of honey, it is still not enough for you to master such a huge amount of flames."

"The power of the sea god is more terrifying than you think, and now it is the Quaternary, and now he is far better than before, if he wants to win, with the degree of your Excellency's current performance, it is not enough to convince the ant clan."

Recalling the tragic situation of bleeding from seven holes due to mental overdraft not long ago, Xu Yue did not deny the queen ant's inference that with his current intellectual attributes, he was indeed powerless, but since he could propose this plan, he naturally had a solution to it.

"It didn't take long for me to follow the torturer into the ant nest before, but all the males in the entire ant nest seem to know my identity and strength for the first time, this level of information transmission efficiency, it is impossible to rely on the torture horror's mental communication ability alone."

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be something similar to a telepathic transmission network in the ant nest, within the scope of the network, the spiritual power of the corresponding individual can be amplified, and a connection can be formed between each other, as long as the queen ant can include me in the network, the spiritual burden of the fire lotus can be shared among multiple male ants, and the problem of insufficient mental power can be easily solved."

After hearing this, the queen ant groaned for a few breaths, and couldn't help but look up and down at the human ally in front of her, her eyes a little more profound.

"Well, this network does exist, this is based on the 'Soul Communication', and the 'Soul Network' was finally created by the 24th Queen Ant, obviously it was only less than a day, it seems that Your Excellency Torch has a very deep understanding of our clan."

"But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Excellency, even if I can let you learn 'heart communication', it won't help if you successfully access the network, because the 'heart network' is built with the queen ant as the core, and its coverage area is limited to the ant nest, and the ant queen must not leave the nest, this is the absolute rule set by the first queen ant for the survival of the race, and I can't violate it."

With the declaration that it could not be disobeyed, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became silent, if the queen ant could not leave the nest, then the web of the mind would not have any effect, which would greatly reduce the power of the red lotus.

It doesn't really matter whether this so-called absolute rule can be violated, the real point is that the safety of the queen ant is about the survival of this ant colony, and it is obvious that Xu Yue's plan has not yet reached the level that can make the ant clan desperate, at least not enough to put the queen ant in danger.

After all, no matter how feasible the current plan is, it is only his words after all, and the queen ant, as the foundation of the clan, cannot behave so impulsively.

It is not so simple to get the entire ant clan to support his actions desperately, the killing of the bee clan not long ago is just the most basic stepping stone, and now he needs to come up with something more valuable to convince this absolute master of the ant clan.

"Your Majesty, may I ask how many queens you have been in the development of the ant clan so far?"

Faced with this sudden question, the queen ant was stunned for a moment, but still answered truthfully.

"The 32nd."

"In about 400 years, 32 queens, which means that the average lifespan of each queen is less than 20 years, right?"

"I've observed, compared to the strong male ant leaders, although the physique of your ant queen is also not weak, but it is far from worthy of the surging spiritual power like the ocean, the soul that is so strong that there is nowhere to put it, and the relatively weak body, well, quite a familiar situation."

As he spoke, the image of a dying old man in a wheelchair flashed in Xu Yue's mind, and he continued:

"Even if there is no alienation, some queens in nature can live for about 30 years, but your life expectancy is obviously abnormal, the only explanation is that the body and soul cannot match, under the pressure of too strong souls, the body is not only unable to complete the task of supporting, but also more and more overwhelmed, so there will be a situation of continuous reduction in lifespan, which is very similar to an elder I know, I don't know if my guess is right?"

After the words fell, the queen ant's gaze at Xu Yue became extremely inexplicable, for the matter of longevity, it is not a secret in the ant clan, and there is always a corresponding price to be paid for being strong, which is understandable, the queen ant represents the supreme position, but it is also an inescapable responsibility.

She didn't care about the shortage of life expectancy, but when the other party suddenly talked about it at this time, the meaning behind it was quite intriguing.

"That's right, the lifespan of each queen ant is generally not long, that's because of the unique inheritance mode of the ant clan, whenever the life of the previous queen ant is about to come to an end, through the inheritance ceremony, she can instill her spiritual energy with the inheritance memory to the next queen ant."

"The advantage of this is that over time, each queen will be stronger than the ancestors, but correspondingly, the stronger the soul will gradually overwhelm the body, in this case, the shortage of lifespan is inevitable, and it seems that this problem can be solved by listening to the meaning of the Torch?"

"Yes, I can!"

A categorical affirmation spat out from Xu Yue's mouth, and his gaze swept over the raised eyebrows of the queen ant, and he continued to speak.

"I once learned a skill with unlimited potential from an elder who successfully transferred his soul to the body of his brother after his body was destroyed by an external force, and lived a second life."

"In other words, if Her Majesty can master this skill, then the body will no longer be a constraint and a burden, but just a consumable, and you have countless heirs, that is, countless bodies that can be freely converted."

"The dark nest is no longer your only destination, and the short lifespan of the flesh cannot limit your endless time, at that time, distance will no longer be a problem, as long as you solve the sea god, with this ability and countless heirs, you may be able to become the next god, a god that belongs exclusively to the ant clan, or even the zerg."

Xu Yue's words were impassioned, this was his biggest bargaining chip to convince the ant clan, and the above ideas were not lies, but a future that he really had a chance to achieve, he didn't care if he would create another more powerful monster after killing the sea god, anyway, after leaving this world, he wouldn't care if it was a flood.

On the other side, the queen ant looked at the 'unashamed' human ally in front of her with some determination, and her breathing began to become a little shortness unconsciously, for the strong of the spiritual system, distinguishing lies can be said to be the most basic ability, but it is also so, she knows very well what Xu Yue said about this ability, it will be a new future for the ant clan.

"What is this skill called?"

"Mind space!"

………………

Outside, the Ant's Nest Hall.

Xu Yue's closed eyes slowly opened, and a familiar scene appeared in front of him, as if the recent flood and the conversation on the ocean were just a dream, but he knew very well that all this was true.

A man, an ant, and two pairs of eyes met in the hall, and the queen ant was the first to lower her eyes, masking the flickering excitement in her eyes, and she looked at the male ant leader who had been standing here on either side of the throne.

"Xuan Jun, Dark Armor, you step aside first, I have some important cooperation to discuss with this Flame Lord."

"Yes!"

For the order of the queen ant, the two male ant commanders have no doubts, and they leave decisively after receiving the order, for all the ant clan, the meaning of the queen ant is not just the king, but also the giver of life, worthy of their unconditional follow.

As for the danger? The majestic psychic power of the queen ant is far more powerful than their physique.

The reverberating footsteps in the hall gradually walked away, and with the sound of the giant door closing, the queen ant hung down her huge white jade head, and her tone was full of anticipation.

"Begin, Lord Flame, let me see just how amazing this ability called Psychic Space really is."

The wide purple flame wings spread out behind his back, and Xu Yue quickly flew in front of the queen ant with a fan, staring at the pair of amber eyes, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the other party's smooth forehead, and said lightly:

"Your Majesty, remember the principle of mental space that I explained to you before, now let go of your guard, and I will assist you in opening up your own mental space."

As the words fell, a white point of light flew out from Xu Yue's eyebrows and merged into the inside of the queen's skull, and then both closed their eyes at the same time, and the hall gradually fell silent.

When Professor X helped him open his mental space, he used his own mental space as a guide to find the right path, so that Xu Yue could open it independently.

But he was obviously not ready to take the same method, not to mention the many secrets in his mental space, just allowing an existence whose spiritual power was much stronger than his own to rashly enter the space, this was an extremely risky thing, so he chose to use distraction as a carrier to assist the queen ant to forcibly open it.

……………

The strange feeling of consciousness sinking into the depths of the sea, and the feeling of the outside body was rapidly thinning, and this strange feeling made a strong sense of unease welling up in her heart, and the queen wanted to struggle, but the remaining sanity reminded her of the warning of her human ally.

So she restrained her restlessness and let her consciousness plunge into the depths of the sea until she was unconscious.

I don't know how long later, when the perception of the body returned, the queen's closed eyes opened suddenly.

The moment she opened it, the warm sunlight immediately poured into her eyes, not the false sunlight created by the sun mushroom, but the real one, which could make the body warm and comfortable, she had not felt the real warm sun for nearly ten years, and the queen ant was very sure of it.

At the same time, the strange and familiar scent of grass rushed into her nostrils, a long-lost smell, and in the nest, she smelled only the rotten mud and stone.

After taking a deep breath, the queen ant looked out and saw a verdant and vast meadow immediately occupying all the field of vision, the golden sunlight shining from the sky, and the well-defined grass stirring up grass waves under the caress of the breeze, which seemed so real and beautiful.

To her left was a lush forest, and behind her was the familiar Red Rock Mountains, whimpering in the wind, and apart from both, there was a flat grassland as far as the eye could see.

Beyond the prairie was a turbulent blue ocean, and as soon as the horizon expanded, it was completely obscured by the gray mist, and it was no longer possible to see anything clearly.

After looking at the surrounding environment, the queen ant couldn't help but let out a long moan in her throat, since taking over the duties of the queen ant, this is the first time she has left the nest located deep underground, even if in a sense, everything around it is just illusory, but it still makes her 'house girl' who has been locked up for ten years excited.

Bending down to crush a piece of grass at her feet, the light green juice smeared between the two fingertips, the queen ant put her fingers close to her nose and sniffed, and then threw the crumbled grass clippings into her mouth, and as she chewed, a faint bitter taste slipped through her taste buds, making her a little dazed for a moment.

As a master of psychic illusions, she could feel that the reality of this space was far beyond the illusions she had created, and it was almost the same as reality.

"This is the space of the mind, and it is indeed a great ability."

"No, the mental space of ordinary beings is far from achieving this kind of effect of being fake, not to mention such a vast area, what is really worth marveling at is the majestic spiritual energy and strong soul essence under the queen's crown."

Just as the queen ant was admiring, the praise of the human ally also sounded in her ears.

Xu Yue appeared beside the queen ant, he looked around the scene, his face was undisguised with envy, the queen's spiritual power was far stronger than he imagined, even if it was just completed, the area of the other party's mental space was twice as much as he was now.
