The Source of Devouring

"What's going on?"

The sudden turn of events left Xie Tianxiao somewhat dumbfounded.

Not only had this Ancient Devouring Insect broken free of his restraints, it had even taken the initiative to declare its submission to him. It was far too bizarre.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Tianxiao stared at the Ancient Devouring Insect prostrate on the ground and said, "The Devouring Insect race has always survived by devouring all things. Why have you suddenly gained human intelligence and chosen to acknowledge me as your master?"

"Great Creator, you radiate eternal faith. Your servant is willing to offer everything and follow you forever."

The Devouring Insect spoke again, its tone filled with devotion.

Hearing this, Xie Tianxiao could not help but frown slightly.

What faith? What Creator? The more he listened, the more confused he became. Did such things even exist on the Battle Qi Continent?

The Ancient Devouring Insect had talked for so long without explaining anything clearly.

"System, what is going on with it? Don't tell me you don't know either?"

Xie Tianxiao asked the system.

Ding!

[The system is currently searching...]

Ding!

[After devouring all things over countless years, this creature has developed a trace of devouring power within its body. Upon coming into contact with the host, it resonated with the host and naturally submitted to the host.]

The system replied.

"Devouring power? You mean it submitted to me and sees me as some Creator because of you, System?"

Xie Tianxiao said, half-understanding.

Ding!

[The host possesses this system and is therefore the source of all devouring power in this world.]

[The Ancient Devouring Insects of the Battle Qi Continent merely react this way before the host because they are following the instinct embedded in their bloodline.]
