Where there was oppression, there was resistance. With a limit to their lifespan, living beings would constantly seek ways to prolong their lives. Watching the changes in the Primordial World, Jiang Ping could not help but smile.

He knew that if Lian Shan succeeded in living a second life this time, he too would receive a great gift!

Lian Shan was old, but his spirit was no less than in his prime. He began sending people to explore all kinds of extreme regions and risk their lives slaying the strongest magical beasts. He even explored the depths of the ocean. Although more than half of the Human Race's experts were killed or injured, they still brought back Blood of Cthulhu Evil God from the ocean depths!

Everyone said Lian Shan had become muddleheaded in his later years, yet no one knew exactly what he was trying to do. Only his most trusted disciples understood a little.

After obtaining materials from all over the world, Lian Shan spent all day shut inside the alchemy room researching. He discovered and recorded the effects of different material combinations one by one.

"This is Cthulhu's Blood from the depths of the ocean." Lian Shan gently swirled the blue blood in his hand.

It was said that this creature was unimaginably powerful. Even the strongest Dragon on land might not be able to defeat it with certainty. More astonishingly, it could cause tremendous mental interference.

He began merging Evil God's Blood with all kinds of miraculous substances. Gradually, he discovered that after merging with Evil God's Blood, living beings became extremely prone to madness, yet their minds would be highly stimulated. They could go days and nights without sleep.

Lian Shan knew he had taken another step closer to his goal.

"Evil God's Blood, Dragon Blood, Dragon Whisker Grass, Ice-Violet Fire Crystal, Blood Origin Grass."

Lian Shan tossed each precious ingredient into the medicine cauldron. These materials came from the heavens, the land, and the ocean depths. Every single one represented the painstaking efforts of countless people.

Finally, after countless failures and after the materials had nearly been exhausted, Lian Shan finally refined the potion he had dreamed of.

"It appeared! It appeared!" Forgetting all dignity as the Human King, Lian Shan could not help running outside and shouting at the sky!

"Has the Human King gone mad?" With his hair hanging loose over his shoulders, Lian Shan shouted and hollered. To Others, he looked no different from a madman.

Outside, Jiang Ping could not help slapping his thigh. "Did he succeed?" Jiang Ping asked nervously.

At that moment, he stared without blinking at Lian Shan's actions.

What Lian Shan had been frantically concocting in his later years was the Longevity Potion that could grant him a second life!

If his potion succeeded, Jiang Ping could replicate the same materials and create a Longevity Potion in reality as well!

Jiang Ping could not help speeding up time. Late at night, Lian Shan drank the golden potion in his hand with the resolve to die. It contained not only all kinds of herbs and minerals, but also various deadly poisons!

Bang!

Lian Shan crashed heavily onto the floor, letting out continuous agonized howls. Yet because of his instructions, there was not a single person outside the door. At that moment, he was like Goku after drinking Ultra Divine Water, enduring unimaginable pain!

But Jiang Ping keenly noticed that Lian Shan's white hair was gradually falling out, replaced by thick black hair.

Sure enough, when Lian Shan appeared again the next day, he had returned to his youngest state. The Human Race's experts could not help kneeling down to celebrate the Human King's rebirth.

The Longevity Potion had been born! Its formula became a treasure that would safeguard the race!

Unfortunately, the materials were too precious. Even after gathering resources from the entire race, they could only refine two or three bottles.

Outside, Jiang Ping saw the reborn Lian Shan and smiled sincerely as well. "Haha! Creation Diary, immediately extract the materials needed for the Longevity Potion! Every material must be The top-tier!"

Creation Diary glowed with white light. Its pages flipped, and one miraculous material after another appeared. Jiang Ping looked around and seemed to realize that his home did not have any proper alchemy tools.

"The Great Dao is Simple. You're the one!" Jiang Ping took out a frying pan with satisfaction.

As long as it could be heated, it would do. He was just starting out, so he could endure rough conditions for now. When he got the chance later, he would get a Qian Kun Cauldron specifically for refining pills.

Evil God's Blood, Undying Divine Herb, Myriad Spirits Root, Ice-Violet Fire Crystal.

Jiang Ping placed the precious materials that did not exist in reality into the frying pan one by one according to the proportions, then turned on the gas and raised the heat to maximum.

The fused potion in the pan continuously bubbled with white foam. Jiang Ping Frowned. The smell was truly unbearable. After that, he continued adding ingredients. Refining medicine really was a huge undertaking!

The herbs Jiang Ping extracted were all top-grade. The Longevity Potion refined this time was Far beyond the one Lian Shan had used. According to Creation Diary's analysis, it would be enough to double his lifespan!

Several hours later, the liquid in the pan gradually turned a brilliant gold. When swirled, it even shone with radiance, giving it a sacred feeling that was more captivating than gold itself.

He turned down the heat and reduced the liquid, then looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Although it was his first time refining medicine, it had gone unexpectedly smoothly. Who would have thought he had a talent for alchemy?

After twenty minutes, when the potion had stabilized and cooled, Jiang Ping carefully poured it into a bowl. Yet despite using so many materials, it did not even fill half the bowl!

Jiang Ping could only comfort himself that concentration was the essence. Thinking of Lian Shan's suffering after drinking the potion, Jiang Ping trembled slightly.

He Just wanted to ask Creation Diary whether it could block out pain, but then he reconsidered. He could gain an extra lifetime—could he not endure even this little pain? Who knew how many people in the world would be willing to trade their entire fortunes for it!

Jiang Ping gritted his teeth, took out a towel, and prepared to put it in his mouth. Then, like when he drank medicine as a child, he gulped down the small half-bowl of golden liquid in one go.

The moment the Longevity Potion entered his stomach, Jiang Ping felt as if blazing flames were burning inside him. Pain! Pain! Pain!

He was about to scream, but immediately bit down hard on the towel. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans poured from his head. Though he was in extreme pain, his mind was overflowing with energy.

At that moment, every cell in Jiang Ping's body seemed to be undergoing forced metamorphosis! And this transformation clearly could not be completed in a short time.

While Jiang Ping took the potion and transformed, the Primordial World continued developing rapidly. Having gained new life, Lian Shan regained his former vigor and once again united the Human Race, climbing toward greater heights. This time, the Human Race's presence reached every corner of the primordial land.

Dragons, being treasures from head to toe, were nearly hunted to extinction by the Human Race!

The former overlords of the sky were now almost extinct, able only to cling to life in hidden corners!

During this period, the Human Race discovered a group even smaller than themselves. These ants that devoured everything looked tiny, but possessed immense strength and were naturally bloodthirsty, attacking any other creature they encountered.

The Human Race had wanted to communicate peacefully with them, but discovered that they simply could not communicate. The Devouring Ants seemed to lack Self-Awareness, merely carrying out their fixed duties.

Lian Shan personally tried to negotiate with the Devouring Ants, but they continued attacking as though they had not seen him. A guard impaled one with a single thrust of his spear.

"King, I told you already. These strange creatures have no intelligence. Why waste your breath?"

Yet Lian Shan Frowned as he looked at the Ant Race's corpse. If they truly had no intelligence, then why were their structures so exquisite that even the Human Race's most outstanding architects marveled at them? And what kind of civilization did they possess?

Although he had many doubts about the Devouring Ants, there were still countless mysteries in the world waiting for him to explore. Lian Shan could only suppress his doubts and leave.

What he did not know was that several thousand meters underground, an Ant Queen around four meters long was slowly devouring the Human Race warrior who had disappeared earlier.

"The Human Race? Such a powerful race, and they were actually fortunate enough to receive Divine Revelation!" The Ant Queen narrowed her two large eyes and slowly digested the knowledge obtained from the human's brain.

Three God-bestowed Treasures?

Flame was clearly unsuitable for her race. It seemed she would have to find a way to obtain the other two treasures. The Spear of Destiny was controlled by the Human King, so she would seize the Tablet of Truth!

The Ant Queen secretly calculated whether she could use the God-bestowed Treasure to glimpse the realm of the gods!

However, the Human Race's strength also made her wary. She decisively ordered her subordinates to keep a low profile and slowly endure. At the same time, they would secretly prey on Human Race experts, allowing her to devour their corpses and gain her next evolution!

Gradually, as she devoured more and more humans, the Devouring Ant Queen slowly began to evolve. Her head increasingly resembled a human face, and she came to understand all of the Human Race's knowledge, even gradually beginning to innovate upon it.

And as members of the race gradually disappeared, Human King Lian Shan believed they had merely died normally in the wilderness. After all, the Primordial World was incomparably dangerous. Although the Human Race was powerful, the wilds also contained countless giant beasts.

One was in the open, the other in the shadows. The Human Race remained completely unaware that a colossal creature was lurking beneath the ground.
