After Cang Nan returned to the tribe, he led his people in comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, categorizing and summarizing all natural phenomena, and using numbers to solve the world's problems. Gradually, the Human Race changed with each passing day.

New inventions appeared every day. They smelted ores, forged metal weapons, and successively created bows, crossbows, and catapults.

Humanity had leaped from the Stone Age into the Iron Age! Some powerful individuals even incorporated Mathematical Formulas into cultivation techniques, using the greater heaven and earth to create a lesser heaven and earth, and their bodies to simulate natural phenomena. It had to be said that there were truly many capable people, and quite a few had actually succeeded.

Previously, Human Race powerhouses who fused bloodlines could breathe fire and mist, but they only knew how it worked, not why.

After studying it, they discovered that certain organs stored energy, which was then ignited and activated through the throat before flames could be expelled. Even the primitive Cultivation Methods were further improved!

Jiang Ping had never expected that after giving them a single seed, they would give him such a huge surprise. He practiced the mathematized Human King Breathing Technique, and its effects were actually a hundred times greater than before!

However, the prerequisite for cultivating this technique was being good at Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Jiang Ping sighed. "Master Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, and you can travel the world without fear."

However, Jiang Ping also keenly noticed that his cultivation was somehow different from that of the people in the Primordial World. He always felt that something was subtly out of place. It was fine while he was only beginning, but once he reached greater depths, it would likely cause major problems.

After thinking it over carefully, he realized that the laws of the two worlds were somewhat different. Even so, it still held limitless potential!

If this mathematized cultivation technique were deduced to its ultimate limit, one could perceive the world through special mental frequencies, then use mathematical energy formulas to draw energy from different substances.

It might even open different dimensions, absorb higher-level energy, and ultimately transcend the world.

After thinking it through, Jiang Ping realized that if they truly reached that point, beings capable of transcending the world might appear. They might even break through dimensions and enter the Third Dimension where he was!

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. If they broke through dimensions and saw that the Creation God was this weak, they would probably be stunned. What if they jumped up and punched him in the knee? What would he do then?

"Creation Diary, do you think they will eventually create a cultivation technique capable of breaking through dimensions?" Jiang Ping immediately asked.

"According to calculations, it is impossible. Limited by the potential of the Primordial World, the cultivation technique you imagine cannot be created by them. Breaking through dimensions and transcending the world is not that simple."

Creation Diary completely denied it. "Moreover, Master, there is no need for concern. You can directly control the life and death of the creatures you created. To them, you are still an omniscient and omnipotent Creation God. What's more, as long as even one transcendent being appears,

the energy fed back to you will be beyond imagination. It could almost instantly evolve you into a higher dimension, and even my Main Body might evolve along with you."

Ideals were full, but reality was harsh. Turning the false into reality, shattering the void, and breaking through dimensions were not so easy.

Still, Jiang Ping understood. If a Fierce Person capable of breaking through dimensions truly appeared, he would likely gain enormous benefits, and even the Main Body of Creation Diary might evolve!

He did not need to worry about a transcendent appearing. He should worry that one would not appear!

But from what Creation Diary said, perhaps not even one transcendent being would appear across several worlds. That goal was still far from him.

The Third Generation Human King, Cang Nan, had also given him a surprise. Though it was not as great as that of the Second Generation, Lian Shan, his potential was even higher. Yet within the Primordial World, after Cang Nan took the Longevity Potion, he still inevitably entered his twilight years.

The Fourth Generation Human King was about to ascend the throne. Before his death, Cang Nan was still wondering who the old man he had encountered in his first life's old age had been back then.

Was he real or fake? In the end, he ordered the historian to record in the draft: The Third Generation Human King passed by the Imperial River, encountered an unnamed old man, comprehended the Tablet of Truth, and realized that all things in the world followed laws.

The historian highly praised the third Human King, recording in the history books that his personal battle achievements were far inferior to those of the previous two kings, but his contributions to the development of the race far surpassed theirs!

Under his leadership, the Human Race not only recuperated and prospered, gradually growing in strength, but also led the race through reform! They completely understood the mysteries of the God-bestowed Treasure, the Tablet of Truth!

The Human Race was developing in full swing. Now, human cooking smoke rose everywhere across the land. Other races were either subdued, fled to distant lands, or hid overseas. Humanity had even begun to venture into the depths of the sea!

However, Queen Bersha began noticing the changes in the Human Race. She ordered the Ant Race to emerge from the ground once more. This time, the Ant Queen displayed her power to the world, shocking every race in the Primordial World!

The Devouring Ants were too terrifying! They conquered everything in their path and ate anything. Any race that went to war with them would be conquered.

Among the Ant Race's warriors, every Soldier Ant was a born fighter. As long as resources were available, they could join battle from the moment they were born, requiring no training at all. The outstanding Metal Ants among them made even Human Race warriors shudder.

They wore metal armor, had sharp horns atop their heads, and bodies comparable to the hardest substances in nature.

Other than newly forged weapons, nothing could pierce their defenses. Even so, the Human Race was steadily retreating. If even the overlords of the land were faring so poorly, countless other races had been exterminated.

The most terrifying thing about Devouring Ants was their ability to devour all things. They devoured Supernatural Demonic Beasts and mutated into all kinds of miraculous troop types. They even evolved flying units.

This troop type, known as Sky Ants, had been created after the Ant Queen devoured Pegasus. After devouring Griffins, the Sky Ants underwent a second evolution!

In the end, even Dragons were drowned beneath countless ant swarms. As the saying went, enough ants could bite an elephant to death. Now, enough ants could bite a Dragon to death!

Roar!

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking Dragon's Roar, the last Primitive Dragon was submerged by countless Soldier Ants. Every Soldier Ant was extremely weak, yet as long as they got close to the Dragon, the venom on their bodies would slowly corrode its Dragon Body.

Although countless Soldier Ants died and were injured while surrounding the Dragon, their corpses piling into a small mountain, it was all worth it!

Queen Bersha had risked appearing on the surface for the sake of devouring the top-tier God-created creature—the Dragon!

This time, she would create the strongest troop type—the Dragon Ant!

Bersa's actions were also discovered by the Pegasus Knights watching the ant swarm In the Sky.

The Human King finally learned the social structure of the ant swarm. Everything revolved around the Ant Queen!

She devoured matter and energy, breeding and creating all kinds of troop types. The various ant swarms obeyed the Ant Queen's arrangements, each performing its own duty and bringing their abilities to the fullest.

The Human King decisively gave the order and personally led the strongest members of his race to assassinate the Ant Queen!

To capture bandits, first capture their king. As long as the Ant Queen died, the Devouring Ants would surely fall into chaos.

The Human Race went all out in this battle. Even other powerful races came to assist, because the Devouring Ants were too terrifying!

They devoured all things, leaving other creatures no way to survive! This time, the Ant Queen had appeared on the surface to devour a Dragon. It was truly a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!

Boom!

A massive Behemoth wielded a wooden club to clear the way. Countless Soldier Ants surged toward them like an endless Black Tide. To protect the Ant Queen, the ant swarm had gone completely mad!

Whoosh!

The Human Race's strongest Griffin Knights burst through the encirclement. Every knight was fully armed, their heavy armor gleaming silver. They wore the Human Race's strongest and most advanced equipment.

They held three-meter-long lances. With a single thrust, they skewered more than a dozen Soldier Ants like barbecue meat. At the center of the Griffin Knights stood the current Human King, holding the Spear of Destiny!

His mount was actually the Griffin King!

The Human Race powerhouses charged into the heart of the enemy forces and could even vaguely see the Ant Queen devouring the Dragon!

The Ant Queen also sensed the threat of death. Not only did she accelerate her devouring, she commanded the entire race to do everything possible to stop the humans from charging in!

Soldier Ant after Soldier Ant launched suicidal charges. The outstanding Metal Ants even used their bodies as shields, all to delay the humans' advance.

Countless ant swarms poured in from all across the continent, reinforcements arriving without end. The Sky Ants in the air also flapped their wings madly, turning themselves into weapons and shooting into the Griffin Knights like bullets!

However, as the ant swarms went mad, other powerful races also noticed something was wrong. They frantically intercepted and killed the reinforcing ant swarms.

Though Metal Ants were impervious to blades and spears, the lances enhanced with Extraordinary Energy were incomparably sharp. Countless Metal Ants were pierced through, but the Human Race's strongest knights also began dying rapidly.

As long as one lost their balance and fell from their mount, the Soldier Ants on the ground would immediately surge over like seawater. Within a second, they would cover the knight, and not a single sound could be heard again.

Closer! Closer!

The Human King widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the enormous Ant Queen feeding ahead. After multiple evolutions, the Ant Queen now had a human face and an insect's body. Her massive abdomen was over eight meters long and more than four meters thick!

It was precisely because her body was so conspicuous that human scouts had discovered her.

The Human King fiercely kicked the Griffin King with both feet. The Griffin King understood his intent as well. With an angry roar, it ignored the iron wall formed by Metal Ants ahead, beat its wings fiercely, and began charging with a bang.

Countless Metal Ants were sent flying, and the Human King finally came face-to-face with the Ant Queen.

King against queen!

At that life-and-death moment, the Human King's right arm bulged with muscle, and his entire body arched like a great bow. He pushed the Human King Breathing Technique to its limit and violently hurled the Spear of Destiny!

Whoosh!

The Spear of Destiny Split Open the sky like lightning, forming a cone-shaped blast wave across the battlefield. At that moment, every powerhouse on the battlefield stopped.

Friend and foe alike watched that stunning throw.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion rang out. The Ant Queen howled in agony. Her body was too bloated for her to react in time, and her eight-meter abdomen was blasted into two pieces, dripping with blood.

The Spear of Destiny was already indestructible, and with the Human King pouring all his energy into it, this strike surpassed the Ant Queen's expectations.

Although she had devoured many kinds of hard ores and creatures, none of it provided any protection!

Just as the Human Race powerhouses rejoiced, the ant swarm unexpectedly went mad again. Centered around the Ant Queen, they crazily contracted inward and continuously attacked the Griffin flock.

The Human King's expression changed drastically. The Ant Queen, whose body had been split into two, was Actually still struggling. Her human face was filled with pain as she glared hatefully at the Human King in the air, then quickly rushed toward the nearest underground tunnel.

She did not even have time to devour what was likely the last Primitive Dragon, fleeing for her life instead.

Blood covered the ground beneath her, while countless powerful Metal Ants guarded Behind Her.

"Not good! The Ant Queen wants to escape underground! Brothers, follow me and charge once more!" the Human King roared. If they failed to kill the Ant Queen during this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, bringing endless future trouble!

The other knights also knew the urgency. They began charging madly, but after the Ant Queen was heavily injured, the remaining Sky Ants also went berserk. They did not treat themselves as lives at all and continuously launched suicidal attacks.

Countless corpses fell from the sky, dyeing the earth black.

The Human Race powerhouses had already suffered heavy casualties, and the Griffins were covered in wounds. In the end, Queen Bersha escaped back into the tunnel.

At the final moment before descending deep underground, Bersa looked hatefully at the Human King. "Humans, our war has only just begun!"

Afterward, Queen Bersha hid in her headquarters a thousand meters beneath the ground. The Human Race powerhouses would never again have the chance to carry out a decapitation strike. Just as the Ant Queen said, the war between these two overlord races had only just begun.

Jiang Ping watched the earth-shaking battle with great interest. "War is what best stimulates a race's potential. The Human Race has an enemy now. This war is destined not to end overnight. The world is vast, but it cannot accommodate two overlords!"

Thanks to Fellow Daoist Demon Soldier for the reward, and thanks to the other readers for their Recommendation Tickets. This little seedling urgently needs care; there are truly too few Recommendation Tickets.
