The Primordial World had gone mad!

The gravely wounded queen ant fled underground. Later, to retaliate against the Human Race, she ordered the entire ant race to attack. Countless black Soldier Ants swept across the world, their traces found across sea, land, and sky.

Even the God-created creatures lurking in the ocean depths—the Evil God Octopus—were discovered and hunted by Devouring Ants. After the queen ant devoured the Evil God Octopus, her Mental Power surged, and even her injuries healed faster.

The Evil God Octopus had dominated the seas for centuries, but disaster had finally struck. It was devoured by countless water ants. No matter how powerful it was, it was useless against an ant swarm as vast as the sea!

At this critical moment, the Evil God Octopus's mortal enemy, the third-generation ocean overlord, the Dragon King Beast, came to its aid. If the lips were gone, the teeth would be cold. The Devouring Ants were truly the common enemy of the Myriad Races!

With the Dragon King Beast's help, the Evil God Octopus finally avoided extinction. However, the queen ant had fully recovered by then and evolved once more. Her head grew larger, and her Mental Power far surpassed that of other creatures.

The Human Race, which bore the brunt of the attack, suffered devastating casualties. The previous Human King was severely wounded while intercepting the queen ant and died of illness not long after returning to his tribe.

Before his death, he solemnly handed the Spear of Destiny to the next Human King and instructed him, "Recover the Tablet of Truth, enlighten the people, unite wisdom and martial strength. Join forces with the Myriad Races and wipe out the ant race!"

The new Human King accepted the mantle in a time of crisis. Raising the Spear of Destiny through tears, he declared, "May the Human Race endure forever! The only ambition of my life is to exterminate the ant race!"

The fifth Human King devoted himself to governance. Not only did he unite his people and establish a more efficient administrative system, but he also continuously allied with other Supernatural Demonic Beasts, forming an encirclement around the Devouring Ants.

The fifth Human King spent his entire life battling the ant race. Human civilization developed rapidly, with all kinds of equipment and alloys forged. The Human King united the Myriad Races, allowing the Human Race to produce powerful experts of every profession: Pegasus Knights, Griffin Knights, and Dragon Knights of subspecies dragons!

Not only that, he had human sages jointly develop all kinds of combat techniques and breathing methods, causing the strength of the Myriad Races to be Greatly enhanced.

In his later years, the Human King personally led his army three thousand meters underground. The ant race desperately counterattacked. It was said that the blood shed by both camps filled the underground, leaving a million corpses behind, with Blood Flowing Like a Raft.

Even the ant race's main stronghold was breached by the Human King. However, this was a city the ant race had operated for a thousand years, and in the end, the Human King still failed.

The fifth Human King lived only one lifetime. Even Longevity Potions could not heal the battle wounds he had accumulated over the years. He had no descendants and devoted all his energy to the Human Race.

The sixth Human King ascended the throne. Queen Bersha reflected on the lessons of nearly being killed twice. She discovered that while the swarm tactic was satisfying—burying any powerful enemy beneath an ant swarm—it could not hold off for long against a spearhead team composed of hundreds of top experts.

The queen ant began deliberately researching the elite-soldier approach. She devoured everything, fusing various metals and demonic beast genes together, and eventually gave birth to Ant Tribe Heroes!

Every Ant Tribe Hero was different. Some possessed boundless strength, while others could launch mental attacks. Each had their own miraculous abilities, and every one of them could rival the Griffin King!

Most importantly, they possessed Self-Awareness and could each command an ant swarm army, greatly reducing the queen ant's burden.

The most terrifying thing about the Ant Tribe Heroes was not their individual combat power. After all, even if the queen ant exhausted her reserves, she could only produce a little over a hundred of these elites. Their most terrifying trait was their command ability. Ant swarms led by Heroes were ten times more frightening than before!

The Myriad Races on the surface discovered in horror that the ant swarms, which had once seemed brainless, had grown smarter!

They learned tactics: encirclement, flanking, luring enemies deep in, and letting them go to catch them later. The Myriad Races Alliance led by the Human Race retreated again and again as the black ant swarms devoured everything.

Thirty percent of the surface had become the Death Desert, devoid of even the slightest trace of life. Seventy percent of the territory had been occupied by the Devouring Ants, and even the Myriad Races Alliance could only huddle around the central Divine Tree.

Jiang Ping bared his teeth as he watched from outside. The Devouring Ants were truly Worthy of being specifically named in the Creation Diary. One race against the Myriad Races—and the Myriad Races even included the Human Race he had personally supported—yet the ant swarm still held every advantage.

"With so much territory occupied by the Devouring Ants, once time passes and the queen ant exhausts the resources of those lands, she'll raise another massive army. By then, the Myriad Races really won't have even a shred of Power to Counterattack." Jiang Ping silently calculated, then looked toward the vast gray Death Desert.

"Tsk tsk, the Devouring Ants are too ruthless. They strip three feet of earth wherever they pass." Jiang Ping could even faintly sense that the world's origin had suffered enormous damage.

The Devouring Ants knew only how to take, never how to give back. Their impact on the world was far too great. "So, can you complete the task of saving the world?" Jiang Ping smiled as he looked at the graceful figure below.

The sixth Human King was unexpectedly a woman. "I may be the worst Human King of them all." Late at night, the sixth Human King leaned against Sacred Tree Lahil and wept.

Most of the outside world had already been occupied by the Devouring Ants. The Myriad Races following her could only retreat toward the center. If this continued, once the queen ant exhausted the resources of the occupied lands, destruction would be the only thing waiting for them!

Ever since receiving the Spear of Destiny, she had never slept for more than four hours. Most of her time had been spent fighting, yet now the entire world was in peril.

She was the Human King. She could not reveal even a hint of weakness or exhaustion before the outside world, so she could only shed tears in secret at night.

"Sacred Tree Lahil, you are our mother and the first life in this world. You were personally planted by the Creation God and are incomparably noble. The Devouring Ants devour everything and leave no way for other living beings to survive. Can you tell me how to save the Human Race? How to save all living beings? How to save the world?" The Human King gently stroked the Sacred Tree, her clear eyes staring blankly at it.

Under the night sky, starlight shimmered through the gaps between the branches. A tender branch lightly brushed across the Human King's face, as though wiping away her tears.

"Are you willing to never be reincarnated for all eternity in order to save the Human Race and the world? Your soul will be able to lose itself only in endless battle."

A gentle voice suddenly appeared in the Human King's mind. Her eyes widened, and she answered without hesitation, "I am willing! I would rather lose myself in endless battle and become a machine that knows only slaughter than watch my people be destroyed!"

"Good!" Lahil replied. "The Devouring Ants devour everything. In the end, even I will not be spared. Then sign a contract with me and become an immortal, indestructible warrior from this day onward!"

Jiang Ping froze. He had thought the Devouring Ants were destined to exterminate the Myriad Races this time, but Sacred Tree Lahil had unexpectedly Also began to join the battle!

Watching the female king sign a contract with the Sacred Tree, Jiang Ping sighed. "Isn't this the prototype of elves? Lahil really is evolving toward becoming the World Tree!"

Sure enough, only war could promote growth most quickly. Lahil had lazed around for so long before, but under the pressure of the Devouring Ants, it had thought of signing contracts with the Human Race and fusing human souls into its origin, turning them into immortal, indestructible eternal warriors.

That night, the sixth Human King died, and the Elf King Niya Appeared. At the same time, other female human warriors also signed contracts with the Sacred Tree one after another.

The elven race had Appeared. They were immortal and indestructible, their souls bound to the Sacred Tree's origin. Their bodies could communicate with the Sacred Tree and contained endless energy. Every elf could battle a giant dragon.

The Myriad Races Alliance launched its counterattack!

The Ant Tribe Heroes were driven dizzy by the newborn elves. These strange creatures possessed extraordinary combat power. Even when countless Soldier Ants were sacrificed to kill them, they would turn to ashes without leaving behind even a trace of a body, as though they were ethereal spirits.

Then, not long afterward, they Came alive again from the rear and continued fighting them!

As long as the Sacred Tree did not fall and its energy supply remained sufficient, the elves could revive endlessly!

It sounded invincible, but in truth, each death caused the elves' souls to be assimilated more deeply by the Sacred Tree. In the end, they would completely merge into the Sacred Tree's origin and lose all Self-Awareness.

When they revived after that, what Appeared would only be "copies" possessing their memories. This ending had been determined from the moment they signed the contract.

Amid the constant battles, the other ancient Myriad Races began following the Human Race's example, researching How to sign contracts with Sacred Tree Lahil. The Human Race was uniquely blessed, while it was far harder for other supernatural races to sign contracts. Yet as long as their numbers were large enough, a few would always succeed!

After countless lives were sacrificed, a small number of demonic beasts finally signed contracts with the Sacred Tree. Not only could they transform into human form, but they could also instantly return to their Tyrant's Way Main Bodies.

Jiang Ping sighed. "The Druids have Appeared."

With the appearance of the elves and Druids, the ant race also began retreating again and again. After paying a tremendous price in casualties, they finally figured out the origins of these two fantasy races, but by then they had already retreated back into the Death Desert.

The Devouring Ants and the Myriad Races Alliance faced one another across the world, which they had divided between them.

Nine thousand meters underground, a roar echoed through the depths. "Damn Lahil! Even you are stopping me from ruling the world! One day, I will storm the center of the world and cut down the Sacred Tree!" Queen Bersha was Greatly angered.

She had been only one step away from ruling the world, yet the Sacred Tree had ruined everything at the very end!
