A Footprint Causes a Bloody Case

The kings of all races, each with their own thoughts, came to pressure the palace. Led personally by the Human King, they passed through numerous guarded checkpoints, and finally, the kings of all races saw the sacred relic left by the legendary Creation God.

It was merely a fossilized Four-Leaf Clover, the only difference being the footprints upon it.

The leaders of all races milled around for hours, but found nothing profound.

"This is the sacred relic left by the Creation God millions of years ago?" the Sky Tiger King asked the fossil in confusion. "I thought it was just a footprint."

He even suspected the Human King had fooled him. Where were the divine artifacts rumored before? The cultivation methods containing the world's truths? The invincible magical beasts?

"Foolish!" The Wyvern King berated upon hearing the Sky Tiger King's words. He was the king who commanded the Wyvern tribe of the sky. Apart from a few types of God-created creatures, they were the overlords of the sky. Even the Human King treated this tribe with courtesy and dared not slight them.

"This was left by the Creation God; it must contain mysteries we cannot comprehend." The Wyvern King looked at the fossil with adoration.

"According to historical records, the Creation God only appeared in the world clearly once, at the beginning of this era. When the Creation God descended, all beasts paid homage, and the world celebrated, with colorful auspicious clouds filling the sky."

The Wyvern King glanced at the Human King. "Your Human Race's first-generation Human King, Meng De, received divine enlightenment and was only suspected to be the Creation God. Even so, it made your Human Race the strongest race in the world."

He spread his hands as if to lift the sacred relic. "This fossil contains the aura of millions of years ago. It is certain that countless ages ago, an era catastrophe descended, all was silent, and the Creation God personally visited the world to survey the land."

Jiang Ping outside was a little depressed.

"I just accidentally stepped on a Four-Leaf Clover the other day, how did it become so amazing in your mouths? This is just a stone!"

Regardless of Jiang Ping's complaints, in the eyes of all races in the Primordial World, this footprint fossil was undoubtedly a divine object. Even without a trace of energy, simply by bearing the footprint of the Creation God, it was one of the most renowned sacred relics in the world!

The kings of all races respectfully bowed to the fossil, like the most devout believers. As the leaders of each race departed, the Human Race's possession of the Creation God's sacred relic was confirmed.

The earth trembled, and countless intelligent beings wanted to go on a pilgrimage. The Human Race's strong individuals promptly intervened, barely stopping them.

All races envied the Human Race's long-lasting fortune. Not only did they obtain three great divine treasures, but they had now obtained a sacred relic again, truly making others envious.

Soon, this news reached the Devouring Ants. Deep underground, ten thousand meters down, in a complex nest spanning a thousand meters, the Ant Queen, dragging her swollen abdomen, issued an order.

"My children, how can the sacred relic of the Creation God be controlled by the weak Human Race? If they obtain divine power, my tribe will fall into eternal damnation."

Below, the ant heroes of various shapes and forms were filled with righteous indignation. They vaguely knew what the Ant Queen intended. Devouring Ants were naturally bloodthirsty, and they could no longer hold back!

"After decades of recuperation, our strength has reached a new level. I order a full-scale attack. Each of you will lead an army and attack from the four cardinal directions of the earth!"

Queen Bersha continued with murderous intent, "This time, it's either success or death. It's either them or us. There is no need for two overlords in this world!"

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

The ant heroes roared. The billions of Soldier Ants in the city, as if infected, also let out earth-shattering roars. For a moment, even the blue moss underground rapidly withered, and the killing intent reached the heavens!

The entire tribe knew the Ant Queen's resolve this time. The sacred relic was merely an opportunity, precisely breaking the fragile peace between the two races.

Tens of billions of black, oil-like Soldier Ants emerged from the Death Desert. Moreover, ant heroes personally led elite troops, attacking from the rear of the All-Races Alliance.

The All-Races Alliance was caught completely off guard! Although the Death Desert had been monitored for years, it had been decades since the last great war. No one expected the Devouring Ants to reappear in the world!

"Today, there are no enemies or opponents here. We all have a common goal: to drive out the Devouring Ants and restore peace to the world!" The Ninth Generation Human King Qi swore before the All-Races Alliance.

Below him were Dragon subspecies, Wyverns, Sea Dragons, and Wyverns. Even Behemoths came to help, and even the reclusive Chimera beasts came to assist.

In the distant sky, thousands of immortal Elves flew, while Pegasus Knights and Griffin Knights also flew and patrolled on both sides.

"The Devouring Ants are inhumane. Where they pass, there is no trace of life. They are the common enemy of all things in the world and will be rejected by the world. This is a righteous war!" The Human King raised the Spear of Destiny and roared at the sky!

The earth-shattering war finally erupted. Although the All-Races Alliance suffered a great loss due to the surprise attack, because the Devouring Ants were too overbearing, all other races came to the aid of humanity.

Boom!

The Human Race's most powerful developed Divine Dragon Cannon shocked the world. With one shot, it easily shattered Metal Ants. Even several ant heroes were surrounded by countless shells, ultimately perishing in a sea of fire.

The flamethrowers fueled by black oil were even more effective killers of ant swarms. Once stained, even jumping into the sea was useless. The Human Race had not been idle for all these years!

They had developed too rapidly in these decades. Countless alchemical weapons had been invented by the Human Race. Tens of thousands of Divine Dragon Cannons were pulled from warehouses, continuously roaring at the ant army.

And in the alchemy workshops behind them, production was still ongoing. Human women and children worked overtime day and night. In the face of extinction, no one was spared. Those who could not fight on the battlefield provided support from the rear!

There was also an army of 100,000 people armed with firearms, continuously shooting at the Metal Ants. These firearms, similar to modern flintlock guns, shone brightly, timely curbing the countless arrogant ant swarms.

The ancient myriad races were amazed. The Human Race was indeed the foremost race in the world, with such terrifying foundations. The roar of the Divine Dragon Cannon made even extraordinary magical beasts fearful. If the cannons were aimed at them, they would likely not escape death under saturation bombardment!

However, even with the support of 100,000 cannons, they could only barely hold back the ant offensive, as the ant's insect swarm tactics were too terrifying!

Tens of billions of Soldier Ants attacked, as if destroying everything. The cannons were almost melting, and the ant swarms in front were still charging!

And among them were hidden a small number of Metal Ants, even ant heroes. Once these elite troops got close, the defensive perimeter would inevitably be breached.

The sky determined the outcome of the war. Over the years, the Ant Queen had vigorously developed Sky Ants, with various enhanced Sky Ants emerging continuously, even evolving several hero-level Sky Ants.

The Ant Queen had intended to rely on this surprise force to secure victory, but unexpectedly, the Human Race's powerhouses had also hidden their strength. The Human King assembled an aerial squadron, some riding Pegasi, some Griffins, and others Wyverns.

And using the massive bodies of the magical beasts, even cannons were mounted on them, continuously firing at the Sky Ants. The explosions were deafening, and countless Sky Ants fell like raindrops, dyeing the ground black.

There was also a bombing squad, carrying alchemical bombs, constantly dropping them below. For a time, the ant swarms were crying and screaming, and even ant heroes could only desperately flee.

In just a few days since the war began, the death toll had reached tens of millions! The Devouring Ants accounted for the vast majority. The world changed color due to such slaughter. The earth was dyed red, with millions of corpses, rivers of blood, the sky filled with blood-red hues, and even the great sun seemed to turn scorching!

When the heavens show killing intent, stars shift their positions! When the earth shows killing intent, dragons and snakes rise from the ground! When man shows killing intent, the heavens and earth are overturned!

This era had officially entered its twilight years. The era catastrophe had arrived!

Jiang Ping felt the continuous influx of biological energy and sighed deeply:

"So satisfying!"

He couldn't help but let out a burp.

"I never would have imagined that the origin of this slaughtering catastrophe would be my footprints from two days ago. How unpredictable are the ways of the world, a bloodbath triggered by a single footprint!"

Jiang Ping couldn't help but lament. He himself hadn't foreseen such a development, much like how the spark for the First World War on Earth was the assassination of an Archduke and his wife.
