The battle ahead was unavoidable and known throughout the entire Primordial World, causing upheaval like an earthquake!
The powerful expeditionary fleet was annihilated, and the Ant King was as mighty as a god.
The Devouring Ants were notorious for their bloodlust and greed.
Wail
For a time, wails echoed from countless continents, all living beings wept, and the entire world was enveloped in heavy sorrow. Every moment, the Devouring Ants advanced.
Every day, news came of another continent being conquered by the Devouring Ants. Entire vast continents were left bleeding and desolate. The Devouring Ants accepted no surrender; they devoured everything.
All life on the continent was consumed, and then the Ant Queen would produce an endless stream of soldiers.
Where the Devouring Ants passed, no living creature survived. Their dark ant army blotted out the sun and sky, rapidly encroaching on land, leaving behind ever-expanding lifeless death deserts.
Jiang Ping watched clearly from the outside. In just three days, 50% of the continent had turned into a death desert, and even the ocean had been largely occupied by the Ant Tribe.
"Tsk, the Devouring Ants are too brutal. They've consumed so many resources, disrupting the world's entire self-circulation!"
Jiang Ping couldn't help but sigh.
Every world had its own self-circulating power, and the Devouring Ants' current actions were like pulling the rug out from under it. For the sake of reproduction and battle, they were destroying the world's potential—this was demonic!
"Eh?"
Jiang Ping's gaze shifted in surprise towards a continent on the verge of destruction.
"Great Creation God, you who created the world, who fashioned the sun and stars, now the cruel Devouring Ants are destroying all races. Your most devout follower implores you to descend with divine punishment and annihilate them!"
Before a colossal statue as white as jade, hundreds of thousands knelt. Their fingers were clasped tightly as they praised the Creation God, offering him their most sincere prayers.
On the outer perimeter of the crowd, tens of thousands of ferocious beasts also knelt, praising this Lord of All.
Miles away on the battlefield, the Devouring Ants were relentlessly attacking cities and conquering territories. Even the most elite defenders could not resist, only managing to delay them. Some soldiers, in their despair, even committed suicide!
Jiang Ping, observing from the outside, had a solemn expression. "The power of faith is truly profound; it can be received by me across two realms."
Facing imminent death, many fervent believers had prayed to him in a short period.
However, despite receiving the plea for help, Jiang Ping had no intention of destroying the Devouring Ants. All beings in the Primordial World were created by him. Dragons, humans, and Devouring Ants were all equal in his eyes; no race was nobler than another.
Even though he favored the Human Race, he hadn't directly intervened, only providing them with seeds.
The ultimate outcome was in their own hands. If, after receiving divine enlightenment, the Human Race was still annihilated, he wouldn't act.
As all races faced extinction, the Devouring Ants had also reached this point through their own stealthy development. Who knew the loneliness the Ant Queen endured for hundreds of thousands of years lurking in the dark depths?
Why should he intervene now and destroy the Devouring Ants' millions of years of accumulation?
All races were the same in his eyes! From the moment he first created the world, Jiang Ping had been prepared.
"Heaven's will is impartial; it treats all things as straw dogs."
This phrase suddenly echoed in Jiang Ping's mind. Were his current actions not identical to Heaven's will? Or perhaps, he was the Heaven's will of the Primordial World!
Ah!
Countless screams erupted from the continent. The Devouring Ants that had breached the city walls surged into the crowds, slaughtering countless beings before transporting them to the rear for the Ant Queen to devour!
"God, why do you not manifest? Are we not devout enough?"
A bishop, spitting blood, unwillingly stretched out his right hand to caress the divine statue. Behind him, a Soldier Ant coldly raised its scythe.
In less than half a day, not a trace of life remained on the continent. All creatures were slaughtered, even the vegetation was consumed by the Ant Queen. The precious minerals within the land were also excavated, and the world gained another death desert...
News of the continent's fall continued to pour in. In just a few days, the alliance leader Jingshan's hair had turned completely white. The only good news was that the Human Race's strongest expert, Gai Feng, upon hearing of the Devouring Ants' reappearance, immediately joined the alliance.
During these days, the most intelligent individuals from across the world were gathered. Leveraging the accumulated efforts of all races and the information left by Sea King Lu Fei, the disappearance location of the Spear of Destiny was being narrowed down.
"This is the last possible location! If it's not here either, then we'll have to deduce it from countless ancient texts again!" the Grand Scholar said dejectedly, gazing into the depths of the sea.
Jingshan wearily opened his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Salvage!"
This was their only hope! With the combined strength of all races, they could contend with the Devouring Ants, but the Ant King was too terrifying! His appearance had directly shattered the world's balance!
Others on the battleship also watched the sea surface in despair. With continents falling one after another, did they still have time to search for the Spear of Destiny?
"The divine artifact must be emerging!" a resolute voice broke the silence. Everyone looked to see a middle-aged man with a determined expression.
His aura was not strong, but it commanded everyone's respect, for he was the peerless expert who had been undefeated for fifty years, Gai Feng!
Soon, shipwrecks and relics from the deep sea were continuously salvaged. Although many rare treasures and even ancient relics were among them, no one felt any joy.
Suddenly, a dilapidated, leaky wooden box, riddled with holes, was brought up.
"It's so old and broken, whatever good stuff was inside must have rotted too," a warrior muttered.
Unexpectedly, Gai Feng lunged forward. He gently caressed the rotten wooden box with both hands, as if caressing his most beloved.
"Could it be?"
Everyone looked on with excitement. Gai Feng's heart also surged with emotion. Trembling, he reached out and opened the rotten wooden box.
The box was originally made of precious wood, but after millennia submerged in the deep sea, it had long since decayed. Gai Feng's right hand passed through the ashes and wood chips, finally touching the object within the box!
The moment his fingertips made contact, Gai Feng knew. This was the God-bestowed Treasure they had been searching for, and the Human Race's heirloom—the Spear of Destiny!
Gai Feng tightly gripped the spear and, with his right hand raised in excitement, held aloft the ash-covered spear. "The Human Race is saved! All races are saved! The world is saved!"
The peerless expert, who had faced countless life-and-death situations in his life, spoke with a trembling voice. Everyone on the ship held their breath, and the soldiers who were salvaging stopped in their tracks. Countless eyes stared blankly at the spear in Gai Feng's hand.
He wiped the ash from his left hand, and under the sunlight, its silver radiance appeared exceptionally dazzling, causing everyone to marvel at its beauty and sanctity.
Zheng!
A sharp ringing sound echoed through heaven and earth, piercing straight into the sky. It shook off all the ash covering the spear, as if it were declaring itself to the world!
It had remained uncorrupted for a million years, had spent tens of thousands of years in the depths of the sea, yet it bore no marks or scars, as if time had no effect on it.
"One meter eighty long, entirely silver, material unknown, indestructible, unbreakable! That's right, it's the legendary divine artifact, the Spear of Destiny!"
The Grand Scholar knelt on both knees, holding the spear aloft with trembling hands. This divine artifact, lost for ten thousand years, had finally appeared!
After careful verification by the scholars, everyone finally felt a great weight lifted from their hearts.
"The Human Race is finally saved! This King is definitely not the last emperor!" Jingshan raised his white-haired head, tears streaming from his eyes.
"The Spear of Destiny is imprinted with the spirits of many Human Kings. Only those who are recognized by it can receive the legacy of the nine generations of Human Kings!" Gai Feng suddenly spoke.
Everyone eagerly asked if he had received the artifact's recognition. Gai Feng couldn't help but smirk, but then he frowned, "It will take at least three days to fully integrate the Human King legacy!"
Everyone was shocked. The current battle situation was precarious, with countless continents being devoured. The Ant Queen was continuously producing elite Soldier Ants. Eighty percent of the world was already occupied by Devouring Ants. How could they possibly have three days?
Alliance Leader Jingshan waved his hand, "Contact the leaders of all the myriad races and the Grand Marshal on the front lines. Stop the Devouring Ants' advance at all costs! This King will personally go to the battlefield to oversee the operations!"
With that, he vigorously waved his imperial robe and left directly. Alliance Leader Jingshan's eyes were filled with unwavering resolve. The most terrifying thing was the complete lack of hope for victory. As long as there was a sliver of a chance, it could change the future.
This battle would determine the fate of the Human Race, the fate of the myriad races, and the fate of the world. Gai Feng even vaguely felt that the luck of the entire world was constantly flowing towards him, and his cultivation, which had been stagnant for fifty years, was beginning to loosen!
Moreover, the fact that they were able to find this long-lost divine artifact this time might also be the world's way of helping!
"Those who follow the Way are many, those who oppose it are few. The Ant King has isolated himself from heaven and earth, and he will never gain the world's favor," Gai Feng looked towards the distant battlefield.
Millions of kilometers away, in a dark palace, the Ant King suddenly opened his eyes and looked coldly towards the location of the Spear of Destiny.
"Interesting. Could it be that the Spear of Destiny has appeared?"
"A battle that will decide the world? How exciting."
Jiang Ping was sprawled on the sofa, lazily pouring a fizzy drink into his mouth.
"Should I adjust the time and save this battle for tomorrow? After all, this is the final showdown, the grand finale." This was Jiang Ping's most genuine thought.
Listen to this! How unbenevolent is the Heavenly Dao!
