"The king had led the Devouring Ants for a thousand years, swept across the eight directions and six harmonies, wielded two divine artifacts of creation, and became the first World King in history to rule the Primordial World!"
The Ant King's expression was incomparably solemn. "Today, the king shall lead the entire race in a grand sacrifice to worship the one and only Creator of this world! I humbly beg the deity to descend and answer the king's doubts!"
As the Ant King's words fell, the hundred billion Devouring Ants in the arena knelt simultaneously, worshipping the enormous Creation God Statue before them.
Ten thousand made an army, a million made a sea—but what did a hundred billion mean?
As far as the eye could see was a black ocean with no end in sight.
Even watching from the outside world, Jiang Ping marveled at the spectacular scene and the Devouring Ants' organizational ability. He could even vaguely sense a chaotic stream of Power of Faith arriving from the Nether.
"Only now that you've reached the end of the road, you think to come looking for me?" Jiang Ping chuckled.
"Ants must ultimately pay for what they've done."
When the Devouring Ants destroyed everything, they had never thought of leaving others a way to survive. Now that destruction was imminent, they wanted him to clean up their mess.
Come on, he was the Creation God. He had his pride too!
Jiang Ping haughtily refused, wanting to see what else the once-arrogant Ant King could do!
Within the Primordial World, the Ant King's grand sacrifice had already lasted half an hour. Yet the enormous, pristine white Creation God Statue showed not the slightest reaction.
"This is bad!" The Ant Queens on both sides looked at each other. In all the ancient records, the Creation God had never manifested because all living things offered sacrifices to him.
Other than the one time he left behind footprints, the only certain record among the Myriad Races was this.
After the Ice Ancient Era ended and all things revived, the Creation God scattered extraordinary seeds, setting the world upon the path of extraordinary evolution.
It was only to be expected that this unprecedented grand sacrifice would receive no response. The Ant Queens cautiously glanced at the Ant King presiding in the center.
The Ant King's face darkened. Although he had been prepared, receiving truly no response at all still dealt him a heavy blow.
With a wave of his hand, he said, "Proceed with the backup plan!"
"Yes!"
The Ant Queens' hearts skipped a beat as they began issuing orders once more. In the distance, the Ant Tribe Heroes led their clans into the next phase.
"Hehe, what other tricks do you have?"
Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Ping watched the Ant King at work with curiosity.
Boom!
With an earth-shaking loud noise, the pristine white Creation God Statue was actually pushed over. The instant it fell to the ground, countless cracks spread across its surface.
Hundreds of millions of Devouring Ants even spat upon the shattered statue, and some defiled it by relieving themselves on it!
Jiang Ping still wore a relaxed smile. "Reverence didn't work, so now you're resorting to coercion? But I still won't manifest!"
If he rushed out just because the statue had been toppled and insulted, wouldn't that be far too hasty? He still had this much patience. He wanted to see what other tricks the Ant King had.
Though they were descendants he had created, insulting their Creator was already the greatest act of rebellion.
The Ant King's shocking move caused the sky to turn gloomy. The already pitch-black heavens became even more terrifying above the Altar of the God Sacrifice.
A massive dark cloud rapidly gathered. For insulting the Creator, Heaven sent down calamity!
Thunderbolts ten thousand zhang high could strike at any moment!
The hundreds of millions of Devouring Ants below were horrified, deeply sensing the destructive power brewing within the cloud. If the lightning tribulation descended, perhaps not even one in ten of the Devouring Ants would survive!
The Ant King cast a fierce glance overhead, took a step back, and assumed a throwing stance. His demonic power surged to its peak as the muscles in his right arm bulged.
Whoosh!
The black Spear of Destiny transformed into a dark meteor and streaked across the heavens. A sonic boom erupted in an instant, and a massive sonic cloud appeared above the altar!
Before the Ant Queens' stunned eyes, the enormous thing overhead was suddenly pierced through by a huge hole. The force of the hole continued spreading, and in the Blink of an Eye, the gigantic dark cloud was blasted apart.
The destructive aura in the arena suddenly vanished. The ants' hearts lightened. Whoosh—a black line appeared in the sky, and with a beckoning gesture from the Ant King, the Spear of Destiny returned automatically to his hand.
"Long live our king!"
Deafening cheers instantly erupted from the altar.
"Since the gods will not manifest, then as the World King, today I shall become a god!" The Ant King declared domineeringly, raising the Spear of Destiny high.
"The Creation God is nothing more than a coward! Today, the king shall crown himself the King of All Gods!
"The world itself shall grovel Beneath My Feet! One day, I shall surely conquer the divine realm!"
The instant those words were spoken, the world froze. The currents of air seemed to have stalled as hundreds of millions of Ant Race members gazed at the Ant King in the center with fanatical worship.
"God King! God King!"
The cries shook the heavens. They abandoned their own Creator and worshipped the Ant King as their supreme deity!
The Ant King closed his eyes and sensed the invisible Power of Faith constantly flowing in from all around.
After a long while, there was a bang, and the Ant King's aura surged once again. At his brow, a cluster of golden flames slowly emerged.
It absorbed the omnipresent Power of Faith, as well as the fortune of the entire Primordial World!
The Ant King knew that he had gambled correctly.
The Ant Queens stared blankly at the Ant King. He had broken through his limits once more. Before, he had merely been unfathomable; now, his strength was simply beyond estimation, inspiring reverence like a god.
The Ant King gave an arrogant smile and reached out to grasp at thin air. An explosive crack rang out, and strands of Void Cracks emerged. Though the world swiftly repaired them on its own, they had truly appeared!
"God King, what is this?"
The Ant Queen asked nervously, her heart pounding.
"From now on, the world will no longer be able to restrain our race, and the World Barrier will no longer be able to trap me!" The Ant King threw back his head and laughed.
Another earth-shaking cheer swept through the arena. Black rain began falling from the dark sky, as though even the world were weeping for this rebellious child.
At that moment, the Ant King was in high spirits. He possessed two divine artifacts, had ignited the divine fire, had begun touching upon the power of laws, and had gathered the Primordial World's fortune As One.
Just then, a gigantic Eye of the Heavens suddenly appeared in the sky!
The thunderous cheers came to an abrupt halt as the Devouring Ants stared blankly upward.
The Ant King tightly gripped the Spear of Destiny and solemnly Looked Towards the Eye of the Heavens in the sky.
"Creation God?"
That was right. This eye was Jiang Ping's projection, and at this moment, the Ant King stood at the pinnacle of his life.
He had gathered the entire race and the world's fortune upon himself, ignited the divine fire, and carved out a path that had never existed before.
Combined with his repeated provocations, Jiang Ping felt that the time had come for him to manifest.
Sometimes, unless they received a brutal lesson from society, they would never know why flowers were so red!
The Eye of the Heavens was unfathomably deep, chaos all around within its pupil. Vast stars occasionally swept past. Every Devouring Ant upon the altar trembled constantly, feeling immense pressure.
This was the Creator who had created everything!
The world and all living things had been created by him, yet they had just desecrated the Creation God!
The Ant King's expression was grave. He suddenly swung the Spear of Destiny, its tip pointing straight toward Heaven.
"So what if you are the Creation God? Today, I have ignited the divine fire, ascended to the throne of the God King, and taken command of the world. I can already stand as your equal!"
"That's right! The God King is enough to contend with you. He is the Lord of the World!" the Ant Queens on either side shouted fiercely.
The Ant King's strength gave them immense courage. He was the strongest legend, one who created miracles.
"The Creation God has retreated. Now, the God King rules the world!"
"King! King!"
The hundred billion Devouring Ants fell into madness, shouting the Ant King's true name and praising his greatness. For a time, even the fear the Eye of the Heavens had instilled in them vanished.
Heaven, when it wished to destroy someone, first drove them mad.
A dark depth filled Jiang Ping's eyes as he calmly looked at the majestic Ant King and asked.
"Do you truly intend to challenge me?"
