As the Geocentric Base continued to expand during this period, Evolution Points also increased rapidly.
May 11, 2017
Current Evolution Points: 1 Trillion
As the Evolution Points once again broke through a trillion, Zhou Qi's inner excitement was like a volcano about to erupt; he could no longer suppress it.
What he had been yearning for was this moment: to once again strengthen the Twelfth-Order Army Ant Queen, allowing the core strength of the Bug Clan to achieve a qualitative leap.
Zhou Qi hurried to the huge plaza in the Geocentric Base, which was specially built for the Army Ant Queen.
At this moment, the Twelfth-Order Army Ant Queen was quietly coiled in the center of the plaza, her massive body like a small mountain, exuding a powerful biological aura. Surrounding Bug Clan Family members, like loyal guards, moved busily and orderly through the area.
Zhou Qi stood before the Army Ant Queen, his eyes full of anticipation, and unhesitatingly activated the Evolution Space. A large amount of Evolution Points poured into the Army Ant Queen's body like a surging torrent.
“Ding, consuming 1,000 billion Evolution Points, the Army Ant Queen has been strengthened into a Thirteenth-Order Army Ant Queen. Congratulations, Host, the Thirteenth-Order Army Ant Queen has received an overall enhancement of all attributes.”
As soon as the prompt sounded, the light of evolution instantly bloomed, enveloping the Army Ant Queen like a brilliant nebula.
Within the light, the Army Ant Queen's body rapidly expanded. Already a giant, it doubled in size again, becoming as magnificent as a mythical beast from an epic.
Her body length surged to four hundred meters, and her width expanded to nearly one hundred meters. When she stood up, she resembled a towering peak, exuding a chilling pressure.
On her hard, dark black exoskeleton, mysterious runes flickered more frequently, with mysterious energy flowing between them, adding endless mystery and a powerful aura.
The crown-like Spiked Horns on her head grew thicker and sprouted more branches, each flashing with a cold glint, as if proclaiming her supreme dominion to the world.
Her six pairs of legs were now as thick as giant stone pillars, and with every step, the entire Geocentric Base trembled, leaving huge and deep footprints on the ground, as if they were imprints of her power.
The wings on her back were wider and tougher, spreading hundreds of meters wide. The patterns on her wings resembled a mysterious map, seemingly hiding the secret to powerful strength.
After being strengthened, the Thirteenth-Order Army Ant Queen's life intensity advanced by leaps and bounds, directly soaring to 65 points, entering the realm of a mature super life form.
This meant that the Army Ant Queen's strength had jumped beyond the Flying Thunder Centipede, becoming Zhou Qi's strongest Family member at present, a world apart from before. In the entire Geocentric World and even broader Domains, she would become a terrifying and unignorable force.
Not only that, but the number of Family members she could reproduce daily also doubled.
The newly advanced Thirteenth-Order Army Ant Queen eagerly displayed her reproduction information to Zhou Qi: she could reproduce 2.56 million Ninth-Order Army Ants, 25,600 Ninth-Order Four Fiend Bug Soldiers, 25,600 Ninth-Order He Bo Insects, 12,800 Ninth-Order Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs, 1,280 Ninth-Order Crimson Ape Demon Insects, 16 Ninth-Order Mingling Demons, and 25,600 Ninth-Order Mind Control Demon Bug daily.
Looking at these continuously increasing numbers, Zhou Qi's heart was filled with joy. This meant that the Bug Clan's strength would be greatly enhanced in a short period.
Zhou Qi knew that this strengthening of the Army Ant Queen was just a new beginning.
He immediately conveyed the command to the Army Ant Queen through their mental connection to fully reproduce Family members.
Under the effects of the Super Body Reproduction and Rapid Growth talents, giant bug eggs rapidly formed around the Army Ant Queen.
These bug eggs shimmered with mysterious light, containing powerful life energy, as if hope was about to emerge from its cocoon.
Time passed minute by minute, and the bug eggs cracked open, with Ninth-Order Bug Clan Family members breaking out of their shells one by one.
The Ninth-Order Four Fiend Bug Soldier was larger than its eighth-order counterpart, resembling an adult gray wolf. Its entire body exuded a dense, almost materialized black Evil Qi. Its four pairs of segmented limbs were thick and powerful, glinting with a cold metallic luster, each limb seemingly containing the power to tear anything apart.
Their compound eyes glowed blood-red, revealing strong aggression and a desire for battle. That light seemed to be able to see through the enemy's fear, giving opponents immense psychological pressure.
Their initial life intensity upon reproduction reached 20 points.
As soon as these Ninth-Order Four Fiend Bug Soldiers were born, they instinctively let out low, intimidating roars, their voices echoing through the base.
The Ninth-Order Spiked Horned Tyrant Bug's life intensity also increased, reaching 23 points, and its body was as huge as a yak, with bulging muscles, full of awe-inspiring power.
Their Spiked Horns became even larger and sharper, like giant spears, glinting coldly in the sunlight. Each swing could easily send enemies flying and even shatter hard rocks.
Their carapace also became thicker, with patterns resembling mysterious runes, which not only enhanced their defense but also seemed to contain a special energy that could play unexpected roles in battle.
The Ninth-Order Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs moved with heavy, powerful steps, the ground trembling slightly beneath them, each step demonstrating their immense strength.
The Ninth-Order Crimson Ape Demon Insects now had a life intensity of 29 points, exhibiting powerful dominance in the air. Their bodies reached nearly 1.8 meters in length, with wings spanning three meters. The veins on their wings resembled mysterious circuits, glowing with an eerie light.
They held sharp spears over two meters long, which were precisely the terrifying mouthparts they had previously possessed.
The Ninth-Order Mingling Demon became even more agile, possessing greater intelligence than ordinary sentient races, and their life intensity reached as high as 41 points, making them a crucial force on the battlefield.
Their figures were nimble and their movements agile. In battle, they could calmly analyze the situation and skillfully utilize their advantages and the surrounding environment to deliver fatal blows to enemies.
As these high-order Bug Clan Family members continued to be born, Zhou Qi began to re-plan the layout of the Geocentric Base.
He assigned the Ninth-Order Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs the task of expanding the base's scope and digging more caves and passages.
The Ninth-Order Army Ants, like tireless sappers, used their strong jaws and powerful legs to rapidly excavate the hard rock, and the underground passages continuously extended through their efforts.
The newly reproduced Ninth-Order He Bo Insects were sent to explore the Mud Swamp Frogmen Tribe, which occupied one-quarter of the Geocentric Base's area.
They were located within an incredibly vast lake. No one could have imagined that within the Earth's Core of Blue Star, there existed an underground lake comparable to an ocean.
They were the only Family members under Zhou Qi who had not been exposed in the lower Geocentric World, specifically used to find new resources, explore potential dangers, and spy on the Mud Swamp Frogmen Tribe.
As soon as the Ninth-Order He Bo Insects were born, they were dispatched to the ocean-like underground lake in the north. They swam agilely in the water, utilizing their water control abilities to explore every corner, not missing any potentially valuable place.
