Currently, these organizations around the globe are managed by Parasites, who are responsible for coordinating all aspects of breeding, acquisition, processing, and sales, ensuring the efficient operation of the Bug-Breeding Empire.
More importantly, it is the collection of Evolution Points.
At this moment, the 12th-level Evolution Space’s harvestable radius has reached 20 kilometers, but in the grand scheme of global bug-breeding bases, it is merely a drop in the bucket.
To ensure the unrestricted development of the Bug-Breeding Empire and the continuous flow of Evolution Points like living water, he decided to re-integrate the existing evolution origin points and initiate a strategic layout concerning the rise and fall of his power.
The first evolution origin point was placed at the White Snake Mountain Insect Farm.
The second evolution origin point was placed at the White Snake Mountain Underground Base.
The third evolution origin point was placed at the Earth's Core Base, with the Ant Queen.
The fourth evolution origin point was controlled by Moga Luo.
The fifth evolution origin point was controlled by Wang Yufei.
The sixth evolution origin point was controlled by Kui Luo, the Yi Serpent Person elder after being parasitized, currently at the Alien Serpent Alliance.
The seventh evolution origin point was placed at the management center of the Everlasting Empire.
The eighth evolution origin point was placed at the management center of Tianzhu.
The ninth evolution origin point was placed at the management center of Black Continent (the placement of these evolution origin points does not need to be detailed, just described in this manner).
The remaining three were kept as spares.
Subsequently, Zhou Qi swiftly divided the cleanup teams for the three major continents; these teams were all composed of Parasites.
They were based at the management centers of the Everlasting Empire, Tianzhu, and Kenya, respectively, and with the power of the seventh, eighth, and ninth evolution origin points, they commenced intensive Evolution Points harvesting across their respective continents.
In Europe, the head of the cleanup team was George, a financial magnate who dominated the financial world.
He was responsible for coordinating the team as they traversed various bug-breeding bases, using the miraculous energy of the seventh evolution origin point to harvest newly established insect breeding bases in the area.
The cleanup team in Asia, led by Amir, a high-caste nobleman from Tianzhu, delved deep into Tianzhu and Southeast Asia, overseeing the bug-breeding bases for most of Asia.
The cleanup team in Black Continent was led by Kuma, a warlord from Kenya, who used money, food, and water as incentives to vigorously develop the local residents.

Everything was developing in a positive direction, and the entire Blue Star was slowly transforming into Zhou Qi’s domain.
Meanwhile, as Zhou Qi’s influence expanded globally and the Bug-Breeding Empire’s territory continued to grow, the Parasites’ infiltration into the upper echelons of Beautiful Country was also quietly accelerating.
As the scope of parasitism gradually deepened, a high-ranking Beautiful Country official with intricate ties to the Freemasons was successfully parasitized.
Through him, Zhou Qi finally unveiled the deeply hidden mystery of the Freemasons.
It turned out that this organization, which secretly controlled everything, had long since deeply embedded its tentacles into Beautiful Country’s economic lifeline, transforming itself into the behind-the-scenes behemoth controlling the financial market.
They used various complex and clandestine financial methods to manipulate the ups and downs of markets like stocks and futures, silently plundering the wealth of countless people.
The hard-earned savings of ordinary citizens, under their manipulative operations, continuously flowed into the Freemasons’ coffers, providing substantial financial support for their illicit and insane plans.
And the Freemasons’ lair was hidden deep within a mountain range in California.
From the outside, this mountain range was indistinguishable from the surrounding mountains, quiet and ordinary.
But inside, it had long been hollowed out and transformed into a secret base of unimaginable scale.
This base was constructed to nuclear bomb-proof standards, making its robustness astonishing.
Thick reinforced concrete walls, combined with various advanced protective weapon systems, were sufficient to withstand any conventional weapon attack.
For many years, the slow population growth in Beautiful Country had been an unsolved mystery, and now Zhou Qi learned that the culprit behind this was precisely the Freemasons.
Immigrants from around the world, as well as individuals whose blood matched their experimental subjects, were secretly arrested and brought to this base, becoming victims of inhumane experiments.
Within the Experimental Zone of the base, various advanced yet eerie and terrifying experimental devices were laid out.
Countless innocent people were tied to operating tables, enduring inhuman torture.
Scientists conducted various insane genetic modification experiments on them, attempting to create “superhumans” with extraordinary abilities, or researching how to use mysterious power to enhance the human body.
Upon learning this news, Zhou Qi felt a strong urge to capture these individuals; if that Ning Gen was indeed created by the Freemasons, then their biotechnology must have developed to an extremely powerful level.
For such an evil organization, if left unchecked, it might indeed research and create a biological weapon that could bring destruction to the entire world; it would be better to keep them under his control.
However, Zhou Qi also understood that for the Freemasons to have hidden within the power core of Beautiful Country for so long, they must possess strict defenses and formidable strength; acting rashly would only alert them.
Therefore, Zhou Qi immediately summoned Uka, You Long, Moga Luo, and other core Bug Clan Family members to an emergency meeting in the power supply area of the Earth's Core Base’s logistics section.
The interior of the massive palace resembled a small grotto, and the atmosphere was as heavy as the calm before a storm.
Water droplets from the stalactites fell, making crisp sounds in the silent environment, which only intensified the tense atmosphere.
“I am very interested in the Freemasons’ biotechnology and intend to incorporate them into our own territory.
Everyone, tell me, how should we proceed?” Zhou Qi’s gaze was sharp, as he sternly scanned everyone.
Uka pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “Master, we cannot attack blindly.
We can first dispatch a reconnaissance team, using their special abilities to ascertain the base’s internal structure and defensive layout, and then formulate a detailed attack plan.
With the capabilities of our Bug Clan Family, as long as we can find a weakness, we will certainly be able to deliver a heavy blow to them.”
As Uka spoke, he gestured on the ground with his massive claws, trying to illustrate his idea more vividly.
You Long nodded slightly and added, “Master, I suggest sending Bug Clan Family members with stealth abilities to lead the charge, such as Ninth-Order Mingling Demons.
They are agile and possess powerful stealth talents, allowing them to infiltrate the base silently to gather intelligence for us, and also to launch surprise attacks at critical moments to disrupt the enemy’s deployment.”
You Long’s eyes revealed determination and confidence; she was full of conviction in her suggestion.
Moga Luo also spoke, saying, “Master, our Lizardmen can disguise themselves as humans; why not directly disguise ourselves as members of this organization and infiltrate them?” Moga Luo’s face showed a loyal expression; he longed to contribute his strength to Zhou Qi’s plan.
After listening, Zhou Qi expressed his agreement with everyone’s suggestions.
After a detailed discussion, they finally formulated a meticulous combat plan.
A reconnaissance team composed of Lizardmen with disguise abilities would first infiltrate the Freemasons’ base.
To ensure the smooth progress of the operation, some Ninth-Order Mingling Demons were also arranged as reinforcements, ready to respond to any unforeseen circumstances at any time.
