Current Evolution Points: 3.8 Origin Points (3.8 trillion Evolution Points)
Time quietly arrived at the beginning of July. In the period leading up to this, Zhou Qi devoted himself entirely to the expansion of his surface forces.
He presided from behind the scenes, like a top chess player controlling the overall situation, directing the Parasites to launch a silent yet thrilling “war” in various countries.
Under Zhou Qi's meticulous planning and the close cooperation of the Parasites, in just half a month, more than a dozen military powers unknowingly fell under his “command.”
Now, Zhou Qi has become the uncrowned king behind the surface world. Under his control, the politics, economy, and military of various countries operate like puppets manipulated by him, following his will.
Government officials, influenced by him, make decisions that benefit him. Economic resources continuously converge towards his forces, and military power gradually becomes a tool in his hands.
As insect farms sprang up across the globe like mushrooms after rain, Zhou Qi's Evolution Points growth rate reached an astonishing hundreds of billions per day.
These insect farms adopted the most advanced breeding techniques, combined with special feed, allowing insects to reproduce at an unprecedented speed.
In an insect farm in South America, within a huge breeding shed, temperature and humidity were precisely controlled within the most suitable range for Yellow Mealworm growth.
Specially made breeding racks were stacked layer upon layer, densely covered with Yellow Mealworm.
Each harvest was a feast of abundance. Large quantities of Yellow Mealworm were collected and converted into massive Evolution Points, providing powerful impetus for the development of Zhou Qi's forces.
In another insect farm in Asia, Black Soldier Flies were being bred.
The breeding environment here was also meticulously designed, with automated equipment precisely controlling the temperature, humidity, and light in the breeding area.
Breeding personnel used advanced technology to create an ideal living environment for the Black Soldier Flies.
Black Soldier Flies reproduced in large numbers in such an environment. They decomposed organic waste at an astonishing speed, not only contributing to environmental protection but also generating a large amount of energy in the process.
This energy was collected through special devices and converted into Evolution Points, continuously flowing into Zhou Qi's account.
Zhou Qi's research team is also continuously studying how to further optimize breeding technology, improve the reproduction efficiency and energy output of Black Soldier Flies, making insect farms an important base for him to acquire Evolution Points.

On this day, after Zhou Qi finished handling affairs on the surface, he, concerned about the development of the Geocentric Base, instantly teleported there.
At this time, the Geocentric Base, after nearly a month of development, had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The base's occupied area continuously expanded outwards, and new buildings sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
These buildings varied in style: some were sturdy fortresses built from huge stones, their surfaces carved with mysterious runes that not only served as decoration but also enhanced the buildings' defensive capabilities;
Others were lightweight structures built from special plant Materials. These plants grew rapidly in the base's unique environment, providing natural protection for the buildings.
It was simply like a scene from myths and legends.
The Insectoid Kin each performed their duties, busily moving through various areas.
The Ninth-Order Four Fiend Bug Soldiers were neatly arranged, carrying out their daily patrol missions.
They exuded a strong black Evil Qi, like envoys from Hell. Wherever they went, the air seemed to solidify from this Evil Qi.
The Ninth-Order Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs were responsible for transporting heavy supplies. Their massive bodies were like moving small mountains, and with every step, the ground trembled slightly.
Their spiked horns shimmered with metallic luster in the sunlight, and their strong limbs were bulging with muscles, full of power.
And those Insectoids responsible for breeding meticulously cared for the Yellow Mealworm and other special insects.
They gently touched the insects with their antennae, as if communicating with them, carefully checking the health of each insect.
The Parasites were also busy at their respective posts.
Some were managing various affairs of the base, maintaining its order.
They operated like gears in a precise machine, running methodically, handling various daily tasks, from material distribution to personnel scheduling. Every step was meticulously arranged by them.
Some were communicating and coordinating with newly affiliated races, promoting cooperation between different races.
They patiently listened to the needs and opinions of different races, striving to resolve conflicts and create a harmonious and stable development environment.
And the indigenous people of different races also found their place here, contributing their strength to the development of the base.
The Lizardmen, with their familiarity with the Underworld, played an important role in exploring surrounding areas.
They traversed complex caves and mountains, using their climbing abilities and keen senses to search for new resources and potential dangers.
Other non-parasitized indigenous races of the Earth's Core had also integrated well into the Geocentric Base.
The entire base presented a prosperous and harmonious scene.
Seeing Zhou Qi's arrival, everyone stopped their work and respectfully saluted.
Zhou Qi felt their reverence, and a surge of ambition welled up in his heart.
Now, his subjects in the Underworld numbered in the millions. It was time to launch a general offensive against other forces in the Underworld and incorporate the entire Underworld into his territory.
Immediately, the entire Geocentric Base quickly entered a state of tense war mobilization.
Sharp horn sounds echoed above the base, like a sharp blade cutting through the sky, reaching every corner.
Insectoid Kin, as well as the parasitized Ironblood Bugmen, Lizardmen, Yi Serpent Person, and others, gathered quickly from all directions like warriors receiving a sacred mission.
Their steps were uniform, their eyes resolute, forming a massive army of over a million.
The army was neatly arranged. At a glance, the dense figures stretched endlessly, like a black ocean, exuding a chilling Aura.
Major generals such as the Fifth-Order Flying Thunder Centipede, Uka, You Long, Moga Luo, Fifth-Order Rock Person, and Fifth-Order Mud Swamp Frogman Priest stood majestically in front of their respective teams.
The Fifth-Order Flying Thunder Centipede was enormous, with blue and white circular patterns on its back shimmering with mysterious lightning. Its two pairs of wings, which overshadowed the sky, trembled slightly, each flap generating a powerful airflow, as if the surrounding air was distorted by this force.
Uka had been enhanced into a Fifth-Order Tai Cang Dragon, nearly 80 meters long, exuding a powerful and majestic Aura. His huge head was slightly lowered, his blood-red eyes gleamed with excitement and fighting spirit, and each breath was accompanied by a powerful surge of airflow, as if he could inhale and exhale Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
