Chapter 1723: Chapter 1265: We’re Going Home
"Fools! Have you forgotten? The hive is already mine!" the Worm cackled.
"Idiot... Who told you that it was the hive?"
"Heh, don’t try to deceive me, as if I wouldn’t know whether it’s the hive or not?"
"Hmm, let me put it another way then. As the creator of the hive, would I only craft a single one?"
As he spoke, Long Yi actually pulled out a hive from his personal space! And it looked exactly the same as the one just taken by the Worm!
"What!" The Worm was shocked, but then it calmed down, "Heh, nice try, but I am not fooled, because that is not the real hive. The real hive is already in my possession. If that were a fake, you definitely wouldn’t have expended such a huge amount of Heavenly Kingdom’s energy to transform it."
"Yes, under normal circumstances, I indeed wouldn’t do such a thing, unless..."
"Unless you have another purpose!" The Worm was alarmed. Whether real or not, that hive was extremely dangerous to it, and it had to take countermeasures immediately.
"Too late! Activate! The hive!"
Inside the Worm, the hive suddenly activated. It began the process of manufacturing worms, and as soon as a worm was created, it was immediately devoured by the surrounding black substance. Nothing happened.
At first, the Worm was somewhat nervous, but soon it began to laugh loudly: "Is this your counterattack? Creator? Creating more worms to make me even stronger? If you are trying to burst me, I’m afraid you need to try much harder!"
Long Yi, however, shook his head and tapping the hive in his hand, he said, "How much do you understand about creating life, worm?"
Hearing Long Yi’s question, the Worm was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Long Yi would say such a thing, but the Worm was still in a good mood and replied, "Maybe not as much as you, but not little either."
Long Yi just shook his head with a wry smile and said, "When I awoke in the Human Realm and traversed this journey, looking back carefully, I, who once claimed to be the creator, was truly insignificant. I didn’t even know what my creations really wanted. This was the case when I created the Divine Realm, and the same goes for you, whom I’ve created."
The Worm sneered and said, "Do you intend to apologize to me, and plead for my mercy, my creator?"
Long Yi shook his head and said, "Not at all. I just want to say, every creation wishes to become the creator. I felt this way, the gods I created felt this way, the Giants Simu created felt this way, and the Humans created by the Giants felt this way, every creature feels the same. Because life believes that only by becoming the creator can it be lofty and surpass everything. Unfortunately, most of the time, even the creator themselves do not know what kind of existence the life it created is."
While speaking, the Worm’s entire body suddenly began to violently tremble, followed by a series of explosions from within it.
"What’s going on! What happened!" The Worm immediately sensed something was wrong, but it didn’t know what exactly was amiss.
"To deal with me, you set up replicas capable of devouring even the rules within you, like Little Black. I must say, your imitation of Little Black is indeed quite impressive with only limited knowledge. Little Black is a life from the Heavenly Kingdom, and even I, who have not yet fully restored my Heavenly Kingdom’s memories, struggle to understand its form, but there is one thing I am certain of. You may be able to mimic most of its abilities, but you do not understand why its powers are as they are, so your imitation has a major flaw."
As Long Yi was speaking, the booming noises came from within the Worm again, and this time the Worm’s massive body was distorted and deformed!
"Little Black’s consciousness is formed by the result of an infinite devouring consciousness devouring each other, this mutual devouring prevents it from having too much intelligence but ensures its high degree of independence. And you did not know this; you configured them to be like Primordial Substance, a form of simple life, to be able to control the black substance. Such simple life forms will naturally follow your commands, but they might just as well follow someone else’s commands!"
"You’re using worms to parasitize them!" The Worm roared, finally understanding what Long Yi was doing. It hurriedly tried to revert the situation, but it was too late. Countless worms had begun the process of parasitism and fusion, and those black substances parasitized by the Worms clashed with the original black substances, constantly devouring each other. The inside of the Worm’s belly was a total mess. The Worm opened its mouth wide, trying to spit out the black substances, but the substances themselves possessed a terrifying attraction; they refused to leave!
"Look, now we have no Divine Power, nor ready-to-use rules at our disposal. In this world, the Worm’s parasitic ability is just too useful," Long Yi said with a smile.
"Bastard..." The Worm’s massive Fine Gold body kept shriveling, and then cracks appeared, through which the black substances surged out, entangling and devouring each other. But such devouring was doomed to be less and less, because the hive was continuously creating worms, and with more worms parasitizing the black material, resistance began to fade away.
