Chapter 1442: Chapter 599: The Emperor Journeys Far Across the Deep Space Beyond
"Mingzi?" Senior Lu slowly descended.
Qin Ming said, "I want to help you resolve past grievances, Senior."
From within Senior Lu’s cracks, a stream of air surged, as if it exhaled a breath of old air, saying, "Forget it, it’s all old matters from thousands of years ago. I’m no longer the Artifact Spirit I once was, and the spirit fire of the insect leader has long extinguished. There’s no need to fuss over a dead person."
"Which insect does it resemble to you?" Qin Ming asked.
Regarding the top ranks of Strange Insects, he was already aware. He had an eagerness to explore the famous Strange Insects. Which one was the one before him?
"It’s truly odd." Senior Lu mused, as it had already been observing and studying deeply, yet could not discern Little Worm’s true origin.
It assessed, "There’s no scent of the Time Worm, nor the grand aura of the Emperor Insect ranked third."
Suddenly, Qin Ming felt overwhelmed. Could this be an Ancestor Worm?
If so, it would truly be comparable to the heavens, known as the Ancestor Worm, unpredictable and limitless in tactics, revered by billions of the Insect Clan.
In fact, Ancestor Worms are inherently of forbidden lineage.
When they do emerge, all Supreme Martial halls will be highly wary.
Senior Lu said, "The majesty of the Ancestor Worm is exceptional, suspended above the Nine Heavens. Simply standing there can subdue many Strange Insects. Do you think it has such an aura?"
Qin Ming glanced at Little Worm’s demeanor; it seemed somewhat rebellious... unlike a good insect.
He became serious, saying, "Could it be the greatest of Strange Insects, the surpassing Ancestor— the legendary Dao Insect which hasn’t emerged for eight thousand years?"
Senior Lu said, "Do you see the natural Taoism, embodied Spirit Essence in it? Does it seem like one on the verge of Tao realization, capable of inheriting the Vast Dao Rhythm?"
Qin Ming frowned, saying, "No, it seems more like something capable of breaking the heavens, not matching with any of the legendary Strange Insects."
Moreover, he confirmed, this certainly isn’t a Dream Insect, the spirit aura seemed to be in two different dimensions.
Qin Ming asked, "Can a low-ranked Strange Insect govern the Strange Insect Alliance and become a prominent figure among them, even rise as the Insect Emperor himself?"
Senior Lu said, "Haven’t you heard? Were Princes and Ministers born to that? Lower-ranked Strange Insects are fiercely competitive; they’ve never failed to ascend, ultimately reaching the summit."
It further added, "Besides, the so-called Strange Insect rankings are limited to observable Earth Realm, as for the unfathomable depths of the Yewu World, how do you know there aren’t other stronger Exotic Insects?"
Qin Ming nodded, agreeing with the logic.
Little Worm’s origins were mysterious, but truly strong, as evidenced by Qin Ming’s borrowing body action, when Little Worm could instinctively revive "Heavenly Eye of Combat," which was enough to explain the matter.
He wondered if it could awaken numerous Divine Abilities if it were to come to life.
However, Qin Ming currently hoped that Little Worm and Two Puppets wouldn’t immediately awaken; even the presence of a single Chairman was stressful for him, the emergence of three altogether felt somewhat unbearable.
Then, he chuckled wryly, thinking how easy could it be to come back to life?
The Chairman’s resurgence was supported not only by the double Scripture Meaning of "Ten Thousand Acupoints Enlightenment Technique" and "Silk Scripture" but also related to a certain pendant; various factors cumulatively led to it.
Regarding the Two Puppets, Senior Lu recognized somewhat familiarly, yet couldn’t recall when or where they had met him.
"Familiar in appearance, yet no memories left, this is truly uncanny." Senior Lu ultimately sighed helplessly.
Qin Ming informed, "The individual highly concerned by the Wangsheng yong organization."
Senior Lu recalled, saying, "Wangsheng yong, immensely mysterious, rumored to originate from a Human pit, also fond of excavating in the Underworld."
It gazed at Two Puppets, saying, "No need to ponder further, this person must be quite extraordinary, perhaps a corpse excavated by Wangsheng yong from the tomb of the Strongest."
Then Senior Lu asked, "Did you abduct these individuals from a single location?"
"Yes, from an experimental field of the Three Major Organizations." Qin Ming nodded.
He thought, the data of these three top-tier experimental subjects was invaluable for the Three Major Organizations, as the current Insect Emperor, old Chairman of God like Association, among others, will eventually bury themselves in a truly fertile Longevity Land.
A better nourishment land would naturally be reserved for themselves.
Senior Lu reflected, that prominent figures of the past, after death, wouldn’t end well; even if hidden deep underground, they’d still be found.
In this world, there must be traces.
Senior Lu sighed, "Can’t escape from the predestined fate."
Qin Ming shook his head, not believing in such things.
Senior Lu lightly sighed, "You shouldn’t doubt, as long as the Strongest are dying, the final moment of life’s sunset will be watched by all parties."
Unless that person is absolutely decisive, self-shattering form and spirit, otherwise, as long as they’re attached or hopeful for the future, wanting to come back to life, they’d bury themselves in splendid earth secret meridian, Outer Heaven Void, etc., ultimately leaving clues to be discovered.
Senior Lu, filled with emotion, said, "Mingzi, when you reach old age, just tell me alone. I’ll pass the memory to the future Artifact Spirit of the Furnace Body, ensuring I incinerate you before future generations find you."
"I thank you, eh!" Qin Ming felt disheartened, what kind of twisted promise is this, what "loyal and righteous" pledge?
He put away Little Worm and Two Puppets, looking up at the sky, saying, "Senior Lu, the beings you mentioned, the perplexed ones, anomalies, I seem to have met them all. Even the Heavenly God Nirvana Practitioner I’ve encountered."
Senior Lu paused, it had once listed examples for Qin Ming, citing Forbidden Domain creatures not to be entangled with, yet Mingzi had three deities beside him, one of whom was still alive!
Qin Ming looked up, saying, "Senior, do you think this village is somewhat peculiar, shouldn’t we investigate from the sky?"
Senior Lu gazed at the pitch-black sky, saying, "Indeed peculiar, seemingly layers upon layers of Dao rhythm, let me examine it."
