Chapter 510: Survival and Continuation
"Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence, don't resort to violence."
A gentle ancestor came out to offer some advice, but who could persuade Dark Light, who had fought his way through mountains of knives and seas of blood?
This pulled the Zerg from its lowest point, not only bringing them to their peak in just two eras, but also laying a solid foundation for several future eras.
The Zerg's stability is not achieved through negotiation or persuasion, but rather through whoever has the bigger fist.
But Dis is, after all, the most senior ancestor. There are few ancestors older than her who still have complete consciousness, so they should still be respected, except for the youngest little tyrant here.
As soon as Dark Light drew her blade, Dis could only hide among the other ancestors. Dark Light was, after all, a junior, and she couldn't possibly fight with a junior.
Darklight, however, did not want to concern herself with seniority. She had gradually built the Zerg into what it was today, and she would not be polite to anyone who wanted to drag the Zerg back into the abyss, even her ancestors.
Even if it doesn't harm the Zerg, it's unacceptable for her children, and even her children's children, to suffer.
She devoted her entire life to the Zerg, never enjoying any family happiness. Even when she finally returned to the temple, she never embraced Sevier, leaving a deep-seated resentment in Sevier's heart. Sevier's child also suffered such hardship. As both a child and a mother, Sevier experienced far too many separations.
Darklight gripped the long sword formed from condensed energy, chasing Dis throughout the temple. The other ancestors pushed and shoved Dis, trying to get her to hide elsewhere. "Queen Dis, please don't hide here! I've slept for several eras and barely managed to preserve my complete consciousness. I want to see my descendants a little longer."
Although they are now in the state of conscious spirits, it still hurts and damages their consciousness when a long sword made of condensed energy strikes another conscious being made of condensed energy. They want to exist for several more eras.
Seeing that they couldn't dodge in time, Dis had no choice but to hug one of the smaller ones, with the long, dark blade hovering above her head.
The little king insect she was holding looked up at the same time as her, and when they saw the long sword with its dark light stop, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the little ancestor pouted and said, "Ancestor Dis, how could you take me hostage?"
After saying that, she suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, Ancestor Dis bullied me!"
Dis: "......"
Her mother charged forward like a cannonball, yelling, "Who dares to bully my Anunu!"
The mother of this little ancestor was extremely robust in her original form, and the ancestor Dis was knocked to the ground and rolled several times.
The other ancestors couldn't help but criticize Ancestor Dis and went to comfort the little ancestor.
In the temple, the little ancestors who did not grow up were the most beloved by them.
Dis was struck by the energy, and her consciousness became somewhat unstable. It took her a long time to regain her composure and she sighed at the dim light.
"I admit I was wrong in this matter, but I did it for the Zerg. If I betrayed the Zerg and did something to harm them, the Temple wouldn't tolerate me. Don't you agree?"
Darklight wasn't an unreasonable person; she just wanted to teach Dis a lesson, to show her that she couldn't do things behind everyone's back.
"Queen Dis, you certainly wouldn't intentionally betray or harm the Zerg, but you are indeed biased."
"What do you want to achieve by bringing the Shadow Clan back to the Zerg?"
Dis hurriedly said, "I don't want the Shadow Clan to return; I just want to connect the two clans. You say I'm biased, but during my time in power, both clans were my subjects. Now the Shadow Clan is wandering abroad..."
"Your time has passed."
Darklight interrupted her, "Your era is tens of thousands of years past. During this time, the Zerg have undergone countless transformations. Do you want the Zerg to go back to the past? We can only move forward, not backward."
Dis was speechless after Dark Light's words, but she still said, "You're right. I'm an ancient relic from tens of thousands of years ago and shouldn't interfere with the current Zerg. But even if I don't interfere, the Shadow Clan will eventually have to make contact with the Light Clan again. They are also Zerg, and that will never change."
Darklight stared at her for a moment, then said, "Their purpose."
Dis said, "The Zerg's goal is the same as that of all civilizations in the universe: survival and continuation."
After saying that, her figure disappeared back into the statue.

Anno returned to the palace and spent her days helping Sevier and Augsis with government affairs, which gave her a chance to observe and learn from them.
However, she is still small in size, and she gets sleepy after watching for a while, especially when she concentrates on absorbing a lot of information in her consciousness network, she gets even sleepier.
Actually, her core is no longer a big problem. The two cores in her body make her feel like she has a surging ocean of energy. However, she has been sleeping in the abyss for ten years. In order to let her consciousness adapt first, Dark Light has been gradually distancing herself from her body every day.
Anno was forced to return to a childlike existence of eating and sleeping.
She sat in the center of the conference table, listening to the reports from the various high-ranking family members. Augsis and Seville were each dealing with mountains of official business. In the time it took her to doze off, they had already finished more than a dozen.
Seeing that she was dozing off again, Sevier scooped her into her arms, gently patted her back, and continued to handle government affairs.
They don't just look at each piece of information when it comes to government affairs. Instead, they review each piece of government affairs through all the senior relatives, and then transmit them through the consciousness network. Most of the government affairs can be decided by the senior relatives, and the relatives are also aware of their handling methods. Only some more complicated and special cases that they cannot decide on are handed over to them.
All government affairs are processed through the consciousness network, quickly going through the minds of the two kings, and any problems can be identified very quickly.
Anno felt sleepy as soon as she saw these messages. She tried her best to stay awake, but she just couldn't control it.
After some time, she decided to stop accompanying Sevier and the others in handling government affairs. She felt that she was more suited to fighting. As soon as this information passed through her mind, the dense text flew past her like tiny black dots, making her head spin.
This way of handling government affairs is something she will need to adapt to in the future. When Sevier first started learning about government affairs, she was also dizzy. Normally, she would actively receive and browse the information in her consciousness network, but these government affairs were like an assembly line. After being processed by other relatives, they finally came to her, and she had to receive them.
However, Anunu still has a long time to adapt. Right now, they don't need her to do these things. It's just that she has nothing to do and wants to follow them. Sure enough, after following them for a while, she can't keep up anymore.
Sevier watched with affection as she carried her sword outside to train with her family. Seeing her back, she thought of herself. On the very first day of training, she couldn't stand it and told her mother she didn't want to do it anymore and wanted to go to the battlefield. Her mother beat her up. Sevier was stubborn and it took several beatings to finally subdue her.
Although she had been beaten into submission, she still didn't want to deal with these trivial matters. Later, when Augustus came along, she mostly entrusted these administrative affairs to him.
Seeing Anunu training with his retinue outside the palace, Seville felt as if she were seeing her younger self.
After playing with her retinue, Anno sat on the long steps of the palace, lost in thought. She had a lot more information on her mind today, and she thought of someone very important.
Nancy saw the little princess sitting on the steps, so she sat down next to her and reached out to pat her head: "Little princess, what are you thinking about?"
Anno looked up at him and said, "Sitael, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen him."
She opened her arms and said, "I remember his hands were soft and beautiful, and his hair was cool and smooth like silk."
Nancy smiled upon hearing her description and deliberately said, "Does Your Highness only remember Prince Sitar?"
Anno said, "And Caesar, but there are too many Caesars."
Nancy said, "Then, Your Highness, tell me what kind of Caesar you remember him as?"
Anno thought for a moment and said, "His eyes are beautiful, golden like the sun, and very warm."
When thinking of the two of them, Anno described Nancy as, "Caesar is like the sun, and Sitar is like the moon."
Nancy said, "But Your Highness, we have neither sun nor moon here."
Anno sighed, cupping her face in her hands. "Okay."
Seeing her adorable appearance, Nancy resisted the urge to pinch her cheeks.
“Let’s go see Sital,” Anno said to Nancy.
"You can't go to His Highness now. His Highness Sitar is still sleeping in the abyss; you won't be able to find him."
Anno said, "But I was the one who found Sitar before."
She went without hesitation, heading to the abyss with Bao Bao and A Xun. She searched for a long time but couldn't find Xitar, because his sleeping place was different from last time. There were no glowing creatures to guide him; it was all darkness, and he had no direction.
So Anno called Caesar and asked him to come pick him up.
This time, Sevier and Augsis didn't stop her. As long as her safety was guaranteed, she just wanted to go out and have fun. She didn't need to worry about anything else for the time being.
Of course, this was also at the behest of the Dark Light Queen. They had been searching and guarding for a long time, but had not been able to capture anyone from the Shadow Clan. They could no longer remain passive. Ancestor Dis was right about one thing: the Light and Shadow Clan and the Shadow Insect Clan were bound to clash sooner or later. They might as well take advantage of the moment to see what they were planning to do.
Mingxiao and the others hadn't seen the little princess for ten years. Hearing that she was coming, they quickly started preparing, unlike Caesar, who slept for ten years straight.
Their current outer defense base is quite simple, unlike the royal palace.
This was Anno's first time at the outer defense base. Caesar simply opened a spatial portal to let her in, while Mingxiao and the others were still scrambling to prepare.
"No need to prepare anymore, Her Majesty the Queen wants us to take the young prince to explore other places," Caesar said to them.
At this moment, Anno was straddling his shoulders, holding his head and looking at his retinue.
Seeing the little prince shrink back to his original size, for some reason, they all sighed in unison. It was all for nothing.
