Qin Xiao moved the Jianmu tree closer, and its roots surged out from the void, quickly subduing the remaining insect.
However, his focus was not on that, but rather on the Star-Eating Insects on the other side.
"Can you understand human speech?" Qin Xiao asked again.
The other party did not react at all, and Qin Xiao frowned, becoming secretly on guard.
What do you want to do?
The insect tilted its head slightly and relaxed its body, indicating its attitude, but still did not speak.
"What's going on?" Qin Xiao muttered to himself.
“I’m telling you, what do you want to do? If you can’t explain it clearly, I’m going to do it to you.”
As he spoke, the roots of the Jianmu tree appeared around him, like gnarled and thick tentacles.
Finally, after waiting for more than ten seconds, intermittent sounds came from the other party's mouth.
"I... am... modifying... the language system."
Qin Xiao suddenly realized that Ma De was actually a 'mute'.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Xiao humanely destroyed the insects that were controlled by Jianmu.
As things spiraled out of control, the insects on the ground began to panic, attacking and devouring each other.
The collective consciousness among the insects has disappeared; they are now like brainless creatures, completely losing their ability to discern.
Qin Xiao keenly noticed some commotion at the edge of the swarm, indicating that other battles were taking place.
However, Qin Xiao was too lazy to care; they were probably just students participating in the competition.
Thinking about this, Qin Xiao suddenly realized a somewhat tricky problem.
Where the hell did his round ball go?
If I kill two transcendent insects myself, won't I lose everything?
"Jingjing, do you see that little round ball again?"
Jingjing's majestic dragon eyes stared at Qin Xiao, revealing a hint of naivety.
Yoyo shook her head. "Master, what if they lost track of us when they ran away and can't find us?"
Qin Xiao's eyes widened. "You know what, you really think it's true."
Running away? Bah!
During the strategic retreat, we didn't notice that thing and didn't take it with us.
With Youyou's incredible speed in its Peng form, the sphere definitely couldn't keep up.
He was unaware that he was in the control room on Earth.
Sun Lingbo was also anxious and worried, with a hint of anger mixed in.
"Have you found him?"
The monitoring personnel shook their heads; the screen showed a desolate landscape.
"Keep flying in the direction he fled. At that speed, he should be fine."
The small sphere streaked through the air at an extremely high speed, but it was still somewhat insignificant compared to Qin Xiao and the insects' supersonic speed, which was several times the speed of sound.
Qin Xiao shook his head. "Forget it, if we can't find it, so be it. It'll be good to keep my intelligence hidden."
He could only console himself with the thought that winning the league title this time might be a bit troublesome.
However, he turned to look at the insects that had been drained by the Jianmu tree. With this corpse, there should still be some proof.
Besides, isn't there still one alive?
Just then, the star-eating worm had already adjusted its vocal organs.
"Greetings, being from another world! I am the Queen of the Star-Scarred Insect Clan!"
His words immediately shocked Qin Xiao.
He looked her up and down for a moment. "The Zerg Queen?"
The other party did not respond to the question, but instead spoke.
"To be precise, it is an independent consciousness that belongs to the Zerg Queen and split off from the Queen."
What do you want to do?
Qin Xiao asked directly whether he should believe what the other party said, and said he needed to consider it further and ask about the other party's purpose first.
"This plane has been corrupted by Him. If we do not resist, the Zerg will lose their space and meaning of survival."
I seek cooperation to free the Starscar Zerg from His control.
As a race favored by the gods, the Zerg have had their future shattered, and this is something I cannot tolerate.
The other party revealed their purpose in detail, and Qin Xiao frowned.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why you came to me, but this kind of task is not something a Platinum-level person like me can complete."
Perhaps you could try contacting the Star Empire; they likely have the same concerns as you.
Qin Xiao wasn't particularly interested in these things. He wasn't crazy to risk his life to save a group of insects across countless dimensions.
Although the Star-Eating Insect had no expression, Qin Xiao could sense that it was confident in its abilities.
"First of all, His power is not invincible here, otherwise I would not have been able to deceive Him."
Secondly, the situation in the Star Empire might be even worse than that of the Zerg, at least the Empress has all the decision-making power.
Furthermore, the Star Empire may be more deeply corrupted than the Zerg, and their enemies are hidden within.
Qin Xiao suddenly realized that this was indeed a problem. Although the planes of existence were different, the morals of humans were largely the same.
"But what does this have to do with me, a Platinum player?"
Qin Xiao asked again, spreading his hands as if he couldn't help.
"I know you are a human from another world, and your race is very powerful. This is an opportunity for cooperation."
All you need to do is act as an intermediary and introduce me to the strongest members of your tribe.
If we could expel Him, we would gain a vast amount of divine power, the pure divine power accumulated over the years, and even the authority that had been delegated.
"I can give all of this up; it can be taken as spoils of war and freely disposed of by the strongest of your race!"
Qin Xiao was completely confused, having no idea what divine power, divine authority, or any such thing was involved.
Can authority be transferred?
Is this some kind of plug-and-play accessory?
Perhaps sensing his confusion, "This plane does not contain His true form, but was shaped by a wisp of His projection combined with years of nurturing by the Zerg."
"Simply destroy this avatar of the deity, and the new authority and divine power that arise within it can be seized and taken away."
Goodness, Qin Xiao understood a little.
To put it bluntly, isn't this just a case of the cuckoo taking over someone else's nest? Others plant the trees, while they reap the fruit.
Perhaps this is what this Zerg Queen is after?
"Even if you manage to steal their fruits, you'll probably be constantly hunted down by them, right?"
The Star-Eating Insect looked directly at Qin Xiao, "But isn't it all worth the risk?"
"Through countless planes and countless beings, how many creatures can ascend the divine ladder, ignite the divine fire, and ascend the divine throne! It's all worth it."
Qin Xiao pondered for a moment.
For me, this matter is neither risky nor particularly beneficial.
All he had to do was report the situation; since rescue was on its way, he could just relay the information.
As long as he doesn't participate, he can just grab some rewards along the way.
If the higher-ups on Earth aren't interested, then forget it; he doesn't seem to lose anything.
Moreover, keeping this so-called queenly independence consciousness can also prove his points.
That's good, let's keep her calm first.
"Yes, I can pass on the message, but you'll have to wait a day."
The Star-Eating Insect nodded without comment.
Qin Xiao didn't waste any time and immediately led Jianmu and the beast tamers down to harvest the insects.
As for whether it would be inappropriate for the other party's 'mother' to be here, he couldn't care less.
Qin Xiao didn't see that behind him, the Star-Eating Insect's compound eyes were staring intently at the sky-covering Jianmu tree.
Even though he didn't show it on his face, his greed was still very strong.
