Chapter 34: Ignite the Divine Fire

I, the King, have led the Devouring Ants for a thousand years, sweeping through the chaos of all realms, wielding two great divine artifacts, and becoming the first ever World King to rule the Original World!

The Ant King’s expression was extremely solemn. “Today, I lead my entire tribe in a grand sacrifice to the one true Creator! I implore the divine to descend and answer my questions!”

As the Ant King’s words fell, countless billions of Devouring Ants knelt down in unison, worshiping the massive statue of the Creator before them.

What does it mean to have an army of millions or billions? From a distance, it looks like an endless ocean of black, stretching beyond sight.

Even from the outside, Jiang Ping couldn’t help but marvel at the spectacular scene, amazed by the organization of the Devouring Ants, and he vaguely felt a chaotic force of faith emanating from the void.

“You come looking for me just now at the end of the road?” Jiang Ping laughed lightly.

“The Ants must ultimately pay for their actions.”

When the Devouring Ants once obliterated all, they left no path for others to survive. Now, faced with their own destruction, they turn to him for help.

Please, as the Creator, I too have my pride! Jiang Ping haughtily refused, curious to see what the arrogant Ant King would do next!

In the Original World, the grand sacrifice had already been underway for half an hour, yet the massive white statue of the Creator showed no sign of response.

“This is bad!” The Ant Queens exchanged worried glances. According to ancient records, the Creator had never shown himself in response to sacrifices made by all beings.

Except for the time when he left footprints, the only confirmed event in the annals of all races was.

As the Ice Ancient Era ended, all beings revived, and the Creator cast down extraordinary seeds, leading the world to embark on the path of transcending the ordinary.

The lack of response during this unprecedented grand sacrifice was expected. The Ant Queens cautiously glanced at the Ant King presiding over the ceremony.

The Ant King’s expression grew grim. Although he was prepared, the utter lack of reaction still struck him hard.

He waved his hand, “Initiate the backup plan!”

“Yes!”

The Ant Queens felt a jolt in their hearts as they began issuing orders again, while the Ant Heroes in the distance led the tribe to proceed with the next step.

“Hehe, what other tricks do you have?”

Seated on the couch, Jiang Ping watched curiously as the Ant King went about his work.

Boom! A thunderous roar erupted as the massive white statue of the Creator was suddenly toppled over, and as it hit the ground, countless cracks appeared.

Billions of Devouring Ants scoffed at the shattered statue, even desecrating it further!

Jiang Ping couldn’t help but maintain a relaxed smile, “Worship means nothing; if you’re trying to force my hand, tough luck! I still won’t reveal myself!”

To rush out just because his statue was toppled would be too hasty. Jiang Ping still had some patience left, and he wanted to see what the Ant King would do next.

Even as his creations, disrespecting their master was the ultimate act of rebellion.

The Ant King’s shocking action darkened the sky, the already pitch-black heavens becoming even more terrifying above the altar.

A massive dark cloud quickly began to brew. Insulting the Creator would incur divine wrath!

The towering thunder could strike at any moment!

Underneath, billions of Devouring Ants felt a chill run down their spines, sensing the destructive force brewing within the thundercloud. If the thunderstorm struck, likely none of the Devouring Ants would survive!

The Ant King cast a fierce glance at the sky. Taking a step back, he prepared to throw a strike, channeling his magical power to its peak as his right arm bulged with muscle.

Whoosh! The black Spear of Destiny transformed into a streak of black meteor, slicing through the sky with a sonic boom that erupted above the altar!

To the shock of the Ant Queens, a giant hole suddenly burst open in the colossal dark cloud above, and the power of the hole rippled out, dispersing the dark cloud in the blink of an eye.

The aura of destruction vanished in an instant, a wave of relief sweeping through the ant crowd. Whoosh! A black line appeared in the sky as the Ant King made a gesture, and the Spear of Destiny returned to him.

“Long live our King!”

A thunderous cheer erupted from the altar.

“Since the divine shows no sign of revealing himself, as the World King, I shall confer divinity upon myself today!” The Ant King raised the Spear of Destiny and proclaimed dominantly.

“The Creator is nothing but a coward! I, the King, shall declare myself the King of all gods today! The world shall crawl beneath my feet! One day, I will invade the divine realm!”

As he spoke, the world seemed to halt, the air itself felt stifled, billions of ants gazed at the Ant King with fervent worship.

“God King! God King!”

The roar echoed to the heavens as they abandoned their Creator to worship the Ant King as their supreme deity! Watching this, the Ant King closed his eyes, absorbing the invisible force of faith flowing in from all sides.

After a long moment, there was a loud bang as the Ant King’s power surged once more, a cluster of golden flame slowly appeared on his forehead.

Drawing in the omnipresent force of faith and the fortunes of the entire Original World! The Ant King knew he had made the right bet.

The Ant Queens stared at the Ant King in stupor as he surpassed his limits once again. Previously immeasurable, now his power was inconceivable, akin to that of a deity.

With a prideful smile, the Ant King reached out, and as he did, a crackling sound filled the air as fissures appeared in the void. They were quickly repaired by the world itself, but they did appear! “What is this, my King?”

The Ant Queen’s heart raced with anxiety as she asked.

“The world can no longer constrain my race! The barriers of this world can trap us no longer!” The Ant King laughed triumphantly.

Another wave of thunderous cheers erupted. Black rain began to fall from the dark sky, as if the world itself wept for this rebellious child.

At this moment, the Ant King stood tall and proud, wielding two divine artifacts, igniting the divine fire, and beginning to touch upon the powers of the laws. The fortunes of the Original World gathered within him.

Suddenly, a massive celestial eye appeared in the sky!

The overwhelming cheers abruptly fell silent as the Devouring Ants stared blankly at the sky.

The Ant King tightened his grip on the Spear of Destiny, looking gravely at the celestial eye up above.

“Is that you, Creator?”

Indeed, that eye was Jiang Ping’s projection, and at this moment, the Ant King stood at the peak of Ant life.

Uniting the entire clan, carrying the world’s fortunes, igniting the divine fire, paving a path never before walked.

Added to that, after repeatedly provoking him, Jiang Ping felt it was time to reveal himself.

Sometimes they don’t realize why the flower blossoms so red until they taste the bitterness of life!

The celestial eye was profoundly deep. Inside, there was chaos and every now and then, a star swept across the vast expanse. All the Devouring Ants on the altar trembled, feeling crushing pressure.

After all, this was the Creator of all! The world, all beings were crafted by him, and before this, they had blasphemed the Creator! The Ant King looked grave, swinging the Spear of Destiny, aiming its tip at the celestial eye.

“What of the Creator? Today, I ignite the divine fire and ascend to the godly realm, I have already the power to stand shoulder to shoulder with you!”

“Indeed! The God King has the strength to challenge you; he is the master of the world!” The Ant Queens shouted fiercely from the sides.

The power of the Ant King instilled immense courage in them; he was a miracle-making legend.

“The Creator has retreated; now it is the God King who rules the world!”

“King! King!”

The billions of Devouring Ants fell into madness, shouting the Ant King’s true name, praising his splendor. In that moment, the fear they felt from the celestial eye dissipated.

When heaven intends to destroy something, it first drives them mad.

Jiang Ping’s eyes darkened. He calmly asked the imposing Ant King, “Do you truly wish to challenge me?”
