The twelve little stars grew bigger and brighter, soon covering everything in the insect expertsâ visions. They were truly beautiful, like angels that descended from the heavens.
Billions of insects were looking at the beautiful stars descending down upon them, but none were aware that this would be the last thing they ever saw.
Twelve stars blasted through the insect planetâs atmospheric layers, the first star ignited in flames from the friction with the atmosphere. Heatwaves emanated out from the falling star and a trail of fire was left behind, forming a long tail on its back like a streaming meteor.
The star was over a thousand miles in radius, it only took a few moments for it to crash to the ground of the insect planet.
The earth quaked and water crashed all over the place, hurricanes embodied with blazing fire blew from one end of the planet to the other in a matter of seconds!
In the hurricanes, the Flowery Corpse God Chrysalises were crushed and broken and the flames then incinerated their giant bodies.
The Flowery Corpse God Chrysalises struggled in pain until death as it became charred black into charcoals.
The insect planet didnât have any water on its surface, the water sources were all deep beneath the ground. But as the star crashed onto the ground, the water underneath shot up into the air like a geyser.
In the sky, burning rocks rained down all over the insect planet. Those insect experts who survived the first crash were now immediately faced with their the second wave of calamities. Countless insect Qi Practitioners were hit by the burning rocks and died in a horrible way.
Earth, water, wind, fire; the balance of the insect planet was disrupted, triggering a chain reaction.
But the calamity did not end just here yet. The second, third, fourth ⦠a total of eleven stars then came crashing relentlessly.
Meanwhile, the insect gods and mother insects finished their worshipping, the mother queenâs spirit had descended from the Void World and entered her mortal body. Almost instantaneously, the Mother Queen Palace shuddered violently in the underground.
The insect gods and mother gods were changing faces drastically, they quickly flew out and but before they could exit to the ground surface, the earth crust sank down toward the center. The friction acted on the earth crust even melted the rocks and stones into lavas, stopping the gods from going out.
An insect god tried pressing through the lavas but was immediately pushed back, he was spurting out blood and crashed through the underground tunnels.
The other insect gods and mother gods were shocked, the insect planet was like a huge ant nest, tunnels were connecting one another and with the lava flowing into the underground, everything would be melted and destroyed!
Even when there were the strong insect Qi Practitioners who werenât afraid of the fire and heat, the gushing lavas could still drown them in and the immense pressure could crush them as well!
âWhat happened?" An insect god was stunned, he shouted in shock, âAre the Deity Overlords and Deity Emperors of the Ancestral Star here?â
Such incredible power, it was never achievable by the ordinary divine weapons, nor the ordinary gods. Only the Deity Overlords or even the Deity Emperors possess such strength!
KRONGGââ
The second star impacted on the ground. The earth quaked even harder and the earth crust sank deeper into the planetâs core. This forced the insect gods to rush deeper into the planet core as they didnât enough time to exit to the ground surface.
KRONGGââ
KRONGGââ
KRONGGââ
â¦
The stars crashed in one another. The insect planetâs earth crust was already melting into the lavas, even the icy cold world at the back of the insect planet was turned into an ocean of lava. The whole insect planetâs surface was now like a world of lava.
This lava was flowing into the underground, melting everything on their path.
The earth was quaking and sinking into the planet core, the immense pressure pressed on the insect gods into spurting out bloods. It was only four stars that crashed onto the insect planet so far and the insect planet was already on the brink of melting away wholly!
Right at this moment, the huge mother queen slowly opened her eyes. The compound eyes on her body were rolling continuously and suddenly, her huge mouth suddenly detached from the Ancestral Star. The tentacles on her body shot out through the quaking earth into the sky.
In mid-air, a falling star was pierced through by one of the many tentacles. Then, the star and the tentacle both pulverized into the tiniest particles while a loud groan of pain came from the underground.
In the midst of the burning skies, the mother queenâs tentacles pierced through the firmament and crushed the other falling stars. This was done at the cost of a tentacle for the destruction of a falling star each.
When the twelfth star was moving toward the atmospheric layer of the insect planet, the mother queenâs huge mouth shrunk back and roared right at the star. A layer of rocks was brushed off from the starâs surface just from the roar alone, itâs speed slowed down and finally, it stopped its free fall into the insect planet. Instead, the star began to orbit around the insect planet, making it the insect planetâs first satellite.
Other than that, parts of the insect planet and the broken parts of the other falling stars also formed into tiny little satellites orbiting the insect planet.
âMother queen!" The surviving insect gods and mother gods were overjoyed, they looked at the mother queen in the planet core in awe.
âMother queen!â
âLong live the great mother queen!â
âMother queen is unstoppable!â
â¦â¦
Suddenly, the praise slowly stopped and the insect gods and mother gods exchanged a look. The aura of their mother queen was waning at a noticeable rate, her tentacles were moving back to her side. Some of them were already broken away while some appeared gravely wounded.
Even her mouth that was able to move through dimensions had a few holes on it as well.
â¦â¦
âThe energy you offered to me isnât sufficient anymore." The mother queenâs voice trembled the surroundings as she said, âIt depleted and I can no longer linger in the mortal world anymore. I need more sacrifices if you want me to descend from the Void World againâ¦â
Her voice grew softer as she spoke, and suddenly, the mother queenâs spirit flew out from her mortal body and disappeared back into the void.
âMother queen!" The gods cried. They knelt helplessly before the huge mortal body and wept. Sobbing as everything they planned, every effort they put in for years and generations were wiped away in less than a few seconds time!
After a long time, the gods stood up with heavy grief.
âWho, who is it! Who is it that destroyed all of our hard work!â
âWho are you!? Show yourself! Are you even worthy to be called a god if you donât even dare to stand against us squarely!?â
âCome out!â
â¦â¦
â¦â¦
The insect planet was now a ball of fire, lava flowed above the ground and seeped deep into the planetâs core. Even if there were any insects that survived the calamities, they wouldnât be able to live under such circumstances either.
The insect gods and mother gods were downcast. Everything they had prepared for was now lost forever. Furthermore, it was at the time where they summoned the spirit of the mother queen back from the Void World, the day where their insect race would rise to its peak. To plummet from the highest peak they had ever reached to in this day to where they were now left an extremely bitter aftertaste in their mouths!
Other than them â the gods â all of the other insects were dead. Billions or even over a trillion insects were killed under the burning rocks, either from being drowned in the resultant tsunami, or melted by the blazing lava!
âWho ⦠who did thisâ¦â
On the surface of the insect planet, in the burning lavas, the insect gods and the mother gods unleashed their beast-like nature. Surging waves after waves of lavas into the sky as they entangle with one another.
In the moanings of the mother insects and roarings of the insect gods, they coupled one time after another. The insect gods injected their seeds into the stomachs of the mother gods, causing the mother godsâ stomachs to bulged up like balloons.
Suddenly, an insect god had given out all of his energy and died of exhaustion while the other insect gods werenât in any better conditions as well. After some time, another few insect gods died of the same cause and the mother godsâ stomachs were already round like the fully inflated balloons.
Pu, pu, puâ¦
The mother gods extended their tentacles into the lavas and discharged the insect eggs deep into the insect planet. Millions of these insect eggs were placed deep in the insect planet, they were all as tall as a human adult but they didnât hatch immediately. Instead, these insect eggs were siphoning the energy from the burning lavas to incubate themselves.
A few months later, the surface of the insect planet finally cooled down. The energy in the lavas was siphoned by the insect eggs and these little livings were slowly nurtured, but they still havenât hatched yet.
Deep in the underground, there were still the lavas flowing around, while these insect eggs were a layer right above the flowing lavas.
âMy children, you will come to life one day in the future," A mother god whose upper half was like a demon lady opened her eight arms as if she was hugging the sky mumbled, âThe day you smell the flesh and blood of the other living beings is the day you shall rise from the ashes of your ancestors. Your senses will direct you to your food and your bodies are the weapons you use to slaughter them all. Find them, eat them, and grow stronger than ever.
âBy then, the world will dread you, and you shall be the king of this universe! And, you will bring back our great ancestor, the mother queen. your brothers and sisters will wait for you to return and reunite together in the Ancestral Star!â
The leftover insect gods were all tired and exhausted, they flew together with the other mother gods out from the insect planet. On the surface of the insect planet, the few insect gods that died of exhaustion were petrified into mountains and the dust of the devastated planet covered them within.
In space, the 24 insect gods and mother gods turned their head and looked at their destroyed home planet for one last eye. As time passed, the burning lava that once crawled over the planet would cool down and ice and snow would soon take over the planet to usher in a new ice age.
One of the mother gods turned her head around and mumbled, âIf we fail, our seeds will be here waiting for the right time to rise and avenge their ancestors. The hatred between us and the Ancestral Star can only be washed away with blood! So long as anyone from the Ancestral Star lays a step on the insect planet, our children will rise and reap their lives!â
âCome, letâs go, itâs time to pay back the Ancestral Star for what they did to us!â
âTwo years at the most, we will be there to wash the Ancestral Star with their own blood!â
â¦â¦
Around the Celestial Wood Star, a star over a thousand miles in radius had fallen into its gravitational field. Zhong Yue quickly adjusted the starâs course and drew it into orbit around the Celestial Wood Star for a few rounds, making use of the Celestial Wood Starâs gravity to further accelerate the starâs velocity.
He was planning to utilize the Celestial Wood Star gravitational field to slingshot the star toward the Ancestral Star.
âThat isâ¦â
Suddenly, the experts noticed the blast of bright rays came from the dark space in the direction of the insect planet.
âDarling, your twelve stars really struck on the insect planetâ¦" Tian Mo Concubine mumbled, âSo beautifulâ¦â
â¦â¦
It was truly a beautiful scene of destruction, like a flower that went into full bloom before it withered.
âItâs really prettyâ¦" The ladies looked at the lights, and their eyes were filled with various emotions, as if they were inebriated from what they saw.
Fang Jiange and Gu Hongzi exchanged a look and saw the shock in each otherâs eyes, they were shocked by the power of the heaven and earth. Although Zhong Yue was the impetus, there was no doubt that this was only possible due to the power of the heaven and earth. The immense velocity and mass of the stars granted it an unstoppable momentum that was the embodiment of total destruction!
âThe insect planetâs speed is stopped by the twelve stars, it wonât be able to fly toward the Ancestral Star anymore now." Zhong Yue calculated in his heart and suddenly, he heaved a breath of relief while smiling.
