The Queen of the Insect Nest seized a moment when Lin Yi seemed unprotected, unleashing the star will's annihilating power, but his undead insect army disrupted her control, causing a devastating backlash that left her plummeting weakened. Insects formed a sacrificial cushion to save her, as she rallied her forces for a desperate final assault on Lin Yi's group. Lin Yi's undead army clashed fiercely while he wielded earth explosives and eternal ice laws, turning the battlefield into a domain of slaughter.

Regardless of the endless elite troops dispatched by the Queen of the Insect Nest, not one could disturb Lin Yi in the least.

The pair of lolis at his side matched his ferocity.

Lethal strikes burst forth with every motion; across the full expanse of Nest Insect Star, no creature could draw near them.

The carnage unfolded with savage brutality.

Yet when facing the Insect Race, such violence felt far more bearable.

This utter one-sided slaughter dragged on for a full day and night.

Innumerable trophies blanketed the entire Insect Hive Star.

Lin Yi himself had lost count of the insects felled in this clash.

Battle halted only when no vital signs remained detectable.

Even the slaying of the Queen of the Insect Nest escaped Lin Yi's notice amid the frenzied bloodbath.

Gazing at the towering pile of insect cadavers, Lin Yi shuddered violently in under three seconds.

The dread from such overwhelming density almost overtook him.

Quelling the churning nausea inside, Lin Yi tuned in closely to the chimes resounding in his ears.

[Congratulations on killing lv480 Bone-Eroding Worm *1, gaining 170,000 experience points]

[Congratulations on killing lv490 Heaven-Reaching Armor *1, gaining 180,000 experience points]

[Attack kills lv460....]

....

Nonstop kill alerts reverberated through Lin Yi’s mind, while experience points poured in relentlessly.

Leveling occurred amid the fray, with Lin Yi’s form aglow in white light dozens of times, ascending levels that many times over.

His current level had soared to 572.

Viewed across the whole Blue Star, this rank defied the heavens themselves.

This surge in power proved mighty indeed, yet a close review of Lin Yi’s feats suggested the gains were surprisingly modest.

Neither Lin You nor Lin Qianqian counted as Lin Yi’s summons.

Their Insect Race kills funneled experience points and loot straight to Lin Yi.

As for spoils, claiming Lin Yi solo eradicated the Insect Hive Star held no hyperbole, though the yields seemed disappointingly sparse.

Lin Yi shut his eyes, probing this planet’s energy with utmost focus.

In this realm, only Lin Yi wielded the Taichu Law, granting him alone the sense of the planetary will’s presence.

Battlefield scavenging and terrain scouting needed no personal touch from Lin Yi; his urgent task lay in deeply sensing and guaranteeing the planetary will’s smooth handover and integration.

As Lin Yi zeroed in on pinpointing the planetary will’s spot, his inner sight abruptly twisted, swallowed by infinite white.

Lin Yi first assumed a swift reunion with Zacks loomed, readying words of thanks, yet the intruder in his vision wasn’t the Upper-Rank God who’d lent aid repeatedly.

The hideous apparition of the Queen of the Insect Nest materialized before Lin Yi.

Calm settled on its features, stripped of battle’s grim tension.

With flickering white radiance, the Queen of the Insect Nest’s enormous body shrank steadily, morphing into a graceful middle-aged woman right before Lin Yi.

Clear relief and composure lit her visage.

Perpetual fretting, trading lives for battle might, issuing commands with dire caution in pivotal instants—the Queen of the Insect Nest committed utterly.

Now vanquished by Lin Yi, curiously, no grudge tainted her look.

"Young man, falling to your hand leaves me with zero regrets. No resentment or hatred toward you; the Insect Hive Star you toppled marks no end to your path."

This terse exchange unpacked volumes of insight.

Furthermore, the clash with the Queen of the Insect Nest highlighted her vast trove of practical knowledge surpassing Lin Yi’s.

Should she opt to reveal it, immense gains awaited Lin Yi.

Her manner hinted strongly at such generosity.

"No helping it, Insect Queen. Bound as we are, our clash was fated, impossible to avoid. Blue Star sages noted, ’Struggle arises from similarity,’ and as four star planets of near-equal might locked together, ceaseless bloodshed looms inevitable."

"My abrupt entry shattered that equilibrium. Short-term, it spells trouble for Insect Hive Star, but long-term, it aids your Insect Hive Star greatly."

"See your state, spawning endless broods of bugs for perpetual killing. When does it stop? Never mind lost offspring; ponder if endless birthing exhausts you."

Lin Yi’s words resonated deeply with the sentiments buried in the Queen of the Insect Nest’s heart.

Her complete lack of resentment toward Lin Yi truly arose from his shattering of the endless slaughter cycle.

Upon hearing this, the Queen of the Insect Nest felt even deeper admiration for Lin Yi swelling within her.

She never imagined a mere human like him could comprehend so many profound rules of this world.

"Heh, being defeated by you was indeed worthwhile."

"Since it has come to this, let me tell you the cruel truth."

"The tree that stands out in the forest will be wind-blown! Take care of yourself!"

With those final words, the Queen of the Insect Nest’s phantom started fading away bit by bit.

Nothing remained except a pair of imposing antennae.

Lin Yi sensed the surging Power of the Creation Law pouring forth clearly from these antennae.

At long last, the creation law item absent from everywhere on Blue Star finally revealed itself.

Lin Yi failed to fully grasp the Queen of the Insect Nest’s words.

Her message offered scant details but hinted strongly that drawing too much attention invited attacks. Figuring out the exact origin of the danger she warned about remained elusive.

Naturally, this brief distraction couldn’t shake Lin Yi’s resolve.

What did ‘the tree that stands out in the forest will be wind-blown’ truly signify?

Possessing such strength, Lin Yi deserved to stand tall with pride, didn’t he?

As the inner vision vanished, a colossal force of the Primordial seized Lin Yi’s attention.

Be it Power of Origin or Power of End, all fused into a chaotic mass visible solely to Lin Yi, inching toward Blue Star’s position.

Everything the Power of the Primordial swept through crumbled into dust.

Upon Insect Hive Star, plants reaching tens of meters in height withered the instant the Power of the Primordial withdrew.

Smaller plants, however, stood untouched, flourishing vibrantly.

This—this was exactly it!

The Eye of All-Seeing’s scan revealed the truth to Lin Yi in a heartbeat.

Stripping away a planet’s will inflicted catastrophic damage; deprived of it, the planet could never birth such mighty creatures again.

The tall plants’ immediate withering as the will departed laid bare the entire truth.
