In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Many children and many blessings?

Does having a baby make you stronger?
Upon seeing this talent, Lu Yuan exclaimed that it was heaven-defying.

I was just worrying about the lack of population in Worry-Free City, and then I suddenly drew a god-level talent?
A hellish start?

I will take an endless number of concubines and build a divine ant dynasty!
Did ancient emperors reap the benefits of all living beings?

With the body of an ant, I will end this dark and chaotic world!
What supreme divine body, what ancient clan bloodline, as long as they dare to cause trouble, they will all be suppressed!
Lu Yuan rubbed his hands together, eager to begin a new round of simulations.

……

Black Wind Forest.

In a dimly lit cave.

A large, plump queen ant is lying on the ground, like a ruthless breeding machine, continuously laying large numbers of ant eggs.

These ant eggs are only the size of sesame seeds. Through the translucent membrane, you can vaguely see a tiny ant curled up inside.

As soon as the queen ant lays her eggs, worker ants immediately move them to another burrow for incubation.

The entire production process is well-organized and efficient, comparable to an assembly line.

Inside the hatching cave.

Thousands upon thousands of white ant eggs were laid out.

At that moment, in an inconspicuous corner, a tiny ant hatched from its egg and struggled to its feet from the slime.

"Have I really turned into an ant?"

Lu Yuan looked down at his body and found that his hands and feet had disappeared.

Instead, there were six slender, dark legs.

From his perspective.

Even a single rock is incredibly high, as massive as a mountain!
This made Lu Yuan feel a sense of weakness he had never experienced before.

In the main world.

He is a powerful fifth-tier Sun Overlord who can shatter the heavens and split the earth with a wave of his hand.

But now.

He became an ordinary ant, easily killed or drowned by a bird dropping that fell from the sky!

Become stronger!

We must become stronger as soon as possible!

Lu Yuan's desire for power had never been so strong!

At the same time, some scattered pieces of information surfaced in his mind.

Lu Yuan learned this through information.

The fire ant colony they belonged to had tens of thousands of ants, yet they were virtually invisible in the vast Black Wind Forest.

Compared to other powerful monsters, fire ants have almost no combat power.

However, when fire ants hunt prey, they secrete a special venom that can cause a burning pain similar to that caused by flames.

However, this venom has limited potency, at most harming some small insects.

Even if a swarm of fire ants were to emerge, they might not be able to kill a single mouse.

After all, this is a six-star fantasy world.

Even a random piece of scrap metal would be fought over fiercely by countless people in a lower-dimensional world.

The rats in this world, having been nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for many years, are probably even stronger than the internal energy martial artists in a one-star martial arts world!
"I'm really pitifully weak."

Lu Yuan sighed, forced to accept this reality.

It didn't take long.

Immediately, several worker ants carried food and fed the newly hatched larvae one by one.

Some of these foods were scraps of meat, while others were the pulp of some unknown fruit, containing a trace of extremely faint spiritual energy.

For a normal human being, this amount of food wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.

However, in the eyes of Lu Yuan and his newly hatched ants, it was an extremely rare and highly nutritious substance!
Lu Yuan did not hesitate.

They immediately rushed over and wolfed down the food, trying to swallow as much as possible.

After all, the more you eat, the stronger you grow!
Next.

Lu Yuan was like a ruthless rice-cooking machine, spending his days consciously exercising in addition to eating.

In just a few days, it grew a whole size larger than the other larvae!
But the good times didn't last long.

half a month later.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying, violent tremor came from the cave.

Dozens of robust soldier ants with shiny black carapaces appeared inside the cave, carrying a mountain of flesh on their backs.

The mountain of flesh struggled and writhed, its hairy body resembling a train carriage.

It was a very common caterpillar!

"Kill it!"

One of the giant soldier ants, as big as a little finger, led a group of soldier ants and walked up to the newly hatched ants, giving orders without any mercy.

This is a fantasy world where the strong prey on the weak.

Even a newly hatched ant must learn to fight and forage!

Lu Yuan seemed to be deep in thought as he watched this scene.

In the ordinary world, the queen ant can use pheromones to determine the division of labor among each ant.

But the situation is somewhat different for the ant colony in this fantasy world.

Unlike those worker ants who only know how to bury themselves in work and are born to be beasts of burden.

Soldier ants are responsible for protecting the colony and expanding its territory.

They are more robust, have greater combat power, and possess a high level of intelligence.

The leader of the soldier ants clearly intended to select a group of promising young ants from the newborn larvae to replenish the soldier ants with fresh blood.

"That's something we're similar to in humans."

Lu Yuan understood.

But they were facing an enemy that was so large and terrifying.

All the larvae were trembling with fear and dared not approach for a long time.

Only Lu Yuan and a dozen or so other robust ants mustered their courage and approached the battered caterpillar.

"kill!"

Lu Yuan suppressed his nausea and tried to tear the caterpillar's wound with his upper jaw.

At the same time, while he was tearing open the wound, he also secreted some venom and injected it into the other person's body.

The caterpillar, in pain, rolled around on the ground like a long snake.

Lu Yuan reacted quickly and immediately dodged to the side.

However, several ants were unable to escape in time and were severely injured by the caterpillar!

The fine hairs on the surface of a caterpillar are like sharp, hard spears that can easily pierce the still-developing bodies of young ants.

The caterpillar's colorful skin is like a thick armor, enough to resist the bites of most fire ants.

This caterpillar had already been severely injured by dozens of adult soldier ants and was barely clinging to life.

Otherwise, these larvae alone would not be able to cause any harm to it at all!

Next.

Lu Yuan and the other ants risked their lives and, after a thrilling and desperate struggle, finally succeeded in killing the caterpillar.

As Lu Yuan watched the mountain of flesh collapse to the ground, his eyes glazed over. How long ago was that?

Killing a fifth-tier Sun Lord was as easy for him as eating and drinking.

But now it can't even kill a caterpillar?

Do they need other larvae to help?

"You, you, and you, come with me."

The burly, glossy black ant leader, resembling a soldier ant wearing armor, pointed at Lu Yuan and several other well-behaved larvae.

Under its guidance.

Lu Yuan and several other ant larvae arrived at a cave that resembled a storage room.

"Eat up, this is your reward."

The soldier ant leader generously stated.

But when Lu Yuan saw the food in the cave, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Because what they were were a group of plump, white maggots wriggling on the ground!

While Lu Yuan was still standing there in a daze.

The other ant larvae had already pounced on it impatiently.

In their eyes, this is absolutely the most succulent protein!

"Never mind that, getting stronger is the priority!"

Lu Yuan made up his mind and immediately began to eat heartily.

Although these maggots look disgusting, they do contain a lot of spiritual energy.

After Lu Yuan had a hearty meal.

His body, which was originally rather thin, became much stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was at this time.

The prompt from the will of the heavens then rang out.

[You killed the caterpillar, successfully defying fate and transforming yourself from a listless worker ant into a glorious fire ant warrior!]

You have earned 500 million simulation points!

You have obtained the D-rank temporary talent [Copper Skin and Iron Bones]!

[Simulated rating upgraded to E!]

[Current main storyline progress: 1%!]

【Copper Skin and Iron Bones】: Once this talent takes effect, it can greatly improve the user's physical attributes!

Lu Yuan did not hesitate and immediately chose to use it.

next second.

A beam of white light, visible only to him, descended from the sky and instantly merged with him.

Lu Yuan's whole body crackled and popped, making a sound like popping beans.

When the talent is fully activated.

Lu Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of power rising from the bottom of his heart.

He even felt that he could kill a caterpillar by himself!

According to Lu Yuan's estimate.

His current physique and physical strength are about twenty times that of an ordinary soldier ant, and his strength is comparable to that of a soldier ant leader.

"No matter how powerful the leader of the soldier ants is, he is just a henchman."

"Only by becoming stronger can I reach the queen ant and thus unleash the power of my 'many offspring, many blessings' talent!"

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

For the next two weeks, he worked with the other soldier ants, taking on tasks such as guard duty and patrols.

They also encountered attacks from other ant colonies or wild animals during this period.

Fortunately, thanks to the wisdom and experience gained from several lifetimes, Lu Yuan was able to escape danger each time without any real harm.

And his body became increasingly strong, already as thick as a thumb!

Standing among a group of soldier ants, it is like a crane standing among chickens, appearing exceptionally outstanding.

Even the strongest male ant in the colony paled in comparison to him.

As a result, Lu Yuan became famous and became a well-known strongman.

until a certain day.

A male ant, about the size of a little finger, walked out of the burrow with unsteady steps.

When it saw Lu Yuan, who was much bigger than itself, it stood there stunned for a long time.

He then strode forward, as if he had seen a savior, and immediately introduced Lu Yuan to the Queen Ant.

"Brother, you have a special talent; the queen ant will definitely like you."

as predicted.

When the queen ant saw Lu Yuan's strong and powerful body, her eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and she wiggled her fat tail back and forth, almost drooling.

Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the queen ant, whose limbs had degenerated and who was so fat that she could barely walk.

Although he has rather unusual tastes, surely he wouldn't go so far as to not even spare an ant?
Lu Yuan really wanted to turn around and leave.

But when he thought of his talent for having many children, Lu Yuan stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave the cave.

Forget it.

Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.

It's all the same whether you close your eyes or not.

Lu Yuan sighed, completely resigned to his fate.

Silent all night.

Only a continuous stream of white ant eggs are carried out of the cave by worker ants like a flowing river.

[You have successfully conceived a child, and your physical condition has slightly improved!]

[You have a thousand offspring, all as strong as oxen, and can begin to draw spiritual energy into your body!]

[You have five thousand offspring and have initially stepped into the first realm of cultivation - Blood Refinement!]

[You have ten thousand offspring, your bloodline has mutated, and you have successfully transformed into Fire Spirit Ants!]

……

A notification came from the will of the heavens.

Lu Yuan's strength increased rapidly, and his body trembled as if a door to a new world had been opened.

If his world before was only black and white.

So now.

In his perception, the world is colorful, vibrant, and full of life and energy.

Especially thanks to Lu Yuan's hard work.

The fire ant colony grew rapidly, and the number of fire ants soon exceeded 100,000, resulting in a dramatic change in its overall strength!
Not only that.

Compared to before, these fire ants can actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, and their strength increases much faster than before.

In the past, only the leader of the soldier ants in a fire ant colony could kill a caterpillar by himself.

But now.

Even a single Fire Spirit soldier ant can easily kill a caterpillar.

Moreover, these fire spirit soldier ants, when swarming together, can even hunt wild beasts such as rabbits or mice! (End of Chapter)
