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

Taiyue Mountains.

Valley of All Insects.

This is the time of year when the sun is at its most intense.

The scorching sunlight pierced through the dense foliage and shone into the mountains, causing the poisonous fog that had shrouded the valleys year-round to dissipate.

That's when.

The ant army, which had been waiting outside the valley for a long time, immediately launched an attack!

Accompanied by a rustling sound.

One after another, mutated mountain-shaking demon ants, each larger than a rat, took the lead and stepped into the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects.

These mountain-shaking demon ants are enormous, covered with a thick layer of armor.

Its defenses are strong enough to withstand the bites of most small poisonous insects.

Not to mention.

They also incorporate the genes and bloodlines of poisonous ants and sawtooth ants.

Its sharp upper jaw is like a sickle, capable of easily biting a steel plate in two!
Behind the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ants were swarms of Fire Spirit Ants, numbering in the hundreds of millions.

Although these fire ants are not as strong as the former, they have the advantage of large numbers.

A dense, black mass; their sheer number alone could kill many high-level poisonous insects.

Followed by.

Under Lu Yuan's orders.

The ant swarm swept through the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Insects.

Whether it's scorpions, leeches, or toads—these are all tiny, venomous creatures.

Whether it was a golden-legged centipede several meters long or a ghost-faced spider as big as a millstone, they all became food for the ant tribe.

After all, although these venomous insects contain potent toxins, they are almost ineffective against the sheer number of ants.

Moreover, all the ants are fearless and indifferent to pain, and will only faithfully carry out Lu Yuan's orders. No matter how heavy the casualties are, they will not retreat even a step!

With Lu Yuan, the Unfettered Realm Ant King, also in charge, the entire battle was almost a one-sided massacre.

A few hours later.

As dusk settled in the west, the sky gradually darkened.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, which was originally home to countless poisonous insects, snakes and ants, is now littered with corpses and remains.

The entire valley, inside and out, was thoroughly swept clean by the ant army!
The surviving Mountain-Shaking Demon Ants and Fire Spirit Ants were busy carrying the wounded and food back to their nests.

Although Lu Yuan lost more than 30 million ants this time, his gains were equally enormous.

The corpses of various poisonous insects alone could feed the ant tribe for more than a month.

Besides.

Lu Yuan also harvested a large number of spiritual herbs and rare treasures.

These medicinal herbs are ancient and of great value.

If you were to take any one of these plants out and put it in the outside world, it would cause countless cultivators to scramble for it.

If Lu Yuan can absorb and refine these spiritual herbs.

Not only will their strength improve further, but they might even be able to take this opportunity to enter the fourth realm!

According to the cultivation level of this realm.

A powerful being in the Free and Unfettered Realm has undergone a tremendous change in their life level, and can eat the clouds and drink the dew, and travel ten thousand miles a day.

Such beings have transcended all things.

With every gesture, they can unleash tremendous power capable of moving mountains and overturning seas.

The fourth realm is also known as the Nirvana realm.

This is because cultivators at this level can break free from the constraints of bloodline and aptitude, achieving a sublimation and leap in their life level.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a complete transformation, a rebirth and a change of destiny.

Moreover, for Lu Yuan...

The most important point about the fourth realm is that...

Nirvana Realm demonic beasts can also reshape themselves and transform into human form!
This also means.

Once he reaches the Nirvana Realm, he can shed his ant-like body, regain his human form, and then find a mate with a stronger bloodline.

"Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and their various sects produce countless outstanding geniuses and holy maidens."

"A saintess with unparalleled talent is definitely worth more than hundreds of queen ants!"

"If I could marry more holy maidens and fairies, my strength would definitely increase even faster."

Lu Yuan's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, eager to immediately step into the Nirvana Realm.

Next.

He entrusted all the affairs of the ant tribe to his several offspring.

He himself began a new round of cultivation.

I will not leave this place until I attain Nirvana!
……

Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like an arrow.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep in the Taiyue Mountains.

A Fire Spirit Ant Queen, as thick as an arm, lay on a small hill.

His entire body was bright red, and his limbs were trembling, as if he were enduring some unbearable pain.

The immense medicinal power within his body was almost overflowing, exceeding his own limits and threatening to spiral out of control at any moment.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang.

Lu Yuan's six long legs exploded, turning into dust and dissipating into the air.

The uncontrolled drug's effects were like a flood bursting its banks, rampaging through Lu Yuan's body and blasting his abdomen, torso, and even head out of his body.

to the end.

Only a faint golden divine soul remained, floating in mid-air like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it would be completely extinguished at any moment.

Nirvana changes destiny.

These four words are simple to say, but incredibly difficult to put into practice.

I want to transform from a mere ant into a primordial being.

The hardships and dangers he had to endure were probably only known to Lu Yuan himself.

The entire process was extremely dangerous, with only a few close calls and the soul could be destroyed!

But Lu Yuan never uttered a sound from beginning to end, silently enduring all this pain and transformation.

He tried his best to activate his divine soul and communicate with the power of heaven and earth.

However, compared to the vastness of heaven and earth, his power was far too insignificant. No matter how much effort he exerted, he could not summon even a trace of the power of heaven and earth.

Moreover, the potential of the "ant tribe" is too low, and they have inherent major flaws.

Some divine beings, favored by the heavens, possess incredibly powerful bloodlines and can resonate with the Great Dao from the moment they are born.

What right does Lu Yuan, a mere ant, have to be favored by heaven?
at this point.

He didn't wallow in self-pity; he just kept trying.

As his soul grew increasingly ethereal and dim, on the verge of dissipating.

A faint, strange power suddenly descended from the sky and merged with his soul.

next second.

Lu Yuan's consciousness soared, and he felt a warm sensation all over his body, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace.

In this wondrous state of harmony between humanity and nature.

He felt as if the clouds had parted and the fog had cleared, bringing sudden enlightenment.

The divine soul, which was about to dissipate, is now growing rapidly and has become incredibly strong and solid once again.

at the same time.

Within a radius of ten miles, all the spiritual energy seemed to be drawn by some force, transforming into an energy tide that converged on this place.

The immense power of the earth intertwined, outlining a skeleton.

Then, surging life energy gathered and grew veins and flesh on the white bones.

The wind flowing between heaven and earth blew into Lu Yuan's chest, turning into a torrent of blood that surged within him like rivers and seas!
What is a complete transformation?

This is a complete transformation!
What is rebirth from the ashes?

This is rebirth from the ashes!
After this body grew skin and long, black hair.

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out like lightning, leaving long trails in the void!

"After three years of simulation, I have finally achieved the innate body!"

He clenched his fists, his eyes brighter than ever before.

Compared to the Realm of Freedom.

Those who reach the Nirvana Realm undergo a qualitative transformation in both their strength and their level of life.

Ultimately, the most intuitive point is...

Nirvana Realm demonic beasts can use the power of heaven and earth to reshape their bodies and transform into innate beings, even improving their innate constitution and aptitude. Therefore, demons at this level are also called Great Demons by humans.

On the surface, Lu Yuan was no different from a human.

But if you look inward, you'll find a tiny ant crawling in his mind.

The ant was only the size of a fingernail, and its entire body was formed from spiritual energy.

The body is solid and lifelike, appearing extremely dynamic.

And that is his soul.

Although great demons in the Nirvana Realm can transform into human form, their souls remain unchanged.

If you want to know a person's background.

One can easily know the other person's identity and background simply by looking at their soul form.

"Since the souls of different races are different, is it permissible for humans and demons to intermarry?"

"Will the child born be human or a demon?"

A sense of worry arose in Lu Yuan's heart.

Although intermarriage between different races is very common in the main world.

However, the situation is different in each world plane.

For the past few years, he has stayed within the "ant tribe" and has had no contact with the outside world.

If there is reproductive isolation between humans and demons in this world, then things will get really interesting.

"Let's go back to Ten Thousand Insect Valley first, check on the situation of the ant tribe, and then try to find out information about the outside world."

Lu Yuan shook his head, putting the matter aside for the time being.

He had been away from the ant nest for half a year in order to break through to the Nirvana Realm.

Before leaving home, he solemnly instructed the "ant tribe" to keep a low profile and focus on developing their skills stealthily.

Although these ants have developed intelligence, it is limited to simple communication and interaction.

Who knows if they'll cause any trouble if we leave them alone for so long?
Think of this.

Lu Yuan lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his whole body transformed into a golden rainbow, flying into the distance.

……

Valley of All Insects.

This place is shrouded in poisonous miasma year-round, and almost no one dares to set foot here.

But at this moment, more than a dozen powerful figures were rapidly moving through the jungle, as if they were chasing after someone.

And ahead of them.

A ragged young girl, pursued by a mob, was forced to flee into the depths of a valley in a panic.

The girl had an exquisite face and an ethereal temperament. Just from the expensive and gorgeous blue dress she wore, one could tell that she came from an extraordinary background.

But now she was covered in mud, her bare feet treading on rotting leaves and soil, her beautiful eyes, like autumn water, filled with terror and despair.

"Stop right now! This is the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, a deadly place. Do you really want to die, you bastard?"

An elderly man in gray robes shouted in a booming voice.

But upon hearing this, the girl not only did not stop, but actually sped up a bit.

“Princess Mingyan, we have been husband and wife, why must things have come to this?”

"As long as you obediently come back with me to complete the engagement ceremony, I can let bygones be bygones for what happened today."

"Otherwise, if you offend my Xuanqing Sect, even your Yue Kingdom's royal family will be implicated!"

A young man in purple robes threatened in a chilling tone.

Today should have been his wedding day.

However, Liu Mingyan, as his fiancée, secretly ran away from the wedding, causing him to lose face in front of all the guests and his sect.

The young man in purple robes clenched his fists, his face turning ashen with rage.

He secretly made up his mind that once he caught that bitch Liu Mingyan, he would make her wish she were dead!

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingyan trembled and slowed her pace.

The Xuanqing Sect is one of the most powerful sects in the surrounding area, and many secular dynasties depend on it for survival.

Its sect is not only full of geniuses, but also has a multitude of powerful figures.

There are even rumors that a fifth-realm expert is in charge.

If the Great Yue Kingdom offends the Xuanqing Emperor, the entire Yue royal family will likely be punished.

But when she thought about it...

Her so-called father had never cared about her and her mother since she was a child.

Even when his mother died in bed, the other party never asked her a single question.

On the surface, she is the seventh princess of the Great Yue Kingdom.

In reality, she was a concubine's daughter who inherited the lowly bloodline of a half-demon, and she suffered various forms of exclusion and targeting from others since childhood.

With the tacit approval of the other princes and princesses, even an ordinary palace maid could make things difficult for her in every way!
In order to establish a relationship with Xuanqingzong, the Da Yue royal family did not hesitate to use her as a tool for a political marriage.

He never cared whether she lived or died!

Think of this.

Liu Mingyan's previously wavering gaze once again became incredibly firm.

Even if she dies in the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, she will never go back and marry the young man in purple robes!
As soon as she stepped into the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, a dense poisonous aura surged in from all directions.

This poisonous fog was extremely fierce and bizarre; even if she held her breath, the poison could still seep into her bloodstream through her pores.

Almost instantly.

Liu Mingyan's face turned bluish-purple and black, and black blood dripped from her nostrils. She was clearly poisoned and would soon die from the poison.

But she never stopped, and instead, despite her staggering body, she escaped into the depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects.

"Senior Brother Lin, should we still chase after them?"

A disciple of the Xuanqing Sect stopped outside the valley and couldn't help but ask.

"Lin Hao, forget it. The Ten Thousand Insect Valley is extremely poisonous, and even cultivators at the Shackles Realm dare not venture in."

"That bitch is poisoned; she definitely won't live to see tomorrow."

The old man in gray shook his head, unwilling to put himself in danger.

He is only half a step into the Free and Unfettered Realm. If he rashly steps into it, who knows what changes might occur?
Moreover, a lowly half-demon is not worth such a huge risk for him.

"Damn it!"

As Lin Hao watched Liu Mingyan walk further and further away, he felt his anger burning ever brighter, and his chest felt like it was about to explode.

Enraged, he slammed his palm into a nearby mound to vent his anger.

He was a cultivator in the Shackled Realm, and a single strike in his rage could split mountains and shatter rocks.

The mound exploded with a deafening roar, instantly killing countless ants hiding inside.

"These ants are very strange. Why have I never seen them before?"

The old man in gray exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked at the sound.

The dead ants on the ground were all the size of a thumb, and what amazed them even more was...

These ants actually possessed a pure spiritual energy within their bodies!
"They're just a bunch of ants, what's so strange about them?"

Lin Hao snorted coldly.

He was in a fit of anger and had no interest in caring about ants.
However, it was after that hill was leveled that it became a prairie.

The fire ants, located deep underground, mistakenly believed that there was an invading enemy and immediately crawled out of their anthill to attack Lin Hao and his companions.

"A bunch of ants, how dare they act tough in front of me?"

Lin Hao laughed in anger.

His fiancée's elopement was already a huge disgrace, but now even a bunch of ants dare to bar their teeth and claws at him?
Do you really think he's easy to bully?
In his rage, he immediately formed hand seals and threw out several fireballs.

These flames are formed from the convergence of spiritual energy, like maggots clinging to bones, igniting upon contact and capable of melting gold and breaking iron, possessing terrifyingly high temperatures.

Accompanied by a series of crackling sounds.

Hundreds of thousands of fire ants were engulfed in flames and instantly burned to ashes.

The fire was fierce, and thick black smoke billowed out.

The air was filled with the smell of burning flesh and blood.

But the next moment.

Swarms of fire ants crawled out from the depths of the cave, rushing towards Lin Hao and the others like a tide!

"Lin Hao, this is not right. We should not stay here any longer."

The old man in gray frowned slightly, sensing something amiss.

Why are there so many ants near Wanchong Valley?
But as soon as the old man finished speaking, he saw a horrifying scene.

Suddenly, countless mutated mountain-shaking demon ants, each as large as a rat, appeared nearby.

It stretches across the mountains and plains, boundless and endless.

For an instant.

They were trapped in a vast ocean of rivers and seas made up of ants! (End of Chapter)
