While I am in Reality, I Can Enter the Singularity Universe

48: Chapter 48 Fireflies and Cicadas Join the Second Race War!”Participate, we definitely have to participate!”

”This racial war may seem incredibly dangerous, but it also holds vast Opportunity. If we can seize it, we will definitely gain substantial rewards!”

Li Shaoheng’s voice was indifferent yet resolute as he glanced at the creature who had spoken.

This was the far north of the Origin Continent, where the temperature was lower than elsewhere and the number of creatures was relatively small. Li Shaoheng’s second Transmigration had made him a member of the ”Firefly” race!

Relying on his superior Cultivate talent, he had spent thirty or forty days evolving from an ordinary firefly to an [F-level] life form!

Because of this, he had united the fireflies of the far north and become the undisputed ”Firefly King”!

The firefly standing before him, half as tall as a human leg, was naturally not a native of the continent. His name was ”Song Ren,” and he was also a [Destined One], though his ranking was low and his talent was average.

After his Transmigration into a firefly, Song Ren willingly submitted to Li Shaoheng’s lead, aiming only to contribute enough to earn sufficient destiny coin when the death settlement arrived.

On a platform built of dead branches and fallen leaves atop an eight-meter-tall poplar tree, Song Ren spoke again with some hesitation:

”King, you are our strongest combat force, but you are only [F-level]. We fireflies are not naturally good at fighting. Rashly joining this cruel war might risk us being wiped out!”

”Opportunity is like pulling chestnuts from the fire; how can one reap great rewards without paying a price?”

Li Shaoheng shook his head and said decisively:

”Enough, go down and make the arrangements. Take all our fireflies that have reached [G+ level] combat strength. We... are marching against the Ant Race!”

”Understood!”

Song Ren said no more, flapping his green wings as he flew from the top of the poplar tree toward the wooden nests nearby.

Li Shaoheng stood up from the wooden platform, walked to the edge of the poplar platform, and gazed into the distance toward the east of the continent with eyes like torches.

It was early morning, and even though it was far away, he could still vaguely see the racial slaughter unfolding there!

Under Wang Zhen’s long-term planning, the Ant Race was developing at an extremely fast pace. There were more than twenty Black Ant King alone at the [F-level]!

Not to mention the vast number of ant soldiers, and the Ant Queen body of Wang Zhen that suppressed all ”Alien Kings”!

”According to existing clues, it has been less than two hundred days since the last racial war ended on the Origin Continent. The Black Ant Tribe, which was almost wiped out back then, has now made a comeback... If there is no ”Advanced” intelligence governing the Ant Race, that would be hard to explain!”

Li Shaoheng’s compound eyes revealed a trace of deep thought.

”From a timeline perspective, this is definitely not the ”masterpiece” of any Destined One!”

”There is only one possibility... an Advanced intelligent species has been born within the Black Ant Tribe!”

”And it was born very early. Perhaps not long after the supernatural descended upon the Origin Continent, it accidentally underwent Awakening and possessed terrifying intelligence comparable to a human!”

”In the real world, ants are controlled by the queen through ”pheromones.” Could it be that the ”Ant Queen” of the Black Ant Tribe underwent Awakening and gained Advanced intelligence?!”

Li Shaoheng pondered for a long time, gradually gaining insight, and formed a rough judgment regarding the high-level combat power of the Ant Race!

However, he actually had another question in his heart: could there also be Destined Ones who had Transmigrated into the Ant Race?

”Regardless, this war is not just a contest of one’s own supernatural means; it is also an Opportunity to refresh the Destined One leaderboard!”

Half a minute later, Li Shaoheng put aside his distractions, and his mind gradually settled.

Last time he Transmigrated, he only ranked fourth on the contribution leaderboard, which had always been a thorn in his side. Now, this racial war was the best Opportunity to climb the rankings again!

With a thought, he looked at the four-dimensional crystal panel before him:

[Destined One: Li Shaoheng] [Destiny Number: 004] [destiny coin: 0] [Race: Firefly] [Evolution Direction: Light Burst (Can emit a powerful, scorching green beam for a short time, causing the enemy to temporarily lose their five senses)] [Strength: 14] [Agility: 16] [Physique: 12] [Spirit: 15] [Overall Life Rating: F]

”My Physique is still a hair short of successfully advancing to [F+ level]...”

Li Shaoheng put away the four-dimensional panel and gazed toward the eastern part of the continent again.

”Slaughter is the best supernatural training ground. I imagine it won’t be long before I can truly step into the next life level!”

Just then, Song Ren flew back to the top of the poplar tree and reported to Li Shaoheng:

”King, the strong ones of our Firefly race have finished gathering!”

”Very good—!”

Li Shaoheng turned around and looked at the top of a slightly shorter poplar tree not far away, where more than thirty green fireflies, each the size of a kettle, were waiting for his orders.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then his voice was filled with murderous intent:

”Set off, march against the source of evil—the Ant Race!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

It was like a breeze had picked up. Led by Li Shaoheng, the strong ones of the Firefly race quickly left the far north of the Origin Continent and flew toward the east.

The advantage of air units was still very strong. After approaching, Li Shaoheng did not choose to join the battle immediately but hovered in mid-air, fully focused on the battlefield situation.

He saw that in the dense grass forest, which was taller than a person, five or six Black Ant King were leading more than ten thousand ant soldiers in a bloody slaughter against more than ten types of ”Alien Races” blocking them!

The corpses of the creatures on the ground were piled high, like small hills, covering the grass forest and turning this place into a hideous and terrifying land!

The biological units on both sides seemed unaware of death, filling the gaps one after another, biting and fighting each other again.

Of course, the races blocking the Ant Race were mainly small ground animals, with very few air units participating.

The Ant Race’s territory was mainly on the ground, making it difficult to directly affect the living environment of air species.

”Jumping spiders, grasshoppers, locusts, frogs, mantises...”

”Although they have all entered the supernatural, their intelligence does not seem very high. How could they have gathered and integrated together?”

In mid-air, Li Shaoheng stared at the great battle below for a long time, struggling to find any species that looked like an intelligent life form.

”King, their resistance is not a human factor, but a kind of unconscious instinctual ”alliance” formed after their survival territory was infringed upon!”

Song Ren seemed to see Li Shaoheng’s confusion and spoke up proactively.

Li Shaoheng still had classes to attend, so he did not have much time to enter the Origin Continent. However, Song Ren was different; he was basically ”conscious and online” around the clock and had a considerable understanding of the situation of various races on the continent.

”I see. I was wondering why they were so united.”

Li Shaoheng nodded.

”King, a team of air units is flying toward here!”

Suddenly, Song Ren discovered something and said with some surprise:

”This is... the Cicada race from the mulberry forest?!”

”Huh, this Cicada race is interesting. Are they also here to participate in the Second Racial War?”

Li Shaoheng turned his head to look and soon realized the intentions of the dozen or so powerful cicadas flying in from afar.
