Chapter 713 Resolving Doubts
The trauma was immense and takes time to heal.
The death of the Queen Insect, coupled with the massive collapse of the underground farm, caused the capital to lose a stable source of fifth-order evolution resources.
However, after discussions among high-ranking officials in the capital, led by Ye Dingjiang, it was decided not to continue with this type of breeding model.
Even though the intelligence of the evolved creatures was deliberately kept as low as possible, the queen still managed to develop a level of intelligence comparable to that of humans.
Although Ye Dingjiang never minded being a villain in order to make the Dragon Kingdom stronger, and humanitarianism was not important, he dared not try this kind of uncontrollable thing a second time after experiencing the pain it brought once.
As for how to continue evolving and how to solve the food source problem, Ye Dingjiang's answer is:
Seek help from external sources.
Simply put, everyone is returning to the primitive state. After the second spiritual energy revival tide, the new world regions that have emerged are much larger than the original Earth. Some of these regions contain resources, and some contain food.
These high-ranking officials in the capital city were only thinking about protecting everyone, but they forgot how humans climbed to the top of the food chain.
In the capital, there are no longer ordinary people in the strict sense. Before the spiritual energy revival, everyone was a mini-superman. Even in the wild, when encountering evolved creatures or savage beasts of the same life level, as long as they are not afraid of death, most creatures are no match for humans.
Those few individuals who are stronger than humans can only perish with the help of tacit cooperation from humans.
Ye Dingjiang even suspected that the new world that appeared after the second spiritual energy revival tide was actually meant for the original evolved creatures of Earth to hunt.
In short, the New Territories has vast land that can support more than ten million people, or even ten or a hundred times that number.
The only problem is that most of the survivors in the capital are only at the third level, and their mobility is limited.
However, given that the capital city has already cultivated a large number of powerful space-type evolutionists, this is no longer a major problem.
Transporting hunting parties to the outskirts of the capital, then bringing them back after they've finished hunting and regrouped, is a familiar task to the space-manipulation experts in the capital.
Because that's how they transported the pioneering teams and the subsequent cleaning teams back and forth.
Right now, we've increased the workload of this task by a tiny bit.
Aside from the loss of population, the biggest loss for the capital city this time is in terms of top-tier experts.
As expected, after Yang Tianhuang and Kong Xuanzhe, two peak fifth-tier experts, went to support the Demon Capital and had not yet returned, the task of suppressing the underground insect hive was carried out by Song Zhiyuan, Li Hongxu, and Kong Heng, together with Qu Yinmei.
According to the information Cangnian obtained from Qu Yinmei and Zeus's accomplices after acquiring their ghosts, the insect hive rioted first. In order not to harm the queen, Song Zhiyuan and the other two joined forces to suppress it, and sent Qu Yinmei to kill the fifth-order insect race that appeared out of nowhere.
However, Qu Yinmei had long been unknowingly guided and controlled by Zeus using his mental powers. Together with Zeus and the Queen of Insects, she killed the three strongest people in the capital.
Next, the insect came to the ground, and Cang Nian saw what happened next.
In response, Cang Nian could only say that for some people, great power is a poison that can drastically change their personality, and Qu Yinmei is a case in point.
According to Ye Dingjiang, before the spiritual energy revival, Qu Yinmei was just an ordinary girl, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither beautiful nor ugly, and an invisible figure in society.
However, after the spiritual energy revival, she awakened her superpowers, and after rounds of evaluation by a group of experts in the capital, her superpowers were found to have extremely strong potential. As a result, she quickly became the top trainee in the capital, on par with Meng Lan.
She was someone who was previously ignored, but suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. She enjoyed it very much, but because her figure and appearance were not outstanding, she still felt inferior from time to time even though she had power.
However, after she reached the fifth rank, she underwent a qualitative change, becoming able to incorporate her tamed beasts into her body and use their special abilities.
This made her stand out from the crowd of other competitors, and she became the number one young person in the capital.
After reaching the fifth rank, she made her first request to the high-ranking officials in the capital since she came into their view.
Get her an evolved creature that can fundamentally change her body shape and appearance.
This was extremely easy for the top officials in the capital who controlled all the resources of the capital.
Changing someone else's body shape or appearance is a rare ability, but changing one's own is not difficult.
Even the evolved creatures brought from the capital had eaten humans, yet Qu Yinmei felt no guilt in handing them over.
After that, Qu Yinmei hid in her room for two and a half days without coming out. When she came out again, she had a different figure and face. Even her closest people could not tell that she was the same person as before.
However, Qu Yinmei was very happy.
This is her ideal self, the image she has dreamed of becoming in countless days and nights.
With her unparalleled superpowers and impeccably beautiful appearance, Qu Yinmei gained unprecedented confidence. From then on, she wore this full-body mask forever and never took it off again.
However, this also means that she personally killed that insecure self, her true self.
Confidence is followed by arrogance, arrogance by haughtiness, and finally, one becomes disdainful of everyone and undergoes a drastic change in temperament.
As for how much of this was guided by Zeus?
The exact year remains unknown, and Zeus's minions had no recollection of such meaningless events.
In short, this disaster was an unprecedented trauma to the capital, causing enormous losses to everyone from the population to the top experts.
Upon learning of this, Shanghai expressed its sincere condolences.
However, they also sent a representative to Cangnian to seek his help.
After hearing the request from the representative of Shanghai, Cang Nian was both amused and exasperated.
The reason for the request from the representatives of Shanghai was that Cangnian could help Shanghai eliminate the hidden force that killed Ao Hong. Otherwise, although most of the survivors in Shanghai were unaware of this, the high-ranking officials of Shanghai would live in constant fear.
In response, Cangnian instructed these representatives from Shanghai to convey to the Shanghai leadership that they need not worry.
Because, during the battle with Zeus, Cang Nian had seen Zeus use the Space Blade skill that Ao Hong had used.
To ensure everything went smoothly, Cangnian even consulted Zeus's spies and received an affirmative answer.
When Cang Nian went to support Shanghai, Zeus followed far behind.
At the time, it wanted to see if there was a chance to eat Cang Nian, but it found that Cang Nian was always accompanied by dozens of fifth-level experts from the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, so it shifted its target to Ao Hong.
This also explains why Ao Hong, who possessed spatial abilities and was no match for several peak fifth-tier beings, inexplicably perished.
Compared to Zeus's terrifying combat power, Ao Hong's strength is really nothing to brag about.
