Chapter 486: Chapter 276: Crimson Absorption

Funnie had been in the Ruins World for some time, feeling both curious and apprehensive about the Creator who was to enhance her.

The Blood Race was a species with an extreme pursuit of beauty, and Funnie was terrified that the Creator coming to enhance her would be some ugly old man with wrinkled skin.

Zhong Yi walked up to the enormous Celestial Craft Ant and reached out to touch the extremely hard bristles on its insect wings.

The bristle was exceptionally hard, covered in small, sharp protrusions that pricked the hand.

According to Fang Ze, every female Celestial Craft Ant on its nuptial flight dreamed of becoming an Ant Queen.

However, as a female ant that had previously been ruled by an Ant Queen, the queen’s authority was deeply ingrained in this particular female’s heart.

It didn’t dare to entertain the thought of becoming an Ant Queen itself.

A Creator’s job was to simultaneously concoct Potions to aid the Celestial Craft Ant’s Bloodline transformation and use their soul to psychologically influence it.

To put it bluntly, it was like using rhetoric and psychological suggestion to rebuild the confidence of a short, chubby kid under five feet tall and over two hundred pounds, with a pockmarked face.

Without changing their original appearance, you had to make them believe they were the most beautiful and handsome person in the world.

For the vast majority of Creators, this was no easy task.

But for Zhong Yi, no preparation was necessary. All he had to do was feed a Soul Taming Seed to this Celestial Craft Ant.

The Soul Taming Seed contained the will of the Soul-Controlling Flower, a will potent enough to compel this nuptial flight female Celestial Craft Ant to rebuild its confidence.

When Zhong Yi had just inspected this female Celestial Craft Ant with All Things Exploration, he discovered that all of its Skills and Exclusive Traits were related to its construction abilities.

They offered no assistance in combat or other areas, but such Skills and Exclusive Traits were the most suitable for a Celestial Craft Ant.

Zhong Yi took out a Soul Taming Seed. The aura it released immediately attracted the attention of both the Celestial Craft Ant and the Blood Race member, Funnie.

Funnie could feel that this seed contained a power capable of transforming her own Bloodline.

But without Zhong Yi’s permission, Funnie could only look pitifully at the Soul Taming Seed in his hand while glancing enviously at the Celestial Craft Ant.

The Celestial Craft Ant, for its part, excitedly lowered its head even further. However, its head was also covered in numerous fine hairs. These hairs were hard and sharp, with the shortest being nearly a meter long.

This made it impossible for the Celestial Craft Ant’s head to get close to Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi immediately channeled his Soul Power and summoned Hong Ji, Ice Glaze, and Lan Po all at once.

He had Hong Ji use a War Puppet, formed from a Blood Thread Puppet, to manipulate a blood vessel to wrap around the Soul Taming Seed and deliver it to the female nuptial flight Celestial Craft Ant’s mouth.

As if on a holy pilgrimage, the Celestial Craft Ant swallowed the Soul Taming Seed.

Zhong Yi, meanwhile, leaned against Ice Glaze’s back. Ice Glaze’s five fox tails, each over ten meters long, formed a soft, fur-lined armchair for him.

Zhong Yi held Lan Po, stroking its soft fur and gently scratching its chin. Lan Po let out a deep, sleep-inducing purr.

Using the Energy Transmission Platform, Zhong Yi exchanged five Divine Origin Value points’ worth of Second and Third Level Demon Remains for the Soul-Controlling Flower all at once.

He piled the mountain of Demon Remains in the Ruins World, allowing the Soul-Controlling Flower to absorb the Life and Soul Energy from them.

Hong Ji then devoured and absorbed these materials after the Soul-Controlling Flower had finished with them.

Hong Ji had never eaten these types of Demon Remains before and was extremely interested in the fresh ingredients.

Besides spending five Divine Origin Value points on Demon Remains, Zhong Yi discovered that the price of a Thousand-Year Forest Core within the Wanyu Creation Company was less than 100 Divine Origin Value points.

The price fluctuated between 60 to 100 Divine Origin Value points depending on its age.

Even a Thousand-Year Forest Core over nine thousand years old was priced at only 99 Divine Origin Value points.

This was an even better deal than the price for a Thousand-Year Forest Core in the Pursuing Light Dragon Palace Treasure Vault.

Outside, a Thousand-Year Forest Core approaching ten thousand years in age would cost at least 220 Divine Origin Value points.

Zhong Yi went ahead and exchanged for three hundred Thousand-Year Forest Cores.

With his remaining twenty-thousand-plus Divine Origin Value points, Zhong Yi exchanged for all sorts of Bloodline materials useful for the Blood Race’s development.

Among them was a production-type, Blood Attribute, plant-based Guardian Beast costing nearly Ten Thousand Points, named the Blood-Brewing Grape Vine.

However, what he received for nearly ten thousand Divine Origin Value points was just a single cutting from the Blood-Brewing Grape Vine.

It required a Creator’s methods to be planted as a cutting and nurtured to maturity before it could bear Blood-Brewing Grapes, which contained pure Blood Attribute Energy.

Zhong Yi felt that with his Flowing Soul Soil, he had the Ability to grow this cutting into a new, individual plant.

Having done all this, Zhong Yi watched with half-closed eyes.

The body of the Celestial Craft Ant that had swallowed the Soul Taming Seed was undergoing immense changes.

Its body grew larger and larger, and the blue on its grayish-blue Insect Armor deepened in color.

The dense, fine hairs that originally covered its body also grew increasingly thicker.

From a distance, the female nuptial flight Celestial Craft Ant, with its Bloodline now evolving, looked like a giant sea urchin resting quietly on the ocean floor.

These hard, fine hairs were so dense that Zhong Yi, sitting nearby, could barely make out the Celestial Craft Ant’s original appearance.

As the Celestial Craft Ant’s Bloodline continued to transform, the Insect Wings on its back steadily shrank, shriveling like tender leaves.

This indicated that the female Celestial Craft Ant was absorbing the Energy within its Insect Wings.

And this was the clear sign of a Celestial Craft Ant awakening its Ant Queen Bloodline and transforming into a Celestial Craft Ant Queen.
