Let's start by analyzing the sun

"Boom!"

The gale was howling.

Yellow sand filled the sky, completely obscuring it.

Cheng Han stared at the halo screen, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The great sand ant's calls also conveyed full excitement.

Cheng Han smiled, "The creeping sand vines we planted in the desert have finally entered their reproductive phase."

On the screen.

A broken corpse of a moth was covered with countless slender vines.

This was a moth insect shot down by a war eagle in the previous aerial battle.

For the creeping sand vines.

This was simply a gift from the heavens.

Within a short ten minutes.

Two creeping sand vines completely enveloped the corpse, greedily absorbing the nutrients within.

After that.

On the surface of each creeping sand vine's tendrils, a large number of tiny particles grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Roughly estimated.

The number was no less than one hundred thousand.

These were the seeds of the creeping sand vine.

Under normal circumstances.

Because the Creeping Sand Realm was too barren, it would take at least half a year for a creeping sand vine to obtain enough nutrients before entering the reproductive state.

But now, with the moth insect corpse supplying nutrients, it was done in ten minutes.

More importantly, the seeds produced by one vine were five times more than in the normal state.

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind swept past.

The seeds separated from the tendrils and rose into the sky with the airflow.

Cheng Han had a smile on his face, "Creeping sand vine seeds are lighter than feathers, and with the help of the gale, they will spread to a very wide area.

"How large the range of the sandstorm is, that's how far these seeds can fly, exceeding one hundred thousand kilometers is not impossible."

"Squeak!"

The great sand ant responded.

It was saying: the farther the seeds float, the better.

From the standpoint of the pan-consciousness.

Sandstorms can efficiently spread seeds, turning it into a great thing instead.

On the screen.

The tendrils completed their mission, quickly withered away, and were then blown away by the gale.

The moth insect corpse reappeared.

The corpse no longer had flesh and blood, only smooth bones and shell scales remained.

Cheng Han glanced at it and sincerely said thank you, "Thank you, Insect of Calamity."

"Squeak!"

The great sand ant echoed.

Five minutes later.

Cheng Han suddenly sensed something and locked his gaze on the great sand ant.

The next second.

An anomaly occurred.

A little bit of dim green light emerged out of thin air and merged into the great sand ant's body.

Its size grew rapidly, quickly swelling up, its body length rising from one meter to about one and a half meters.

Not only that.

Strange vine-like patterns rapidly appeared on the great sand ant's body surface, seemingly containing countless mysteries.

Cheng Han widened his eyes, a huge look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This was obviously because tens of millions of insect corpses provided a huge amount of nutrients, causing the number of creeping sand vines to usher in a leap.

Quantitative change naturally brought about qualitative change.

The ant colony's pan-consciousness, as the collective consciousness of all living beings in this world, had its power increased by a notch, and a change naturally occurred.

Or rather - an advancement.

Cheng Han immediately sensed the evolution of the world's laws and unhesitatingly reached out and plucked at the air.

"Buzz!"

A string vibration sounded.

The law string of the life system emerged out of thin air.

Cheng Han immediately stretched out his finger to pinch the law string, and with the help of this magical object, he more deeply and clearly experienced the subtle changes of the law.

At the same time.

He silently recited a deduction.

Stars emerged.

Another round of halo flashed.

The flood of knowledge washed over again.

Before long.

The evolution of the ant colony's pan-consciousness ended.

The light spots on the great sand ant's body surface dimmed down.

Its form underwent a considerable change.

Originally, it looked like a green sand ant, but now it looked like a sand ant woven from vines.

Especially the two antennae on its forehead, which looked very much like vines, surrounded by a faint green aura.

Cheng Han immediately understood, "In the past, sand ants occupied a dominant position in this world, so the pan-consciousness appeared as a sand ant form.

"Now, the number of creeping sand vines has exploded, and the total amount of their vitality is not much worse than that of sand ants, deeply affecting the ecology of this world.

"The ant colony's pan-consciousness has thus obtained feedback from the world, spontaneously triggering the evolution of the law, and its form has naturally changed."

Cheng Han muttered in his heart, "No, we can't call it the ant colony's pan-consciousness now, we should directly call it the pan-consciousness."

At this moment.

The great sand ant's eyes suddenly became agile, and it quickly crawled a few steps on the sand.

With each step, a cluster of illusory tendrils emerged from under its feet.

Such a scene.

Had a bit of a "step-by-step vine growth" meaning.

Cheng Han's gaze flickered again as he watched.

This was not a transcendent ability, but a higher level of power - the natural manifestation of the law.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The great sand ant called out a few times, mixed with great joy.

It was saying: I have become stronger.

Its calls had undergone a clear change, with a strange sense of haziness, vaguely like the dance of vines.

Cheng Han decisively offered his congratulations, "Congratulations on getting one step closer to the true will of the world."

The great sand ant took a step closer and lowered its head slightly: "Squeak! Squeak!"

This was to thank: Without your full help, I would not be able to get to where I am today.

Its voice revealed a sincerity that had never been seen before.

Cheng Han laughed, "We are friends!"

The great sand ant nodded in a rather human-like manner: "Squeak! Squeak!"

It was saying: Yes, we are friends.

This was not a repetition, but a deep recognition.

In fact.

The pan-consciousness was not without doubts about the so-called "path to the will of the world".

It was only out of the instinct of "wanting to become stronger" that it was willing to try.

Now that it had undergone a transformation, it finally believed in this path and also had complete trust in the human in front of it.

The great sand ant raised its head, looked at Cheng Han, and called out several times in a row: "Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak!"

It was saying: I sense that you are mastering the law, do you need my help?

The birth of pan-consciousness was closely related to the law, so it could naturally sense the existence of the law string.

Cheng Han shook his head and declined: "No need! I have already understood the secret of the law."

After saying that.

He reached out again and plucked at the law string.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a string vibration.

The law string trembled and bizarrely turned into two strings.

The extra string was more important and more powerful than the first.

The great sand ant shook its antennae, its tone carrying a hint of surprise: "This power is a bit similar to my power."

It had no concept of human cultivation and did not know how amazing this was.

It was just happy for its friend.

Cheng Han nodded with a smile: "I borrowed your power."

He repeated the words of the pan-consciousness just now: "I have become stronger."

The first string represented controlling tiny creatures.

The second string represented - gathering.

To put it more clearly, it was to gather the power of tiny creatures into a whole.

The ant colony's pan-consciousness gathered the power of countless creeping sand vines and evolved into pan-consciousness.

Cheng Han discerned the mysteries and finally condensed this crucial law string.

In short.

This was a qualitative change.
