Let's start by analyzing the sun

The Mirage Sand World.

Inside the underground cave.

After the pile of divine remains was lit, all sorts of incredible phenomena occurred.

For example:

"Ah~"

"Woo~"

"Awoo~"

A large number of miserable wails came from the raging divine fire.

They sounded illusory yet real.

Yet, one could not cover their ears to block them out.

These wails seemed to resound within the soul.

The Great Sand Ant was startled, and couldn't help but shake its antennae and take a step back.

Another example:

As the divine fire danced.

Strange changes occurred in the surrounding space, as if it had become extremely distant, yet also close at hand.

Faint ripples also appeared in the space, seemingly hiding great terror within.

The Great Sand Ant sensed danger and squeaked, taking another step back.

Another example:

The flames looked quite scorching, and the skin could feel the heat, but the soul felt an unspeakable bone-chilling cold.

The Great Sand Ant couldn't quite bear it, and retreated three steps in a row.

Cheng Han glanced at the Great Sand Ant and explained, "The essence of the divine remains fire is the power of法則. It interferes with the laws of the world, which is why strange phenomena occur."

The Great Sand Ant was immediately relieved: "Squeak!"

However.

Cheng Han's next sentence made the Great Sand Ant's heart rise again.

"The principle of this secret method is somewhat similar to divine fire body tempering. Only by淬炼the soul with divine fire can one stimulate the potential of天赋."

The Great Sand Ant's scalp tingled involuntarily upon hearing the words "淬炼the soul".

It wasn't a clueless newbie, so it naturally knew what this meant.

The soul was an extremely fragile existence, and the taste of 淬炼the soul was entirely imaginable.

This was definitely torture.

Especially when using divine fire to 淬炼it.

The Great Sand Ant hesitated, turned to look at Cheng Han, and cried several times: "Squeak! Squeak!"

It was asking: My friend, you seem to be undergoing divine fire body tempering, how do you feel?

Cheng Han thought about it and didn't hide anything: "Very painful, it feels like the soul could be annihilated at any time."

Many strong individuals, after igniting the divine fire, couldn't bear the pain of divine fire body tempering, either regrettably stopping there or forcibly trying to brute force it, resulting in their souls being burned to ashes.

Upon hearing these words, a pair of jade-like eyes flashed with fear.

This was very normal.

Creatures that knew it was painful and still enjoyed it were perverts among perverts.

The Great Sand Ant was not a pervert.

Cheng Han didn't speak or urge it, but quietly waited.

After a few seconds.

The Great Sand Ant cried again: "Squeak? Squeak?"

It was asking: My friend, you survived divine fire body tempering, right?

Cheng Han nodded: "Yes."

He also showed the effect of divine fire body tempering.

With a thought, Cheng Han immediately emitted a faint glow, and his body underwent subtle changes.

From an extraordinary perspective.

Every inch of his skin carried an unspeakable sense of transparency and crystal clarity.

His aura also became as deep as an abyss, as if he could mobilize the power of the entire world with every move.

The Great Sand Ant glanced at it and cried out in a daze: "Squeak?"

It was asking: Is this a divine body?

Cheng Han replied with a smile: "It's just a semi-finished divine body."

He paused and added, "If you undergo divine fire 淬炼, your future potential can reach a higher level."

The Great Sand Ant gritted its teeth and made a decision: "Alright!"

It raised its head high and strode towards the divine fire altar with an air of heroic sacrifice.

Cheng Han quietly watched this scene.

Five seconds later.

The Great Sand Ant's body touched a wisp of divine fire.

The next moment.

"Squeak!"

The Great Sand Ant screamed, its whole body trembling violently, and it fell directly to the ground.

Its skin instantly turned pitch black, looking like charcoal, and渣渣 kept falling off.

In that instant.

The Great Sand Ant was burned beyond recognition.

No.

It should be burned beyond "ant" recognition.

From this, it could be seen.

How powerful the divine fire was.

Cheng Han shouted at the right time: "Immediately circulate the secret method, stabilize the soul form, and resist the divine fire 淬炼."

The black "charcoal" sand ant struggled to get up, and a burst of green light flashed across its body.

Subsequently.

A tug-of-war began.

Each time the green light flashed, the Great Sand Ant's skin would recover.

Each time the divine fire flashed, the newly recovered skin would turn into charcoal again.

This cycle repeated.

Cheng Han watched for a while and sighed inwardly: "I hope the Great Sand Ant can hold on."

Using divine fire to 淬炼 the world意志 was absolutely unprecedented.

No one had ever thought of doing this from ancient times to the present, let alone done it.

According to the推演 results of the All-Knowing Eye, the success rate was only fifty-fifty.

In short.

It all depended on the Great Sand Ant's意志.

*

Somewhere in the vast desert.

Star衍神将 was squatting on a sandy ground, staring at the ground without blinking.

To be precise.

He was not looking at the sand, but at the Mirage Sand Vines hidden within the sand.

Originally, as a神将of尊, he was usually busy with myriad affairs and had no time to pay attention to a small vine plant.

But he knew about the various deeds of the Mirage Sand Vine, and also knew that the Mirage Sand Vine helped the ant colony's collective consciousness晋升into a world意志, so he had a great interest in this thing.

At this time.

Star衍神将's divine eyes flickered, and the perspective instantly underwent a wonderful change.

The thick layer of sand instantly turned into a virtual state, and then disappeared.

A large number of extremely thin sand-yellow藤丝, with a diameter much thinner than a hair, appeared.

Their color was exactly the same as the sand, and they were so thin that they were almost indistinguishable when mixed in the sand layer.

This was undoubtedly a natural camouflage.

Star衍神将 only glanced at it, and a look of surprise immediately flashed in his divine eyes.

Because he saw a huge network.

That's right!

The scale of the Mirage Sand Vines could be described as "huge".

As far as the eye could see.

Every corner of the sand layer, from the surface of the sand dunes to a depth of several kilometers, was covered with dense藤丝.

Star衍神将 stood up and turned to look at a hill in front of him.

The sand immediately disappeared.

A high mountain composed of vines appeared before his eyes.

Whichever direction he looked in, there were slender藤丝.

Star衍神将 couldn't help but mutter, "Are the Mirage Sand Vines everywhere already?"

He retracted his gaze and muttered again, "The war with the insect swarm has been going on for so long, and countless insect corpses have provided a huge amount of nutrition, so it's not difficult to nourish so many Mirage Sand Vines."

Perhaps only the Great Sand Ant knew how many Mirage Sand Vines there were in the Mirage Sand World.

Together, they formed an incomparably huge and extremely complex super network.

It might even extend to every corner of the boundless sea of sand, and to every place in this world.

Previously.

Star衍神将 found it a bit difficult to understand why a small vine could give birth to a powerful world意志.

But at this moment.

He completely understood this point.

The神将 thought of the information revealed by the主神先生, and sighed, "In just over two years, he completely改造a small world. He truly deserves to be a主神-level expert."

Star衍神将's heart suddenly stirred.

A星盘 phantom flashed from behind him.

"Click!"

"Click!"

The sound of the pointer turning followed closely.

The next moment.

With the神将 as the center.

Within a radius of twenty meters, the flow of time underwent a magical change.

All the Mirage Sand Vines in the area instantly began to age rapidly.

First, the epidermis dehydrated and dried up, the color of the vines changed from sand yellow to brownish yellow, and then to blackish gray.

After a few more seconds.

Many cracks appeared on the surface of the vines, and finally they broke inch by inch, turning into a pile of渣渣.

This was clearly a powerful secret method to control the flow of time.

On the surface, these Mirage Sand Vines looked extremely weak and simply vulnerable.

But Star衍神将 was shocked.

He stared at the渣渣, his expression quite subtle: "In the case of severe lack of nutrition and moisture, the Mirage Sand Vines can actually survive for twenty years.

"The spore particles split from the Mirage Sand Vines can survive for up to a hundred years. This thing's vitality is so tenacious."

Regarding this.

Star衍神将 had only one comment: "What an amazing method!"

The survival ability of the Mirage Sand Vines was so strong that it only meant one thing - conventional methods could hardly clear them.

Even the浩劫insect swarm probably didn't have a good way to deal with the Mirage Sand Vines.

Star衍神将 roughly saw the thoughts of the "Mirage Sand Vine creator": "主神先生 probably wants to cultivate some powerful species to resist the breeding ability of the浩劫insect swarm."

The logic here was not difficult to understand.

If there were some species that could compete with the insect swarm for nutrients, then the insect swarm's rate of expansion would definitely slow down significantly.

Judging from the performance of the Mirage Sand Vines, 主神先生 had obviously achieved considerable results.

Star衍神将 couldn't help but show a look of admiration: "The浩劫insect swarm only just emerged more than two years ago, and 主神先生 started planning at that time."

He couldn't help but feel admiration for this long-term planning ability.

However.

The insect swarm was not a real solution.

Star衍神将 shook his head slightly and muttered, "If I were the Eleventh劫, I would definitely destroy the Mirage Sand World."

This was the ultimate trump card of the浩劫insect swarm.

No matter how great the threat of the Mirage Sand Vines was, as long as the Mirage Sand World was destroyed, their threat would naturally disappear.

Just then.

Star衍神将 suddenly turned his head and looked at a canyon in the distance.

That was the passage between the two sand dunes.

Because the sand dunes of the Mirage Sand World were extremely huge, with heights often reaching several kilometers, such canyons were very long.

Soon.

A team of figures, about twenty or so in number, walked out of the wind and sand.

They were wearing uniform uniforms, holding a magic gun in both hands, and their eyes were double-pupiled.

Obviously.

This was the Green 箩 人团.

That was the vassal团 of the 万昊 race.

Or rather - the cannon fodder团.

To this day.

The number of Green 箩 soldiers fighting in this world had exceeded 250 million.

In the ground battlefield and the underground battlefield, the Green 箩 people had made great sacrifices and also made great contributions to resisting the 浩劫insect swarm.

Star衍神将 looked around, monitored the sand layer, and immediately locked onto an underground building.

He murmured, "So there is still an underground哨所 over there, I didn't notice it just now."

The神将 stood motionless in place, observing these alien soldiers with great interest, and eavesdropping on their conversation.

"A large-scale air battle has just ended. This patrol should not be dangerous. At most, there will be a few stray bugs."

"The sandstorm is coming soon. After we finish this patrol, let's quickly go back to the underground哨所 for dinner."

"It seems that there is a big braised goose supply for dinner. I had it once last time. This thing is so delicious."

"Old San, you're making my mouth water."

While chatting, a group of people suddenly began to argue.

"Speaking of which, although the 万昊 people's system is a bit harsh, the food they provide is really good."

"Yeah, even the wealthy people living in the high-rises of the 天塔树 probably can't have big fish and meat like us every meal."

"Hey, can you guys be a little more promising? This is the fish and meat we earned with our lives, and it's also what the 万昊 people should do."

Star衍神将 had never been in contact with the Green 箩 soldiers at the bottom, and this was a rather novel experience for him.

The argument continued.

"Fighting for the lords of the upper echelons of our race, we can't even eat a few meals of meat a month. I think the 万昊 people are not bad."

"I heard that the Green 箩 界 has also been attacked by bugs. If we were still in our hometown and didn't have such good weapons, I'm afraid we would have died long ago."

"If we die in battle, our family will also receive抚恤金, and it won't be a problem to eat and dress warmly."

"You bunch of useless guys, the 万昊 people just use a little favor to buy you off. You are the shame of the Green 箩 race."

"Come on, what shame or no shame? You can't even eat a few meals of meat a year in your hometown. Is that the Green 箩 race's glory you're talking about?"

Overall.

Although some Green 箩 people held grudges, most Green 箩 people were not very dissatisfied with the status quo.

Star衍神将 couldn't help but reveal a faint smile upon hearing this.

After a few seconds.

The topic became a bit unbearable.

"Report to the隊正, I want to shit, can you guys wait a moment?"

"I also want to poop a little."

"Damn it, you guys hurry up. I'll give you a hundred breaths of time. If you don't finish, just shit in your pants."

Star衍神将's face twitched, and he muttered, "The discipline is too poor."

The dignified神将 naturally had no interest in paying attention to ordinary people shitting, and he was about to shift his attention.

But the next second.

The神将 changed his mind.

Because he heard a sentence.

"This desert is truly magical. You can take a dump anywhere, and it'll quickly decompose, leaving no trace behind."

The Star Evolution God General's heart stirred, vaguely realizing something.

He glanced at the desert, a strange thought popping into his head: "So, the boundless sea of sand is being used as a natural toilet by the army?"

The voices continued to drift over.

"Yeah, it's the same if you throw away food scraps. After a while, there's nothing left."

"Sometimes I feel like this desert is a living monster, and one day it will swallow me whole."

"Are you thinking too much? The higher-ups have already said that it's just some invisible filaments eating things, and they pose no threat to us."

"That's what they say, but who knows if those filaments will mutate and their decomposition ability will become even stronger?"

The Star Evolution God General heard the word "mutate," and it was like a thunderclap in his mind.

His expression changed, and he murmured, "I think I understand what the Lord God is doing in the desert, what the next step of the plan is."
