My construction materials are weird

"Something's up?"

On the Genesis Continent, the three elders hadn't left.

This first expedition caused them great concern, and they kept a close watch on the teleportation stone.

Suddenly, the teleportation stone flashed with light.

Heravi was a little puzzled. Returning so quickly?

Has it even been an hour?

Could it be that Wuli Manto and Torahaak didn't listen to him?

He told them to cherish the opportunity to return, and they've already used it?

Heravi, not expecting an accident, was a little angry, waiting to punish the two after they returned.

But!

After a golden light flashed, a broken crystal core flickered dimly.

"Don't go to the Holy Land, it's an abyss, don't go, don't go..."

"Crack..." The crystal core shattered.

The three elders present were dumbfounded. What's going on?

Where are the clansmen?

"Great Elder, it's Torahaak's crystal core, it's already shattered," the Second Elder said, picking up the broken crystal core.

"Did you hear Torahaak's cry just now?" Heravi sensed something was wrong.

"I heard it, saying not to go to the Holy Land, it's an abyss," the Third Elder said.

"I heard it too," the Second Elder said.

"Could it be...?" The Third Elder panicked.

"Don't rush, let me think," Heravi stopped their speculation and calmed down to think.

Twenty-two clansmen went to the Holy Land an hour ago, and after only an hour, one returned, and it was a broken crystal core.

The remaining clansmen didn't return.

Adding Torahaak's last cry, the result seemed obvious.

The clansmen went to the Holy Land, encountered a crisis as soon as they arrived, and then the other clansmen must have died, with only Torahaak barely managing to return to deliver the message.

"This...?" Heravi's floating body trembled.

"Great Elder?" The Second and Third Elders asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," Heravi said, stabilizing himself.

There was no one else present. Two heads are better than one. Heravi needed to discuss this crucial matter with the Second and Third Elders.

"You've guessed it too, right?" Heravi said.

"Great Elder, our... our first exploration, may... may have failed," the Second Elder said.

"Great Elder, we can continue to explore," the Third Elder said.

"Alright, you don't need to say comforting words."

Heravi said, "There's no chance anymore. This time, we used ten years' worth of blood energy. Who can guarantee what will happen in the next ten years, and besides..."

Heravi said worriedly, "Two third-tier experts plus twenty well-trained clansmen went to the Holy Land and were completely wiped out in less than an hour. Adding Torahaak's last words and warning, what do you think will happen if we continue to explore?"

"This...?" The Second and Third Elders fell silent.

Heravi continued, "Moreover, the three Ancestors can no longer withstand this kind of consumption. The war on the front lines is already difficult to sustain."

The evolution speed of the insects is getting faster and faster, and the tunnels they gnaw are constantly getting bigger.

Thinking of this, Heravi sighed, "Heaven, are you favoring the Ancestors or not?"

If you say favoring, the Ancestors were nurtured by heaven and earth and have intermittent innate knowledge.

If you say not favoring, that's also true. It's said that beings like the Ancestors are very safe during their nurturing period, after all, they are favored by the heavens.

But they encountered unreasonable insects, which seem to be the natural enemies of beings like the Ancestors.

They can even gnaw through the energy protecting the nurturing process.

Heravi didn't understand that reversing is the movement of the Tao, and weakness is the use of the Tao.

He didn't understand that danger and opportunity always come together.

He also didn't know that yin and yang are opposed and integrated.

He suffered from a lack of education.

"Prepare the second plan."

After a while, Heravi made a decision.

The second plan was to divert the disaster eastward, letting the insects go to the Holy Land and fight against the strong there, thereby preventing the Kapo clan from being targeted by the insects.

To be honest, Heravi knew what this decision meant.

It meant that the Kapo clan would never have a second chance like this. It was impossible to stand at the top of the myriad races.

It had become a pipe dream.

What exactly the Holy Land is, what kind of existence it is, Heravi is still unclear.

Before, he thought it was an opportunity, but now he knows it's both an opportunity and a crisis.

Although he hadn't seen the strong in the Holy Land himself, the rapid fall of the twenty-two clansmen was something he couldn't do himself.

Unless he borrowed the Ancestors' energy.

But he couldn't always borrow it!

If the strong in the Holy Land were all so strong, and he had to borrow the Ancestors' power to fight the enemy every time, then what was the point of fighting?

Before the enemy died, the Ancestors would be drained.

And choosing the second plan meant that the Kapo clan had lost the opportunity to reach the top, no longer pursuing the Holy Land, and could only develop slowly on the Genesis Continent.

Because the "divert the disaster eastward" plan was to hand over the teleportation stone.

This was a secret known only to the three Ancestors and the three elders.

The teleportation stone was something that any race wandering in the universe would try their best to obtain.

Because it was related to the Holy Land.

As long as it's not in the Holy Land, no matter where it is, it can be called a wandering state.

No place can compare to the Holy Land, where luck gathers, all races compete, and prosperity flourishes.

The teleportation stone was indeed obtained by the Ancestors from the turbulent layer, but there was another secret that ordinary clansmen didn't know.

That is, the things that were competing for the teleportation stone at that time were not only the Ancestors, but also a giant planet-like existence that was chasing after them, and three star behemoths that were no less than the size of ordinary planets.

And that existence is the Zerg mother nest that is currently attacking them.

As for the three star behemoth creatures, they didn't attack the Genesis Continent. It's unknown whether they were solved by the Zerg or had given up the fight.

So, the teleportation stone is the key to the Zerg attacking their clan.

As long as they hand over the teleportation stone, the Zerg will have no time to find their trouble, they will chase after the Holy Land.

This secret is only known to the three great Ancestors and the three great elders.

The reason is that too many clansmen have been sacrificed due to the Zerg's attack. If the clansmen knew that the Zerg's attack was because of this, what would the clansmen think?

Perhaps most of them would choose to hand over the hot potato.

Their civilization is still too young.

"Really going to do this, Great Elder? We can still fight for it."

The Second and Third Elders hesitated after hearing this.

They really didn't want to do this. Handing it over meant that everything before was in vain.

"Perhaps this is not something we should possess. We were lucky enough to get the protection of the Ancestors, and the Ancestors have given us many opportunities, but unfortunately, we can't withstand it."

After being deeply hit, the First Elder felt some sparks of wisdom shining.

Blows and hardships are also important factors in increasing wisdom.

"Yes!"

The Second and Third Elders agreed.

Everything is focused on the Ancestors. As long as the Ancestors' nurturing is not greatly harmed, they still have a chance.

If they don't hand over the divine stone and the Ancestors suffer irreversible damage because of it, then that's called losing everything.

Immediately, the three took the divine stone out of the temple and headed to the front line where they were fighting the Zerg.

There was no time to delay. Delaying even a bit would cause a bit of harm.

Currently, the clansmen need to recuperate, and the Ancestors also need to be in seclusion for nurturing.

If the great battle with the Zerg is not alleviated for a day, the clansmen will continue to die, and the Ancestors will not be able to get better nurturing.

Arriving at the front line.

This is a huge battlefield with no end in sight.

Putting aside other things, because of the Zerg's impact, the Kapo clan has at least one aspect that is stronger than humans.

That is, this kind of great battle between races, this is stronger than humans.

Humans have not yet encountered a large-scale battle of this kind.

Facing the strange and unusual doesn't depend on numbers but on powerful individuals. Humans lack experience in this kind of all-out war.

However, it seems it won't be needed.

Human experts are excessively powerful.

If a top-tier expert can't resolve it, then the entire human race coming wouldn't help.

Humanity's structure is an extremely unreasonable one, on the surface.

The powerful are like gods, while ordinary people can't even defeat a newly born Capo.

After being born, Capo grow to be comparable to entry-level cultivators after a period of time.

This is where they are stronger than humans.

Humans are stronger than the Capo in terms of intelligence.

And the civilization that intelligence has given birth to.

A race with a powerful civilization is the strongest race.

It's not that those with low intelligence and powerful bodies are the strongest races.

Without mistake, one head, one song, one hair, one inside, one appearance, all in one look!

At least in Xuan Huang's eyes, intelligence and civilization are the most important aspects of a race.

With intelligence, one can change all disadvantages, and only with civilization can the flame be passed on.

"Great Elder?!"

The Capo on the front lines, looking at the three elders arriving together, didn't remember sending out a crisis message.

According to the timeline, it would still be half a month before encountering a collapse crisis that would require the three elders to take action. Why did the three elders arrive early?

"How is it?" Herawi asked.

"Great Elder, everything is currently stable. We are constantly fighting with the insects. The next explosive impact from the insects will be in half a month."

"Good, I understand," Herawi said.

Herawi hovered in the high sky, looking at the tragic scene in front of him, where insects and clansmen were dying every moment.

One wave of exhaustion replaced by another, like a never-ending meat grinder.

Seeing this scene, Herawi, after this blow, suddenly became much more open-minded.

He thought: perhaps letting go is also a kind of relief.

He didn't have this thought before, but now that he's let go, it seems not bad.

Although he seemed to have handed over the Godstone, the clansmen can breathe, and the clan can recover. Isn't this also a kind of gain?

If Herawi were to meet the Minghui Great Monk of Qingyun Mountain at this time, the two might have something in common to talk about. Perhaps, under Minghui's persuasion, Herawi would become the first gaseous life Buddhist.

Of course, if he met Jiutong, Jiutong would also teach him the Taoist principle of taking a step back, and the sea and sky would be vast. Being a foreign Taoist wouldn't be bad either.

If he met Yan Lai, Yan Lai would spit in his face. What is this? Can't you even endure?

We Confucianists are too good at this. Do you know what it means to lie in firewood and taste gall? Do you know what it means to bury your head and develop? Do you know what it means to retreat bravely?

What if he met Sun Hui?

The Martial Dao Alliance had long recognized those military strategists and famous generals as people of Martial Dao, so there was no need to say more about the books of military strategy and wisdom.

So what is civilization?

What is wisdom?

This is a partial manifestation of civilization and wisdom.

Herawi is very conflicted at this moment.

But as things stand, there is no other way.

"Pay attention, in a while, the Second and Third Elders and I will go to the front line. You and the others will lead your subordinates to retreat, and then..."

Herawi suddenly paused: "After that, perhaps there will be no more insect attacks."

The Capo experts present were puzzled. What did this mean?

Everyone looked confused.

"Alright, no need to understand, just do as I say."

Herawi stopped the clansmen from seeking knowledge.

It's better not to say some things too clearly. Saying them too clearly is not conducive to unity and will also make the clansmen endure the torment he just went through.

And it's easy to cause chaos. It would be bad if something went wrong at this time.

"Yes!"

The experts agreed.

"Go!"

Herawi glanced at the Second and Third Elders.

The three flew tacitly to the front line.

And the high-level officials also began to issue instructions according to the Great Elder's instructions.

"Boom!" "Clang!" "Whoosh!"

The front line is the most tragic place. It's not quite a river of blood, because the Capo don't have flesh and blood.

The insects' flesh, blood, and bones are secretly collected by the Capo, but more of them are collected and transported away by the insects themselves.

This is the nourishment for the newborn clan brothers, and when sent to the Mother Nest, it will continuously turn into new brothers.

"Whoosh!"

Herawi, who had arrived at the front line, didn't hesitate and looked at a giant insect as tall as a mountain opposite him. This was the central intelligence brainworm of the insects here.

Connected to the Mother Nest outside the passage, it was like a huge signal base station, not only the brain of the insects here but also a source of signals, gathering more intelligence.

It was a pieced-together mid-stage Tier 3.

That's right, a pieced-together mid-stage Tier 3.

It can only be said that the insects are too magical. Their will can even be pieced together and still be able to command as if it were an arm.

And this pieced-together Tier 3 seems like it, but in reality, each individual has not transcended, so it will not lose control.

Not to mention whether there are means to prevent loss of control in the Mother Nest.

Just this pieced-together Tier 3 can differentiate into thousands or condense into a powerful existence.

Including power and intelligence.

It saw the arrival of the three elders, and its huge eyes, like glass covers, showed a thinking expression.

"Insects, your purpose has been achieved, you have won."

As Herawi spoke, he threw a miniature Godstone towards the giant insect.

Immediately, the insect brain received an urgent call from the Mother Nest.

"Get it, get it, retreat, retreat."

Like a mental shout, it echoed in the giant brainworm's mind. This was the Mother Empress's command.

It was the highest command of the insect race.

"Squeak squeak!"

The ear-piercing fluctuations, regardless of whether you can hear the sound, will echo in the mind and soul.

It was the brainworm issuing the command.

Immediately, the entire insect army stopped attacking and quickly formed a mountain-sized sphere, enveloping the Godstone thrown out by Herawi.

Sure enough, the insects' goal was the Godstone. Seeing the insects' actions, Herawi was certain.

"Insects, the Holy Land is not a true Holy Land. It is a place where experts are like clouds and a abyss for the weak. Are you ready for extinction?"

Herawi began to induce a verbal attack.

He suffered heavy losses going to the Holy Land, and this damned opponent, the insects, could not have it easy either.

He must stimulate them, whether it works or not, he will start with a verbal attack.

The brainworm did not move because the new Mother Nest command was to remember everything Herawi said.

"Although you are very strong, don't forget that you are only one of the myriad races, and the Holy Land is a stage for the myriad races to compete for hegemony. There are countless who are stronger than you…"

"…That's right, the Holy Land does have the divine ability to allow the myriad races to evolve to the peak, and it is full of energy and opportunities, but there are also countless experts. Are you really ready?"

"Zzzzzzz—"

Every word of Herawi's was quickly transmitted to the Mother Nest by the brainworm.

On the other side, the Godstone wrapped in the giant mountain sphere was being guarded by the strongest insect army and escorted into the passage.

Outside the energy layer of the Creation Continent.

A huge beast body was suspended, a planetary-sized corpse.

And not far from it, a dark sphere larger than a typical star exuded a faint black light.

This was the center of the Mother Nest.

"Holy Land, Holy Land!"

A fluctuating sound slowly came out, like a huge storm sweeping through this space-time.
