Chapter 285: The Terrifying Bug Nest

In the Main God’s Space, Chen Xiao’s thoughts were equivalent to the Main God’s own thoughts. Now that the power of the Main God’s Space had increased, Chen Xiao’s thoughts within it were truly those of the Main God.

That little guy, Xi Xi, was instantly awakened when struck by these thoughts. A trace of fear flashed in his pale golden eyes.
The Main God’s thoughts!
Xi Xi could clearly sense that the thoughts Chen Xiao had used to communicate with him were indeed those of the Main God—otherwise, it would have been impossible to awaken him from his self-imposed seal.

“Could it be that this guy is actually the Main God? Pretending to be weak while actually being a threat, manipulating the world from behind the scenes?”
Xi Xi’s mind raced rapidly. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
“Hmm, this space contains countless worlds and plenty of treasures. Only the Main God could afford such grandeur.”
Xi Xi blinked. “Anyway, it’s not bad to follow him for now. At least I’ll have something to eat and play. Hey, if he dares to throw me back to that terrifying place again, I’ll just wait until I find my sister and let her beat him up.”
He made plans in his mind. Soon, that massive presence descended once more, throwing him out of the Main God’s Space.

“Hmph, scaring him just now should have given him some sense,” Chen Xiao thought, feeling slightly uneasy upon seeing Xi Xi emerge. This cat was like a child—once coaxed properly, he could become an incredible fighter at Chen Xiao’s side.
“Hmm, Chen Xiao…” Xi Xi carefully observed Chen Xiao and noticed that there was no energy fluctuation around him, not even a trace of life force.
“I really can’t see through him. His strength is far beyond mine. A true hero doesn’t accept losses right in front of them…”
Xi Xi made up his mind. Then, a smile appeared on his lips, radiant and bright.
“Brother Chen Xiao, is there anything?” Xi Xi looked at him affectionately, changing the way he addressed him.

Seeing Xi Xi like this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but shiver. But he realized that Xi Xi was now scared of him.
“Brother Chen Xiao, I’m hungry…” Xi Xi blinked his big eyes, looking at Chen Xiao pitifully while patting his round belly.

“…”
Chen Xiao was helpless. “Forget it. You’d better stay in the Main God’s Space.”
Hearing this, Xi Xi obediently nodded and let Chen Xiao put him back into the space.

Immediately, Chen Xiao’s thoughts summoned an ocean filled with countless fish. Xi Xi cheered and dived in.
“Ah, it seems closing the door on the cat at critical moments works. If he stays out now and doesn’t cause trouble, I should be grateful.”
Chen Xiao shook his head slightly. His body was once again surrounded by a trail of light as the power of the Main God’s essence was fully activated, causing him to vanish into the void.

…

The further Chen Xiao progressed, the more patrol teams he encountered. All of them were at the level of true gods, which amazed him.
“Finally, I see the Primordial Spirit God…”

Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s gaze sharpened, and his body came to a halt as he carefully hid in the void. On a floating meteorite sat a man in purple robes, with two purple, lightning-bright elemental spirits swirling behind his head. It was actually an Elemental Spirit God of the second rank—and one with extremely powerful lightning-based abilities. Against an Elemental Spirit God of the first rank, Chen Xiao was confident he could avoid detection, but he couldn’t guarantee the same against one of the second rank. The gap between a first-rank and a second-rank Elemental Spirit God was like that between a first-tier supernatural being and a true god—one in the heavens, the other on earth. The difference between each rank of divine beings was terrifyingly vast. A second-rank Elemental Spirit God could even eliminate a hundred first-rank ones with just a wave of his hand. The two were incomparable. At that moment, the man with purple robes and hair had his eyes tightly closed, while the two lightning-bright elemental spirits behind him emitted terrifying fluctuations, seemingly monitoring every move around them. Chen Xiao was at least a hundred thousand miles away from this Elemental Spirit God, yet even from such a distance, he could sense those terrifying elemental fluctuations. Chen Xiao stopped instantly—moving any further might have drawn the guy’s attention. “If I achieve divine soul status now and fully unleash the power of my primary divine form, I won’t have to fear him.” Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Under the influence of that second-rank Elemental Spirit God, he might have nowhere to hide. “Forget it. I’ll enter from another direction.” His body moved swiftly, disappearing from that void and reappearing elsewhere. “Damn it! Thirteen second-rank Elemental Spirit Gods have joined forces to encircle this space…” After what seemed like a long time, Chen Xiao reappeared, his face showing a hint of helplessness. Thirteen second-rank Elemental Spirit Gods had formed a sphere, enclosing this space at its center. Now, Chen Xiao was certain that the so-called space-time seal was inside. … “Hm?” Suddenly, the man with purple hair sitting on the meteorite opened his eyes. A fierce purple glow flashed in them as he stood up immediately. “Damn these bugs! They’ve broken through the seal again… It seems this space-time seal won’t hold much longer.” Gritting his teeth, the man transformed into a streak of lightning and rushed toward the center. At the same time, the other twelve second-rank Elemental Spirit Gods also opened their eyes and headed there. Meanwhile, the patrol teams scattered across the universe flocked in from all directions, following those thirteen Elemental Spirit Gods inside. “A great opportunity!” Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up. His body was once again surrounded by a trajectory, allowing him to blend in with those patrol teams. Hidden among a group of true gods, it was impossible for them to detect his presence. As soon as he entered the sealed area at the center, Chen Xiao gasped in shock. This space was filled with countless bugs—far more numerous than the army of bugs he had gathered before.

Even compared to these insects before him, the previous army of insects was nothing but a puddle in front of the ocean—utterly insignificant.
“That’s…”
Chen Xiao already saw, amidst the dense swarm of insects, an incredibly huge honeycomb, resembling a star, with countless insects coming in and out of it. He even saw that the godly golden insects he had previously tamed were also present in large numbers, forming terrifying armies.
“Can these insects be resisted by just the thirteen Second-Level Yuanling Gods?”
Chen Xiao blinked. Perhaps just their sheer numbers were enough to overwhelm and devour those thirteen Second-Level Yuanling Gods. This terrifying quantity could no longer be measured in hundreds of millions.
“If I could tame the leader among these insects… wouldn’t I become invincible?” Chen Xiao stared at the honeycomb-like nest among the insects, drooling continuously.
At that moment, the expressions of the thirteen Second-Level Yuanling Gods were extremely grim. More and more insects were emerging from the seal, and this time, they had even reached the nest itself. Who knew how many more such terrifying nests existed within the seal? These insects were beyond their ability to handle.
“Damn it! Where did those old guys who guarded the seal go? How could they let such terrifying creatures escape from the seal?” A sharp flash of lightning appeared in the eyes of the purple-haired man. With a roar, his entire body transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed into the swarm of insects.
In an instant, under the power of his terrifying lightning, entire groups of insects were reduced to dust. The power emitted by the Second-Level Yuanling Gods was still beyond the reach of these ordinary insects.
“Kill!”
The other twelve Yuanling Gods hesitated only briefly before charging in as well. Their goal was clear—they were heading straight for the insect nest.
Even the patrol teams and true gods rushed forward without hesitation, diving into the swarm.
“Do they… disregard life and death?”
Chen Xiao was stunned by this scene. Gods should be supreme, looking down upon all beings with endless lifespans. But now, by charging into this terrifying army of insects, they were undoubtedly seeking death!
Chen Xiao couldn’t understand their actions. In the mortal world, many ordinary people would risk their lives for certain reasons, but gods, more than any other beings, should understand the true meaning of life. Yet he couldn’t explain what was happening here.
“It seems the gods who guard this seal weren’t chosen casually.”
After some thought, Chen Xiao also rushed into the army of insects. His goal, like those of the Yuanling Gods, was that enormous insect nest, resembling a star.
“Gah!”
Suddenly, warnings emanated from the massive insect nest, and three blood-red insects, each the size of the moon, emerged from it.

“A bug at the Yuanling Divine level…”
Chen Xiao’s expression instantly turned extremely grim. At this moment, those three bugs were already fighting alongside the thirteen beings at the second stage of Yuanling Divine. These blood-red bugs were extremely terrifying; each of them had a blood-red halo surrounding them, which was their Yuanling.
Although they were only at the first stage of Yuanling Divine and far inferior to those at the second stage, their defensive power was incredibly strong, making it impossible for the beings at the second stage to break through their defenses.
