304: Chapter 304 The Queen Ant Theory! The Female War Goddess Takes Control of the Starfield Defense Line!

On the Wanxiang Star Domain defense line, the sounds of slaughter intertwined with the roar of various immortal arts.

In the starry sky behind the front lines, a long silence fell between Su Feng and Great Emperor Purgatory.

"What level do you think the so-called Demon Mother Nest is truly at?" Su Feng tapped the armrest of his grandmaster chair and spoke softly.

Great Emperor Purgatory recalled what he had seen and heard in the abyss. After careful consideration, he offered a dangerous conclusion: "It should have surpassed the limit of the Peak Emperor Realm, but it has not yet truly stepped into the Heavenly Emperor Realm."

"Oh? How can you tell?" Su Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at Great Emperor Purgatory.

"Billions of years ago, a supreme Heavenly Emperor who suppressed the Universe once appeared in our Great Thousand Star Domain. To this day, all the domain structures in the Star Domain were established by that existence. It is also what we Cultivators revere as the Heavenly Dao rules."

Great Emperor Purgatory's gaze was profound, as if he were explaining the most fundamental truth of the Universe: "A Saint perceives and borrows the power of rules; an Emperor refines and controls the power of rules; while a Heavenly Emperor... can ignore Karma and directly modify the rules of the world!"

"Although the Demon Mother Nest used some strange method to forcibly modify the Heavenly Dao rules, when the three of us faced it, we could clearly feel that its Physical Body defenses and active attack methods had not reached the inescapable level of 'law follows the word' characteristic of a Heavenly Emperor."

"Yet a single Demon Egg it expelled could erupt with Peak Emperor Realm combat power before it even hatched. From this, we can infer that it is the absolute core of the Realm Demons, but it is not primarily combat-oriented."

Great Emperor Purgatory was very knowledgeable. He looked at the tide-like demons below and gave a deep-voiced analogy: "If I had to describe it... these Realm Demons are more like a massive ant colony. And the Demon Mother Nest is like a high-dimensional Queen Ant! These overwhelming demons are merely the worker ants and soldier ants it has produced."

"But this Queen Ant possesses a terrifying characteristic that ordinary ant colonies do not have—evolvability!"

A flash of wariness crossed Great Emperor Purgatory's eyes: "At the beginning of the war, those demons had extremely low intelligence and only knew how to charge recklessly based on instinct. But now, look at these demons; they know how to form formations and set up ambushes. Even..."

He pointed to a direction on the right flank of the battlefield: "Your Excellency, please look there."

Su Feng looked in the direction Great Emperor Purgatory pointed.

Amidst the heavy Devilish Qi, he discovered a monster with a massive body and a hideous face.

The lower half of the monster was in the form of a warhorse with four hooves, while the upper half was the torso of a demon, but its entire body was covered in sharp bone spurs.

It looked just like a slaughterhouse ragdoll that had been crudely stitched together by someone!

"Is that the Centaur Race?" Su Feng's gaze sharpened.

"Correct, or rather, it is a variant created by the Mother Nest imitating the Centaur Race of the Star Domain!"

Great Emperor Purgatory's tone was heavy: "A hundred years ago, I had never seen this form of monster in the demon camp. But now, not only is its appearance extremely similar to the Star Domain's Centaur Race, but even its charging tactics and power-gathering methods are identical, and its Physical Body is even more monstrous!"

Great Emperor Purgatory pointed to several variant demons wreaking havoc on the battlefield and stated his final deduction, his voice chilling: "I suspect that the Demon Mother Nest has been collecting the corpses of our Star Domain Cultivators, extracting the Origin of evolution from them to constantly improve and enhance the strength of the demon army!"

"They want to completely replicate or even replace us at the biological level! Therefore, from the very beginning, there has been no possibility of mediation or surrender in this war! They do not want territory; they want to replace us!"

Su Feng nodded slightly after hearing this.

He fully agreed with this point. As a veteran hegemon of the Star Domain, Great Emperor Purgatory's overall perspective was indeed unquestionable.

In the Star Domain's time of crisis, he had truly exhausted his efforts to fulfill the responsibilities of an expert.

However, the current situation was indeed quite tricky.

Even Su Feng could not think of a foolproof plan to completely eradicate the Mother Nest for the time being.

Should he have [Shadow of God] charge in alone? Facing that Peak Emperor Realm prismatic demon egg, and perhaps other unknown variant commanders, although he was confident in himself, he could not guarantee he could easily defeat the opponent.

Moreover, after the three of them had stirred up the hornet's nest, the Demon Mother Nest's guard was likely raised to the highest level, and not even a fly could get in.

"Eat one bite at a time, fight one battle at a time. The matter of the Mother Nest will be discussed in the long term."

Su Feng recovered from his deep thought. Looking at the Wanxiang defense line below, which had stabilized under the support of the Su Family's Saint team, he said, "Next, I will call someone to conduct a comprehensive adjustment of your defense line. With her here, the pressure on your side should be reduced a lot."

The demons in the Three Thousand Upper Realms had just been repelled and would not organize a second large-scale attack in a short time. Letting Wu Qin come to the Major Thousand Worlds to moonlight as a tactical outsourcing consultant was fine.

"Adjustment?"

Great Emperor Purgatory frowned slightly. This defense line was something he had built and arranged personally, combining the strengths of all the Daoist traditions in the Wanxiang Star Domain, and he considered it impregnable.

"You will know when she arrives." Su Feng smiled mysteriously and used the Law of Space to open a portal.

"Hum!"

The portal lit up.

A heroic and stunning figure stepped across the Realm.

"Husband!"

Wu Qin was clad in black dragon-patterned battle armor, her hair tied in a neat high ponytail.

She also carried the Emperor-grade Commander's Sword that Su Feng had gifted her at her waist. Having just come down from the battlefield of the Three Thousand Upper Realms, she carried an aura of tangible iron-blooded slaughter.

"Wu Qin, take a look."

Su Feng pointed to the Wanxiang defense line that stretched for billions of miles and asked casually, "What do you think of the layout of this Wanxiang Star Domain defense line? Is there any place that needs optimization or adjustment?"

Upon hearing this.

Great Emperor Purgatory also stood up from the grandmaster chair.

He looked at this female general of the Human Race at the Saint Realm. Although he was surprised by her calm and murderous temperament, he was still somewhat dismissive in his heart.

A battle formation arranged personally by him, a Great Emperor of the Major Thousand Worlds who had lived for millions of years—what could a female Cultivator from the Lower Realm possibly see?

He also wanted to hear what kind of flaws this girl could pick out.

Wu Qin ignored Great Emperor Purgatory's scrutinizing gaze.

She was focused, standing above the Void Realm. Her cold, sharp Phoenix eyes were like scanners, looking down from above to quickly take in the formation, unit ratios, and the charging routes of the demons of the entire Wanxiang defense line.

After an incense stick of time passed.

Wu Qin turned around, her face as cold as frost.

She looked at Great Emperor Purgatory without any euphemism or pleasantries, her red lips parted, and she mercilessly spat out eight words:

"Full of errors and omissions, a scattered mess!"
