"Say that again?"

Superpower Empress looked at Shi Yu and Buggy, beside herself with anger. She really hadn't misjudged him.

Her contracted subject really didn't have the heart of a strong person. Could this guy really contract the universe?

Uh... Seeing the Empress seemed very dissatisfied, Shi Yu and Buggy immediately said sheepishly, "Just kidding, just kidding. We'll listen to you."

A soundproof barrier was formed between Shi Yu, Buggy, and the Empress.

The Alien Insect Queen smiled, knowing they wanted to communicate privately, and didn't interfere or eavesdrop.

Honestly, from the emotional fluctuations of Shi Yu and the others just now, the Alien Insect Queen could confirm that the other party's surprise was genuine and not feigned.

This was the first time the Alien Insect Queen had met such an easy-going quasi-universe level powerhouse, and she couldn't help but feel emotional.

Inside the soundproof barrier, the Empress stared intently at Shi Yu, wanting to see how he would explain.

"So, you can just randomly acknowledge mothers?" the Empress said. "I feel like you're actually rejoicing."

"This choice is very common, right?"

"This kind of thing is just a title," Shi Yu said. "We won't be affected by this title in any way."

"As long as there are great benefits to be gained, and there's no conflict in ideals, acknowledging a godmother is no different from becoming sworn brothers and sisters. There's no difference."

"This tactic works very well. Let me think, how many 'mothers' have we acknowledged along the way? One, two, three... I forgot. Anyway, they've all helped us a lot."

Empress: ???

"I..." The Empress had expected Shi Yu to be shameless, but not this shameless.

He'd even acknowledged several?

The Empress agreed with Shi Yu's starting point. Indeed, the cosmic sea was now being targeted by both Dark King and Beast King, two cosmic level beings. Among them, Dark King was determined to kill Shi Yu because Shi Yu had contracted a "Purification Star Spirit."

If they were to provoke the Alien Insect Queen at this juncture, no one could withstand the combined force of the three cosmic level beings.

However, she didn't understand why Shi Yu was so casual.

"If the Alien Insect Queen turns against you one day, where will you go as her offspring?" the Empress asked Buggy again.

"Woof. (Shi Yu, Chi Tong, and the Empress once had a group called the 'Flatterer Mom' group.)" Buggy cited scriptures, feeling no pressure at all, completely led astray by Shi Yu.

He who has milk is a mother; he who has poisonous milk is prey.

"Ahem, Buggy means that as long as someone is our enemy, even our own mother can be killed, let alone this kind of mother," Shi Yu said. "Blood ties can't bind us, and besides, the Alien Insect Queen herself doesn't take this relationship seriously. Although we don't know her purpose yet, it's roughly mutual exploitation. Then it depends on who is more skilled in the end. We'll live in peace if we can, but if there are other ambitions, we'll fight to the death."

"So you and I are also in this kind of relationship?" Superpower Empress asked Shi Yu.

"How is that possible?" Shi Yu said. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be interested in becoming a cosmic maintainer, such a high-risk thing. I would have given up time-traveling to the last era and settled down in this era."

Superpower Empress nodded, because she had a contract with Shi Yu, she could tell if Shi Yu was lying.

Although Shi Yu was a person with no morals, no integrity, and a low bottom line, the contract wouldn't lie. At least, the Empress had seen how Shi Yu treated each of his pets, seeing Shi Yu's full dedication to his contracted subjects.

He wasn't deceiving her either.

"This may indeed be its cosmic path, but you will bear all the consequences yourselves. It wants to use your breakthroughs to reach the level of cosmic overlord. If it has other ambitions at that time, it will be even harder to restrain."

"Okay." Shi Yu nodded. "Buggy, if the Alien Insect Queen ever..."

"Woof! (It doesn't matter, I'll take action.)" Buggy said seriously. Acknowledging a mother, it seemed... it seemed like the team's first time acknowledging a mother was when it started.

In order to crack the Ice Dragon Ruins, Shi Yu and the others had to force the Ice Dragon to appear. The whole thing originated from Shi Yu.

Now that they were almost at the cosmic level, they still had to acknowledge a mother. Buggy suspected that its racial talent was really cocoon evolution.

However, Buggy was confident that just like borrowing the power of the Azure Dragon and then mastering the power of the Azure Dragon, it could now borrow the power of the Alien Insect and master the power of the Alien Insect in the future, and then become the strongest.

The soundproof barrier shattered. The Alien Insect Queen's body was like a mountain range. Its purple eyes stared at Shi Yu, Buggy, and Superpower Empress, and it said, "So, have you thought it through?"

"We've thought it through," Shi Yu said with a smile. "It's better to have one more relative than one more enemy."

"Buggy, change your address."

"Woof!! (Mom!!)" Buggy also had no integrity left, only wanting to know how much New Year's money it would get.

The Alien Insect Queen's expression was strange. It should be known that its own offspring feared its power, and didn't call it as smoothly as Buggy did.

"What do we do next?" Shi Yu asked.

"Let's make this clear in advance. This is equivalent to a contract, a mutually beneficial contract. If you are detrimental to them, you will face my wrath," Superpower Empress also said.

The Alien Insect Queen opened its mouth, "I naturally know this. Its basic original race is the lowest level of the insect race, so its racial talent is cocoon evolution."

"However, because its basic race is too weak, even if its bloodline has been optimized countless times, it is still some distance away from a 'cosmic level race.'"

"With its physique, it is impossible to perfectly absorb the nutrients contained in the 'evolution materials' sufficient to support its breakthrough to the cosmic level."

"I am the absolute authority in insect bloodline evolution. You don't need to question it."

"What it lacks now is a skill that perfectly matches its racial talent and can assist its racial talent, as well as a large amount of cosmic level evolution resources."

"For the Alien Insect race, mastering the two devouring skills of 'Infinite Devouring' and 'Ultimate Alien Devouring' allows for the perfect absorption of nutrients. Among them, 'Infinite Devouring' can only absorb nutrients from transcendent resources in excess, while wanting to perfectly absorb and transform the nutrients from cosmic treasure level resources can only rely on 'Ultimate Alien Devouring.'"

"Using 'Ultimate Alien Devouring' to assist its racial evolution talent is the only way it might break through to the cosmic level."

"And I am the only one in this universe who has mastered 'Ultimate Alien Devouring.'"

"In addition, the cosmic treasure level resources most suitable for insect evolution in the entire universe are all in the Alien Insect Nest. Without my help, it will be difficult for you to find all the materials for its perfect evolution."

"Therefore, you will not regret your choice."

This gave him the idea of having Buggy learn the Infinite Devouring ability from Su Su.

This way, Buggy could absorb and digest more nutrients for cocoon evolution.

However, as the Queen said, Su Su's Infinite Devouring, even though it had been upgraded from Limitless Devouring and reached a level of perfection, seemed to only be able to perfectly digest up to "the highest quality of transcendent resources" and not cosmic treasure level resources.

The Ultimate Alien Devouring that the other party mentioned should be the higher-level skill of Limitless Devouring and the higher-level skill of Infinite Devouring.

If only the Queen knew this, then even if he tried to copy it, he might not be able to. Shi Yu could confirm that the power of the skill index, even if it could hide from a transcendent peak, could definitely not directly plunder cosmic level power.

"Why don't you teach Ultimate Alien Devouring to other offspring?" Shi Yu asked. "Hehe, not everyone can learn Ultimate Alien Devouring. This is a technique I created myself, and it requires enduring my bloodline power to learn. However, none of those guys have such qualifications."

"But it's different. Since it can perfectly control the bloodline power of an ancient being from the last era like the Azure Dragon, it can theoretically control my power like it controls the Azure Dragon's power. Moreover, since it's also an insect race, the compatibility will be even higher."

"You can even go so far down the wrong path of Azure Dragon evolution, let alone the correct insect race evolution path now."

"Furthermore, it has you, a special Beast Tamer, to assist it, so the success rate will be higher."

As she spoke, a purplish-red blood drop-shaped crystal floated in front of the Alien Insect Queen. The power fluctuations contained in this crystal were not inferior to the Source of Transcendence born once every 100,000 years.

Cosmic level resources can also be divided into levels in terms of quality.

The low-level ones are undoubtedly the Source of Transcendence dropped from others, the middle-level ones are the Source of Transcendence naturally condensed in 100,000 years, and Shi Yu found it difficult to classify the high-level and top-level ones.

However, he estimated that the Cosmic Tree, the Source of Transcendence condensed by the Empress, and the skill index should all be included.

And this bloodline crystal was roughly equivalent to the second level. Although it was not a cosmic treasure in essence.

"Fusing this will allow it to inherit my bloodline. If it can withstand it, it can learn Ultimate Alien Devouring. After that, with the help of Insect Silk and Ultimate Alien Devouring, you can complete the most perfect evolution."

"As for the other evolution materials you need, come and get them after it learns Ultimate Alien Evolution." After the Alien Insect Queen finished speaking, she issued an eviction order.

"Dark King, Beast King, bloodline fusion, you will face no small number of difficulties next. I hope to see you again smoothly in the future."

"What do you mean?" Shi Yu was stunned.

Superpower Empress said, "The universe is sick because Dark King is playing tricks. It has joined forces with Beast King to try to invade the cosmic sea. Of course, besides wanting to occupy King Planet, this super resource, there's also one thing. Dark King has wanted to harm you since the Source of Transcendence was being fought over."

"If I hadn't stopped it at the time, you would have been captured by Dark King."

"At that time, Dark King was not only wary of me, but also wary of King and the Cosmic Overlord, so it didn't dare to act. But now, it doesn't know what method it used to cause an anomaly in the universe. The combat power of star creatures largely depends on the environment of the universe. King was already weak, but now it's even weaker."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the cosmic sea will face a strong impact after Dark King and Beast King confirm that the Cosmic Overlord will not interfere in this war."

"Damn it." Shi Yu was dumbfounded and said, "Two cosmic levels?"

"And they might be coming for me?"

"As its mother, you can't just stand by and watch, can you? You have to deal with at least one cosmic level," Shi Yu asked Buggy's new mother.

Alien Insect Queen: ?

"I regret to say that the Alien Insect Nest will not participate in the war. Whether you can survive depends on yourselves."

"All I can do is provide it with resources to become stronger, and gift Judy Linter to you."

The Alien Insect Queen clearly didn't want to get involved in the cosmic war.

It would be happiest if King, Dark King, Beast King, and Superpower Empress could all suffer heavy losses.

"Ji!!" Buggy knew that this new mother couldn't be relied on. If it were Dragon Mom... alright, Dragon Mom couldn't be relied on either.

"Princess Judy Linter... what was her identity in her previous life?" Shi Yu suddenly remembered this important question.

"Queen, you probably devoured her, right?"

The Queen looked at Shi Yu and said, "All I know is that her physique is special. When I devoured her, she was already a corpse drifting from the void, just a corpse from the last era, and it also carried a special curse."

"However, it seems that combining a body from the last era with my bloodline cannot create offspring worth nurturing. After carrying it for so long, it turned out to have such poor talent. She's useless now. If you want her, take her."

Hearing that Princess Judy Linter was not killed and devoured by the Alien Insect Queen, but was already dead when she was picked up, Shi Yu looked suspicious. Could this guy be like Shi Yu's pet, with only the body arriving in this era and the soul not arriving?

That's not right.

If there was no independent consciousness, then who opened the era ruins that time?

Or was it a third time-traveler who successfully arrived here but was killed?

However, the person who killed her was not the Queen, but someone else. Shi Yu thought for a long time in an instant, but just thinking was useless. Perhaps he could learn more when he took the Spider Princess to open the ruins.

"Let's go. This cowardly guy won't get involved in the war," the Empress finally said to Shi Yu.

"When I came to the Alien Insect Nest to plunder resources back then, she didn't even dare to fight back," Shi Yu said in surprise.

The next moment, with the Alien Insect Queen's sudden surge of anger, the Superpower Empress took Shi Yu away immediately.

Shi Yu's trip to the Alien Insect Nest could be said to be nerve-wracking, but the result was good.

In the territory of the Alien Insect Nest, the Queen issued a new order, declaring that Beast Tamer Shi Yu would be a distinguished guest of the Alien Insect Nest, shocking the major Alien Insect nobles.

No one knew the result of Shi Yu's battle with the Alien Insect Queen, but the Queen's order contained countless information.

Although Shi Yu had killed countless Alien Insects, the Queen had given the order. Even if there were unconvinced Alien Insects, they could only put aside their hatred or bury it in their hearts.

Even if not all Alien Insects were completely convinced by the Alien Insect Queen, no insect race would dare to rebel against this cosmic emperor on the surface in the Alien Insect Nest.

Holding the bloodline crystal given by the Queen, Shi Yu and the others left the Alien Insect Nest. Although he had obtained this thing, he had to check it carefully before fusing it.

Shi Yu had to have the Gem Cat and the Empress eliminate the drawbacks of fusing the bloodline crystal.

But before that, Shi Yu took Princess Judy Linter to the Vegetable Vegetable Star Territory, to the special ruins guided by fate.

"Ugh." Princess Judy Linter felt dizzy and groggy as she woke up from a dream. After slightly regaining consciousness, she woke up suddenly and looked around in fear.

However, what was in front of her was not the hell she imagined, but a jungle. The Alien Insect Queen was gone, and there was only that familiar young man.

Seeing Shi Yu, the Spider Princess was greatly shocked and said:

"You..."

"You weren't killed by the Queen?"

She tried hard to recall. At the very end, it seemed that the Queen was about to kill her, but at the critical moment, a blue light and a red light came one after another, saving her. After that, she completely lost consciousness.

"You saved me from the Queen's hands?? How did you escape? And how was the bloodline contract on my body解除的," she checked her condition in disbelief, becoming more and more shocked.

"You have too many questions. Anyway, it's not as complicated as you think. It's purely because I have a flexible stance." Shi Yu leaned against a tree and looked at her, saying, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's get down to business. You're finally awake."

"Although I wasn't able to let you pass the 11th floor and there were some accidents, fortunately your bloodline contract has been lifted. Next, according to the agreement, you should help me out, right?"

Shi Yu smiled slightly, looked ahead, and said, "This is where I wanted to bring you. There is an era ruin in this area that can only be opened by specific people."

"In fact, you are its key. I want to use your power to open this ruin."

"There might also be more information about your original identity in this ruin. If you're ready, I'll lend you my power and you can open it."

The Spider Princess was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then said, "Will the Queen still hunt us down?"

"Probably not," Shi Yu said. "Of course, if you want to take revenge on it, it's best to wait until you're stronger."

"I'll help you open the ruin." After she finished speaking, Shi Yu snapped his fingers and said, "That's what I was waiting for you to say."

"Times have changed, open." His eyes were filled with mental fluctuations, and at the same time, a special power appeared on the Spider Princess next to him. Shi Yu's current behavior was equivalent to treating the other party as a key, inserting it into the ruins, and wanting to turn it to open the ruins!

Although the process of finding the key was a bit more tortuous, fortunately the opening process was unusually smooth.

Rumble.

With constant vibrations, the ruins finally opened. This Spider Princess was indeed the third time-traveler. After her body resonated with the ruins, golden light suddenly appeared around her, and a brand new world seemed to be generated.

Buzz!!

However, to Shi Yu's surprise and to the surprise of the Empress who was observing in the dark, there were no special items in this ruin. It looked like there was nothing at all.

However, only the Spider Princess underwent a sudden change after opening the ruins.

First, her aura climbed steadily, quickly rising from the perfect divine level to a transcendent wave. However, this transcendent wave was not the power of the cultivation system of this era, but the power of the cultivation system of the last era.

It was similar to Shi Yu's beast's physical source power.

After she was enveloped by a golden light, a power comparable to the peak of transcendence emerged from her body. This power shocked Shi Yu and also shocked Duckey in Shi Yu's beast space.

Familiar power fluctuations... nature... very similar to the Vajra Demon Subduing Pestle! So, the meaning of the existence of this ruin is to seal the power of the third time-traveler, and even seal part of her memory?

At this time, as the third time-traveler's aura changed drastically, from the poison insect system to being full of holy aura, she slowly opened her eyes again and looked at Shi Yu, saying:

"Amitabha..."

"Thank you, benefactor, for bringing me out of the Alien Insect Nest."

After the Spider Princess finished speaking, Shi Yu was undoubtedly silenced by this guy. He looked at the bald Spider Princess and said:

"You kid, you're actually a little nun?"

"So, you have memories of the last era??"

The Spider Princess said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I have no memories of the last era. After awakening, I only remember the cultivation methods and some precepts of the last era."

"So what's going on? Why did you seal your power and memories here? Why were you eaten by the Queen?" Shi Yu put down his arms that were wrapped around each other. The other party's awakening undoubtedly made Shi Yu raise his spirits by 200%.

The Spider Nun was silent for a moment and said, "I should have awakened earlier than the benefactor. When I came to this era, this era had only been born for a short time."

"With no memories, I wandered aimlessly in this universe, doing what I should do, until a universe era ruin from the last era appeared."

"This universe era ruin contained a cosmic treasure from the last era, left by a cosmic level life form."

"Before the restart of the last era, many cosmic level lives wanted to resist. Among them, one cosmic level life form had the most extreme approach. Since the universe was unwilling to give living beings a way out, then he was unwilling to let the universe restart smoothly. He wanted to completely destroy the universe and make the universe completely disappear."

"He researched a kind of cosmic virus that could accelerate the consumption of the universe's lifespan. Unfortunately, he was one step too late. He could only try to pass on this cosmic virus to the next era."

"This virus is extremely dangerous, and the conditions for using it are harmful to nature. After obtaining this information in the ruins, I originally wanted to recover this virus and seal it again, but unfortunately, someone else got there first, so an irreconcilable conflict arose between us."

"And this life is the current King of Darkness!"

Shi Yu was slightly stunned.

"In the end, I was defeated by the King of Darkness and suffered a curse from that cosmic virus. There was no hope of survival. Although I barely escaped, it was difficult to see hope of survival."

"After self-sealing for countless years, I still couldn't find a way to解除 the curse. Until the last moment, I made a gamble, separating my power, memory, and body from each other. I sent my body to the Alien Insect Queen, a cosmic emperor who was looking for rare species, hoping to rely on its devouring, digestion, and power of giving new life to see if I could be successfully reincarnated and find my power and memory again."

"At that time, only the Alien Insect Queen, who could even devour and transform the source of pollution, had the opportunity to purify the curse on my body."

"Now it seems that my gamble was successful." She smiled slightly and said, "It's just... the current race and attributes are too different from what I expected."

Faced with this little nun, Shi Yu and the Empress were silent. No one expected things to be like this. The Spider Princess said, "Obviously, the reason why the benefactor is looking for me is because the King of Darkness is reusing that cosmic virus to infect the universe, right?"

"After so many years, my strength is still so weak. I shouldn't be a match for the King of Darkness who dominates the universe now. He probably doesn't remember me, his old enemy."

"However, as his old opponent, I am indeed the person who knows the most about that cosmic virus besides him. I have also researched ways to restrain it over countless years."

"If the benefactor needs it, I can share it. At the same time, I can also work with the benefactor to fight against the King of Darkness."

"I see," the Empress said slowly at this time. "The means to cause abnormalities in the universe came from a cosmic level powerhouse from the last era? No wonder it's difficult to find the root cause."

"Little Spider, since you have some research on the cosmic virus, teach me everything you know about restraining the cosmic virus," the Empress said.

"Little Spider..." The Spider Princess's eyelids twitched, and she was also very helpless about being reincarnated as a spiderling. She said, "Please call me Little Nun."

"Add one to my pet?" Shi Yu was also excited at this time and said, "Is it the Buddhist cultivation system? To be honest, my Duckey also cultivates it."

"Let it learn too. It just so happens to be a member of the Abyss Race and can absorb the negative energy of the universe. I can use it for experiments."
