Several days after the exchange event had ended, Lu Ran was sent to the Alien Bug Hive by Gemstone Queen Ying.
This was a triple-benefit gambit.
The Insect Queen took an interest in Lu Ran’s bloodline, hoping to conceive offspring with it and elevate her own strength.
anwhile, Gemstone Queen Ying, having recognized Lu Ran’s extraordinary strength during the exchange event, felt it inconvenient to train Lu Ran personally, given her own capabilities and inherent laziness. Free-riding off the Insect Queen as a sparring partner seed like a good choice.
As for Lu Ran, although he knew of the Insect Queen’s scheming intentions for his bloodline, he was also very interested in this Universe Emperor and wanted to et her.
After teleporting, Lu Ran flew so distance within the territory of the Alien Bug Hive. Suddenly, space-ti around him beca chaotic. He felt as though he was pulled into a new dinsion; aware that it was the Insect Queen’s doing, he did not resist.
Soon, Lu Ran found himself standing in a dark lair. Under the dim halo of light, he saw a staircase leading to a higher floor, connected to a massive bed constructed from Cosmic Level materials. On the bed lay an indescribable bug-like monster, bearing organs from nurous races, making Lu Ran’s scalp tingle.
Fortunately, for ease of communication, the bug creature began reshaping itself, slowly transforming into a unique humanoid insect-like form... of moderate height and slender yet strong build, its skin displayed a unique blend of bluish-purple hues, as if rging the colors of the night sky with dawn, smooth and lustrous.
Beneath the exquisite human face, the queen’s eyes were as deep as the ocean, her lips thin as wings, exuding an indescribable air of allure. On the enticing skin on either side, there were dazzling, starry butterfly wings emitting a captivating glow.
Lu Ran: ?
If the Insect Queen was a monster just monts earlier, she had now transford into an alien bug creature that would appeal to most humans’ exotic preferences, catching Lu Ran slightly off guard. "Wait, sister, I know you want to reproduce, but aren’t you too well-prepared?"
"Human Lu Ran."
"Gemstone Queen has told you clearly, right?"
"You provide bloodline, and we breed offspring."
"And in exchange, I will further enhance your strength, giving you a better performance at the Universal Beast Training Conclave."
The Insect Queen looked down at Lu Ran from her high perch like he was re food, believing this deal to be profoundly gracious for him.
After all, she was not taking Lu Ran’s life, just extracting so essence from his bloodline. At most, he would feel weak for a while, but this trade for her universe-class guidance was a colossal bargain.
However, standing in front of what seed a tempting proposal from the Insect Queen, Lu Ran cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the Gemstone Queen probably also ntioned that more specific terms would be negotiated by personally upon my arrival here."
"Do you have any other demands?" The Insect Queen frowned, lazily lying on the cosmic bed, her hair covering her body, sowhat displeased with Lu Ran’s undue requests.
"Your Majesty, your core racial ability is that the stronger the offspring you spawn, the greater your own power amplifies."
"That’s why you desire my bloodline, to spawn excellent progeny."
"Now, I have another proposal, as I do not precisely wish to have descendants related to myself, even though these offspring wouldn’t require my care or upbringing."
"You’ve changed your mind?" The Insect Queen’s pupils turned red, and a terrifying cosmic-level pressure bore down on Lu Ran, but unexpectedly, even such power failed to cause any apparent reaction from him.
"Your Majesty, hear out."
"I have a plan that can grant you even greater power feedback!!!"
Indeed, Lu Ran finished speaking, but only to be t with the cold sneer of the Insect Queen. To her, a super-level god, even if formidable, had no right to negotiate terms with her.
To discuss terms, she would need the Gemstone Queen’s presence.
Even if the Universe Maintainer arrived today, she was resolute in claiming Lu Ran’s bloodline.
"Your plan, we can talk about it later; let’s first discuss the current issue," said the Insect Queen as she was ready to forcibly extract Lu Ran’s bloodline essence.
As space-ti collapsed, an organ resembling a seven-gilled eel descended from a fissure in space-ti, extrely unnerving as it wrapped around blood, ready to devour Lu Ran.
"Damn it." Lu Ran glared, realizing she was resorting to force.
With weaker strength, one indeed lacked even the chance to speak.
Lu Ran’s expression changed, knowing that without showing so power, normal negotiations with the Insect Queen would be impossible...
Still, facing a Universe Emperor, summoning any Pet Beast or using Infinite City’s Maintainer’s Power wouldn’t have let him contend against her.
Forget about suppression; even contending was impossible.
Although for the purpose of this trade, using the Maintainer’s Power wasn’t a waste, Lu Ran had another card up his sleeve.
"Roar!!!!!!!" Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a Divine Dragon with a dark, shadowy body exuding a chill of death erged from the spatial ripples, using the Death Dragon’s Roar to shatter the seven-gilled eel.
This organ, resembling a seven-gilled eel, instantly withered and aged, losing all signs of life.
The dragon’s eyes were deep and void, seemingly capable of devouring all life. As it descended, the Insect Queen felt space-ti perated with a sense of silent solemnity, as if all life had ceased in that mont.
The Insect Queen’s expression changed.
"Cosmic Level." She got up unbelievably, her hair flying wildly, eyes filled with bewildernt, looking toward the massive black dragon rising beneath Lu Ran’s feet.
Cosmic Level??
This black dragon felt even stronger than the Gemstone Queen.
This human nad Lu Ran, wasn’t he a subordinate of the Gemstone Queen? What was going on, and how could he summon a Cosmic Level Divine Dragon?
Confusion, incomprehension, astonishnt—various emotions filled the heart of the Alien Bug Queen.
anwhile, Lu Ran was also communicating with the Death God Dragon beneath him.
"Hey, Death God Dragon bro, long ti no see. Let’s take you out for so fresh air," Lu Ran greeted.
The Death God Dragon, expressionless.
Having beco a Maintainer, Lu Ran had greeted the Four Great Dragon Gods, acting as batteries within Infinite City a few tis. Entering this new universe, the Four Great Dragon Gods also had their mission, which was to protect the way for Lu Ran and help him beco Cosmic Level.
"This is hardly just getting so air," observed the Death God Dragon, eyeing the Alien Bug Queen before him and feeling this creature was not easy to deal with.
"With you making a scene, at least I’m not afraid this bug queen will overpower ," Lu Ran patted his chest and looked towards the Alien Bug Queen, "Your Majesty, can we negotiate now?"
"Hehe..." The Alien Bug Queen was indeed shocked.
A Cosmic Level she hadn’t known.
She understood.
No wonder she had never heard of the na Lu Ran before.
This guy, most likely, was soone the Gemstone Queen had brought along from another parallel universe.
Even so, just by being a Cosmic 1, trying to act imposing in front of her was far from enough.
"Kid, I admit, you’ve surprised , but..."
"Don’t be arrogant, in that case, both of you co at once!"
"I’ll take it too."
Death God Dragon: ?
While the Alien Bug Queen spoke, her butterfly wings shook, and sothing within her seed to activate a bloodline, her aura escalating steadily, the space-ti fluctuations intensifying. Lu Ran and the Dragon of Death, already feeling sothing off about the Alien Bug Queen, now took a deep breath.
Crack.
White thunder and lightning burst around the Alien Bug Queen, each leap of the lightning seemingly splitting open a new world, creating a dinsion, its terrifying power suppressing even the aura of the Death God Dragon.
Each of the Four Great Dragon Gods possessed a strength not inferior to Cosmic 1, which is to say, the strength of Universe Emperors of this universe.
That the Alien Bug Queen could suppress the Death God Dragon by her aura alone suggested... her strength, perhaps, had reached the second realm of the cosmos, the sa level once possessed by the Universe Overlord Cybos!
This was inconsistent with the intelligence Lu Ran and others had obtained.
The Alien Bug Queen... was this strong?
"You are one of the few who know my true strength," the Alien Bug Queen laughed sharply. In the past, she indeed shared the sa realm, Cosmic 1, as a few other Universe Emperors.
However, many did not know that, by leveraging the bloodline of the Lord of Dreams, she had finally taken that step, reaching the sa realm as Cybos. Although she had never fought Cybos, the Alien Bug Queen no longer considered the usual Cosmic 1s significant.
"Just with your real..." The Alien Bug Queen was just about to continue asserting her dominance, even starting to ponder researching the rule bloodline of this Death God Dragon, but the next mont, her smile abruptly ceased.
"Fusion!" Lu Ran counter-summoned another three Cosmic Level Divine Dragons, each wrapped in terrifying powers of Life, Ti, Space, and the Four Great Dragons of Life and Death Space-Ti appeared, twisting space-ti, fusing into a single entity, an imnse Cosmic 2 presence instantly matching the power fluctuations of the Alien Bug Queen.
Alien Bug Queen: ?
Lu Ran smiled without speaking.
[Lu Ran, don’t get into too much conflict with this Alien Bug Woman. Her bloodline is strange, and this level of strength... suggests she has an offspring whose power is at least on par with hers, even surpassing her! You might handle the Alien Bug Queen alone, but with two of them, even the Creation Dragon won’t stand a chance.]
[Also, this power fluctuation... should be from the creator of the Dream Network, the Lord of Dreams. The Lord of Dreams and the Alien Bug Queen are related by blood!!]
Lu Ran stood on the Creation Dragon, looking at the overloaded Alien Bug Queen, took a deep breath and smiled, "Queen, now, am I qualified to negotiate?"
The Alien Bug Queen wanted to curse out loud. Cosmic 2? Don’t tell her Lu Ran was just that cat’s employee.
"Who are you, exactly?"
Lu Ran smiled slightly, saying, "That’s not important."
Faced with another life at Cosmic 2, the Alien Bug Queen gave up her forceful approach, calmly withdrew her imposing presence, and said, "Alright, I’ll give you one chance. Let hear what kind of cooperation you propose."
Lu Ran replied, "I have a Pet Beast that masters the Power of Reincarnation and Fate, capable of sending any species for reincarnation and weaving their destinies during the reincarnation process, enabling them to gain more potent growth potential than their normal fate trajectory."
"Your Majesty, you have many offspring, but few are outstandingly powerful. Are you interested in sending them for reincarnation anew? With the Power of Six Paths Reincarnation, after their rebirth, each of their potentials will surpass their current ones. In this way, you can gain more feedback. Likewise, my Pet Beast will also receive so feedback during the process."
"Everyone wins in this cooperation."
"Don’t doubt the strength of my Pet Beast. She may be sowhat weak in her usual state, but under my full enhancent, she can also possess a Cosmic Level."
"Even if I randomly designate a street-side common maggot to be reborn as one of your offspring, it will possess Super Divine potential."
Alien Bug Queen: ?
This was Lu Ran’s purpose for coming, to have the Six Paths Flower and the Alien Bug Queen cooperate, one using the other’s high-quality offspring to train the Power of Reincarnation, aiming for Cosmic Level, and the other using the Power of Reincarnation to enhance her bloodline level. Both had a bright future ahead.
However, if the Alien Bug Queen agreed, then her children would have a quasi-mother called "Six Paths Flower," and henceforth, they had to heed not just the Alien Bug Queen’s words but also those of the Six Paths Flower.
