2546 The Insect Egg That Hasn’t Hatched in Millennia! If Lin Yuan’s promise to them was true, the alien insects could develop even faster than they had ever before. All the insect empresses knew what the limiting factor in their development was. The main limiting factor was that the only way to obtain vitality in the alien insect world was to consume other alien insects. It was a curse that prevented the alien insects from progressing. Even after millennia, no insect empress had been able to break free of this curse holding the insects down. But with one promise from Lin Yuan, the curse that had trapped the alien insects for millennia was broken. The ever-composed Mexa could not help but kneel down on the Abyss Great Emperor’s palm as she thanked Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan pulled Mexa up to her feet and said, “It looks like you are always thinking about the alien insects. You are smart enough on your own. There might be six dimensional worlds like the alien insect world, and I have already taken control of five of them. “I like to pick smart people to help me manage the dimensional worlds. Let me give you an opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities. If you do well in helping me to manage the alien insects, the chance to reach the Afterlife Realm will go to you!” Mexa had been sufficiently detailed when she described the alien insect world. She also added her own thoughts when Lin Yuan probed further. When Lin Yuan spoke with the insect empresses, Mexa had distinguished herself from the other 13. There was no reason for Lin Yuan not to pick Mexa. If he made her a promise now, it would motivate her to work hard for him. “Mexa, there should be something special about the alien insects’ legacy, right? The other dimensional worlds only have around one to two pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators, but the alien insect world has four. Is this due to a special legacy?” Lin Yuan spoke plainly to Mexa. She would answer his questions quickly if she was fully loyal to him. If she was unwilling to speak, it would mean that Lin Yuan had picked the wrong person. An insect empress was the peak power in the alien insect world. There was no way she would not be aware of a special legacy. Mexa understood what Lin Yuan meant. Even if it was not a special legacy, Mexa would clarify this to him. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 Frankly, Mexa had been waiting for Lin Yuan to ask this question. Even if Lin Yuan did not ask, Mexa would have told him about it first to prevent Lin Yuan from misunderstanding. “Lord, the insects indeed have a special location for inheritance. The leaders of the insects have secure positions. Thus, there are no cases of mutiny, and historical records are very clear. The inheritance ground existed for as long as the alien insects have. “The two Endless Gems you mentioned were not placed there by alien insects. They have always been embedded in the stone tablet at the inheritance ground. We can’t dig out the two gems for fear of damaging the stone tablet. “40,000 years ago, an insect empress wanted the two gems for herself and tried to make a grab for them. As a result, she damaged a corner of the stone tablet. The senior generation of insect empresses decided to strip her of her role, leaving her no different from a male insect despite being a female insect.” From what Mexa said, the senior generation of insect empresses had essentially castrated this empress for trying to steal the Endless Gems and damaging a corner of the stone tablet. Just as Lin Yuan was about to conclude that the stone tablet made the inheritance ground special, Mexa continued. “In actuality, the two gems and stone tablet are meant to protect an egg that’s hatching. However, it’s as though this egg is stillborn as it has never shown any signs of hatching. “But one thing is for certain. There is weak vitality existing within the egg. The alien insects’ sacred pond is next to the stone tablet, and the egg is soaking in that sacred pond. After every ten days or so, we sacrifice almost 1,000,000 alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks to the sacred pond. When a queen is worthy of promotion, she will be assessed by elite insects. Once her worth is proven, she will have the chance to soak in the sacred pond for a day to help with her accumulation and replenish her energy.” Shock spread across Lin Yuan’s face. Alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks were offspring left over by male insects who forced themselves on male insects. There was no way that female insects would treat such offspring well. Alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks were the most despised group of alien insects. From his conversation with Mexa, Lin Yuan could tell that alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks were treated like sinners. But this was not what shocked Lin Yuan. What shocked Lin Yuan was that almost 1,000,000 alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks were sacrificed to the sacred pool every ten days or so. The massive amount of vitality accumulated over millennia had yet to enable the insect egg to hatch. Lin Yuan was very curious about what this insect egg was. He could be certain that it was related to the legacy of the alien insects. Perhaps the writing on the stone tablet would explain the history and background of this insect egg. When she caught sight of Lin Yuan’s curious expression, Mexa hurriedly explained, “Lord, the current generation of insect empresses believe that a large amount of vitality is triggering the signs of life in the egg and that the egg is actually already dead. “There are unique words written on the stone tablet. The words are not in the language of the alien insects. We tried deciphering it but to no avail. You might be able to read the words on the stone tablet and uncover the egg’s background! “Apart from the inheritance ground, there is also a large stone crater behind the mountain where the inheritance ground is located. The stone crater periodically oozes out dark red fluid that resembles blood. This is the secret that enables empresses to reach the pinnacle Samsara Realm! “These are the only special aspects of the alien insects. When you reach the inheritance ground, I can immediately take you behind the mountain to investigate the crater!”
