Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

"That old monster from Heaven... he actually died just like that..."

"Four moves... Hahaha... Four moves, truly... laughable, pathetic."

"Even the very origin of the Heavenly Realm and the supreme treasure that guards the realm couldn't stop him... A Chaos Body becoming an Emperor, is he truly destined to be invincible for an entire era?"

"Enough... enough... let us fall into complete silence. We will never reappear in the world before he passes away!"

After their initial shock and disbelief, the high-ranking officials of all the major realms—the Dragon Realm, the Phoenix Realm, the Demon Realm, and so on—immediately began preparing congratulatory gifts, raising the standards time and again, all in an effort to express sufficient respect and goodwill.

After a brief period of stagnation, the Origin Realm, the territory of the human race, erupted into a jubilant celebration that shook the entire starry sea!

"The Emperor is invincible! The Emperor is invincible!"

"The Celestial Ancestor has been beheaded! The Celestial Realm has bowed down!"

"From this day forward, I will see who in all the realms dares to bully my human race!"

Countless human cultivators were moved to tears, overwhelmed with emotion.

The majesty of the Chaos Emperor was forged through a series of glorious victories.

Humanity has never been so proud and triumphant as it is today!

On the golden road, Jiang Hao put away the broken Zhou Tian Realm Cauldron, glanced at the weeping Heavenly Realm, and did not step into it again.

The Celestial Ancestor has fulfilled his promise, and he will keep his word.

The celestial realm must comply with the conditions.

As for the innocent beings in the heavenly realm, he had no intention of involving them.

His gaze once again fell upon the boundless sea of ​​stars.

Next, it's time to pay a visit to the insect queen.

Meanwhile, in the insect world.

Insect Realm, Star-Eating Mother Nest and Illusionary Mother Nest.

The two major insect queen forces reacted almost simultaneously. After confirming that the Celestial Ancestor hadn't even withstood four moves, immense fear instantly overwhelmed them.

"Quickly, prepare a statement immediately—no, prepare two copies!"

The Star-Eating Insect Queen's will was sharp and urgent, echoing within her nest, which resembled a star core.

"A document, issued in the names of both parties, shall immediately be made public to all realms that the attack on the Chaos Emperor by the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects was purely her personal act and had nothing to do with our two mother nests, Star Devourer and Illusionary Desire. We have never provided any assistance or support!"

"The other gift... is the most lavish one. No, take out our treasured Star Origin Cores and Myriad Desires Divine Crystals, and immediately send them to the Purple Star Ancient Star. The attitude must be extremely humble, and the words must be as modest as possible. Be sure to emphasize that we are willing to apologize to the Chaos Emperor for neglecting to discipline our kin, but the actions of the Myriad Devourers are by no means the collective will of the Insect Realm!"

Within the illusory mother nest, the insect queen, with her erratic and unpredictable thoughts, was equally restless and anxious:

"I'm afraid we can't protect my sister anymore. We need to sever all ties with her immediately, destroy or alter all sensitive records of our interactions with the Myriad Devourer Nest over the years, and warn all our offspring that from now on, they must not mention any close relationship with the Myriad Devourer lineage. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed. Also, prepare gifts to apologize."

The two insect queens did not hesitate to abandon their allies in order to save themselves.

Faced with overwhelming power, no amount of kinship or common interests matters as much as one's own survival.

And the insect world devours the mother nest.

On the throne, the face of the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects, once so beautiful, was now deathly pale, devoid of any color.

The news of the demise of the Celestial Ancestor pierced her last defenses.

"Four moves...only four moves..."

She repeated it absentmindedly, her delicate body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

The scene of being severely injured by Jiang Hao's punch seemed to reappear before his eyes. The fear he felt then seemed insignificant compared to the despair he felt now.

Even an existence like the Heavenly Realm Ancestor, who burned his own essence and wielded the World Cauldron, only lasted four moves against Jiang Hao...

Even in his prime, he was no match for him; now, still recovering from serious injuries, how can he possibly withstand the attack?

"Can the Heavenly Demon Emperor really win?"

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she immediately rejected it, feeling a chill run through her.

Just as she was in despair, preparing to gather her children for final arrangements, and even considering whether to end her own life to preserve her bloodline,

A hidden divine thought pierced through layers of restrictions and entered her mind.

It's the Heavenly Demon Emperor!

The insect queen's spirits suddenly lifted, like a drowning person grasping at a last straw, and she frantically read the information.

However, the contents of her divine thoughts made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Shi, we have known each other for a long time, and this should not be the case. However, the power of the Chaos Emperor is beyond human control. The example of the Heavenly Ancestor is still fresh in our minds. This matter... I cannot help, nor should I. The inheritance of the Demon Realm is hard-won, and I dare not gamble with the lives of millions of people. In this matter... Fellow Daoist, you should seek help from someone more capable, or... make plans as soon as possible. Take care."

The divine thought was brief, but its meaning was crystal clear—rejection, severance, and seeking one's own good fortune.

"Heh...hehe..."

The Queen of Devouring Insects sat motionless on her throne, first chuckling softly, the laughter growing louder yet filled with endless sorrow and self-mockery, finally fading into a mournful sob.

"Even you... are afraid... Hahahaha... What a clever excuse to find someone more capable, what a wise plan!"

Her carefully drawn eyeliner was smudged by tears, making her look disheveled.

The last glimmer of hope was completely extinguished.

She understood that under the terrifying intimidation brought by Jiang Hao's absolute strength, no one would dare to stand up for her anymore.

"Mother Empress!" Prince Kun, Princess Caiyi, and their other children sensed her despair and rushed forward, calling out in sorrow.

The insect mother looked at them, a resolute maternal gleam flashing in her eyes.

She abruptly wiped away her tears, her voice hoarse but clear as she gave the order:

"Listen carefully! Immediately activate the core protection of the Myriad Insects Return to Ruins Grand Array, and send all young and promising offspring into the deepest secret realm for sealing. From this moment on, you and I... will have no public relationship whatsoever. I, Wan Shi, will bear all the blame!"

"Mother! No!" the children cried out.

"This is an order!" the insect queen shouted, mustering her last bit of strength.

However, before her command could be fully executed, a terrifying imperial might that froze the entire Devouring Mother Nest descended!

The golden road ignored the heavy defenses around the insect realm and stretched directly to the core area of ​​the Devouring Mother Nest.

Jiang Hao's figure appeared in the sky above the entrance to the Mother Nest, like a god descending to earth.

His gaze was calm, yet it sent shivers down the spines of every Zerg member in the hive.

At the same time, two other streaks of light flew rapidly from different directions, revealing their forms as the Star-Eating Insect Mother and the Illusionary Desire Insect Mother.

As soon as they appeared, they faced Jiang Hao, adopting an extremely humble posture, and spoke first, their tone urgent and sincere:

"Your Majesty, the attack on Your Majesty by Wan Shi was a mad act by Wan Shi alone, and had absolutely nothing to do with our Star Devouring (Illusory Desire) Mother Nest. We were unaware of it beforehand, nor did we provide any assistance afterward. We are equally indignant at such an act of offense against the majesty of Heaven, and we beseech Your Majesty to see the truth!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the actions of Wan Shi cannot represent our insect realm. We two are willing to offer generous gifts and assure Your Majesty that we will henceforth strictly discipline our people and never be enemies of Your Majesty or the human race. We hope Your Majesty will calm your anger!"

The two insect queens were eager to distance themselves from the relationship, and their words completely severed ties with the Devouring Insect Queen.

Jiang Hao listened to their words without being surprised.

It's perfectly normal for people to scatter when disaster strikes.
