Evolution From the Big Tree

At this moment, as if sensing something, the corners of Yu Zi Yu’s lips curved.

[Just as I predicted, as the number of Zergs continued to dwindle, the power of the Hive Mind also steadily weakened. It’s even dropping towards Tier-4 in terms of Psychic Power. At its peak, its Psychic Power was comparable to that of a peak Tier-5 Transcendent. It could even manipulate reality, and shatter space itself. But now…] Smirking in his heart, Yu Zi Yu finally ceased his offensive.

*Haaaaaa…* Yu Zi Yu exhaled a long, deep breath.

Everything gradually returned to calm, and even the remaining Zergs huddled in the corners, trembling non-stop.

They did not fear death, but this kind of ‘walking to their death’ was something they could not endure.

That feeling of having a knife placed at their throat, waiting for death, left every single one of them ice-cold.

Fortunately… this massacre had finally stopped.

Slowly raising their gaze, the Zergs’ eyes flickered incessantly as they looked upon the Massive Tree whose branches had woven together like a cage, imprisoning the three Zerg Hives and countless Zergs.

They seemed both fearful and awestruck.

“Now, can we talk?” Touching the bridge of his nose, the Void Elf Form slowly stepped forward, stopping not far from the three stars, and once again spoke calmly.

*Gulp…* Gulping nervously, the Hive Mind hesitated and asked, “Talk about what?”

“It’s very simple…” With a chuckle, Yu Zi Yu directly revealed his plan.

However, before he could finish, a resolute voice echoed across the starry sky, “Impossible, it’s impossible! I will never be enslaved by you…”

Suppressing the fear in its heart, the Hive Mind’s voice, full of determination, became more resolute.

Enslavement—a forbidden term among the powerful.

Any being whose Spirit had undergone a qualitative change and stepped into Tier-5 could not be enslaved, unless they willingly accepted it. Not even a Hegemon could enslave them.

Of course, that was not the important part.

What was important was that a powerful Transcendent whose Spirit had undergone a qualitative transformation could easily backlash against anyone who tried to enslave them, potentially even harming their Master.

Therefore, to true powerhouses, they generally would not enslave beings whose Spirits had undergone this qualitative change.

And now, hearing Yu Zi Yu’s plan, the Hive Mind mistakenly thought Yu Zi Yu intended to enslave it and then begin his ‘training’ plan.

However, Yu Zi Yu had no interest in that.

Enslaving a Tier-5, even one whose strength had fallen to Tier-4, was not worth it to him. Not to mention, the mental strain alone would be overwhelming.

This was entirely different from enslaving a Tier-2, Tier-3, or even Tier-4 Transcendent.

Even the Apostles Yu Zi Yu had signed Blood Covenant with were mostly Tier-2 and Tier-3 Transcendents that he nurtured himself. Why would he foolishly try to enslave the Hive Mind now?

The collective consciousness of countless Zergs was the most chaotic and complex. The cost of enslaving it would likely be unbearable even for a Hegemon.

*Tsk, tsk…* Clicking his tongue, Yu Zi Yu interrupted straightaway, “What are you thinking? I haven’t even mentioned the word ‘enslave’…”

Pausing for a moment, Yu Zi Yu considered his words and chose a more suitable term, “It should be cooperation. Yes, cooperation…”

“Cooperation?” A sudden hint of suspicion appeared in the Hive Mind’s voice, now tinged with doubt.

“Yes, cooperation.” Nodding in affirmation, Yu Zi Yu explained his plan, “The two of us can form an alliance. After all, Tier-2 and Tier-3 lifeforms are just numbers to us. Why not selectively cultivate them? In the future, when you invade other Star Domains and encounter powerful enemies, you can rely on us to break through their defenses, while you seize the opportunity to plunder. Of course, when we need help, you can’t be stingy either…”

As he spoke, a playful glint appeared deep within Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

Accompanying his words, a parchment scroll slowly emerged in the starry sky.

Upon closer inspection, line after line of text appeared on the parchment.

An Ancient Covenant, personally drafted by Yu Zi Yu and written with his own Life Essence, infused with a powerful Psychic Seal. All it required was for the Hive Mind to imprint its Psychic Seal, and this Ancient Covenant would be established.

As for the rest, there was no need to overthink.

This was inherently an unequal agreement, heavily biased in Yu Zi Yu’s favor.

It might not be ‘enslavement,’ but it was something even better.

The key difference was that with enslavement, one would lose its freedom.

But by signing this Ancient Covenant, one could retain independence, with the only price being an unequal distribution of resources.

Regarding this, Yu Zi Yu was confident that the Hive Mind would make a reasonable choice.

As he spoke, Yu Zi Yu waved his hand, slowly pushing the parchment towards the Hive Mind.

“What is this…” Amidst its growing suspicion, the Hive Mind began to examine the document.

Moments later…

As if it had discovered something unbelievable, a shocked scream suddenly shattered the silence of the starry sky, “What?! Invading other Star Domains, and you want 70% of all the resources?! And you also want King Zerg under your command…”

“And what’s this? You’ve set your sights on my Daughter too…”

One scream after another pierced the air, sharp and filled with indignation. It had never seen such a ridiculous agreement before.

The resources were one thing, but King Zerg and its Daughter… those were its two most important generals.

As for its Daughter… She was currently in deep slumber at the core of the Zerg Hive, slowly advancing in her terrifying evolution.

The Zerg Queen, an anomaly among the Zergs, was one of the few who possessed a Humanoid Form. However, that was not the most important part.

What mattered was that the Zerg Queen had exceptional talent, and her abilities could greatly benefit the entire Zerg Clan.

In some ways, she was even more important than King Zerg.

The Hive Mind had never expected this Star God to discover her existence, let alone set his sights on her!
