Chapter 483: The Founding and the Start of Action

The Devouring Demon Mountain caused great chaos in the Deta Empire, destroying many towns and countless small villages, leading to heavy losses for the empire. Finally, it was defeated by a huge and powerful army of Ant Monsters in the Granville Monster Forest on the western side of the kingdom.

The Ant Monsters could change their shape, possess intelligence, and were said to have several flying Earth Dragons that were very large.

After defeating the Meat Mountain, the Ant Monsters declared the founding of their country, called Ant Country.

Rollo Kingdom formed an alliance with Ant Country and announced the transfer of a town and its surrounding villages near the Granville Monster Forest to Ant Country.

As soon as this news spread, it caused a huge stir across the continent.

Naturally, the people in the kingdom were in an uproar. After all, the Granville Monster Forest where the Ant Monsters lived was right on the kingdom’s west side. With such a frightening monster force as neighbors, it would be strange if the people were not alarmed.

With the reassurance of the kingdom’s Third Princess, now the kingdom’s queen, Silvia, and the Chief Mage Magic Rainbow’s assurance that “the Ant Monsters will not harm innocent humans,” the people’s panic gradually calmed down.

The southern countries were mainly composed of subhumans and various small Orc nations, and they did not react as strongly as the people of the kingdom did, as they had always been somewhat different from the two great human nations, the kingdom and the empire.

To these subhumans and Orcs, the Ant tribe, with their two antennas on their heads after transformation, seemed closer to them than the human race.

Therefore, several small nations from the southern countries sent envoys to meet Queen Ant of the Ant tribe, and their action was equivalent to recognizing the Ant Country’s position as a nation.

The remaining countries did not deny the Ant Country’s identity; they were still watching the suddenly established Ant Country.

As for the Deta Empire, the old king of the empire had been troubled these days, unable to eat or sleep.

He had once been pleased because he successfully sent off the Devouring Demon Mountain, making it the kingdom’s problem, but unexpectedly, instead of just a meat mountain, he had unleashed a tribe of ants that was even more terrifying.

What scared him even more was the alliance between the Ant tribe and the kingdom.

Originally, the empire’s army suffered significant losses when they joined the two great principalities to attack the kingdom, and now they not only failed to cause trouble for the kingdom but instead strengthened it with a powerful ally.

If the kingdom joined forces with the Ant tribe to attack the empire… could the empire withstand that?

He thought it was a good thing, like killing two birds with one stone, but in the end, it turned out to backfire, and the old king now felt very regretful.

While he was worrying, the Ant Clan sent ambassadors to the empire.

The old king was both surprised and happy.

After a talk, the next day news spread that the empire recognized Ant Country’s status and formed an alliance with Ant Country.

…

They successfully formed an alliance with the Deta Empire, one of the two major human race nations on the continent, apart from Rollo Kingdom.

Although it was expected, Lin Yu still breathed a sigh of relief.

The empire’s territory was not smaller than Rollo Kingdom, and since the Ant Clan primarily developed their network in the kingdom and southern countries over the past three years, they had not yet spread their ant holes throughout the entire empire like the kingdom had.

But now that they were allied with the empire, there was no need to rush to expand the ant hole network on the empire’s territory.

As long as the old king of the empire agreed to search within the empire for children aged six to seven, this so-called War of Reincarnators set up by the gods may finally come to an end.

As for how to search for these possible human race reincarnators…

Besides having the empire’s intelligence agencies assist in the investigation, the various nobles would be in charge of looking for these children in their territories. No matter what reasons they used, as long as these six- and seven-year-old children gathered together, it would be easy to send one or two daughters of the ant tribe to use Identification on them to see if there was a reincarnator among them.

Such a bold action… if there really were human race reincarnators, they would certainly guess that there were competitors among the suddenly rising Ant Country.

But what could they do if they found out?

Lin Yu did not want to wait any longer. With her own ant tribe’s power and the strength of their allies combined, it would not be impossible to sweep across this continent.

However, even if the six- and seven-year-old children possessed unexpectedly powerful Unique Skills, they would never be able to challenge the current ant tribe.

Strength needed a level as a foundation. How could six- and seven-year-old children level up? By fighting monsters?

Not to mention how a six- or seven-year-old child would fight a monster, even if they could, they would never be able to hide quietly among human race families like Li Qi.

The Ant Clan found it much easier to search for young children who could enter the forest and battle monsters… they could certainly catch one with ease.

In fact, during the past three years, the Ant Clan also found twelve other human reincarnators in the kingdom besides Li Qi. Except for two who were discovered through a broad search, the other ten were found because they displayed abilities that did not match their age.

The southern kingdoms also found ten subhuman reincarnators, and their situation was generally similar to the twelve reincarnators found in the kingdom.

It would not be fair to say they were foolish.

After all, if they did not find a way to improve their strength, they would surely find themselves at a disadvantage when fighting against other reincarnators in the future.

For these reincarnators, it was only natural that they were either controlled by the Ant Clan or closely monitored.

As for the Unique Skills these individuals acquired… while there were some powerful skills that were impressive, what was even more surprising was that many of them obtained the same Unique Skill.

“Unique Skill – Fire God,” “Unique Skill – Water God,” “Unique Skill – Wind God”…

All were granted by the gods after wishing for “invincibility.”

Well, being invincible was definitely not possible. After all, based on the unique skills that previous opponents had, the gifts from the gods had some ‘flaws,’ or we could say ‘side effects.’

If they wished for a skill like “invincibility” that disrupted the ‘game balance,’ the gods may have made some adjustments, right?

As a result, they received skills like “Unique Skill – Fire God” and “Unique Skill – Water God.”
