“I…

Vaye…

the strongest…”

Vaye roars at the sky, his pincers firing air bullets, knocking over the successive waves of Insect Clan warriors.

All of the insect clans back down, crouching down on the ground.

“King!”

“King!”

They cheered.

In the first year of the Insect Clan period, Vaye ascended to the throne within the Tribe of Fire, crowned as the king!

...

He deemed the Obsidian tablet as the ‘Acute Angle Monument’, treasuring it as the most precious artifact, preserved inside the palace, and devised a specific coded language—the Vormont Language—to unravel the mysteries of the monument.

This was the inception of the Insect Clan’s Runeology.

Simultaneously, Vaye also taught a select group the method to become ‘Hyperstring Warriors’, convincing them to become nobility, safeguarding personal possessions.

The concept of ‘public’ and ‘private’ ownership emerged within the tribes, a brand-new feudal system gradually taking shape.

In the 10th year, the Insect Clan made significant breakthroughs in research of the Acute Angle Monument.

A total of twelve sets of Acute Angle Monuments were collected, constituting the Insect Clan Runeology.

Bloody ignorance and technological mysteries amalgamated in a way that had never been seen before.

The Insect Clan established the first kingdom on the continent – Gant, meaning ‘Large Kingdom’.

They were indulged in the arts, not even being satisfied with their clan’s slaves, and thereby began setting sights on other species.

“King!”

Inside the palace, an insect scientist stepped forward with a few cages, “Look…

this is our achievement!”

In the wooden cage, lies a humanoid creature.

It has four limbs and five fingers, covered with a layer of blue scales.

“By selecting and breeding through rituals, we’ve chosen them…from the ‘Sea Monkey’ clans…

Their fingers are very dexterous, assisting with tasks we can’t fulfil.

Also…

they’re weak, weak enough not to pose any threat to us!”

“Very good, Gorro!”

Vaye cheerfully said, “Next…

we should extensively breed these ‘Sea Monkeys’, let them substitute us in farming, laboring, hunting…

I need more warriors, more armies, to explore the Devil’s Strait with me!”

“Your will is our mission.”

Gorro pleasantly responded.

Acute Angle Monuments are the treasured jewels of the Insect Clan, besides the few discovered accidentally, the rest were obtained from near the Devil’s Strait.

Although terrifying Sea Beasts guard that place, the king has still initiated several wars, seizing a few Acute Angle Monuments.

Arguably, the foundation of most Insect Clan technology and the transcendence comes from the Acute Angle Monuments.

Furthermore, the king has a deep obsession with that place.

…

In the 11th year, Sea Monkey slaves were extensively utilized, becoming the most common slaves within the Kingdom of Gant.

In the 15th year, Vaye led an army of tens of thousands, including all the ‘Hyperstring Warriors’ and ‘Vormont Language Masters’, to collectively set off for the Devil’s Seaditch.

By the 18th year, a defeated army returned to the tribe, spreading shocking news.

“The king…

has failed…”

“Devastating losses were suffered by our troops, yet the outer periphery of the Devil’s Seaditch still couldn’t be breached…”

“We only managed to seize one monument.”

Coups occurred that year but were brutally suppressed by Vaye.

“Failure?

I didn’t…”

He arrived at the scientific academy, asking Gorro, “Has the text documented on the thirteenth Acute Angle Monument been deciphered?”

“Yes, this is an incomparable discovery…”

Gorro responded ecstatically, “In fact, in the distant past…

there were races that truly ruled everything, called ‘Ancient Rulers’…

The Acute Angle Monuments we’ve sporadically gathered are just traces of their relics.”

“Ancient Rulers huh?”

Vaye fell silent for a moment, then clenched his pincers, “We too will become a great race like that…

However, the Sea Beasts’ strength in the Devil’s Seaditch is beyond my expectations…

We will not wage war for the moment, Gorro, the task of decoding the monument is on you.”

“As you command, our king.”

Gorro bowed his head, no one saw the eerie glow in its eyes.

The Acute Angle Monuments are remnants left by at least mythical creatures, naturally, they carry mental pollution.

And the Insect Clan’s chief scientist, Rune Master Gorro, was contaminated a bit and secretly revered the Ancient Rulers, even clandestinely presided over blood sacrifices to the Ancient Rulers.

“Montiq…”

“Montiq…”

“You are the Ancient Ruler…

The god of yesteryears…”

Continuous beckoning started to permeate into a certain void, establishing connection with a Dream Crystal.

The thoughts of the being sealed within the crystal wavered slightly.

With the help of gaps in the seal, the wave quickly extended outward.

…

In the 22nd year, a new coup arose within the Insect Clan.

“In the name of the Ancient Ruler, Montiq…

I pronounce, the king is guilty!”

Gorro brought Vaye before the numerous Insect Clans, beheading it, “Henceforth…

the supreme ruler in the kingdom is the Pope!

We all are humble servants of the Ancient Rulers, His chosen ones!”

In the 23rd year, an entirely new kingdom was established, believers in Ancient Ruler Montiq rapidly spread through all the Insect Clans.

Since Montiq was sealed, His consciousness was also sleeping.

Thus, the oracle He sent was chaotic, hard to comprehend, mixed with very little information that could be utilized.

As a result, the atmospheric vibes within the Insect Clan began to turn inexplicably horrifying, but technology was, on the other hand, rapidly developing.

Finally.

By the 220th year.

The descendant of Gorro, the great Insect Clan Moromon delivered a speech for the entire Insect Clan, “By leveraging the technology to disrupt reality through spiritual power, we…

will surely achieve greatness!

We…

will surely become one with the Ruler.”

All Insect Clans were cheering, they held an unprecedented grand ceremony for Montiq.

A brand-new experiment began.

“This is…”

Su Lu quietly watched the scene, “Preparing for a complete transformation of the life form of the entire clan, huh?

It’s quite creative…

However, placing hope on Montiq, isn’t it a bit…

ignorant?

No option…

Faith has brainwashed them into stupidity…”

The initial creator remained silent, witnessing all the insects put themselves at a fatal risk.

On the continent, one after another, balls of light emerged from the Insect Clan tribes, those were embodiment of their spirits.

“Our Lord…

Montiq…

be with us!”

They were calling out, shouting.

The next moment.

The sleeping Montiq was roused, letting out a furious roar.

BOOM!

A spiritual storm affecting all Insect Clans broke out, the majority of the Insect Clan’s spirits couldn’t eternally coexist with Montiq, but ended up being entirely wiped out.

“This is the God of Ignorance…”

Su Lu yawned, “Seems like not intervening will also not work…

The Insect Clan, a clan that kills itself…

this is a lesson…”
