At this moment, Alba felt fear. It was an intense fear that he had never felt since he was born!
Alba was confident that he could kill two Level 3 Insect Kings in an instant.
However, it was impossible for him to do it as effortlessly as Faern did.
Most importantly, Alba could not understand how Faern managed to kill the two Level 3 Insect Kings.
Alba felt that even if he was in the position of the two Level 3 Insect Kings, the outcome would be the same.
"Little fellow, can you calm down and listen to me now?"
Fain still had a faint smile on his face as he spoke to Alba.
Alba did not dare to move at all.
"Speaking of which, the upper limit of your race is really low. Even if you reach the upper limit, you're only one step into the threshold of a level-7 civilization."
"How is it? Do you want to break through the upper limit of your race and evolve to a higher level?"
Ignoring Alba who didn't dare to move, Faern asked after complaining for a while.
His question stirred up a storm in Alba's heart.
As a Level 1 Insect King, Alba was naturally very clear about the evolution of the Insect Tribe.
Firstly, there were various types of combat insects. However, although there were many types of combat insects, they could not evolve and could only be combat insects for the rest of their lives.
In fact, the Combat Bugs could be considered to be created by the King Bugs through biotechnology.
Secondly, there were King Insects. King Insects did not evolve from combat insects but were directly reproduced by King Insects.
Therefore, from a biological point of view, all King Insects were actually blood relatives.
A newly born King Insect was a Level 5 King Insect. Even the lowest level was not comparable to combat insects.
Most importantly, King Insects could evolve from Level 5 to Level 1 and eventually become King Insects by devouring the flesh and blood of different races as well as resources.
Of course, the evolution of the Insect Tribe was not an easy task. In fact, it could be considered rather difficult.
Otherwise, the Insect Tribe would not only have one King Insect and three Level 1 Insect Kings until now.
In theory, the Insect Tribe could continuously strengthen themselves as long as they continued to fight. However, in reality, that was not the case.
The reason was the upper limit of the race that Faern mentioned …
In the current universe, there were three types of civilizations.
The first was technological civilization, which was also the most mainstream way of civilization.
The second type was a biological civilization. The biological civilization here did not refer to a biotechnology civilization, but a civilization like the insectoids that did not develop technology and instead pursued continuous evolution and strengthening.
As for the third type …
(The author says it's too early to reveal spoilers here)
For a biological civilization, there was a natural upper limit to their race. It was not possible for them to evolve endlessly.
The upper limit of the Zerg race was the Zerg Queen. If one were to compare them to a technological civilization, then just as Faern had said, they were almost at the level of a level-7 civilization.
To put it simply, it was a congenital deficiency. No matter how hard one worked, it would be useless!
However, there was an exception, and that was Ipnos, which was accidentally born in the Large Magellan Galaxy.
Even Faern couldn't tell what the upper limit of his species was.
This was also why Faern had taken the risk of clashing with Lin Hongqi in order to take him away.
This kind of material was simply too tempting for Fain!
"You … are saying that you have a way to help me evolve to a higher level, or even break through the innate upper limit of my race?"
"That's right!"
Boom …
It was as if a bomb had exploded in Alba's heart.
Was it real?
Or was it a scam?
With Faern's strength, it would not even take much effort to kill him. He should not be lying to him.
Breaking through the innate upper limit of his race …
This temptation was simply too great. It was so great that even if it was a trap, Alba was willing to jump into it.
However, Alba understood that in this world, there was no free lunch.
"What do I need to pay?"
"Hmm, you're not that stupid. I only need you to do one thing for me!"
As expected …
He knew that there must be a condition, and it should not be something easy.
"Don't worry, it's not something difficult. It's something that you've already planned to do. Go to the Milky Way and kill the overlord civilization there, the Human Federation!"
Seeing how wary Alba was, Faern smiled as he continued to speak.
However, Alba was stunned.
He had already mentally prepared himself for the difficult request that Faern was about to make …
But what did Faern say?
He wanted him to go to the Milky Way and kill the overlord civilization there?
Was this not part of his plan? It was just a few level-5 civilizations. How could it be so easy?
"The Milky Way? It's that simple? "
"It's simple. Hehe, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even know how you died, right?"
"As far as I know, there are only a few level-5 civilizations there. How could it not be easy?"
Alba was somewhat puzzled and unconvinced. How could he die from a few mid-level-5 civilizations?
Was this a joke …
"A few mid-level-5 civilizations? It seems that you still don't know who killed all three of your King Beetles. How pathetic! "
"I'll tell you more out of kindness. The current Milky Way, no, the entire galaxy group where the Milky Way is located, has been unified. The overlord civilization of the entire galaxy group, the Human Federation, is a true peak level-6 civilization. Furthermore, it has one foot in the category of level-7 civilization."
"At your current level?"
"You're just there to deliver research materials to others!"
Faern mocked him mercilessly.
However, this mockery did not arouse Alba's anger. Instead, it stirred up stormy waves in his heart.
A peak level-6 civilization that had one foot in the category of level-7 civilization?
If everything that Faern said was true, then he would really be courting death if he went there.
A civilization of this level was a level that only the Bug Queen could deal with. It was not something he could deal with at all.
Even though he did not have sweat glands, Alba still felt cold sweat all over his body …
"Alright, don't worry. I'll help you evolve to the upper limit of your race. After that, you can do this."
"Of course, if you can do this well, I'll fulfill my promise and help you break through the innate limitations of your race."
"Alright, now tell me, what's your choice?"
Faern was like a demon, constantly tempting Alba …
