Fate can be targeted. For example, in the story of the Great Lord of Annihilation, Xingxiao's purpose is to silence the harmony and specifically eliminate joy by returning to stillness.
The core concept of the "breeding" system that Qiong is in charge of seems to be highly focused and embodied in the process of "breeding" itself—pure and frequent doing.
He can use this power to precisely avoid the elements of breeding and pregnancy.
"So, how did he prevent Xing and Está from getting pregnant before he became the fertility envoy?"
Black Tower raised a question.
Ruan Mei was also puzzled.
Qiong didn't give an answer, she just shrugged.
The answer is Divine Awakening: Jizo's Soul.
In the real world, he certainly wouldn't dare to play with fire like that.
But this is a simulated universe. Even the corrupting power of the Divine Jizo's Soul cannot shake the data of the entire universe, nor can it directly confront the great power of destiny...
However, within a limited scope, subtle conceptual shifts are feasible!
He cleverly diverted the [breeding] that permeated the cramped space of the starship, originating from Taizyuros.
They shifted the focus away from the concept of pregnancy and nurture, directing and concentrating more of the dynamic energy representing prosperity onto themselves.
Qiong spent a long time purely practicing the aspect of "prosperity" near the Star God, and eventually successfully attracted the attention of the Insect King, becoming the messenger who practiced his concept of "prosperity".
Seeing Qiong's behavior, it was clear that he didn't intend to say anything, so Black Tower temporarily noted down his questions.
"No, can you really become a breeding envoy just by doing such low-level things?"
The Black Tower was puzzled.
Is it too easy for the messenger destined to reproduce to succeed?
"Correction: The simulated universe time has already passed by an Amber Age."
Screw Gum reminds the Black Tower.
Even if we take the minimum value of 76 years in the Amber Period, it means that from the perspective of their reproductive destiny, these two have been doing it for a full 76 years, and the upper limit is even 240 years.
This kind of male among males, the dominant man among men, if not the envoy of reproduction, then who can be the envoy of reproduction?
Black Tower: "..."
Awesome.
Ruan Mei: "..."
What could they say?
It's no wonder it's called Starry Sky; they actually solved it this way?
That's really amazing... what a joke!
That's outrageous!
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."
Qiong suddenly raised his head and straightened his chest, exuding an aura of imposing power.
"Hiss~ What trick are you up to now?"
The pixelated eyebrows of the black tower dumpling changed.
"From this day forward, I am the Zerg Emperor! I shall suppress all enemies throughout the universe!"
Qiong stood with his hands behind his back, his back to all living beings and the starry sea, his voice powerful and resonant.
After saying that, Qiong took a step forward—arrived at the starship's control room, and quickly began operating the control panel, flying towards the planet where Taizyuros was located.
"Boss~ Boss~ It's me, Layla!"
"Holy crap... wait a minute!"
Qiong's outrageous actions almost caused the Black Tower's processor to lag.
In a flash, a thought struck her like lightning: with Qiong's current status as a breeding envoy, she might actually be able to meet Taizyuros.
This is an experimental observation opportunity that comes along in a lifetime!
To Black Tower's even greater surprise, Qiong, who always lets loose when she gets carried away with her playful nature, actually stopped when she called out to her.
Qiong slowly turned around, looking up and down at the black tower ball floating in the air with an extremely subtle gaze, carrying a scrutinizing and... somewhat indescribable assessment.
"...?"
Black Tower felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze:
"What kind of look is that?"
His tone clearly conveyed displeasure.
Qiong stroked her chin, commenting earnestly, "Although you look like a Fiji cup right now..."
After a pause, Qiong's tone became magnanimous:
"However, considering that it's your consciousness personally controlling this image, it's not impossible, is it? Come on!"
As she spoke, Qiong lay down in the driver's seat in an extremely relaxed and irritating "Tai" shape, opening her arms to the little black tower dumpling, her face saying, "I'm ready, don't hold back, face me head-on."
"??"
The face of the black tower dumpling is displayed incorrectly.
For some reason, she recalled the touch and the thrill of Britta kissing Sora, as clear as if it were yesterday.
"You've got breeding in your head, haven't you? Oh, you really do..."
The black tower let out a shriek that was a mixture of madness and speechlessness:
"Get the hell out there and go see Taizyuros!"
At the same time, an invisible data stream slammed into the starship system, initiating the jump procedure.
"This level of data is enough for us to deduce Taizyuros!"
Black Tower quickly regained his composure, seemingly with a hint of excitement about what was about to happen.
"Yes, that's right."
A frenzy appeared in Ruan Mei Tuanzi's eyes.
Screw Gumu was completely absorbed.
The first sound was a strange cry, the first sucking of an infant insect into the air.
Along with the syllables of the red butterfly's craving for lilies, the sky seemed to be raining, or perhaps a lake, mixed with different scents of oranges, blood, or tropical fruits, and there were insects whose size was comparable to planets.
The rustling wing powder filling the air could even hallucinate silicon-based organisms, making the figure appear to be surrounded by countless swaying yellow butterflies, ants, nest-dwelling insects, and stinging insects of various sizes.
"That is—Taizyuros!"
Black Tower was overjoyed.
Although Qiong always does some outrageous things when testing simulated universes, she always gains a lot each time!
Perhaps because her destiny is somewhat unbalanced in terms of "breeding", even though Qiong became a Breeding Envoy, she was among the weakest of the envoys, the kind who sat at the same table as Huanlong and Jingyuan.
However, combat strength is not important at all.
Qiong became the Breeding Envoy simply to gain the swarm's acceptance; he was a partner in the breeding process.
"Boss! Leave the army to me! I will lead our family to spread the glory of procreation throughout the galaxy, and fill the entire universe with our companions. We will never be alone again!"
"Believe me, I will never give up on you, never let you down, never abandon you, and never hurt you with lies!"
Just as Black Tower said, Taizyuros is cowardly and dull-witted. As a Star God, he has no knowledge whatsoever, and his mind is devoid of anything except reproduction.
But if you look at it from another angle, if the Insect Dynasty had a general or prime minister, what a wonderful emperor the Insect King would be!
A foolish and ignorant emperor only needs a little guidance.
"Hiss hiss hiss~ reproduction██"
Voices began to appear in Qiong's mind, and at the same time, she regained control of a portion of the insect swarm.
Qiong's lips curled up, and she gracefully bowed to the emperor.
"I am the swarm."
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 508 Stellaris Zerg Version, Dare to Kill My Horse?
Under the supreme Zerg Emperor Taizyuros, six core Zerg swarm branches are commanded and are known as the Six Zerglings:
Shattered stars, fading sunlight, calamity of pregnancy, illusionary twilight, bewitching the world, wicked compassion.
Each line of insect servants is led by a powerful queen insect. These six queen insects are the six great messengers under the Insect Emperor.
The abilities and expertise of the parasites are as straightforward and terrifying as their name suggests.
The Starshattering Beetles inherited the power of the Insect King's mandibles that tore stars apart. They possess terrifying mouthparts that can condense destructive death rays, easily shattering planetary crusts and sucking the essence of planetary cores.
Every mature Starshattering Insect is a living Star Destroyer, and the Starshattering King Insect that commands them possesses power capable of tearing apart stars!
They are the undisputed vanguard of the swarm, specializing in destroying celestial barriers and paving the way for the insect sea.
The Illusionary Pests originate from the secrets of the Insect King's wings that obscure the Milky Way. The clusters of scales and powder they scatter can trap countless creatures in a deadly illusion from which they cannot escape.
At the same time, they themselves constitute a huge biological neural network node, instantly transmitting information and will among the insect swarm, and are the central nervous system of the insect sea.
There are also the fertile insects, specializing in the tough shells of insect queens that bear the weight of all things; they are walking incubators and material conversion furnaces.
Clinging to glaciers, they devour everything—food, minerals, energy, and even the life essence of other races—transforming them into nutrients for nurturing new offspring.
Their only creed is:
Breeding! Breeding! And more damn breeding!
Pregnancy is the cornerstone of explosive growth in insect populations.
The other insect servants also possess their own unique abilities. The six major insect servants each have their own special skills. The purity of their [reproduction] destiny endows them with unparalleled individual strength and racial characteristics.
However, its success and failure both stemmed from its purity.
This ultimate focus on reproduction acts like an invisible shackle, greatly suppressing the possibility of Zerg individuals developing complex thoughts beyond reproduction.
While swarms can overwhelm enemies with sheer numbers and brute force, the casualties they suffer are often staggering.
For the Insect King, He would not grieve for the death of His own kind; He only wanted more offspring to survive, continue, and spread.
To improve the war efficiency and survival rate of the swarm, Taizyuros created the World-Destroying Worm.
They are endowed with relatively prominent intelligence characteristics, serving as commanders of the swarm, and attempting to compensate for the loss of pure strength with strategy.
However, as Zerg, once they embark on the path of [breeding], they can hardly escape that influence.
Even with the World-Destroying King in command, the swarm's expansion efficiency and casualty ratio improved somewhat, but still fell far short of Taizyuros's expectations.
The Insect King yearns for a better commander.
So He made an unprecedented attempt.
He will bestow the great power of the messenger of fertility upon humankind, who are good at thinking, skilled in planning, and adept at strategy!
Of course, the prerequisite is that the human being must have the qualifications and resonance to bear this power.
He spent an Amber Age searching and selecting throughout the long river of destiny.
No, perhaps more accurately, He had already noticed those unique 'ripples' in the echoes of destiny that continuously followed His movement.
Those few humans continued to practice the concept of 'reproduction' with unwavering fervor—from an initial faint echo to a strong resonance that later caught His attention.
Although it was somewhat unbalanced, that resonance, that practice of the aspect of 'complexity', ultimately led Taizyuros to make his ruling:
That gray-haired human—is the perfect fit for the role!
Therefore, He granted the authority of the fertility messenger.
Afterwards, Qiong took the initiative to come and work, which made the Insect King very satisfied.
But when Taizyuros was first asked by the Dome to grant him military power, he actually refused.
Because He felt that you couldn't just ask me to give it to you right away.
