Chapter 13: The Destruction of a Civilization

“Hey, what has happened? Why are you all dead?”

Lu Zhiyu had been too busy over these few days to observe the painting space, and when he looked at it, he found that a huge amount of insects had started dying. Lu Zhiyu realized that two days ago, the insects had actually developed bioenergy.

A queen insect had created a new generation of nests and begun to continuously spawn soldier insects. It then managed to control all the other queen insects, effectively unifying the entire painting space.

After that, the queen insect that had just unified its world went onto a road of self-destruction. The endless creation of soldiers eventually used up all the resources of the painting space. The seas had been contaminated and dried up, and the lands had turned into mere deserts. The insects had started to devour one another, resulting in continued deaths.

Lu Zhiyu saw for himself the total collapse of the huge civilization of insects. The queen insects and ordinary insects died one after another, and the painting space was being ruined.

“No! Don’t die!” Lu Zhiyu nearly went berserk. However, the measure on the silver sigil in his brain continued to rise rapidly as the insects died. Finally, the measure broke through its bottleneck.

Lu Zhiyu could feel the silver sigil transform from a horizontal eight to a silver-colored hourglass. At once, a huge amount of information charged into his brain, and Lu Zhiyu, once again, received part of the information on how to manipulate the Scroll of the World. Specifically, he received the method on how to create and open the dimensional channel from the outside world.

Lu Zhiyu glanced into the painting space which had already turned into a desert. Even the dead bodies of the insects were being devoured gradually. However, Lu Zhiyu realized that the queen insect that had controlled the painting space had disappeared; it did not die and actually just vanished!

What has happened?

After some prompt investigation, Lu Zhiyu realized that it was at the point when his control of the space had been enhanced that there was instability in the dimensional channel. As he was adjusting the dimensional channel in an attempt to save the painting space from total destruction, the queen insect had grasped hold of the opportunity to escape from the painting space, exiting the two-dimensional world.

However, Lu Zhiyu had no idea where she had escaped to, or whether it was a lower dimensional space or a higher dimensional one. She might even have escaped to the three-dimensional space where he was currently in.

Has she escaped? This trickster destroyed my painting space and just disappeared. This is too rude!

Lu Zhiyu felt the loss, but there was nothing he could do. He knew that this would eventually happen one day, given the characteristics of insects. These extremely aggressive insects would devour all resources in order to enhance their lives. The painting space was just too small for them.

After the living things in the painting space all died, Lu Zhiyu retrieved the Source Form from it, which filled up only around one tenth of the hourglass. If Lu Zhiyu’s original measure when he had first obtained the painting space was 100 units, the quantity of the Source Form at the moment would be about 1,300 units. To fill it up again, he would need 10,000 units of Source Form.

Previously, Lu Zhiyu had used 100 units of Source Form to create the painting space. Now that he had 1,300 units, he might be able to come up with another plan to create a more stable, larger space. Perhaps, it would even be a world that could accommodate various civilizations and living things.

Lu Zhiyu suddenly realized that he had missed out an important detail. He could trace back the memories and origin of his ancestors through his genes. Hence, the queen insects might be able to do so as well.

That would mean they might have already discovered that they did not belong to the painting world. Instead, they were from another universe and their ancestors were but a group of ants on the ground.

Lu Zhiyu’s expression changed.

Could the insects have already felt my presence, and have been scolding me behind my back? Something also seems to be wrong with the queen insect. It seems like she has prepared to escape from the painting space long ago!

At the moment, in a distant and unknown Inner Space, the queen insect that had curled up like a worm and traveled through spacetime in a cocoon sent out a wave.

The world of God. Tse tse, looking for the presence of God!

We insects are from the world of God, the kingdom of God!

The Almighty God, Sunika is looking for You. I have many questions…

As Lu Zhiyu waited outside the hospital, a few women suddenly came by to chat him up, but he rejected them. When Lu Zhiyu saw them walking away reluctantly, he could only smile wryly.

At the moment Li Wei appeared, he immediately waved at her. Li Wei smiled and bid her colleagues farewell, after which she leaped into Lu Zhiyu’s embrace.

Noticing a few female doctors and nurses gossiping at the door, Lu Zhiyu held Li Wei in his arms and said, “This is a public place. Don’t be so affectionate. Your colleagues are all watching us with a scary look!”

Li Wei gave a humph and said, “They are trying to seduce you and are envious of me. In the future, don’t look for me inside the hospital; just give me a call when you are here.”

Lu Zhiyu shrugged and said, “Alright, alright. I’ve got it. I promise that I’ll be good and not fool around.”

Li Wei said proudly, “That’s right. As my man, you have to be virtuous!”

Lu Zhiyu opened the door of his car and Li Wei sat on the passenger seat. Then, Lu Zhiyu made one round and hopped into the car as well. After he started the engine, he said, “I didn’t know that you get jealous so easily. You’re so petty. By the way, the word virtuous is used for women!”

Li Wei immediately argued, “Who asked me to fall in love with such a handsome guy like you? If I am not careful, those vixens outside will swarm you!”

Over this period, Lu Zhiyu had gradually understood why women were so attracted to him. Other than his outstanding look, another important factor was the smell of hormones that exuded from his body.

When his body had adjusted to the optimum level, Lu Zhiyu realized that not only could his physique be compared to professional athletes, but his now perfectly healthy and balanced body also released this smell that would attract women greatly.

This was something that Lu Zhiyu had no solution to. He could not possibly destroy his physical attributes only because of such a small flaw. Moreover, if this was even considered a flaw, all the men in the world would most likely want to have it!

After going through the ordinary process of having their dinner, going on a date, and watching a movie, Lu Zhiyu brought Li Wei to his house. This was the first time that Li Wei went to his house. They had been to the hotel a few times together and then to Li Wei’s house, but not Lu Zhiyu’s house.

“Your house is quite nice. It is detached and the location is great. Did your family refuse to leave when the developers tried to chase you out in the past? I am surprised they allowed you to stay!”

“…”

Li Wei’s guess was somewhat close to the truth. As Lu Zhiyu’s house was situated at a corner, after rejecting the offer for a few times, the developers had given up and did not demolish the house without their consent.

At night, after the exhausted Li Wei took a shower, she saw Lu Zhiyu who only had a towel around him watching television on his sofa. She quietly came up from behind, hugged him, and said, “You are great!”

Lu Zhiyu pulled her down onto the sofa and laughed. “Am I that great?”

After playing around with each other, Li Wei asked, “It has been quite a while since you resigned from your job in the capital. What’s your plan?”

Lu Zhiyu pondered for a while and replied, “Hmm… I plan to open a pet shop. What do you think?”

“Oh? Do you like pets?”
