With a sigh, Chu Xingyun asked the Demonic Ant Emperor, Chi Tong, "How is it? What happened to your Demonic Ant Army? Can it be revived?"
Chi Tong's eyes flickered slightly in response to Chu Xingyun's question, as if he was searching through the memories in his body.
Soon, the Demonic Ant Emperor replied coldly and emotionlessly, "The Demonic Ant Army can be revived. It will take three months, and the amount of soul energy is one hundred billion."
One hundred billion soul energy?
Looking at the Demonic Ant Emperor in confusion, Chu Xingyun asked, "What does this soul energy mean?"
In response to Chu Xingyun's question, the Demonic Ant Emperor replied, "One unit of soul energy can be condensed into a Yin-Yang level worker ant. Ten units of soul energy can be condensed into a Nirvana level soldier ant. One hundred units of soul energy can be condensed into a Martial Emperor level ant king or queen ant..."
Chu Xingyun nodded in understanding. He was suddenly enlightened.
A hundred years ago, the Demonic Ant Army numbered in the tens of billions. Most of them were Nirvana level soldier ants, and soldier ants were condensed from ten soul energy units.
Therefore, one hundred billion soul energy was condensed into ten billion Demonic Ants.
Among them, there were one hundred million ant kings and queens each. Soldier ants and worker ants made up the majority.
Frowning, Yan Guilai said, "Quality is more important than quantity... If all of them are condensed into ant kings and queens, will their combat power be stronger?"
Nodding, Chi Tong replied, "If all of them are condensed into ant kings and queens, one billion ant kings and queens can be condensed. However... there will be no source of food."
Chu Xingyun nodded in understanding. He knew that although worker ants and soldier ants had weak combat power, they were responsible for searching for food, hunting, and transporting food.
As ant kings and queens, these two major soldier types did not know how to search for food or transport. Apart from combat and reproduction, they knew nothing else.
Therefore, as a complete race, although worker ants and soldier ants had weak combat power, they were an indispensable part of the Demonic Ant Army. Without these two soldier types, the Demonic Ant Army would starve to death.
However, this was not a problem for Chu Xingyun.
Behind Chu Xingyun were hundreds of races in the entire Abyss. With the support of all humans, he could provide as much food as he wanted.
Most importantly, weren't these Fei 'an Clan members the best source of food?
Liao Ming Clan? Food?
Upon hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Chi Tong's large scarlet eyes flickered intensely, as if he was thinking and calculating something with all his might.
After a long time, Chi Tong said decisively, "The Feiliang Race has a large population and is full of energy. They are first-class food. I suggest that … you spend 10,000 soul energy to condense 10 million Martial Emperor Stage 9 Ant Kings and Ant Queens."
After a pause, Scarlet Eye continued, "If you have enough energy, I suggest you spend a million souls to create 100,000 half-step Emperor level Ant Kings and Ant Queens."
Hiss …
Upon hearing Chi Tong's words, Chu Xingyun could not help but widen his eyes.
One unit of soul energy could condense a Yin-Yang level worker ant, ten units of soul energy could condense a Nirvana level soldier ant, and a hundred units of soul energy could condense a Martial Emperor level Ant King and Ant Queen.
However, to condense a Martial Emperor Stage 9 Ant King and Ant Queen, the amount of soul energy required had increased by a hundred times!
What was even more ridiculous was that the amount of soul energy required to condense the Ant King and Ant Queen, which were only half a level higher than the Ninth Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm, was a hundred times more than the soul energy required to condense the Ant King and Ant Queen! This …
Looking at Chu Xingyun's shocked expression, Chi Tong said calmly, "Although a half-step Emperor is also a Martial Emperor, to be able to reach the half-step Emperor level means that you have the potential to become an Emperor. You cannot be mentioned in the same breath as a normal Stage 9 Martial Emperor."
After a pause, Chi Tong continued, "Although a half-step Emperor is not much different from a Martial Emperor Stage 9, a Martial Emperor Stage 9 Martial Emperor is unable to become an Emperor. However, a half-step Emperor has the potential to become an Emperor."
Upon hearing Chi Tong's words, Chu Xingyun instantly understood. He quickly said, "I understand now … You mean to say that the hundredfold increase in soul energy is actually an increase in one's foundation, allowing them to have the potential to become an Emperor, right?"
Nodding his head, the Demonic Ant Emperor Chi Tong said, "That's right. That's the truth. You should know that … most Martial Emperors are unable to become a half-step Emperor."
Sighing and nodding his head, Chu Xingyun said, "That's right. A Martial Emperor is a Martial Emperor. It has nothing to do with an Emperor. However, a half-step Emperor is different. They are the seeds of an Emperor. "
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xingyun said, "Then, can we use more soul energy to condense an Emperor level Ant King and Ant Queen?"
Nodding his head, the Demonic Ant Emperor said, "Yes, of course we can … By using a hundred million soul energy, we can condense an Emperor level Ant King or Ant Queen."
Hearing the Demonic Ant Emperor's words, Chu Xingyun immediately became excited. His eyes lit up as he said, "If that's the case, doesn't that mean we can condense a thousand Emperor level Ant Kings or Ant Queens?"
Looking at Chu Xingyun hesitantly, Chi Tong said, "In theory, that's true. However, the prerequisite is that you can provide enough resources for the Ant Kings and Ant Queens to consume."
Pausing for a moment, Chi Tong said, "Basically, after consuming all the magic crystals in the Demonic Ant Palace, we can condense a hundred thousand half-step Emperor level Ant Kings or Ant Queens."
As for condensing a thousand Emperor level Ant Kings or Ant Queens, they would need a hundred times the amount of resources!
A hundred times the amount of resources!
Chu Xingyun was speechless when he recalled the huge amount of spiritual stones that had been plundered from the entire underground world after the Demonic Ant Palace.
After tens of thousands of years, they had only managed to gather a valley full of spiritual stones. Wanting to obtain a hundred times the amount of resources in such a short period of time was simply a pipe dream.
Looking at Chu Xingyun's speechless expression, Chi Tong said, "Basically, if we empty the Qiankun World's crust and dig out all the spiritual stones for the Demonic Ants to consume, we can condense a thousand Emperor level Ant Kings and Ant Queens. Are you sure you want to do that?"
No, no, no …
Chu Xingyun hurriedly waved his hand and said with a bitter smile, "Forget it, forget it. Let's condense a hundred thousand half-step Emperor level Ant Kings and Ant Queens first …"
Shaking his head, Chi Tong said, "I can understand the Ant Kings, but the Ant Queens' combat abilities are not strong. Most of their energy is concentrated in the reproduction system. Hence … if you are purely interested in combat, condensing the Ant Kings will do."
As he spoke, Chi Tong waved his hand and condensed an illusory figure of the Ant Kings. He then explained in detail.
