When the Demon Monk attached himself to the Insect King, he merely suppressed the Insect King's original intentions, rather than completely extinguishing them.

If the day comes when the Demon Monk is weakened, the Insect King will naturally reappear.

Vilampu would not take action for the Demon Monk, but would for the Insect King.

Song Yan let out a long sigh and said, "You allowed the Demon Monk to possess you on purpose, didn't you?"

The Insect King said, "Indeed, the Ancestor knew long ago that the Changwang Hu contained a Demon Monk, but they did not know if there were any more advanced Sea of Suffering beings or Celestial Demons, so to be safe, I entered in, and they stayed out.

We of the Vilampu Proud Insect Race have unique bodies; should the Demon Monk or another Sea of Suffering being wish to escape, they would inevitably use our bodies, and at that time... the Ancestor could simply extract the Changwang Evil Pearl from within me.

It was just unexpected that while the Ancestor calculated the Celestial Demon's possession, they didn't foresee that you had seized half of the Changwang Evil Pearl.

You fell into the Sea of Suffering, no one could have imagined you would return alive.

Yet the Ancestor still had hope, always waiting.

Finally, when they saw the Demon Monk move, they knew you had returned.

However, they also didn't know your identity, so they allowed the Demon Monk to cause trouble everywhere, to find you, and then after the Demon Monk and you completed the fusion that should have been accomplished over a hundred years ago, the Ancestor would come to take the treasure."

Song Yan said, "Is it worth it?"

The Insect King indifferently said, "The Changwang Tiger Race was arranged to exist solely to be refined into this Evil Treasure for thousands of years, yet you took it. Do you think it's worth it?"

Song Yanqi wondered, "Your Vilampu Proud Insect Race could still arrange the Changwang Tiger Race. No! You mean... you created the Changwang Tiger Race?"

The Insect King smiled faintly but did not answer, instead closing its eyes and saying, "Come, devour me, since I cannot merge with you, then let you merge with me. For the Ancestor, the outcome is the same.

Of course, you can also choose to jump into the Sea of Suffering, to the land on its edge, but... I advise you not to do that, for it is mere futile effort. The edge of the Sea of Suffering may block the Purple Mansion, but it can't block someone like the Ancestor."

Song Yan looked at it, sneering coldly, "Do you think by saying this, I won't dare to devour you, and you can live?

Just like the Demon Monk's tactic, one begs pitifully, one remains calm.

In the end, it's all just threats, to keep me from devouring you."

The Insect King smiled indifferently, "I am merely stating a fact. The waters of the Changwang Tiger Race run deep, and the refined Evil Treasure is unique among many Evil Treasures.

Carrying such a heavy treasure, you have already borne a great cause and effect and will inevitably face endless pursuit. Even fleeing to the ends of the earth is useless.

The only solution is for you to follow me out, enter my Insect Race's camp, and cooperate with me. Let me find a way to extract the Changwang Evil Pearl from within you.

This is your only chance for survival.

Your potential is extraordinary, and your power is not bad. The Ancestor cherishes talent and would absolutely not kill you.

In this, I can swear a Divine Soul Oath to guarantee your life.

Of course, during this process, I will certainly survive, but it isn't just about me surviving, is it?

Song Yan, you are a smart person, you should know what choice to make."

Song Yan squinted at him, suddenly saying, "Give me more reasons."

The Insect King calmly smiled, "What more reasons do you need?"

Song Yan said, "The reason Ye Suiyun betrayed the Night King Ancient Race."

The Insect King hesitated, but indeed, as Song Yan had said, it was now protecting its own life. If there was information that could save its life, it would naturally reveal it.

Thus, it smiled and said, "This, well, let me tell you, it will help you set your mind at ease."

Song Yan showed a look of solemnity, sighed deeply, and seemed to falter in resolve. After all, what the Insect King said made a lot of sense. As the beneficiary of the Changwang Evil Pearl, he naturally knew the pearl's uniqueness. If someone deliberately cultivated it, he'd be in great trouble, so great that, as the Insect King said, he should find a way to get rid of this treasure.

Thus, he looked at the Insect King with anticipation.

The Insect King indifferently said, "Above the Divine Infant Realm is the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Since the time of the Purple Mansion, utilizing the heavens and earth to nurture the Divine Soul; once the Divine Soul is strong, it breeds the world anew with its strength.

Those who transform into divinity can gestate a Lifebound Secret Realm, which is the origin of many Ancient Tribes and Demon Races.

However, although it's called Divinity Transformation, there are actually two choices.

One is to ascend the Divine List.

One is to accept the Immortal Position.

On the Divine List, one can rise to the heavens in a single step, manipulate the power of heaven and earth, becoming incredibly powerful, but correspondingly... the divine relies on the heavens, and its Lifebound Secret Realm is entirely subject to heaven's arrangement.

Look, the Primordial Ancestor of the Lingbo Ancient Race is a divine being. He gained immense power, yet his ancient race was moved by the heavens to plug the loophole in the Sea of Suffering, thus creating the Ice Mirror Soul Threshold.

Of course, while this side of the Lingbo Ancient Race is gone, the Lingbo Primordial Ancestor can still recreate it, perhaps this isn't even the first Lingbo Ancient Race he has created here.

Simply put, the divine race can be sacrificed at any time, no matter how powerful you become, you are still cannon fodder.

Immortals, however, are different.

The Lifebound Secret Realm of an Immortal is singular, it lives and dies with the Immortal.

Our ancestor of the Vilampu Proud Insect Race was a Divinity Transformation being, choosing the Immortal Position, not ascending the Divine List, thus creating our race. However, upon sensing an opportunity, they deliberately fell back to the Divine Infant Realm, returning to us.

Whereas your Formless Ancient Race, the Night King Ancient Race, like the Lingbo Ancient Race, have Primordial Ancestors who are divine, making you cannon fodder.

Thus, when Ye Suiyun understood this a thousand years ago, he naturally ceased cultivating his tribe's Purple Mansion Secret Technique and switched to practicing other techniques, joining our race.

You... are only at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion, aren't you?
