Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 697 697: Information Sharing

At this moment, upon hearing Herag mention it, the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor's memories were stirred once more, bringing a sense of nostalgia.

Unfortunately, it had been countless years since that time.

When the Abyss Plane moved near the Insect Race Plane, the two sides engaged in a prolonged plane war.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor was already at the Ancestral Level back then and gained considerable benefits from that plane war.

However, with the Abyss Plane now far away, the position of the Insect Race Plane can no longer be found and, naturally, it's difficult to get there.

At least for the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor, there's no coordinate for the Insect Race Plane at hand.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor, upon hearing that Herag intended not to attack the Insect Race Plane but solely to enter and retrieve something, was initially uninterested.

Petty disturbances held no interest for the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor.

But suddenly, he thought that although this time there were only a few people going, meaning they couldn't do too much, they could seize this opportunity to obtain the coordinates of the Insect Race Plane.

Once they had the stable coordinates of the Insect Race Plane, they could slowly strategize in the future.

It's very difficult to obtain stable coordinates of a plane from outside, but now with direct entry into the Insect Race Plane, obtaining stable coordinates was exceedingly easy for the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor.

After some thought, the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor said, "Just as well, I have nothing else to do lately, I'll act as your escort."

Herag, realizing his plan had been seen through, touched the back of his head and said, "Thank you very much!"

"Let's set off." The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor, decisive and efficient, was ready to leave.

He had little to prepare since it wasn't a grand invasion.

For him, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

Herag and Toad had been prepared for a while, so naturally, they could set off immediately.

The Toad jumped down from Herag's shoulder, rapidly swelling in size, eventually opening its mouth to reveal a dark, bottomless space vortex.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor looked at this space vortex, finally giving Toad a proper glance, "Interesting."

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor then directly entered the space passage without fearing any shenanigans from Herag or Toad, perhaps showing that he was bold due to his skills.

Herag followed suit, and then the Toad closed its mouth and vanished as well.

...

On the Insect Race Plane, atop a massive blue planet.

The three of them, Herag and company, appeared in the midst of a forest, with a peaceful atmosphere surrounding them.

This was an area the Boundary Land had previously surveyed and was known to be of very low danger level.

Thus, Toad selected this place as their landing spot.

Many forms of life inhabited this planet, but there were no signs of the Insect Race itself, only some ordinary life forms and less-developed civilizations.

"Can you sense which direction it's in?" After scouting the surroundings and confirming no threats, Herag asked Toad.

Toad glanced at the stars, "It should be in that direction."

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor floated in front of the two, his gaze continuously surveying the surroundings, apparently curious about or nostalgic for the place as well.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor had restrained his aura entirely, even the natural emanations were fully controlled.

Otherwise, with his kind of emanation, the area would be torn asunder with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on his mere appearance.

The energy force field around an Ancestor is a calamity to ordinary beings and environments.

Herag swiftly scanned the planet, finding nothing of value before the three departed, heading towards the boundless starry sky.

Toad could only faintly discern a direction but couldn't determine the exact distance.

Moreover, something seemed to be shrouding his body, rendering his senses less precise.

Upon leaving the planet, they were enveloped by the boundless universe, surrounded by countless stars.

Floating in the void, Herag found the sensation of having no up or down rather wondrous.

The location Toad sensed was within a distant star system group, requiring closer proximity to ascertain the precise position.

The Insect Race clusters aren't omnipresent; they generally have a few inhabited areas.

For example, around this blue planet, there was no sign of them, allowing the life forms here to thrive peacefully to this day.

This wasn't due to any benevolence of the Insect Race, merely that this planet was fortunate enough not to be within any insect territory, otherwise it would've already been discovered.

If discovered by the Insect Race, the planet would swiftly be devoured clean.

All flesh and food would be taken back to their nests by the Insect Race Demons, as part of their routine hunting.

Herag and his companions traveled discreetly and cautiously, using numerous planets and dust as cover while advancing.

This was specifically requested by the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor.

"Why so cautious?" Herag asked in confusion.

With the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor's power, even traveling carefully seemed unnecessary, making Herag question if he had underestimated the Insect Race's strength.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor replied, "Aren't you here to find something? Naturally, you must be careful. Remember, within the Insect Race's group, information is shared among all demons."

"Information sharing? That means..." Herag suddenly understood.

Information sharing implies that within a group, all the visual, auditory, olfactory, and any sensed information by one insect is shared with the entire group.

Every scene seen by a single demon can be instantly seen by the entire Insect Race group.

Reflecting on the massive number of an Insect Race group, Herag began to see the potential trouble.

If seen by even one Insect, it's as if the entire Insect race group has seen you.

And the king of that group has also seen you.

Herag gained insight into why the Insect Race's king can efficiently command the whole group; this is the reason.

An Insect Race group could have millions, tens of millions, or even billions of demons.

Managing such a vast number of subordinates is nearly impossible for an average person; no one could allocate that much attention.

But if the Insect Race possesses the talent of information sharing, it's a different story.

Though the Insect Race group's number seems huge, in reality, they can all adhere to the will of a single king.

Herag realized that if they were spotted by any member of an Insect Race group.

If the opponent assesses that they can overpower them, they would attack en masse, making it extremely difficult to elude.

The sheer number of insects means getting caught in their eyes is a troublesome affair; innumerable insects from a far distance track you, and the entire group remains constantly informed of your movements.

In such a scenario, unless one's power is suffused enough to effortlessly sweep through an Insect Race group, handling it would be challenging.
