Flesh is weak, but the swarm and technology ascend together!
The spark of a higher-dimensional civilization, the [Source Core], plunges into a rift in space-time, abruptly tearing apart the fates of two worlds. Chinese soldier Lin Che dies on a mission, but his consciousness is not extinguished. He awakens in an underground abyss, only to find himself the weakest soldier ant in a colony of worker ants. In this dark realm, where pheromones rule all and mandibles decide life and death, memories of his humanity are quietly returning, carried by the tremble of his antennae...
While the entire ant race still follows ancient instincts, carrying eggs and serving the queen, ghostly images of human warfare and steel armies keep appearing in the depths of Lin Che's compound eyes. The [Source Core] is awakening in his consciousness, breaking the shackles of the evolutionary chain and forcibly connecting cold silicon-based code to neural networks of flesh and blood.
From the moment he first gives an order to worker ants in a worker ant's body, the fate of this entire colony is turned upside down forever.
The visions of two civilizations overlap and burn in his compound eyes:
"If humans see us as mere ants..."
Lin Che thrums his wings, his pheromones sweeping through the neural network of the entire colony like a plague.
"Then let them see..."
"That even ants can bite through a giant's throat."
"Let this fire beneath the earth..."
"Burn through the crust, consume the stars, and rewrite the end of civilization!"
Humanity has steel armies? So do we.
A global military satellite system? Is it any use? We're underground.
I want evolution, and I want technology too.
This is a war for survival spreading from beneath the earth to the sea of stars.
Have you... really seen the world beneath your feet?
