The whole world has undergone beastification, and humans mutate according to the last animal they eat.
Some devour dinosaur meat and transform into Tyrannosaurs; others eat a Siberian tiger and become Roaring Moon Tiger Kings.
As for me, Lin Yuan, reborn and back before the beast transformation began, I tearfully stir-fried a plate of “exploding giant-mouth bugs”!
[Ding! You have devoured the genes of a “bug” and evolved into the collective will of billions of insects: the Insect Overlord!]
From then on, I embarked on an evolutionary path despised by the whole world, yet feared by gods and demons!
In the early days of the beast transformation, while Dragon Kings were still learning to breathe fire and Tiger Kings ruled their mountain forests, Lin Yuan's billions of insects already blotted out the sky and silently took control of every city!
Devour [Venomous Spider]: the swarm gains “neurotoxin”!
Devour [Electric Eel]: the swarm gains a “bioelectric grid”!
Devour [Phoenix Remains]: billions of undying netherfire locusts blot out the sky, burning everything in their path!
Tyrannosaurus Mutant: “My claws can tear through tanks, so why can't they rip apart this endless swarm?”
Guardian of the Dragon Kingdom: “Alert! Satellite imagery shows the east is covered by the shadow of an unknown life-form. Is that... insects?!”
The world's number-one beauty, the Snake Empress: “If Lin Yuan is willing to protect me, I'll offer him my most precious S-rank genes!”
While the world's strongest fought desperately over a single rare gene, Lin Yuan's Insect Empire had already risen in secret.
“This time, I'll use the bloodline everyone despises to reach the pinnacle of evolution. I am the calamity!”
