Douluo: Transforming Xiao Wu into a Zerg Queen Was Just the Beginning-Chapter 94: Controlling the Zerg?

At the moment, based on what this so-called Zerg progenitor had said, it was clear to Tang San that this entity was not the consciousness of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

Tang San was absolutely certain of this.

After all, in this world, the concept of "the universe" was practically unheard of — at least, Tang San had never heard anyone mention it before.

Only during his previous life in the Tang Sect had he once glimpsed ancient texts that described the universe, sneaking peeks at forbidden books.

Only those who had cultivated to perfection, reaching the boundary between mortal and immortal realms, could ascend to higher planes — and even then, it was said that only the most exceptional beings could so much as brush the threshold of the true universe.

From this, it was clear: the "universe" represented a plane of existence far, far beyond the current world.

Tang San even secretly speculated — perhaps he had never heard mention of it because the Soul Masters he had encountered were not powerful enough.

Could it be that only by surpassing the Title Douluo rank would one have the chance to touch upon knowledge of the universe?

If that were the case, then everything this "Zerg progenitor" said would make sense.

However, regardless of whether it was true or not, Tang San knew that against such a being, he stood no chance whatsoever.

At the same time, this Zerg progenitor must be extremely weakened.

If it still had its true strength, it would have easily crushed him instead of patiently speaking.

After all, Tang San was no longer the naive boy he had once been.

He understood deeply — in this world, only strength mattered.

The law of the jungle reigned supreme.

Suppressing his turbulent emotions, Tang San forced himself to speak as calmly as possible:

"Then tell me — what can you offer me? What is your true purpose?"

The Zerg progenitor answered without hesitation:

"Human, I need your power to heal myself. As compensation, I will grant you a... special ability."

It had clearly anticipated Tang San’s reaction. If Tang San had shown no curiosity at all, that would have been more suspicious.

Tang San narrowed his eyes.

"What kind of special ability?"

The Zerg progenitor’s half-bloodshot eye scanned around, searching for something to demonstrate its power.

Coincidentally, a line of ants was crawling past Tang San’s hand, which was resting against the ground.

In an instant, a deep red light flashed within the bloodshot eye, and Tang San felt something burst outward from within his body.

The ants suddenly froze, raising their tiny heads in perfect unison — faint crimson glows flickering on their delicate antennae.

"There. That is the special ability I can grant you."

Buzz!

As the Zerg progenitor finished speaking, Tang San suddenly felt a surge of memory and a strange spiritual energy flood into his mind.

Tang San frowned slightly, just about to respond — when he noticed something strange happening inside his spiritual sea.

Looking down, he was shocked to realize:

Invisible threads of spiritual energy now connected him directly to the ants on the ground.

Could it be...?

Tang San tested it immediately, sending out a silent command in his mind:

"Climb onto my hand."

Rustle rustle!

The ants trembled, then obediently formed a neat line and slowly crawled up onto the back of Tang San’s hand.

It worked!

Tang San’s eyes widened.

A mixture of surprise and exhilaration surged through him.

"Zerg progenitor... What exactly is this ability?"

The progenitor let out a deep, unsettling chuckle.

"Hehehe... This is a basic instinct of our race. You can control lower-tier Zerg units, making them obey your will."

Zerg units?

Tang San’s mind raced.

Could it mean... he could control insect-type soul beasts as well?

Pushing forward, he asked:

"Can I control any kind of insect? Is there a limit?"

"Of course there are limits," the progenitor said.

"The number you can control depends on the strength of your spiritual power. The stronger your mind, the more units you can command."

So that's how it worked!

Tang San calmed himself quickly, focusing on absorbing the influx of memories and information.

It seemed that if he continued to strengthen his spiritual power, it wouldn't be a dream to control insect-type soul beasts!

And of all things, Tang San was least lacking in ways to improve his mental strength!

After all, the Purple Demon Eye was a specialized cultivation technique for enhancing his spiritual sense.

If he combined that with this new ability, he could massively boost his own safety and combat effectiveness!

A flicker of excitement crossed Tang San’s face — but he quickly reined it in.

In a cold voice, he said:

"This ability is rather underwhelming. Once your injuries are healed, you’d better leave quickly. Otherwise... don't blame me for being merciless."

"Hehehehehe..."

The Zerg progenitor simply laughed — a dark, eerie sound, offering no further response.

Soon after, Tang San felt the hostile presence that had been clinging to his consciousness gradually retract.

Had it withdrawn back into his body?

The thought of having another living consciousness sharing his body filled Tang San with discomfort.

Yet for now, there was no better solution.

His gaze darkened, flashing with a sharp glint.

Shaking his head, Tang San turned and headed back toward Nuoding Academy.

Star Luo Empire.

Zhu Family.

In the rear courtyard—

Zhu Zhuyun gently closed her bedroom door behind her.

She stood motionless by the door, pressing her ear against it, listening carefully for any movements outside.

After a few moments, confirming that no one was nearby, the warm smile she wore vanished, replaced by a cold, expressionless face.

Zhu Zhuyun then moved toward a folding screen that concealed her personal chambers — a place where no one else was allowed to enter.

She stepped into her private bedroom and, after a brief glance at the ground, a flash of crimson light flickered through her eyes.

The once-quiet floor suddenly twitched —

as though something alive was lurking beneath.

Squish, squish!

The sound of sticky, writhing flesh filled the room.

The ground pulsed violently, and soon, a shallow pit opened up in the center of the room.

The pit rapidly expanded, widening at an unnatural speed.

Before long, a deep, black abyss gaped wide in the center of Zhu Zhuyun’s bedroom.

Without hesitation, she leapt in.

Sliding down the fleshy, slick tunnel, she soon landed gracefully at the bottom.

The scene before her opened up into a grotesque, nightmarish expanse.

Twisting, pulsating walls of purple-black flesh stretched as far as the eye could see, forming organic tunnels dripping with a slimy, sickening sheen.

Without expression, Zhu Zhuyun proceeded forward.

Moments later, a massive underground cavern revealed itself.

Based on her calculations, this place should have been beneath the Zhu Family’s rear mountain.

But now...

The subterranean world had been completely transformed.

Gigantic Zerg structures — grotesque, organic, and terrifying — filled the space.

Countless Zerg creatures scurried about, each carrying out their assigned duties with mechanical precision.

All across the fleshy ground, spores were writhing and pulsing, hatching new lifeforms.

The entire scene resembled a new kind of hell —

one dripping with horror, madness, and a revolting, unnatural vitality.
