# Chapter 2325: I'm Not a Bug Anymore
At this, Chong Qianjin's expression turned utterly grim!
But now wasn't the time for sulking. The Sequence War was imminent, Chong Bishi had stepped down, and the Swarm was crippled!
The Insect Race now only had her as the sole Star Devourer, standing alone and weak. Chong Feiyu, who had recovered her rank and completed her evolution, was an extremely powerful combat force!
More importantly, the resources she held in her hands—those 241 mining areas!
Even if she had to swallow her pride, she had to win her back, or else the Insect Race would struggle to maintain its position among the top ten sequences!
Chong Qianjin forced a dry smile onto her face:
(⌒◡⌒;)"If I made a mistake, I apologize. I'm sorry!"
"We're all Insect Race. There's no rift that can't be mended. As long as you come back, I can make concessions. I'm willing to step back to a secondary position!"
"The mining areas that Chong Bishi controlled can also be given to you to manage. Whatever conditions you want, just name them! I'll do my best…"
Yet Chong Feiyu's gaze was icy cold:
(￢_￢)"Too late! Everything is too late. I don't want anyone's apology!"
"If 'sorry' was enough, what would I be needed for? My connection with the Insect Race was severed the moment Chong Bishi pulled me out of the Xianling Cocoon Shell and threw me into the Ming He Death Prison with no one caring!"
"I don't hate the Insect Race! I just hate the version of the Insect Race that you control! From today onward, I, Chong Feiyu, draw a clear line with the Insect Race! I alone am the Insect Race!"
Chong Qianjin clenched her teeth, eyes narrowing. I've already lowered myself, and you're refusing to appreciate the favor? What more do you want? For me to kneel before you?
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅)"Don't speak so absolutely. Born as Insect Race, you're Insect Race for life. This is a brand! You can't escape it!"
Chong Feiyu said coldly: "Is that so? Then I, Chong Feiyu, won't be a bug anymore!"
As she spoke, she reached out her small hand toward Jiangnan!
(๑ˇ～ˇ๑)っ
Jiangnan was taken aback, tilted his head, and reached out to high-five Chong Feiyu!
=͟͟͞͞(٥꒪ᗜ꒪)人(°ー°〃)
Chong Feiyu: !!!
(งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง"Who wants to high-five with you, for crying out loud! Read the atmosphere! The atmosphere! You know what I want! Are you giving it or not?"
[From Chong Feiyu: Resentment +666!]
Jiangnan froze, then rubbed his nose and looked seriously at Chong Feiyu:
(｡･ˇกˇ･｡)"Have you really thought it through? No regrets?"
Chong Feiyu nodded heavily: "As long as you all don't despise me!"
Jiangnan grinned: "A little rich woman~ And a Star Devourer big shot! How could I despise you?"
"Here, take it and eat it~"
With that, he pulled a stalk of zuoren grass shimmering with starlight from his pocket and stuffed it into Chong Feiyu's hand!
This stalk of zuoren grass was the only one left in Jiangnan's possession. He had kept it all along, not even using it when he encountered the Ming He Koi Fish!
It was for a moment like this!
But Jiangnan wouldn't bring it up, wouldn't force Chong Feiyu to eat it. This decision had to be hers alone.
And Chong Feiyu hadn't made this decision impulsively. In fact, when she first escaped and learned about the zuoren grass, she had already been considering it.
She had no lingering attachment to the Insect Race, only disappointment.
Back then, she had secretly made a decision in her heart: if Jiangnan could truly help her reclaim everything that once belonged to her, then she would become human.
Having been through so much together, Jiangnan was worthy of her trust.
As a human Star Devourer, protecting his race—this was the most meaningful way Chong Feiyu could think of to repay his kindness.
Jiangnan had done it, never betraying her trust.
So now, it was her turn to repay him generously!
Without hesitation, Chong Feiyu stuffed the zuoren grass into her mouth and swallowed it.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, intense starlight burst from Chong Feiyu's body, enveloping her completely!
The next moment, the starlight faded, and Chong Feiyu reappeared, her appearance almost unchanged.
But… she seemed more perfect now, even the Xianling Wings on her back had a sense of completeness.
Even Chong Feiyu herself looked at her hands in disbelief.
∑(°⌓°๑) Heaven!
This… this is the human gene sequence?
This infinite potential, this terrifyingly adaptable nature—it made Chong Feiyu's pretty face flush with excitement!
It even allowed her imperfect perfect carbon-based form to take another step forward, extending the path.
Chong Feiyu now felt that she possessed the possibility of becoming even stronger!
Wang Youzhi chuckled darkly:
(๑◔ꇴ◔ิ)"How about it? Shocked, aren't you? It's not a waste to become human. Your human identity has perfected your evolutionary path, giving you more possibilities!"
"The ceiling has been raised. You're not at a loss!"
Chong Feiyu nodded excitedly. How could she be at a loss? She was completely profiting!
She never thought she could become stronger after completing her metamorphosis, but the zuoren grass gave her that possibility.
Not only that, she even gained a basketful of empty skill slots! Her attack methods would become even richer!
Jiangnan tilted his head and looked at her curiously.
(๑•̌◠•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ Is it really as amazing as Dazhi says?
At this moment, Di Chou and the others watched Chong Feiyu's transformation, their faces sinking completely.
Chong Qianjin's expression was extremely ugly:
(°益°|||)"Chong Feiyu! What have you done? What does this mean?"
Chong Feiyu puffed out her chest and patted it:
"As you can see! I now possess human identity. From now on, I will guard humanity as a human Star Devourer, active in the starry sky!"
"The Insect Queen's abilities can be regarded as my superpower. I can be human! Or I can be Insect Race!"
Chong Qianjin's eyes were bloodshot, trembling with rage as she pointed at Chong Feiyu's nose and cursed.
(ꐦ・`益´・)☛ "Damn it! Chong Feiyu! Do you know what you're doing? What are you saying? This is an act of betrayal against the Insect Race! You are the shame of the Insect Race!"
Chong Feiyu sneered: "Don't put that big hat on me. I betrayed the Insect Race? What a joke! Who betrayed whom first?"
"I'm just returning the favor, tit for tat!"
Chong Qianjin was furious: "Have you lost your mind? Going to the human race as a Star Devourer? They're just using you! If you had no value, would Jiangnan help you?"
"When they have their own Star Devourer, they will definitely exclude you and find a way to kill you. 'Those not of my race must have different intentions'—don't you understand that?"
Jiangnan frowned and opened his mouth to speak, but Chong Feiyu raised her small hand and covered his mouth.
"Right and wrong, I will judge with my own eyes. If it really turns out as you say, then I, Chong Feiyu, am blind, and I'll accept it!"
Looking at Chong Feiyu's serious eyes, Jiangnan suddenly smiled. Yes, any promise is powerless in the face of reality.
No one can guarantee the future. Both sides' decisions were made out of mutual trust.
After comprehensive consideration, they made their choices. So any words are unnecessary.
Jiangnan smiled and said nothing, silently deciding in his heart: regardless of the future, if you don't betray me, I won't betray you.
Killing the donkey after it's done grinding is the most detestable thing. Jiangnan never wanted to become the person he hated.
Now, not only Chong Qianjin was panicked, but the other races were also worried.
Chong Feiyu had gained human identity and become a human Star Devourer?
Once the human race had a Star Devourer guarding their home base, the situation would be completely different.
Chong Feiyu was no weakling—she could even suppress Mai Liushi!
The Insect Race's actions had actually eliminated two of their own Star Devourers, allowing Jiangnan to pick up a Star Devourer big shot for free!
This wasn't just about gaining a foothold—this was putting down roots!
But this was Chong Feiyu's own choice. What could others say?
No one could easily change the will of a Star Devourer.
Humanity having an additional Star Devourer was now a done deal.
Chong Feiyu said coldly: "Now! Can you get the hell out of my 665 mining area? You're not welcome here!"
Di Chou was furious and opened his mouth to curse, but Yu Gen grabbed his shoulder.
Yu Gen half-opened his eyes and said indifferently:
(≖_≖◟)"Since you have abandoned your Insect Race identity and become a human Star Devourer, the 241 rich mining areas under your name naturally no longer belong to you."
"You don't think that by going to the human race, the mining resources under your name will also fall under human control, do you?"
"The Star Mine Bureau will reclaim all the rich mining areas under your name and redistribute them! Don't forget, the human race is at the bottom of the sequence and has no qualification to hold rich mining areas!"
Chong Feiyu glared: "On what basis? These rich mining areas are my personal assets. I paid the contract fees myself. The spirit contract is still in effect!"
"I have the right to decide how to handle these mining areas! What right do you have to confiscate them?"
Chong Qianjin said coldly: "Because you are Insect Race! Only with Insect Race identity can you contract these mining areas. Although they are in your personal name, they are actually racial assets!"
"Without Insect Race identity, you don't even have the qualification to contract rich mining areas! You were borrowing the Insect Race's light!"
"If you still want to be a big mine lord, then honestly return to the Insect Race. I can let bygones be bygones!"
"Going to the human race as a Star Devourer and wanting to take the Insect Race's mines with you? Are you joking with me across the stars? Do you think that's possible?"
Chong Feiyu trembled with anger: "Borrowing the Insect Race's light? Do you think the Insect Race climbed to the eighth sequence without my contribution? Without me, would the Insect Race have risen?"
"Try confiscating my mines and see! Who gave you the authority?"
She stepped forward, but Jiangnan grabbed her small hand and pulled her behind him.
Di Chou sneered: "Who gave us authority? We are authority itself! On what basis? Just the will of the Sacred Law Council!"
"Do you think who rules this starry sky? Who started the Thousand Stars Era? Who made the operating rules of this starry sky?"
"We do whatever we want! Because the Sacred Law Council is the rule-maker! Don't accept it? What can you do about it?"
Yakeli watched coldly from the side, detesting the Thousand Stars Era with every fiber of his being.
Di Chou sneered at Jiangnan: "I know what you want to do. You want humanity to obtain the resources of these 241 rich mining areas, break the blockade, use these resources that money can't buy to let the human race step onto the high-speed train of development!"
"I have to say, you've won beautifully this time! Not only did you recruit a group of experts by entering the Ming He Death Prison, but you also made humanity gain a foothold and even earned a Star Devourer!"
"If there were a regret medicine in this world, I would never give you this chance again. I would never play this game with you again!"
As he spoke, Di Chou's gaze grew even more sinister.
"You've won enough already. Don't push it. To be honest, if you hide in the Dimensional Gap your whole life, we really can't do anything to you!"
"But today, I'll lay it out for you! These 241 rich mining areas of Chong Feiyu—even if I die, I won't let you have them! If you want to mine them, don't even think about it!"
"This is the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang, under the starry sky! Not in your Dimensional Gap! As long as it's under the stars, it's the Sacred Law Council's world!"
"You won't touch a single grain of ore!"
