After Darren fell asleep, he dreamed that he had morphed into a bee and flew around in flowering shrubs.
A swarm of bees was busy with their work nearby, and he went to greet them. He rationalized that he had dreamed of becoming a bee, as before he had fallen asleep, he had considered becoming an insect as it would help him to communicate with the bugs around him.
"Wait a minute!
I have reached the Super Emperor Realm. How can I possibly dream?"
Darren suddenly woke up. 'A super emperor can dream? How is that possible?'
Intrigued, he released his spiritual sense to watch himself. To his surprise, at this moment, he really was a bee.
'Ha-ha.' Darren was delighted. 'My effort paid off. It turns out that I mastered the Copying Rule without realizing it. And since I've been thinking about turning into a bee, it was actualized the moment I went to sleep.'
After a few months of hard work, Darren had finally achieved his goal. The next step for him was to communicate with the bugs.
Darren flew around for a little before landing in the green grass.
"Help! Help! Boohoo."
After walking for a while, Darren heard a faint cry for help.
He ran in the direction the voice had come from and saw that a group of big black ants had surrounded a weak bee.
They drooled a fishy, smelly liquid. It was apparent that they wanted to eat that little bee.
"Leave her alone!"
A protective urge surged within Darren, and he couldn't help but shout at the sight.
The ants turned and let out a faint but ferocious roar.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They rushed toward Darren at lightning speed.
"What?"
Darren's heart skipped a beat. Now that the ants threatened him, he readied himself to activate the blade and sword intents.
However, he found that he could not use any skill!
"Damn it!" Darren frowned and shouted. His elixir field had disappeared after he transformed into a bee, and his skills had vanished.
As the angry ants continued to dash toward him, Darren's first reaction was to flee. He could feel that they were as strong as cultivators at the top level of the Emperor Realm.
Buzz...
Darren flew as fast as he could, trying to escape.
'Wait.' After flying for a while, Darren thought his reaction was improper. 'Since my goal is to make all the living creatures believe in me, then I'll start from that little bee. I must save her first.'
Thinking of this, Darren made his way back.
After a short while, he found the little restless bee.
That little bee was unable to fly as her wings were entangled in a spider's web. The ants had besieged her as she was trapped, and hence, an easy target.
"Help me, boohoo."
Her tender, child-like voice reached Darren's ears.
"Don't be afraid!"
Darren reassured as he flew over and caught the little bee with his forelegs.
However, since the spider web was too clingy, he failed to free the little bee. To his dismay, he had gotten stuck to the spider web as well.
"What should we do, Uncle? You are also trapped. Boohoo." The little bee panicked and sobbed uncontrollably.
Unsure of how to help her and himself, Darren glanced around. Just then, he saw that the black ants, who had been chasing him, were nearing.
"Fuck off!"
Darren roared fiercely, but it didn't frighten them. They were not afraid of him at all.
Whoosh!
Several black ants quickly rushed over, bit Darren and the little bee's legs, and dragged them out.
