Gu Li shouted again: "Everyone, listen to me. I know it's hard for everyone to accept, but this secret has reached the point where it must be revealed."
Gradually, the crowd quieted down again. Pairs of eyes, full of various emotions, stared intently at Gu Li, hoping he would provide a clear explanation.
Gu Li carefully recalled and, in a heavy tone, recounted the secret his father had once told him.
"A long, long time ago, our tribe was called the Ant Tribe, and our Guardian God was not the fierce Red Ant, but the powerful Black Ant God."
"At that time, the Ant Tribe was very strong, and the bond between us and the Black Ants was deep. We fought together, lived together, treating them as friends and brothers."
"But one day, the Red Ant God came. It sneaked into the Ant Nest, killed the Black Ant God, and used a special method to confuse the Black Giant Ants in the nest, making those Black Giant Ants support it as the new Ant Queen."
