Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 985 - 682: Try Again (3)

"..."

Silence.

Skeptical gaze.

Dragon Cypress sighed and confidently said: "This is what I perceived and understood from the Natural Law, it cannot be wrong. Haven’t you had similar feelings?"

"No..."

"Vaguely?"

"Really?"

"Is there such a saying? No wonder."

Butterfly King Nupur and Bloodvine Bee King basically believed Dragon Cypress’s statement.

Dragon Cypress continued: "The Origin Force Star Realm is protected by the Law Divine Power of the Natural True God. Whether it’s Insect Clan Warriors or Origin Force Plants, they can gather Divine Marks relatively easily. Does the Outworld still have the protection of the Natural God? If not, isn’t everyone’s growth and evolution going to be very difficult?"

After speaking, Dragon Cypress turned to look at the Snow Velvet Spider King and said: "This is not my sole conclusion. Initially, it was the Snow Velvet Spider King who told me."

All eyes were firmly fixed on the Snow Velvet Spider King.

Snow Velvet Spider King: "..."

"All Origin Force Plants, the more Divine Marks they gather, the better. They should gather as many Divine Marks as possible before leaving the Star Realm. This fundamental principle is all you need to understand."

The Snow Velvet Spider King solemnly stated, then shifted the topic and asked: "Great Leader Dragon Cypress, you’re the only one on the continent with abundant financial resources to try, do you want to try counting on it?"

Blood Root Spider King advised: "You can’t take surplus resources with you, how will you deal with them? Donate them? Cultivate younger generation clansmen, leave them to the young insects? If you can transform them into Divine Marks of your own Blessed Seed to take them away, wouldn’t it be even better?"

Dragon Cypress pondered and reluctantly agreed: "It can be tried. However, I fear we’ll have to wait until the Ocean God’s Scepter is formally activated next time."

Dragon Cypress asked: "Then, should the Deep Blue God-Given Seed first take root here? We can erect columns underwater, set beams, and lay stone slabs, make do for this time."

All the insects agreed.

Dragon Cypress continued: "Next time, after the Ocean God is officially activated, I will migrate three Blessed Seeds here, including the Deep Blue God-Given Seed, surrounding the Ocean God’s Scepter, each in the east, south, west, and north."

All the insects nodded their tentacles in agreement again.

Dragon Cypress: "In such a small space, with four Blessed Seeds taking root, and the Ocean God’s Scepter competing for Origin Force. Even if they do not blossom or bear fruit, Natural Primordial Force would be insufficient. Certainly, a sum of Source Stones will have to be invested, estimated at 2 billion. Therefore, next time, it will be necessary to prepare 40 billion Source Stones in cash."

"Of that, 20 billion will be paid with an exclusive Promissory Note. The remaining 20 billion will be paid with Divine-Given Origin Force Food, 30 million per year, paid off in 67 years."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "No problem."

Spider King Water Orchid: "We’ll arrange it!"

Dragon Cypress: "Modify the surrounding city walls, make them thicker, I want to build an Ant Nest within the walls, to permanently reside here..."

Everyone gathered together, discussing and finalizing the details. All insects turned their attention again to the Deep Blue God-Given Seed.

Night fell,

Deep Blue sent a message again: "Dragon Cypress, the third Divine Mark is completed!"

In the latter part of the night,

Deep Blue successfully gathered the fourth Divine Mark.

The next morning,

The Ocean God’s Scepter’s Primordial Energy ran out, and automatically closed.

Deep Blue just happened to gather the fifth Divine Mark.

"Deep Blue, how do you feel?"

"I have become stronger."

"Stronger?"

"My Primordial Energy Force Field is stronger than before."

As Deep Blue spoke, an invisible Energy Field unfolded.

The range did not change.

It was faintly perceivable that such nourishing power for all things, flourishing life, was richer and stronger.

"..."

Dragon Cypress was stunned.

Thirty-eight billion!

The quantitative shift from one Divine Mark to five Divine Marks,

was only this small progress?

Deep Blue waited for two seconds, seeing Dragon Cypress did not ask any questions, proactively said: "Dragon Cypress, I also comprehended an actively released... ability?"

Dragon Cypress: "???"

To the side, the curious Butterfly King Nupur was startled, instinctively asked: "Ability? Can plants also comprehend abilities? Divine Mark Ability?"

"A kind of Purification Ability, which can purify substances or forces that have negative effects on life."

As Deep Blue spoke, a pale blue Primordial Energy emanated from the main trunk, like rippling water, forming ripples that spread out.

Similar to the Purifying-type Water System Ability ’cleansing’ that Dragon Cypress mastered.

Upon careful perception, the traits of Primordial Energy vastly differ from the abilities of Insect Clan Warriors, cannot be considered abilities, still, it is an Energy Field, one released only when necessary.

A Purification-type Energy Field...

Purification of what?

Apparently not very practical.

But it doesn’t matter.

The greatest function of the Blessed Seed is to produce high-quality Divine-Given Origin Force Food, others are secondary, Deep Blue does not need to do much.

Dragon Cypress praised: "Deep Blue, impressive! Very good!"

Dragon Cypress also said: "Deep Blue, temporarily root here, let’s gather another 38 billion Source Stones, and try again..."

...

Bloodvine Bee King summoned the Earth System Engineering Ants, dismantled the outer layer of the stone wall and reconstructed it, expanded it into a solid stone wall with a thickness of 15 meters and a height of 20 meters. The interior was hollow, divided into individual soldier’s nests, specifically for Dragon Cypress’s ant colony to reside.

The number of residing Specialized Blue Soldiers exceeded sixty thousand, daily food transport became troublesome.

Dragon Cypress personally guarded, plus sixty thousand Specialized Blue Soldiers, was sufficient to handle any emergency.

Spiked Cypress and Cypress regularly delivered batches of White Refining Beads and took with them batches of newly cultivated Specialized Blue Soldiers by Dragon Cypress.

Delivered back to Rainbow Island, to enhance Rainbow Island’s defense force.

...

Silver Cypress 248th year, Expedition Year.

This time, a large group of Insect Kings departed from the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom.

Correspondingly, a large group of new insects rose to positions.

...

Silver Cypress 250th year.

The first batch of eleven Sea God Fruits produced by the Blessed Seed of the Sharp Leaf Tree matured and were harvested.

As per agreement, all belonged to Dragon Cypress.

Five were lent to the Flame Spider Tribe and were to be repaid during the fourth batch’s auction.

One was lent to the Mountain Pepper Ant King, with one automatically repaid to Dragon Cypress from the next batch produced.

The Mountain Pepper Ant King was aging and tired, planning to leave with the Snow Velvet Spider King group.

The remaining five Sea God Fruits were each used by Ink Orchid, Cypress, Silver Cypress, Black Birch, and Rainbow Parasol Tree.
