Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 711 - 593: Little Ink Orchid_2

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Perhaps, we can exchange for it. But as for the war on Blue Island, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Ghost King Sophora Seeds can double the physical attributes at the level of bloodline. Dragon Cypress Ant King, have you ever thought that for the Ant Clan and Bee Clan, this enhancement could be passed on to the entire colony?"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Just think, if your Specialized Blue Soldiers reached a body length of 3.5 to 4 meters, had their Primordial Energy reserves doubled, and their overall physical attributes doubled as well—what would that mean? According to my estimation, the individual comprehensive combat ability would increase by three to five times! Once the numbers go up—hundreds of thousands—forming ranks into an army, the boost will be even greater."

Dragon Cypress solemnly moved his tentacles, saying, "I've considered this issue. In theory, that's how it should be. If it really is so, the Ghost King Sophora Seeds would be an absolute qualitative leap for me."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "I, Snow Velvet, have never done loan business, but this time, I can make an exception. Dragon Cypress Ant King, how about this—the first batch of Ghost King Sophora Seeds we get, the one meant for me, I will lend it to you... principal plus interest, you only need to repay five Wild King-Level Divine-Given Seeds."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "This loan is high risk, so the interest is also a bit high."

"..."

Dragon Cypress was silent.

Ink Orchid and Red Peach also said nothing.

Wild King-Level Divine-Given Seeds, based on a medium yield of 500,000 per year, five would be 2.5 million per year; in a little over a hundred years, that's 300 million...

The Law Divine Tree and Divine-Grade Fruit are precious, but not irreplaceable.

Origin Force Life evolution—Divine-Given Origin Force Food is truly indispensable.

For a tribe, for a kingdom, ordinary Divine-Given Seeds are the real foundation of prosperity and flourishing.

After a long silence,

Dragon Cypress said, "Snow Velvet Spider King, let me advance to King-Level evolution first, then we can discuss further."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "That's fine—"

Snow Velvet Spider King asked, "You're already a Lord at Age Period 9. When do you plan to break through? Thirty years? Are you short one Divine-Given Seed?"

Dragon Cypress: "To be safe, forty years. I have quite a few God-Given Life Seeds, so I can prepare more. It just so happens to coincide with a reasonably complete Expedition Year."

Dragon Cypress paused, then added, "Over at King Ant Goldna..."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Exactly. King Ant Goldna will also need time."

Dragon Cypress: "Snow Velvet Spider King, there's another issue. What if King Ant Goldna manages to successfully condense a Divine Mark? What then? We can't force it to leave, can we?"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "The Divine Mark is both a trial from the Natural True God for Insect Clan warriors, and a blessing. If King Ant Goldna can quickly condense its first Divine Mark, then we definitely can't force it to leave. Over on Zhibai Continent, near Shanglu, there's a suitable unoccupied island. The solution we've considered is for King Ant Goldna to migrate and settle on a sea island of Zhibai Continent."

Dragon Cypress: "A reasonable arrangement!"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Intercontinental migration is extremely troublesome. Dragon Cypress Ant King, it would actually be better if you delayed your breakthrough by ten or more years and observed a bit longer."

The Snow Velvet Spider King turned, unloading the Spider Silk Bag from her carapace while saying to Red Peach, "My own Divine-Grade Velvet Fruit ripened and was harvested last year..."

...

After handling various affairs, the Snow Velvet Spider King took her leave.

Ink Orchid also returned first to Xianglan Mountain, to consume the Divine-Grade Fruit that granted Fire Talent.

Dragon Cypress continued to complete the Divine-Given Origin Force Food trade with the caravan, then shuttled back and forth between Snow Cedar Mountain and Huagi Mountain transporting Source Stones...

...

Day after day, year after year.

Silver Cypress, year 33.

The fourth Divine-Grade Quin Olive Fruit arrives; the Giant Cypress consumes it, undergoes Molting Evolution once, and successfully comprehends an Ability.

Ink Orchid is in urgent need of a Divine-Given Seed, but has been unable to find one...

Ever since Dragon Cypress made up his mind to focus on developing the Silver Cypress Trees and started large-scale cultivation, no random Wild God-Given Seeds have appeared in any Land of Origin Force in the northern hemisphere.

The reason is simple—over half the land is now planted with Mutant Silver Cypress Trees. These Mutant Silver Cypress Trees have one defect or another: either there is no possibility of Divine-Given appearing at all, or the probability is extremely low and further breeding optimization is required.

The probability of randomly giving birth to a Wild God-Given Seed in the northern hemisphere has dropped.

The situation in the Thousand Isles of the southern hemisphere is also not optimistic.

That Lord-Level Little Bee King of the Forest Beard Bee Kingdom has become increasingly active; in the summer, autumn, and winter seasons each year, it scours the region twice, leaving Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid with precious few opportunities.

Within the territory controlled by the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom, only Fragrant Silk Island and Swinging Leaf Island are currently in stable development.

...

Silver Cypress, year 35.

Spring.

Wave Tree Bay and Blue Island are about to go to war again.

The Forest Beard Bee Kingdom has once again deployed massive forces in support, greatly reducing their control over the Thousand Isles.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid complete their work in the northern hemisphere and enter the continent of Bayonet early, flying straight toward Fragrant Silk Island.

As they neared the island, separated by forty or fifty kilometers, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid both instinctively activated their Soul-Setting Ability for perception.

Within their perception,

Cypress stood guard as usual at the peak of the mountain.

Black Birch and Tie Bush, leading a large group of Specialized Blue Soldiers and Specialized Green Ants, were gathered at a spot on neighboring Twin Pillar Island, unmoving.

"Huh?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Ink Orchid perked up, saying happily, "Something's up!"

Such a formation was likely guarding a Divine-Given Seed!

Dragon Cypress also felt a surge of joy in his heart, saying, "Seems like good news!"

Ink Orchid beat her wings vigorously; Primordial Energy burst forth, her form flickered, and in the blink of an eye she disappeared into the skyline.

Dragon Cypress followed by activating his Wind Wings ability, accelerating in pursuit.

As they neared the small island,

Ink Orchid flew back excitedly to meet him, exclaiming, "Dragon Cypress! This is fantastic! Zhibai Divine-Given Seed! Top-Level Divine-Given Seed!"

"Zhibai!"

Dragon Cypress was overjoyed, dove down at full speed, and crashed onto the ground.
