Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 714 - 594: The Path of Evolution for the Poor Insect_2

"This situation, could it be..."

"A Divine-Given Seed?"

"Looks like it!"

"Oh——"

Ink Orchid flapped its wings and took off, swiftly disappearing.

Dragon Cypress perked up, accelerated the Dominating Throne, and sped into the Land of Origin Force.

A kiwifruit tree, grafted in a haphazard mess, bore a single deformed small fruit, emitting a faint Origin Force fluctuation.

"Greetings, Great King——"

The Green Soldiers guarding under the tree all waved their tentacles in greeting.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Blue Catalpa called out, standing its tentacles upright, saying excitedly: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, I also successfully hybrid-bred a quality plant and triggered a Law Divine-Given!"

"...I see."

Dragon Cypress hovered on the Dominating Throne, slowly approaching to observe at close range.

"What varieties did you use for the hybrid?"

"Quite a few. The first-generation female plant was hybridized from Purple Kiwifruit and Four-sepal Kiwifruit. After optimized selection and breeding, using your method, it was labeled Purple No. 3003. The male plant was hybridized from Yellow Kiwifruit and Columnar Fruit Kiwifruit, then optimized and a mutated variety was selected, labeled Yellow No. 1102. These two varieties were crossed to obtain Purple No. 3101, then backcrossed with the native Purple Kiwifruit..."

Ink Orchid: "..."

Kiwifruit itself has distinct female and male plants, making it naturally complicated.

Fragrant Orchid Mountain doesn't widely grow kiwifruit as a plant, so Dragon Cypress wasn't familiar with all the varieties and began to feel a little dizzy listening to the explanation.

"Blue Catalpa, you're amazing at managing your territory and cultivating plants!"

Dragon Cypress praised, cutting off Blue Catalpa's explanation, then carefully sensed the Origin Force fluctuation within the fruit and said:

"Blue Catalpa, you intervened too much, the enhancement effect mutated."

Judging from the Origin Force fluctuation of the fruit on the tree, the enhancement had become a very ordinary fire system composite elemental ability enhancement.

Upon hearing this, Blue Catalpa's previously excited tentacles drooped, and it sighed: "I've always focused too much on the Purple Kiwifruit bloodline percentage. Hybrid breeding is just too unstable."

"Well, it's inherently unstable..."

Dragon Cypress: "But you really don't need to be discouraged. Being able to cultivate a Divine-Given Seed is already remarkable. Woodberry is also good at territory management, but still hasn't managed to produce a single Divine-Given Seed."

Blue Catalpa: "Yeah... Woodberry and Ghost Fan just haven't had luck..."

Blue Catalpa quickly adjusted its mood and said happily: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, if I remember right, Divine-Grade Baihe Fruit will be ripe and harvested this year?"

Ink Orchid butted in: "That's right!"

Blue Catalpa: "Then this year's winter gathering..."

Ink Orchid: "Will go on as usual! A lot of Bee King Honey from the Dominating Throne is sent to the Areca Rainforest..."

"Dragon Cypress Ant King! Ink Orchid Lord!"

Snakebark Maple hurried over, bursting with excitement, flailing its tentacles and shouting: "Blue Catalpa is awesome! It's bred another Divine-Given Seed..."

Have to admit, Blue Catalpa really is impressive.

Most importantly, by the agreement between Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple, the third Divine-Given Seed was Snakebark Maple's turn to carry as a Life Seed.

Snakebark Maple was out of its mind with joy.

After a few simple greetings and finishing off the autumn trades, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid didn't linger and set out for Cold Orchid Mountain...

...

Touring the continent, trading along the way, and finishing up the routine Divine-Given Seed hunt, it was already midwinter.

Dragon Cypress then traveled to each Land of Origin Force, gathering the scattered Insect Clan Warriors from all over the continent—including Yellow Stem, Spruce, Ivy, Pueraria, and Wuye—and brought them all to the Areca Rainforest.

The gathering, held only once every sixteen years, saw Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid sparing no expense, bringing out millions' worth of Source Stone Bee King Honey as hospitality.

Everyone celebrated, feasted, chatted, and played for seven days and seven nights.

Next stop was Purple Tung Insect Nation, where Barley Bug Tribe warriors were invited to continue the festivities under the Purple Tung Insect Nation tree...

Ink Orchid became the center of attention, controlling 'Little Ink Orchid', darting back and forth busily.

After repeated training, Little Ink Orchid had grown a bit larger, body length reaching four or five centimeters. It looked perfectly alive and not only could slice meat, skewer and boil it, but also controlled the charcoal fire for barbecuing.

This ability was not only amazing, rare, but also lively and interesting, drawing the two little Barley Bug Tribe warriors to hang around and watch the whole time.

The Huagi Divine Tree, Linnan Divine Tree, Jinhe, Night Fragrance, and even White Poplar, all joined in enthusiastically with spiritual power.

Their discussions were mostly about all sorts of elemental abilities.

And there was this year's achievement by Blue Catalpa, whose incredible grafting and hybridization techniques had actually managed to produce another Divine-Given Seed. The first time could be luck—but for a second, there was definitely skill involved.

Blue Catalpa's wood element ability was key, but so were its experience and technique.

Blue Catalpa was also in the spotlight, eagerly explaining and sharing with everyone.

Red Moonseed, who had been quietly listening all evening, suddenly asked: "Linnan Divine Tree, you yourself produce Divine-Grade Kunlan Seeds with wood element talent—why not consider giving one to Yellow Stem and Ivy?"

Huagi Divine Tree: "Cloud Trace Continent's Silent Period still has a long thirteen thousand years left. Huagi Mountain doesn't have enough resources, especially not enough Source Stone in stock—there's not a single Source Stone to spare."

Linnan Divine Tree answered seriously too: "Ivy can consider using Divine-Grade Fruit to awaken Water System Talent. Wood element—let's leave that for now. As for Yellow Stem... the rich bugs have their powerful, extravagant path of evolution, but the poor bugs have their own streamlined path."

So that's favoritism—not planning to give Boss Yellow one~

Blue Catalpa raised its claw, saying: "Strictly speaking, only two of us here are rich bugs; the rest are all poor wretches."

Snakebark Maple followed suit, raising its claw and asking: "Linnan Divine Tree, what's the streamlined path of evolution for poor bugs?"

Blue Catalpa: "We've all been busy farming these years and have been neglecting our own growth and evolution."

Snakebark Maple: "The Dragon Cypress Ant King and Mountain Persimmon Lord are both planning to evolve into Insect Kings. It's about time we understood and thought about what's next after reaching King-Level."
