Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 769 613: Moving to Rainbow Island

Cypress had been using discarded Silver Cypress Trees to train its Refinement Ability.

This ability consumed a great deal of Primordial Energy, and without the Dominating Throne's support, progress was slow.

After finishing up on the Jianlan Plain, Cypress shifted its attention to Red Cypress Mountain.

Ink Orchid simultaneously expanded the Orchid Grass planting area.

Black Birch followed along as well, in charge of cultivating and planting grape vines.

...

The Dominating Throne sped toward the Land of Origin Force, then abruptly came to a halt.

Dragon Cypress twitched its tentacle, surging with Primordial Energy. Azure mist billowed up, spreading out, forming a blue floating cloud nearly the shade of the sky itself.

The Dominating Throne shrank sharply and was retracted into its mouth.

Dragon Cypress steered the blue cloud, drifting into the Land of Origin Force.

"???"

Dragon Cypress was puzzled.

—Why isn't Second King here to greet me?

—I'm showing off my new ability here!

Activating Soul-Setting Ability, it swept over the area.

Ink Orchid and Cypress were together in one place.

Black Birch was off on its own.

Ant troops surrounded them all.

"???"

Dragon Cypress shifted its consciousness, scanning the Ant Nest; the stationed ant troops all poured out.

The blue cloud accelerated, diving toward the hillside where Ink Orchid and Cypress were, quickly expanding.

"Dragon Cypress?"

"Knock it off!"

Ink Orchid scolded sternly, "Careful! Divine-Given Seed!"

"Oh!"

The cloud dispersed, and Dragon Cypress tumbled out of the mist. Its spiritual power swept out, catching sight of an Orchid Grass growing under the forest trees, whose green pods glimmered with faint Origin Force Fluctuations.

Yellow Cicada Orchid!

It blossoms in winter, and the fruit are already half-grown.

"Congratulations, Second King!"

Dragon Cypress was genuinely delighted.

Without a Divine-Given Seed, Ink Orchid still couldn't evolve—things couldn't go on like that.

There was no need or time to be picky anymore.

Orchid Grass would do, too.

As long as Ink Orchid liked it, that was enough.

Ink Orchid cheered, "Such good luck this year! Black Birch's cultivated Grape No. 1101 Purple Tendril has triggered a Natural Godsend as well, and produced a Divine-Given Seed. This year, we can harvest two Divine-Given Seeds!"

Dragon Cypress: "!!!"

A Grape Divine-Given Seed isn't bad at all~

Dragon Cypress was overjoyed, "That's fantastic! Second King, you can evolve consecutively and reach Age Period 8 so quickly!"

With Age Period 8 set, Age Period 9 isn't far off either.

Once Ink Orchid became a Lord at Age Period 9, it could calmly await the Divine-Given Seed's growth and buildup for a breakthrough.

Cypress reminded, "Your Majesty, you'll need to send an Assistant King over to help..."

Dragon Cypress: "...Alright!"

Dragon Cypress: "I'll head to the Purple Tung Insect Nation and bring Black Persimmon back to help."

Dragon Cypress: "It's a bit busy this year, almost too much to handle. Ink Orchid, Cypress, good news—Snow Velvet Spider King has visited. Came over with the four Old Spider Kings who are stewards of Shanglu Ancestral Land..."

Dragon Cypress explained in detail.

Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King was blocked on Zhibai Continent.

With that menace gone, who could threaten Xianglan Mountain Kingdom with its ultra-strong Specialized Blue Soldiers?

No one!

Now it's perfectly safe to migrate to Wanglan Continent!

The King Cypress can finally bloom and bear fruit!

Now we can also go search for Divine-Given Seeds on Fragrant Silk Island, Swinging Leaf Island, and the Thousand Islet Archipelago!

Now that's truly great news!

Ink Orchid and Cypress bounced around in joy.

Dragon Cypress went on to explain the purpose of Snow Velvet Spider King and companions' visit.

10 billion Source Stones in spot goods!

Ink Orchid and Cypress were both shocked: What a bunch of profiteers, making so much!

After explaining,

Ink Orchid asked, "Dragon Cypress, when do you plan to migrate? As soon as possible?"

Dragon Cypress: "King Cypress will move over first. The other Life Seeds can wait another year or two and go one by one."

Dragon Cypress arranged, "I'll go to Purple Tung Insect Nation and bring Black Persimmon back to help. Then, don't forget to keep searching for Divine-Given Seeds on Cloud Trace Continent—Ink Orchid, you'll join me starting from Red Cypress Mountain, circling the continent, and when we get to the Areca Rainforest, I'll notify King Cypress to condense its Tree Heart."

Dragon Cypress: "After that, Ink Orchid, you go back to Red Cypress Mountain to keep watch. I'll bring Cypress back to Xianglan Mountain, fetch ten thousand Blue Soldiers, then head out to Rainbow Island to garrison, and start all the various preparations for migration and transformation."

Dragon Cypress: "Yellow Cicada Orchid's seeds should mature by End of Summer, right? I'll pick up Second King and Black Birch at End of Summer to help out on Rainbow Island."

Ink Orchid: "Alright!"

Cypress: "Understood. Your Majesty."

Dragon Cypress: "Cypress, come with me and let's give the good news to Black Birch..."

…

…

The blazing sun scorched the tropical rainforest.

The Dominating Throne came whistling in.

"Wow~ oh~"

Ink Orchid cheered, flapped its wings, flashed across the sky, and landed straight next to King Cypress.

"Spikemoss!"

"Ink Orchid~"

"Good news! We can migrate to Rainbow Island!"

"Has the war ended?"

"Not yet. The situation now is, eight years ago, that Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King broke into Zhibai Continent..."

Elephant Foot, Rift Leaf, Island Banyan—mental powers from all four Spikemosses reached out to probe.

Ink Orchid briefed everyone on the current situation in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Dominating Throne carried Dragon Cypress in, roared down vertically, and parked beneath the King Cypress Tree.

"???"

Elephant Foot and Rift Leaf immediately sent over questioning waves of mental intent.

"Ants, so we can migrate to Rainbow Island now?"

"Move now?"

"Of course. But you guys don't have to rush. Give it a year or two, finish overhauling the island, get the defensive works built, then move. But King Cypress is in a hurry to bear fruit, so Spikemoss can go first."

"Oh!"

"Great~"

"Get it out of here already."

"Once Spikemoss is gone, I'll be the biggest in this rainforest!"

"..."

Spikemoss asked seriously, "Dragon Cypress, when? Now?"

Dragon Cypress: "No rush! Spikemoss, start condensing your Tree Heart. Take it slow, try to gather all your power together."

Dragon Cypress: "Once your Tree Heart is ready, I'll transport your Exuviae to Rainbow Island, pick a good place to root, make all the preparations, and then you can move over."

Spikemoss: "Alright—"

No time to lose.

Ink Orchid quickly swept around the Areca Rainforest, making sure there were no Divine-Given Seeds.

Dragon Cypress dropped Ink Orchid at Red Cypress Mountain, picked up Cypress on the way, and returned to Xianglan Mountain.

Cypress mustered ten thousand well-trained Specialized Blue Soldiers.
