Chapter 792 620: Feathery Red Rose War Flag_3
Third, pay close attention to timing during Expedition Years.
The next Expedition Year will be Year 128, which is 28 years from now.
Fourth, the ripening and harvest of Divine-Grade Molan Seeds.
The next batch of Divine-Grade Molan Seeds will ripen and be harvested from Silver Cypress 121, which is 21 years from now.
The following batch matures at Silver Cypress Year 156, which means waiting another 56 years.
Originally, considering the difficulty of obtaining Divine-Given Seeds, the plan was to break through and evolve into Insect King after Silver Cypress Year 156.
However, with the Barley Bug Tribe lending the Fire Crystal Persimmon Divine-Given Seed, Molan advanced to 9th-age Lord one or two decades ahead of schedule.
Taking everything into account,
when the next batch of Divine-Grade Molan Seeds matures, Great King Molan's Divine-Given Seed can rest its flowers and fruit, recovering for about ten years.
Molan can then, after Silver Cypress Year 130, depending on the growth status of the Fire Crystal Persimmon Divine-Given Seed, break through at an appropriate time to ascend as Insect King.
There will be minor adjustments to the distribution of Insect Workers.
Black Persimmon will be stationed at Molan Mountain for protection.
Black Peach will go to Cold Orchid Mountain, using Flourish, Tranquility and the Red Crow Pattern ability daily, giving full aid to Yellow Cicada Orchid, Purple-Mustached Round Leaf Grape, and the three Fire Crystal Persimmon Divine-Given Seeds in their growth.
Dragon Cypress will travel across Cloud Trace Continent, unearthing all Divine-Given Remains from every relic, refining them into Cyan-Blue Refinement Beads suited for the three Divine-Given Seeds, to be supplied to them in batches.
Another shipment of Source Stones will be delivered to Cold Orchid Mountain, each Divine-Given Seed using 300 Source Stones per day to replenish Origin Force.
Every possible input is being maxed out.

After finishing Molan's affairs,
Dragon Cypress returned alone to Rainbow Island.
First, he used a Divine-Grade Three-Colored Origin Force Fruit, successfully gaining "Triple Origin Force."
The actual effect was definitely not as exaggerated as three times.
However, after various enhancements, Dragon Cypress's internal Origin Force reserves have already surpassed triple.
Assuming Dragon Cypress's original Origin Force storage capacity was 1, at the Mountain Lord and Lord stages, using various Divine-Given Origin Force Foods to enhance and transform his body, he reached about 1.2 capacity.
The Ancestral Divine Power's primordial energy reserve doubling effect is added on top of 1.2, reaching around 2.4.
Ancestral Divine Power provided a robust, powerful physique. The Divine-Grade Three-Colored Origin Force Fruit opened up his dry pancreas, granting the 'Triple Origin Force' ability, effect surpassing 100% of the limit, with the actual effect about 120%, increasing by roughly 1.2.
Triple Origin Force is an Exotic System ability and does not benefit from the Ancestral Divine Power's doubling effect.
Altogether, Dragon Cypress's current primordial energy is 3.6, which is 3.6 times his base primordial energy reserve, and also three to 3.6 times that of a normal Insect King.
This is an absolutely terrifying value; against an average Insect King, he possesses an overwhelming primordial energy advantage right from the start.
...
After a short rest, Dragon Cypress next used a Divine-Grade Silver Leaf Fruit. He took a short nap; upon waking, he had successfully comprehended 'Touch of Silver Light.'
A Divine-Grade Fruit that sells for 12 million in the Southern Hemisphere.
Even converted to the relatively lower prices in the Northern Hemisphere, it would still be worth 8 to 10 million.
It is presently known as one of the strongest Thunder System abilities.
Extremely powerful penetration and destructive force.
Minimal primordial energy consumption.
Lightning-fast release, follows the user's will, shining silver light, arriving in an instant. There's almost no chance to react and dodge.
Dragon Cypress can now begin preparing to condense Thunder System Divine Patterns.
Currently, Dragon Cypress's Thunder System talents only consist of Control Thunder, Lightning, Lightning Mark, Controllable Current, and Touch of Silver Light—five abilities.
Control Thunder and Lightning are still the most basic abilities.
So in practice, only Lightning Mark, Controllable Current, and Touch of Silver Light are available for combination.
At most, there are four combination methods:
First, combining Touch of Silver Light and Lightning Mark: when Touch of Silver Light hits the target, it also applies a Lightning Mark, which can then be detonated for secondary damage.
Second, combining Touch of Silver Light and Controllable Current, forming a Touch of Silver Light that can be manipulated at will.
Originally, Touch of Silver Light could only be released by relatively flexible tentacles or forelegs, with gestures like swaying a tentacle or raising a claw. After release, it would be a flash of silver lightning darting out.
If combined, Touch of Silver Light's release becomes unpredictable and variable.
Third, combining Lightning Mark and Controllable Current.
Fourth, combining Touch of Silver Light, Lightning Mark, and Controllable Current—all three abilities together.
After much weighing, Dragon Cypress chose the second combo, first trying Touch of Silver Light with Controllable Current. The name remains 'Touch of Silver Light,' to see if it's possible to condense a Divine Pattern.
If that doesn't work, he'll try incorporating Lightning Mark.
If a single Divine Pattern uses up all three available Thunder System abilities, then with just a single-line Thunder talent, there'll be no way to assemble a second Divine Pattern ability…
This would mean that Thunder System Soldier Ants will have extremely thin Divine Pattern abilities…
On the Northern Hemisphere side,
White Ivy, Melde, Seven-Leaf and other Spider Kings are doing their best to seek out and inquire about Divine-Grade Fruits that grant Thunder System abilities for Dragon Cypress.
On the Southern Hemisphere side,
There's confirmation that in 13 years, the Snow Velvet Spider King can deliver a 'Thunder Firm Nut,' granting a teleportation ability called 'Flash Strike.'
However, it seems that among Dragon Cypress's Thunder System talents, none is suitable for combination with 'Flash Strike.'
This is really frustrating.
Not only with Thunder, but aside from Water and Strength Systems, Dragon Cypress doesn't have enough abilities in other systems either.
It's hard to imagine how Senior 'Mercuries' of Huagi Mountain managed to condense three Divine Patterns for each system and age period.
Dragon Cypress decided to take the advice of Linnan Divine Tree: be flexible…
