Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 807

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Then I..."

Dragon Cypress: "Snow Velvet Spider King, you must have a share. According to the prices in the Northern Hemisphere, the Divine-Grade Festoon Fruit is valued at 12 million, the Silver Leaf Fruit at 8 million, and the Three-Colored Origin Force Fruit at 10 million..."

Dragon Cypress offered a quote.

Snow Velvet Spider King did not bargain, but instead asked: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, exchanging two Law Fruits for Divine-Grade Fruits worth a total of 60 million, you already have your own Divine-Grade output... Are you sure there's such a huge need?"

Dragon Cypress chuckled and said: "Demand can be created, you know. My subordinate Assistant Kings can awaken powers, life, and Soul System talent through Divine-Grade Fruits. Correspondingly, various demands suddenly emerge."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "..."

The Ant King, in a resource-rich situation, cultivates his subordinate Assistant Kings vigorously, which is understandable.

But...

Awakening Soul System talents for Assistant Kings?

This intensity seems a bit excessive!

Snow Velvet Spider King paused for two seconds, suddenly realized, and asked incredulously: "Random creation?"

Dragon Cypress confirmed with a nod: "Random creation! I've eaten both the Ghost King Sophora Seeds and the Wangbai Seeds before. Just as Snow Velvet Spider King you mentioned once, using the Ghost King Sophora Seeds, with the aid of Natural Law, the corresponding Law Divine Patterns can be quickly and easily condensed. Using the Wangbai Seeds, without law assistance, one needs to absorb Origin Force to condense Law Divine Patterns. The difficulty is no less than breaking through to evolve into an Insect King, quite challenging."

"Oh—"

Snow Velvet Spider King was once again shocked, without knowing what to say, "This is simply... unbelievable... Let's go have a look..."

Together they embarked on the island to check out the Great King Cypress...

...

...

Black Lotus Lake.

Three years apart, the Divine-Grade Black Lotus Seeds show signs of a second fructification, but it will take some more time.

Having seen the Law Divine Tree Great King Cypress, the Snow Velvet Spider King's interest in the Divine-Given Seed of the Black Lotus dwindled greatly, after inspecting the area, recognizing it as a formidable divine grade, promising to help deliver the urgently needed Divine-Grade Leizhe Fruit to White Willow, quickly excused himself.

In the transaction cave at Rednan Mountain, the Snow Velvet Spider King informed Red Peach and Heliotrope of the situation, stating that Divine-Grade transactions could resume between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Then heading to the sub-nest at Red Banyan Mountain, filled with a billion Source Stones.

Dragon Cypress sent the Snow Velvet Spider King off, picking up Ink Orchid on the way, returning to Cloud Trace Continent, swiftly finishing the spring's various works.

Returning again to Black Lotus Lake, waited for five to six days, during late spring and early summer, witnessing the second fructification of the Divine-Grade Black Lotus Seeds.

It lasted three days and nights before ending.

The Lotus Pod grew rapidly, reaching a diameter of 10 centimeters, elliptical Lotus Seeds around 6 centimeters long, three to four centimeters in diameter.

Experiential judgment suggests it likely needs two more fructifications.

One can roughly infer,

at the Lord stage, the blossom-fruit cycle of the Divine-Grade Black Lotus Seeds is 10 years.

Further, one can speculate, breaking through to evolve into the King Level, the cycle would be 7 years.

It takes 7 years to produce a single one.

Surely a low-yield divine grade.

The final yield, whether high or low, depends on what type of ability it confers.

...

Returning to Rainbow Island.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid headed straight to the Silver Cypress Forest, checking work progress, only to find Black Birch wasn't working the fields.

Without an Assistant King directing, large and small Mountain Ants and Worker Ants were scattered in groups of three or five, all resting.

—Where is Black Birch?

—What's happening?

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid quickly flew and accelerated towards Xianglan Peak.

Azure's spiritual power approached, "Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, among the Specialized Blue Soldiers cultivated the year before last, a new Assistant King emerged, discovered a few days ago, and underwent a molting evolution last night..."

"!!!"

"Wow!"

"Great!"

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid simultaneously activated Soul-Setting Ability perception.

Cypress stood alone at the sentinel on the hilltop.

Black Birch, Spiked Cypress, Silver Cypress, and Tie Bush were gathered together, and accompanying them was a Blue Soldier whose soul was markedly different from ordinary Specialized Blue Soldiers.

—Exactly right!

—A new omnipotent Assistant King is about to be born.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid accelerated downwards towards the mountain peak.

At the entrance to the Ant Nest at mid-mountain.

Under the tall Rainbow Parasol Tree once planted by King Ant Goldna, Spiked Cypress, Black Birch, Silver Cypress, and Tie Bush were surrounding a Specialized Blue Soldier just over three meters long.

Sure, here is the translation of the provided text:

Nearby Divine-Given Seeds were also all focusing their spiritual power, discussing, arguing.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid arrived, greeting everyone.

"Greetings, Great King~"

Specialized Blue Soldiers waved their tentacles to greet Dragon Cypress.

Spiked Cypress's tentacles swung left and right, patting Black Birch and Silver Cypress, raising its forefoot, hurriedly said, "Great King, Second King, it's me! I'm the one who discovered it! Six days ago, early in the morning, I gathered the troops for training and immediately noticed that this guy was different."

Spiked Cypress: "The Sixth Corps, 212 Combat Group. It was a regular Specialized Blue Soldier when it was born, quite normal originally, I'm very sure that six nights ago, it suddenly awakened."

Dragon Cypress moved its tentacle slightly, "Spiked Cypress, you did well."

Ink Orchid praised, "Spiked Cypress, after evolving into an Insect King, your mind is clearly much sharper."

Southern Gorgon encouraged, "Mantis, cheer up! You can do it too."

"???"

Ink Orchid was furious...

Black Birch reported forward, "Great King, it has already consumed some Black Lotus Seeds and successfully completed its first leap evolution. If things go well, it should only be five more times before it can leap evolve into a formal Assistant King."

Silver Cypress seriously analyzed and said, "Great King, this Specialized Blue Soldier is extraordinary! It's from the batch you cultivated last year after condensing the Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm Divine Patterns, and has inherited almost all your current Water System abilities, as well as part of your Ancestral Divine Power and Adaptive Evolution capabilities."

Silver Cypress asked, "Great King, I think we can give it more Black Lotus Seeds, it can quickly complete leap evolution."

Azure said solemnly, "It's risky, isn't it? Not worth risking over one or two months, there's no need to be hasty."

King Cypress: "It has inherited part of the Adaptive Evolution ability, speeding up the molting process appropriately is completely fine..."

The insects and trees split into two factions:

One faction advocated feeding more Black Lotus Seeds to speed up leap evolution.

One faction advocated proceeding slowly to be prudent.

They were arguing endlessly over this matter.

Dragon Cypress scanned with spiritual power, flicked its tentacle, and said, "The core of leap evolution lies in the metamorphosis of the soul, it cannot be rushed. Be prudent, slower, one King-Level Black Lotus Seed per day is appropriate, Black Birch in charge, don't give more."

Black Birch robustly agreed, "Listen to the Great King's command!"

Black Birch reminded, "Great King, we can give it a name now."

Ink Orchid, who was bickering with Southern Gorgon, suddenly turned, raised its forefoot, tilted its head slightly, thought for a moment, then exclaimed, "Quiet! Quiet! Listen to me!"

"Round Cypress, Spiked Cypress, Giant Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Cypress, Silver Cypress, six Assistant Kings named after Cypress. Black Cory, Black Leaf, Black Birch, Black Peach, Black Persimmon, Black Sophora, six Assistant Kings named with the color 'Black'. By rules, Assistant King names should also iterate and update, 'Rainbow' is quite nice."

Ink Orchid raised its claw, pointed to the Rainbow Parasol Tree above its head, and said, "Rainbow Parasol! Look forward to it bringing good fortune to our Xianglan Mountain Kingdom, and giving birth to a Rainbow Parasol Divine-Given Seed!"

"..."

All ants and trees remained silent.

Sounds so reasonable~

Couldn't find any reason to argue~

Tie Bush broke the silence, raising its pincer limb, cheered, "Second King is the smartest!"

Dragon Cypress said, "Alright, let's go with the Second King's idea. Its name is 'Rainbow Parasol'. "

Dragon Cypress solemnly said, "In the next few centuries, our Xianglan Mountain Kingdom will certainly give birth to more Assistant Kings. We need to set a rule..."

Dragon Cypress: "Round Cypress, Spiked Cypress, Giant Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Cypress, Silver Cypress, were the earliest Assistant Kings, contributing since the kingdom's inception until today. They have worked the longest and contributed the most to the kingdom's development, as the First Generation Zuo Kings."

"Black Cory, Black Leaf, Black Birch, Black Peach, Black Persimmon, Black Sophora's birth times vary significantly, but even the latest born Black Sophora is a hundred years old. They have also made great contributions to the kingdom's prosperity today, as the Second Generation Zuo Kings."

"From Rainbow Parasol onwards is the Third Generation Zuo Kings. In the future, there will be Fourth Generation, even Fifth Generation..."

"The supply of Divine-Grade Fruit should prioritize the First and Second Generation Zuo Kings, Third Generation second, depending on the kingdom's further development."

Dragon Cypress said, looked at Spiked Cypress, and continued, "Spiked Cypress, Rainbow Parasol was born from your commanded corps. For now, arrange it under your command."

Spiked Cypress was ecstatic, "Alright! Great King!"

Ink Orchid, Black Sophora, Silver Cypress, as well as King Cypress, Azure, White Poplar, and all trees were shocked, strongly opposed.

——Great King! Be careful!

——Great King! We can't arrange it like this.

——Rainbow Parasol is very smart, with a high starting point, we should nurture it well!

——Following Spiked Cypress, wouldn't that ruin it directly?

——Great King, you must think thoroughly~

...

Dragon Cypress: "This is a temporary decision to try out. Silver Cypress, Black Birch, including Cypress, and other First and Second Generation Zuo Kings, in the future, whoever's fighting corps or logistics corps gives birth to new Assistant Kings, they'll follow that person's command."

——Is that so?

——Seems to make some sense.

Silver Cypress raised its claw, "Great King, I discovered a rule, the higher the evolution level of the Ant Kingdom, the lower the probability of giving birth to Omnipotent Assistant Kings."

Dragon Cypress solemnly moved its tentacle and said, "This is the law of Origin Force Life, a fundamental law of Origin Force operation and life reproduction..."
