Ant Lord in the Star Realm
Chapter 1030 - 697
"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"
"Mantis King Ink Orchid!"
"Wow!"
"White Ivy Spider King?"
"Chairman White Ivy..."
...
Silvergrass was first to pilot the Star Spider, carrying Blue Catalpa, Snakebark Maple, Ghost Fan, Woodberry, Mountain Persimmon, and Chinese Clematis back.
There was also a Flame Spider with sparkling, multicolored hues that Dragon Cypress didn’t recognize.
After a round of greetings,
White Ivy warmly introduced: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, this is Fish Vine, a Southern Hemisphere spider, you should know them, right?"
"Nice to meet you, Great Leader Dragon Cypress!" Fish Vine greeted.
"Oh—"
Dragon Cypress looked at Ink Orchid: You seem to know a lot of insects.
Ink Orchid shook its tentacles: I don’t know this one.
Fish Vine introduced themselves: "Great Leader Dragon Cypress, I’m a junior to Spider King Shion. I’m too foolish, so Spider King Shion didn’t arrange for me to trade with Rainbow Island."
Ink Orchid inquired: "Where is Spider King Shion?"
Fish Vine replied sorrowfully: "Gone..."
Gone?
Not gone, but invited to join the Luoli Chamber of Commerce, to develop at the White Crystal Star System.
White Ivy helped explain: "Fish Vine came to Flying Wing Star, couldn’t find their elders, had no friends, and nowhere to go, so we invited them to join the White Ivy Chamber of Commerce."
White Ivy added somewhat helplessly: "Fish Vine has a bit of a flaw, always getting lost and unable to pilot the Star Spider to work, so I have to keep them by my side."
"It’s fine. This time, the task was completed smoothly. We successfully met with Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple and brought them here."
"Fish Vine, you did great!"
White Ivy praised.
"It’s all thanks to the excellent teachings of White Ivy Spider King!"
Fish Vine happily hopped a bit.
"..."
All the insects were solemn.
It was clear.
This spider being not just smart was an understatement.
A roving merchant Flame Spider that loses its way but still survives is a miracle!
Obviously, Spider King Shion invested resources to raise them...
Dragon Cypress asked gravely: "Chairman White Ivy, who are the members of your team now, Red Peach, Yellow Peach, Green Peach, Silvergrass, Poison Bean, Fish Vine... anyone else?"
"No more. That’s enough. Were it not for direct descendants, I’d have kicked that rascal Poison Bean out."
White Ivy had markings of gray and white Shanglu leaves shining on her head, confidently saying: "For regular trades, Red Peach and I are enough. Silvergrass and Green Peach can also help."
Fish Vine hurriedly shouted: "And me!"
White Ivy arranged: "At that time, we can do this, Red Peach and I form one team, responsible for major trades. Silvergrass, Fish Vine, and Green Peach form another team, responsible for procuring Origin Force Food."
"Dragon Cypress Ant King, you can also send some insects who know trade, like Areca, Blue Catalpa, Snakebark Maple, Chinese Clematis, Purple Three Leaf, Fragrant Cypress, Black Birch, and form a team with Poison Bean, specifically responsible for selling Origin Force Honey. Every December is the trading month, everyone goes to the five major Life Planets, the trade plazas in zone 1001 of both hemispheres to set up stalls."
——Setting up stalls to sell goods?
——Sounds very interesting!
——I want to join!
All the insects agreed eagerly.
Ink Orchid’s eyes shone brightly, enthusiastically shouting, "Me! Me! Me! I can help too!"
Dragon Cypress couldn’t help but sarcastically say: "Second King, you have such a noble status, not suited for such rough work, right?"
Ink Orchid: "Then I’ll go with Chairman White Ivy?"
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress: "Second King, you need to be low-key."
...
...
The space fluctuated.
Poison Bean piloted the Star Spider, carrying Red Peach, Mulberry, Areca, and Purple Three Leaf back.
Upon meeting,
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid both focused their gaze.
Red Peach had ’adaptive evolution’ Origin Force fluctuations!
That Wangbai Seed White Ivy exchanged has been used by Red Peach?!
Dragon Cypress subtly nudged Ink Orchid with the back leg, signaling not to ask further questions.
Another round of cheerful greetings.
White Ivy waved her forelegs for quiet, inquiring: "Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, please check, is everyone here?"
Ink Orchid: "Everyone is here!"
Ink Orchid eagerly suggested: "Let’s go check out the Territory first!"
"Alright!"
"Let’s go!"
White Ivy waved her claw, "Silvergrass, Poison Bean, you lead the way!"
"Okay—"
"Let’s head home!"
Silvergrass and Poison Bean piloted the Star Spider, crawling on the ground, emitting a long string of clanging metal component collision sounds, exiting the plaza, and onto a wide avenue about thirty meters across.
The black hardened ground had a white line dividing down the middle.
A large group of insects set off, walking briskly.
The road was flanked by towering dense forests.
Not far away, a winding river channel, dragonflies with wings spanning over a meter flew between the trees.
The spiritual power swept over, but it revealed they were just ordinary dragonflies.
The new insects found it strange.
Dragon Cypress asked: "Chairman White Ivy, after entering the Universe Starry Sky, did the Insect Clan all awaken their Ancestral Bloodline?"
"No—"
White Ivy explained: "With environmental changes, organisms evolve accordingly. The environment on Twisted Blue Star—high temperatures, high humidity, and high oxygen content—leads to exceptionally lush plant growth, and as a result, insect sizes also increased."
"After millions of years of life evolution, Twisted Blue Star has become a planet entirely dominated by giant insects. The Insect Clan warriors born here naturally have larger bodies, one size larger than regular warriors. But in terms of overall combat strength, there’s no substantial increase."
"Similarly, Magnolia-Bark and White Poplar stars have experienced significant changes over time."
"However, Flying Leaf and Flying Wing stars maintain the environmental landscape consistent with the home planet, and the creatures also retain the same sizes."
"Comparing the five planets, the chance of awakening Insect Clan warriors and birthing Divine-Given Seeds show no significant differences."
Red Peach added: "Speaking of individuals, the probability of the Insect Clan and Plant Clan ascending to Origin Force Life does increase with larger body sizes. However, the same living space with larger bodies means fewer numbers. They balance each other out, so there’s no overall change."
Ink Orchid suddenly recalled, asking: "Inherited Memory shows that under Universe Law conditions, the probability of birthing a Divine-Given Seed decreased by ten billion times? Does that mean it’s virtually impossible now?"
