Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 609 - 560 Ant’s Astounding Insight_3

——I don't know.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid simultaneously shook their tentacles.

The Snow Velvet Spider King said, "They are all massive beasts over a kilometer in length! Among them, a bird-shaped Sea Beast is particularly terrifying. It is capable of transforming into nine heads and possesses Wind System abilities. With a single inhalation, it devoured ten Butterfly Kings.

"There's also a shapeless Sea Beast that merges with the ocean waves and tides, vanishing without a trace. Any who touch it are devoured. Many Assistant Kings who charged into battle disappeared without a trace, including the three most valiant Assistant Kings under the Mountain Ant King. After that battle, the Mountain Ant King secluded himself in his King Nest, never appearing again, nor would he meet with any other insect."

"..."

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid mourned silently.

Dragon Cypress asked, "Then, does this mean that by relying on the Ocean God's Scepter, the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Kingdom is forever unbeatable? Blue Island can invade the Mainland without any fear, able to fail countless times, while for us on the Mainland, a single failure could be catastrophic?"

"Exactly—"

The Snow Velvet Spider King said, "There's another, more serious issue...

"The collective consciousness of the Stone Hunt Blue Ants is stronger than that of any other Insect Clan. They implement a system where every Ant King, regardless of wealth, must contribute an Arbor-like Divine-Given Seed to the Tribe before evolving to King-Level, to be cultivated as a Wild God-Given Seed.

"The Main Island spans over 350,000 square kilometers. Including the surrounding smaller islands, the total area is nearly 400,000 square kilometers. The Ant Clan has maximized its land use through cultivation. Over countless years, how many Wild God-Given Seeds have they accumulated? Enough to make a forest! The more Wild God-Given Seeds they control, the stronger the overall strength of their clan becomes. In contrast, the Wave Tree Bay Kingdom Alliance continually suffers losses from repeated invasions. If this continues, as they weaken and the enemy strengthens, they will likely be completely overpowered and face total collapse."

"..."

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid grew solemn.

Dragon Cypress said, "Based on my understanding, the core of the Way of Nature is development and prosperity. This also includes the co-development of various species and the flourishing of Life Types. Honestly, I have always believed that the Wanglan Continent rests on invincible ground. A Natural True God would not allow one Tribe to monopolize a continent. If the Stone Hunt Blue Ants indeed invade the continent, they might very well infuriate the Natural True God..."

The Snow Velvet Spider King remarked, "You are a thoughtful ant! In the Shanglu Ancestral Land, many experienced Steward Spider Kings also believe this. They strongly advocate not intervening in the Wanglan Continent's wars. But, is it certain? Who can truly fathom the mind of a Natural True God? It's inherently uncertain. When it comes to matters of our own fate and the survival of our clan, we cannot allow even the slightest element of uncertainty. I believe it is better for us to grasp our own destiny and that of our clan."

That's true!

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid vibrated their tentacles in agreement, sharing the Snow Velvet Spider King's concerns.

They still hoped to develop significantly on the Wanglan Continent and even planned to evolve to King-Level and migrate there in the future.

Don't let it be that the Wanglan Continent is destroyed before that time even comes...

The Snow Velvet Spider King said, "Enough. Let's not discuss these headache-inducing matters for now. I'm heading to Rainbow Island to deliver resources. Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid Lord, do you have time to come along?"

Ink Orchid replied, "Of course."

Dragon Cypress asked, "Snow Velvet Spider King, would you like to visit Scarletlight Mountain and see Areca?"

The Snow Velvet Spider King thought for a moment, then said, "Yes, we should visit and offer condolences to our unfortunate kinsman!"

Ink Orchid stayed on Rainbow Island.

「In the early morning,」

Dragon Cypress, piloting the Dominating Throne, carried the Snow Velvet Spider King, and they set off with a gentle sway.

They flew low over the sea surface, taking a direct route, and arrived at Scarletlight Mountain by mid-afternoon.

「Before Mulberry's cave dwelling,」

Areca was lying under the Great Locust Tree, manipulating an extremely fine strand of Spider Silk to carve a wild boar carcass into small pieces.

In front of Areca, a line of ordinary Little Primordial Spiders, over a hundred meters long, waited their turn to receive food.

Mulberry was also lying nearby, its long tentacles tapping and swaying as it watched with keen interest.

Two squads of Green Soldiers and Green Ants stood guard nearby, basking in the afternoon sun.

Sensing the Origin Force Fluctuation from the Dominating Throne, Areca and Mulberry both stood up and gazed southward.

"Mulberry! Areca!"

Dragon Cypress called out and made the introduction, "This is the Snow Velvet Spider King."

"Greetings, Snow Velvet Spider King!"

Areca and Mulberry greeted him, observing him cautiously and with curiosity.

According to Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, this was one of the most formidable Insect Clan Warriors in the entire Star Realm.

First and foremost, his massive size certainly matched that reputation.

The ordinary Little Primordial Spiders didn't realize the power of the large spider before them. The bolder Primordial Spiders drew closer, circling and examining him, tapping their forelegs on the ground inquisitively:

——Where did you come from?

——What business do you have?

——What is your level of evolution?

——What do you eat to grow so sturdy?

Having lived under the protection of Origin Force Life for so long, these creatures had lost the natural wariness and awe essential for survival in the wild.

"Danger! Be careful! Run!"

Areca vigorously tapped its forelegs on the ground, issuing a sharp warning.

The Little Primordial Spiders scattered in a panic, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The noisy, chaotic cave entrance instantly fell silent.

"Areca!"

"Mulberry!"

The Snow Velvet Spider King showed even more curiosity towards the Nine-Star Li Warrior.

This species had always been on the brink of extinction, yet it had somehow never been completely wiped out.

The Snow Velvet Spider King scrutinized Mulberry for a moment. His gaze then shifted to the old locust tree before them, and he asked in astonishment, "Is a Divine-Given Seed about to be born here?"

Dragon Cypress abruptly looked up, his spiritual power extending as his gaze swiftly searched the area.

On the Great Locust Tree, which was nearly two meters in diameter, a flat, round Pod containing only a single Seed emitted a faint Origin Force Fluctuation.

Areca confirmed, "Yes."

Mulberry said joyfully, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, thank you for your help all these years. I am also about to possess my own God-Given Life Seed!"
