Chapter 1224 - 759: Black Tower

Ink Orchid built two hills on Stone Orchid Star, one is Molan Mountain located in the subtropical 4001 area of the Northern Hemisphere, the other is Ciqiu Mountain in the temperate region of the Northern Hemisphere.

Insects born in low-latitude areas take root in Molan Mountain, personally guided by Ink Orchid.

Insects born in high-latitude areas take root in Ciqiu Mountain.

Ciqiu has also evolved to Evolution Lord Level, following Ink Orchid for one hundred thirty years, able to recite a few poems, and certainly has no problem caring for the Little Warriors rooted in Ciqiu Mountain.

Currently,

excluding Ciqiu, there are four Little Warriors, namely:

Two-colored Evergreen Sky Ox Warrior, Sawtooth Oak.

Long-Winged Ghost Locust Warrior, Triarrhena.

Narrow-Lined Flower Beetle Warrior, Baja Saguaro.

Also, Ink Orchid's close relative, Peacock Mantis Warrior, White Turmeric, also named after Orchid Grass.

Sawtooth Oak and Triarrhena settled in Ciqiu Mountain, led by Ciqiu, developing orchard forest land, managing plants.

Baja Saguaro and White Turmeric settled in Molan Mountain, personally guided by Ink Orchid.

…

In fact, in this world, over 90% of Insect Clan Warriors aren't born particularly smart nor stupid, with elemental talents neither high nor low. Most insects don't differ much at birth.

The fate of the Insect Clan Warriors is more determined by their subsequent environment.

These little ones are undoubtedly lucky, catching a good era when Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is on the rise, urgently needing insects.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid are willing to spend resources to cultivate them.

In the future, as more Insect Clan Warriors are born in the Azure Star System, they won't receive such good treatment.

…

…

Cold Orchid Star has over 200 million square kilometers of rocky surface that needs sandification treatment.

Dragon Cypress stands at a branch nest on Rainbow Parasol Mountain, continuing to cultivate Specialized Stone Soldiers and Mountain Ants, assigning them to each hill area, controlled by character instructions, allowing them to work themselves.

The transformation of Cold Orchid Star follows Ink Orchid's idea, managed into a characteristic life planet primarily of succulent plants.

Currently, Cold Orchid Star's vegetation coverage is only about 10%.

The task is significant and the road is long.

Dragon Cypress used Wangbai Seed and Divine Grade Diluo Fruit sent by Round Cypress.

To completely crack and fuse the Purple-Red Technology Star Core requires three steps to complete:

The first step, combine the Soul-Setting, Leech Soul, and Diluo Wings three Soul System abilities into one, merging into the Ultimate Zhenshou Beast Star Core.

The second step, train the soul imitation transformation ability, mastering it deeply.

The third step, imitate the soul of an artist, crack and fuse the Purple-Red Technology Star Core.

Dragon Cypress has an additional daily task of ability training.

With the help of the 1-3 type Chaos Top, it took only fifty years to successfully integrate the three Soul System abilities into one.

After some 'artistic processing',

Dragon Cypress straightforwardly named the combined ability 'Artistic Soul'.

Continuing to use the strength of the 1-3 type Chaos Top as assistance, it took only 30 years to successfully combine and join the Ultimate Zhenshou Beast Star Core.

The first step is completed.

Dragon Cypress then attempts to imitate the soul of the most intimate Assistant King; then the souls of Ink Orchid, Blue Catalpa, Snakebark Maple, and Red Moonseed Warrior from the Alien Clan; then the souls of Spiders like Areca, Fish Vine, White Ivy...

Progress was swift, achieving proficiency in the soul transformation imitation ability in just 30 years.

…

Deep inside Ant Nest on Rainbow Parasol Mountain.

Inside King Nest,

Dragon Cypress quietly lies on the ground, motionless, continuously activating the Super Brain Ability, with unending soul transformation.

Suddenly,

the artist standing equally motionlessly before it, their hollow eyes flashed a light.

"In terms of soul, seems my talent isn't bad~"

"Such a difficult imitation, took less than ten years..."

Dragon Cypress mutters, with a thought,

On the forehead, a 'Petite Artist' of four-legged, upright stance, seven to eight centimeters in height, with skin color of purple-red slowly surfaced.

Finely packed nine-colored tentacles on the head, with the soul system primordial energy mixed with spiritual power as the body, hiding a trace of soul within.

—Artistic Soul.

The Artistic Soul leaped with a spring, shooting into the forehead of the artist formed from the origin of the Zhenshou Beast, disappearing in a flash.

Combining soul and body,

the artist's hollow eyes lit up with a splendid nine-colored glow.

Dragon Cypress controls the 'Artistic Soul', attempting to make contact with the 'Purple-Red Technology Star Core'...

Blue-purple original energy patterns shine, actively absorbing the Artistic Soul within.

Effortlessly, the Purple-Red Technology Star Core's soul-level cracking fusion work is completed.

Dragon Cypress sends out its perceptions.

Still, only six Spatial Abilities: Spatial Blade, Teleport, Jump Transition, Gravity, Universal Compass, and Dimensional Space.

A spherical space of about 1200 meters in diameter, with a blue, purple, and red crystalline quality barrier.

A regular Technological Star Core is 800 meters in diameter.

By volume, the dimensional space attached to the Purple-Red Technology Star Core is more than three times that of a regular Technological Star Core.

"Oh!"

"This is..."

Dragon Cypress's consciousness scans to find, surprisingly, a 'Black Tower' standing at the bottom of the crystal space.

Thoughts rushed, with a thought,

In front of Dragon Cypress, on the artist's forehead, an eye formed, tilting the head, aiming at the ground of the King Nest, a white-hot beam projected.

A 'Tower', entirely black and petite, landed steadily.

Its exterior design is almost identical to the 'White Tower' of the White Tower Civilization.

Only about twelve or thirteen centimeters in height, neither metal nor stone, made of a material slightly similar to the space material of a Technological Star Core.

Dragon Cypress stepped forward, tentatively touching it with its tentacle.

An information segment directly appeared in the soul consciousness:

[Not sure when, I began to ponder,

What is the meaning of life?

Not art,

Not Force Evolution,

Not scientific truth,

Nor power or wealth...

Thoughts without answers, until the end of days,

I think, the meaning of life lies in the moment of tranquility after the clamor.

Intelligent life of the future universe, Phecys Testratus greets you again, and sends blessings:
