Chapter 1262 - 770: Jade_2

"What are you doing?"

"What's with the attitude?"

"You don't study seriously on regular days, and now you're finding it difficult to write a poem?"

Dragon Cypress smoothed things over by saying, "Art doesn't have high or low distinctions, it's not suitable to be used as a standard for judgment."

Dragon Cypress added, "As Origin Force Warrior, the most important thing is ability. Ability is equivalent to strength and is related to future growth and evolution."

"The simplest, fairest, and most convincing way to the insects is to assess the number, strength, value, and comprehensive evaluation of the abilities everyone understood at the Mountain Lord and Lord-Level stages."

Dragon Cypress supplemented, "Both Ink Orchid Leader and I have consumed various Divine-Grade Fruits that bestow abilities. We can provide accurate primordial crystal pricing for each ability."

"Good idea!"

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress is impressive!"

The insects expressed their agreement and looked at each other.

The Mud Red Click Beetle Warrior named Cinnamon raised its claw and said, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, I've just evolved to the 1st age period of Mountain Lord..."

Dragon Cypress said, "Let's set another rule, when discovering Herbal God-Given Seeds, calculate all evolution levels, Mountain Lord, Lord, Insect King Level warriors can participate, settlements after 200 years. King-Level warriors can remain at the 9th age period; if they miss the evolutionary timing, it's not a big issue. They can go to Sheep Hoof Armor Star System and eat a Life-Extending Divine Good to make up for it."

"Good!"

"Understood."

"This is fair."

"Seems I'm out of luck."

The insects had mixed feelings of joy and worry.

Ink Orchid shared experiences, "The quantity and quality of the Awakening Abilities are mainly determined by five factors: genetic bloodline, individual insect talent, Origin Force Food, ability training, and individual insect luck."

"Everyone uses the best Origin Force Food for evolution, so there's no difference to speak of."

"Genetic bloodline and individual insect talent are innate and cannot be changed."

"Luck is even more elusive."

"The only thing one can do is try hard to train."

"Therefore, I announce, from this year onward, all warriors who meet the selection criteria will not have to work, and each can focus on diligently honing their abilities."

"Great!"

"Understood!"

"Ink Orchid Leader is the best."

The insects responded enthusiastically.

…

…

Luck is unpredictable.

In these six hundred years,

after Wuju, no second Little Flame Spider appeared.

Nor was a new Assistant King born.

It seems even ordinary Insect Clan Little Warriors have become scarce.

Two Divine-Given Seeds appeared: one Jade Orchid; the other named 'Scaly Fruit Palm,' valued around 1.6 billion, just barely acceptable.

…

The Huagi Mountain Warriors completed the development and construction of all 803 ecological base stations on Xuelan Mountain ahead of schedule, covering over two million square kilometers of ecological jungle. Plus, the natural expansion of flora and fauna during the period has pushed the plant coverage rate of Xuelan Star above 20%.

Mission accomplished!

Spanning 4,200 years, the initial development work of all six planets in Azure Star System is concluded.

Next is to wait for life to naturally spread and expand.

The plant coverage rate rises year by year, with such a vast base, Divine-Given Seeds are bound to be born.

The remaining task is further transformation and optimization, improving the planet's plant coverage rate to over 90%, adjusting the ecological structure, and cultivating top-level, Dual Superior, and high-quality breeds as extensively as possible among the insects.

This task isn't urgent; it can proceed slowly, arranged for Xianglan Mountain Commerce Guild's own insects to handle it leisurely.

Dragon Cypress directed large groups of Worker Ants and Mountain Ants to excavate rocks and build warehouses.

Shield Grasshopper Warriors assisted in dismantling the ecological base station columns, transporting them back to the warehouse for sealed storage.

The four Life Bases, after a round of inspections, were also cautiously sealed away.

The 'heavy assets' acquired at the cost of 3.9 billion primordial crystals will surely come in handy in the future.

…

[Time: 78 Era -143 Original -233 Year]

All wrap-up work completed,

at Xuelan Star, North 1001 Plaza, Chairman Blackberry piloted the Star Spider, arriving on time.

"The Star Spider is here!"

"Heading back to the mountains~"

At Huagi Mountain, a Shield Grasshopper Warrior was the first to discover it, triggered spiritual power, and summoned, then activated the Soul-Setting Ability for remote sensing, transmitting information over long distances.

The news spread quickly.

The Shield Grasshopper Warriors scattered around District 1001 emerged, each showing their skills and making their way toward the plaza.

Holm Oak Great Leader arrived immediately.

Dragon Cypress received the message and followed closely behind.

White Ivy, that guy, came again.

Fish Vine also ran over along.

Nebula Citrus was escorted to walk in the middle.

"Great King~"

Nebula Citrus greeted, looking dejected and reluctant.

Being away from the Ant King for a while, this guy started to slack off again.

Staying at Sheep Hoof Armor Star System is relaxed, bustling, and fun.

But here in Azure Star System, there's endless work.

…

After the meet and greet,

White Ivy asked, "Where's Areca? Have any Little Flame Spiders been born in the past six hundred years?"

Dragon Cypress responded, "There is! The Life Seed was chosen by Ink Orchid; it's Wuju Orchid, named 'Wuju'."

"Oh! Great! That's fantastic!"

White Ivy cheered, jumping with joy.

Dragon Cypress briefly introduced, "A clever little fellow, lively and cheerful personality. Two hundred years ago, it already reached the Third Trace Realm, stuck at the 1st age period without moving. We're considering returning to Sheep Hoof Armor Star System to use Divine-Grade Fruits to awaken talents across various systems, and then supplementing abilities appropriately before evolving further."

"Yes~ That's right! Wonderful!"

White Ivy was overjoyed and asked, "What about the insects?"

Dragon Cypress replied, "Occasionally plays with Ink Orchid, but mostly spends time with Areca, caring for ordinary Little Flame Spiders scattered across various planetary rainforests. Not sure where it is right now; the message has been sent out, it'll receive notification soon."

Dragon Cypress asked, "Why did Fish Vine come over..."

White Ivy: "With the initial development work concluded, it's time to move the ant colony, right? I brought Fish Vine to help."

Dragon Cypress nodded its tentacle, saying, "Chairman White Ivy is considerate; indeed, we need to relocate a batch of Specialized Blue Soldiers and Stone Soldiers..."
