Astral Ants

Battles on various battlefields were gradually coming to an end.

On each battlefield, a holographic projection is used inside to announce in large letters the 60 fighters who will qualify.

The swarm of insects watching the battle evacuated in disorder.

Billions of insects were running back and forth.

There were also insects driving star spiders or starships, desperately mobilizing their mental power to call for customers.

A conflict broke out due to the collision of insects. The fierce quarrel was about to escalate into a power war. Soldiers in charge of event security stepped forward to stop the incident and maintain order.

Outside the battlefield, there was extreme chaos.

The soldiers of Xianglan Chamber of Commerce who were responsible for collecting information rushed to battlefield No. 014 and met up with Long Bai and his party.

We found a remote area with few insects and summarized the information.

Each of the 3000 warriors at the Star Realm level has a separate file, which is carried by a knowledge compass, battle images and text description records.

"Second Lord, this is the battlefield intelligence we collected. What do you think?"

Long Bai asked with concern.

"No!"

“It’s so unprofessional.”

Mo Lan was very dissatisfied and asked, "The guy named Ling from the Holy Butterfly tribe has not revealed his true strength?"

Hongxi immediately replied: "Ling was lucky. The fighters he met were not very strong, so he won easily. We guess there was an inside job."

"Mostly."

"should be."

"Definitely is."

"Absolutely."

All the insects echoed.

Cymbidium:"……"

Mo Lan sighed and said, "The information you collected is too superficial. It has almost no reference value to me. I only need to take a glance to know that at least ten fighters have hidden their strength. It is these dozen guys who may pose a threat to me. What I really need is their detailed information..."

"..."

“It’s our incompetence.”

"The Second King is disappointed."

"Second King, what about you? Did you give it your all?"

"The greater significance of the Daylight Sea Arena Battle lies in the communication and learning between pure Force warriors. I have learned two powerful abilities, which will take some time to comprehend and digest in depth."

"..."

"The Second King is becoming more and more artistic in his speech."

"Red Maple, what about you?"

“I learned a lot too!”

"Forget it. Don't ask. It's obvious that Red Maple fought very hard to get the chance to go to the Dawn System to participate in the war."

"Molan and Hongfeng each take a copy of the information. It's useless, but we should still take a look at it so as not to waste everyone's efforts. Okay, let's go find Citi Hill to meet up..."

Long Bai led a large group of insects from Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, Shuhua Chamber of Commerce, and Boxuwan Chamber of Commerce, and then joined the insects from Citi Mountain.

Then he met with Sishu and a group of Xia Qu insects outside battlefield 001.

"Captain Longbai, how is it?"

"Molan, Hongfeng, and Shield Pillar all made it through successfully."

"That's good!"

"Where's Boss Lanja?"

"30 Star Realm warriors from the Holy Butterfly Tribe participated in the selection, and 23 of them successfully obtained the quota for the Daylight Sea Arena. The Blue Vein Overlord personally led the team. All participating warriors followed the Blue Vein Overlord. Lan Ying will not come."

Zi was very excited and raised his paw and said, "I'll continue to borrow the Rainbow Ying Star Spider! We can drive the Star Spider over there ourselves!"

Sishu continued, "It's a long journey of nearly five million light years, and a long journey of nearly five thousand years. On our side, the Saint Butterfly Tribe's star realm warriors can go together, Zi and Cai Gang can go together, and the other insects don't need to waste time joining in the fun."

Four Numbers asked, "Captain Longbai, President Baiwei, Queen Bee Yiguo, and Chief Hongshan, how do you plan?"

Longbai said, "I'm busy with work, and it's not easy to travel so far. I'll take the three strange beasts from our Xianglan Mountain, namely, Rao, Hongsang, and Lushi, with me first. I'll also have to personally take the two assistant kings, Juniper and Silver Cypress, who like to stir up trouble. There are also six assistant kings, namely Black Leaf, Black Persimmon, Black Peach, Hongying, Hongcha, and Hongxing. The Zerg warriors are Ghost Fan, Nebula Cypress, Green Maple, and Blackberry..."

Including Longbai, the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce sent 30 warriors to the Dawn Galaxy.

After saying this, Long Bai looked at Bai Wei.

Bai Wei said straightforwardly, "Me, Hongtao, Huangtao, Yuteng, Nandi, and Dudou. There are four more friends from the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce who want to go. We have an integer of 10 here."

The Queen Bees manage and control the star systems of Suspense 1, Suspense 2, and Suspense 3, and rent more than 2 trillion original crystals of land. They can occasionally leave for a few decades or a hundred years, but they certainly can't just leave it alone for ten thousand years.

The Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce will not send insects to join in the fun.

The insects then turned their eyes to the shield pillar and the redwood leader.

The Shield Pillar is a man of few words.

Redwood: "The tribe is busy with affairs, so Holm Oak and I won't go."

Hongshan signed up directly: "The team is led by the great leader Xingshi, including Shandian, Dianthus superbus, Huangqian, Tengluo, Zitong, Baizi, Heizi, Picea australis, and Wuye..."

...

The original intention of designing and manufacturing the Leader-class Star Spider is to be exclusive and special for privateers. It has high speed and is comfortable to ride, but its carrying capacity is very limited.

The distance of nearly five million light years is not enough to carry too many insects.

Citi Hill also sent 30 soldiers to watch the battle.

All together, there are 120 fighters on all sides.

They split into two, one boarding the Rainbow Ying and the other the four-member Star Spider.

First, we will go to the Ironwood star system.
Let's go back to the Bauhinia star system.
Long Bai and Bai Wei made detailed arrangements for the management and development of the Chamber of Commerce for the next ten thousand years before setting off with peace of mind.

...

The black orchid, red maple and shield column insects are not with everyone.

They gathered at the square of Area 78 in the south of Shanqi Star in January 175th Era-000th Yuan-1, and boarded the Star Spider provided by the Beiai Chamber of Commerce to head to the Dawn Star System.

...

...

The Dusk Tree has a special status and identity. It is independent of all Zerg forces and occupies a third-level source point alone.

The source point structure is also extremely special.

At the center is a bright neutron star with a diameter of about ten kilometers. Around the neutron star, a vast amount of cosmic matter is chaotically distributed and rotates, forming a luminous spiral disk of matter with a radius of one billion kilometers, which is the 'daylight sea'.

On the edge of the Daylight Sea, there are eight standard-sized planets distributed in all directions, including Black Elm, White Elm, Red Elm, Green Elm, Water Elm, Mountain Elm, as well as Dawn and Dusk. They were specially built for the Daylight Sea arena battles.

Black Elm Star,
Outer space.

Two Star Spiders emerged from the star web, the hatch opened, and a large group of Zerg warriors including Long Bai, Bai Wei, and Si Shu filed out.

The insects looked at the vast sea of ​​light slowly rotating in the distance and were stunned.

"This is built for insects!"

"How much material is this?"

"How many Zerg warriors will be involved?"

“How many trillions will it cost?”

"The raw crystals earned from contracting such a project should be enough to support me for a lifetime, right?"

"Can you guys be more ambitious? How many crystals can you earn by doing hard labor on a project?"

"A variety of light gems that are a specialty of the Daylight Sea?"

"Sunstone, fine light stone, light chalcedony, and the most precious 'Dark Rose' are harvested once every 80,000 years, which is before each ring battle begins..."

“Have you harvested it?”

"That's even better! We can go in and pick up bargains with a clear conscience!"

"There's a protective shield."

"That should be the battlefield barrier arranged for the ring battle."

"I have a bold idea!"

"How bold?"

"The Gate of Truth..."

"good idea!"

"To be a bug, you must dare to think and act."

"Come on! Try it!"

"The Dusk God Tree is at least at the Domination Realm, right? It's not easy to deal with~"

"What are you afraid of? If you get caught, just say you're lost."

"What if it stabs us to death with a branch without any explanation?"

"..."

The insects were making a lot of noise and joking when the space nearby slightly fluctuated and a round purple flame spider emerged.

"Thank you for your hard work, friends who have come from afar."

"You know we came from so far away? We are just bugs from the nearby star field."

"This friend is joking. Look at your Star Spider logo, White Crystal Galaxy, Holy Butterfly Tribe." "Uh--"

"Big Spider has good eyesight!"

"My name is Qiu Luo. I'm a volunteer, one of the soldiers who maintain order in the Daylight Sea."

The Purple Flame Spider warrior named Qiu Luo turned slightly to reveal the elm leaf logo on his shell, and then said:
"There are still 38 years until the Arena Battle begins. Currently, Zerg warriors have been arriving to watch the battle. To avoid traffic congestion or disturbing the Dusk Tree's rest, please go to the Life Planet to settle down. The Dawn Chamber of Commerce provides low-cost accommodation and delicious and cheap food."

"Um--"

"Oh--"

"it is good--"

"understood."

"..."

What a killjoy!
The insects slowly floated towards the Star Spider's hatch.

Qiu Luo glanced at Bai Wei and took the initiative to talk to her, "My fellow member of the Watase Flame Spider tribe, may I ask what your name should be?"

"Bai Wei. President of Bai Wei Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh! President Bai Wei! Are you the birth star?"

"Of course!"

"So, are you guys...are you all...coming here to support our friends from the Holy Butterfly Tribe?"

"That's not..."

Bai Wei introduced the topic in a sincere and steady tone, "This is the Longbai leader of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce. Two warriors from their chamber of commerce are joining the battle. This is the Xingshi leader of the Huaqishan Chamber of Commerce. The ancestors of their Shield Grasshopper tribe are joining the battle. And these friends from the Holy Butterfly tribe are old friends who have known each other since our home planet, so we are going together."

Qiu Luo suddenly realized what was going on and said, "I was right! You all come from a powerful Chamber of Commerce! I was just wondering, you all have such a strong and powerful aura of energy, you are obviously not ordinary insects."

As he spoke, the spider silk ropes that bound the cargo on the carapace untied, and a spider silk bag flew up and hovered in front of him.

"In that case, I'm sure you all need detailed information on the nine thousand participating warriors from the three star systems, right?"

“I happen to have it for sale here!”

"Organized by the Knowledge God Tree, the Northern Ai Chamber of Commerce organized special warriors to use special equipment to assist in collecting battlefield information, and sent it to the 'library' as quickly as possible, and handed it over to the Knowledge God Tree to personally summarize, analyze, and compile it into a set."

"The Knowledge Tree has been reauthorized, and our Beiai Chamber of Commerce has reproduced and issued it for public sale. We are a Level 60 Chamber of Commerce, with double guarantee of reputation and quality, and the price is also affordable, with a unified price of original crystals per set."

Qiu Luo: "Captain Longbai, Chief Xingshi, and friends from the Holy Butterfly Tribe, would you like a set?"

"..."

The insects were stunned and dumbfounded.

Poison Bean couldn't help but ask, "Are you an official member of the Level 8 Chamber of Commerce?"

Qiu Luo: "Yes, it's the Beiai Chamber of Commerce. It was supposed to be a rotating leave, and I could have comfortably sat in the audience and watched the fun, but the stupid superiors brought me here to maintain order in the arena and also to sell products."

Dangerous Beans: "..."

Poison Bean: "Can an eighth-level chamber of commerce still do this business?"

"Of course we can do it!"

"In this universe, any business that can earn crystals can be done..."

Qiu Luo said sincerely: "Of course, our Beiai Chamber of Commerce is not for making money. It is impossible for us to lose face and earn such a small amount of money. The main purpose is to facilitate the participating fighters to obtain better and more comprehensive information, boost the fairness of the Daylight Sea Arena, improve the quality of the battle, and optimize the audience's viewing experience..."

"Think about it, the big tribes have great wealth, power, and information. They also have Domination Realm warriors to assist and guide them. The warriors from the big tribes who participate in the war have an absolute information advantage."

"On the other hand, those outstanding warriors who emerged from small tribes suffered a loss during their growth and evolution due to the limited resources provided by the tribe. When they went to the battlefield, the information and assistance that the tribe could provide was also extremely scarce. They were at a disadvantage in all aspects. It was too unfair!"

"What we at the Beiai Chamber of Commerce hate most is unfairness."

Qiu Luo opened the spider silk bag, revealing the knowledge compass inside, and said, "It only costs 60 original crystals to make up for the information gap, and we won't suffer losses due to insufficient knowledge on the battlefield. Is it worth it?"

"Of course, you have the support of the Holy Butterfly Tribe, so you must have channels to obtain comprehensive information. However, ours has been processed by the Knowledge Tree, so it has some reference value..."

The Tree of Knowledge...

There is a planet called "Library" in the Dawn Galaxy, which is specially used to store various hard-core knowledge and intelligence information collected by natural civilization from various civilizations in the new and old cosmic eras.

The one that carries and manages this knowledge and information is a God-given Force plant, the 'Tree of Knowledge', an ancient wisdom that was born when the new era of the universe began...

Poison Bean discovered a business opportunity and said proudly, "Give me one!"

"it is good!"

Qiu Luo waved his claws lightly, and the spider silk bag floated towards the poisonous bean.

Poison Bean raised his paw to take it, turned sideways and looked at Bai Wei, his eight eyes flickering.

"..."

Bai Wei wanted to kill this guy for the Nth time. She walked forward angrily, opened the Star Network account, connected her consciousness, and completed the transfer transaction.

Qiu Luo saw through Dudou's thoughts and said calmly, "Just a reminder, the copyright belongs to the Knowledge God Tree. You can buy the things to read them yourself, but you cannot copy and spread them, let alone sell them. Otherwise, if you are discovered, it will be difficult to explain."

Dangerous Beans: "..."

Poison Bean asked, "Why is it so hard to talk? Can't we all work together to earn Yuan Jing?"

"not good!"

"Do you understand intellectual property rights? Do you understand the law?"

Qiu Luo said: "The Dawn Galaxy is not quite the same as the Lizhu and Baijing Galaxy. The Dawn Galaxy applies the legal system of scientific civilization and emphasizes the rule of law. The laws of the Dawn Galaxy clearly stipulate that intellectual property rights must be protected. Everyone, I suggest you spend some time to learn about it. The cost of breaking the law is very high."

Qiu Luo emphasized again: "What's more, this is a business led by the Knowledge God Tree. The Knowledge God Tree is an existence that even the rulers of time and space have to give way to."

Seeing that Dudou wanted to talk, Baiwei raised her paw angrily and pressed it down, "Alright, alright. Dudou, stop being so unreasonable!"

Bai Wei asked Qiu Luo: "Are there any warriors participating in this battle who are particularly strong?"

Qiu Luo replied: "Yes. A lot."

Bai Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Then, based on the knowledge of the Tree of Knowledge, which warriors are capable of competing for the top 20 spots?"

Qiu Luo: "The Knowledge Compass has a record of one hundred people in total, and everyone has a chance to compete for the top 20."

Bai Wei thought for a moment and asked, "What about the first place? Which insects are capable of competing for it?"

Qiu Luo: "If nothing unexpected happens, the top three places will be taken by the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce. If anything unexpected happens, there will be a warrior from our Flame Spider Tribe who can compete for one of the top three places."

"???"

All the insects cast doubtful mental thoughts.

Qiu Luo: "The knowledge compass has numbers. Number 00 lists the names of the warriors who are capable of entering the top , and ranks them..."

Bai Wei hooked her claws, and the black round disc numbered 00 flew and hovered in front of her. Her mental power covered it, and her consciousness read it. Her nine eyes flashed with light, and she stared with concentration, shocked and dumbfounded, and then relieved.

Bai Wei waved her claws, "Captain Longbai, please take a look!"

The cypress tree's tentacles swayed slightly to read the information.

The first one is the scarlet dragonfly warrior, Bixuelongli;

In second place is the Ghost King Katydid Warrior, Qing Yuan;

In third place is the Ghost King Katydid Warrior, Shi Xia;

In fourth place is the Flying Fire Cockroach Warrior, Chixia;

The fifth one is the Purple Flame Spider Warrior, Guang Yan...

"President Bai Wei, do you recognize these insects?"

"The mother planet Chiwu Mountain is mainly dominated by the Ghost King Katydid tribe, which coexists with red cockroaches, narrow butterflies, and scarlet dragonflies."

"Qingyuan and Shixia were the two great leaders of Chiwu Mountain who traded with me at that time. Bixuelongli and Chixia were pure warriors who began rigorous combat training at the advanced warrior stage..."

"..."

Long Bai was speechless and choked with emotion.

I've thought about this before...

Back then, Chiwu Mountain selected and trained a group of warriors with particularly strong combat capabilities, among whom seven warriors had eaten both the Ghost King Sophora Fruit and the King Baizi Fruit.

These warriors entered the starry sky, ate the giant dragon bamboo fruit, obtained the reincarnation power of the white crystal sacred tree, and then used a few law fruits such as "rosary beans" to strengthen themselves.

With the top resources in the universe stacked together, anyone who is not a fool can condense them into a top-notch powerful star core.

The comments of the Knowledge God Tree on them are all consistent: [Combination of multiple system law fruits, comprehensive physical star realm has no solution]

"what happened?"

Chief Xing Shi knew about the Great King Cypress and some of the conditions of the mother planet back then, so he asked, "Are the bugs in Chiwu Mountain very strong?"

Long Bai tapped his tentacles.

"The ranking given by the Knowledge Tree? Where does Chief Molan rank?"

Sishu and Xia Li noticed that the atmosphere was not right. They were curious and rushed to take the knowledge compass to check it out. Then they became uneasy.

The Holy Butterfly tribe warrior Ling only ranked 14th, not even in the top ten.

Molan is even lower, ranking 22nd...

Jacaranda is ranked outside the top 400, which means it is very difficult to compete for the top positions.

What's even worse is that the names of Red Maple and Shield Pillar are not on the list given by the Tree of Knowledge...

Xia Li looked at Qiu Luo and asked, "Is this a preliminary ranking of strength that the Knowledge Tree has analyzed based on the existing information? It's not accurate."

Qiu Luo: "It's just for reference. It's possible that some fighters are particularly strong in combat, but they didn't make any efforts in the preliminary rounds, and the information collected was insufficient, so they were missed or underestimated."

Qiu Luo: "Thank you for taking care of our business. However, I still have to fulfill my duties and remind everyone not to stay in outer space..."

Long Bai said, "Let's go to Black Elm Star and find a place to stay."

PS: I'm going to get my teeth fixed tomorrow, so I'll take a day off. (End of this chapter)
