Astral Ants

Molan likes to show off.

I like to guide young soldiers in practicing their abilities.

During the long period of teaching, I witnessed the awakening and enlightenment of young warriors of different races of various God-given racial abilities and basic cosmic abilities. Teaching requires careful thinking and analysis, and invisibly, the cognition of the original power has reached a state of returning to the original, breaking through all kinds of fancy forms, and looking directly at the essence of the ability.

No ability is a secret in front of Molan.

With just a little use of her brain, Molan can combine any abilities in the best form to create powerful abilities.

...

...

On top of the dark and desolate iceberg.

More than a hundred insects formed an arc-shaped semicircle, looking forward to it.

The glacier below the mountain,

Mo Lan tapped her tentacles lightly, and a 'small sapling' made of pure lightning, with a red trunk and silver-white twigs, was born and took root on the ground.

The silvery-white taproot and pale fibrous roots penetrate deep into the ice without hindrance, spreading and expanding rapidly.

Draws energy from the earth's matter,
The 'small sapling' formed by the lightning on the ground rose against the cold wind and quickly grew into a hundred-meter-tall tree. Citrus-flower-like buds sprouted between the branches and formed, and small white flowers bloomed, shining brightly.
The vast ice field reflects the whiteness of the snow.

On Mo Lan's forehead, white mantis-like star spots shine, and the underground roots of the Thunder Tree spread sideways.

One by one, the 'thunder saplings' emerged from the ground, quickly took root and grew stronger.

In an instant, the empty ice field turned into a forest of thunder.

Mo Lan waved its tentacles, and thousands of scarlet and silver-white lightning flashed. It waved its tentacles again, and the petals of the flower condensed from flames fell off and danced wildly in the wind.

"Red Maple, do you understand?"

"The two kings are so brave!"

"I asked you if you understood?"

"I understand... but I don't fully understand... Second King, please allow me to take a closer look."

"This is the ability that best fits you, and it has the greatest potential to significantly increase your combat power in a short period of time. Watch carefully, and I'll demonstrate it again."

"..."

Hongfeng's talent in elemental abilities is second only to Molan. He has always regarded thunder and fire as his core abilities and has a solid foundation. With Molan's demonstration and explanation, he quickly mastered it and began to try to practice.

The dragon cypress insects stood on the top of the mountain to watch.

"If Hong Feng learns this ability, he should have a chance to be in the top 300, right?"

"After the improvement, the power has indeed been qualitatively improved, but in terms of time... is it in time?"

“It’s hard to say~”

“It’s easy to learn, but it’s probably too late to master it and use it at will.”

"Besides, even if you have mastered it, it would still be difficult to gain a foothold in the Daylight Sea battlefield with just one powerful ability, right?"

"What does Hong Feng usually do? You only remember to practice your abilities now..."

"Shield Pillar Ancestor, do you want to find a place to train as well?"

"Need not."

"..."

The insects talked and looked for a while.

Sishu suddenly said goodbye and said, "Captain Longbai, the Blue Vein Overlord knows that Xia Li and I are leading a large group of Saint Butterfly people to visit the Dawn Galaxy. We have to go over to pay a visit, and then we may have to follow the tribal team..."

Xia Li said: "See you after the game."

"it is good……"

Long Bai said: "After President Bai Wei returns, I will arrange for Zi and Cai Gang to send the Star Spider back."

"Row."

"You can keep the Rainbow Ying. Maybe it will be needed sometime."

Sishu and Xia Li led the Holy Butterfly Warriors team to say goodbye and leave.

The other insects stayed and continued to watch. After two days, they returned to the cave to rest one after another.

Finally, only the arborvitae and juniper trees were left lying on the hill watching.

Molan flashed over, waved his claws, and covered the area with a soul-based energy barrier.

"Ant, this is a big trouble!"

"how?"

"It's all your fault! My leader-class Star Spider is unstable."

"..."

Juniper asked doubtfully, "Second King, you have never been stable, have you? The Knowledge Tree ranked you 22nd. Even if there were no four people from Chiwu Mountain, you would move up four places to 18th, but the distance is still far..."

The juniper responded with a lash of lightning.

Mo Lan said disdainfully: "What kind of knowledge tree is this? It's just a force plant that can't move. What qualifications do you have to comment on me?"

After Molan finished speaking, he changed the subject and said solemnly: "However, this ranking of the Knowledge Tree does have some reference value. From my understanding, the top 30 warriors are comparable in terms of their level of understanding of the Force, their use of abilities, as well as their combat skills, combat awareness, will, etc. They have all reached the pinnacle of Star Realm warriors."

"Even the types of abilities that everyone possesses are not absolutely divided into high and low, strong and weak. The main difference lies in the strength of the ability..."

"The Law Fruit grants the strongest Law ability. The Chiwu Mountain warriors have gathered four highly compatible Law abilities: adaptive evolution, ancestral divine power, ancestral divine body, and reincarnation and rebirth, so they are ranked high."

"For me, the only thing that really works is the transcendent seven-element talent bestowed by the Seven-Colored Divine Tree and inherited through my bloodline. The rest is mainly the result of my own hard work and practice. Starting from the Planetary Realm, adaptive evolution and ancestral divine power have almost no effect on my evolutionary path, and their improvement on me is very limited."

"So, the Tree of Knowledge ranked me 22nd..."

Juniper: "..."

Long Bai: "..."

The arborvitae tilted its head to the left and looked at the ground, while the juniper tilted its head to the right and looked up at the sky, looking left and right.

Mo Lan's eyes flashed coldly, "I'm speaking seriously."

Juniper quickly said, "Whatever the Second King says is right!"

Long Bai said: "The Second King is not good at expressing himself. He wanted to talk about something serious, but he couldn't help but show off and praise himself first, and then he didn't make it clear what he wanted to say..."

"Damn ants!"

Molan was furious and was about to attack.

Longbai quickly waved his tentacles at Juniper's head and slapped him, scolding him, "Be serious! The Second King is talking, listen carefully."

Long Bai straightened his attitude and asked, "Molan, right now, the situation is that there are 21 warriors who are stronger than you in terms of ability and are comparable in other aspects. So, maybe... have you thought of a solution?"

Molan: "The strength of your abilities can also be improved through persistent training and strengthening with Force food."

"If there is no time for exercise, then we can only strengthen ourselves with Force food."

"I am currently at the 7th stage of the Star Realm. I have spent nearly 8 years in dormant meditation in the Soul Realm. According to the plan, if I use some Soul Realm God-given Force food, I can evolve to the th stage..."

"The evolution from 7th to 8th can proceed as planned. However, the evolution from 8th to 9th..."

Molan sighed and said, "I've been thinking about it for two days, and there are two options before me..."

"The first path is to temporarily abandon the power and life systems, focus on the soul system, and focus on the seven elements. Use the elemental God-given force food at the 8th age to evolve to the 9th age. After the 9th age, use the elemental God-given force food worth 3.3 million, and finally get stuck at the 3000 million limit, stuck at the peak of the star realm."

"My perception and understanding of the power of the material system far exceeds the carrying limit of the star realm, which makes it impossible to exert the powerful abilities I have comprehended. If I use 7 million elemental divine force foods to strengthen it by nearly one third, I should be able to achieve a qualitative leap."

"This……"

"Isn't that inappropriate?"

The arborvitae and juniper trees shook their antennae vigorously.

This is a big problem!

At present, most of the insects in Longbai, Molan and Xianglan Mountain are following the evolutionary path of ten-series balance. The star core encompasses ten types of abilities, and the intake of Force food is balanced to maintain the overall balance of the star core abilities.

In the future, when you break through and get promoted, the 'central black hole' after the transformation will also be a perfect ten-series, and the evolutionary path will be wider, and the evolution in the sustenance realm and even the domination realm will be relatively easy.

but,

Given Molan's current situation, if he gives up the life and power system and instead strengthens the seven elemental systems, the strength of the star core will be unbalanced. In the future, when it flares, the power system and the system's abilities will be stripped away and transformed into 'stars', 'planets' and 'companion stars' that revolve around the central black hole.

This also means that strength and life are downgraded to secondary auxiliary.

Moreover, after the flare, the stars are fixed and cannot be reversed...

The evolution of the Force, the three major systems of soul, body and matter, if you abandon the system, the path of evolution will suddenly narrow by one third.

The gain outweighs the loss!
Juniper moved to hide behind Longbai and spoke carefully: "Second King, you can't ruin your evolutionary future for a Star Spider, right?"

"Not for the Star Spider!"

"I've thought about it, and I don't want to ruin the path of evolution."

Molan denied it and suggested, "The Daylight Sea Arena is over, and I won first place. I will ask Boss Lanying to introduce me and ask the Blue Vein Lord to help...kill me! The kind of death that destroys my soul and spirit, and then I will be reborn with the help of the power of reincarnation, starting from scratch, and growing and evolving again."

"..."

The cypress and the juniper were shocked and dumbfounded.

"Second King, do you have to be so cruel?"

"Isn't it necessary?"

"Is it safe? What if the resurrection fails..."

The arborvitae and juniper trees shook their antennae vigorously.

"How could it fail..."

Mo Lan finally spoke out her true thoughts, saying, "I have been thinking about this for the past two days. Only in this way can we fight against Bixue Longli and Chixia, and break through Qingyuan and Shixia's defenses. The two Flame Spider Warriors who are good at space abilities are also not easy to deal with..."

Long Bai asked: "Second King, the second way you mentioned is..."

Molan: "The second way is to follow the original plan, strengthening the power and life systems at the 8th and 9th ages. In terms of system, I also have the ancestral power and adaptive evolution as a foundation. I have already conceived of ten more powerful systems of ability. There is still plenty of time. I will try to optimize and improve them. Balance means mediocrity. I estimate that the top ten will be difficult..."

Long Bai: "Then let's go with the second way!"

Long Bai advised earnestly: "Second King, reincarnation with the soul destroyed will inevitably be accompanied by a series of sequelae such as memory loss, memory confusion, personality change, talent loss, blood mutation, etc. This is a trick that can only be used when it is absolutely necessary. There is no need to take risks for a Star Spider."

Molan asked, "Do you still want the giant dragon bamboo fruit?" Longbai asked back, "Can't we contact the Chiwu Mountain warriors now? It's the same with Wang Baizi~"

"..."

"Right……"

Mo Lan's heart ached, so she tapped her antennae helplessly and changed the subject: "Longbai, not only you, but also the juniper, silver cypress, and giant cypress, they all need giant dragon bamboo fruit! They need a large amount of exchange! But it seems that it is not suitable for us to contact them directly now... Can we send President Bai Wei over?"

"Yes."

"The Second King is extremely smart~"

Long Bai said: "You and I don't need to worry about this matter at all. Hong Tao will tell President Bai Wei what to do."

"The only problem is that we have to be careful to hide and not be recognized by the Ghost Locust Tribe for the time being."

When on the mother planet, there was only one 'Huanyong Ghost King' in the Ghost Locust Tribe who had contact with Xianglan Mountain, and had never come into contact with Molan.

Other bugs just need to be a little careful. With billions of viewers, it's unlikely to encounter one by chance.

Molan asked again: "Where is the Snow Spider King?"

"I don't know——"

Long Bai shook his tentacles.

In the Daylight Sea Arena Battle, there were nine thousand soldiers participating in the battle. Long Bai looked carefully and found that the name of 'Edelweiss' was not on the list.

Longbai: "The Edelweiss Spider King's elemental talent is not higher than mine, and his combat awareness and fighting will are comparable to mine. Perhaps he has some self-awareness and did not participate."

"The Snow Spider King will most likely come to watch the battle. Molan, once you are on the battlefield, the Snow Spider King will definitely recognize you and will come looking for you."

"Yes……"

Molan asked: "Then how do we deal with it?"

Longbai: "Just have a normal conversation. The Edelweiss Spider King is a smart spider."

"All right--"

Molan thought for a while and asked, "No other insects know about the existence of the Great Cypress?"

"No--"

"In fact, given the current insect population and influence of our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, we can't just casually use Black Claw to snatch them, and we don't have to worry too much about being exposed."

Longbai waved his claws, breaking the soul barrier, and sighed: "Red Maple is such a bad guy, no matter how you look at him~"

...

...

Bai Wei and Hong Tao led the team back one after another.

As planned, Molan and Hongfeng used the God-given soul gene agent to evolve to the 8th and 9th ages respectively.

Ten years apart,

Molan then evolved to the 9th stage, took a short rest, and continued to use Force food to strengthen to the peak of the Star Realm.

...

On the dark glacier with the howling wind, a large group of insects including the dragon cypress, white hibiscus, and star persimmon gathered on the top of the mountain, gazing into the distance.

The glacier below the mountain,

Mo Lan was suspended in the low air without moving, energy surging in her body, and the surface of her shell was glowing with a white light that flickered.

The unstable force distorted the surrounding space, and the ground below shook.

This situation lasted for a full half month before it suddenly subsided.

Molan bent her tentacles, and two points of white light condensed at the tips of the tentacles. They dissipated on their own when she waved them gently. The invisible jet of matter combined with the air to form a hurricane that spread in all directions.

The energy waves released by the collapse of the unused abilities caused the mountains to shatter and the earth to collapse.

"..."

The dragon cypress insects flapped their wings and flew into the air, looking down in horror, speechless for a long time.

"no--"

Mo Lan came flashing, with stars shining on her forehead, and the glorious throne was released.

"The living planet is totally unable to withstand the damage caused by my abilities. Everyone, come on up, let's go to outer space!"

"The Second King is so terrifying~"

The insects all ascended onto the glorious throne.

Continuous space teleportation, in a flash they left the Black Elm Star and arrived in the dark deep space far away from the daylight sea.

Molan broke away from the Glorious Throne in a flash, and flew away and hovered a hundred kilometers away.

The original energy in the body exploded, white light on the body surface surged, infinite jets of matter burst out, and the surrounding space expanded accordingly.

suddenly,

The white light dissipates,

With Molan as the center, the space collapsed and the darkness was bottomless. The matter that exploded the previous moment flowed back and disappeared invisibly.

"Shield Pillar Ancestor, you have the strongest defense, can you help me? Let me test a simple ability..."

Molan activated her soul-fixing ability to call.

"..."

The shield pillar floated forward and paused thirty kilometers away from Molan. After thinking for a moment, it raised its claws, and a gray-white stone wall appeared out of thin air, blocking itself and Molan.

Molan: "No! Not enough!"

The shield pillar said nothing, but raised its claws, and eight more stone walls appeared, forming a line.

Molan weighed it slightly, then lightly tapped her left tentacle, and a white light shot out.

It was like a useless force, and it instantly penetrated the eight layers of stone walls and exploded at the ninth layer. A dazzling white light flashed, and a tremendous energy impact shattered the stone walls.

"This kind of attack may not be without hope of breaking through Qingyuan and Shixia's defenses..."

Molan pondered, muttered, shook his antennae, and sighed, "I'm afraid it won't work!"

Shield Pillar: “…”

As soon as Molan had a thought, the Glorious Throne carrying all the insects teleported in front of him.

"I need a rich material environment to test and practice my abilities. Long Bai, President Bai Wei, and Chief Xing Shi, everyone, come help us to activate our abilities and create things with energy. Any type of material will do, the more the better!"

"..."

"Listen to the Second King's command."

However, there was no movement of the bugs. The Force creation consumed too much energy. This job was too hard, and everyone started to discuss:
"Second King, what are you going to do?"

"Nonsense, the second king is an elementalist, so of course he wants to practice manipulating matter to fight."

"That would definitely require a huge amount of material!"

"The Force creates matter? Isn't this embarrassing for us?"

"There is a star with a rich interstellar matter less than 200 light years away from here. Unfortunately, there is no direct access to the star network. It would be great if the king could bring the Taber here..."

"Let's take over and use the technology to jump over to the star core space?"

"That will take two or three years, right? That's five or six years to go back and forth. We don't have that much time to waste."

"Go back and see if you can rent or borrow a starship?"

"Forehead……"

"The inner one..."

"I have a plan..."

Poison Bean raised his paw and pointed at the bright and magnificent sea of ​​daylight in the distance.

"There's a lot of matter there! It should be okay to borrow a spot in the corner to practice my abilities, right?"

"Even if there is a problem, the worst that can happen is that we'll be killed by the Twilight Tree Shark."

"Doesn't Molan have three chances to reincarnate? After death and resurrection, she can ask Lan Ying and Si Shu for help, and ask the Blue Vein Lord to add another reincarnation power."

"Yes."

"Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid."

"Derby, can the Stargate go directly over the battlefield barrier?"

“True truth!”

"Stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"Okay, of course I can...but..."

Yu Teng looked at Bai Wei.

Bai Wei looked at Mo Lan.

"I think it works!"

Mo Lan looked at Long Bai.

"..."

Longbai tapped his antennae in tacit agreement.

Yu Teng took out a purple crystal, floated it in front of Mo Lan, and said, "This is my latest research. When you need to leave, you can crush it to form a door of truth for your return. I will be alert here at all times and take you back as soon as possible."

Molan's forehead flashed white and she accepted it.

Derris opened its claws and forelegs, and the Gate of Truth was activated.

Molan stepped into the portal and disappeared.

All the insects changed direction.

Bai Wei activated her Sunburn ability and directly locked onto Mo Lan's position at the edge of the distant Daylight Sea. (End of this chapter)
