Astral Ants

Library Square,
As soon as Long Bai and his party stepped off the passenger Star Spider, the Shield Pillar Ancestor's tentacles twitched, stood up alert, and then relaxed.

At the same time, Long Bai noticed something strange and concentrated his mind. An extremely hidden mental power was secretly paying attention to this side and glancing at him.

"Boss Xuerong, Shield Pillar Patriarch, I plan to systematically learn about the general category of "Politics and Economics" first. What about you?"

Longbai speaks.

Xuerong: "This is my major. I'll go with you."

Shield Pillar: "I'll go read the "Natural Gods Civilization Notes" to learn about the origin and development of our civilization."

Xing Shi waved his claws and said, "Jin Li, come with me. I will teach you the knowledge of "The Law of the Cosmic Force" and "The Application of Cosmic Energy" in a systematic way."

——Is a bug that didn’t get a ranking in the competition qualified to teach a bug that ranked 214th?

Jinli looked at the Shield Pillar Ancestor.

The shield pillar waved its claws.

Jinli looked up and reluctantly agreed: "Okay——"

"..."

Long Bai: "There is plenty of time. Everyone has two hundred years to learn the knowledge that interests them. We have agreed to meet here every fifty years."

"it is good!"

"Row!"

Shield Pillar and Xingshi agreed.

The five insects move separately.

Xuerong led the way, and after many twists and turns, they arrived at a secluded path.

"I have seen the Tree of Knowledge!"

"Are you the Dragon Cypress Ant King?"

"it's me."

"Very good, this ring battle went well."

The Knowledge Tree changed the subject and asked, "Where are the group of mantises with you? Aren't you two together?"

"It's together."

Long Bai said: "Molan took the little warrior and the little Zuo Wang to travel and gain more experience."

The Knowledge Tree was displeased and asked, "Then what do you mean by coming to the library alone?"

Long Bai was stunned for a moment, then said, "...I'll learn."

Xuerong knew the temperament of the Knowledge God Tree very well. This tree was still a stingy tree. It must have mistakenly thought that Longbai knew that it had won the bet, so it came to ask for benefits.
Grand introduction said:

"Longbai Ant King manages a large chamber of commerce with an annual turnover of over 10 billion. He commands tens of thousands of Zerg warriors and is engaged in a variety of business and trade operations. He has long lost his pursuit of wealth and is more focused on self-improvement, and is more eager for power and knowledge."

"Oh--"

"Rich Ant~"

The Knowledge Tree was relieved to hear this and said happily: "Watching you fight, I know you are an extremely smart ant. Very good! Xuerong, you are familiar with the terrain, so you can be the guide for the Dragon Cypress Ant King."

"OK--"

Xuerong agreed.

Longbai said hurriedly: "Knowledge God Tree, wait a moment, I have two questions to ask you!"

The Knowledge God Tree, which was about to retreat, locked onto Longbai with its spiritual power and thoughts, and asked in a bad tone, "What's the problem?"

Long Bai: "First question, what ancient gods' creations did our Zerg civilization obtain in the last cosmic era? Can you tell me the details?"

"Can't!"

The Tree of Knowledge asked, "What's the second question?"

Long Bai asked: "In the natural god system, which 55 law trees are born permanently? Can you tell me the general types of laws they are?"

"Neither!"

The Tree of Knowledge flatly refused and asked in a stern tone, "Ant, is this something you should be asking about? What are your intentions? What are your plans? Are you planning a rebellion?"

"no!"

Long Bai quickly denied it.

Most plants can't communicate normally, and this broken knowledge tree is no exception!

"..."

Long Bai choked for a moment, then quickly clarified: "I want to gain some knowledge and broaden my understanding of the ultimate power of the universe. Of course, by the way, I want to learn in advance which law trees will be born in the future, and whether there are any that will be of great help to my growth and evolution. If there are, I can lie dormant and wait for millions or tens of millions of years. If not, I will evolve upwards."

"greedy!"

The Knowledge Tree said: "Your current core abilities are already complex enough... In your current situation, you should figure out how to simplify it."

"Also, what knowledge? What cognition? Before the True God of Nature evolved into a True God, he was penniless and had no knowledge or cognition. Later, however, the insects and trees under the protection of the True God of Nature obtained inexhaustible resources and had vast knowledge, but what was the result? No one else was able to become a True God. Why?"

"Is it because you don't have enough talent? Or are you not smart enough? I think you bugs are all more cunning than the other. You are too smart."

"The human race has a very good saying. I'll teach it to you: The heart of Tao is very subtle, but it is only pure and one. Don't understand? Let Xuerong take you to look up the history of human civilization in the category of miscellaneous studies. If you still don't understand, go to the road where the Law of the Universe's Original Force is recorded."

"Forehead……"

Longbai tapped his tentacles thoughtfully and said, "Thank you for the guidance of the Knowledge Tree!"

"Stupid bug."

The Tree of Knowledge cursed and its mental strength faded away.

"..."

"Longbai Ant King, where are we going? Miscellaneous Studies Class?"

"no need……"

The main purpose of Long Bai's visit to the library this time was to read and study the relevant knowledge of "Politics and Economics" and think about how to optimize Xianglanshan's management system and business model to further expand and strengthen the Chamber of Commerce.

The second is to systematically learn the knowledge of the Force. The Star Realm is the last chance to adjust and perfect the way of evolution. Take a final look at yourself. If there is no problem, then rush forward.

But the Tree of Knowledge said this...

Longbai said, "Boss Xuerong, let's go read the knowledge of "The Law of the Universe's Force" first."

...

...

In the process of force food trade, different types of energy are classified using unified numerical codes, and this classification is universal.

For example, the zero-type ability is numbered 00, the metal system is numbered 01, the wood system is numbered 02, and so on, the soul system is numbered 10, and the space system is numbered 11.

Further down there are various common supernatural power numbers, such as the light and dark system number 13, the destiny system number 097, and the chaos system number is the highest number 99, which echoes the 'zero system' number 00.

Within the same element system, different types of energy are divided and marked with different characters. The 11-digit number can cover almost all types of force food in the universe.

In the field of the Law of the Force, the situation is much more complicated, mainly involving a large number of combinations and changes of different types of the Force.

Single-series extreme, double-series extreme, triple-series combination, multi-series combination and so on.

Theoretically, the combinations are infinite.

The "Laws of the Force of the Universe" category of the Knowledge God Tree records the core ability combinations of the powerful masters of the Zerg, Tree Tribe, and alien civilizations that have appeared in the past history. It is also the feasible evolutionary "Tao" that has been verified by practice.

The number exceeds 23 million, which is huge and complex, and is marked in different categories using -digit characters.

The first thing Longbai needs to understand in depth is the evolution of the "world" and the "force".

Xuerong was familiar with the road and led the team straight to the world type area numbered 55.

"what--"

Edelweiss and Longbai stopped at the same time.

I could smell two unusual scents from a distance.

Longbai is very familiar.

The taste of the Pure Land!
"The White-Faced God and the Black-Faced God!"

"Over there~"

"This path seems to record the energy of all living beings?"

"Yes!"

"These two guys are checking me out? What do they want to do?"

"Most likely he lost the ring battle, so he's not convinced."

"Um--"

"No! The Tree of Knowledge asked me to come here. Could it be..."

"Maybe he is instructing you to communicate with the White-Faced God and the Black-Faced God to answer the questions in your heart."

"My thoughts are clear and I have no doubts."

"..."

"Then let's go around it?"

"Don't beat around the bush. Go over and say hello."

...

The White-Faced God and the Black-Faced God also noticed the approach of Longbai and Xuerong. The two figures, one black and one white, were staring at the winding path.

"Longbai Ant King?"

The White-Faced God greeted him with doubt and a hint of caution.

"White-faced God!"

"Black-faced God!"

Longbai responded and introduced, "This is the librarian, Xuerong. He led the way and took me to look up some knowledge related to the world and the energy of all living beings."

Long Bai asked politely, "Are you also interested in the energy of all living beings?"

The White-Faced God replied, "Curiosity. Incredible power. Learn something or two."

The White-Faced God's personality is not as pure and cold as his aura suggests. He was indeed a little unwilling to accept his defeat in the Daylight Sea Arena, and said:
"All life will release the energy of all living things. The higher the level of the original force, the stronger the energy of all living things will naturally be. The battlefield of the Daylight Sea has gathered hundreds of billions of Zerg warriors at the Star Realm and the Su Realm to watch the battle. They provide you with infinite and huge energy support." "That's right!"

Long Bai asked back: "You are different? You have the power of laws provided by the dimension world of the Ancient Gods, the Immaculate Kingdom."

"That's allowed by the rules..."

The White-Faced God shook his tentacles and said helplessly: "Of course, the rules do not prohibit the energy of sentient beings outside the field. In the daylight sea arena battle environment, I really can't beat you."

What do you mean? Just change your location?

The winner was already decided. Long Bai had no intention of continuing this meaningless argument. He changed the subject and asked:

"White-Faced God, Black-Faced God, you have all eaten the White Crystal Fruit, right? Why don't you learn the Sinking Sea of ​​the Holy Butterfly Tribe?"

The black-faced god was silent and swayed its tentacles left and right.

The White-Faced God said: "We mainly comprehend the power bestowed by the artifact, and only accept power that can enhance or strengthen the power of the artifact. The resurrection ability is enough as a reinforcement, and there is no need to invest too much time and energy."

Xuerong couldn't help but say, "That's not necessarily true, right? White-Faced God, if you can comprehend the energy of all living beings and the energy of death, combine it with the Immaculate Country, and perfect the dimensional world, the whole world can be sublimated."

The White-Faced God still shook his tentacles and said, "The Immaculate Kingdom is a pure and flawless world. The nature of its power is to purify all alien powers. The nature of the elemental power is completely opposite, it embraces all powers. Both use the world as a carrier, but their natures repel each other and there is no possibility of combining them."

Long Bai asked: "What if it is the Yuanli of a single living being? This is an extraordinary power with great vitality."

"Longbai Ant King, you seem to lack sufficient understanding of your own power?"

The White-Faced God pointed to the branches and vines of the Knowledge God Tree beside the road and said, "There are detailed records and explanations here. I suggest you take a look first."

"Row……"

Long Bai put on a solemn expression.

"Then you guys take your time to watch. Black-Faced God and I will go for a walk around the area."

The white-faced god waved his tentacles to signal and was about to leave with the black-faced god.

"Wait a mininute."

Long Bai's heart moved, and he hurriedly stopped him, saying enthusiastically: "Your Concave Shield Spotted Bee Clan is also developing in the Baijing Galaxy? Let's exchange addresses and visit each other more often when we have time."

Long Bai immediately explained, "My Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has four Force plants that have awakened purification energy fields. One of them is extremely important. I hope to have the opportunity to invite you two to visit our Xianglan Mountain territory."

"Oh--"

In the translucent eyes of the White-Faced God, a green light flashed slightly, and his originally lukewarm attitude instantly became warm, and he said:
"What the Dragon Cypress Ant King means is that your Force plants need to learn from my purification power?"

"Yes."

Long Bai said heavily: "There is a generous reward!"

The White-Faced God didn't say much. The space in front of him shook slightly, and two large spider silk bags floated out and landed in front of Long Bai.

"Longbai Ant King, take a look."

"what!"

Xuerong was surprised and rushed to open the spider silk bag.

Inside the bag is a snow-white, translucent crystal.

Pure, unadulterated purification type power.

The two spider silk bags contain crystals of the same type but different grades.

The White-Faced God explained, "This is the 'Purification Crystal' produced by the Immaculate Country. There are two grades: the initial zero-grade purification crystal, which corresponds to the initial purification power below the star realm; the first-grade purification crystal, which corresponds to the star realm level."

"It has two functions. The first and most important one is that it can be used by plants and warriors who want to comprehend purification energy fields and abilities. By absorbing the power inside, they can directly improve themselves, or they can draw on the divine purification power of artifacts. The second function is that if they are contaminated by toxins, curses, or other corrosive forces during battle, they can use the power of the Crystal of Void to purify themselves. At a critical moment, it may be able to save lives."

The White-Faced God paused and said, "The Black-Faced God and I do not have a tribe, nor do we run a guild. We are just two lone bees. We mainly make a living by selling the Crystal of Purity. However, due to the limited production, we have always sold it in a small circle. The buyers are all friends we know, or friends of friends, so the price cannot be too high. It is always a friend price."

Long Bai picked up two and looked at them, asking, "What's the price? Is this thing made of original crystal? It's similar to source crystal."

"You are right. The principle of generation is the same. The difference is that the Void Crystal can only be produced in the Immaculate Country."

The White-Faced God answered, "Level 100 Air Purification Crystal costs 2000 original crystals per piece; Level Air Purification Crystal costs original crystals per piece."

“The price is not expensive…”

Longbai asked, "Shall I try?"

White-Faced God: "Of course!"

Longbai turned his head and looked at Xuerong, without making any expression, and a blessing from the star god descended upon him.

Xuerong: “…”

With a light flick of Edelweiss's claws, 100 first-level air-purification crystals jumped out of the spider silk bag. They shattered one by one, and the ownerless purification-type force exploded, and was sucked into Edelweiss's body by opening its mouth.

The invisible blessing power lingering around my body gradually faded.

When 81 pieces are used, all the power of the Star God's blessing is purified.

Xuerong, out of his past professional habits, gave a fair review: "The stuff is OK. Pretty good. It's worth stocking up in moderation for times of turmoil or deep space expeditions."

"If it is used on Force plants to assist in comprehending purification-type powers, the effect should be very good."

“This price is quite reasonable.”

Since Xuerong, the old traveling merchant, has said so...

Long Bai asked, "I want to buy 40 first-level air-purifying crystals, and I'll give you 40 zero-level air-purifying crystals for free. How about that?"

The White-Faced God didn't think twice and readily agreed: "Sure!"

After saying that, his figure drifted backwards, the space rippled, and a large number of spider silk bags appeared out of thin air and landed smoothly on the road.

One bag contains 1000 pieces.

A total of 80 pills, or 800 bags, is actually not a lot.

Connect StarNet accounts and complete the transfer.

Longbai put all of them into Shanglu Space.

Xuerong chatted with him and asked, "White-faced God, theoretically speaking, there are also level 2 Void Crystals corresponding to the level of the Sujing realm, right?"

The White-Faced God replied, "Yes! But the gestation period is quite long, more than 100,000 years. I have only been in the Brilliant Transformation Evolution Realm for less than 70,000 years. The first batch will be produced in about 30,000 to 40,000 years."

"The selling price has been decided, 3 original crystals per piece. The Immaculate Country has limited space and divine power, so only 1 million pieces will be produced in the first batch. The quantity is very limited. If you need it, you can make a reservation in advance."

As he spoke, he took out a silver-white alloy plate.

"This is a letter issued by my private bug, with my unique anti-counterfeiting mark. One letter corresponds to 1 Level 1001 Void Purity Crystals. If you recognize the letter instead of the bug, go to the Level 047 source Xingsuisha star system, Dashuo star, South Commercial District, Xiangfuzi Street, No. , Zuodao, Baidu Shop to exchange it when the time comes. Most of the time, I am in charge of the shop myself, and occasionally the Black-faced God will be in charge."

Xuerong: “…”

Long Bai: "..."

I didn't realize that this is a very professional business bug~
Longbai asked, "Pay in full?"

The White-Faced God pointed at the letter and said, "The Holy Butterfly Tribe's Xingsui Lord has given me this guarantee. If I run away, you can take the letter and ask Xingsui Lord to pay me three times the amount."

The White-Faced God thoughtfully reminded, "There is not much left in the first batch. The next batch will have to wait 100,000 years."

"..."

"All right--"

Long Bai carefully read the agreement in the letter and said, "Then I will take 4 first."

"okay!"

The space in front of the White-Faced God rippled slightly, and four scrolls of letters floated towards Long Bai. "These are valuables, Boss Long Bai, please keep them carefully."

Long Bai: "..."

Both parties complete the transfer.

A deal worth 20 billion raw crystals was concluded after a brief conversation, and everyone was happy. There is also a great possibility of further transactions in the future.

The relationship between the two sides became close instantly.

The White-faced God and the Black-faced God were not in a hurry to leave.

The White-Faced God started the conversation and asked, "Boss Longbai, it's obvious that you have a very close relationship with the Holy Butterfly Tribe. Let me ask you rashly, which star field are you developing in? The Xiange Star Field? Are you very familiar with the Xiange Lord who is leading the Holy Butterfly Tribe this time?"

"That's it."

Long Bai said truthfully: "I am developing in the Fengyan Star Region. However, I am very familiar with Xia Li, a student of Lord Xiange. We are old friends since we were on our home planet..."

"..."

The four bugs started chatting.

The uses of air purifier crystal are relatively obscure and it is actually difficult to sell.

Long Bai revealed his chamber of commerce's power and huge insect vein connections without reservation.

The White-Faced God and the Black-Faced God were deeply moved upon hearing this, their eyes sparkling with excitement, unable to conceal it.

Seeing that the foreshadowing is almost done and the atmosphere is set,

Long Bai asked tentatively: "White-faced God, what does the Immaculate Country look like? Can you let me take a look?"

"I'm afraid it's not convenient."

"The creations of the ancient gods are not 'things' in the conventional sense. They have become one with me..."

The White-Faced God explained, thinking for a moment, and said, "At the moment, I can control a little bit of divine power, and I can show it to you."

As he spoke, a hazy white light lit up on his carapace. Starting from the carapace, dense, mysterious and complex transparent patterns spread out, quickly covering the entire body.

The White-Faced God said: "This is not the 'divine pattern of law' in the ordinary sense, but the divine pattern of the Immaculate Country."

"!!!"

Longbai and Xuerong's eyes sparkled as they looked carefully, then all looked towards the Black-Faced God.

"..."

The Black-Faced God didn't waste any words. There was no light fluctuation at all, and even the fluctuation of the Force could not be felt. The same was true on the carapace. The obscure and transparent, complex and mysterious patterns spread and quickly spread throughout the body.

Longbai and Xuerong looked at each other.

I understood the intention of the Tree of Knowledge in asking me to come here for a look.

Is this the power of the true God? It is pure and clean.

Long Bai realized the direction and method of his future growth and evolution: integrating existing abilities into a single, pure "world force". (End of this chapter)
