Astral Ants

The nine naturally derived planets in the Mars star system vary in size. The largest one has a diameter of more than 9 kilometers and its surface is covered with methane lakes.

The smallest one is just over 2000 kilometers in diameter, called the "Little Wax Star", with weak gravity on the surface and no atmosphere. The Amber Remnant Carapace Tribe uses this place as a temporary "star port" and is using technological equipment to manufacture raw stones here.

The planet rotates slowly and happens to be facing the direction of the star, so Long Bai and his team did not notice it.

A cave living room temporarily built next to the mountain.

The mountain disaster master drove away the other insects, leaving only two remaining beetle warriors.

"Captain Longbai, after more than three million years of development, the Baijing Galaxy should be considered to be very prosperous, right?"

The Lord of Mountain Disasters chatted and asked questions.

Longbai replied:

"Not bad! It's mainly the Zerg warriors who came out of their mother planet. They brought a large number of God-given Force plants and treasures from the old universe era bestowed by the True God of Nature into the White Crystal Galaxy, driving the rapid development of the entire galaxy. It takes on a new look every 18,000 years.

Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has an engineering fleet consisting of five survival motherships of different sizes. In the past 5 years, the number of engineering projects has obviously decreased. The reclamation and construction of the Baijing Galaxy has entered its final stage. "

The Mountain Disaster Lord asked again, "What about the Liming and Lizhu star systems?"

Long Bai replied, "The changes should not be big. Everything is very prosperous. Large tribal fleets are constantly leaving, and new chambers of commerce and new Zerg warriors take their place. It's a relatively stable cycle of the old and the new."

The Mountain Disaster Lord asked, "Is there only one new sacred tree of law?"

“There should be only one…”

Long Bai was not very sure, and said: "We have contact with other forces that possess the sacred trees of laws. We exchange divine fruits and communicate with each other. The ones I know about so far are the Ghost King Sophora Tree, the Giant Dragon Bamboo Tree, the White Crystal Tree, the Rosary Tree, the Peach Blossom Tree, the Seven-Colored Tree, and the two most special Shanglu Tree and the Dusk Tree. I have never heard of the others."

The Mountain Disaster Lord asked, "What did you say before? Ancient God's creation? Divine weapon? Can you be more specific?"

Long Bai: "Unknown, the 'divine artifact' condensed by the true god of the ancient universe in an unknown way. It is said to be two transparent round beads, an aggregation of divine power and laws, not an 'instrument' in the conventional sense. It first appeared in the old universe era, a divine civilization called the Binary Star Empire..."

Long Bai recounted the story in detail.

The Lord of Mountain Disasters nodded his tentacles repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Captain Longbai, which Level 7 and Level 8 Flame Spider Chambers of Commerce have good reputations in the Baijing Galaxy?"

"The credibility is pretty good. I don't have much dealings with level 7 and 8 chambers of commerce, so I can't go into details."

"What about the Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce, which is level five or six and has a certain level of strength and credibility?"

"That's a lot... I've had less contact, so it's hard to explain in detail."

"I heard you mention the Luoli Chamber of Commerce earlier? As far as I know, their Luoli president has close ties with the Holy Butterfly Tribe. Their business should be good, right?"

"Yes. With the full support of the Holy Butterfly Tribe, they have developed rapidly in the White Crystal Galaxy and have become a Level 7 Chamber of Commerce. The old spiders who started the business with President Luo Li organized a super fleet 100,000 years ago, with millions of insects traveling together to the starry sea..."

The Amber Remnant Beetle clan has left the three major galaxies for more than three million years.

The Lord of Mountain Disaster urgently needed information about the three major galaxies and kept asking.

The most important thing for the Amber Remnant Beetle Tribe to develop new galaxies is to build a star network. The best solution is to seek cooperation with the old 7th and 8th level Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce, while supporting the emerging 5th and 6th level Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce to hinder those old chambers of commerce.

It is necessary to introduce a moderate amount of Zerg tribes or chambers of commerce with a large population, certain strength and financial resources. At the same time, it is even more necessary to introduce tribal forces that have come out of the mother planet, are currently developing in a mediocre way, but have great potential in the future.

The Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce’s transactions covered eleven star regions, and they actually knew quite a few of these tribes, and they patiently introduced them to the Lord of the Mountain Disaster.

After a long question-and-answer session,

The Lord of Mountain Disaster has a general understanding of the current situation in the Baijing Galaxy.

Long Bai finally had the opportunity to ask a question, and asked: "Lord Shanyao, how far is your tribe's 'Amber Galaxy' from the existing three major galaxies? Are you planning the route? What is the approximate distance?"

The Lord of the Mountain Disaster replied: "The closest one is to the Lizhu Galaxy, about 1950 million light years away."

"The Huoyanglan Star Region, the Lizhu Galaxy, and the Baijing Galaxy are almost connected in a straight line. If the fleet departs from the Baijing Galaxy, it can first go to the Lizhu Galaxy, replenish supplies, and then depart. The total voyage is about 2250 million light years. If the endurance is strong, it can go directly from the Baijing Galaxy to the Huoyanglan Star Region, shortening the voyage to 2200 million light years."

The Mountain Disaster Lord said, "It is even farther from the Dawn Galaxy. The best route is still from the Dawn Galaxy to the Lizhu Galaxy, resupply once, and then set off to the Huoyala Star Region for resupply... By this calculation, the voyage is 2300 million light years."

"..."

Long Bai and his group were dumbfounded and kept silent.

This is too far!

Based on the conventional star spider and starship's speed of 1000 times the speed of light, it would take 1.9 to 2.3 years.

Lying dormant, consuming 1900 to 2300 years of life.

Zerg warriors at the Trace Realm level cannot run that far.

It's a bit fatal for the Zerg warriors in the half-star realm.

Only Zerg warriors at the planetary level or above have enough lifespan to make such a long voyage.

Ang Tianlian spoke cautiously and asked tentatively: "A large galaxy with a diameter of 15 light years is predicted to produce more than 300 third-level source points? Then, Lord Shanyang, would you mind telling me how many of them your Amber Remnant Beetle tribe occupies?"

The Mountain Disaster Lord replied, "We occupied 176 of them when we left. Before we left, the tribe held a meeting to discuss that we, the Amber Remnant Beetle tribe, only need to maintain ownership of more than half, that is, more than 150 third-level source points, to ensure that the tribe's ruling position in the star field is unshakable. We will not occupy more than that. For the third-level source points we control now, we will give up the management rights of some of them, and directly give up the ownership of some of them..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Longbai, Angtianlian and the other insects became excited again, their minds racing.

Mo Lan couldn't hold back any longer, so she raised her paw to signal and asked tentatively, "Lord Shanyao, can you give us a level 3 source point for our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce?"

Mountain Disaster Lord: “…”

Mountain Disaster Overlord: "You should know how valuable the third-level source points are. We can't give them up for nothing... We mainly need to negotiate with the seventh- and eighth-level chambers of commerce and ask them to contribute money, manpower, and equipment to undertake the construction of important star systems and star network trunk roads. This kind of investment is measured in Chaos Origin Stones, in billions."

Mountain Disaster Overlord: "Around the third-level source point, quickly build a star system and a sufficient number of life planets for the Zerg warriors who will arrive later to settle down. Build a star network to connect the third-level source points, create convenient transportation, stabilize public security and order, and establish a monetary system."

"Only when these are done well can a galaxy enter the track of development and reclamation. To do this well, the investment is probably trillions of Chaos Crystals and hundreds of millions of Zerg warriors."

The Mountain Disaster Lord asked, "What can you do? How much can you do?"

Molan: "We can help build star systems! There are so many things we can do..."

Molan said, and then she changed her mind and waved her paw in anger, saying, "Forget it, you just think we are too weak and look down on us? I don't want your third-level source points. I will find the place myself when I get there. I have taken all the remaining more than 100 third-level source points."

Mountain Disaster Lord: “…”

This mantis reeks of an incompletely evolved savage insect, and its words are not at all reliable.

However, this cypress ant has a calm personality, clear narration, careful and logical discussion, and is steady and serious, a rare smart insect.

By observing the expressions, words and deeds of the group of insects, it is not difficult to see that the ant is the absolute leader of the team, and the mantis should be an insect funded by the Chamber of Commerce and specially used for fighting.

He probably has a high position because of his seniority and prestige, but in fact, he has no leadership or decision-making power.

The Lord of the Mountain Disaster ignored Mo Lan, stared at Long Bai, and said sincerely: "Great Chief Long Bai, you have the Law Tree, extraordinary strength, and strong power. If you are willing to join the Amber Galaxy and participate in the development and construction of the Amber Galaxy, our Amber Remnant Beetle Tribe will definitely, definitely, and must give you various preferential treatments. However, I, a bug, cannot decide the details. I will be in charge of work in the Huoyala Star Region for a long time, and I can't even participate in decision-making..."

After the Mountain Disaster Lord finished speaking, he thought about it and a metal ball flew out from the depths of the nest.

寰，
Portable space equipment.

The Lord of Mountain Disasters controlled the floating object in front of him, communicating with his mind. The space was rippling, and a maroon wooden plate and a knowledge compass floated out and gently landed in front of Longbai.

"This is a 'letter card' issued by our Amber Remnant Beetle Tribe. It has my name and seal on it, which means I recommended you and I guarantee your reputation. I only got 10 pieces in total, so I'm giving one to you."

"With this letter, you can go to the Manchi Teng star system and visit the great leader Manchi directly. Tell him that it is my cordial invitation and he will give you sufficient preferential treatment."

"The knowledge compass records the star navigation map to the Amber Galaxy. In the middle is the first-level source point, the Muhe Star, and the third-level source point, the Tupingcao Star Region, which is similar to this place. Our Amber Remnant Beetle Tribe has arranged warriors to build these two supply stations."

"Thank you, Lord of the Mountain Disaster!"

Long Bai thanked him politely, picked it up, took a quick look at it, and put it into Shanglu's space.

Ang Tianlian started the conversation and asked, "Lord Shanyang, three million years ago, your tribe should have set out from the Lizhu Star System, right?"

Mountain Disaster Lord: "Of course."

Ang Tianlian: "Is your tribe's development model... a single amber remnant beetle tribe?"

The Mountain Disaster Lord said: "The Amber Remnant Beetle Tribe evolved from the Coarse-Striped Remnant Beetle Tribe, so there are many Coarse-Striped Remnant Beetle Warriors. In addition, there are 37 tribes of different sizes, such as Claw Beetles, Bearded Beetles, Green Beetles, and Star Beetles, which jointly established the 'Amber Chamber of Commerce'. There are many insects, and it was once considered a little famous in the Lizhu Star System."

"Oh--"

Longbai flicked his antennae and exclaimed: "A great tribe of foot beetles!"

Ang Tianlian asked: "When you left, did you leave some of the insects behind to manage the business?"

"Of course."

Lord Shanyan knew what Ang Tianlian wanted to ask, so he explained directly: "We also have a team led by Lord Difeng who will return to the Lizhu Star System to contact the remaining soldiers and negotiate with the Level 7 and Level 8 Chambers of Commerce at the same time."

"Lord Difeng set out 1500 years ago and is expected to arrive at the Lizhu Galaxy 4000 years later. It will take about 3000 years for the news to spread from the Lizhu Galaxy to the Baijing Galaxy? Our Amber Chamber of Commerce also needs to make full preparations. It will take at least 7000 years for the news to reach the Baijing Galaxy."

The Mountain Disaster Lord asked, "Where is your starship? How fast is it?"

Ang Tianlian said vaguely: "The starship is stored in Shanglu space, and it is very fast."

Long Bai said truthfully: "It is a legacy of a certain level 2200 peak technological civilization in the old universe. Its maximum empty-load speed is times the speed of light."

"Oh--"

The Mountain Disaster Overlord was amazed and praised: "The True God of Nature favors those Zerg warriors who are smart, so he can rest assured to give them all kinds of good things to use!"

"It will take less than 4000 years to return to the White Crystal Galaxy? Then you can have an information advantage and do many things..."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right?"

Mo Lan suddenly had an idea and said, "My most respected Chief Longbai, your reincarnation ability should be at the right level, right? Can you be reborn across 800 million light years?"

Molan: "You're going to die? We won't go back and wait for you here? You quickly organize a fleet to come and meet us!"

Long Bai: "Second King is wise! Follow Second King's command!"

Mountain Disaster Lord: “…”

The Mountain Disaster Lord asked in confusion, "As far as I know, in reincarnation, the soul returns to the life seed at ten thousand times the speed of light to complete the rebirth? Is there a distance limit? The higher the realm, the farther the rebirth distance?"

Long Bai: "Yes."

Long Bai introduced truthfully: "My realm has reached the peak of the second level. I am free from the life seeds and the restrictions of water. I can be resurrected at will with the help of life planets. Accordingly, it is not a big problem to be reborn across a distance of 800 million light years."

“Amazing!” The Mountain Disaster Overlord sighed sincerely, looking at Long Bai with a higher regard, “At such a young age, his realm is already so high. I’m afraid he is a genius whose comprehension surpasses Tian Lu’s. His future achievements will surely be higher than Tian Lu’s!”

"Not even close."

“There’s no comparison.”

Long Bai shook his tentacles modestly and said solemnly: "Lord of the Mountain Disaster, we need to use the source point here to condense 100 billion original crystals..."

The Lord of the Mountain Disaster said: "As you please."

...

Under the astonished gaze of the Amber Broken Beetle Tribe warriors led by the Mountain Disaster Lord, Long Bai activated "Boundless Mountains and Seas, Infinite True Realm" to cover the entire Little Wax Star.

The barren planet turned into a lush life planet with green mountains and clear waters.

Half virtual and half real.

The crystal cluster's growth ability works, and the original crystal 'seeds' are quickly generated in the mountain range, which continuously absorb the original force and turn the virtual into the real.

The ability of 'Boundless Mountains and Seas, Infinite True Realm' needs to be activated continuously.

Longbai was bored, so he used his ability to create water, covering the barren planet with a layer of solid ice.

In an environment of 3.4-level Force concentration, it took less than fifty years for the original crystal to be generated and the Taber to be fully filled with energy.

Cockpit,
Longbai read the star map recorded in the knowledge compass and imported it into the database through the artist.

The cabin space was lit up with "silver-white disks" with character numbers, such as Goose Palm XXXX Chaos Galaxy and Giant Heron XXXX Chaos Galaxy.

There are also some chaotic galaxies that are so far away that they don’t have any numbers at all.

In the vast universe, the "silver disks" are scattered sparsely.

The Lizhu Galaxy was surrounded by blue lines.

A slightly winding light green line starts from the Lizhu Galaxy and connects to a large galaxy surrounded by an amber ring.

The light green line connects the three chaotic galaxies in the middle, and the three green spots are marked: Huoyangla Star Region, Muhe Star Region, and Tupingcao Star Region
Line segment annotations have inaccurate distances:
The distance from the Lizhu Galaxy to the Huoyangla Star Region is 550 million light years.

The distance from the Huoyangla star region to the Muhe star is 300 million light years.

The distance from Schima superba to the Cyperus star region is 450 million light years.

The distance from the Amber Galaxy to the Amber Galaxy is 600 million light years.

Only the route from the Lizhu Galaxy to the Amber Galaxy is marked, with a total distance of about 1900 million light years.

After observing it for a while, Long Bai said, "The entire route is evenly divided, and the longest distance is only 600 million light years. The Taber carries 140 billion original crystals, which ensures that it can complete the journey safely with only a small sacrifice in speed."

"According to the Second King's instructions... I will return to the White Crystal Galaxy and quickly organize an expedition fleet to reunite here."

"Our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce will first select a group of warriors at the Sujing level who are smart and good at fighting. I will lead the team personally and take the Taber to the Amber Galaxy as quickly as possible...to seize the source!"

“This is the best way!”

Molan raised his paws in agreement, and said fiercely, joyfully, and hopefully: "It's been 260,000 years. How many trillions of rent have we paid? It's time to turn over and become a landlord. I want to be a big landlord!"

"..."

Long Bai looked at Ang Tianlian and said, "Captain Ang Tianlian, are you staying too?"

Ang Tianlian: "...I can only stay."

Long Bai said: "When the time comes, let's board the Taber and head to the Amber Galaxy to search for the source. What you find... will belong to you."

Ang Tianlian: “Okay!”

Zi Chan said, "Captain Longbai, the Seameng is docked at Shuye Star. You also have the fourth-order control authority of the Seameng. By the way, can you help transport the Seameng here? And then transport it to the Amber Galaxy."

"No problem! It's a piece of cake."

Long Bai readily agreed, and then said: "After the reunion, we will act in two batches. The first batch, the Taber, will be lightly equipped and quickly rush to the Amber Galaxy; the second batch will transform the Molan, carrying Zerg warriors, Force food, and mothership materials, and sail to the Amber Galaxy at 1200 times the speed of light..."

The insects discussed and quickly worked out a general plan of action.

Molan, Ang Tianlian and their group stayed.

The Tubber and the artist stayed behind.

Longbai self-disintegrated and died cleanly.

...

...

Fengyan Star Region, Bauhinia Star System, Potato Leaf Star,
Longbai marked the lake in the northern 4201 area as the first resurrection point.
The lake surges,

The invisible force of all living beings, which cannot be perceived by ordinary Force life forms, converges along with the natural force between heaven and earth.

A white spot of light formed in the center of the lake, quickly expanding and turning into a white cocoon.

"???"

"Chief Longbai?"

"Oh no~"

"Great Chief Longbai died in battle?"

The dragonfly warrior Dongqing who was patrolling in the air noticed something strange and called out with his spiritual power, "Captain Longbai has resurrected!"

"Giant Cypress! Giant Cypress! Come quickly and take a look. Great Chief Longbai has resurrected in the lake. Has something happened to the adventure team?"

"..."

The giant cypress crossed the space, teleported over, and raised its paw to signal for silence.

Juniper, cedar, green cypress, pomelo, mulberry, catalpa, and bletilla striata arrived soon after.

"what's the situation?"

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"The King has returned from the dead!"

"Where is the second king?"

"Is it possible that he is in danger?"

"It's just a fire-type innate deity. Can't it be dealt with by waving its claws?"

"..."

The insects looked solemn.

"With the strength of the Great King and the Second Great King, no other insect in this universe can defeat them unless they are the master."

The giant cypress said slowly, waving his claws, and said, "Don't panic, it may be an emergency, and the king is in a hurry to come back."

——What’s the hurry?

——Transform the third-level source point?
——But you have to get rich first and be wealthy, right?
——Don’t Sishu and Boss Xia Li have 600 million Chaos Crystals in assets stored here with us?
The insects murmured and felt a little relieved.

Two full days later,
The cocoon bursts,

Longbai came out, his shell hardened quickly, he stretched his legs and feet, sorted out his thoughts, and opened his StarNet account to check:

[Time: 78th Era-381 Yuan-819 Years]

It is indeed 800 times the speed of light, 800 million light years, and it only took about years.

Counting it up,
The fleet led by the Amber Remnant Beagle Tribe and the Earth Maple Lord will take about 3100 years to reach the Lizhu Star System...

"Your Majesty?"

"Chief Longbai?"

"My king, is there something wrong?"

"Where is the second king?"

The insects asked cautiously.

"Nothing happened!"

"Something big happened."

Long Bai looked solemn and asked, "Where is President Bai Wei?"

Xiangbai: "President Bai Wei and Hong Tao are patrolling the eleven star regions, and their whereabouts are not very fixed."

Long Bai: "Then please invite President Zeqi over first..."

According to the soul-fixing ability, Zeqi is not in Huangtao Mountain. There is only a fish vine lying in the cave, dormant and meditating.

Yu Teng is in the main space system. He improves his space power through dormant meditation, but his evolutionary level remains at the stellar level.

"..."

Longbai paused and ordered, "Jubai, go and make arrangements. Gather all members of the Chamber of Commerce who are level 15 and above and quickly return to the Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce to hold a meeting."

"Forehead……"

Jubai asked, "My king, what happened?"

Longbai directly activated the ability of "Tree Flower Heart Realm" to write the relevant information of "Amber Galaxy" into the soul consciousness of giant cypress, juniper, cedar and other insects.

After the insects were shocked and delighted,
Long Bai asked: "Where is the Molan survival carrier operating? I will go there myself." (End of this chapter)
