Astral Ants

[Time: 78th Era-437 Yuan-784 Years]

The fleet led by Bai Wei jumped to a position 0.1 light-year away from the Manchi star system and changed to sub-light speed to approach.

The three insects, Hongtao, Nandi, and Zhuban, the Douglas Mountain warriors led by the great leader Xingshi, and the warriors led by Xianglan Mountain, including Quercus, Alnus redus, and Rotor, all went out of the cabin and activated the Sunburn ability to look around.

After 37500 years,
The source star system, which was originally sparsely populated by insects, has now become a prosperous commercial district with insects coming and going and overcrowding.

"Didn't you say that there are more source points than bugs? There are quite a few bugs, right?"

Chief Xingshi asked.

"At this stage, there are indeed more source points than Zerg. The source points are scattered in galaxies with a diameter of 15 light years. However, Zerg warriors are inevitably concentrated in large numbers in the Manchi star system." Hongtao answered rationally.

Xing Shi: “…”

Zhuban was sharp-eyed. He suddenly removed the sun-burning light curtain in front of him and shouted in surprise: "Over there! The Tubai! Chief Longbai! Hey, whose three motherships are they? Those are the poisonous beans..."

When he saw the poisonous beans, Zhuban's good mood instantly dropped by half.

Long Bai and his team also discovered the fleet here. They turned around and waved their tentacles to issue orders. Fish Vine, Poison Bean, and Poison Wheat entered the three survival motherships respectively.

The mothership started, continued to accelerate, and headed towards us.

The two sides approached, slowed down, and hovered.

"Leader Longbai!"

"The Great Leader of Star Persimmon!"

"Hearts!"

"Hey! Yu Teng, you're here too?"

"Hey! White-faced God! Black-faced God!"

"Ah! Isn't this my most beloved elder, Zhuban? What are you doing here? Where is President Bai Wei? I am going to criticize you. President Bai Wei cannot be moved easily. You are not staying by her side to protect her safety and be on standby to obey orders. What are you doing here to watch the fun? And you, Nan Di, you too..."

When the poisonous bean speaks, at least one bug is unhappy...

Pillar plaque is always the first choice...

"..."

"Damn Beans, be quiet!"

Longbai waved his tentacles and hit Dudou on the head with a whip.

It was a happy, lively scene of a long-awaited reunion, but it was disrupted by Du Dou and became a little dull in an instant.

Long Bai asked: "White-faced God, Black-faced God, you two should be..."

Hong Tao explained: "The technology to manufacture dimensional world-class 'Huan' is monopolized by the three major chambers of commerce headed by the Dawn Chamber of Commerce in the Dawn Galaxy. They have united and raised the price to 50 original crystals per cubic meter. We can't afford it, and we can't buy a large-space 'Huan'."

Longbai: “Oh…”

The regular price of 'Huan' is 1 raw crystal/cubic meter.

This is only 50 times?
The Liming Chamber of Commerce still has a bottom line and speaks of conscience...

Little did they know that the price of starships here has been hyped up to 500 times the normal price...

Hong Tao noticed the change in Long Bai's mood, paused for a moment, and continued:

"So I thought of the White-Faced God. Its 'Unsullied Kingdom' is a self-contained world of god-level laws, which can better accommodate Zerg warriors to survive for a long time. So, I hired the White-Faced God and the Black-Faced God to join the fleet with a large sum of money."

Hong Tao: "The White-Faced God will help transport the soldiers. The Black-Faced God is extremely powerful and can escort the fleet. We promise you a first-level source star system, Lingxiao star system, Baiwei star, and permanent residency rights in a district."

Long Bai: "I understand..."

Longbai has traded with the White-faced God and the Black-faced God several times. The quality of the insects is fine. They are just ordinary insects that quietly make money and concentrate on evolving and growing.

As artifact inheritance, their abilities and strengths are absolutely outstanding!

Now is the time to use insects...

Long Bai said proudly: "White-faced God, Black-faced God, help me run two more trips, and I will pay you two more first-level source points as a reward, how about that?"

The White-faced God and the Black-faced God looked at each other in surprise, somewhat dumbfounded.

The price I agreed with Bai Wei was that if I followed the fleet for 10 trips, I would be given a first-level source point...

Did Chief Longbai... misunderstand?
Is the first-level source point so worthless? Impossible~
White-Faced God: "Boss Longbai is so rich!"

Black-Faced God: "Great Chief Longbai is so generous!"

White-Faced God: "Just tell me what you need!"

Black-Faced God: "Boss Longbai, please rest assured. With the two of us here, even if someone from the Domination Realm comes to cause trouble for the fleet, we can help resolve it. Boss Longbai, you don't have to worry about the safety of the fleet at all."

Long Bai: “I believe this!”

Long Bai asked, "How many Zerg warriors did you bring with you this time?"

Hong Tao replied, "More than 12.3. Chairman Bai Wei's Shanglu World has 6, which is under great pressure and cannot be easily moved. The Immaculate Country of the White-Faced God has 6, which does not seem to have much pressure. Then there are 3000 technology warriors who are free to move around and are responsible for starship driving and maintenance work."

The White-Faced God then added: "Zero pressure. It doesn't even affect normal combat."

"it is good!"

"Great!"

Longbai asked, "Quercus, how many insects did our Xianglanshan Chamber of Commerce bring this time?"

Ma Li replied: "2 star-level warriors, 1 planet-level warriors, and 3000 newly trained technological warriors! A total of 3.3 warriors."

Rotor continued, "President Bai Wei helped negotiate and asked the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce and the Baijing Chamber of Commerce for help. We spent 30 royal cypress seeds to order divine fruits from various forces of all sizes. This batch of 3.3 warriors has basically all the basic abilities. All planetary warriors can directly evolve to the star realm as long as their abilities are trained and their strength is comprehended."

"very good!"

Long Bai asked again: "Captain Xing Shi, where is your Citibank Chamber of Commerce?"

Xing Shi replied: "5 warriors. 3 are at the star level, and 2 are at the planet level."

Longbai looked at Hongtao and asked, "That is, 8.3 warriors from Xianglan Mountain and Huaqi Mountain. 4 allies from the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce have come."

Hong Tao: "That's right. These 4 warriors have known each other for a long time since their home planet or the Qiming star system. We have always been in contact and have a close trading relationship. We have known each other for years and are all trustworthy friends."

Long Bai: "Very good! Recruit all these 4 warriors and I will help them make a fortune!"

Hong Tao: "The leaders of all tribes are in the dimensional world. Gather them together later. Chief Longbai and President Baiwei will discuss this with them."

Long Bai: "Okay——"

Hongtao looked at Xingshi.

Xing Shi: "We have a big event..."

Xing Shi looked solemn and said, "The emergence of the Amber Galaxy has caused a huge change in the entire Divine Tree civilization, and its influence has even spread to the mother planet... Chief Longbai, something big has happened. Let's go in and talk."

"A huge change in the situation? This is normal."

"What could happen to the mother planet?"

Long Bai did not ask any more questions and said, "In the past 37,000 years, our Amber Galaxy has experienced many major events. Let's go to the starship to discuss in detail."

...

Bai Wei's Shanglu world had insufficient carrying capacity, and she lay on the 'throne' specially cast in the starship hall, unable to move.

Yudou and Caolong, led by six Flame Spider warriors, Wenjing, Yunxiang, Shijiao, Jiaowu, Zijin and Huasheng, guarded the four directions.

"Elder Bai Wei, I miss you so much~"

Poison Bean cried out, rushed forward, and then cheered: "We're rich! Everyone is rich! King Longbai is the richest. He found two third-level source points and used the knowledge of the Vafa civilization to exchange for another third-level source point. Now there are three third-level source points!"

"One is in Star Region 01, officially named 'Tree Flower Constellation'. Accordingly, the name of the star region is also officially determined as 'Tree Flower Star Region'. The third-level source point obtained in exchange is officially named 'Green Willow Constellation', 'Green Willow Star Region', which is right next door..."

——3 third-level source points!
——Exchange one and find two!

——I heard that 100 million bugs came?
——Seizing two level three source points from so many insects...strength?
——What incredible luck!

——How did you find it?
——Tell me in detail quickly!

The insects were in an uproar, shouting wildly, and then all looked at Longbai with burning eyes.

There are a lot of things,

Longbai activated the ability of the tree flower's heart realm to compile information and directly write it into the soul consciousness of all insects, including the White-faced God and the Black-faced God.

Five big things:

The first thing was that luck helped them quickly find the third-level source point in Star Field 01 and arrange for Black Magic to move in in time. Over years, they successfully cultivated a large amount of first-level and second-level energy materials.

Long Bai arranged for the technological bugs to build a technological city inside the Black Law and arrange equipment to prepare for the subsequent work such as material purification, component processing and starship assembly.

The second thing is that Molan discovered the Chaos Egg in Star Region 45 and cultivated it into the innate Chaos God "Yu Chong". Yu Chong has the ability to sense the approximate location of the source and guide the search team to find the source efficiently.

Thirdly, with the help of fish and insects, as well as scientific calculations, we put in a lot of effort and successfully found the second third-level source point in star field No. 41.

Fourth, everyone avoided fierce competition and spent nearly 101 years to deploy in star fields 124, 125, and 125. The fleet is still busy in star field 1800, and plans to go to the Scarlet Light Three Star System for a long rest after finding the source point.

In total, it took more than 0.5 years, and nearly 6000 source points above magnitude were found.

The fifth item, of course, is the transaction that has just been completed, the complete set of knowledge of the Vafa civilization, in exchange for the third-level source point 'Green Willow Seat'.

...

"Boss Longbai..."

Star God Ao calls.

Long Bai said directly: "Star God Ao, I can help you reincarnate. According to the plan, build a mining star in the Lingxiao star system."

"We have communicated with President Zhao Yebai. According to the information you provided, the Amber Chamber of Commerce has reserved a sufficient amount of natural ore for us, but we need to collect and transport it ourselves."

"There are 12.3 warriors here this time. If they all work together, and with the help of the Amber Chamber of Commerce's engineering robots, I estimate that it will only take about 1500 years to complete the construction."

"I have already prepared the survival motherships needed for the project. There are three of them, capable of traveling at 150 times the speed of light. All the soldiers can just transfer to them. There is plenty of food prepared on board, so everyone can eat and rest."

"Great!"

Xing Shen'ao was slightly excited and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Boss Longbai, for your hard work!" Du Mai walked consciously to the pillar where Xing Shen'ao read the information, took out a large stack of knowledge compasses from the crystal wall space, placed them one by one, and input the information.

...

...

——So many source points!

——3 third-level source points!
——9 secondary source points!
——According to this layout, there is still a chance to obtain the fourth, fifth or even more third-level source points!

——This is no longer as simple as getting rich.

——An innate chaotic deity? What a heaven-defying innate ability!
The insects were stunned and excited. They couldn't accept it for a moment and were speechless for a long time.

The White-Faced God and the Black-Faced God also realized that it was not that the first-level source points were worthless, but that the boss Longbai had gotten lucky and became rich. If you feel it carefully, you can see that he is full of the aura of a nouveau riche.

Rotor raised his claws and asked, "My king, at this rate, if we spend another 30,000 to 50,000 years, our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce will be able to find another 10,000 source points... wouldn't that be a piece of cake?"

Long Bai said lightly: "It's very easy."

Bai Wei said enviously: "Then by this calculation, Xianglan Chamber of Commerce must be the second largest landlord in the Amber Galaxy after the Amber Chamber of Commerce!"

"That's about right."

Long Bai said, "President Bai Wei, according to the agreement, your Bai Wei Chamber of Commerce will get one-tenth of the share, which is not a small amount. You need to consider training a large number of them, or simply recruit Flame Spider Warriors directly. Next, there will be various places where insects are needed."

"understand!"

Bai Wei said depressedly: "I have already thought about this problem..."

"The spiders that can be directly recruited in the universe are either not smart enough, or they are dishonest, or they have other problems. In short, they are unreliable!"

"If we want to recruit reliable Flame Spider Warriors, the best choice is definitely the young Flame Spider Warriors who came out of the mother planet. However, the slightly better ones were intercepted by the Chamber of Commerce that contracted the protection mission as soon as they left the mother planet."

"The only reliable way left is to manage the life planet ourselves and start cultivating the little flame spiders."

"But..."

"The Baiwei Chamber of Commerce is the Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce. To upgrade the chamber of commerce, there is a hard requirement of Star Network Points. We can just recruit a group of traveling Flame Spiders to build it, or simply contract it out to other chambers of commerce..."

"It's still early, let's not think about this issue for now."

Bai Wei said, waving her paws, paused, and said enviously: "There's a big change on the mother planet! Citi Hill has become prosperous..."

Chief Xing Shi took over the topic and said, "The Citizen God Tree is here!"

"The Citizen Sacred Tree!"

Long Bai's expression froze, and he asked, "Here you are? Chief Xing Shi, do you mean..."

Xing Shi said: "The Flower Flag God Tree left its mother planet and entered the universe, rushing directly to the White Crystal Galaxy, taking root in the Phoenix Eye Star System, quickly evolving into the Star Realm, and then following the fleet, came to the Amber Galaxy together."

A young shield grasshopper warrior from Huaqi Mountain who was unfamiliar with Longbai said quietly, "It's looking for the legendary shield pillar ancestor..."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai asked: "Did the Flower Flag God Tree take the initiative to leave its home planet? Or did something unexpected happen?"

"Something happened!"

Xing Shi said in a deep voice, "The Law Tree! The True God of Nature has bestowed a Law Tree on Huaqi Mountain! It is called 'Longyuan Holy Snow', a variant of the tea tree that has undergone many mutations."

Next to Xing Shi, an unknown young shield grasshopper warrior said faintly: "My name is Sheng Xue. I planted the Law Tree. Although it was given by the True God of Nature..."

"!!!"

When Long Bai heard this, his two tentacles stood up straight, his eyes flashed, but he soon calmed down.

Long Bai asked: "Shengxue? You gave birth to a life seed?"

Shengxue: "No. It was extraordinary when it was just born and was still a seed. The Huaqi Divine Tree is knowledgeable and recognized it as the Law Divine Tree."

Xing Shi sighed, feeling deeply moved, and said, "Great Chief Longbai, I heard that it was your custom that first came down to this: eating meat with boiling water and drinking hot tea. Later, the power of Huaqi Mountain expanded southward along the mountain range, and Zilin passed on the habit of cooking meat and drinking tea to the younger generation of young warriors. The young warriors opened up large-scale high-mountain tea gardens and cultivated tea trees, which gradually formed a tribal tradition. Tea trees have become one of the core inherited tree species of Huaqi Mountain."

"Forehead……"

Long Bai shook his tentacles.

This has nothing to do with cooking meat or drinking tea.

The main reason is that the time has come, and the True God of Nature wants to release several sacred trees of laws and arrange reincarnation. Looking at the entire mother planet, Citi Mountain is undoubtedly the best choice.

The true God of nature chose Hualien Mountain and randomly picked a tree that he liked to bestow his divine gift, and he just happened to choose the tea tree.

Longbai asked, "Where is the tree?"

Shengxue: "I stayed on the mother planet, taking over the role of Huaqi Shenshu and managing the tribe."

Okay~ Long Bai asked: "What about the ability?"

On Shengxue's forehead, a transparent ice crystal, sharp-edged snowflake-shaped mark shines.

"Gives a frost-type water talent and awakens an frost-type law ability."

"My initial ability was named 'Minor Cold'. After I evolved to the Half-Star Realm, my ability was qualitatively improved and I upgraded it to 'Great Cold'."

As he spoke, he raised his paw, and a wisp of white mist spread out from the tip of his toes.

"This is Xiaohan, a tiny ice crystal. Each one contains the ultimate icy power. It is hard, sharp, and extremely stable and penetrating. It overcomes the shortcoming of the slow movement speed of 'Frost Mist' and moves very fast, and attacks quickly. It can also condense into ice and combine and change its form at will. It can be an indestructible offensive weapon or an indestructible defensive shield. A law ability can be transformed into countless applications."

As Shengxue spoke, the mist at the tip of his claws shrank, forming an elliptical transparent ice shield less than 0.1 mm thick.

The other claw knocked, making a crisp, metallic sound.

Sheng Xue said: "My 'Great Cold' further lowers the temperature of my ability to 'absolute zero'. The stability and lethality of the ice crystals are qualitatively improved."

Xing Shi said: "We entrusted Boss Sishu to take Shengxue to Red Robin Star and visited the White Crystal Divine Tree. The White Crystal Divine Tree analyzed that 'Dahan' has only reached the first level of the law ability. Further improvement should be the optimization of the ice crystal structure and the ultimate control of the size of the ice crystal monomer.

There are two optimization directions: one is to improve the stability of ice crystals; the other is to make ice crystals develop in the direction of "negative energy body".

"That's the Extreme? Water type, frost form, Extreme warrior?"

Long Bai said, analyzing: "Many insects in the shield grasshopper tribe have long been following this evolutionary path. It just fits! Moreover, it is likely that the True God of Nature also arranged it on purpose."

As Long Bai spoke, he raised his claws and struck hard at the Holy Snow Warrior's ultra-thin ice crystal round shield. He then tried to use his water control ability to take over control and feel that this thing had a very high density and was extremely strong.

The mental power was exerted to the limit, scanning and observing. The ultra-thin ice shield was even composed of countless tiny prismatic ice crystals arranged neatly and closely.

Longbai asked, "Can I give you some advice?"

Sheng Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course!"

Long Bai said briefly: "Combined with earth, metal, or air talents, consider jumping out of the water category and upgrading from ice crystals to 'extremely cold material crystals'."

Xing Shi and Sheng Xue were both stunned, seeming to be thinking about something.

Bai Wei said: "The question now is, is there any way to notify the little bugs below and let them send the tree out?"

Long Bai said lightly: "Baiwei Chamber of Commerce has been promoted to Level 7 Chamber of Commerce and will undertake the next Mother Star Guardian mission. We will see the situation and find a solution."

Everyone has thought of this method before...

"good idea."

"It seems that this is the only way."

"The Level 7 Chamber of Commerce is already here."

"..."

The insects sparsely echoed.

Bai Wei continued, "Captain Longbai, there is another explosive news. The mother planet no longer has the cycle of dormancy and revival of the Force. The eight continents separated by the divine barrier have all entered a prosperous period of the peak of the Force."

"Moreover, the conditions for leaving the mother planet have also been relaxed. You only need to condense three divine patterns to evolve into a 3th-age insect king and sense the call of the True God of Nature."

"We have obtained reliable information from the Ghost Locust Warrior Shi Xia, saying that the three major chambers of commerce, Liming, Lizhu, and Baijing, have 'voluntarily' donated 7 million Chaos Stones. The other Level 8 and Level 5000 chambers of commerce have also donated at least million Chaos Stones together."

"This is not account funds, it's all inventory. We have collected 3.5 million Chaos Orbs and transported them back to the mother planet. It is said that they are used to assist the True God of Nature and quickly restore divine power. Divine power changes the laws of the star realm, protects the creatures of the star realm, and promotes the birth of more Zerg warriors and God-given seeds, as well as divine-grade God-given seeds, and even law-giving trees."

"The two Level 10 Chambers of Commerce, Liming and Lizhu, have also organized a special transport fleet, which is transporting billions of tons of raw crystals to the mother planet."

“It can be predicted that in the next 3.6 years or 5.4 years, a large number of outstanding warriors will walk out of the mother planet with God-given seeds and God-grade God-given seeds.”

Longbai pondered for a moment and tapped his tentacles lightly.

Such a big move must be the oracle of the True God of Nature.

The intention of the True God of Nature is not difficult to understand: first, a large number of warriors have entered the Amber Galaxy for development, and a huge Zerg population gap has appeared in the three major galaxies, which needs to be filled in time; second, the Amber Galaxy has begun to develop, and a large number of young warriors will inevitably be born, and there will inevitably be a problem of insufficient supply of divine fruits. The number of divine seeds bestowed by God must be increased urgently to ensure the quality of Zerg warriors from an overall level.

Long Bai asked: "Are there any other changes?"

Xing Shi: "The incident is over."

Ma Li said: "Captain Longbai, Zhanlan has successfully transformed and advanced to the Brilliant Realm, and has also come along."

"Oh!"

"It seems that the Crystal of Void is of great help to Azure!"

Longbai was surprised, his eyes lit up, and asked, "What about other Force plants?"

Quercus acutissima: "We asked seriously. The Great King Cypress, whose evolution speed is second only to the Azure, said that it is not in a hurry. According to convention, after being promoted to the Brilliance Realm, it can only produce fruits at the Su Realm level, and the flowering and fruiting cycle is extended to 333 years. The current situation does not allow it to break through."

Longbai praised: "The Great King Bai has always made the insects feel at ease!"

Rotor continued to report: "Next are the three divine items, King Molan, Yexiang, and Wuyi. When they left, they all said that they were still a little short of the mark, and that they would be able to break through in about 5 to 10 years."

"Oh--"

"That's still early."

Longbai waved his claws and said, "We'll discuss this later. If we want to move, we can just move all the life plants at the Star Realm and above here together, and arrange for them to take root on Xianglan Star first."

Bai Wei asked, "Captain Longbai, three level three source points! How do you arrange them? How do you plan to build them?"

Longbai: "Before the Black Law recovered its power system and energy system, it was stationed at the source of the Tree Flower Constellation..." (End of this chapter)
