Astral Ants

The Tabor and Silver Shark No. 10 energy ship arrived by warp, approaching at sublight speed.
The mantis warrior on lookout at the Seven-Colored Divine Tree Interstellar Fortress immediately noticed it and returned to the cabin to notify.

"Captain Longbai? Chief Molan? You... aren't here to rescue? What's going on? Don't tell me that God King Chi didn't run away."

"Ran."

Molan answered and narrated: "Three galaxies were discovered. The God King Chi destroyed all the source points in the galaxies before escaping. After more than two million years, new source points have emerged, but their locations have changed. We plan to organize forces and redevelop them."

Shi Se understood immediately and said, "You are short of labor!"

"wrong!"

Molan corrected, "Coolie!"

Shi Se said angrily: "The Seven-Colored Flower Mantis is naturally delicate and cannot do hard labor."

Molan asked, "Then you will continue to be stranded here?"

"..."

Shi Se lost his temper immediately and muttered: "The star system construction project is also considered a technical project. Let's change it to a more pleasant name. We are all engineers~"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Molan asked, "Are the ten law fruits I mentioned last time ready?"

Shise didn't want to talk. The space in front of him shook slightly, and ten metal boxes appeared and fell directly in front of Molan.

Mo Lan waved her tentacles lightly and picked up one, with the white side facing up. She injected a wisp of the Force into it, and a white light shone. A spherical, oblong nut with a sharp end and a blunt end, with a brown-red wooden shell, was teleported out.

The 'original divine power' that is a mixture of the seven elements is highly restrained.

Molan opened her mouth and sucked, swallowing the whole pill into her stomach. She tilted her head to sense it for a long time, and said, "Not bad, not bad, it can still be of some use to me... but it's too late."

Molan waved her claws, and a metal box flew out, floating towards Longbai. She collected the rest herself.

Long Bai took it, briefly examined it, and put it away, then formally said, "Now we can seriously discuss the cost of the rescue. Let's go and see the Seven-Colored Sacred Tree."

...

After the meet and greet,
Molan spoke quickly, briefly describing the situation.
Finally, he said seriously:
"Based on my knowledge of science and technology, the damage to the Seven-Colored Divine Tree Interstellar Fortress is not serious, and it is not difficult to repair. The difficulty is that the reconnaissance equipment is a high-precision instrument, which requires professional engineers and a systematic and highly developed scientific and technological industry to manufacture it."

"Our fleet already carries a batch of Level 14 energy materials. We have also collected another batch of Level energy materials from the gas planets in the Baibo star system. This is enough material to repair the Seven-Colored Divine Tree Interstellar Fortress."

"There are exactly 3,000 Austenite engineers in the Silver Shark Expeditionary Corps, in addition to 10,000 Tech Bugs and Tech Ants cultivated by Longbai. We will cultivate the first and second level energy materials in the newly built Baibo star system and build a technological city. In another 200,000 years, we will have the ability to repair the Seven-Colored Divine Tree Star Fortress."

"We traveled 1.8 billion light years to come to the rescue, and spent so much effort. The fee must be expensive..."

Molan paused, and said, "The specific offer is: First, the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce soldiers need to work for us and obey my command until the three major star systems are reclaimed; second, the Seven Colors Divine Tree needs to produce 30 star-level seven-color maple fruits for us; third, we need to organize forces to track and search for the Divine King Chi, find it, and destroy it. The Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce needs to send soldiers to cooperate with us in the battle."

Molan: "Of course, we will also give you some care and treatment. For example, the Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce can obtain three star fields in the Wangbai Star System. We can teach you more advanced, demigod-level scientific knowledge, and you can also operate mining stars and accumulate new energy materials. In the future, our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce can help build a fleet of star destroyers with a speed of 2000 times the speed of light, or an interstellar fortress..."

"Oh--"

Shi Se's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I want an interstellar fortress!"

Seven Colors: “…”

Qi Se asked, "30 Seven-Colored Maple Fruits of the Star Realm? You are at least at the peak of the Su Realm, so are the Law Fruits still useful?"

Long Bai said: "Train young warriors on a large scale to prepare for the next search and war."

Qi Se asked: "Where was it cultivated?"

Molan answered quickly, "Of course it's the Amber Galaxy. That's the headquarters of our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce. We have 5 third-level source points, 31 second-level source points, 350 first-level source points, and more than zero-level source points. We have too many to use. We have kept for ourselves, and the rest can only be entrusted to the Chamber of Commerce for slow development and operation."

"..."

The seven colors and the ten colors choked.

So special and rich~
Damn the landlords!

Long Bai continued, "We have built a treasure planet for the Chamber of Commerce's top executives to live in and for the Chamber of Commerce's Force plants to take root. It's called 'Xianglan Main Planet' and has a Force concentration of 3.72."

"Our law tree is called the Great King Cypress. In addition, we have five divine seeds of divine quality and many divine seeds of the master realm, all of which are rooted in the Xianglan main star... When we left, the number of wild divine seeds in the Chamber of Commerce had exceeded 50. Now it should have reached one million, meeting the requirements of a Level 7 Chamber of Commerce."

Mo Lan said: "What we mean is that the Seven-Colored Divine Tree should go to the Xianglan Main Star to take root. In this way, the fruits of the laws produced can be arranged for the appropriate little warriors nearby to use as soon as possible."

"I see you still have three divine seeds, and one of them is a very powerful longevity seed..."

A group of trees listened attentively, and burst into laughter when they heard the words.

"Have!"

"I! I! I! My name is Hawkmoth! I am a divine product that prolongs life!"

"I am a divine product!"

"And me... do you want the ordinary God-given seed? I'm in the master realm~"

"Are you worried about these mantises?"

"Planning to capture a batch of trees to make wood samples?"

"Catch me. I have the best relationship with the Ten-Colored Mantis."

"And me, I am the God-given seed of the Ten-Colored Mantis, take me away quickly!"

"I am also a life seed, catch me quickly."

"I don't want to live in fear anymore..."

"..."

Ten colors: “???”

"You bastards..."

Shi Se was furious and roared, "I don't agree!"

"Mantis! You better understand the situation first."

"Now we are being taken away to be used as tree material."

"Their meaning is very clear. If you mantises dare to cause trouble, they will kill our tree." "We are the ones who will be hurt."

"What right do you have to say no?"

"Just stay and work hard."

"It's better to find the God King Chi and kill him. Bastard! He almost killed us."

"..."

The trees all rose up to refute.

"Bad trees! All of them are cheap trees!"

"This is extortion! This is kidnapping!"

Ten Colors was angry and asked, "Seven Colors, what do you say?"

Seven Colors: "A war is about to start, and we Force plants are not suitable to follow. I will bear the grievance for a while and become a tree material. I will find a stable and rich planet to take root, and by the way, I will train a new batch of flower mantis warriors to see if I can produce a few smart mantises. The Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce needs smart bugs to lead it."

Ten colors: “…”

Ten Colors said sadly and frustratedly, "Seven Colors, are you going to betray me too?"

Qi Se: "This is not betrayal, this is called retreat in order to advance, or it can be said to be a desperate attempt to survive."

Qi Se changed the subject and asked, "Captain Long Bai, Captain Mo Lan, have you tracked down the whereabouts of the Divine King Chi?"

Mo Lan: "No."

Seven Colors: "The universe is so big. Once you run away, it won't be easy to find it again."

Molan: "We plan to join forces with the Amber Chamber of Commerce and the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce to search together."

"I'm afraid this will only cause more trouble, right? Moreover, how much profit do you need to give up for this cooperation?"

Qi Se was even more confused and asked, "Do you have a grudge against the Divine King Chi? Just for his Soul Law Divine Stone?"

"Yes."

Long Bai explained vaguely: "I have a feeling that the opportunity for me to evolve into a true god lies in the Soul Law Divine Stone of Divine King Chi."

"Oh--"

Seven colors of meditation.

His eyes turned, and he asked solemnly, doubtfully, and with difficulty: "You fat ant, are you sure you can evolve into a true god? You are even more arrogant than me! The Lord of Samsara and the Lord of Dragon Bamboo don't dare to say that, right?"

"It's not a question of whether or not to be crazy..."

Long Bai shook his tentacles and explained: "I am following the path of world divine power, focusing on bionics, creation, and creation of the world. I really need the soul-related creation ability..."

As he spoke, a passage opened in the reincarnation world, which was then closed after a simple display.

Long Bai: "I also have Shanglu space. The star domain domination stage was transformed into the 'Mountain and Sea Realm', and the starry sky domination stage was upgraded to the 'Reincarnation World'. According to my conception, the universe domination stage evolved into the 'Universe World'."

"The White-Faced God you have seen inherited an ancient artifact called the 'Unsullied Kingdom' from the True God of Nature. I imitated it, and in the future I will also use the 'Universe World' as a support to impact the True God position."

Ten colors: “!!!”

Long Bai: "At present, my reincarnation world has a super resurrection ability. I will incorporate the life information of the warriors of your Seven Colors Chamber of Commerce into the world. As long as I am not dead, you will never die."

Long Bai asked: "Where are your life seeds? Most of them are still stored in the life capsule, right?"

Ten colors dot the tentacles.

Longbai: "It's not a solution to keep doing this. Each of you can leave at most three life seeds to take root in the Baibo star system and quickly revive them. Or just leave them all to me and take root in Xianglan Main Star. You can send a team of soldiers to go with you, and the output and profits will still belong to you."

Molan said: "Let's cooperate and fight against God King Chi together. Once God King Chi is eliminated, the cooperation will end and the Force Plant will be returned to you. All insects that cooperate with me will make a fortune, and you are no exception. I will also share a share of the war profits with you."

Shi Se nodded his tentacles heavily as a sign of reluctant agreement.

Longbai: "Well, take root and regenerate the Force plants, quickly gather the tree heart. Ten-Colored Mantis King, go gather the soldiers of the Chamber of Commerce, and give me all the tree hearts..."

...

More than half a million tree hearts.

There are also crystal beads refined and condensed from the trunks of many dominant force plants, led by the Seven-Colored Divine Tree.

The reason why Long Bai brought the Silver Shark No. 9 all-purpose ship was to transport goods.

After packing up quickly, Long Bai set off first and returned along the central axis supply point of the True Seven Dolphins Line.

During the starship's voyage, he took out the seven-color maple fruit and used it to easily absorb the divine power, condensing it into a colorful circular "trace" on the soul, guarding the outer circle of the core ability.

I have been silently feeling and comprehending for a long time, and I have various regrets.

The world's divine power is all-encompassing, and the power of this seven-colored sacred tree is quite suitable. Unfortunately, as Molan said, it's too late.

In the Constellation Realm, after the traces are united, using divine fruits or law fruits to gain abilities can no longer be combined to add core abilities.

"When I have time in the future, I can seriously comprehend it and sublimate it into the 'Original Divine Pattern', which may help accelerate the expansion of the 'Universe World'..."

Long Bai pondered, collected his thoughts, and lay dormant in meditation.

...

at the same time,

As agreed, Zisha led the fleet and arrived at the 'Seven-Colored Divine Tree Star Fortress' a step later, and first took the Mantis Warriors of the Seven-Colored Chamber of Commerce to the Wangbai Galaxy.

Under the command of Molan, after some arrangements, he organized a team to start the source search and development project.

PS: I will update less today as I am thinking about how to write the subsequent plot.

I plan to finish the book by the end of December, so that I can enjoy the full attendance in 2024, but the remaining content does not seem to support writing another chapters~
After careful calculation, I found that I couldn't even fill the tank with water.

Add some other content. (End of this chapter)
