Natural God's Gift
#2 - Encountering a divine gift on the road?
Several Mountain Lord level Ember Spiders stayed with the Clover God-Given Seed and Four Leaf for a few days. After getting along for these days, Four Leaf also learned the names of the spiders in this caravan. There were three spiders in total in this caravan. The leader of the caravan was called Ziyun, the more outgoing one was called Torch, and the one who didn't talk much was called Greenland.
Ziyun was a steady and experienced elder. It could see that Four Leaf had the potential to become a Proto-Spider Warrior, so it patiently taught it some knowledge, including knowledge about the God-Given Seed that it had not yet awakened.
Torch was outgoing, but had no bad intentions. Sometimes it would tease it, and also fertilize the clover, and even use primal stones to replenish primal power to the clover fruit.
Greenland didn't like to talk, and always worked silently. Every day it would hunt for food and distribute it to Ziyun and Torch, as well as the little Proto-Spiders.
With a sufficient supply of food, and in a stable environment, Four Leaf underwent another molting evolution.
After everyone waited for ten days or so, the speed at which the clover absorbed natural primal power suddenly accelerated.
"Four Leaf, your fruit is about to ripen!" Torch cheered happily, it was bored to death staying here, and they could leave when the fruit ripened.
"Oh." For some reason, Four Leaf had been feeling a little sleepy these past few days.
"Torch," Ziyun criticized sternly, "Be steady and don't shout. Haven't you noticed that Four Leaf is about to evolve into a Proto-Spider Warrior?
Quickly replenish primal power to the Clover God-Given Seed, so that it can be incorporated into the life sac as a life seed when Four Leaf awakens."
The probability of ordinary insectoids evolving into Primal Power Warriors is as low as the probability of God-Given Seeds appearing among plants. Every Primal Power Warrior is an extremely rare existence. Each time they evolve to a new age, they can nurture a plant in their life sac as a life seed.
"Ah? Is Four Leaf about to break through and become a little warrior? Doesn't that mean it will soon have a God-Given Seed as a life seed?
What a lucky little fellow!" Torch muttered, taking out primal stones and scraping off powder to replenish primal power to the clover fruit.
"It is very lucky," Ziyun said with emotion, "Legend has it that Four Leaf's clover is also called a lucky clover. Perhaps Four Leaf's luck is also due to this God-Given Seed."
Four Leaf could no longer hear what Ziyun and the others were saying, it just felt dizzy, and then it lay down under the clover with the God-Given Seed and fell into a daze.
It didn't know how long had passed, but it was suddenly awakened by a strong surge of primal power.
It struggled to shed its old shell, looked around, felt a hunger in its belly, and slowly crawled out from under the clover.
When Torch saw it come out, it exclaimed in surprise: "Four Leaf has successfully evolved!"
Ziyun also saw Four Leaf, and directed Greenland: "Quick, it must be very hungry, find it something to eat."
"Oh, okay." Greenland casually grabbed a chattering cicada, cut off its head and threw it in front of Four Leaf. Four Leaf was now only the size of a bottle cap, just enough to lie on the cicada and eat. It quickly finished eating the cicada, and it was almost full.
Ziyun lightly tapped the ground: "How is it? Can you release mental power now?"
"Yes," Four Leaf responded with difficulty, urging its mental power, but as a Rank 1 little warrior, its mental power was limited to this.
"Have you received the inherited memories?"
Four Leaf tapped the ground lightly with its spider leg: "I have."
It was slowly browsing the inherited memories that had appeared in its mind, especially those related to the God-Given Seed, reading them in detail and deeply understanding the value of the God-Given Seed.
"The Clover God-Given Seed has just matured, you should incorporate it into your life sac. It's getting late, we should also return to the ancestral land. You can slowly nurture it on my carapace."
It had to be said that Four Leaf had a good grasp of timing.
"Okay." Four Leaf sorted out the relationship between the Ember Spiders and the Proto-Spiders in the inherited memories, and no longer had any doubts about them at this moment.
It walked to the clover, picked the Clover God-Given Seed and incorporated it into its life sac.
When insectoids incorporate seeds into their life sacs for nurturing, a soul bond will be formed. After the nurturing is complete and the seed is planted, the two will be in a symbiotic relationship. If one side is injured, the other side will also suffer soul damage.
Torch joked: "Lucky little fellow, it's a good thing we came early, otherwise your God-Given Seed might not have been able to mature."
The clover's maturation consumed some primal stones. If these primal stones hadn't replenished primal power, who knows if it would have died. In fact, many God-Given Seeds in nature cannot grow smoothly due to this or that reason.
Four Leaf said politely: "Thank you Ziyun, thank you Torch, thank you Greenland."
"You're welcome, these primal stones are nothing to us. Torch was just joking with you. We've been delayed here for a bit too long, we need to hurry back to the Ember Spider Kingdom."
Torch tapped the ground repeatedly, notifying the little Proto-Spiders on its back: "We're leaving, everyone hold on tight."
Mountain Lord level Ember Spiders are very fast. When they run, their eight limbs dance wildly like the steps of a demon. They can travel a hundred and eighty miles along the trade route in one night. But that's normal, if they didn't have this speed, how could they cross the continent to trade everywhere?
"Wait..." After running continuously for eight days, one night, as the three spiders were sprinting at full speed, Four Leaf, who was silently nurturing the life seed on Ziyun's head, suddenly called out to it.
"Four Leaf, what's wrong?" Ziyun stopped, and behind it, Torch and Greenland also hurriedly braked.
Four Leaf said with a strange expression: "I had a familiar feeling about the place we just passed."
"A familiar feeling? What kind of feeling is that?" The spiders were full of confusion and didn't understand what it meant.
"It's just, it's just..." In its anxiety, Four Leaf didn't know how to describe it.
"Let's go, back!" Seeing Fourleaf's bewildered look, Ziyun decisively ordered a return.
"What is it? Going back again?" Torch grumbled.
"Stop complaining," Ziyun tapped it with its chelicerae, "There's no harm in going back to take a look."
The three spiders slowed their pace and leisurely headed back.
"Is it here?"
"Or is it here?"
Torch would nag every few hundred meters they walked back, until Ziyun couldn't take it anymore and knocked its head a few times with its chelicerae, finally silencing it.
"We're here, it should be around this area." In fact, Fourleaf's feeling was very faint, only lasting for a moment. It didn't know if it was just an illusion from resting on Ziyun's head.
Ziyun ordered, "Torch, Green Field, search around and see if there's anything special."
"What exactly are we feeling for? What should we be looking for?" Torch was puzzled.
"It feels like a God-given Seed," Fourleaf said uncertainly, then hurriedly explained, "But it might be because Ziyun has too many Primal Force foods on its back, and I'm hallucinating."
"God-given Seed?" The three Flame Spider warriors completely ignored its later words and began searching earnestly in the forest. A God-given Seed could be considered the foundation of a tribe, and the value of one was immeasurable. Finding another God-given Seed would be a huge windfall.
The forest was filled with various trees, including tall trees, low shrubs, and vines that wrapped around the branches. These trees had different shapes, some with lush foliage, some standing tall like pines, and some graceful and charming. Together, they formed a complex ecosystem, interdependent and growing together.
The forest was filled with fresh air and a faint earthy smell, making the insects feel refreshed. Here, time seemed to stand still, with only the cicada's chirping and the murmuring of streams breaking the silence. Occasionally, a breeze would blow, and the leaves would fall gently, like a golden rain.
Wandering and searching in this forest felt like being in a mysterious world. Sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light on the ground, making the insects feel warm and comfortable.
Seeing the three spiders so earnest, Fourleaf couldn't stay put any longer. It climbed down Ziyun's carapace and searched carefully, carefully sensing the throbbing it had felt just now. It had grown up under the God-given Flower since it was little, and it was very familiar with that feeling. It was a completely different feeling from the Primal Force foods that Ziyun and the others took out.
"Found it." Just then, Green Field spread its mental energy and called out to the spiders.
"Where? Where?" Torch hurriedly ran in the direction of Green Field, and Ziyun wasn't slow either, surpassing Torch in a flash. Only Fourleaf was left behind, hurrying to catch up but still far away.
"Is it really a God-given Seed? What kind of God-given Seed is it?" Ziyun and Green Field squatted on the ground, examining it. Torch busily pushed Green Field aside to see if there really was a God-given Seed.
"It's a morning glory." Morning glories were the most common weeds on the continent. Because of their large numbers, the probability of a God-given Seed being born was also high, making their value about the same as a clover. Among the many tribes on the entire continent, there were no less than eighty to one hundred of these lilac morning glory God-given Seeds. Their effect was also the most ordinary wood-based comprehensive enhancement. Plus, the seeds were small and the yield was low. To put it nicely, it was still a God-given Seed. To put it bluntly, the benefits at the King-level, same rank, might not even be as good as a top-tier ordinary Primal Force tree.
Torch looked at Fourleaf, who was panting as it ran over, and muttered, "Both God-given Seeds that Fourleaf found are the lowest grade. Is this good luck or bad luck?"
"Of course, it's good luck." Ziyun stretched out a leg to let Fourleaf climb back onto its back, "I once heard the Spider King say that some insect warriors are born with a keen sense for God-given Seeds. Perhaps Fourleaf is such an insect."
"Really?" Torch was skeptical, but the facts were right in front of him, and he had to acknowledge it.
"Green Field, pluck the morning glory God-given Seed and put it in a silk pouch." The morning glory God-given Seed was fully mature and could be plucked directly.
Afraid that Fourleaf would misunderstand, Ziyun emphasized, "Fourleaf discovered the morning glory. Fourleaf is a Primal Spider warrior, and each age can nurture a Life Seed. The morning glory God-given Seed can be used to nurture a Life Seed when it's a Level Two Primary Small Warrior."
"The natural gods are favoring it." Now even Green Field, who was usually silent, envied Fourleaf. Which small warrior would have two God-given Seeds as Life Seeds when they just became a Primal Force warrior?
Not to mention small warriors, some Lord-level insect warriors only had one God-given Seed in their entire lives. Only after reaching the Insect King level could they perhaps rely on their long lifespan to obtain two or three God-given Seeds. Fourleaf's starting point was the end point of other insects' entire lives.
Fourleaf thought that Green Field had found this God-given Seed and that they would hand it over to the tribe. It didn't expect that they would leave it for itself. It raised its forelegs and shouted excitedly, "Thank you, Mountain Lord Ziyun! Thank you, Mountain Lord Green Field!"
Torch pretended to be displeased, "Did you just leave me out?"
Fourleaf turned obediently on Ziyun's head, "Mountain Lord Torch has worked hard."
"Alright, we're not far from the kingdom. Let's continue forward." The three spiders set off again in the direction of the kingdom, but this time they subconsciously slowed down a little. It was unclear whether they were hoping that Fourleaf would find another God-given Seed.
