Natural God's Gift

Lord Ziyun Mountain dove into the water to capture that faint trace of life force, wanting to investigate the secret of why this lake could give birth to so many God-given Seeds. To do that, it had to first find the source of this unusual life force.

It originally thought that in this small lake, it would be easy to find the source of this life force.

But after it went into the water, it discovered that the lake water throughout the entire lake contained this special life force.

When it released its mental power, it felt that its mental power was being suppressed very strongly in the water. On the surface, its mental power could extend four kilometers, but underwater in this area, its mental power was directly compressed a thousand times, restricted to a range of only four meters.

Faced with this situation, Lord Ziyun Mountain was not surprised but delighted. The more unusual this lake was, the more special it was.

If it were just an ordinary lake, there would be tens of thousands of them in the Primordial Star Realm, and there would be no need to explore it at all.

Although the effect of mental power was not very obvious, Ziyun was not a mindless fool. It knew that according to convention, many precious treasures were either at the top of the highest mountain or at the very center of the lakebed.

It went to the center of the lake as quickly as possible. Perhaps because its size was too large, it caused quite a stir. The fish that were originally dormant at the bottom of the lake were startled, and a large group of fish swayed their bodies to escape, causing all the silt at the bottom of the lake to churn up, making the entire lakebed turbid.

Lord Ziyun Mountain activated its earth-based ability, wanting to control the soil, but because of the obstruction of the water flow, its earth-based ability could not exert much effect in the water.

“Damn it,” Lord Ziyun Mountain couldn't help but curse inwardly. This was the disadvantage of fighting on enemy territory. In a special environment, a single-attribute talent could not even use one-tenth of its usual power.

Now, not only was its mental power restricted, but its vision was also impaired, making it more than ten times harder to search the lakebed.

“I should have called Torch down,” Torch possessed the ability to solidify earth and stone, and it could directly solidify the silt at the bottom of the lake, making the search much easier.

Lord Ziyun Mountain was not without a solution to this situation, but it wanted to conserve its primal energy and use its power at critical moments.

It estimated the position and distance, calculated its steps in the turbid muddy water, and walked to the center of the lake. Feeling a richer life force than in the periphery, it knew that its guess was correct. The treasure releasing these life forces should be in this area.

If the Flower Mosquito Tribe encountered such a lake, they might be amazed by the lake's uniqueness and protect it with smug satisfaction.

But Lord Ziyun Mountain, born in the Flame Spider Kingdom, had begun to have doubts in its heart when the little spiders fished out the second God-given Seed.

It knew that a unique environment like this must have a source that changed to appear. It could even guess, based on its years of accumulated experience and learning, that the source of the life force released in this lake was likely a creation of an extraterrestrial civilization.

This was not because it was smarter than the Flower Mosquito warriors, but because it had seen too many similar items.

The Flame Spider Kingdom was able to migrate from a continent with depleted primal energy to another continent with reviving primal energy to escape the period of primal energy depletion. And during each primal energy revival period, extraterrestrial starships would fall into the Primordial Star Realm. Each time, the Flame Spider merchants would be able to find some creations of extraterrestrial civilizations from the starships.

Some of these creations of extraterrestrial civilizations were useful, some were useless, some could allow plants to store primal energy, some could allow plants to unleash attacks, some could allow insectoid warriors to increase their combat power with nano-armor, and some could promote the growth of insectoid warriors with life essence. It had seen all kinds of creations of extraterrestrial civilizations, no matter what their purpose.

As far as it knew, there were at least three creations of extraterrestrial civilizations in the kingdom that had similar effects, but those three creations of extraterrestrial civilizations could only produce life essence. Long-term irrigation of life seeds with life essence could increase the yield of life seeds by half. It had never heard of anything that could increase the probability of the birth of God-given Seeds.

If this could be used on large arbors, how many more God-given Seeds would the kingdom gain?

The silt at the bottom of the lake was very deep. Lord Ziyun Mountain stood in place and directly buried most of its body, but this was a better state for it than being completely in the water. With half of its body in the soil, it could at least exert sixty to seventy percent of its power.

Lord Ziyun Mountain's eight spider legs sank into the soil, and the primal energy in its body surged with all its might. The power was transmitted to the tips of its claws, and it unleashed the skill it had comprehended at the four-year-old Mountain Lord level: “Earth Net!”

It saw primal energy erupting from its claws, and with its eight feet as the center, a layer of primal energy emitting a faint yellow light spread out in a net-like pattern, until it covered most of the lakebed, and then slowly seeped down into the deeper silt.

Lord Ziyun Mountain carefully sensed the things in the silt at the bottom of the lake. It needed to filter out some useless things. There were really many more miscellaneous things at the bottom of the lake than on the ground: rotten wood, fish bones, loaches, eels, and also snakehead fish, turtles, all sorts of things.

“Found it!” After Lord Ziyun Mountain carefully eliminated the possibilities, it finally locked onto a polygonal metal box more than twenty meters away. The box was tilted on the ground, and the box was slightly open, with a rich aura of life flowing out of that opening.

The skill dissipated. It ran against the water resistance, picked up the polygonal metal box, closed it, and after confirming that nothing was missed, quickly climbed back to the shore from the bottom of the lake.

“How is it? Ziyun,” As soon as Lord Ziyun Mountain came ashore, Lord Torch Mountain couldn't wait to come forward and ask.

Ziyun held the metal box with both claws: “This is not a place to chat. How much time has passed?”

Lord Torch Mountain: “About an hour.”

“Then we should leave.” Lord Ziyun Mountain put the metal box into a silk bag and placed it on its carapace: “The Mosquito Tribe also comes out to hunt at night. This place is not very far from their territory. It would be troublesome if they found anything. Although we are not afraid of them, we should not create unnecessary trouble.”

“Okay,” Lord Torch Mountain also beckoned the little spiders onto its carapace. It rarely saw Ziyun so anxious. After years of tacit cooperation, it knew that Ziyun must have found something incredible!

The little spiders put the four duckweed God-given Seeds on the stone plate into silk bags and climbed onto Lord Torch Mountain's carapace.

They asked: “Lord Torch Mountain, what about the God-given duckweed?”

Lord Torch Mountain looked at Lord Ziyun Mountain: “We found a duckweed God-given Seed that has already sprouted. What should we do? Take it?”

Lord Ziyun Mountain blinked. It was early spring, so it was not strange for duckweed to sprout and grow. It was also natural for God-given Seeds to sprout.

“Take it with us first, and we'll talk about it after we leave this area.” The frugal nature of the merchant would not let it miss any bit of profit.

“Okay.” Lord Torch Mountain put the stone jar containing the God-given duckweed on its head and had the little spiders hold it, while it followed Lord Ziyun Mountain and quickly left the lake.
