Astral Ant Tribe

Long Bai didn't want the news that the god-level Shining Gold and Azure God-given seeds had evolved beyond the Mark Realm to spread.

However, for such a big tree to stand openly next to the scepter of the God of the Ocean for so many years, it must be impossible to hide it.

At least the top management of the United Kingdom of Bo Shuwan could not fool them.

The scepter was opened, and leaders and deputy leaders such as the Gemu Butterfly King, the Leaf Ant King, the Semu Ant King, the Long-winged Queen Bee, and the Five-line Queen Bee were invited to come and watch.

Long Bai leads the assistant kings of juniper, emerald cypress, silver cypress, black birch, black cypress, rainbow ying and rainbow apricot.

Mo Lan leads the white willow, green maple, red maple, white maple, and red maple insects...

Witness a miraculous moment.

In the Rainbow Island Kingdom, all the insects that can come have arrived.

They gathered at the top of the city and stared straight down.

…

The scorching sun in midsummer.

Calm and calm water.

The energy field of the Azure God-given Seed overlaps with the energy field of the Ocean God's Scepter.

The original energy of the blue water system is like a torrent opening a floodgate, rushing into the lake, sinking into the ground, and being absorbed by the azure roots.

Suppressed by god-level glittering gold, the azure original aura is always maintained at the king-level level.

From time to time, another wisp of aura far beyond the king level bursts out, causing ripples in the scepter's original ability field.

The insects in the city watched for a whole day and night, but they didn't understand the specific situation.

It feels like the azure god-given seed is like a bottomless pit, swallowing up the original energy infinitely.

"Azure blue, are the rough stones enough?"

Long Bai asked.

"have no idea--"

Zhan Lan thought about it and said: "I am using the power of the scepter of the God of the Ocean to speed up my enlightenment. I feel that I am almost successful."

Zhan Lan paused for a while and added: "The union of nine marks and the condensation of star marks was originally a difficult and long process. Now, the original energy of the scepter of the God of the Ocean is helping me to quickly go through this process."

Long Bai asked: "Not sure how much raw energy needs to be consumed?"

"uncertain."

"Maybe not enough?"

"have no idea."

I don’t know if I ask three questions~

Long Bai gave the order decisively, and Hong Ying and Hong Xing commanded the ant colony to invest all the remaining 200 million rough stones in stock.

It lasted for another two days and two nights.

The original energy equivalent to 4 billion raw stones is exhausted, and the scepter automatically closes.

The azure god-given seed suddenly erupted with intense original energy fluctuations that surpassed the king level.

This fluctuation immediately triggers the laws of nature.

The next moment, the azure aura suddenly restrained.

Without the target, the majestic and irresistible power of nature disappears.

Just stopped,

The azure god-given seed burst out with violent suction, absorbing the natural force crazily, instantly forming a force vacuum with a radius of 100 meters.

In the daytime sky, a little white light flashes violently.

The laws of nature were triggered again. In the sky and on the earth, in all directions, infinite divine power was generated out of thin air, rolling in like a landslide and a tsunami...

suddenly,

The azure god-given seed stopped absorbing force, and the whole tree lost its breath.

The natural divine power once again lost its target, then collapsed and disappeared.

"..."

"Zhan Lan? What are you..."

"Operation error."

"Forehead--"

"Long Bai, I'm going to break through!"

"good--"

"Zhanlan, you don't need raw stones to replenish your original power, right?"

"No need...you can't absorb the force from nature...it will be exposed..."

Azure's mental thoughts gradually blurred and fell into a deep sleep.

…

Break through the Nine Marks Realm and evolve into the Star Marks Realm.

This must be a long process.

Long Bai gave direct orders, and Jun Bai and his party led the army back to Blue Island.

Mo Lan and other insects followed for four or five days, and when they saw that there was no movement, they left and returned to Hong Island.

The insects from the United Kingdom of Boshuwan watched for more than ten days, and lost their patience, so they left one after another.

…

Month after month.

All summer long.

In late autumn, when the weather turned cooler, one day suddenly, Long Bai was practicing his abilities outside the city. A blue energy field passed through the city wall, and his spiritual power came to him:

"Long Bai, I'm in the Star Mark Realm."

"good!"

Long Bai's figure flashed and he teleported to the tree given by the azure god.

"Nine marks merged into one? Combined into one star mark?"

"Yes, Xinghen!"

"Then what? If you continue to grow and evolve, how should you develop? Condensate more star marks? Or condense the 'marks' first, and then combine the nine marks into one to combine more star marks."

"The Star Mark Realm has two development directions. One is to develop the 'width' of the original energy attributes horizontally; the second is to develop the 'depth' of the original energy attributes."

Zhanlan explained: "The power of the water element is vast and unfathomable. I currently only master a very narrow part of the water life form. For the growth and evolution of the mark realm, I can use the existing 'star mark' as the center. Expanding the domain of water-based original energy and understanding and mastering more types of water-based power is to expand the 'width'."

"You can also further understand and comprehend the original power of the water system that you have currently mastered, and continuously consolidate and strengthen the existing 'star marks', which is to pursue the 'depth' of perception."

"The growth of the Star Mark Realm is like digging a reservoir with a fixed capacity. You can dig the reservoir wider or deeper, or you can compromise and choose the appropriate width and depth. In short, once the total volume is reached, you can make a breakthrough."

"but……"

Zhan Lan paused and said: "I have a vague feeling that the laws of nature will never allow the existence of Force life beyond the Star Mark Realm to appear in the Force Star Realm. Once it appears, a higher level of law will be triggered immediately. God-level Shining Gold There is no way to shield and nowhere to hide. At that time, I may encounter unprecedented severe divine suppression, which will have very bad consequences."

"Is this so? I remember that the Citizen Sacred Tree said a long time ago that after Star Trace, there is no way to go further."

"Seriously~"

Long Bai felt unwilling and asked: "Zhanlan, can you get stuck at the peak of the Star Mark Realm? You have perfected the 'Star Mark', but if you don't break through, it should be fine, right?"

Zhanlan: "Longbai, I'm afraid, that won't work either. The Star Mark Realm is a step further, and my tree body must also grow accordingly. This takes time, and we don't have that much time."

Zhan Lan: "Moreover, Long Bai, I feel that it is extremely difficult to grow in the Star Mark Realm. In terms of raw energy consumption alone, it is higher than the combined consumption of the Three Mark Realm and the Nine Mark Realm, about three times. Long Bai, you can't make it." So many rough stones have been collected.”

"That's it~"

Long Bai was silent, simply calculating silently, feeling weak in his heart.

In the Three Marks Realm and the Nine Marks Realm, the Scepter of the God of the Sea was activated three times in total, and the raw stone consumption was 12 billion.

three times?

36 billion?

Unthinkable.

The resources of the star realm are not enough to support such an evolution.

Long Bai thought silently for a while.

According to the plan, if nothing unexpected happens, the time of departure will be Yinbai 848.

There are 377 years left.

The Scepter of the God of the Ocean can be opened 12 times, which can roughly save the rough stones required to open the Scepter once.

In addition, it should not be difficult to cooperate with the Flame Spider Caravan and exchange the God-given Force Food for the raw stone to open the scepter.

Fully calculated, 4 billion rough stones were used once, 8 billion twice, which is a quarter of 36 billion.

That means that with the help of the power of the scepter of the God of the Ocean, Zhan Lan has completed a quarter of the evolutionary growth of the Star Mark Realm.

if,

At a normal rate, it would take tens of thousands of years for Zhanlan to grow in the Star Mark Realm. So, did it save it 2,500 years?

Long Bai concluded: It’s worth continuing!

You might even consider stepping up your efforts...

Long Bai turned sideways.

Green cypress, silver cypress, and rainbow apricot are standing on the reservoir bank and watching.

"Your Majesty, was it successful?"

"Obvious!"

"Then what shall we do next?"

“It takes a lot of rough stone.”

Long Bai ordered: "Didn't you mention going to the bottom of the sea to search for minerals? Cui Bai, please go back to Hong Island. Inform the Zerg warriors on the island to form two teams. Bai Fan will lead one team and Bai Qian will lead the other team. Everyone will lead the team on weekdays. I had nothing to do, and when I got bored staying on the island, I went to the undersea mountains to see if I could find any rough stone deposits.”

"I urge everyone not to get close to the coast and not to cause conflict with the mainland kingdom."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Cuibai agreed, quickly returned to the ant nest, and led the ant army to set off in a hurry.

…

Five days later,

Cuibai returned and brought news that the two kings were also on the island.

Er Da Wang, Bai Fan, and Bai Qian searched in three ways.

…

Time flies, three years flash forward.

Searching the waters of Wanglan Continent, nothing was found.

It can be concluded that due to law, rough stones will not be born in the ocean.

Mo Lan ran to Wang Lan and the bitterly cold Antarctic land of Zhibai Continent to check the situation.

There are mineral deposits, but they are all occupied by other Zerg forces.

The mainland has specialized flame spider traders and large tribes and kingdoms organize teams to explore and mine in insect-free areas.

Mo Lan had nothing to do and ran back to Yunji Continent to search the desert in the southeastern region.

What a discovery.

There are constant discoveries.

But it's a pity that they are all tens of millions of micro-ore veins.

I searched all over and found that the largest one only had less than 100 million rough stones in stock.

After struggling for more than ten years,

Long Bai concluded that the resources of the Force Star Realm are not enough to support the evolution of the Mark Realm.

We need a broader space for development.

…

Silver cypress 488 years old.

Expedition year.

Qi Ye, Xia Zhu, Stylus Spot and other spiders left.

…

Silver cypress 530 years old.

The Scepter of the God of the Ocean was opened as scheduled.

Under Long Bai's arrangement, two alien beast tribes, Zhu and Hongsang, faced the strange looks of the insects and entered the energy field to understand the sea soul and tsunami abilities.

So far,

All the insects on Hong Island, including the yellow skewers, wisterias, five leaves, wisterias, and cypresses from the purple linden kingdom, have all mastered the sea soul and tsunami abilities under Long Bai's arrangement.

When each batch of Poseidon fruits matures, they are auctioned publicly, and Long Cypress always takes two pieces.

Batch by batch, everyone can eat the Shanghai miracle fruit.

The tragedy is that it doesn't work very well.

So far, except for Mo Lan, no one has been able to understand the word 'Xiao'.

…

The thirty-year event is over.

Mo Lan escorts Zhu and Hong Sang back to Hong Island.

Within a few days,

The nine-color cloud mantis flapped its wings and came with the wind. Twenty or thirty kilometers away, Mo Lan activated his soul-fixing ability and greeted him from a long distance:

"Chief Longbai! Look!"

"Um--"

Long Bai's thoughts were deflected and he suddenly felt happy.

In the soul-fixing ability induction, above the colorful mantis in the clouds, next to Mo Lan, there is a weak but distinctive ant-shaped soul.

A specialized green ant that can leap up and evolve into a king!

After the joy,

Long Bai's expression became solemn again.

Specialized ants were no longer cultivated decades ago. The reason is very simple. Specialized ants have a long lifespan. What will happen if they leave the star realm in the future?

The best way to deal with it is to count the time and stop cultivating it, and wait for the existing specialized ants to die of old age naturally.

Another reason is that if King Zuo is born...

Long Bai set a goal for his subordinate King Zuo to have at least 9 divine patterns.

Those who don’t count are trash and are not qualified to continue to follow the two kings...

According to the plan, after leaving the star realm in 300 years, this Zuowang still has time to grow and evolve to the king level, but it will definitely be too late to condense a sufficient number of divine patterns.

"Mo Lan, where did you find this little guy?"

"Feiguang Mountain! I will go back to Yunji Continent as usual to check the status of the two wild god-given seeds of Feiguang and Southern Zizyphus."

"oh--"

After Longbai successfully condensed the 'Prosperity Mark', he cultivated specialized green ants on a large scale.

It was only then that a large number of specialized green ants were arranged to take care of the three wild God-given species of Scarlet Light, Southern Ziziphus, and Shake-Leaf Ironwood.

fine.

The little guy inherited almost all the wood-type abilities.

The cloud-mist mantis landed on the ground, opened its mouth and spit out a mist tentacle, rolled up the specialized green ants, and placed them in front of Long Bai.

"King?"

The special green ants looked at Long Bai in confusion.

With a thought, Long Bai released a ray of pheromone exclusive to the Ant King.

"Hello, Your Majesty~"

Tehua Qingyi turned around, raised his paw and pointed at Mo Lan, "Second King!"

Long Bai praised: "Smart little guy."

Mo Lan then jumped down, the pokeweed law divine mark on his forehead flashed, and a black lotus seed rolled out.

With a slight wave of his claws, a wisp of wind blade rolled past, and he cut four times. The lotus seeds were automatically shelled, and the kernels fell in front of the specialized green ants.

"The two kings are mighty~"

The specialized green ants swung their tentacles and cheered, buried their heads, swallowed the lotus seeds in one gulp, raised their heads slightly, and froze in place, motionless to absorb the original energy.

Long Bai: "Just discovered it?"

Mo Lan: "Of course."

Long Bai: "Spiritual power hasn't been born yet, who taught it to be flattery?"

Mo Lan: "Spade? Spade taught me for two days."

Has it been like this in two days?

Long Bai: "..."

Mo Lan: "I discussed it with everyone, and as usual, it will be officially named 'Hongguang'..."

"Second King!"

"Eh~"

Hongxing angrily drove a black cloud over and said in surprise: "New King Zuo! Your Majesty, the Second King, didn't you say that you can't be King Zuo?"

Long Bai: "Theoretically, it is not appropriate for King Zuo to appear again. However, my talent in the wood element is quite good, so the problem is not big."

Mo Lan asked: "Hongxing, how many divine marks do you have?"

Hongxing said modestly: "Just two paths! It's far worse than the five or four paths of Cuibai and Yincypress."

“It’s just barely okay~”

"But it's still far away~"

Mo Lan muttered and said helplessly: "There is no other way. I can only guide you personally."

Mo Lan solemnly announced: "From today on, I will also be stationed in Molan Mountain. Hongxing and Hongguang, you will learn from me."

Mo Lan suddenly raised her paw and pointed at the wall, "There are also Cui Bai and Yin Bai. What are the two idiots standing on the wall looking at? If you don't understand anything, you can come to me and ask for advice."

"..."

The ants were silent.

Mo Lan traveled all over the continent, saw all the spring, summer, autumn and winter of mountains and rivers, saw all kinds of alien Zerg races, and got tired of eating all kinds of delicacies.

Now, you are bored and plan to kill time with King Zuo?

Hongxing looked at Long Bai.

Mo Lan then looked at Long Bai, "Your Majesty, how are your abilities progressing? When will you evolve to the 7th age?"

"It went smoothly. No rush."

Long Bai advised: "Mo Lan, there is no upper limit to the divine pattern of your ability. You should calm down and think about your abilities."

"Listen to the big leader's command!"

Mo Lan readily agreed and waved her tentacles to signal.

Hong Guang understood immediately, stood up, and followed Mo Lan obediently towards the ant nest.

…

…

Molan settled down in Molan Mountain.

One month, two months, three months...

One year, two years, three years...

Long Bai thought it was temporarily bored and stayed in Molan Mountain for two years. Unexpectedly, it became completely quiet.

Every day, he either practiced his abilities with Hongxing and Hongguang, or controlled a piece of colorful cloud to float in the sky alone, staring at the sky without moving.

…

The years are long,

The leaders and deputy leaders of the United Kingdom of Bo Shuwan have changed again.

In Yinbai 578, the three Spider Kings, Chickweed, Purple Rui, and Newland, left the Force Star Realm, and the spider kings responsible for the transactions between the two realms also changed.

The insects across the continent changed batch after batch.

The insects in today's mainland have heard the legend of the leader Long Bai since they were born.

Now they have evolved into insect kings and are even planning to leave the Force Star Realm, but the leader Long Bai is still there.

Long Bai was promoted from a highly respected great leader, to an unfathomable legendary leader, to an elderly leader, to an old monster...

…

Silver cypress 608 years old.

King cypress is harvested when mature.

As early as the previous batch, the exchange with Chiwu Mountain had ended, and the Wangbaizi produced this time was arranged for juniper.

At the same time, this is also an expedition year.

Spend it peacefully,

Long Bai sent yellow skewer, wisteria, five-leaf, wisteria, and black rice insects back to the kingdom of purple linden insects.

on the way home,

Above the sea of ​​clouds.

A black dragonfly with a wingspan of thousands of meters, its body surface shines with silver lightning, flashing and galloping.

The main body of the beast is composed of wind wings and iron wings, moon spots are the shell, sun spots are the armor, molten fire tentacles, and heavy gold minions.

Nearly perfect body structure.

With the blessing of wind and thunder lightning ability, the speed was accelerated to the extreme, flying across the Yunji Continent, spanning most of the Wanglan Continent, and entering the boundary of the United Kingdom of Boshuwan.

After several more consecutive flashes, he entered the rocky desert and hovered over the scepter of the God of the Ocean.

Long Bai's figure emerged.

The jet-black dragonfly shrank sharply, and finally turned into a drop of blue water and submerged into the beast divine pattern on its forehead.

"Long Bai?"

On the wall below, Mo Lan tried his best to expand his spiritual power, and there was a bunch of doubtful thoughts.

"The imperial dragonfly form is completed."

"I want to condense the divine patterns."

Long Bai briefly described the situation, and the wind and thunder were stirred up, and his figure flashed down, and went straight into the ant nest on the city wall.

The next moment, the law was touched, and the surrounding heaven and earth, the vast law energy appeared out of thin air and converged towards the king's nest.

It lasted a whole day before it ended.

On the dragon's cypress forehead, around the circular azure beast divine pattern, the twelve polyp tentacles have turned into colorful colors, and there are even traces of different colors immersed in the azure round spots.

Long Baichu carefully designed the thirteen fixed changing forms of the beast covering the sea, land and air, and the last 'Emperor Dragonfly Form' was completed.

The seven elements, mainly the water element, can be considered initially complete.

Zhan Lan was the first to notice the change, and his spiritual power drifted into the ant nest.

"Long Bai, how are you?"

"It's done. It's ready to evolve to the 7th age."

Zhan Lan's mental power surged and he shouted excitedly: "Mo Lan! Mo Lan! Long Bai can evolve to the 7th age!"

"Green cypress! Silver cypress! Rainbow apricot! Rainbow light! Dragon cypress is about to evolve to its 7th age, prepare food quickly..."

At the 6th age, Long Bai only had 5 million God-given force food, so he ate at a rate of 1 million per day and rested for five days.

Everything is ready.

Sleeping evolution.

…

Half a month later, I woke up from a deep sleep.

The old shell is shed and the new carapace hardens quickly.

Long Bai was immersed in the spiritual realization and was ecstatic: the seven elemental forms!

More than three hundred years of precipitation have finally become a climate!

Mo Lan, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, was keenly aware of it. With a wave of his claw, the blocking stone wall shattered.

"Long Bai?"

Mo Lan flashed to the throne of control.

"King?"

"Your Majesty, have you realized the elemental form ability?"

Hongxing and Hongguang asked and rushed into the cave.

Long Bai pondered for a moment, then the seven series of original energy exploded, and a layer of hazy white light rose up from the dark green carapace.

"Complete seven-series elemental form abilities! It only takes a little time to condense the corresponding divine patterns!"

PS1: Dear readers, Happy New Year and good luck in the Year of the Dragon. Thank you all for your support and companionship over the past year. Long Bai kowtows to everyone and wishes you a happy New Year.

PS2: The Astral Chapter is coming to an end, and the pits dug previously have been basically filled. If you find that there are important pits that have not been filled, you can remind them. There is still time to make up for them in the next chapter. Fill them up and leave.

PS3: The setting of the universe chapter has not been fully conceived yet. The biggest problem is farming in the universe. What to plant? How to plant? If we simply open up wasteland, cultivate plants, and develop civilization, it seems a bit monotonous and lacks new ideas.

Do you have any good ideas that you can put forward?

I read all the comments from readers and don’t reply much. However, occasionally I adopt or refer to good suggestions.

at last,

Thanks again to all readers for your support.

Mo Lan kowtowed to everyone and paid New Year greetings.
