Astral Ant Tribe

Lord Manchi is a fastidious insect. In order to welcome the leaders of the major chambers of commerce and major forces from the three major galaxies, he has made high-standard etiquette preparations.

An open half-moon-shaped palace with a radius of more than 100 meters.

The gray-white floor paved with chaotic rough stones is low-key and luxurious.

The stone pillars, walls, and domes decorated with raw stones from around the world and various shining gemstones are all gorgeous and noble.

Under the throne,

In the spacious living room, there are two rows of 'low tables' about 2 meters long and 1.2 meters wide, made of raw metal and carved with exquisite flower and bird patterns.

Omnics designed in the shape of a phantom flame spider were busy coming in and out, placing various Force foods, freshly picked fruits, and steaming, grilled and cut into pieces of fresh meat on the table.

Behind the table is a soft cushion made of something similar to spider silk. When guests sit down, they can lie down on the cushion behind it comfortably and lift their paws to get the food on the table.

It seems very solemn, formal and formal.

It is much more high-end than the banquet style of Pandan Mountain where people sit around a gold-plated cauldron and cook and eat.

…

Lord Manchi fixed his gaze on Long Bai and asked, "Are you the leader of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Long Bai introduced himself: "The leader of the Pandan Chamber of Commerce, the giant ant tribe, Long Bai Ant King. Mo Lan is indeed a mantis warrior who walked out of the mother planet with me. He holds the position of leader in the Pandan Chamber of Commerce and is mainly responsible for Education and defense matters.”

Then he raised his paw and introduced: "This is Huiqishan, the leader of Shield Pillar, ranked 241st in the 456th Sunlight Sea Arena Battle. This is Captain Ang Tianlian of Luoji Chamber of Commerce, he is on a long vacation, everyone We went on an adventure together, and happened to meet the Lord of Shanshuang in the Fire Star. After learning the information about the Amber Galaxy, we came with him. This is the most powerful Zuo Wang under my command, Ju Bai..."

Long Bai introduced them one by one, and finally it was Bai Liu’s turn...

Bai Liu took the initiative and said: "My name is Bai Liu. I am the commander of the ninth legion of the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce's Military Department. I am the commander-in-chief of battles and specialize in territorial defense. I have a divine black lotus seed given by the gods."

"oh!"

"So many powerful warriors! Your Pandan Chamber of Commerce is really full of talents!"

Lord Manchi said politely and pointed with his tentacles:

"Chief Longbai! Please take a seat in front!"

"Chief Shield Pillar, please take a seat here!"

"..."

Very particular,

The higher the status, the closer the seat is to the throne dominated by Manchi.

There is a distinction between host and guest, and the order is high and low.

The guests were seated, and Lord Manchi finally ascended his throne, twisting the wooden letter plate of Lord Shanshuang to look at it, then he put on a formal tone and said slowly:

"Shanpai only holds 10 of these letter cards. There is an agreement within the chamber of commerce that insects or forces that come with a letter card can enjoy the highest preferential treatment. There is also an agreement that they must be close old friends, or emerging tribes or chambers of commerce with unlimited potential. ”

"You are so young and if you are not old friends, then you must be..."

Lord Manchi's eyes were focused, and he said slowly: "The divine power of reincarnation, the energy of all living beings, the power of the world. And the extraordinary physique of the elite warriors of the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce. Chief Longbai, your potential is indeed unlimited."

"There is also the leader of Shield Pillar, the leader of Mo Lan, the leader of Red Maple, the leader of Mao Berry, etc. You are all the top warriors in the universe. There is no doubt about it..."

Lord Manchi spoke implicitly, paused, and asked: "Can you please introduce your Pandan Chamber of Commerce and Citi Chamber of Commerce in detail? You are a small group of insects, and you came here in a super-fast starship? Is there any Organize other insects from the Chamber of Commerce and arrange for the main fleet to come over? "

"Of course!"

Long Bai said: "The main fleet is on the road, with a speed of 1,200 times the speed of light. It is expected to arrive within 4,800 years. In the first batch, we dispatched 60,000 elite Zerg warriors, as well as 500 ant queens and bee queens from the Glory Realm and Star Realm, and There are several subordinates under my command. There is an unassembled survival mothership that can be assembled and put into use at any time, as well as various supporting engineering equipment."

Long Bai knew very well that the size of his group was far different from the fleets led by Si Shu and Xia Yue, and it was also completely incomparable with the fleets of the seventh- and eighth-level chambers of commerce that would follow.

Even with the transport ship "Molan" taking the lead, it is still just a small force with no influence and cannot get into the eyes of Lord Manchi at all.

Long Bai didn't show off. After finishing speaking, he stood up. The space in front of him wavered slightly, and ten square metal boxes floated out...

"Space-time Rubik's Cube!"

Lord Manchi's eyes lit up slightly, and he recognized it at once, and asked: "This thing only came out from the daylight sea arena battle, and you won all this on the battlefield?"

"Yes."

"Mo Lan is the champion of the 455th Star Realm Battlefield. I also won the 456th Star Realm Battlefield Championship."

Long Bai picked the key points and spoke in an understatement. He waved his tentacles gently, and the Rubik's Cube flew in front of the Manchi Lord. He changed to a solemn tone and explained and introduced:

"The main reason why the Lord of Mountain Calamity gave us the letter plate and warmly invited us to develop in the Amber Galaxy is because I have a sacred tree of law called the Great King Cypress."

"The fruit produced is called 'Wang Baizi', and the ability given is called 'Adapt to Evolution'. There are two main development directions: the first is to imitate changes, bionics, creation, and even creation; the second is to evolve and adapt. , absolutely adaptable, absolutely immune, and strengthen oneself into an immortal divine body.”

Long Bai: "Currently, the Great King Cypress Sacred Tree is only at the star level, and it only produces star-level Wang Baizi. The flower and fruit cycle is 111 years. Time is short, and we only have time to prepare 10 as a greeting gift. , Lord Manchi, please don’t dislike it.”

"The Divine Tree of Law! Adapt to evolution?"

"No wonder! I'm just saying~"

Lord Manchi stood up excitedly, murmured, overjoyed, and said happily:

"I knew that the first team to arrive in the Amber Galaxy would never be simple! It turned out to be the Divine Tree of Law! During your galaxy voyage adventure, you accidentally encountered a mountain disaster, so you got the information first? This is not luck, not a coincidence, this It is clearly the true God of nature who is guiding us!”

"Yes!"

Long Bai solemnly moved his tentacles and echoed, "The universe is so big, I don't believe there is such a coincidence. It must be the true God of nature who guides us to join the Amber Galaxy, so we can do great things here."

"..."

Mo Lan, Ang Tianlian, and Bailiu Sanchong listened silently,

——The leader of the force always talks in the same way~

——Long Bai has already used the same technique of complimenting each other with the Mountain Disaster Master~

"That's right!"

Lord Manchi moved his tentacles vigorously in agreement, selected a space-time Rubik's Cube, and controlled the twisting. Wang Baizi teleported it out. He stared at it carefully for a long time, thought slightly, and carefully packed it away.

"Chief Longbai is too polite! But I will not be polite. I will accept your gift! Here in the Amber Galaxy, we also have little warriors being born, and we are worried about the lack of top-notch resources to train little warriors."

"Lord Manchi, just don't mind if our gifts are too frivolous."

Long Bai made a false greeting and continued to introduce: "We are too young, have a short development time, and are still weak. Therefore, this time, three chambers of commerce cooperated to form a team. The Pandan Chamber of Commerce, headed by me, and Shield The Citi Chamber of Commerce is headed by Leader Zhu, and there is the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce led by Flame Spider.”

"The three major chambers of commerce work independently but cooperate closely. They have jointly formed an engineering fleet. In the White Crystal Galaxy, we have the ability to directly or indirectly mobilize more than a million Zerg warriors to build stars."

"The Pandan Chamber of Commerce has cooperated with the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce to engage in raw food trade, covering 11 star fields in the Baijing Galaxy, with a total annual transaction volume of nearly 30 billion. At the same time, we have also cooperated to get involved in the trade of raw energy materials. We have determined that a fourth galaxy will appear in the near future, and we have prepared an expedition fleet and accumulated some materials.”

"At the same time, we are also engaged in zero-level source point management, and the total number of God-given seeds we directly own exceeds 100,000. Citi Mountain has a stable inheritance on the home planet, and a steady stream of warriors leave the home star, enter the starry sky, and join the Chamber of Commerce . The number of divinely gifted seeds that we directly control exceeds 30, and through trade cooperation, the number of divinely gifted seeds that we indirectly control can exceed 100. "

"Our three major chambers of commerce have united and have a certain appeal in the eleven star regions of the White Crystal Galaxy. We can guide more than five million Zerg warriors to migrate and come to the Amber Galaxy to settle and develop..."

Long Bai did his best to promote the power and influence of his party.

But Lord Manchi obviously doesn't like it very much.

For an emerging chamber of commerce of this size, it is more than enough to compare with those below, but it is completely inadequate when compared to the top~

"Okay! Very good!"

"Chief Longbai, the Amber Galaxy is newly opened, and it's time to use insects. You can introduce friends to come here for development, and I will give you preferential treatment."

Lord Manchi said politely, then brought the topic back to the Divine Tree of Law, and asked: "Leader Longbai, according to my knowledge, your reincarnation ability has reached an extremely high level. You have understood Yuanli, and there are many The strong characteristics of the Li Bamboo Merchant Guild warriors, as well as the numerous and not weak ten-line abilities, have you integrated these powers into a world ability? "

"Yes--"

Long Bai complimented: "Lord Manchi is well-informed and knowledgeable, and his analysis scores are perfect."

Master Manchi asked: "Then you should have established a stable law fruit exchange transaction with the Baijing Chamber of Commerce and the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce?"

Long Bai answered truthfully: "Yes. Baiwei Chamber of Commerce is doing cross-galaxy law fruit exchange transactions. Currently, there are five kinds of divine fruits known as Wangbaizi, Baijingguo, Giant Dragon Bamboo Fruit, Rosary Bean, and Peach Blossom Fruit. Exchange each other.”

"No wonder!"

Lord Manchi's eyes were shining with golden red light, and he was obviously more interested in the fruit of the law. He said in admiration:

"With so many law fruits and divine fruits, it would be difficult for the insects in your chamber of commerce not to be powerful!"

Long Bai said modestly: "But there are too few Zerg warriors with superior Force talent and fighting talent. In the recent daylight sea arena battle, our Chamber of Commerce's record was not good. Only two little guys ranked among the top 300, and their rankings were not good. High, not even in the top 100.”

Lord Manchi said to the point: "I am familiar with the daylight sea arena battle, and most of the rankings were taken away by the little warriors who came from the mother planet and were favored by the true god of nature. It is already remarkable that the little warriors who were born in the starry sky can get the rankings. "

Speaking of the daylight sea arena battle, Lord Manchi, a warrior who is good at fighting, was full of energy and high spirits. He raised his tentacles and waved, greeting:

"It's been a long star voyage, are you all tired? Let's eat and chat while we eat."

He said politely and then asked:

"In the past three million years, the Li Zhu Chamber of Commerce, the Bai Jing Chamber of Commerce, and the Traveling Flame Spider Tribe have all appeared that are particularly powerful...well, that kind of core ability has reached the level of Chief Long Bai, Chief Mo Lan, and you guys How many young-generation fighters are there?”

Long Bai: "This...seems...not much, right?"

Mo Lan tilted her head and thought, and said: "The Scarlet Dragonfly tribe has a guy named 'Blue Blood Dragon Li', who can compete with me. Not to mention the abilities given by other Law Fruits, the main reason is that when it was on the home planet, it obtained It is a strange, extremely powerful power of annihilation given by the true god of nature. I have tried countless times and cannot simulate it at all."

Mo Lan turned her eyes and said: "By the way! There are also! There are also the guys who master the ancient artifacts, the White-faced God and the Black-faced God..."

Mo Lan told the story of the two artifacts "The Kingdom of the Immaculate and the Pure Heart" in detail.

"!!!"

This is undoubtedly another breaking news!

Lord Manchi's tentacles stood upright when he heard it, his eyes were filled with light, he pondered for a long time, and muttered: "How many good things has the True God of Nature collected?"

The topic comes to this...

Long Bai immediately added, "We have private exchanges and transactions with the White-faced God and the Black-faced God, and the relationship is pretty good. I have seen the god-level power given by the artifacts on them..."

Long Bai observed Master Manchi's reaction and said cautiously: "Master Manchi, you seem to have similar god-level power in the metal system?"

"That's right..."

Lord Manchi admitted directly, gently tapped his tentacles, and said: "It was also given by the True God of Nature on the mother star, called the 'Eternal Heart'... Do you know about the Eternal Star Civilization?"

"Know!"

"I know too."

"I know!"

Long Bai and his group of insects were not calm for a moment. They looked at each other and all at the Man Chi Lord. They raised their tentacles and waited for the next step.

Long Bai said solemnly: "I have learned about it in detail in the library, and focused on the history of the rise and fall of this civilization, as well as the 'omnic catastrophe' caused by it."

Lord Manchi: "It can be seen that you have instinctive rejection of the large number of digital life forms and omnics that exist in the Manchi star system, and you also have rational concerns."

"The first thing I want to say is, feel safe, nothing will go wrong."

"Well, how should I put it..."

Lord Manchi paused and said: "If you are not a Lord at the evolutionary level, you do not have permission to read some information and cannot fully understand the history at that time. I think that since you have come this far, I can tell you in detail."

Lord Manchi paused for another two seconds, organized his speech, and said leisurely: "The Eternal Star Civilization is a pure technological civilization. The technological civilization makes artifacts, and materials are the core technology. They use unknown methods to achieve mass production of gods. It took hundreds of millions of years to build a god-level flag ship that represents the highest achievement of civilization, and its name is 'Eternal Stars'."

"A super-giant ship with a diameter of over 7 million kilometers, an unprecedented one that subverts cognition. It has all the functions of survival, production, defense, and attack. It is not only a starship, but also the political, technological, and cultural center of civilization."

"It is not a battleship in the conventional sense as we see it now. In fact, it has been endowed with life characteristics and can be regarded as a god-level true god-level omnimachine named 'Eternal Stars'!"

"The Eternal Stars possess huge data, god-level computing power, and manage the entire civilization. It can be said that it is the actual ruler of the Eternal Stars Civilization."

"..."

Long Bai and his group of insects were shocked and stunned: Is there such a thing?

Mo Lan raised her paw and asked: "That's not right! Since they are already the actual rulers of civilization, why do the Eternal Stars still betray themselves? Doesn't this mean they are betraying themselves?"

Lord Manchi shook his tentacles gently and said: "It is not the eternal stars that are betrayed."

Lord Manchi's eyes fell on Long Bai.

Long Bai said: "The biggest feature of scientific and technological civilization is mass manufacturing. Now that we have mastered the methods and technology and occupied a vast enough territory, we can definitely produce an endless stream of god-level materials, and then build the second and third god-level ships. -class starship. I guess there is something wrong with the god-class starship at the back.”

"clever!"

Lord Manchi asked strangely: "Chief Longbai, have you read the relevant information?"

"No--"

Long Bai shook his tentacles and asked: "Great leader Manchi, is this not difficult to guess?"

"It's not difficult, but your guess is so accurate!"

Master Manchi said: "The Eternal Civilization really built the second and third god-class starships in one go, and called them the 'Eternal Twins'."

Long Bai: "..."

Master Manchi said: "'Zi' means direct descendants, blood descendants...it is not the kind of blood descendants that we Zerg understand...well, just like..."

Lord Manchi was thinking, he raised his paw and tapped the roasted tender cow on the plate on the table, and said: "It's just like a cow giving birth to two calves. The two 'children' are born directly." , blood relationship passed down vertically.”

"But that's not actually the case."

"The Eternal Twins are not born from the eternal stars..."

Manchi asked: "Can everyone understand what I mean?"

"able!"

"cannot!"

"Generally understood. But not completely understood."

Some of the insects clicked their tentacles, and some shook their tentacles.

Seeing that Long Bai and Dunzhu both clicked their tentacles, Lord Manchi continued without further explanation:

"The Eternal Twins have a diameter of less than 6 million kilometers, are only half the size of the Eternal Stars, and have only about half the comprehensive capabilities of the Eternal Stars. They are also subject to subordinate restrictions."

"The Eternal Twins were dissatisfied, united, brewed a riot, and successfully killed the Eternal Stars, seized and shared its 'Eternal Heart', and completed a leap."

"Then they started fighting internally, madly expanded their military power, and broke out a tragic war that shook the universe, but in the end they fought to the death. Other intelligent machines began to fight for the Eternal Heart, the wreckage of the god-level warship, armed and strengthened themselves, and evolved into a large number of demigod-level intelligent machines, and finally lost control and turned into an intelligent machine catastrophe."

Manchi Lord said: "What I got was the Eternal Heart of 'Ruthenium', one of the Eternal Twins. I merged myself and mastered a little ability to control intelligent machines."

-I see!

-What specific abilities are they?

Manchi Lord obviously didn't want to introduce in detail, and the insects didn't ask too much.

Long Bai thought quickly and asked, "Did the other 'Eternal Heart' get the Longzhu Lord of the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce?"

"I also suspected it..."

Manchi Lord shook his tentacles and said, "I had the honor to meet Longzhu Lord. Judging from the power characteristics, it is not like that. No, the difference is very obvious. It is a different civilization system."

"Oh——"

Long Bai asked, "So, Lord Manchi, do you mean to vigorously develop scientific and technological civilization in the Amber Galaxy, vigorously promote intelligent machinery, and assist in galaxy construction and scientific and technological production?"

"I want to, too. But I can't do it."

Manchi Lord shook his tentacles helplessly and said, "I am a Force life, Zerg warriors are not god-level warships with a diameter of more than 7 million kilometers. They are two completely different life forms. I only inherited a limited part of the metal essence of the ‘Heart of Eternity’. ”

Manchi Overlord: “I can only control the intelligent machines in the star system. I am studying the knowledge in the field of science and technology. If one day I can crack and restore the manufacturing method of god-level materials and build a god-level starship, perhaps I can use this to leap and evolve into a ‘true god’, becoming similar to the ‘Eternal Stars’ and ‘Eternal Twins’, but different from them. ”

“! ! ! ”

The insects were awed by the words, and their antennae were erected in awe.

Manchi Overlord has mastered the evolutionary path to the true god!

It sounds like a shortcut!

Ang Tianlian asked tentatively: "Lord Manchi, how much of the knowledge of the Eternal Stars Civilization in making god-level materials has been preserved?"

"Zero."

Lord Manchi said: "The confidentiality measures and the war have caused all the core knowledge of the Eternal Stars Civilization to be lost."

"Uh..."

Ang Tianlian: "Then, the difficulty should not be high, right?"

Lord Manchi said unhappily: "This kid from the Five-Colored Flame Spider Tribe, you are not deeply involved in the field of science and technology, right?"

Ang Tianlian: "..."

Ang Tianlian said self-deprecatingly: "I am almost illiterate."

"I can see it."

Lord Manchi said: "In the Eternal Stars Civilization, countless top wise men spent hundreds of millions of years and accumulated countless generations before they finally understood the ultimate mystery of science and technology. I am almost alone, and my subordinates can't help much, and my intelligent machines are limited in size. How much time and energy do I need to spend to get to that step? The difficulty is unimaginable."

"..."

The insects' vertical antennae drooped excitedly.

It seems to be right! For a Zerg warrior with clumsy six claws, not particularly good brains, and not naturally good at technology, this road is simply deadly. (End of this chapter)
