Natural God's Gift

After everything was settled, Clover and Angelica reluctantly bid farewell to Hongcha amidst her lingering gaze. Clover and Angelica stood on Cloudberry's back, as Cloudberry's body cut through the water, slowly swimming forward.

Angelica, standing on Cloudberry's back, looked at Clover: "Clover, seventy God-given tea seeds?"

"Yes,"

"How do we divide them?" God-given seeds are abundant in the kingdom, and there aren't none that enhance spiritual power, but there truly aren't any God-given seeds that are specifically suited for intermediate warriors to enhance their spiritual power.

Traveling merchants can trade for some outside, but within the kingdom, early and mid-level Flame Spider warriors are provided with Origin Power food by the kingdom. With so many spiders, large and small, even a small share for each spider doesn't amount to much.

Simply put, Origin Power food is available, and high-level God-given Origin Power food is also available, but early and mid-level God-given seeds are relatively scarce. The too high-level ones are difficult for the small spiders to digest, so for Clover and the others, mid-level God-given Origin Power food like God-given tea seeds is the most effective.

Clover: "Let's give twenty seeds to Angelica and Bai Zhi each, and the remaining ten can be exchanged with Ze Xie and the others.

After all, they've helped us a lot when we weren't around."

In a nutshell, I contribute, and everyone gets a share of the meat. Even if the quantity may be a bit small and the effect isn't significant, it's good for everyone to have a taste.

Angelica also agreed to this plan. Having a share of God-given Origin Power food that can be freely allocated feels pretty good.

"Where are we going now? Continue searching for God-given seeds? Or go straight back to the kingdom?"

Clover waved its antennae: "The probability of finding God-given seeds outside is too low, especially with our low level of evolution. The efficiency is also low. I'm afraid we'll search for an entire autumn and come up empty.

Relying on finding God-given seeds in the wild is not as good as waiting for God-given seeds to fly to our doorstep."

"Uh," Angelica was speechless. Clover's words were truly unafraid of being beaten.

"Then go back?"

Clover changed the subject: "But since we're already here, it seems a bit of a waste not to look around."

"Cloudberry, just wander around nearby and see if there are any other insect warriors."

"Okay," Cloudberry responded in a muffled voice. It swung its giant tail and changed direction to move forward.

Since the Star Sand Islands are called islands, it's natural that there can't be just one or two islands. It can be said that basically every few kilometers there is an island or reef, large or small.

Cloudberry followed the map, wandering around many islands. It's not known whether it's due to geological changes, but some of the islands recorded on the map are just reefs barely exposing one or two square meters, while others are as large as thirty or forty square kilometers.

Looking at the island proportions on the map, some islands are even hundreds of square kilometers.

Clover strongly suspected that there might be insect warriors on those large islands, but Angelica flew around and didn't find any traces of insect warriors.

Angelica didn't dare to fly around too recklessly. If there were too many birds somewhere, it was possible for even an intermediate warrior to be preyed upon. It had discovered more than one such place, with dense flocks of birds covering the sky, scaring it into fleeing in a panic.

"Clover, let's go back," Angelica was a little scared. It found that in these places without insect tribes, there were too many birds, too unrestrained. Back in Mulberry Ridge, in the Flame Spider Kingdom, where would any bird dare to hop around within the tribe? They'd be added to the menu in minutes.

But here, they could become a feast in minutes.

Clover thought carefully. With so many birds existing, could insect warriors be born on these islands?

Even if insect warriors were born, could they grow up smoothly? It doubted it.

With its current strength, it naturally didn't dare to go directly to the island, otherwise it would have to wait for Lord Qingfeng to collect its corpse. No wonder Hongcha could fly but didn't dare to run around recklessly. Clover felt that it was lucky that it could live to be an intermediate warrior.

"We can come back and wander around after becoming a high-level warrior."

"High-level warrior?" Angelica thought of the sky-covering flocks of birds and shivered: "I think it's safer to come up after reaching the Mountain Lord level."

Clover: "We'll talk about it then!"

Cloudberry: "Then go back?"

"Let's go back."

"Go home!" Angelica cried out happily.

The journey home was uneventful and simple. Angelica would occasionally fly into the sky to play, and occasionally plunge into the sea to catch fish. Clover watched it fly back and forth with envy. Being able to fly was really great. Why didn't it have wings?

It had heard that in the last Origin Power reincarnation period, there was more than one kind of fruit that could grant wind-type talent abilities in the Dragon Bamboo Continent. It wondered if there were any in this Origin Power reincarnation period? It wanted one too!

Clover said sourly: "Angelica, there are many big fish in the sea, be careful, don't get eaten in one gulp."

"How is that possible? How could I be so unlucky that a big fish just happens to swim by and attack me?" Angelica didn't take it seriously, hovering over Cloudberry's head, flying around wantonly.

"Boom," just as Clover and Angelica were focused on chatting, Cloudberry under Clover's feet suddenly erupted,

leaping out of the sea, a large mass of water spewing out of Cloudberry's mouth, directly washing Angelica in the sky into the sea. Clover on Cloudberry's back was also unable to stand firm under its sudden eruption and was directly thrown into the sea.

After spraying down Angelica, Cloudberry took the opportunity to dive into the water to catch Clover, who might sink.

Clover and Angelica were given a big fright. Clover splayed its eight legs, standing on Cloudberry's back, and Angelica also flapped its wings and flew back into the air.

"Cloudberry, little whale, what are you doing? You scared me."

Cloudberry saw Angelica's disheveled appearance and wagged its tail happily: "Didn't you say no big fish would attack you? Don't forget, I'm a fish too, specializing in treating the unconvinced!"

Angelica:

"....."

Clover: "..—"

Then what about me? I just inexplicably suffered an undeserved disaster?

Clover looked at its carapace. Fortunately, the silk bag was impervious to water and fire and sealed very tightly, so it wouldn't get wet either.

After being taught a lesson, perhaps because it was tired of flying, Angelica became much more obedient, quietly staying with Clover on Cloudberry's back to rest.

Just as the two insects were resting obediently, they suddenly felt the sun in the sky dim slightly.

At first, they thought it was a dark cloud blocking the sun and didn't pay attention, but as the sky became darker and darker, they thought it was going to rain.

Clover raised its first four legs, looked up at the sky, wondering if the rain was getting heavier, and considered whether to find a place to shelter from the rain. Then it looked at the light in the sky and suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Clover's frozen appearance, Angelica curiously looked up, and then it saw a huge spindle-shaped object blocking the sun in the sky and slowly falling.

Angelica was dumbfounded, speechless: "Clover, this, this, this — — — — what is this?"

The spindle-shaped object in the sky seemed to be still very high in the sky, far away from them, but it could clearly feel it getting closer and closer to the Star Realm.

Angelica struggled to send out its mental thoughts again: "Clover, what exactly is this?"

Awakened by Angelica's shout, Clover couldn't bother to answer it. Its spider legs continuously tapped the little whale Cloudberry under its feet, its mental thoughts somewhat flustered: "Cloudberry, hurry back to the Flame Spider Kingdom."

"Oh oh," Cloudberry had never seen Clover so flustered, and quickly swung its giant tail, accelerating forward.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's going on!" Clover was usually very steady, and its current panicked attitude made Angelica even more afraid.

Clover said worriedly: "I don't know what's going on either, but such a big thing appearing in the sky will definitely cause something big to happen. It's definitely right for us to rush back to the kingdom now."

Four-Leaf had a guess, but it had never seen this thing before and wasn't sure.

Yun Shi was accelerating forward with its head down, and Four-Leaf and Danggui were in no mood to talk. The excitement of earning two hundred origin stones from trading origin force food had vanished at this moment.

Under Yun Shi's rapid advance, they spent less than a day and a half to return to the Flame Spider Kingdom.

Before going ashore, Four-Leaf bid farewell to Yun Shi: "Yun Shi, in the days to come, you must not openly spread out your territory outside."

"Okay," Yun Shi wasn't stupid; it also saw the shuttle-shaped object in the sky. And seeing Four-Leaf's state, it was clear that something big was about to happen.

"Then I'll go back first, goodbye."

"Goodbye!"

After saying goodbye to Yun Shi, Four-Leaf raised its head and looked up at the sky. Even though Yun Shi had swam far away from the original sea area and a long time had passed, it could still see the huge shuttle-shaped object in the sky, and it was getting bigger and bigger in its field of vision.

It also didn't know where that huge object would fall? Would any unlucky insect warriors be flattened by that huge object?

Insect warriors might be able to escape, but if the life seed was planted near where the huge object fell, there would be no way to escape, which would be too unlucky.

"Danggui, let's go home." Four-Leaf called out and went home with Danggui. The thing that appeared in the sky was beyond its comprehension and was clearly not something it could handle.

As a little spider with self-awareness, the best thing to do now was to go nowhere and run back to its nest to hide.

Danggui flapped its wings and flew at low altitude. Now it didn't dare to fly too high, as if flying too high would cause the huge object in the sky to fall on it.

Danggui flew above Four-Leaf, as if afraid of other insects hearing their whispers, and lowered its mental thoughts: "Four-Leaf, where do you think this thing will fall?"

"I don't know." Although Four-Leaf said this, it still looked towards the east. If it remembered correctly, according to what Lord Qingfeng and the others said, the direction of the east was the divine power barrier that connected the isolated continents, right?

It's just that they can't see it from the Flame Spider Kingdom due to the angle.

Could it be that the huge object will fall into the divine power barrier?

Obviously, this was not a question it should consider.

The two insects ran quickly back to their territory, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lucky Clover. For some reason, it felt that as long as it stayed in the nest and surrounded itself with soft reeds, the little warrior could inexplicably generate a great sense of security, as if even if the sky fell outside, it would be nothing more than that.

"Lucky Clover, I'm back!" Returning to its home, Four-Leaf temporarily forgot about the changes in the outside world, and its mood improved a little.

Lucky Clover commented: "You came back quite fast this time. How many origin stones did you earn?"

Compared to when Four-Leaf came back, Lucky Clover was more concerned about how many origin stones it earned, enough to replenish a wave of origin force for itself.

"Hey, this trip earned origin force food worth two hundred origin stones. After all, it's not the first time trading, so it's easy to get familiar with the road, so naturally it's simpler."

"Well, remember to use some for me."

"Okay, okay," Four-Leaf敷衍 casually. Lucky Clover had Lord Ziyun Mountain to replenish its soil nutrients and Lord Ginkgo to replenish its origin force. It didn't need these few origin stones that it worked so hard to earn; it was purely bored.

However, Four-Leaf was extremely satisfied that the spider supplied it with the life seed that it needed the most.

Otherwise, with Lucky Clover's demand for origin force, it would only be struggling on the verge of bankruptcy.

Lucky Clover: "Baizhi came the day before yesterday, but after not seeing you, it left some things and left."

"Is that so?" Four-Leaf didn't know what Baizhi wanted it for.

"I'll unload the origin force food on my carapace first." Four-Leaf ran back to the nest and put the remaining origin force food from this transaction back into the nest, waiting for Baizhi to come over and distribute it together.

At the entrance of the nest, Danggui hooked up a spider silk flag with its claws and examined it carefully: "Four-Leaf, it's Baizhi's message."

Four-Leaf placed the origin force food and walked out of the nest: "What did it say?"

Danggui handed the flag to Four-Leaf for inspection. Only four Flame Spider Kingdom characters were written on it: "Big event happening!"

As soon as Four-Leaf saw it, it was obvious that it was telling it to go find it as soon as it came back.

Big event, what big event is there at this time? Could the big event Baizhi was talking about be related to the shuttle-shaped object in the sky?

"Danggui, go find Baizhi and tell it that we're back."

"Okay," Danggui didn't delay and immediately flew away from the territory to find Baizhi.

Four-Leaf raised its head to check the object in the sky. It seemed to be getting closer and closer to the Star Realm, and it didn't know how many insects could discover its existence.

As it gradually fell, it was no longer like before when it was in the distant high sky, blocking the sun. Although it was getting bigger and bigger in its field of vision, it could already see its full appearance from a distance.

It had a body as huge as a mountain, and its entire body emitted a bright silver light under the sunlight.

It was like a bright silver almond lying horizontally.

The only bad thing was that there were several extremely large cracks on the surface of this 'bright silver almond', which completely destroyed this beautiful almond, and things kept falling out of the "almond".

It stands to reason that such a huge object appearing in the sky should fall at extreme speed, but it seemed to be supported by something, and the downward trend was extremely slow.

Just as Four-Leaf stopped to watch the specific situation of the huge object in the sky, Danggui and Baizhi also rushed over.

Baizhi was shouting from a long distance away: "Four-Leaf, you're finally back."

"What's wrong?"

Baizhi ran to Four-Leaf, pointed to the sky with its forelimbs, and said somewhat seriously: "Did you see the thing in the sky?"

"I saw it."

"Lord Ginkgo said that this is an extraterrestrial starship!"

Four-Leaf's heart shook. As it guessed, the big almond in the sky was really an extraterrestrial starship.

This thing, the extraterrestrial starship, is both familiar and unfamiliar to the Flame Spiders of the kingdom.

It is familiar because many creations of extraterrestrial civilizations in the kingdom were found in the starship.

It is unfamiliar because they have heard stories of starships since they were young, but they have never seen this thing.

It is estimated that only Lord Ginkgo and Lord Cheqian, these lords who came from Longzhu Continent, have seen extraterrestrial starships in the kingdom.

According to the kingdom's literature, the Origin Force Star Realm is divided into eight parts by the Natural God with a divine power barrier. Each part is a continent, and the Myriad Race Continent is one of them.

These eight continents are separated by divine power barriers and do not communicate with each other, but during each Origin Force Reincarnation period, extraterrestrial starships fall into the divine power barrier, connecting the continents to each other.

After the Origin Force Reincarnation ends, these starships will disappear without knowing it. Occasionally, one or two starships will be left in the Star Realm, and the Flame Spider Kingdom will hide them as a retreat for its tribe.

Baizhi continued: "Lord Ginkgo said that the extraterrestrial starship fell between the Myriad Race Continent and the Myriad Kingdom Continent. While connecting the two continents, it will also produce many disputes and struggles.

For safety's sake, starting next year, Flame Spiders below the level of advanced warriors, including the Five Tribes Flame Spider merchants,

can only stay in the kingdom. Even advanced warriors must travel with Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders."
