Natural God's Gift
#262 - Black Tree Disaster
Although the distribution method of the Divine Wish Fruit isn't perfect, everyone can only accept this result.
Who asked it to be so rare? It's destined that not every spider can eat it.
"Then, should this Divine Wish Fruit be given to the Round Purpleflame Spider Tribe or the Watase Flame Spider Tribe?"
Among the five Flame Spider tribes, the Watase Flame Spider tribe has contributed the most, mainly because the Ziyun Lord provided the Life Godstone.
This point alone creates many shares. If it wants to eat the second Divine Fruit, no one has a reason to refuse.
Everyone looked at the Ziyun Lord, waiting for its decision.
The Ziyun Lord calmly said, "Before, we said the time for the Cui Xing God-Given Seed to nurture Three-Star Apricots should be calculated based on the annual yield, estimated to be equivalent to 10 million Origin Stones, right?"
"Correct." This was the result Ginkgo Lord negotiated with the Ziyun Merchant after everyone agreed.
Even after so many years, they wouldn't go back on their word.
"According to the agreement, if the Three-Star Apricot is worth 60 million Origin Stones, then the time the Cui Xing God-Given Seed has been nurturing can deduct 10 million Origin Stones from that base."
"The remaining 50 million Origin Stones, discounted by 20%, is 40 million Origin Stones. I and Si Ye split it equally, each getting 20 million Origin Stones."
"Yes."
The Ziyun Lord waved its antennae: "Then, let's give this Divine Wish Fruit's share to the Round Purpleflame Spider Tribe first."
To eat the Three-Star Apricot, it needs 50 million Origin Stones. Its share is only 20 million Origin Stones, which is far from enough.
Instead of wasting a talent awakening opportunity, it's better to wait until Ginkgo nurtures the Red Leaf Jing Tian God-Given Seed. In the future, after being promoted to King-level, it can use the power of the King-level God-Given Seed to nurture the Three-Glow Jing Tian Fruit.
As for the share of the first Divine Wish Fruit that belongs to them, their merchant already reached a deal with Ginkgo beforehand.
Ginkgo's private spiders will fund the compensation for them, so naturally, it can't be included in the calculations here anymore.
"Then, let's give it to the Round Purpleflame Spider Tribe."
The Round Purpleflame Spider Tribe's Yi Yi Lord and She Gan Lord have collected many God-Given Seeds. Although the value of each God-Given Seed isn't very high, the large quantity accumulates, and the interest is nearly 20 million Origin Stones.
"Now that the distribution of this Divine Wish Fruit is settled, let's talk about other matters."
Che Qian Lord initiated the next topic.
"Ginkgo, you currently only have one Ginkgo God-Given Seed, right?"
"Yes," Ginkgo Lord's Ginkgo God-Given Seed was applied for from the kingdom. For this, it still owes a lot of debt.
Fortunately, Ginkgo Lord's luck is much better than Qingfeng Lord's. It obtained two God-Given Seeds during its management of the territory. It didn't nurture these two God-Given Seeds into life seeds but handed them over to the kingdom to repay the debt.
Although the value of these two God-Given Seeds is far less than the Ginkgo God-Given Seed, it allowed it to repay most of its debt. In addition, it usually saves every penny and has already paid off most of its debt.
"Then, applying for another God-Given Seed wouldn't violate the kingdom's rules."
The kingdom stipulates that spiders with two or more God-Given Seeds cannot apply for God-Given Seeds again. They wouldn't dare to break this rule, otherwise, the King-level wild God-Given Seeds could directly sanction them.
Che Qian Lord: "Ginkgo, do you want to choose Red Leaf Jing Tian or Tricolor Violet as your ninth-year life seed?
R
Ginkgo Lord thought for a moment: "Which God-Given Seed do you think is more suitable for the current situation?"
The Divine Fruits that the two God-Given Seeds can nurture are different. The Three-Glow Jing Tian Fruit grants water, fire, and wind-type talents.
The Tricolor Violet Fruit grants earth, wood, and wind-type talents.
The Three-Glow Jing Tian Fruit is suitable for the consumption of Original Flame Spiders, Purple Rainbow Flame Spiders, and Watase Flame Spiders.
The Tricolor Violet Fruit is suitable for the consumption of Purple Rainbow Flame Spiders, Phantom Rainbow Flame Spiders, and White-Legged Flame Spiders.
Nurturing which God-Given Seed as a life seed first is related to which tribe's Flame Spiders will consume the Divine Fruit first. This matter still needs to be discussed.
As soon as this question was raised, everyone looked at each other again. If they remember correctly, the Three-Star Apricot grants water, fire, and earth-type talents.
If the Red Leaf Jing Tian God-Given Seed is nurtured, then the White-Legged Flame Spiders and Phantom Rainbow Flame Spiders will have to wait until much later to consume the Divine Fruit.
If the Tricolor Violet God-Given Seed is nurtured, the Watase Flame Spiders will have to delay consuming the Divine Fruit. It's not good for anyone to be ranked last.
Thinking carefully, the Purple Rainbow Flame Spiders are still the best. They have metal-type talents, and it's not a loss for them to consume any of the above Divine Fruits.
Everyone fell into a dilemma.
Yan Feng Lord smacked his lips: "It's so hard to choose. It would be great if we could find the Mangosteen God-Given Seed or the Blood Vine God-Given Seed."
All the spiders were speechless. If they were so easy to find, they wouldn't have been struggling for so long.
"Actually, in the last Primal Force Cycle era, the kingdom did have the Mangosteen God-Given Seed, but at the end of the Primal Force Cycle, it was taken out of the Primal Force Star Realm by the previous Spider King."
"Ah?" Yin Fou Lord's words caused everyone to sigh again.
Che Qian Lord tapped the ground with its front leg: "There's no need to mention the past. This Divine Wish Fruit will be used by the Round Purpleflame Spider. The next Divine Fruit will be used by the Purple Rainbow Flame Spider.
There will be at least a dozen or twenty years in between. I propose that Ginkgo nurture the Red Leaf Jing Tian God-Given Seed during its ninth year.
And the Tricolor Violet God-Given Seed will be nurtured into a life seed by Qingfeng. When the time comes, Qingfeng can nurture the Tricolor Violet Fruit."
"That might work." Although everyone didn't quite agree, where in this world is there a perfect solution?
After finishing the second matter, Qingfeng Lord continued with the next topic: "There's one more thing. Si Ye is about to be promoted to Mountain Master. After it is promoted to Mountain Master level, will the Life Godstone still be used for the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed? If it is used for it, how should the price be determined?"
"Uh," After reaching the Mountain Master level, even without external assistance, the Divine God-Given Seed can self-produce Divine Fruits, but the time may be longer.
The main reason is that the Zerg warriors grow relatively slowly in the Mountain Master stage, and it will take at least decades to be promoted to the Lord level, so the Divine Fruits have enough time to grow.
This also means that it doesn't need the Life Godstone.
The topic brought up by Qingfeng Lord also gave the other spiders a headache. After calculating back and forth, they still had to base it on the fact that the Lucky Clover God-Given Seed can produce one fruit every seven years.
If the Life Godstone isn't used and it relies on its own growth, it will only bear a fruit every twenty or thirty years. Wouldn't everyone be waiting until the end of time?
"It still needs to be used, otherwise, how will it ever be able to repay all the fruits it owes?"
Now, Si Ye doesn't calculate the account of the God-Given Seed, and the interest alone owes ten Divine Fruits. If it only bears a fruit every twenty or thirty years, then is there still a need for them to painstakingly acquire God-Given Seeds?
"Then, the sharing ratio?" This seems a bit difficult to determine?
Should it be based on the current sharing ratio, or should the sharing be reallocated?
Speaking of this, the other lords fell silent. Anyway, the total price of the Divine Wish Fruit wouldn't change, and the sharing was a matter between the Ziyun Merchant and Si Ye.
Just then, Four-Leaf, who hadn't spoken, released a mental message: "Let's stick to the current calculation for the distribution ratio. Adjusting it back and forth isn't good. Besides, the Life Godstones can only be used for a few more decades anyway, and not many fruits will be produced."
It then said, pretending to be relaxed, "I still want to pay off my debts as soon as possible."
It really didn't care about these things. Anyway, it had already maximized the use of its Lucky Clover God-Given Seed. Even if this God-Given Seed didn't produce anything in the next few decades, it wouldn't lack Origin Power food.
Any production would just go towards paying off debts, and it wouldn't get to eat any of it. It didn't really care if it was a few years sooner or later.
Moreover, it was brought back by the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild. If it weren't for them, it didn't know if it could have protected its little life in the wilderness. There was no need to be too meticulous in calculating with its own kind.
Well, since Four-Leaf had said so, the other Spiders naturally had no objections.
Lord Purple Cloud originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, ultimately didn't open his mouth.
Taking the opportunity, Four-Leaf also mentioned its own matter: "I'm about to advance to the Mountain Lord level immediately. To be on the safe side, my Life Seed will need to rest from flowering and fruiting for a few years."
"Good!" Everyone was well aware of this situation, and they didn't mind waiting a few more years anyway.
With the matter of the God-Rank Wish Fruit completely settled, the Lords finally had the mind to start discussing other matters.
Four-Leaf didn't leave either. It had stayed in the kingdom for too long and wanted to hear about the various events happening on the continent.
"I've noticed that in recent years, a Foreign Plant Seed called Black Tree has been rampant in the Star Realm."
"I've also made this discovery. They can absorb the vitality of other Plant Seeds to nourish their own growth."
"Some Insectoid Warriors and Beast Race Warriors are even deliberately spreading Black Tree seeds on a large scale. I've seen some mountain forests turn into black forests piece by piece."
"Do they want to cultivate Black Tree God-Given Seeds?"
"This behavior is too terrifying, we have to stop them—"
The Lords looked very serious, facing a plant with a great sense of foreboding for the first time.
Four-Leaf was a little curious. It approached Lord Purple Cloud: "Lord Purple Cloud, is the Black Tree very scary?"
Lord Purple Cloud also looked very serious: "Very scary. It grows by absorbing the vitality of trees, which is very destructive to the natural Star Realm environment."
"Then why are they spreading it so widely?"
"Because some Insectoid Warriors have cultivated Black Trees as Life Seeds. They've discovered that this fruit has the effect of prolonging life."
"Prolonging life?" When Four-Leaf heard this word, it was first shocked, and then its heart began to race wildly.
For Insectoid Warriors, the most coveted thing is lifespan, because as long as there is lifespan, anything is possible. Plant Seeds that can prolong life are even more precious than Soul-type Plant Seeds.
In the Star Realm, there are two types of Plant Seeds that are God-Rank God-Given Seeds from birth: one is Soul-type God-Given Seeds,
and the other is Life-Prolonging God-Given Seeds.
Most Life-Prolonging God-Ranks are mutated from ordinary Plant Seeds, and there are no similar Plant Seeds left at all. The Flame Spider Kingdom has only mastered a few Life-Prolonging Plant Seeds after so many Origin Power cycles.
Four-Leaf was puzzled: "Then isn't this kind of Plant Seed very good? Why do they want to stop them from cultivating Black Trees?"
Flame Spiders have always been known for their smoothness and never easily offend other Insects. Why do they want to do this thankless thing?
Lord Purple Cloud's expression was extremely solemn: "Because eating too many Black Tree fruits has great drawbacks."
"Drawbacks?"
Lord Purple Cloud: "Eating too many Black Tree fruits will reduce the intelligence of intelligent life. The more you eat, the lower your intelligence will be, until you become a life form without intelligence, only knowing how to greedily devour Origin Power."
Four-Leaf listened with goosebumps: "Then they still dare to eat it?"
"Still dare to eat it?"
Lord Purple Cloud said quietly: "When you are trapped by insufficient evolution resources, when you can't see the way forward for evolution,
you will be like a traveler trapped in a quagmire, even if it is a straw falling into the mud, you will firmly grasp it."
"Moreover, many Insectoid Warriors believe that they can grasp the balance in the middle, but unknowingly they become fierce beasts with only instinct left."
"Isn't this too terrible? Is there no solution?"
"There are many solutions. Some Insects eat purification-type God-Given Origin Power food, which can temporarily eliminate negative effects.
Some Insects want to cultivate Black Tree God-Given Seeds, believing that God-Given Seeds should not have such drawbacks.
There are also Insectoid Warriors who come to us, asking us to inquire whether there are Life-type God-Rank fruits. But most methods are only treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Even if there are more Life-type God-Given Origin Power foods with purification effects, they cannot supply the countless Insectoid Warriors who want to prolong their lives."
"Then what should we do?"
Lord Purple Cloud smiled bitterly: "What should we do? We don't know either."
Actually, it's still okay now, the situation is still under control. The biggest problem is in the future. When some Insectoid Warriors advance to Insect Kings, they want to obtain a longer lifespan and constantly eat these fruits.
At that time, the appearance of Insect Kings who have lost their minds and only know how to frantically plunder Origin Power food will be a disaster for the entire Star Realm.
They discussed back and forth but couldn't come up with a result, and the topic shifted to the next matter.
"When can we go to Dragon Bamboo Continent to search?"
Dragon Bamboo Continent and Cloud Trace Continent are both in a period of Origin Power dormancy. According to the maps left by the Flame Spider tribe's ancestors, there are still many good things on the continent that they couldn't take away.
There are also many wild God-Given Seeds left with a fluke mentality, and even God-Rank God-Given Seeds are not uncommon. They might make a fortune by collecting them according to the map.
"Let's wait a little longer. To go to Dragon Bamboo Continent, there are several things that are indispensable. We need to acquire more Cosmic Crystals."
"We have been trying our best to collect them. Fortunately, because the Foreign Starship crashed, there are quite a few Cosmic Crystals, and we can collect some every year."
"Ginkgo, shouldn't we set a time? We can also make some preparations?"
Lord Ginkgo: "Then let's set it at the two hundredth year of the Origin Power cycle recovery. It's more appropriate to go at this time."
"Good!" The Lords agreed one after another, anyway, it's not even two years away from the two hundredth year.
"There's one more thing. Now that there are more Spiders, we can also start developing the Kingdom Forest Sea and cultivate the Kingdom's unique Plant Seeds..."
In the following time, they discussed various matters, and it can be said that each one was related to the future development of the kingdom.
They didn't mind letting Four-Leaf hear it, and even said that they intentionally let it hear it, to cultivate its understanding of kingdom affairs so that it could smoothly take over their positions in the future.
Four-Leaf listened to a lot. It wasn't until everyone had finished discussing the matters that it left with the Spider group. In the following time, it should concentrate on breaking through to the Mountain Lord level.
