Natural God's Gift

Beneath the Sea Soul Fir God-Given Tree, Ginkgo Lord placed the God-Forbidden Box in front of him and opened it, revealing the cyan-green Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed to all the spiders.

Unlike the previous meeting attended by only a dozen or so Lord-level Flame Spiders, this time, as long as the Flame Spiders were Mountain Lord-level or above, and not guarding important locations, they were basically all here.

Currently, there are only thirteen Lord-level Flame Spiders in the kingdom, but there are quite a few Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders. Adding up all six departments of Flame Spiders, there are sixty or seventy, including Dragon Sprout and Iron Wire from the Purple Cloud Merchant Group, as well as Black Glutinous and Snowy, who are not much older than Four-Leaf, and Bai Zhi, who is of the same generation as Four-Leaf.

Yes, that's right, Bai Zhi successfully advanced to Mountain Lord-level this year. Its life seed is one of the top plant seeds in the kingdom, and it also has a share of the Rapeseed Flower God-Given Seed.

In addition, Four-Leaf also provides it with a compensation of 5,000 original stones every year. Coupled with the continuous trips to the Star Sand Islands for trade over the years by their merchant group, the annual trading volume is quite large, which can also bring it original force food worth nearly a square original stone.

With so many basic conditions, it is not very surprising that Bai Zhi advanced to Mountain Lord-level at the age of twenty.

Besides Bai Zhi, Black Glutinous has a good relationship with Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi, and every time Four-Leaf and the others' God-Given Seeds have output, they will share a little with it to open up trade routes.

In addition, Black Glutinous itself is also an extremely business-minded spider. Relying on the kingdom's and Four-Leaf's exclusive God-Given Original Force Food, it has also made many friends outside, obtained the trading rights for several God-Given Original Force Foods, and developed quite smoothly.

Bai Zhi counted the number of spiders present and whispered to Four-Leaf: "Four-Leaf, there are 76 Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders and 13 Lord-level Flame Spiders here. Our kingdom is strong."

Four-Leaf gently tapped Bai Zhi with its chelicerae, signaling it not to speak. In the first hundred years of the Flame Spider Kingdom, the concentration of original force on the Ten Thousand Race Continent was not very strong, and the probability of Flame Spider warriors being born was not high.

In recent decades, the concentration of original force on the continent has reached the standard line of each original force reincarnation period, and the number of young Flame Spiders they raise has also greatly increased, reaching nearly one billion.

Although most of them are only free-range within the kingdom's territory, it is still very remarkable. On this base, even if the probability of a young Flame Spider warrior being born is one in a billion, at least ten young Flame Spiders awaken every year.

Some things can be seen. In recent years, the number of high-level Flame Spider warriors in the kingdom is more than the number of Flame Spider warriors in the other several realms combined.

As time slowly accumulates, it is estimated that in another hundred years, the number of Mountain Lords in the kingdom will gradually increase in this ratio.

Because it only takes an average of three years for a primary warrior to advance to an intermediate warrior, three to four years for an intermediate warrior to advance to a high-level warrior, and twenty to thirty years for a high-level warrior to advance to a Mountain Lord.

It takes at least thirty to forty years for a Mountain Lord-level to advance to a Lord-level, and some may not be able to evolve successfully in their entire lives, like Torch and Green Land. When Four-Leaf was still a primary Flame Spider warrior, they were Mountain Lord-level. When Four-Leaf and the others advanced to Mountain Lord-level, they were still Mountain Lords. This is not just one or two examples.

Some Mountain Lords are hundreds of years apart. With so much accumulation, the number is conceivable.

This is also because the Flame Spider Kingdom is too wealthy. Primary and intermediate young warriors are supported by the kingdom, and only become self-reliant in the high-level warrior stage. There are also various top plant seeds as life seeds.

Even the Five Department Flame Spiders, who do not have life seeds, will be initially subsidized with 100,000 original stones by the kingdom, and there are various God-Given Original Force Foods for them to choose from.

High-level warriors have a lifespan of more than one hundred years, and only enter old age after the age of fifty. They can advance to the high-level stage at the age of seven or eight, and have more than forty years to ponder how to advance from a high-level warrior to a Mountain Lord.

It can be said that as long as they are not too useless, they can basically be promoted to Mountain Lord.

As for the Lord-level, it is not so easy to evolve. If the financial resources are slightly insufficient, they may be trapped in the Mountain Lord-level for a lifetime.

Under the tree, the Flame Spider warriors looked at the Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed in the God-Forbidden Box, and their breathing was a little rapid. The God-Given Seed has a great attraction to insect warriors, and the God-Rank God-Given Seed amplifies this attraction a hundredfold.

"Everyone," Ginkgo Lord placed its front legs on the God-Forbidden Box and looked up at the spiders present: "This Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed is the kingdom's second God-Rank God-Given Seed. I believe everyone knows this news."

"There is something that everyone may not know. This God-Given Seed was also found by Four-Leaf."

"Ah?" Everyone was really surprised to hear this. It was fine that Four-Leaf had a God-Rank Lucky Clover, but it also found the Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed. What kind of heaven-defying luck is this?

Two God-Rank God-Given Seeds! They would be satisfied if they could find one in their lifetime. At this moment, all the spiders were a little envious.

Ginkgo Lord continued: "Everyone also knows the kingdom's rules. If a God-Rank God-Given Seed is found, the kingdom will recover it and, as a reward, give the insect warrior who found the God-Rank God-Given Seed the output value of the God-Given Seed in its peak state for the next five hundred years."

"That's right," the Flame Spiders led by Lords Plantain and Wind Hyacinth had no objection. This rule was established by the kingdom a long time ago.

In fact, it is not only God-Rank God-Given Seeds, but all God-Given Seeds collected by the Flame Spiders and turned over to the kingdom, whether they are herbaceous or woody God-Given Seeds, are priced according to the average annual output during the king-level period, multiplied by 500 years.

Ginkgo Lord: "Now there is a small problem. The price of a single God-Rank Dragon Bamboo Fruit is a bit high. Calculating the output for 500 years, the price will reach at least 1.5 billion original stones. Even if it is given in five hundred years, it will be 3 million original stones per year."

Because we spent a little too much on various God-Given Original Force Foods when purchasing God-Given Seeds in the previous ten years, the kingdom is currently a little strained to repay it."

Everyone: "..—"

During the previous period, everyone frantically purchased God-Given Seeds, and the borrowed amount reached more than a billion original stones. Four-Leaf alone owed 800 million original stones, not to mention the other large and small woody God-Given Seeds that were purchased, which seriously overdrawn the kingdom's trade potential.

Furthermore, when other original species Flame Spiders advance to the Mountain Lord-level, they must be given at least one God-Given Seed as a guarantee, otherwise Four-Leaf would have so many God-Given Seeds, and they would not have even one, which would cause resentment and would not be conducive to unity.

Although the debt for purchasing God-Given Seeds in recent years is repaid over a period of 300-500 years, it has also caused most of the original force food reserves of the kingdom to be spent, and the remaining ones are afraid to be touched.

Moreover, their kingdom does not only have transactions for God-Given Seeds. Transactions for various original force foods are the main part. When the Five Department Flame Spiders of the kingdom advance to the high-level stage, they also need to subsidize 100,000 original stones, and so on, all of which require money.

Their kingdom has 12 king-level wild God-Given Trees that were migrated from the Dragon Bamboo Continent. These dozen or so are all top-level large woody God-Given Trees, with an average annual output of 700,000+ original stones.

Original force revived 200 years ago. The first thirty years were spent raising the trees, and they only began to produce after thirty years. In the 170 years, they have only saved God-Given Original Force Food worth about 1.5 billion original stones.

As for the other wild God-Given Seeds, they were only sown during this original force reincarnation period. In the face of hundreds of millions of them, their output can basically be ignored.

Now, a Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed will empty the family's wealth. Not to mention that the Flame Spiders will not agree, even the many king-level wild God-Given Trees will not agree.

As for letting Four-Leaf use the reward for finding the Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed to repay its own debt, this idea only flashed in the minds of many Flame Spiders before they dismissed it.

The value of God-Rank fruits is certainly higher than the value of God-Given Original Force Food, but God-Rank fruits are destined to not be popularized. Even some king-level insect warriors may not be able to afford God-Rank fruits, which limits the sale of God-Rank fruits.

Relatively speaking, God-Given Original Force Food is the top-level evolutionary resource pursued by the masses.

Currently, the kingdom is using the output of God-given Origin Force food to subsidize the expenditure on trading God-given seeds. This is equivalent to overdrawing the future trading potential. If Si Ye doesn't repay this God-given Origin Force food, it will affect everyone's future trade routes.

After all, the number of Flame Spider warriors is scarce now, and the God-given Origin Force food stored over the years can be used for payment. When there are more Flame Spider warriors in the future, and there are no kingdom reserves, the trade routes will definitely be affected.

"Ginkgo, then how do you think we should compensate Si Ye?" Since they couldn't pay 1.5 billion Origin Stones, and couldn't use God-given Origin Force food for compensation, Che Qian and the others didn't know how to solve it.

However, since Ginkgo summoned everyone here to discuss this matter, he must have a solution.

Lord Ginkgo pondered for a moment and said: "I have looked through the kingdom's historical records. In the history of the Flame Spider Kingdom, 65 Origin Force reincarnation periods ago, a similar event occurred.

At that time, a Flame Spider warrior had two God-grade God-given seeds born within their territory. After handing them over to the kingdom, the resources received as compensation were seriously excessive.

For certain reasons, the kingdom at that time came up with a solution to this problem. The first God-grade God-given seed was compensated with God-given Origin Force food and other materials based on 1000 years of output."

"As for the second God-grade God-given seed, it was mortgaged to that Flame Spider warrior."

"Mortgaged?" The Flame Spiders collectively expressed their doubts through mental communication.

"That is, to give the God-grade God-given seed to them for planting, but not to be nurtured into a Life Seed. During its time in the Star Realm, all the output of the God-grade God-given seed belongs to them."

The spiders were speechless. It would take a wild God-given seed four to five hundred years, or even nearly a thousand years, to be promoted to the King level.

The lifespan of a Insect King-level insectoid warrior is only about a thousand years. Although reaching the Insect King level also has an aging period,

it doesn't really affect promotion much.

The biggest issue affecting age-related promotion is the condensation of Divine Runes. The older one gets, the more they are rejected by the Star Realm's laws, making it harder to condense Divine Runes. After seven hundred years old, there is basically no possibility of condensing Divine Runes anymore. Most Insect Kings will complete all nine age-related promotions before the age of seven hundred and leave the Star Realm.

Si Ye is already a Mountain Lord level. Now, letting them cultivate a wild God-grade God-given seed, it is estimated that they may not be able to cultivate the wild God-grade God-given seed to the King level even by the time they leave the Star Realm.

This plan is not as good as compensating 500 years of output as in the original plan.

Lord Ginkgo probably guessed what everyone was thinking, and he looked at Si Ye: "Of course, the kingdom will not let you suffer a loss. There is a God-given item called Soul Soil in the kingdom's treasury, which can awaken the soul consciousness of the God-given seed in advance and accelerate the evolution speed. As long as the Origin Force and nutrition can keep up, accelerating half of the evolution speed is not a problem."

The biggest difference between a wild God-given seed and an insectoid warrior's God-given Life Seed lies in the soul consciousness. A God-given seed without soul consciousness can only rely on instinct to absorb natural Origin Force and nutrition to grow.

A God-given seed with soul consciousness can absorb natural Origin Force and grow on its own. If there are various Origin Force and Origin Energy supplements, then it is no different from a normal insectoid warrior and can also accelerate the promotion speed.

It's just that treasures that can allow God-given seeds to produce soul consciousness in advance are too precious, and few insectoid warriors are willing to use them to advance the output by a few hundred years.

Lord Ginkgo added: "If the output value does not reach 1.5 billion Origin Stones by then, the kingdom will make up the difference."

The core purpose of him saying so much is to delay compensating Si Ye with Origin Stones, and it is best to postpone this debt to hundreds of years later.

Otherwise, the kingdom will bear a nearly three to four billion Origin Stone deficit. If this number is spoken out, even if he leaves the Star Realm in the future, he will be beaten to death by the kingdom's former Spider Kings!

He had calculated these accounting problems during the waiting period for the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed to mature, and had explored Si Ye's thoughts. At the same time, he had also communicated with many King-level wild God-given seeds, and they had no problems here.

Because the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed is the property of the entire kingdom, and because the growth rate of wild God-given seeds is relatively slow, it will take about two to three hundred years before the God-given seed can bloom and bear fruit.

At that time in the future, he will probably have retired, and the Mountain Lords present should be the ones who will be in charge of the kingdom's affairs. They will also be the ones who will be able to eat the God-grade Dragon Bamboo fruit.

In order to avoid future conflicts and gaps between them, Lord Ginkgo still summoned all the Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders to hold a meeting and let them raise their claws to vote on whether to agree to this plan.

If they disagree, then the first plan will be followed, compensating Si Ye with 1.5 billion Origin Stones, taking out 700 million to repay the kingdom, and the interest will still be calculated as an exception.

Lord Ginkgo said: "Mortgaging the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed to Si Ye to repay the debt, and returning the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed to the kingdom after Si Ye leaves the Star Realm, does everyone have any questions about this proposal?

"Yes," a Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider asked: "Lord Ginkgo, how will the purchase rights and prices be calculated when we want to eat God-grade fruits in the future?"

Lord Ginkgo: "Naturally, it will be according to the kingdom's rules. The kingdom will have priority in eating God-grade fruits, and the purchase price will be calculated at 20% off."

"Then I have no problem." Since there is no change in the purchase rights and prices, it makes no difference to them whether the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed is cultivated by the kingdom or by Si Ye.

Lord Ginkgo: "Very well, those who agree with this plan, raise your front legs."

"..." Most of the Flame Spiders raised their front legs. Under the circumstances that it did not affect their own interests,

they would basically remain neutral. Raising their front legs was a neutral attitude.

Lord Ginkgo counted and found that as many as sixty or seventy Flame Spiders had raised their claws, and only a few had not moved, but that didn't matter.

"Since everyone agrees, then the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed will be mortgaged to Si Ye."

This topic came to an end, and Lord Ginkgo brought up the next topic: "This year is the two hundredth year of the Origin Force revival,

and the kingdom's centennial grand banquet will be held. The kingdom will take out two million Origin Stones to hold the grand ceremony, Ba Leng,

you assign tasks to everyone, and everyone go and prepare!"

"Si Ye and the Lords stay behind, there are other matters to discuss."

"Hooray," some Mountain Lords who had just been promoted not long ago and were not very stable cheered. Holding a grand banquet with two million Origin Stones was a huge expenditure.

The Mountain Lords left the kingdom's abyss and followed Mountain Lord Ba Leng's arrangements for their respective tasks.

Only the Lords and Si Ye were left in place.

"Ginkgo, is there anything else?" Lord Che Qian asked.

Lord Ginkgo moved half a step away and gestured towards the tree behind him: "The Sea Soul Fir God-given seed has something to say."

"Sea Soul Fir God-given seed?" The Lords were puzzled. The God-given seeds in the kingdom rarely spoke unless it was related to the future development direction of the kingdom.

"It's me," the Sea Soul Fir God-given seed emitted a faint mental message: "This plan of Ginkgo's to mortgage the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed to Si Ye has been approved by me."

"Oh," everyone didn't know what the Sea Soul Fir God-given seed wanted to say, and they didn't object to this plan!

Sea Soul Fir God-given seed: "In addition to alleviating the kingdom's financial pressure by mortgaging the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed to Si Ye, I also have an idea in my mind."

"? ? ?" The Lords waited for the Sea Soul Fir God-given seed to continue.

Sea Soul Fir God-given seed: "According to the kingdom's records, in the history of the Star Realm, there is a Law God-given seed called Giant Dragon Bamboo, which is a Law God-grade God-given seed promoted on the basis of the Dragon Bamboo God-given seed."

"And then?" The Lords felt that they had vaguely guessed some of the Sea Soul Fir God-given seed's ideas.

Sea Soul Fir God-given seed: "I was thinking, since the God-grade Wishing Fruit can produce God-grade fruits with the help of ordinary God-given seeds, could the God-grade Wishing Fruit plus the God-grade Dragon Bamboo God-given seed produce a Law God-grade Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit?"

"Ah?" Many Lords were shocked by this crazy idea of the Sea Soul Fir God-given seed.
