Natural God's Gift

After several days of traveling day and night, the Ziyun Merchant Troupe finally returned to the kingdom before the winter gathering.

"Ziyun, you're back a bit late this year."

"Yes, we were delayed by some matters on the road."

"Mountain Lord Ziyun, I'd like to exchange for some primal force food that strengthens carapace wings. Do you have any?"

"Yes, find Torch later to exchange."

"Ziyun, did you obtain any new God-given food trading rights this year?"

As soon as Ziyun returned to the Flame Spider Kingdom, Flame Spiders everywhere greeted it. Some offered greetings, some discussed exchanging primal force food, and some wanted to brag together.

"Ziyun knows so many insects!" Siyue exclaimed. It had never seen so many spiders in its life, and it never expected Ziyun to know them all.

"Hehe," Torch said triumphantly, "Our merchant troupe does a lot of business, and we have trade relations with the lords of all the major tribes. We trade a lot of primal force food, so naturally we're familiar with many spiders."

"Oh, oh," Siyue listened with some confusion, but still politely nodded its head to show that it understood.

After Ziyun walked to the Dulai Flame Spider gathering place and put down the goods on its back, it said calmly, "Ludi, you stay here. Torch and I will take the small primal spiders to find Lord Qingfeng."

"Okay," Ludi handed Siyue a small spider silk bag containing the God-given morning glory seed.

Ziyun and Torch carried Siyue and the small primal spiders to the primal spider gathering place. They also had a primal force food exchange agreement with some primal spider warriors, so they could directly find familiar spiders.

"Lord Qingfeng," primal spiders are no different from other insect races. They all manage a large territory, cultivate seeds, and plant life seeds. Therefore, the area they occupy is the largest in the kingdom. The other Flame Spider races have no objection to this, because only a large area can cultivate high-quality life seeds, and even God-given seeds, which can supply the Flame Spiders' growth and evolution.

"Ziyun, Torch."

Lord Qingfeng was a primal spider warrior with a leg span of three to four meters. Compared to it, Ziyun and Torch, the two mountain lord-level Flame Spiders, were just tiny specks. Siyue was even harder to see.

Ziyun handed a large spider silk bag to Lord Qingfeng: "Lord Qingfeng, this is the wood-type primal force food we exchanged this year. It also contains twenty lord-level God-given White Flower Honey Peach fruit kernels."

"White Flower Honey Peach?" Lord Qingfeng pondered slightly. The White Flower Honey Peach imparted wood-type elemental enhancement, and primal spider warriors had wood-type talents, so Ziyun had specially exchanged it.

"Ziyun, you've worked hard. Later, go to my place and take some God-given Qingfeng fruits to prepare for next year's trade."

"Okay!"

"Lord Qingfeng, look at what this is?" Seeing that the two spiders had finished talking, Torch couldn't wait to point to the carapace and show it to Lord Qingfeng.

Lord Qingfeng said indifferently, "What's so strange about small primal spiders? There are plenty of them on the mountain. Torch, don't carry them around recklessly, be careful not to step on them."

Torch quickly explained, "No, Lord Qingfeng, these are not the small primal spiders from the mountain. These are the small primal spiders we encountered on the way back with the merchant troupe. We even found a primal spider warrior."

"Lord Qingfeng, hello." Siyue stood on top of Ziyun's head, waving its chelicerae to greet Lord Qingfeng.

Lord Qingfeng scanned with its mental energy and only then noticed Siyue on top of Ziyun's head. There was no helping it, it was just too small.

"A first-instar elementary warrior, Ziyun, did you find it? Has the life seed been chosen?"

Torch rushed to say, "Our merchant troupe found it together. The little warrior is lucky. When we found it, it was guarding a God-given trifoliate clover fruit. When it evolved into a primal force warrior, it just happened to incorporate it into its life sac."

"God-given seed?" Lord Qingfeng's eyes lit up one by one. "What a lucky little fellow! Trifoliate clover? Wood-type ability enhancement? Not bad."

"Yes, yes, Siyue is so lucky that it makes insects jealous. On the way back to the kingdom, it also found a God-given morning glory seed. Ziyun said to keep it in reserve as a second-instar life seed."

"There's also a second God-given seed?" Lord Qingfeng was really a little surprised. Every God-given seed was a gift from the God of Nature. This little primal spider was able to possess two God-given seeds in its first instar. How favored was it by the God of Nature?

"Yes, thank the God of Nature for allowing me to obtain the second God-given seed."

"Good, but God-given seeds grow slowly and cannot bring benefits in the short term. You are only a first-instar little warrior and need to evolve quickly, otherwise you will age."

Insect warriors mainly rely on eating food produced by life seeds to grow. The amount of primal force food that a life seed can produce determines an insect's level of evolution, and the primal force food produced by God-given seeds is called God-given primal force food, which is dozens of times more valuable than the primal force food produced by the same type of plant.

"Yes, I feel that the God-given seed I am nurturing is constantly devouring my primal force, leaving me with little primal force to evolve."

"It is indeed a bit difficult for a first-instar little warrior to nurture a God-given seed, but it doesn't matter, I will provide you with primal force food."

Lord Qingfeng walked to one of its life seed trees, picked a fruit about the same size as Siyue, and handed it to Siyue: "This is a prune. Its function is to enhance the rate at which the body absorbs primal force. Eat more of it and you can accelerate the primal force absorption rate of your life sac."

The fruits produced by life seed plants are not born naturally. They do not have vitality and cannot grow if planted, but they themselves possess powerful primal energy properties. They are essential primal force foods for insect warriors to grow and evolve, and many life seed plants have their own attributes, some of which can perfectly match the talents of insect warriors.

Prunes are a Wood-elemental force food, and the original Flame Spider happens to possess Wood-elemental talent potential, so the two can perfectly match.

"Thank you, Lord Qingfeng," Si Ye laboriously hugged the elemental force fruit, which was as big as itself, with its six spider legs, and said seriously, "Lord Qingfeng, how much does this fruit of yours cost? I'll return it to you after my life seed produces fruit."

Lord Qingfeng said amiably, "Little one, this is an elemental force food I'm giving you, you don't need to return it."

"But," Si Ye was a little puzzled, "Zi Yun said that a bug shouldn't get something for nothing, otherwise it will develop a lazy, pleasure-seeking, and dependent personality."

"Zi Yun is also right, a bug must diligently and earnestly cultivate, but you are still young. Although you weren't born in my territory, you are my kin and my junior. Taking care of you is what I should do. An elder's care for a junior has nothing to do with benefits, so you can eat the elemental force food I give you without worry."

"Oh," Si Ye was confused, not knowing who was right between Mountain Lord Zi Yun and Lord Qingfeng, but Qingfeng is a Lord, with a higher level of evolution, so what it says should be more correct, right?

"Leave Si Ye and the other little original spiders here for me to take care of."

"Okay," Zi Yun used spider silk to tie Si Ye together with the elemental force prune and lowered them from its head.

"Lord Qingfeng, where do you plan to have Si Ye take root?"

"Currently, there are only two Lord-level original spiders in the kingdom, Ginkgo and I, so there's not much safety guarantee. I want it to take root near me, but according to the inherited memories, the distance between God-given seeds should be at least one kilometer. It also has two God-given seeds, so I can only divide the ten square kilometers of land next to me to Si Ye."

Torch was happy after hearing this, "That's great, Si Ye will live next to Lord Qingfeng, we can come over to play with Si Ye anytime."

"Lord Qingfeng, I wonder if any new little Flame Spiders have been born this year?" Si Ye's territory was arranged, and Zi Yun began to inquire about other matters.

"A new little warrior of the Garden Flame Spider has been born..." Several spiders began to discuss matters within the kingdom.

Si Ye landed on the ground and couldn't get a word in, just quietly listening to them talk, while also not forgetting to hug the big prune and gnaw on it.

"Mmm, sour and sweet, delicious!"

The prune was eaten little by little, and the elemental force contained in the fruit circulated in its body, then gradually submerged into its life sac. The spiders were chatting happily, and no one noticed Si Ye's little actions.

It wasn't until Si Ye was full and fell on its back on the ground that the spiders turned their attention to it.

"This spider..." Zi Yun couldn't help but laugh when it saw Si Ye's appearance.

"It actually ate the entire prune flesh, won't it burst?" Torch was a little worried.

Lord Qingfeng checked it and felt relieved, "It's okay, the little warrior is breaking through."

"But it only became a little warrior more than ten days ago, isn't it too fast?"

"That's indeed a bit rushed." Generally, it is easier for a first-age little warrior to break through, and they can break through by absorbing some elemental force from nature. It would be even easier if they ate some elemental force food. Those who are taken care of by elders can break through in about twenty to thirty days. Zi Yun and the others have also given it a little elemental force food to eat these past ten days. If I had known, I would have been more cautious and not given it elemental force food.

"Prepare some primal stones, Si Ye may need them when it breaks through."

"Understood." Zi Yun kicked Torch with its hind legs, signaling it to go get them.

"Why do you always ask me to do everything?" Torch muttered, but still went to the green area and brought over a hundred primal stones: "A hundred should be enough, right?"

"Enough." Zi Yun glared at this silly spider, how many primal stones does a little warrior need to break through?

Insect warriors mainly evolve by relying on the elemental force stored in their bodies, and only require a small portion of elemental force from the outside world.

The three spiders waited from day to night. The sparse stars in the sky shone with faint light. They were all a little strange. How could it take so long for a first-age little warrior to break through?

After waiting for a while, until midnight, Lord Qingfeng and the others discovered that the elemental force around them seemed to be rioting, and the elemental force within a radius of dozens of meters began to pour into Si Ye's body.

"What's going on?" The spiders were a little surprised. How could a little warrior's breakthrough cause such a big commotion? This is directly drawing the surrounding dozens of meters into an elemental force vacuum. Even a Mountain Lord doesn't cause such a big commotion, right?

At this time, Qingfeng seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "Crush the primal stones and let Si Ye absorb them all, then go get some more."

Zi Yun calmly ordered, "Torch, you crush all the primal stones, and I'll go get another five thousand primal stones from the green area."

"Okay," Torch also knew that this was not the time to joke. With a jab of its spider leg, a string of primal stones burst open, turning into pure elemental force that was absorbed by Si Ye into its life sac.

The green area wasn't too far from them. They quickly noticed the commotion here and came over with the goods. The four spiders crushed primal stones together, allowing Si Ye to absorb them for half an hour before stopping.

"Lord Qingfeng," Seeing that Si Ye hadn't woken up yet, Zi Yun was a little worried, "Why did Si Ye's breakthrough to a little warrior cause such a big commotion? What's going on?"

Qingfeng's expression was complicated, and it said faintly, "If the tribal records are correct, the three-leaf clover God-given seed that Si Ye is nurturing may be a Divine-grade God-given seed!"
