Natural God's Gift

As autumn arrived, Siyi had traveled thousands of kilometers across the Zhibai Continent in five months, entering a dozen tribes of varying sizes.

The name of Mountain Lord Siyi had quietly begun to spread among these tribes. Everyone knew that there was a Mountain Lord-level Iridescent Flame Spider with considerable strength, who only traded Lord-level Origin Power foods and God-given Origin Power foods.

Siyi had completed a trade with the Rixian Cricket Tribe, and the Flame Spider merchant who had also completed a trade here was preparing to leave. Before leaving, he politely greeted Siyi: "Mountain Lord Siyi, we are preparing to return to the kingdom. Would you like to return with us?"

Siyi pondered for a moment and said, "You go back first, I still have some matters to attend to and may not return so soon."

"Alright, we'll leave first." This merchant caravan slowly left the territory of the Rixian Cricket Tribe with large packages of goods.

Siyi watched them leave. During this time, it had traveled through various tribes, deliberately avoiding the Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe. The other Flame Spider merchants only thought it was a Mountain Lord with considerable strength within the Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe and didn't find it particularly unusual.

In fact, it really wanted to visit the Flame Spider ancestral land over there to see if it could see the legendary Huan.

However, after inquiring about many things here for half a year, it still needed to go back and communicate with the Ginkgo Spider King to prepare for returning to the ancestral land, so it wouldn't go over there for the time being.

Siyi turned its body and walked towards the west. It was almost time for it to return.

On the way back, it didn't need to inquire about news or make trades, so it no longer concealed itself.

After leaving the territory of the Rixian Cricket Tribe, it directly unleashed its flying ability.

Flying in the air without obstacles, it flew towards the Divine Power Barrier at an extremely fast speed.

It only took a day for it to reach the Divine Power Barrier between the Zhibai Continent and the Myriad Kingdoms Continent.

Then, it carefully searched again and found the mark it had left near the Divine Power Barrier when it came over before.

It came to a pile of stones arranged in a four-leaf shape. Previously, it had hidden the passage behind the stone pile.

Immediately, it changed the color of its body, restored it to cyan, crossed the stone pile, and entered the Divine Power Barrier again. It passed through the Divine Power Barrier very smoothly and returned to the Fang Kingdom Continent.

Here, the Ginkgo Spider King had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Siyi return at the agreed time, it was also extremely happy.

The Ginkgo Spider King happily said, "Siyi, welcome back! Was this trip smooth?"

Siyi responded with a smile, "This trip was quite smooth. I inquired about a lot of news about the Zhibai Continent."

"Really?" Hearing Siyi say this, the Ginkgo Spider King was also very surprised.

So it said, "Let's go, let's go, let's go back to the kingdom and consult with the King-level God-given species."

The two spiders didn't delay and went straight through the Myriad Kingdoms Continent to the ocean between the Myriad Kingdoms Continent and the Myriad Races Continent.

The starship was located on a small island in the ocean. Both sides were vast oceans. The Flame Spider merchants had made two large ships, one on the Myriad Kingdoms Continent side and one on the Myriad Races Continent side.

In previous years, every spring, the Flame Spider merchants would take a boat from the Flame Spider Kingdom to the starship, then cross the starship and take a boat to the Myriad Kingdoms Continent.

This year was the same, except that this year they were slightly delayed for a few days. When they saw the Ginkgo Spider King and Siyi rushing back, everyone immediately cheered.

"Sail, sail!" After Siyi and Ginkgo boarded the ship, the Flame Spider warriors couldn't wait to set sail.

"Siyi, why are you also on the Myriad Kingdoms Continent?" Some Flame Spiders who didn't know the inside story curiously looked at Siyi.

"Go, go, go, what's it to you? Get out of here, get out of here." The Lord-level Flame Spiders raised their forelegs and knocked them one by one, driving them to the other end of the ship.

Only Cheqian, Fengxin, Ziyun, and Chuipen and a few other Lord-level Flame Spiders were left in place.

At this time, the Ginkgo Spider King said: "Ziyun, Chuipen, Yiyi, you go and keep watch, I have something to discuss with Cheqian and the others."

Several Lords slightly flinched: "Can't we listen either?"

"It's useless to listen too much, you'll be told when the time is right."

"Oh." Several Lords left somewhat dejectedly.

After they had all left, the Ginkgo Spider King raised its forelegs, and its mental thoughts spread out, forming a mental barrier that covered the entire stern.

Seeing that the mental barrier had formed, the Ginkgo Spider King couldn't wait to ask: "Siyi, we were rushing on the road just now,

we didn't have time to chat about anything. Now you can tell us what the situation is on the Zhibai Continent."

"What?" Hearing the Ginkgo Spider King's words, Lord Cheqian and Lord Fengxin were quite shocked. The Ginkgo Spider King had only asked them to wait here, and it had gone to pick up Siyi, but they really didn't know that Siyi had actually run to the opposite Zhibai Continent.

"Siyi, you went to the Zhibai Continent? How did you get there? Has Origin Power recovered over there too?"

Several Flame Spider Lords asked questions in turn. For a moment, it didn't know who to answer first.

It sorted out the questions they asked and then said: "Let me start from the beginning. At the beginning of the year, the Ginkgo Spider King and I experimented and found that I could walk freely in the Divine Power Barrier, so we planned to go to the Zhibai Continent to see the situation there."

"As planned, I passed through the Divine Power Barrier and arrived at the opposite Zhibai Continent. I found that the Origin Power on that continent had also recovered, and the time of recovery was about the same as ours."

"Is that so? That's great." The Ginkgo Spider King excitedly waved its forelegs. Sure enough, their predictions were correct. Star Realm Origin Power had indeed fully recovered.

"Then do they also have insect tribes and Flame Spider merchants over there?"

"Yes," Siyi said seriously: "Moreover, the strength of the insect tribes there is far stronger than the strength of the Myriad Races Continent. The number of Flame Spider merchants there also far exceeds that of our Myriad Races Continent. Even the number of Spider Kings I've heard of is no less than five."

Everyone was very surprised: "Origin Power has only just recovered for not long, how could so many Spider Kings be born among the Flame Spider merchants over there?"

The Ginkgo Spider King had some guesses in its heart after hearing this, but it didn't say them out. Some things are useless to say too much.

Some insects think that there's no need to be secretive, and some secrets can be shared with the same race, and it's better to communicate with each other.

In fact, it's not that simple. Even the Ginkgo Spider King itself may not be able to eat the God-tier Merchant Route Fruit, let alone Cheqian and Fengxin.

What's the use of talking about fruits that can't be eaten? It's just adding to the other party's troubles.

Moreover, if it thinks that Cheqian and Fengxin are trustworthy and tells them the secret, then do they also have juniors? Do they also think their juniors are trustworthy and tell their juniors? Do their juniors also have juniors? Do they also have reliable friends? In the end, is a secret still a secret?

Rather than spreading the secret everywhere, it's better to stop the news from the source.

Siyi then took out some God-given King Orchid Seeds from the spider silk bag on its carapace and handed them to the two Lords and the Spider King:

"These are God-given King Orchid Seeds, a specialty of the King Orchid Continent."

Hearing Siyi say this, several high-level Flame Spiders immediately realized: "So, the King Orchid Continent and the Zhibai Continent are also connected?"

"Yes," Siyi said: "As for the Thousand Tree Continent and the Thousand Mound Continent, I didn't inquire specifically."

Lord Cheqian said: "Then Siyi, can we contact the Flame Spider merchants of the other lineage?

If we can contact them, it would be equivalent to saying that we have mastered the merchant trade of the six continents of the Star Realm,

then our Flame Spider Kingdom can prosper greatly!"

The Ginkgo Spider King didn't tell them its and Siyi's plan, so they naturally wouldn't know the Ginkgo Spider King's intentions.

Siyi declined: "Only I can pass through the Divine Power Barrier, and the carrying capacity of a single spider is limited,

I'm afraid it won't be easy to increase the strength of our Flame Spider Kingdom through large-scale trade."

"Is that so," Lord Cheqian smacked his lips with regret, but he didn't know what to say.

The Ginkgo Spider King said: "We still need to continue to accumulate strength. Now we have trade routes to four continents, and Siyi can also trade for various God-given Origin Power foods from the neighboring continent.

This is equivalent to saying that we are growing with the trading potential of six continents. I believe that we will soon catch up with the Flame Spider merchants of the other lineage."

"Yes," Hearing the Ginkgo Spider King's words, the two Lords also cheered up. The merchant trade of six continents, how much profit would that be?

As long as they get their hands on God-given Origin Power foods and turn around and resell them, the profits would be enough to drive insects crazy.

The Flame Spider merchants sailed the large ship to where the starship was located, and then they transferred to the ships on the Myriad Races Continent side,

and sailed all the way back to the Flame Spider Kingdom.

Back in the Flame Spider Kingdom, Ginkgo, Cheqian, and the others didn't go to other places, but went directly to where the Kingdom Abyss was located,

They still needed to continue discussing the arrangements after connecting the six continents.

The reason for coming to the Kingdom Abyss was because some matters still needed to be consulted with the King-level wild God-given species.

They came to the Kingdom Abyss and ran directly to the God-given Sea Soul Fir tree, leaving Qingfeng behind and dismissing the other spiders.

The God-given Sea Soul Fir used Origin Power to form a Soul-based Barrier. Only the mental thoughts of the King-level could break through this barrier and chat freely.

"Siyi, you're back? Ginkgo said in the middle of the year that you had successfully entered the Zhibai Continent. How is it over there?"

Siyi felt seven or eight powerful mental thoughts sweeping over its body.

Various mental thoughts collided back and forth, making its head hurt.

Si Ye immediately recounted everything she had seen and heard on the Zhibai Continent.

The other God-given species didn't say anything, but the Amethyst Grape God-given species snorted, "I didn't expect your Flame Spider Merchant lineage to have such a deep foundation. If your two branches were to unite, wouldn't you be able to dominate the Star Realm directly?"

The Ginkgo Spider King shook its sensory appendages: "We Flame Spiders love peace and wouldn't do such a thing."

Dominating the Star Realm is easy, just having claws is enough, but what happens after dominating the Star Realm?

Suppressing other insectoid warriors? How would Origin Force food be produced? Can you suppress them temporarily, can you suppress them forever?

Rather than implementing a slave system to restrict the development of insectoid warriors, it's better to prioritize peace, fair trade, cooperation, and mutual benefit to grow bigger and stronger.

Lord Qingfeng said with a hint of pride: "Amethyst Grape, you used to complain that we shouldn't have taken you away from the Lijing Turtle Kingdom. Now, have you seen the strength of our Flame Spider Kingdom?"

"Even if we didn't take you away from the Lijing Turtle Kingdom, you would still have difficulty surviving the next Origin Force cycle's dormancy period."

"Hmph," the Amethyst Grape God-given species let out a cold snort with an ambiguous meaning.

The Ginkgo Spider King didn't pay much attention to the Amethyst Grape God-given species' dissatisfaction. Wild God-given species don't have things like tribal ties.

It stayed in the Lijing Turtle Kingdom for ten thousand years, so it has deep feelings for the Lijing Turtle Kingdom. If it stays in the Flame Spider Kingdom for eighteen thousand years, will it still choose the Lijing Turtle Kingdom then?

The Ginkgo Spider King said: "Dear God-given species, I would like to use a batch of God-given Origin Force food to help the lords in the kingdom quickly advance to the King level."

"Use God-given Origin Force food? How much do you need?"

The Ginkgo Spider King said: "Ten billion Origin Stones."

"What? What did you say? Do you think we are all Divine-grade God-given species?

Before the Sea Soul Fir God-given species could react, the mental thoughts of the other God-given species on the mountain erupted towards the Ginkgo Spider King.

"We produce 600,000 to 800,000 Origin Stones of God-given Origin Force food a year. Even after a hundred years, that's only 60 million God-given Origin Force food. How dare you ask for ten billion Origin Stones?

Are you trying to overdraft our output for the next two thousand years? Does the Flame Spider Kingdom still need to exist? Are you planning to rebel?"

The Yellow Pouch Durian God-given species on the mountain sprayed indiscriminately, affecting Si Ye who was standing aside: "In recent years, nearly ten billion Origin Stones have already been overdrafted to collect God-given species for this stupid spider, Si Ye. Now you want to overdraft another ten billion Origin Stones?

Are you planning to empty out the Flame Spider Kingdom?"

Many King-level God-given species began to scold angrily.

The Emerald Apricot God-given species said amiably: "Everyone, stop arguing. Let me say a fair word. All the spiders above the Lord level in the kingdom are trash and have no value in being cultivated. Just wait to die!"

Ginkgo Spider King: "...—"

Lord Cheqian, Lord Fengxin, Lord Qingfeng: "...—."

You're really fair!

The Ginkgo Spider King was somewhat embarrassed by the scolding from the God-given species and didn't dare to respond for a while.

After the God-given species had scolded enough, the Sea Soul Fir God-given species released its mental thoughts to suppress the spiritual power of all the God-given species: "Quiet, listen to what Ginkgo has to say!"

The Sea Soul Fir God-given species was still quite powerful. It suppressed the mental thoughts of the God-given species, and they immediately didn't dare to say anything more.

The Ginkgo Spider King then said somewhat dejectedly: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you all so excited?"

Its mental thoughts vibrated: "The entire Star Realm is changing now, and the evolution speed of our Flame Spider Merchants must keep up, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the stability of the trade routes."

"At the same time, if the Divine Power barriers between the eight continents disappear in the future, should we merge with the main branch?

After the merger, will we be able to have our own voice? These are all very important things.

For the long term, we need to start preparing now."

"This is what I'm thinking. Ten billion Origin Stones, borrowed over a hundred years, with only ten million Origin Stones borrowed each year.

When the Lord-level Flame Spiders reach the age of advancement, if there are not enough Origin Force food, they can borrow a portion, and then repay it with interest after being promoted to Spider King."

"Ten million Origin Stones?" The God-given species were extremely dissatisfied: "Do you think ten million Origin Stones is a small amount? The combined annual output of our 12 King-level God-given species is not even ten million Origin Stones.

Do you think only you spiders need Origin Stones to grow? Don't we need Origin Stones to grow?"

The Ginkgo Spider King smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't I find more than thirty God-given species on the Dragon Bamboo Continent? Their combined output is also tens of millions of Origin Stones each year."

Some God-given species were dissatisfied: "That still can't be done like this. If every generation of spiders spends all of the year's output, there won't be any turnover in case something happens, and the Flame Spider Kingdom will exist in name only. This precedent cannot be set."

The Sea Soul Fir God-given species also said: "Spending ten million Origin Stones a year is indeed too much."

"And there is also a very important question: With the overall output of the Myriad Race Continent and the Fang Country Continent, can a profit of one thousand square Origin Stones be spared from the basis of cost?"

"If it can't be spared, how do you plan to repay this principal?"

The Ginkgo Spider King and Lord Cheqian, Lord Fengxin, and the others were all speechless.

A profit of ten million Origin Stones, calculated at 20%, requires selling Origin Force food with a cost of fifty million, which is about the output of one hundred top-level King-level God-given species.

If it were Lord-level God-given species, the number would have to be doubled again. For Mountain Master-level, the number would be four hundred. There probably aren't that many top-level God-given species in the entire Myriad Race Continent.

Why do their tribes seal the God-given Origin Force food produced over the years in the treasure house? Isn't it because there is no place to sell it? Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to trade it for Origin Stones and store them up?

Lord Cheqian said unconvinced: "But it's different now. We have trade routes on four continents, including the Myriad Country Continent. As long as the trade can be expanded, we will have enough trading partners."

"Come on," a God-given species's mental thoughts said: "The Myriad Race Continent and the Myriad Country Continent still have some trading potential.

The Dragon Bamboo Continent and the Cloud Trace Continent have just recovered their Origin Force, and the number of insectoid warriors is very limited. It will take at least 100 years to reach the current state of the Myriad Race Continent."

"If you want to make trade smooth, first increase the number of insectoid warriors on those two continents!"

The spiders were speechless again.

After thinking for a while, the Sea Soul Fir God-given species didn't completely reject the idea: "How about this, we can allocate ten million Origin Stones worth of interest-free God-given Origin Force food to you first, and you can distribute it yourselves.

Return the cost to the kingdom by the end of next year, and the profit will be yours.

If you can sell all the Origin Force food, we can increase the allocation quota next year."

The spiders thought about it. Ten million Origin Stones worth of Origin Force food is equivalent to the entire output of 15 King-level God-given species.

Evenly divided, each lord can get 600,000 to 700,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Force food, which is also very good, better than nothing. Moreover, according to what the Sea Soul Fir God-given species said, if the sales are good, the allocation quota can be increased next year.

The Ginkgo Spider King looked at the two lords: "What do you think?"

After all, they are the ones going out to trade, so it's still necessary to see their opinions.

Lord Cheqian said: "I think it's okay. It's also a good opportunity to see everyone's sales ability."

Lord Fengxin also smiled: "I believe that with so many Origin Stones as an incentive, everyone will work harder."

After discussing this matter, the topic returned to the Zhibai Continent.

The Sea Soul Fir God-given species said: "Si Ye, next year you will continue to go to the Zhibai Continent to investigate the specific news there. After understanding the detailed situation, we will respond."

"Okay." Si Ye readily agreed.

The Ginkgo Spider King also said: "Try to use Origin Force food with no special characteristics for trading there. The main focus of the trade should not be on making profits, but on having a comprehensive understanding of that branch of the Flame Spider Merchants. At the same time, you must also pay attention to your own safety."

"No problem," Si Ye said: "Ginkgo Spider King, next year I want to stay there and see if I can follow the Flame Spider Merchants there and sneak into their ancestral land."

"Sneak into the ancestral land?" The Ginkgo Spider King and the God-given species pondered: "You don't have any traces of existence from before,

Even if you can sneak into the ancestral land, it should be easily discovered, right?"

Si Ye changed the color of her body surface, transforming back into the appearance of a Prismatic Flame Spider Merchant: "I was trading there in the appearance of a Prismatic Flame Spider. When the time comes, I'll find a reason to say that I grew up outside."

The Ginkgo Spider King thought about it and felt that this reason was barely acceptable.

"If you are really recognized as not being a Flame Spider from their lineage, you might as well say that you are a spider from the Myriad Race Continent." Compared to the unattainable Divine-grade Shanglu fruit, Si Ye's own safety is the most important.

However, in the Flame Spider ancestral land, they wouldn't dare to harm their own kind, right? Moreover, Si Ye is now a seventh-stage Mountain Master, and ordinary lords may not even be her match!
