Chapter 1331 - 791: Earthbound_3

Most of the Origin Force Plants have taken root atop the mountains.

Patrolling warriors noticed the arrival of Dragon Cypress.

The news spread swiftly along the mountain range, soon reaching the entire territory.

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

Star Persimmon Great Leader came forward to greet him.

"Great Leader Star Persimmon!"

"Boss Yellow!"

"Wisteria!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, you've finally returned!"

A large group of insects, including Yellow Stem, Ivy, and Wisteria, quickly utilized their abilities to gather.

A moment of greetings ensued.

The Soul-Setting Ability swept over, locking onto the positions of Quandong, Linnan, Jinhe, Purple Tung, and two unfamiliar, powerful tree-shaped souls, which turned out to be the newly birthed Divine-Grade Hackberry and River Flower.

In the perception, the other Divine-Grades were grouped for seeding, except for the Linnan Divine Tree, which was placed at the west end of the mountain range, far from the other trees.

"Hey! Did you guys turn against us? How come the Linnan Divine Tree was isolated?"

Dragon Cypress asked half-jokingly.

Star Persimmon Great Leader vaguely explained, "Both the Heavenly Frost Divine Tree and the Linnan Divine Tree are strong and combative, responsible for tribal warrior training and warfare affairs. They had a minor conflict back on the home planet..."

Star Persimmon Great Leader said, "Furthermore, both trees possess powerful attacking combat energy fields... It's not our doing; Linnan Divine Tree strongly requested to be distanced to avoid a fight."

The other insects nodded their tentacles in agreement, silent.

Yellow Stem said, "The Heavenly Frost Divine Tree is currently bearing fruits, after harvest, it will condense its Tree Heart, migrate to the east end of the mountain range to take root. One east, one west, never to meet again."

Ivy, carefree and jubilant, said, "Once they confront each other, they must determine who's the stronger and weaker."

"Such deep hatred? Even tens of thousands of years cannot fade it?"

"..."

Dragon Cypress, skeptical, switched topics and asked, "Is the Linnan Divine Tree alright?"

Wisteria quickly replied, "Things aren't looking great; the Divine-Grade Kunlan Seed produced by the Linnan Divine Tree bestows Wood Element Talent; it's essentially a pure tree. But back on the home planet, neither insects nor trees understood it, and over the long years with nothing to do, it hastily gathered 71 Divine Marks."

Yellow Stem: "In the Venus Star System, the Linnan Divine Tree used three Primordial Gemstones, still condensing Traces. We don't dare to ask much; not sure what's going on now."

Wisteria: "Ask, and you'll be told, 'Little insect, back off, mind your own business.'

Ivy: "The Linnan Divine Tree asked us to prepare more Primordial Gemstones."

Star Persimmon: "Great Leader Dragon Cypress, as an outsider, the Linnan Divine Tree likely won't speak too harsh to you. Could you go and find out what's going on?"

Ivy echoed, "Yes, yes. The Linnan Divine Tree also inquired about Dragon Cypress Ant King's situation. It's very concerned about you."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress said, "The situation might be similar to Wingless? I summarized and published the detailed process of Wingless Divine-Given Seed's breakthrough and evolution to Half Star Realm; have you seen it?"

"Yes! Assistant King Black Peach made a Knowledge Compass at the earliest opportunity, detailed recording, and passed it on to us."

Star Persimmon said, "The evolution of your Xianglan Mountain's Wingless and Bicolor Mulberry two Divine-Grades have certain reference value. We have already conveyed it to Linnan and Jinhe Divine Tree. Jinhe is fine, easier to communicate; its situation is somewhat similar to Bicolor Mulberry, plans to reference Bicolor Mulberry's mode of evolution."

Star Persimmon: "Linnan Divine Tree is harder to communicate with, and its situation is more complex."

"Jinhe also gathered excessive Traces?"

Dragon Cypress hesitated, shifted thoughts, and said, "Let's go! First, visit the Linnan Divine Tree."

…

Star Persimmon dispersed other insects attracted by the news and led the way to the western end of the mountain range.

Steep cliffs on the north and south sides.

A wide and flat ridge.

The Linnan Divine Tree rooted atop the mountain ridge, has grown over three hundred meters in height, resembling a protruding verdant peak.

"Ant!"

"Linnan Divine Tree, long time no see."

"Ant... your size..."

"Shrunk a bit for convenience of movement."

"Shrink?"

The Linnan Divine Tree, deeply curious, asked:

"Is it achieved through your own training and comprehension, reaching the level where you can change your size at will? Or is it some sort of aftereffect from something, evolving to Half Star Realm, post-metamorphosis?"

"Consider it the result of my own diligent and hard practice."

Dragon Cypress flashed and landed beneath the Linnan Divine Tree, looking up to observe, concentrating and perceiving.

The Primordial Energy Breath of the Linnan Divine Tree was somewhat chaotic, filled with a large amount of aggressive Primordial Energy Power.

With Linnan's temperament, it's imaginable that it must have condensed a large number of Traces corresponding to attack-type abilities.

"Ant, doing well, huh? I've heard you've reorganized the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom; its development momentum has surpassed Huagi Mountain, hasn't it?"

Linnan retorted, not waiting for Dragon Cypress to argue, and asked:

"Greedy ant, your Primordial Energy Breath has surpassed all the insects of Huagi Mountain, yet you're still stuck in Half Star Realm without evolving?"

"I'm not in a hurry, accumulating more."

Dragon Cypress vaguely answered.

Linnan asked, "How about the Mantis? Mantis's talent is extraordinary; it should have reached Planet Realm by now?"

"Ink Orchid is also not in a rush; Ink Orchid is overseeing matters in the Azure Star System; currently also just at Half Star Realm."

Dragon Cypress replied, then asked, "Linnan Divine Tree, what's your situation now?"

"Encountered a minor issue, a little problem."

Linnan said, then angrily cursed:

"These foolish insects, after four to fifty thousand years of development in the Universe Starry Sky, still haven't learned to fend for themselves, and even now, rely on the fruits I produce for their fortunes. Absolutely hopeless."

"The evolution mode of Bicolor Mulberry Divine-Given Seed has significant reference value. I am assembling to build an ultra-powerful combat ability, I'll take them out one by one."
