Chapter 1338 - 793: Soaring to New Heights (Part 3)

Constantly flashing, moving away from the Star System.

The Purple-Red Technology Star Core constantly reserves Spatial Primordial Energy.

The Universal Compass is activated, using the star of the Hoof Beetle Star System as an anchor point, navigating in reverse, spatial jump.

The hatch opens.

Ink Orchid and Dragon Cypress float out.

Looking around, in a blink, they are already in the dark universe deep space.

"Dragon Cypress, where's the Hoof Beetle Star System?"

Ink Orchid asks.

"Over there!"

Dragon Cypress waves a tentacle, indicating the direction.

Looking over, in the endless darkness, a bright point of light.

Ink Orchid also activates the Universal Compass perceptive ability, indeed sensing familiar star gravitational waves.

"How far?"

Ink Orchid asks.

"About 0.8 light years."

"Oh——"

Ink Orchid admires.

This is the Purple-Red Technology Star Core.

At the same evolution level, one's ordinary star core has only half the effect.

"Where's Shanglu Space?"

Ink Orchid asks.

Dragon Cypress doesn't say much, with a thought, the Semi-Ant Artist turns around, a vertical pupil on the forehead opens, locks onto Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, casting a beam of white light that envelops them.

Space ripples.

In an instant, Dragon Cypress, with Ink Orchid, floats into a spherical space.

The gray-white crystal quality space wall emits a faint gray-white halo.

The entire space is gray and gloomy.

Thin air.

Weak Origin Force.

Empty, with only a few scattered floating masses: Tech Star Core, World Gemstone, Gene Potion, Bee King Honey, and a dozen White Refining Beads and Blue Refinement Beads for replenishing physical strength.

Ink Orchid is once again envious, questioning: "Ant, is your space leaking? Why is the air so thin?"

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress: "I often cross planet activities within the star system. There are too many space materials, making it inconvenient to ride the Star Spider. Even slightly sensitive Primordial Spider Warriors can detect abnormal consumption of Primordial Energy."

"Mm. Oh. Right."

Ink Orchid asks: "When will you leave?"

Dragon Cypress: "Star Realm age period 7. Eight hundred years later? I still have time, I can guide you a bit."

"Heh~ Heh~"

Ink Orchid asks again: "What about the strength of the Star Realm? Show it?"

Dragon Cypress thinks for a moment, flashes two beams of white light, taking Ink Orchid out of the world space, floating above the Semi-Ant Artist.

The Semi-Ant Artist suddenly contracts into a mass of water, expands, explodes, re-congeals, and reshapes into a Cloud Mist Giant Ant.

Water, fire, wind, thunder Origin Energy continuously erupts from Dragon Cypress.

The giant ant rapidly expands into a mightily vast Super Giant-Headed Ant spanning twenty or thirty kilometers.

Cloud mist rolls.

Lightning flows.

The giant ant flaps its wings, and instantly, countless multicolored lightning bursts out, lighting up the dark deep space.

The giant ant opens its mouth, a kilometer in diameter, a magma-like fire pillar spews out, hitting a hundred kilometers away, the intense high temperature scorches, and the space vibrates fiercely.

The giant ant flaps its wings, flips, transforms into a transparent gas state, and swings its wings again, countless airflow transforms into almost undetectable, sharp and unstoppable air beam shooting out, disappearing into the dark depths.

The giant ant flips over, contracts, transforms into a cloud mist gas state, with chilling cold, snow-white aerosol rises and spreads, transforming into countless tiny gaseous flying ants, swirling around.

The giant ant's tentacle points.

The aerosol transformed flying ants rush out.

"Ink Orchid Leader, how is it?"

"..."

"Just this?"

Ink Orchid objectively comments: "Really weak~"

"...that's right."

"It's no match for our Second King, of course."

Dragon Cypress moves with thought, the giant ant dramatically contracts, transforms, reconverting into the Semi-Ant Artist, beginning to convert Spatial Primordial Energy, accumulating power for spatial jump.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid return to the abdominal cabin.

"Second King, over the past six hundred years, how many Divine-Given Seeds have been harvested?"

"Two."

"Only two? Then you..."

Dragon Cypress was about to act tough but was suppressed by Ink Orchid raising a claw.

Ink Orchid switches to a serious tone, saying: "In the Forest Sea managed by Nebula Kumquat, another Purple Kiwifruit Divine-Given Seed emerged. This is the second top-level Divine-Given Seed cultivated by Nebula Kumquat."

Purple Kiwifruit Divine-Given Seed?

Dragon Cypress happily said: "Snakebark Maple and Blue Catalpa must be very pleased, right?"

"It's not like they nurtured it, what is there for them to be happy about?"

Ink Orchid said: "There's a bit of a problem. Under Nebula Kumquat's command, four Assistant Kings lead two million worker bees of various sizes. How do we calculate the rewards for the Chamber of Commerce contribution points? Count them all under Nebula Kumquat? Then it may directly rise to 11th level core member. But then what about its Assistant Kings?"

Dragon Cypress: "All Ant Kings and Bee Kings joining our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce can be considered as a squad, with Ant King and Bee King as the stewards' leaders. The rewards and contribution points are all attributed to the leaders and then decided by the leaders on how to distribute further down."

Ink Orchid: "Then the Ant Kings and Bee Kings will certainly count all Chamber of Commerce contribution points under their own name, rapidly upgrading their Chamber of Commerce positions. Is that unfair to other Insect Clan Warriors?"

In the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, the greatest benefit of position upgrades is that the 11th level core member can use Wangbai Seed.

Under the current system, Bee Kings and Ant Kings indeed hold too much advantage.

The Assistant Kings protect the Bee Kings, Ant Kings, and easily meet the conditions.

Dragon Cypress had considered this issue before.

Thought of a solution, has a solution.

However,

In the universe environment, the probability of Ant King and Bee King being born is extremely low; currently, including Nebula Kumquat, on the Azure Star System side, only two Bee Kings and two Ant Kings have emerged.

The number is small, the problem isn't significant yet, so there's no need to draft new rules specifically targeting Ant Kings and Bee Kings.

Dragon Cypress indifferent, waved a tentacle, said: "In the future, when the number of Ant Kings and Bee Kings increases, consider it then. My idea is, in the future, rent a second Zero Level Origin Point, operated specifically by Ant Kings and Bee Kings."
