Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1042: Chapter 700: Star Casting (3)

On White Ivy’s forehead, the gray-white Shanglu tree leaf mark flashed, followed by the swirling of colorful light in eight eyes.

On the carapace, another spider-like imprint gleamed brightly.

White Ivy explained: "To put it nicely, counting the ancestral divine power, I have four core abilities that can be developed into ’Star Marks’. However, I don’t have the ability to integrate them together, at least not within the Scar Realm."

"My ten-system visual combination ability is called the ’Ninth Heavy Pupil’. Currently, I am trying to integrate it with the Shanglu divine pattern."

"The spider has eight eyes, each of the seven-element occupies one eye, life and strength combine to form a system occupying one eye, and the innate eight eyes are used up. The soul system ability opens one eye, named the ’Ninth Heavy Pupil’. If spatial power is added, it becomes the ’Tenth Heavy Pupil’."

"My abilities are mainly concentrated in the eyes, but being fixated on the eyes has limited me, making it difficult to combine many abilities."

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid suddenly thought of something and looked at each other, their four eyes lighting up simultaneously.

Ink Orchid asked: "Chairman White Ivy, the Natural God System should not have any other spatial system origin force plants, right?"

"No."

White Ivy knew what they wanted to ask and explained: "We Flame Spider Roving Merchants use meditation to strengthen spatial system abilities. I have the Shanglu divine pattern, which increases my meditation efficiency by more than a hundredfold."

Just as expected ~

Ink Orchid immediately asked: "If that’s the case, will the independent space granted by the Shanglu divine pattern expand?"

White Ivy: "Yes! The side length of my Shanglu Space is already close to 60 meters."

Ink Orchid: "Then Dragon Cypress and I..."

White Ivy: "It should be possible, right? Why don’t you try it?"

"I’ll try!"

"Dragon Cypress, don’t interrupt me!"

Ink Orchid’s body sank, and the dusk barrier covered the carapace as she lowered her tentacles and began to try it.

"..."

Dragon Cypress and White Ivy quieted down.

After two whole days and nights, Ink Orchid awoke from her hibernation meditation.

"It seems effective, but it’s slight, almost imperceptible."

"Try it again in the Nine Traces Realm."

...

...

Finally, they arrived on the other side of the planet, in North 4450 District.

The starship piloted by Silvergrass and Poison Bean stopped in front of a grand, seemingly endless mountain that stretched into the clouds.

The Shield Grasshopper Tribe still retained the habit of living in a mountainous environment.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King! Ink Orchid! This way, please!"

"Chairman White Ivy, Silvergrass, Poison Bean, thank you for your hard work."

Wisteria transformed and, as the landlord, politely led the way.

The Soul-Setting ability swept over them.

The insects detected it, quickened their pace uphill, and reached the ridge square.

A Shield Grasshopper Warrior with a carapace showing frosty white patterns led Yellow Stem, Spruce, and a group from the Barley Bug Tribe to greet them.

"Mountain Maple Ancestor! This is Dragon Cypress Ant King! And this is Ink Orchid."

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid, this is one of our Shield Grasshopper Tribe’s ancestors, Mountain Maple Leader."

Wisteria and Purple Wisteria eagerly made the introductions.

"Greetings, Mountain Maple Ancestor!"

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid respectfully greeted.

"No need to be so formal! No need!"

Mountain Maple quickly waved his tentacles and sincerely said, "Our Shield Grasshopper Tribe, having entered the star space, cannot let go of the three divine trees: Huagi, Linnan, and Quandong. Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid, your help on Huagi Mountain, over five hundred years ago, Chairman White Ivy already told me about it. You helped Huagi Mountain through a crisis of annihilation! No matter now or in the future, if you need anything, and we at Huagi Mountain can help, just say the word, and we will never refuse!"

The Huagi Divine Tree was right, their choice of tribal leaders and insect brands was faultless.

Ink Orchid said warmly, "Mountain Maple Ancestor, you’re being too humble! We have a cooperative relationship with Huagi Mountain. The three divine trees, Huagi, Linnan, and Quandong, have also assisted us greatly. It’s mutual support."

Dragon Cypress also said emotionally, "When Ink Orchid and I were high-level warriors, we first arrived at Huagi Mountain and met Yellow Stem. Along our growth journey, the divine trees Huagi, Quandong, and Linnan treated us like juniors, guiding and nurturing us."

Ink Orchid agreed, "Yes, indeed. The Linnan Divine Tree always treated us like juniors, scolding us."

"Uh—"

"Then you should also consider me an elder. If you face any difficulties, feel free to come to me."

Mountain Maple had encountered all sorts of insects, and with just a few words, could tell that these two weren’t as simple as the other sincere juniors of their tribe.

When you think about it, it’s no surprise. To stir up storms across both hemispheres of the home planet, to be a great leader among the fierce ant and bee tribes, they couldn’t possibly be benevolent.

Mountain Maple politely said, "Ancestor is too grand a title, I’m not worthy. In the star space, no one dares to claim kingship or ancestry. Yellow Stem, Wisteria, these young ones like to call me that, but please don’t follow suit. Let’s all address each other by name. To be a bit more formal, you can call me ’Mountain Maple Leader’."

Yellow Stem invited, "Let’s go to the hall and talk."

They all moved to a spacious lounge carved out in the mountain behind the square.

Wisteria brought out some stored Divine-Given Origin Force Food to entertain the guests.

Spruce went to the forest to hunt for food.

Everyone gathered together, eating and chatting.
