Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Upright Lotus tried to calm her mood and asked, "So, what’s the value or use of the Tears of Stars?"

Kansui: "Every Origin Force Life in the universe, after evolving to the Evolution Star Realm, from Half-Star Realm onwards, when the Star Core initially takes shape, it becomes extremely difficult to add other abilities inside.

As growth and evolution continue, at the Planet Realm and Star Realm, the Star Core becomes solid, and the difficulty of integrating other abilities into the Star Core increases exponentially."

"The sole function of the Tears of Stars is to integrate into the Star Core, purifying and enhancing the Star Core, increasing its capacity, making it easier to incorporate other abilities. In short, it reduces the difficulty of ’Star Casting.’"

— Understood!

— Good stuff!

The four old Spiders understood instantly.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid also understood.

Almost all Insect Clan warriors will halt for a long time at the peak of the 9th Stage of Half-Star, Planet, and Star Realm. They strive to integrate their own comprehended abilities and those acquired through various means into the Star Core, and then break through.

The five old Spiders are in this situation, stuck at the 9th Stage of the Star Realm, gathering various abilities through all means, planning to forge a stronger ’Star.’

The value of the Tears of Stars needs no further explanation.

"..."

Ink Orchid drooped her tentacles and asked nervously, "Chairman Kansui, then what’s the price of the Tears of Stars? It doesn’t seem very useful, shouldn’t be expensive?"

"Mantis, what do you think?"

Kansui asked back, not in a good mood, then lamented, "All these Tears of Stars have been wasted, alas!"

"The Tears of Stars have another characteristic: they are disposable materials, whether integrated into a Star Core or other materials. Once fused, they are ’consumed’ and cannot be separated and extracted."

Kansui said regretfully, repeatedly emphasizing, "These Tears of Stars have already been fused with other synthetic crystal materials, manufactured into the... Radiant Throne. For now, it’s unclear what role this artifact plays, but it can be confirmed that the Tears of Stars cannot be separated from it."

Ink Orchid was secretly delighted, "So that means..."

Kansui: "Don’t get too happy yet, send it back to the Haimeng Ship for scanning and analysis to determine the value. When allocating the harvest later, we’ll see based on the situation."

Zichan, who usually spoke less, said slowly: "I used my spiritual power to browse roughly, the third Treasury, all the books, are almost entirely records of civilization’s cultural inheritance. There is no knowledge related to evolution and science left behind."

"Throughout the entire relic Treasury, there are also no evolutionary resources or Origin Force artifacts or technological creations, only these few items before us."

"It can be said that the entire Treasury is full of ’artifacts’ of cultural heritage, endeavoring to show us the unique characteristics of a civilization’s form, their cosmic view, aesthetic view, value view, attempting to tell us their history."

Zichan sighed with faint sadness and said, "All lives can evolve through Origin Force, all civilizations can develop technology. All civilizations, through Origin Force evolution and technological development, eventually will tend towards the same. But culture, with its strong, unique blood, geography, and historical atmosphere, is the distinct label that differentiates one civilization from another."

"Imagine the lives within the relic, what kind of despair and pain they must have experienced. In the end, they gave up the inheritance of their blood, they only hoped the traces of their existence wouldn’t be extinguished in the endless river of time. They tried to preserve a spark of civilization through cultural heritage and artistic dissemination, to take root and sprout in the new Universe Era, among newborn civilizations."

Ink Orchid said sorrowfully, "How tragic~ In that case, the Radiant Throne is undoubtedly an artifact~"

Spider: "..."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress asked, "Awakening Spatial Talent, with spatial abilities reaching a certain realm’s Overlord, they might be able to open the Origin Point Space to pluck the ’Tears of Stars’? So, could it be..."

Dragon Cypress raised a claw and pointed at the circular platform.

In the center of the platform lay the corpse of a four-legged upright lifeform.

The entire body was shrouded in a brilliant purple rainbow-colored armor, airtight.

Unexpectedly, under the armor, there should still be an Overlord Realm corpse, ruling this ’Doomsday Survival Fortress’ as the king.

— Yes!

— Stop digressing.

— Let’s first tally the harvest!

— Take care of the important things first!

The five old Spiders moved simultaneously, their forms flashing as they landed on the platform.

The imposing armor completely shielded the Overlord corpse’s aura.

Upright Lotus tried and said, "This armor can be removed. But neither Dragon Cypress Ant King nor Ink Orchid can withstand the remaining Law pressure of the Overlord. Kansui, Giant Taro, escort them to retreat, a hundred kilometers away."

"Okay!"

"Let’s go!"

Kansui and Giant Taro agreed.

Dragon Cypress suggested, "Ink Orchid, you should first store that artifact, right in your Divine Mark Space."

"Oh—"

"Follow the instructions of Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

Ink Orchid joyfully, her Shanglu Divine Pattern on the forehead continuously shining, manipulated by the mind, as the millions of crystals of the Radiant Throne rushed like a river, disappeared into space.

...

The group retreated far away.

After a while, a terrifying pressure swept through, and both Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, sensing movement with Soul-Setting Ability, instinctively stepped back.

Their foreheads, with Ultimate Zhenshou Beast and Ultimate Morlan Star Core, continued to shimmer intensely, struggling to adapt.

In just two or three seconds, within a radius of over a hundred kilometers, no ordinary Primordial Energy Body survived, all shattered by this pressure. The ordinary Primordial Energy Bodies that came rushing couldn’t last even three seconds.

"Terrifying!"

"Spatial System power!"

"A corpse of an Overlord Realm strong with Awakened Spatial Talent."

"No wonder! No wonder that Solitary Wolf Overlord could only guard the door!"

Kansui and Giant Taro, the two old Spiders, with sixteen legs stood straight, excitedly rose up.
