Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Dragon Cypress: "When did I ever say I liked centipedes?"

Green Heart: "Doesn’t the Great Leader Dragon Cypress often transform Jungle Beasts into centipede shapes?"

Dragon Cypress: "That’s bionic ability; centipede legs are many, and they run steadily, convenient for traveling on land, that’s all."

Green Heart: "That means the centipede species still has merit."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress asked: "What specific species? Where did you find it?"

"Right here on our Twisted Blue Star. It should be a Green Centipede warrior from the home planet; high temperature, high humidity, and high oxygen environments prompted evolution, gigantification."

"Ink Orchid named it Greenstone. It was discovered hiding under a giant rock."

Green Heart explained: "On the northern and southern ends of the planet, the number of insects is relatively small. Ink Orchid and I went to tropical and warm temperate regions to find insect-inhabited territories. Ink Orchid used soul-setting ability for sensing..."

"After discovering Greenstone, Ink Orchid quietly infiltrated and secretly brought it out."

Green Heart observed Dragon Cypress’s reaction and continued: "When I saw it was a large centipede, I also felt it was inappropriate. But Ink Orchid insisted that the Great Leader Dragon Cypress would definitely like it, so I couldn’t persuade more."

Dragon Cypress choked again.

Dragon Cypress: "Theoretically, on the five life planets, a little warrior is born every year, right? You are searching all over the world; it shouldn’t be this difficult!"

Green Heart: "Ink Orchid and I have done the math and think the same way. Moreover, after asking around, we found out that indeed, a little warrior is born every year. But other warriors have found them."

"Upon discovering a little warrior, if you don’t nurture them yourself, sending them to the Luoli Chamber of Commerce earns you 500 Primordial Crystals as a hard work fee. Many Insect Clan warriors, when bored, will search around. Especially those Insect Clan warriors looking for Divine-Given Seeds, they also find little warriors along the way."

Green Heart added: "Numerous warriors born in the Venus Star System are mostly poor, yet familiar with the environment. Whether it’s searching for Divine-Given Seeds or little warriors, they are particularly eager."

"Sigh—"

Dragon Cypress suddenly sighed powerlessly.

Origin Force Lives born in the universe’s starry sky find survival and development especially difficult. The Venus Star System is remote and barren, so they have to strive hard, expending precious life to find opportunities.

...

A giant icy mantis carried Ink Orchid back.

The Hydra Tentacle rolled up, placing a more than two-meter-long, all-green ’little centipede’ in front of Dragon Cypress.

A primary little warrior not long after awakening at the first age period.

All insects on Twisted Blue Star are naturally large.

Looking at it, Dragon Cypress felt uncomfortable and complained tactfully: "Second King, this kind of insect, in the future, when riding a Star Spider, would probably require three times the fare, right?"

Ink Orchid: "When have you ever paid fare when riding a Star Spider?"

Ink Orchid called: "Greenstone, greet. Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

Greenstone greeted happily and said: "From now on, I’ll follow the Great Leader Dragon Cypress and the Second Leader Ink Orchid."

"...Okay."

Dragon Cypress waved its claw, signaling Zhi and Rainbow Mulberry, who were watching from not far away, to come over and instructed:

"Zhi, your crab tribe and the centipede tribe are like half relatives, so you will look after it from now on."

"Okay. Great King."

Zhi thought for a moment and said: "Great King, Second King, in appearance, crabs and centipedes don’t seem to have any relatives, right?"

"That’s not important!"

Ink Orchid solemnly introduced: "Greenstone, this one is also an Alien Clan Warrior, Zhi. This one is Rainbow Mulberry."

"Zhi! Hello!"

"Rainbow Mulberry, hello!"

Greenstone greeted one by one.

Ink Orchid happily said: "Greenstone, from now on, you are an official member of the Xianglan Mountain Commerce Guild. Follow Zhi. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me or the Great Leader Dragon Cypress."

Ink Orchid also instructed: "Rainbow Mulberry, stop looking, hurry, go to the treasury and bring some Origin Force Food over."

...

...

——Fresh news, come and see the excitement.

——Insects, good news.

——Found a new Insect Clan warrior.

——Unfortunately, it’s a centipede warrior without a Life Pouch.

The trees passed on the message to each other, quickly spreading throughout Xianglan Mountain.

The insects heard the news and came, collectively speechless.

Even the lowest in the treasury are Divine-Given Origin Force Foods of the Third Trace Realm.

A primary little warrior of the first age period is fragile and certainly can’t eat directly.

Fragrant Cypress commanded Blue Ants to bring a Divine-Given Sky-Blue Persimmon Seed, three Divine-Given White Rice Seeds, to make Ant King Honey, dilute after dilute, blending until only a little bit of Origin Force fluctuation remained, and only then dared to feed it to Greenstone.

Eat a mouthful every day, and after finishing 10 jars, evolving to a mid-level warrior would certainly be more than enough.

After making a fuss for half a day, the insects dispersed.

Ink Orchid stayed back, observing for half a month, confirming that Greenstone was familiar with the environment and that no insect dared to bully it, only then left reassured to set off again.

...

Aliens not under the protection of a Natural True God don’t have Life Pouches, hibernation, meditation, Star Network accounts, Origin Point marks, and other critical abilities.

Without the Natural True God’s bloodline blessing, the abilities awakened during evolution are all the most basic ones, few in number, and weak.

However, as long as there is money and resources, these problems are not really problems.

Moreover, heterozygous races have one advantage, which is a higher plasticity, able to choose a Talent System autonomously by consuming Origin Force Food.

They can’t choose the Soul System.

The Elemental Seven Systems and Life Force can be chosen.

Dragon Cypress arranged for Greenstone to consume only Strength and Life System Divine-Given Origin Force Foods during the primary, mid, and high-level warrior stages.

...

Primary little warriors grow fast.

Molts and evolves once after two months.

A primary centipede little warrior of the second age period.

Body length increased to 2.2 meters.

Dragon Cypress discovered that this little guy, unlike Zhi and Rainbow Mulberry, had an aggressive streak in its genetic makeup and prematurely arranged for it to join the Second Legion, following Cypress.

Another four months later,

Greenstone molts and evolves again.

Three years later, evolves into a mid-level warrior.

Another five years and evolves into a high-level warrior.

It takes another ten years to successfully evolve into a Mountain Lord-Level Warrior, evolving into a five-meter large centipede, awakening a Life System talent, comprehending the ability to emit a dark green poisonous mist that corrodes vitality.

Formally transferred to join the Second Legion.

Cypress took Greenstone, guiding and training its physique and battle capabilities.

...

Every spring and autumn, Ink Orchid and Green Heart go out looking for newly born Insect Clan little warriors but have always been fruitless.

...

One day in early autumn,

Poison Bean piloted the Star Spider to Xianglan Mountain.

Silvergrass and Green Peach rushed over.

On Green Peach’s head stood a beetle about two or three centimeters big, timidly shaking its antennae in greeting.

Its bright orange-red carapace, black stripes, and spots.

Just looking at it was eye-catching.

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress, weren’t you looking for Insect Clan little warriors? We’ve found one for you!"

"Discovered in area 2291 on Flying Leaf Star. A Nebula Flower Golden Turtle with pure bloodline!"

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress, this little guy has a great affinity with you. When we found it, it had already chosen its first Life Seed, choosing a Cypress Tree Seed."

"Oh—"

Dragon Cypress looked, dazed for a moment, then came to and asked: "Cypress Tree? What Cypress Tree?"

"Specifically unknown. Bewilderedly, it picked up a Cypress Tree Seed and incorporated it into its Life Pouch for gestation."

"No matter. Very well. Silvergrass, you guys have worked hard. Poison Bean, go find Round Cypress and take three jars of Bee King Honey, consider it your labor fee from me."
