Chapter 1084 - 713: Read-Write Energy Field_3
Night Fragrance was brimming with enthusiasm, hoping aloud: "Of course I want to see what it can do!"
Dragon Cypress didn’t say much, and pressed the Object Control Energy Field Crystal Stone against the trunk.
Night Fragrance absorbed it.
Similarly, an obscure, almost undetectable Soul System Energy Field unfolded.
Dragon Cypress’s feet suddenly felt light, and he involuntarily rose off the ground, shooting with a whoosh three hundred meters into the air.
As the name suggests, an Object Control Energy Field is mind control over objects.
"Dragon Cypress! This one’s awesome!"
Night Fragrance cried out in surprise, unable to hide her joy.
"So-so."
Dragon Cypress’s thoughts shifted; the Nightfall Ability covered his whole body, his figure flickered, and he lightly landed on the ground.
Night Fragrance tried again, only to discover that the power was blocked by Nightfall, unable to control Dragon Cypress anymore. Her mind shifted, and within a radius of three hundred meters, soil and gravel tore free from the ground, floating up, hovering, and whirling around the trunk in a flying spiral dance.
King Cypress, who had been silently watching the commotion here, couldn’t help but praise in envy: "This Object Control Energy Field really is impressive~!"
— Great ability!
The other trees chimed in one after another, full of envy.
From the perspective of plants that can’t move at all, Object Control Ability is indeed powerful; they can borrow this Energy Field to do many things they couldn’t do originally.
But from the perspective of an Insect Clan Warrior, it’s pretty mediocre. Once you master the Elemental Seven Systems, you can not only control everything in the universe, but also make use of it.
In Dragon Cypress’s view, this Object Control Ability doesn’t mean much and is of average value.
...
One day later.
The Object Control Energy Field Power was fully exhausted.
Dragon Cypress immediately let Night Fragrance try the Divine Might Energy Field.
Soul System Primodial Energy surged over like a tidal wave.
In an instant, Dragon Cypress only felt a thunderous boom in his brain; an unbeatable oppressive force stabbed straight at his soul, and a feeling of terror instantly flooded his entire body.
His whole insect body collapsed to the ground on the spot.
The nine-colored light of the Star Marks of the Ultimate Zhenshou Beast on his forehead flashed violently.
— I actually can’t immune this through Adaptive Evolution!
Dragon Cypress steadied his mind, struggled, and crawled out of the Energy Field.
"???"
Spiked Cypress didn’t dare say much either; cautiously he stepped forward and walked into the Energy Field to try.
Nothing at all~
Spiked Cypress turned back and saw the Great King’s unfriendly gaze; inspiration struck, and he suddenly launched two consecutive charges. With a sudden boom, he rammed Silver Cypress straight into the Energy Field.
Silver Cypress collapsed to the ground in an instant, completely unable to move.
"Serves you right for just sitting there watching! Don’t mess around! Don’t distract Night Fragrance!"
Dragon Cypress flew into a rage, pinning Spiked Cypress down with one claw and wildly whipping him with his tentacles.
Cypress raised a claw; a Hydra Tentacle coiled out, dragging Silver Cypress back.
"Great King! I’ll help you!"
Silver Cypress rushed forward and gave Spiked Cypress a random beating.
Once he finished,
Silver Cypress said with lingering fear: "Great King, this Divine Might Energy Field is the strongest!"
"Not strong."
Dragon Cypress flatly denied it, then analyzed: "The most primitive emotion of intelligent life is fear. The essence of this ability is to trigger the inner fear, magnify it by thousands of times, and thereby achieve the goal of suppressing the soul."
"There’s no fundamental difference between it and Hallucination-type abilities; they both just exploit the emotions and consciousness buried deep in the soul of intelligent life."
"All abilities of this kind are pretty average. In real life-and-death combat, when an Insect Clan Warrior enters combat mode, their fighting spirit burns, they forget fear, forget all excess emotions—then the effect of Divine Might, and the effect of Hallucination Ability, will both be greatly weakened or even completely invalid."
"Oh——"
The ants all suddenly understood.
"..."
Night Fragrance said: "Dragon Cypress, this Divine Might Energy Field is still pretty strong, isn’t it?"
Night Fragrance then complained: "Among Soul System Concept-type powers, the Hallucination power I’ve mastered is the weakest?"
— That’s indeed the case.
— The price of the Energy Field Crystal Stones reflects that directly.
Dragon Cypress said solemnly: "Night Fragrance, there’s no such thing as stronger or weaker power, only whether it suits you and whether you can use it well."
Dragon Cypress added a reminder: "I used Super Brain Ability to deduce that Hallucination Energy Field and Read-Write Energy Field have the highest compatibility. Night Fragrance, first focus on comprehending Hallucination-type powers, then Read-Write-type."
"As for other kinds of Soul System Concept powers, once you enter the Evolution Star Realm in the future, you can slowly comprehend them then as well."
Night Fragrance: "Got it. Read-Write Ability is the valuable one, right?"
Dragon Cypress: "Exactly!"
Dragon Cypress: "I’ve also purchased a large batch of First Level Energy Field Crystal Stones suitable for Azure; I’ll go test them on her."
...
Azure and Night Fragrance’s situations are completely different.
Azure is a Superior Divine Seed, and the fruits it’s producing now are already at Star Realm level.
Azure’s main job is to grow and evolve, and break through to Half-Star Realm as soon as possible.
Of course, we can’t rush it too much.
First try out the Water Breath Energy Field and Rain Dew Energy Field with the highest compatibility, experience them, comprehend, and learn by reference.
Dragon Cypress also purchased 100 vials of Radix Dolichos Solution, and arranged for every Divine-Given Seed that hasn’t evolved to the Third Trace Realm to use one vial.
...
...
Ink Orchid returned with White Rice, Ghost Fan, and the others who had gone to watch the fun.
Green Heart also ran over along with them.
"Second King, Green Heart, where did you two run off to play? Haven’t seen a trace of you for years."
Dragon Cypress asked sternly.
"Play?"
Ink Orchid was indignant, "We’ve been busy! We’re out there looking for Divine-Given Seeds!"
Dragon Cypress was startled when he heard that, "Divine-Given Seeds? Where are you looking? Don’t just go barging into other insects’ territories, or you’ll get caught and sealed up."
"We won’t!"
Green Heart hurriedly explained: "After Origin Force Plants evolve to the Third Trace Realm, their environmental adaptation gets stronger, and they prefer to take root in tropical and warm-temperate zones with high heat and strong light. Across the five Life Planets and a million Insect Population, the land is vast and insects are sparse. That means the temperate and frigid zone territories at the north and south ends of the planets end up with No Insects living there."
Ink Orchid went on: "In theory, those territories belong to the Luoli Chamber of Commerce. But with Chamber chairmen as big as Kansui and Giant Taro, they’re too embarrassed to personally go down and search. So every autumn, some smart Insect Clan Warriors run over there to try their luck."
Green Heart: "No one manages those areas. Just don’t get into conflicts with other insects."
Ink Orchid: "Green Heart and I search in spring and summer. We spent two years doing detailed surveys and calculations; the total area of territories completely without any insect administration comes to six hundred million square kilometers. On probability, it’s about one thousand years for one Divine-Given Seed to be born!"
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Seeing everyone staying silent.
Rainbow Mulberry carefully asked: "Second King, how much time do you need to spend searching each year?"
Ink Orchid: "Good question. Even if I only sweep it once a year, it still wastes four or five months of my time. So I came back to discuss it with everyone—how about I first use resources to evolve to Star Marks Realm? With a higher Realm and a stronger soul, my search efficiency will be higher, and I won’t be wasting my Life."
"That works——"
Dragon Cypress: "We’ll first arrange for the Assistant King to evolve to Nine Traces Realm. Then Ink Orchid gets priority to evolve to Star Marks Realm. But before that, Ink Orchid, you’d better not wander all over the place."
"Alright. That’s fine too."
Ink Orchid pondered for a moment, then asked: "Dragon Cypress, how many Primordial Crystals do you think we should buy? Should we also strengthen our Common Life Seeds once over?"
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid together only have 49 Common Life Seeds.
If Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid only look after themselves, using 60 Primordial Crystals on each one would cost around 8.8 million.
Chump change...
Dragon Cypress: "Ink Orchid, I’ve got another bold idea!"
Ink Orchid: "How bold?"
Dragon Cypress: "I heard a new theory—Night Fragrance can comprehend a second type of Soul system ability besides hallucination..."
Dragon Cypress recounted the whole matter in detail.
"Support the Great Leader’s work!"
Ink Orchid didn’t even think about it, raised six legs and two Tentacles in eager approval, then immediately said:
"Great Leader Dragon Cypress, I’ve got something to discuss with you too."
Dragon Cypress: "...Speak."
Ink Orchid: "I want to pull in a trustworthy Insect Clan Warrior to join our Chamber of Commerce, how about it?"
Swish swish swish! Every gaze turned to Green Heart.
Ink Orchid explained: "The Night Dew Ant King’s Territory earnings are only enough to feed itself and the Assistant King under its command; it really can’t spare anything for Green Heart. Green Heart doesn’t have a single Life Seed Divine-Given Seed, and all its Life Seed Plants are resting their flowers and fruits to nourish the soul. Right now it’s still a pitiful Third Trace Realm, Age Period 1, and for at least the next two thousand years it’ll have no income."
"Green Heart’s got it rough. So I said, why not come over and mix with us; at least it can scrape together a bit of dividend."
"Plus, look at those Great Tribes—hundreds, thousands, even several thousand insects, big numbers and strong power; everything’s easier to do, and the Great Leader gets to be impressive. Then look at our Chamber of Commerce, such a pathetic handful of insects; being Great Leader and Leader like this is no fun. If we want to build something big, the Insect Population is simply not enough. We need more reliable insects to join."
Dragon Cypress was tempted as he listened.
Green Heart looked a bit wooden and not fond of talking, but it has been helping the Night Dew Ant King with networking and deals since it was young, trained up by the work. When it does speak, it’s straightforward, with clear thinking.
The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce really does need an insect good at socializing and running connections.
Green Heart is very suitable for the Commerce Department.
Dragon Cypress asked: "Green Heart, what did the Night Dew Ant King say?"
Ink Orchid rushed to answer: "We’ve settled it! The Night Dew Ant King said okay, just compensate it with three Divine-Grade Molan Seeds later."
"Second King, impressive~"
Dragon Cypress swung his claw and said: "Good then. Green Heart, whenever you think the Time is right, migrate your Life Seeds over."
Ink Orchid: "All the Life Seeds have already been collected into a Life Pouch and brought over."
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress couldn’t help making a snarky remark: "Second King rarely returns to the nest; if you come back, it’s definitely with a plan!"
Without waiting for a rebuttal, Dragon Cypress waved his Tentacles and called out: "Alright then! Let’s go find a place and get the Life Seeds settled in first."
