Chapter 1150 - 734: Unrestrained Stars_3
"We have locked onto the general area, organized the fleet, and are searching in an orderly manner."
Purple Cicada: "This is a preliminary idea we discussed. Dragon Cypress Ant King, are you interested?"
Purple Cicada added: "Other insects may want to join, but we might not take them. Dragon Cypress Ant King, you're different. Your courage and intellect can achieve great things."
Dragon Cypress: "..."
No insect would believe this nonsense.
Dragon Cypress knew very well that Purple Cicada had other intentions for finding him.
Moreover,
in the boundless universe deep space, throwing in two or three doomsday survival bases is akin to tossing two or three grains of sand into the vast deep sea.
Can this be found?
Organizing a fleet?
Crossing space navigation, the primordial crystal consumption alone is unimaginable.
Is it an investment pull?
Or...
Dragon Cypress moved its tentacle slightly in thought, vaguely said: "I suggest we observe the situation first, understand it clearly before making a decision."
"Hmm—"
Purple Cicada said: "Earlier, the books you and Ink Orchid split, as well as those Eagle Leaf and I divided, let us gather them together and carefully peruse them to see if we can find any clues."
"Search for the names of the civilizations and star systems belonging to the 133 races before the founding of the White Tower Alliance, as well as the names of civilizations that had contact with them, and some landmark place names."
"In the Dawn Star System, there are old universe era star voyage maps, marking the entire super giant galaxy cluster universe pseudonyms, and most of the galaxy cluster names, recording over a hundred million star systems, about one three-thousandths of the universe's star systems. All it takes is one or two matches to deduce, infer other information."
"Perhaps, due to the distance, we currently do not have the long-range exploration capability in the short term. But in the long-term view, one day in the future, we will eventually possess corresponding strength."
Dragon Cypress: "Oh—"
So, Purple Cicada came to ask for books, not to deliver them.
Books from the third tier of the relic, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid got about one-fifteenth, over five hundred thousand volumes, possibly containing some key information.
Dragon Cypress pondered for a moment and agreed: "After all, we have already gained considerable benefits from the 'White Tower Alliance.' And it's certain, there are two more abundant relics. This matter is indeed worth investing some time, energy, and even wealth."
Dragon Cypress: "I will first decipher the Purple-Red Technology Star Core, once done, I'll come to find you. We can check the books together, seeking useful information."
"...Okay."
Purple Cicada thought for a bit and said: "I also look forward to what specific level of spatial abilities the Purple-Red Technology Star Core can grant. Whether it would add the sixth and seventh abilities on top of the ordinary Tech Star Core."
Purple Cicada also said: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, you might want to take some time to carefully read the Artist's autobiography; it contains absolutely interesting content for you."
Dragon Cypress: "What content?"
Purple Cicada: "A Law Divine Tree called 'Unrestrained Stars!' Grants Spatial Talent!"
Dragon Cypress: "!!!"
…
Fish Vine drove the Star Spider, carrying Purple Cicada away.
Dragon Cypress returned to the cave, falling into contemplation before the books in front of it.
—Why did the five-headed old Spider want to involve him in this lucrative opportunity?
—Most likely they had already recognized the 'Adaptive Evolution' as a Law Ability, guessing that he possessed a Law Divine Product.
—They mistakenly thought it was one of the fifty-five Law Divine Trees naturally born by the Natural True God. The items are sensitive, and directly asking would be taboo, so it couldn't be explained.
—Also, the five-headed old Spider is waiting for the Great King Cypress to break through to the Evolution Star Realm.
"The Great King Cypress combined with the Tech Star Core can produce 1004 'Starlight Warriors' possessing Star Voyage Ability."
"If we can really determine the approximate coordinates of other White Tower Alliance relics in the old universe, there indeed is hope to find them out..."
"A Law Divine Tree granting Spatial Talent!"
"A good thing enough to change the Insect Clan civilization or balance of power!"
"Has it survived after such a long time?"
"If we devote the entire strength of a massive civilization to protect it, can it be protected?"
Dragon Cypress pondered, swaying its tentacle silently in negation.
This matter doesn't need to be considered before the Habitat Realm.
The five-headed spiders including Upright Lotus, though, in terms of wealth or strength, are far from sufficient.
Without thinking further,
the Metal System Ability erupted, opening the Metal Case.
The Artist's Spatial Law might diffused.
Summoning the Zhen Beast, it morphed into the artist's appearance, holding the Purple-Red Technology Star Core in its claws, continuing deductions, changes, attempts.
…
…
Time flew by,
finally, one day,
the Purple-Red Technology Star Core reacted, automatically absorbing the original strength of the Zhen Beast.
"It worked!"
Dragon Cypress quickly controlled the Zhen Beast to blend with the Tech Star Core, simultaneously trying to integrate a wisp of soul into the Zhen Beast, attempting to fool it and smoothly complete the soul fusion.
However, the moment the soul touched the Purple-Red Technology Star Core, it felt stuck, and the fusion process abruptly halted.
A strong repulsion,
The primordial power of the Zhenshou that had just fused with the Purple-Red Technology Star Core was 'squeezed' back out.
"..."
Dragon Cypress buried its head, silently attempting to change the soul.
Completely impossible.
Dragon Cypress has reached the pinnacle in 'Adaptive Evolution' at the level of body and bloodline.
But on the soul level, it hasn't even found the way yet.
Theoretically, the existing 'Adaptive Evolution', through self-cultivation and insight, can also extend to the soul level.
But the difficulty is too high, too great.
"Let King Cypress try first."
"If King Cypress can't, I'll step in personally..."
Dragon Cypress withdrew the strand of its released soul, once again urging the fusion of the Zhenshou and Purple-Red Technology Star Core.
Without the soul barrier, this time it completed smoothly.
A drop of Zhenshou primordial power fused into it, turning the Purple-Red Technology Star Core into blue-purple-red color, accompanied by the dazzling light of the Elemental Seven Systems and Systems.
Dragon Cypress moved its mind.
The Technology Star Core transformed, turning into a drop of water, merging into the Ultimate Zhenshou Beast Star Core at the forehead.
Dragon Cypress moved its thoughts again.
The blue-purple-red water drop floated out, changing and expanding into the form of an 'Artist'.
Silently, it disappeared from sight.
The next moment, it appeared ten kilometers beyond the limit of Dragon Cypress's spiritual power perception and control.
Spatial teleportation!
Dragon Cypress moved its mind again, and the 'Artist' shuttled through space, appearing in a cave.
Dragon Cypress concentrated and sensed for a while, understanding in its heart.
The Purple-Red Technology Star Core is ultimately an 'artifact', granting six abilities, including basic teleportation, dimensional space, gravity, jump transition, All-Encompassing Compass, and an additional attack-type ability...
The 'Artist' raised its right forefoot, and a sharp, colorless, transparent blade that was invisible to the naked eye appeared.
——Weapon!
——Spatial power gathered, cutting through space.
——In theory, unstoppable.
Dragon Cypress lifted its tentacle upwards.
A stone pillar emerged from the ground, simultaneously enhanced with the metal dual-system solidification ability.
The 'Artist' gently waved its hand.
The sharp spatial blade sliced through effortlessly.
The stone pillar split in two.
"Hiss..."
Dragon Cypress scratched its forehead with its claw, thoughts moving quickly.
Quickly confirming,
due to only achieving 'physical aspect' fusion currently, it can only use teleportation and blade abilities.
Most crucially, the four abilities related to Star Voyage couldn't be used yet.
Dragon Cypress's attention turned again to the spatial blade in the 'Artist's claw.
——Clearly, a close-combat weapon.
The majority of the races in the White Tower Alliance civilization follow the chaos evolution path, focusing on systems with supplementary talents from Elemental System or other systems.
Warriors from the White Tower Alliance particularly enjoy close-quarters combat.
This habit is the complete opposite of the Ant Clan's battle style.
As the Ant King, Dragon Cypress prefers to shrink back.
The Ant Army charges, while the Ant King hides in the back to command, mastering the overall situation.
"It seems I can also remotely control the Zhenshou to engage in close combat..."
Dragon Cypress mused,
the 'Artist' vanished in place, instantly appearing at the mountaintop, its left forefoot waving, the blade cutting wildly, with large chunks of mountain rock shattering and tumbling down.
"Useful!"
"Close combat requires skill, a set must be deduced..."
"Not difficult..."
Dragon Cypress was quite satisfied, with a thought, the 'Artist' crossed space again, appearing before its eyes, burying its head, activating the super brain, and engaging in a burst of thought and deduction.
The 'Artist' dispersed into a stream of water, enveloping Dragon Cypress, condensing into an elliptical water sphere, taking Dragon Cypress, and disappearing from the spot.
The next moment, the water sphere appeared in the cave where the metal case was stored.
Dragon Cypress poked its head out, flicked its tentacle, tidying up, and disappeared again.
With each spatial teleport spanning ten kilometers, it took only a short time to appear under the King Cypress tree on Xianglan Mountain.
