Chapter 1113 - 723: Longevity
Waking from slumber.
Molt the old carapace, the newly formed carapace hardens swiftly.
Dragon Cypress turns its head, opens its mouth, and the White Refining Bead and Blue Refinement Bead kept by its side automatically leap into its mouth.
Spiritual power is exerted to the limit in an attempt.
Similar to Ink Orchid, the maximum detection range is 38,000 meters!
With a thought, a point on the forehead lights up with rainbow light, dramatically devouring surrounding Origin Force to form a vacuum.
Half Star Realm!
Star Core!
Also similar to Ink Orchid, Dragon Cypress’s Ultimate Zhenshou Beast Star Core compresses into a sesame-sized point.
The Star Core can also absorb Natural Primordial Force, converting it into original energy for capability activation and storage.
However,
Ink Orchid’s Star Core capacity is twice its own, while Dragon Cypress’s Ultimate Zhenshou Beast Star Core, as described in the Inherited Memory, has an original energy capacity identical to its own.
Half Star Realm, original energy capacity doubles.
In battles or in daily training, various abilities can be freely exercised, no longer fearing depletion of original energy like before.
Dragon Cypress feels that beginning with Half Star Realm, age advancement evolution will no longer involve molting, only breakthroughs in major realms; for instance, future promotion to Planet Realm will bring metamorphosis.
"First Level Origin Force Life, Universe Lifeform!"
"Placed within a civilization, this constitutes the completion of the leap from Zero Level Primitive Civilization to First Level Star System Civilization."
Dragon Cypress clearly senses the ability to break free from the constraints of a Life Planet, entering the Outworld Space environment, possessing the capability to traverse from one Life Planet to another.
Within the Star System, anywhere under the coverage of Origin Point Energy can be traveled freely.
Just that the speed is relatively slow, requiring a longer time, less convenient than the Star Spider.
However, as the Half Star Realm continues to grow and evolve, speed increases, allowing free crossings among Life Planets within the Star System.
Dragon Cypress further senses its own self.
Also consistent with Ink Orchid and others, lifespan upper limit reaches an extreme of 50,000 years; about 11,000 years consumed, leaving nearly 40,000 years of life.
Starting with Half Star Realm, original energy released by the Star Core refines the body, significantly enhancing body functions; upon reaching Planet Realm, body and soul age synchronously; at Star Realm, the body almost ceases aging, only the soul ages.
Planet Realm life extension must simultaneously restore youthful vitality to both body and soul.
Star Realm life extension primarily focuses on the soul.
Dragon Cypress is confident in its lifespan, considering both immediate and long-term, there is no concern about insufficient lifespan.
The mind shifts slightly, communicating with the Dominating Throne.
As expected, the number of Ant Egg produced per batch has increased to 28.
Two days per batch, average 14 per day.
When expansion of the ant colony is needed, committing fully, over 5,000 ants can be cultivated in a year.
Dragon Cypress discovers a new issue.
The Dominating Throne evolves with itself, advancing to Half Star Realm level, showing a slight change, that is the limit for storing Origin Force becomes stable and precise, identical to the capacity of its own Star Core.
At this moment, the Throne below absorbs Natural Primordial Force slowly and uniformly, automatically replenishing.
Dragon Cypress withdraws its spirit and mind, sensing itself, calculating with the Super Brain, getting an approximate number.
The quantity of stored original energy in the flesh, Star Core, and Dominating Throne, converted to Primordial Crystal, is approximately equivalent to 3.3 to 3.5 million.
The Half Star Realm Dominating Throne is sufficient to carry itself around within the Star System freely.
Yet, the speed of the Throne has long lagged the pace of Dragon Cypress, seemingly somewhat redundant.
The formerly omnipotent Dominating Throne, with the strengthening of Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid’s abilities, the functions like earthwork, flight, and cargo carrying have gradually been phased out, now only egg production, evolution support, and Repair Seed remain useful.
...
"Dragon Cypress Ant King?"
"Great King?"
"Great King, have you succeeded?"
"Great King, shall we hold a banquet to celebrate?"
Outside the King Nest, the call of Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, and Black Peach, a group of Assistant Kings.
Dragon Cypress arises, leaving the nest, giving orders:
"Round Cypress, go rest and adjust, prepare for evolutionary breakthrough."
"Fragrant Cypress, Black Sophora, go prepare a banquet; Second King is absent, let’s simply celebrate."
"Ghost Fan, Starry Cloud Cypress, Green Heart, go take a walk and inform Ink Orchid and the others."
...
Dragon Cypress personally goes to the cold storage to pick two cans of Ant King Honey and two cans of Ant King Pearl of Star Realm level.
Arriving below the Azure Divine Seed Tree,
First, opens a can of Ant King Pearl, opens its mouth and gulps it down.
Original energy enters the stomach, quickly dissolves, absorbed into the blood, flows and disperses throughout the body, then converges towards the brain along the bloodstream, automatically injecting into the Ultimate Zhenshou Beast Star Core, circles within the Star Core, then feeds back out, merges into the bloodstream circulating through the body...
After wandering back and forth ten circles, a can of Divine-Given Origin Force Food worth 100,000 Primordial Crystals has consumed its original energy.
Clearly feels that both Star Core and physique have simultaneously improved.
—Comfortable!
Dragon Cypress opens another can of Ant King Pearl, gulps it down, easily absorbing within a brief moment.
—Unsatisfied.
Dragon Cypress opens a can of Ant King Honey, opens its mouth, then closes it.
This can is meticulously concocted delicious Azure Ant King Honey using Divine-Given Azure Fruit as the raw material.
Dragon Cypress’s heart suddenly moves, the tentacle lightly taps to generate a Water Sphere, sweeps through, emptying the honey from the can.
The Water Sphere suddenly shrinks, turning Azure in color, spins rapidly, refining.
Dragon Cypress moves its thoughts again.
The Water Sphere splits into two, forming a large and a small bead.
Shrinking drastically.
Soon forms two blue Ant King Pearls, one large and one small.
One pure Water System Primordial Energy fluctuation.
While the other is a tiny Ant King Pearl a mere two to three millimeters in diameter with Strength System Primordial Energy fluctuation.
The Azure Divine Seed’s talent is purely Water System.
