Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Night Fragrance calmly said: "The fruit is ripe and can be harvested now."

After speaking, the two leaves attached to the fruiting branch on the tree began to wither and fall, starting from the tips.

The fruit completed its final color change.

Ink Orchid activated the hydra tentacles, carefully picking the fruit.

Five of them were placed in a metal can, sealed with Bee King Jelly.

——Divine-Grade Fruit worth over three million Star-Level!

The remaining two were passed around for inspection by everyone.

All the insects had seen them once.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid each took one, returned to the Short-Handled Horn Tree nest, directly used them, and fell asleep.

Two days later,

Ink Orchid was the first to wake up, buried its head in a burst of insight, cheered, and flashed to the Double-Colored Mulberry Tree.

Double-Colored Mulberry: "???"

Ink Orchid: "???"

Double-Colored Mulberry: "My second mark is about to be completed. Mantis, whether you have something or not, don’t disturb me. You ruin my mood, affect my growth, and you have to take responsibility."

"Really? Let me check!"

Ink Orchid was momentarily wary, hesitated, then a thought transformed, and the star mark in the shape of a gray-white trumpet flower lit up above its head.

Double-Colored Mulberry’s soul consciousness momentarily blurred, the surrounding scenery changed into a dense jungle in full bloom.

The sunlight was warm in the sky.

Birds sang on the branches.

The fragrance of flowers lingered.

In this drowsy, pleasant time, the tree forgot all worries and the involvement of schemes from a moment ago.

"Ha! Ha!"

Raucous laughter broke the beautiful tranquility, Ink Orchid’s figure appeared high in the air, overlooking from on high.

"Double-Colored Mulberry! You’re lying! Your second mark is far from completion!"

"You’re scared!"

"Huh!"

"You’re really bad! You’ve been trying to sow discord between me and Dragon Cypress?"

"You even want to drive a wedge between Dragon Cypress and King Cypress?"

"You also want to sow discord between Azure and King Cypress!"

"You’re trying to replace King Cypress and seize control of the Thousand-Year Tree?"

"If you get the Thousand-Year Tree, you can control all the insects?"

"Oh! You even want to replace Dragon Cypress as the Great Leader? Dream on!"

"Bastard! You even want to demote me to the lowest-level temporary hire?"

"Your soul consciousness is filled with bad intentions! You’re rotten to the core! Hopeless!"

Double-Colored Mulberry: "..."

Double-Colored Mulberry was furious, wanting to speak, but found its spiritual power couldn’t lock onto Ink Orchid, and couldn’t pass messages.

Ink Orchid: "You’re doomed! I’m going to tell everyone about your plans!"

Double-Colored Mulberry: "..."

Ink Orchid: "This ability is really useful! The only downside is that the name ’Heart Realm of Tree Blossom’ isn’t pleasant, it’s better to call it ’Flower God True Realm’, it’s more resounding and imposing!"

Double-Colored Mulberry: "..."

Ink Orchid: "Double-Colored Mulberry, what do you think?"

Double-Colored Mulberry: "..."

Ink Orchid: "Good! Not speaking means you agree. Then later, you’ll propose the name change. Better behave, or else you know the consequences, don’t you? If Dragon Cypress finds out you’re plotting rebellion, you’ll never get to eat Primordial Gemstone in your life."

Double-Colored Mulberry: "..."

Ink Orchid: "Not speaking means you agree? Excellent. Behave wisely."

Ink Orchid withdrew the ability.

Double-Colored Mulberry turned its spiritual power, and bitterly said: "Night Fragrance! Fool! I could crush you easily!"

Night Fragrance indifferently said: "Such words, evolve to the Half-Star Realm first and then speak with that strength."

Ink Orchid’s figure flickered, descending beneath the Night Fragrance Divine-Given Seed tree.

White Ivy eagerly asked: "Ink Orchid, how is it?"

Ink Orchid: "Very strong! Consistent with Night Fragrance’s predictions! No issues at all! Everyone can be completely assured, and the value is consistent with the evaluations from Kansui and Chairman Giant Taro."

Double-Colored Mulberry agreed: "I must admit, this ability is a bit formidable. However, from the perspective of a tree, the name isn’t quite appropriate, I suggest changing it to ’Flower God True Realm’ for a better fit and more impact."

Double-Colored Mulberry added: "For selling products, you should first have a compelling, catchy name that makes insects want to buy it. If the name is lackluster, things won’t sell well either."

Hmm~ yes~ Ink Orchid seriously nodded, moving its tentacle in agreement, without speaking.

Night Fragrance softly said: "Double-Colored Mulberry, you must have had some lethal leverage on you that Ink Orchid discovered when reading your soul memory?"

Double-Colored Mulberry angrily said: "What could I possibly have for Mantis to grab onto?"

Double-Colored Mulberry furiously said: "When Ant wakes up, I must suggest, there needs to be a rule prohibiting the use of this broken ability on our own insects and trees!"

Double-Colored Mulberry finally said calmly: "One more thing, I need to remind everyone that Mantis has a small heart and a particularly strong sense of revenge. If reason doesn’t work, it will use its ability, terrible insect quality. I suggest from now on, no one should speak with it or trust its words."

Black Yellow softly said: "It seems like Double-Colored Mulberry was truly caught up in some bad intentions discovered by Ink Orchid."

Junior Orchid: "That must be the case, right?"

Southern Gorgon: "Agreed."

Northern Gorgon: "Seconded."

Fruit-Scented Orchid: "Ink Orchid, share what you found out."

Cuihua Hanlan: "What’s going on? Tell us."

Without waiting for Ink Orchid to speak, Double-Colored Mulberry confessed: "I indeed had a little bit of bad intention that Mantis saw through. However, Mantis isn’t a good insect either. It’s using this to threaten me, forcing me to suggest renaming the ability granted by the Divine-Grade Night Fragrance Fruit... utterly shameless!"

Double-Colored Mulberry furiously said: "I, Double-Colored Mulberry, am an upright creature, daring to think and act. Threaten me? Mantis, go to hell, you!"

Mantis: "..."

Mantis angrily said: "I’ve said it out loud!"

Double-Colored Mulberry casually said: "You can say it, feel free, speak in detail."

Mantis: "When Dragon Cypress wakes up, I’ll tell it directly."

Double-Colored Mulberry: "No need to wait. Let me call it up for you."

"Don’t make a fuss!"

Mantis hurriedly shouted: "Stop messing around! Don’t disturb Dragon Cypress’s realization of ability!"

...

...

Dragon Cypress woke up slightly later, after half a day, simply perceiving and trying the ability, confirming it was without error, and felt elated.
