Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Sounds quite reasonable.

Dragon Cypress pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Purple Cicada also reading books?"

Fish Vine: "Yes."

"Alright. You continue developing your brain. I’ll go in and take a look!"

Dragon Cypress’s figure flickered, bypassed Fish Vine, and went directly to the back mountain.

Two large palaces constructed with Earth-Stone Ability.

One stored the third-level metal sculptures, guarded by Chickpea.

One stored books, guarded by Purple Cicada.

Purple Cicada was busy, controlling a book suspended in front, using Super Brain Ability to quickly flip through and sift.

A large pile of metal plates was neatly laid out in front, densely etched with characters. Whenever useful information was found, it was recorded.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King..."

Purple Cicada paused and asked, "Succeeded?"

"Half succeeded..."

Dragon Cypress briefly explained the situation, his gaze drifting to the nearby stack of metal plates.

Purple Cicada proactively introduced, "I’ve flipped through various books and have currently locked onto the names, appearances, Primordial Energy characteristics of 74 races, and the names of some star domains and important Origin Points within the White Tower Alliance’s 133 races and civilizations."

"Additionally, there are 21 civilizations that have interactions. Among them, 14 are confirmed not to belong to the White Tower Alliance, while the remaining 7 are uncertain due to insufficient information."

"Impressive!" Dragon Cypress sincerely admired.

Extracting useful information from over seven million books, from the vast sea of text, is not something an ordinary insect can do.

For instance, Chickpea next door couldn’t handle such meticulous, demanding, and brain-intensive work.

Captain Upright Lotus has broad vision, and when doing things, their thought process is clear, methodical, and quite reliable.

The matter of the relic really gives a glimmer of hope!

Dragon Cypress was inwardly tempted and asked, "Purple Cicada, how many of these books have you gone through?"

Purple Cicada estimated and replied, "About five percent."

Dragon Cypress asked, "Calculating the time, it seems there’s about thirty years left before Captain Upright Lotus and the others return, right?"

Purple Cicada: "Yes."

Dragon Cypress: "Then things are quite urgent. I’ll help you!"

Purple Cicada: "..."

Purple Cicada: "Alright!"

Purple Cicada raised a claw to point and said, "Over there is what I’ve put together, records of useful information from the books. Each metal plate records information about a civilization. Dragon Cypress Ant King, take a look, and familiarize yourself with the situation."

"Understood!"

Dragon Cypress stayed to help.

...

In the blink of an eye, thirty-three years passed.

Dragon Cypress was equally reliable, and with Dragon Cypress’s assistance, successfully gathered and organized detailed information about the 133 races and civilizations of the White Tower Alliance.

They also collected a lot of information about the ’Kester Elemental Body’ civilization, a vast, powerful, and highly aggressive technology civilization.

...

Upright Lotus, Kansui, and Giant Taro returned.

Purple Cicada, Chickpea, and Dragon Cypress went forward to greet them.

Exchange of greetings,

Chickpea asked, "How is it? Any significant discoveries?"

"Yes!"

Upright Lotus said, "We’ve re-scrutinized the entire relic and found some pictures depicting stars!"

Upright Lotus asked, "Purple Cicada, how are things on your side?"

Purple Cicada: "Collected a lot of important information!"

Purple Cicada eagerly said, "Let me see the star maps first!"

A slight space fluctuation appeared in front of Kansui, and a heap of drawings sealed with transparent material fell out.

"Here are two exciting discoveries! Take a look!"

Kansui separately picked out two painting works.

The first:

In the painting, a towering tree reaching the clouds.

Under the tree, a high tower with a pointed top made of white Stone.

The path leading to the White Tower’s entrance has a round pool in the central position.

In the pool’s center, three sculptures entirely wrapped tightly: White Robe, Black Robe, Color Robe.

The White Tower of the White Tower Alliance!

Starlight God, Observer, Artist—three major leaders!

Then, the towering tree behind must be the Law Divine Tree that bestows the Spatial System Talent: Unrestrained Stars.

The second:

The painting features the Universe Space with spots of starlight as the background, black, white, and color three starships are distributed in a triangle.

A warrior resembling a half-tree person, covered in lush greenery and bearing branches and leaves, seemed both plant-like and akin to flesh-and-blood life, floating at the central position of the three starships.

The bright white Energy released from the starships’ pointed tips connected.

"This is through the Law Divine Stone perception ability!"

"The combination of three major leaders and three starships forms a complete Spatial System Law Divine Stone."

"Starlight Authorization Ceremony!"

"Starlight Warrior comprehends Spatial Ability through the Spatial System Law Divine Stone and advances to ’Star Warrior’."

"It’s somewhat similar to the ’Ocean God’s Scepter’ I’ve encountered on the Home Planet~"

"Hiss—"

"Whew—"

Dragon Cypress, Purple Cicada, and Chickpea all breathed rapidly.

Dragon Cypress sighed and said, "Hopefully, the White Tower Alliance values this enough to pour resources into preserving the Law Divine Tree."

Chickpea struggled and said, "Confirmed, as long as there’s such a tree, it’s good..."

Purple Cicada: "As long as there’s a ray of hope, it’s worth trying!"

Upright Lotus looked toward Dragon Cypress and asked, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, how about it, shall we continue to collaborate?"

"An irresistible temptation!"

Dragon Cypress asked, "Captain Upright Lotus, what are your plans?"

Upright Lotus: "Kansui and Giant Taro will first take leave. Once the Chamber of Commerce sends insects to replace them, we’ll head directly to the Dawn Star System, review the Old Universe star maps, and see if we can lock onto the specific location of the White Tower Alliance with the information gathered. If it’s feasible, this would be a major achievement."

Upright Lotus followed up by saying, "Even if not, we should still return to the White Crystal Star System for development. We’ll find you when the time comes."

Dragon Cypress immediately understood,

These five old Spiders must be calculating that by then, King Cypress is already at Half Star Realm, and the insects of Xianglan Mountain and White Ivy Chamber of Commerce have all fed, entering a resting flower and fruit state.

At that time, to unexpectedly visit and discover a Law Divine Product, and considering everyone has such familiarity and has cooperated in planning big tasks, with persistent chatting, buying one...

In this situation, one cannot refuse...

Dragon Cypress knew it well and tapped his Tentacle to say, "In that calculation, it should be nearly twenty thousand years later. In the vast Star Sea, how will you find us?"

Kansui said, "It’s simple, when you arrive at the White Crystal Star System, you can go to Phoenix Eye Star Domain, Second Level Origin Point Sheep Hoof Armor Star System, Saddle Leaf Star, South 1001 District, and find Luoli Chamber of Commerce Branch’s ’Chairman Pond Silk’. Whether it’s renting land for establishing roots, renting Origin Points for development, buying Primordial Gemstones, or buying Star Spiders, you can ask him for assistance."

Giant Taro said, "Kansui and I will also relay the information back; Chairman Pond Silk will look out for you."

Dragon Cypress: "Alright—"

The insects discussed again for a while about finding the relic.

Giant Taro got familiar with checking books and joined in to help.

Upright Lotus, Chickpea, and Kansui built two large palaces, where they categorized and organized the art pieces collected from this journey.

Dragon Cypress stayed to help find various clues about the White Tower Alliance.

One day,

Upright Lotus suddenly came running over with a black-and-white abstract twisted painting.

"Found it! Key information!"

"’Crystal Divine Seat’s Mourning Souls’, based on my artistic judgment, this is a painting depicting a galaxy cluster."

"Here! The hidden title suggests that Crystal Divine Seat should be the name of the galaxy cluster! Both Kester Elemental Body Civilization and White Tower Alliance should be located within this galaxy cluster named ’Crystal Divine Seat’..."
