Ant Lord in the Star Realm

White Ivy listed the valuables eloquently, introducing them one by one based on the listeners’ interests.

——There are so many good things on the home planet!

Ant King Amorpha and the two Assistant Kings listened with delight, their tentacles curling with excitement and anticipation.

Going deeper into the territory,

they passed through a forest,

Red Peach suddenly lifted a claw and asked, "Ant King Amorpha, is that some variant of the Construct Tree? A Soul Constructing Tree?"

"Yes..."

Ant King Amorpha instinctively tensed, then relaxed and candidly explained:

"An extremely rare, valuable Soul System plant species! Don’t even think about it; seeds are not for sale. It’s not about the price. The Soul Constructing Tree is fundamental to our Halberd White Ants Kingdom’s foothold in the Star Space."

Red Peach hurriedly said, "Ant King Amorpha, don’t misunderstand. We understand this naturally. I was just purely curious, that’s all."

Ant King Amorpha countered, "Surely you know about other Soul System plant species, right?"

"There is indeed relevant information."

White Ivy, righteously, said, "But, likewise, we cannot casually disclose such information..."

...

...

Fish Vine, piloting the Star Spider, left the South 6347 District Halberd White Ants territory, heading onto the main road and accelerated.

"Chairman White Ivy is really amazing!"

"Chairman White Ivy is the most incredible roving merchant in the universe!"

Fish Vine praised with vigor before asking, "Chairman White Ivy, where are we heading next?"

In high spirits, White Ivy pondered their next location for sales...

Red Peach slowly said, "South of District 6347, directly south should be District 6847, right? Let’s go take a look!"

Fish Vine: "???"

White Ivy: "???"

Red Peach said, "Isn’t Dragon Cypress Ant King inquiring about Soul System plant species? It’s impossible to obtain Six Paths Wood, but this Soul Constructing Tree might have a slim chance!"

Fish Vine and White Ivy remained puzzled.

Construct Trees also have male and female plants. Halberd White Ants concentrate their female plants for sowing and heavily guard them.

White Ivy: "Steal?"

Fish Vine: "Red Peach, do you think seeds might fall into neighboring territories?"

Red Peach analyzed, "Construct Trees differ greatly from Six Paths Wood. Six Paths Wood consists of single seeds, with distinct male and female colors, making them easy to distinguish. Construct Tree seeds cluster together, with both male and female in the cluster, making them hard to differentiate and separate. The Termites can’t eliminate male seeds before maturity like the Six-Spiked Cloud Ants."

"Moreover, the fruit of the Construct Tree is highly attractive to bugs and birds for consumption. There’s a good probability, perhaps one could say, there’s a chance that birds might eat the fruit and carry the seeds outside the territory, spreading and surviving elsewhere."

Red Peach: "District 6347 is already very far south. The winter temperatures are low, and no insects settle there. Further south, there’s likely to be an insect-free zone. Let’s go check it out."

Red Peach added, "Of course. Such a thing, to put it nicely, is looking for seeds, but in essence, it’s stealing. Our caravan can’t do it; we’ll assess the situation and then inform Dragon Cypress Ant King to let him arrange it himself."

——Red Peach made a valid point!

Both White Ivy and Fish Vine’s eyes shone brightly.

...

Xianglan Mountain.

A hundred-meter-tall Giant Ant stood in the center of the earthen plaza, surrounded by crackling lightning and crackling explosive sounds.

Dragon Cypress repeatedly attempted to fuse Cangyan Flame Touch with the Ant-Shaped Zhen Beast.

Fish Vine drove the Star Spider over.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, good news! We’ve found a new Soul System Divine God-Given Seed!"

"It originates from the Halberd White Ants Kingdom."

"Half Star Realm, Construct Soul Divine-Given Seed, with a blossom-fruit cycle of 39 years, each batch producing 7 fruits, named ’Soul Constructing Fruit,’ granting an ability called ’Mental Spike’..."

Before the introduction was complete, Ink Orchid jumped with joy, saying, "I need this ability!"

White Ivy looked at Dragon Cypress.

Dragon Cypress asked, "Since the Divine God-Given Seed has reached the Star Realm level, shouldn’t it be time to leave?"

White Ivy: "Termites live long lives; there’s still time. In conversations, they mentioned waiting for the current Origin Force Reincarnation on the home planet to end to consume more Divine Grades before leaving."

Dragon Cypress twitched its tentacle, saying, "If it’s certain that the Halberd White Ants won’t leave for another ten thousand years, then there’s no rush. We’ll observe, and for each batch produced, trade for one."

"Good!"

White Ivy agreed and continued, "There’s one more thing, which I wouldn’t normally disclose, but since we’re on good terms, I’ll tell you."

"The Soul Constructing Tree is a stable Soul System plant species. The Halberd White Ants Kingdom is cultivating it on a large scale. Construct Trees also have separate male and female plants, but unlike the Six Paths Wood, Construct Tree fruit comes in clusters, easily eaten by birds and bugs, which carry seeds away."

"The Halberd White Ants Kingdom, originally bugs from the Origin Force cycle Dragon Bamboo Continent on the home planet, have been settled on Flying Wing Star for over ten thousand years. From my and Red Peach’s observations, over the long years, Construct Tree seeds inevitably spilled..."

"Moreover, ordinary Construct Trees need to root in temperate regions that cool and snow in winter, and most bugs, given a choice, will not settle in such places."

White Ivy explained the situation, finally saying, "When we passed by, we made sure to use the Soul-Setting Ability to scan: Districts 6348, 6846, 6847, 6848, none of them have insect settlements."

White Ivy didn’t elaborate, but the meaning was quite clear.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid exchanged glances.

Ink Orchid: "Should I go stealthily to look?"

Dragon Cypress solemnly asked, "Does the Soul Constructing Tree have any distinct features compared to the ordinary Construct Tree?"

Red Peach raised a claw, using the Water System Cloud Mist Ability to conjure up two lifelike large trees, saying, "The female tree has round leaves, with no obvious difference from ordinary Construct Trees in appearance, but overall, it appears taller. The male tree has distinct traits, with its leaf stems being scarlet in color."

Dragon Cypress: "Great!"

Dragon Cypress: "Second King, go secretly, stay hidden high above, use the Scorching Ability to scan and gather data, and use the Super Brain Ability to analyze and filter to see if you can find it."

Dragon Cypress instructed, "Remember, don’t scan towards the Halberd White Ants territory. If they detect our probing, it could spell trouble. Chairman White Ivy and the others just visited, and then got spied on; spreading such matters could severely damage the chamber’s reputation."

"Understood!"

Ink Orchid replied, and with a swish, disappeared on the spot.

White Ivy continued, "We’ve sold three Divine-Grade Night Fragrance Fruits, kept one for ourselves, and sold the other two. Our Tree Blossom Trust Card promotion is quite successful, but we’re running short. Dragon Cypress Ant King, please provide us with another 6 million denomination Trust Cards..."
