Ant Lord in the Star Realm

The Stone Orchid Life Seed nurtured during Ink Orchid's primary-level junior warrior period has finally comprehended the fourth trace, breaking through to advance to the Nine Traces Realm.

As of this,

after nearly fourteen thousand years, all insects, all Life Seeds, and all Wild Divine-Given Seeds on Xianglan Mountain have evolved to reach the Nine Traces Realm.

The divine-grade items from the home planet, including the three Soul System Divine-Grade Fruits of the Six-Spiked Cloud Ants Tribe on Six Peaks Mountain, have all been fully consumed.

White Ivy retrieves all distributed Tree Flower Trust Scrolls.

With nearly a hundred thousand ant colonies replenished later on Xianglan Mountain, there's no way they can all be taken, but they also can't be easily abandoned or ignored.

They approached the Luoli Chamber of Commerce and rented a plot in the colder snowy northern region of Twisted Blue Star at a low price of 1500 Primordial Crystals per year, relocating the entire ant colony there.

Renting for 5000 years should suffice; by that time, the ant colonies would have naturally aged and died.

Here in the Venus Star System, there is nothing left to cherish, and all aftermath work has been completed.

...

...

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, taking Pueraria with them, headed to North 4450 District to bid farewell to Yellow Stem and Wisteria.

The situation at Huagi Mountain is still somewhat complicated...

Initially, the Mountain Maple Leader invited Yellow Stem, Ivy, Spruce, Wuye, and other insects to join the Chamber of Commerce, with no issues, maintaining 3000 Primordial Crystals welfare per year.

However, later, every hundred years or so, two to three insects would arrive from the home planet, joining the Huagi Chamber of Commerce to receive welfare.

As time passed, the insect population in the Venus Star System exceeded a hundred, with most being Barley Bugs, consuming 400,000 to 500,000 Primordial Crystals in welfare annually, causing the Chamber's assets to plummet.

The Great Leader of the Huagi Chamber of Commerce did not understand what was happening here and thus revoked the Mountain Maple Leader's authority to add new members to the Chamber and even expelled all newly joined insects.

Having no choice, the Mountain Maple Leader led Ivy, Spruce, and Wuye Three Insects to the White Crystal Star System to explain the situation.

Yellow Stem and Wisteria, leading a large group of younger insects, are in hibernation, waiting for the Great Leader of the Huagi Chamber of Commerce to grant permissions and distribute welfare...

The vast mountain range lay silent.

"Boss Yellow!"

"Boss Yellow!"

The Artist transformed into a hollow-bellied Giant Ant form, carrying Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, teleporting directly to the entrance of Yellow Stem's cave.

"Rhubarb!"

"Frost Blossom."

Pueraria called out to Yellow Stem's two Divine-Given Seeds not far away.

The hibernating Yellow Stem was startled awake.

"Dragon Cypress. Ink Orchid."

Yellow Stem greeted, asking, "Are you leaving now?"

Ink Orchid: "Yes! We've already informed Chairmen Kansui and Giant Taro, in about 2 to 10 years, the next Third Level Star Spider will arrive, and we will depart on it."

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid didn't wait for a response, walking directly into the hall to receive guests.

Simultaneously, Yellow Stem emerged from the hibernation cave, eyeing Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, shifting his gaze back and forth before fixing on Pueraria, sighing lightly, reluctant:

"With this farewell, who knows how many tens of thousands of years until we meet again."

Ink Orchid retorted: "Yellow Stem, now that the Origin Force on the Cloud Trace Continent of the home planet has revived, do you want to stay in the Venus Star System and wait for another Origin Force cycle?"

"Of course!"

Yellow Stem: "A junior warrior came to inform us of the current state of the home planet. The Origin Force has initially revived; the Huagi, Quandong, and Linnan Divine Trees, along with the Jinhe, Purple Tung, Divine-Given Seeds, and numerous Wild Divine-Given Seeds, have already relocated back to Huagi Mountain."

"Is that so?"

Ink Orchid exclaimed with joy: "That's great! Then I'm relieved."

Dragon Cypress added: "Roughly estimating, this Origin Force cycle, Huagi Mountain could cultivate at least five thousand Shield Grasshopper Warriors, not to mention the Long Shield Grasshoppers and Barley Bug Warriors. The Huagi Chamber of Commerce will also develop into an insect population of over ten thousand, becoming a superpower!"

Ink Orchid: "And there are numerous divine-grade items and Divine-Given Seeds!"

——That is inevitable!

Yellow Stem nodded his tentacles in agreement, thinking with some pride.

Dragon Cypress jokingly said: "Boss Yellow, by then, you could be considered one of the founding ancestors of the Huagi Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh, no. I can't claim such a title. I have a bunch of ancestors above me."

Yellow Stem quickly wiggled his tentacles, looking at Pueraria, asking: "Are you here to see your Barley Bug juniors?"

"Yes. I'm here to say goodbye to them..."

Pueraria paused, then said: "I'll go wake Ziateng, Cornel, Beach Wheat, White-Hill Azalea, and Simss Azalea, and we'll all head to Xianglan Mountain for a final gathering and farewell."

Yellow Stem nodded his tentacles in agreement.

Ink Orchid's forehead shone with the Shanglu Divine Pattern as five intricately crafted Metal Cans floated onto the stone platform.

"Freshly harvested Divine-Grade Baihe Fruits, a parting gift."

Dragon Cypress: "Yellow Stem, eat one yourself. Also, think about who will stay with you in the Venus Star System in the future, and give them one each."

"Thank you!"

Yellow Stem, choked with emotion for two seconds, heavily said: "Thank you, Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, thank you!"

Dragon Cypress nonchalantly replied: "It's nothing."

Ink Orchid enthusiastically added: "We've been old friends for fifteen thousand years; Boss Yellow, please accept it without hesitation!"

Dragon Cypress shifted the topic, proactively stating: "After Ink Orchid and I head to the White Crystal Star System, no matter what, we will go to the Sheep Hoof Armor Star System, Saddle Leaf Star, to find the 'Pond Silk Chairman' at District 1001 branch of the Luoli Chamber of Commerce, and leave our final settled address."

"Yellow Stem, in the future, when the Huagi Divine Tree and others come up, do remember to notify Ink Orchid and me."

"Definitely!"

Yellow Stem: "That sounds good. Amidst the vast starry sea, let's not lose contact."

Ink Orchid: "Perhaps in the future, there might be an opportunity for us to work together on big projects."

Yellow Stem reluctantly nodded his tentacles in approval.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid didn't undertake many such big tasks, like exterminating the Termite Kingdom and Blue Ant Tribe, but such life-threatening matters, it's best not to collaborate on.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"
