Ant Lord in the Star Realm

All the insects were taken aback.

Earlier, they had this idea, thinking about going over first to collect the wreckage...

Upright Lotus asked: "Is there anything else?"

Haimeng Ship: "Theoretically, the Twisted Primordial Energy Being in different positions might have slightly different power absorbed from the Overlord Realm wreckage, which could lead to different combat styles. The system focuses on close combat, with Water System Frost ability as the secondary."

"I analyze that you must be particularly wary of the Twisted Primordial Energy Being teleporting close to the Dragon Cypress Ant King, raising a hand... instant kill."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Upright Lotus: "Is there anything else?"

Haimeng: "Based on the data collected so far, this is all we can deduce."

Upright Lotus pondered slightly, and said: "Everyone rest for half a month, adjust your mindset, and we’ll start in half a month."

...

Ordinary Primordial Energy Beings are easy to deal with.

Ink Orchid can also come along.

...

Half a month later,

Chickpea stayed on the Starship.

The other insects departed, approaching the ruins through the Star Network passage.

Dragon Cypress controlled the Zhen Beast, transforming it into a Kirin Beast three thousand meters long, carrying all the insects, orbiting with high velocity at an altitude of one hundred thousand kilometers against the attraction of the ruins.

Upright Lotus stood at the head of the Kirin Beast, responsible for the front.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid were in the middle, responsible for the top and bottom directions.

Kansui and Giant Taro guarded the left and right, responsible for the horizontal directions.

Purple Cicada stayed at the rear, overseeing the top and bottom, helping Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid clean any omissions due to lack of power.

All the insects quickly released area-effect Spirit class attack abilities with maximum efficiency to clear ordinary Primordial Energy Beings.

Each time the Primordial Energy consumption exceeded two-thirds, they stopped, and Dragon Cypress manipulated the Zhen Beast, switching to the Dead Water State, creating an empty Water Sphere, where everyone hid to absorb Origin Point Energy for recovery.

For three consecutive months,

they returned to the Starship once to rest and eat in slumber.

...

Not only Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, but even the five old Spiders have never used Soul System Spirit class attack abilities at such high intensity and frequency ’in practice’.

Day after day, year after year, in continual refinement, they all made steady progress.

Two hundred and eighty years later,

the aggregation density of ordinary Primordial Energy Beings around the Solitary Wolf Ruins decreased by about one-thousandth, still layered and stacked, but not as tightly packed as before.

But that’s about it.

In a three-dimensional space with a radius of six hundred thousand kilometers, after millions or even billions of years of accumulation, the power of the Half Star Realm and Star Realm appeared small and insignificant at this scale.

Dragon Cypress had been deliberately honing their spiritual power contraction and expansion, with significant effects, enhancing speed by about one-third.

Within the Star Core, the trace corresponding to the Mental Spike ability had become solid and strong by three parts.

Dragon Cypress’s understanding and mastery of Soul System Spirit attack-type abilities also reached a new height.

Ink Orchid and the five old Spiders also achieved commendable accomplishments.

...

Calculating the time,

Haimeng Ship set off for the return journey.

...

[Time: Era 78-130 Year-656 month-3]

Twisted Blue Star, Xianglan Mountain.

High above the clouds, Rainbow Mulberry, who was honing their Dual System Teleportation abilities of wind and thunder, suddenly sensed something, turned to activate the Scorching Ability to look away.

In the distant skyline,

a black Cloud Mist Giant Ant and a nine-colored Cloud Mist Mantis were sprinting side by side, bursting into the northern territory of Zone 2528, heading straight towards Xianglan Mountain.

— Dragon Cypress Ant King!

— Ink Orchid!

"Squeak~"

Rainbow Mulberry cheered, sending out a ripple with spiritual power to shout:

"The Great King is back! The Second King is back!"

"Wake up quickly! Everyone wake up!"

"The Great King and the Second King have returned safely!"

The insects in deep slumber on Xianglan Mountain were startled awake.

The group from Yellow Peach Mountain, White Ivy and others, were also awakened and hurried over.

Lakeside,

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid’s figures transformed into a string of light shadows, gently landing beneath the Azure Divine Seed Tree.

"Azure!"

"Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, you’re back."

"Great King!"

"Second King!"

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

"Ink Orchid Leader!"

After a round of greetings,

White Ivy eagerly asked: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, Ink Orchid, was there any danger in the ruins? What did you gain?"

Ink Orchid: "...There was danger."

Dragon Cypress: "The estimate suggests there will be very rich rewards, but this wealth is not so easily obtained. The situation within the ruins was entirely beyond estimation, I’ve narrowly escaped death twice, and I’m unsure of what other dangers remain. A mid-term break, I’ve returned to evolve and grow once again before going back."

"Mainly due to the presence of a formal named entity, the ’Twisted Primordial Energy Being’, a deadly thing..."

White Ivy raised a claw to interrupt, "Twisted Primordial Energy Being?"

Dragon Cypress: "This involves another formally named entity, the ’Technological Star Core’ from the technology civilization creations..."

"I have a sample!"

Ink Orchid’s forehead Shanglu Divine Pattern faintly glowed, a black and white Primordial Crystal-like crystal appeared, floating towards White Ivy.

"This is the ’Technological Star Core’, a Spatial System material synthesized through unknown techniques, imitating a Star Core..."

Dragon Cypress tried hard to explain the situation clearly.

The high spirits of the insects and trees gradually subsided into heaviness.

Good things are indeed good things.

Mind-boggling technology civilization creations.

However, provoking a Half-Step Radiance Realm Twisted Primordial Energy Being, a slight mistake could mean losing one’s life. This task is extremely dangerous!

All the insects were filled with anxiety.

All the trees trembled in fear.

The usually silent King Cypress spoke solemnly: "Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, there are countless ways to make money and prosper, you’ve chosen the most dangerous one. This doesn’t seem like a wise choice."

Dragon Cypress: "Yes. Kind of foolish."

Foolish? Ink Orchid reminded: "As currently known, just the Technological Star Core alone accounts for a harvest of fifty billion."

The usually reticent White Poplar was filled with unease, couldn’t help but advise:

"Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, fifty billion isn’t that much, isn’t it just the revenue of our Xianglan Mountain Commerce Guild for three to four thousand years? There’s no need to risk your lives, right?"
