Ant Lord in the Star Realm

The space is unstable, up ahead, the originally square case seems to be stretching and deforming.

Crack! Crack!

Dragon Cypress's metallic ability burst forth from within, the two-layered case lid closes and locks securely.

"Hiss~"

"Whew~"

Both Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid feel uncomfortable all over, their hearts and minds are exhausted, breathing rapidly.

Ink Orchid leaps onto the Radiant Throne, drifting away.

"Spiked Cypress, Silver Cypress, protect Second King!"

"Giant Cypress, Black Birch, protect me."

Under the shock of spiritual power, Dragon Cypress issues commands, from its forehead, an Azure Water Drop floats out, rapidly forming into a stream of water, enveloping its entire body, turning into a sphere over ten meters in diameter.

In the distance, Ink Orchid takes the lead, natural primordial force rapidly gathers, forming a light cocoon.

Inside the Azure Water Sphere, Dragon Cypress follows suit, absorbing natural primordial force, the entire water sphere is subsequently engulfed into the light cocoon.

The ants in the Military Department swiftly act, deploying the Soldier Ants for defensive alert.

Adaptive Evolution Ability, usually triggers 'Pupa Change' only under fatal threats, quite dangerous.

White Willow stationed at Xianglan Mountain, Purple Three Leaf, as well as Chairman White Ivy's group who came to watch, step forward to help, scattering to guard nearby.

Late at night,

Dragon Cypress, focusing primarily on adaptation and transformation, completes first, breaking out of the cocoon.

Black Peach and Black Cory rush forward.

"Great King, are you alright?"

"Great King, how's it going?"

"Great King, is it okay now?"

"Very well! Everything should be fine now."

Pupa Transformation cannot be autonomously controlled, Dragon Cypress's compressed petite form restored to a normal large size of over five meters.

Stretching legs and arms, examining itself,

The various Divine-Given Origin Force Foods previously consumed to enhance physique seem to have fully exerted their effects now, with noticeable improvements in carapace strength and muscle resilience.

Waiting a little longer,

Ink Orchid also successfully completes the pupa transformation adaptation.

All insects retreat farther away, hiding ten kilometers out.

Preparing once more,

Dragon Cypress opens the double-layered case covers of the metal case.

Facing that kind of pressure again,

It's much easier for Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid now.

Inside the double-layered black case, there's another heavy silver-gray square metal box.

Three layers of protection, triple insurance.

Dragon Cypress uses spiritual power mind control, opens the internal mechanism and secret lock of the silver-gray metal case, controlling it, the case lid opens a slit.

Inconceivable, uncontrolled law power bursts forth wantonly, tearing the surrounding space into rifts, refracting into deep purple-red slender optical fibers.

Tens of thousands of optical fibers form a deep purple-red hazy light cluster with a coverage radius of seven to eight hundred meters.

The rifts continually generate and heal, simultaneously, the space twists back and forth, with these deep purple-red optical fibers like moss strands in the stream, continuously twisting and drifting.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid quickly retreat far away, simultaneously deploying spiritual power, scanning through the spatial rift in a flash.

"No! I can't do it!"

Ink Orchid's soul strength is only at the Half Star Realm, spiritual power released, yet before it could sense, it's shredded.

Dragon Cypress has soul strength at Planet Realm, the situation is slightly better, spiritual power extends and retracts, in that instant, clearly senses the contents inside the case:[two segments of flesh-covered ghastly white front paw fingers, two crystalline snowy white teeth]

—Blood threads within the teeth indeed have faint activity!

—With flesh and blood, just directly mimic it?

A thought flashes in Dragon Cypress's mind, the mind turns, with a snap, the third layer of the silver-gray metal box closes.

With two consecutive snaps, the metal box shuts tight, the turbulent space calms down.

Ink Orchid quickly steps forward.

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress's strength is truly impressive."

"..."

Dragon Cypress can't help but counter sarcastically: "That's great. Second King can finally speak insect language correctly."

"I'm speaking seriously to you!"

Ink Orchid's tone is stern, seriously asks: "How is it? Is it feasible?"

Dragon Cypress nods its tentacle, says: "Confirmed that it's possible to simulate and restore the racial bloodline traits based on the Space Overlord's corpse remains! The difficulty shouldn't be very high."

Dragon Cypress also shakes its tentacle saying: "The residual power is too strong, the commotion too large, can't do it in the Territory, will disturb the neighboring insects."

Ink Orchid raises a claw pointing north, suggesting: "We can go to the planet's Arctic insect-free zone to operate."

Dragon Cypress thinks for a moment, says: "Let's see the situation first."

Dragon Cypress then considers for two seconds, speaks: "Mimicking the bloodline is relatively simple, mimicking the soul is the most difficult. I estimate, we'll still have to wait for Spikemoss to break through to the Star Realm, whether it works will mainly depend on Spikemoss."

Ink Orchid: "..."

"Cypress Ant King!" White Willow flashes swiftly, rushing over first.

Led by White Ivy, a large group of insects, each displaying mobility abilities, subsequently arrive.

Dragon Cypress relates the situation in detail, finally looking at White Ivy whose eight eyes are emitting intense red light, says:

"Chairman White Ivy, we'll use the thing first. Once we're done with it, we'll sell it to you at a low price in the future."

White Ivy: "Alright!"

White Ivy solemnly, gratefully says: "Thank you!"

This thing is extremely important for White Ivy, Silvergrass, Poison Bean, and Fish Vine. They all have awakened spatial talents at the Third Trace Realm, yet to date, of the four spiders, not a single one has comprehended a spatial ability.

In such circumstances, either hibernate and spend several thousand or ten thousand years meditating to strengthen the Spatial System.

Or find some special treasures for assistance.

Just at the moment, the remains of the Space Overlord can somewhat serve as a help.

...

Red Peach asks: "Cypress Ant King, is there still a 'Solitary Wolf' Overlord corpse? Can we take a look?"

"Hmm—"

Dragon Cypress waves its claw to signal everyone to step back.

Solitary Wolf's remains aren't valuable, Upright Lotus provided two teeth, a piece of scalp, a segment of spine, a sharp claw.

It's similarly a metal case with three layers of protection.

However, it's a System and Water System Ice Frost power.

Severely depleted, only some bones and fur remain.

Compared to the Space Overlord's remains, the power is ten thousand times weaker.

At close range,

Dragon Cypress's Ultimate Zhen Beast Star Core, Ink Orchid's Ultimate Morlan Star Core, merely flicker a few times before adapting.

Other insects, adapt in two rounds.

...

This adventure's gains were displayed in full.

Everyone gathered by the lakeside, under the Azure Divine Seed Tree, for a simple meal and celebration.

White Ivy's group continues busy with trade.

The other insects on Xianglan Mountain either go back to work or hibernate.

Ink Orchid, unwilling to forego the 3000 Primordial Crystals annual salary, goes to work for Luoli Chamber of Commerce, upholding order in the Venus Star System.

Dragon Cypress opens a cave on an unnamed desolate mountain thirty kilometers away from Xianglan Mountain, first using the Solitary Wolf's exuviae segments to sense, analyze, and mimic.

Lacking flesh, the difficulty is quite high.

Residing within the cave,

The metal case placed in the front, with both layers of metal case cover fully opened, the third cover cracked open slightly, an intense Ice Frost Law Power perpetually pervading.

Purple-Red Technology Star Core is placed to the left.

Black and White ordinary Technology Star Core placed on the right.

The Super Brain Ability launched, operating fully, analyzing, and deducing.

Zhen Beast morphs with flesh and blood into 'Solitary Wolf' form, constantly adjusting, attempting with the Technology Star Core.

...

Time flows quietly,

Failing countless times.

Finally, one day, the paw of the Zhen Beast-transformed 'Solitary Wolf' touches the ordinary Technology Star Core, faintly eliciting a reaction.

Zhen Beast's power shows signs of integrating into the Technology Star Core!

Dragon Cypress's mind spins rapidly, Water System Primordial Energy bursts forth, the Solitary Wolf form of Zhen Beast contracts sharply, transforming into a water drop, collected back, severing contact.

It waves its claw to move away the ordinary Technology Star Core.

Its gaze shifts to the Purple-Red Technology Star Core.

Minds moves again, Azure Water System flows from the forehead's Ultimate Zhen Beast Divine Pattern, expands and stretches, reforms into Solitary Wolf shape, lifts its paw, presses onto the Purple-Red Technology Star Core.

No reaction.

Repeated attempts.

No success.

Dragon Cypress immediately understands that the Purple-Red Technology Star Core is special, likely only the Space Overlord can merge with it.

Cleans up, returns to Xianglan Mountain to briefly relay the situation, and sets out alone, heading toward the Arctic of Twisted Blue Star.
