This is obviously encircling and protecting the Divine-Given Seed!

Dragon Cypress: "Doesn't seem like something the ant colony would do..."

Ink Orchid's antennae stood upright, "Are there Little Warriors?"

Dragon Cypress solemnly moved its antennae, "The medium and small Soldier Ants and Green Soldiers I bred during the Lord-Level Stage are gradually aging and dying. The natural ecosystem in various Origin Force Lands of Cloud Trace Continent is gradually restoring. More wild insects are appearing, and it's normal for Little Warriors to be born."

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid simultaneously activated their Soul-Setting Ability to sense, and they discovered something at the same time.

A vague soul was moving toward them.

The distance wasn't far.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid both expanded their spiritual power to scan, followed by a sense of novelty.

In the dark of night, a 4-5 cm long insect emitting a yellow-green fluorescence, with two bright round spots on its head, appeared.

Judging by its appearance, it's a Blattidae Clan Warrior...

A night-glowing Blattidae Clan...

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid searched through their Inherited Memory.

"A Fluorescent Cockroach?"

"White-Edged Luminous Roach!"

"It doesn't look like it just emerged..."

"In the 2nd Age Period? This is the tropics; it should have Awakened last autumn and evolved once on its own."

The Fluorescent Cockroach Little Warrior, familiar with the path, swiftly ran between the weeds and fallen leaves, heading straight towards the Purple Three Leaf.

Suddenly becoming wary, it hid under a dead leaf, cautiously peeking out, clearly shocked by the mountain-like figures of Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid.

"Little one, don't be afraid, we're kind insects..."

Ink Orchid tried to gently call with spiritual power, introducing, "I'm called Ink Orchid, Insect King of Ink Orchid. This one is called Dragon Cypress, Dragon Cypress Ant King."

—Insect King!

—Ant King!

—Kind insects?

The Fluorescent Cockroach Little Warrior was so frightened it didn't dare to move.

"Little one, did you discover this Divine-Given Seed?"

Dragon Cypress inquired.

—Yes! My Divine-Given Seed!

Upon hearing this, the Little Warrior shivered, mustered courage, and stepped out from the dead leaves, slowly approaching.

"Mine!"

"I know it's yours. Lucky little one."

Dragon Cypress praised and reassured, "Don't worry, Ink Orchid and I are top-level Insect Kings of the Star Realm and aren't interested in this kind of weed-type Divine-Given Seed."

Ink Orchid proudly declared, "Rest assured, both Dragon Cypress and I have dozens of Divine-Given Seeds. This year, in Xianglan Mountain, a tree-type Divine-Given Seed is being nurtured, so we aren't interested in this one."

The Little Warrior questioned, "Xianglan Mountain?"

"Xianglan Mountain was... once the Territory of Dragon Cypress and me."

Ink Orchid asked, "Little one, what's your name?"

"..."

The Fluorescent Cockroach Little Warrior pondered slightly and answered, "Purple Three Leaf!"

The little one temporarily gave itself a name, simultaneously declaring the ownership of the Divine-Given Seed being nurtured.

Purple Three Leaf asked, "Mighty Dragon Cypress Ant King, are all the ant colonies in the Land of Origin Force yours?"

Dragon Cypress: "Yes. This used to be my Territory, but now it's a no-man's land. Those are leftover ants."

Ink Orchid: "You're lucky you weren't eaten by the big ants."

Purple Three Leaf: "..."

Purple Three Leaf: "Every day I dodge their pursuit. I hide during the day and only dare to come out at night."

The remaining ants in the Land of Origin Force are Lord-Level Specialized Ants and a few Large Ants. They are very intelligent. Without commands from an Ant King or Assistant King, they won't harm Origin Force Life.

Dragon Cypress didn't explain much further, asking, "Purple Three Leaf, are you in the 2nd Age Period?"

Purple Three Leaf: "Yes."

Dragon Cypress: "What about the first Life Seed?"

Purple Three Leaf: "Every day there's terrifying big ant activity; I haven't found a safe place to plant it."

Dragon Cypress: "What plant?"

Purple Three Leaf: "Cypress Tree Seed, I don't know it..."

Ink Orchid: "Could it be a Silver Cypress Tree?"

Dragon Cypress: "Where do you live? Can you bring it over for a look?"

Purple Three Leaf turned and left, heading to a small, sheltered nest chamber dug using the roots and terrain under a Rain Tree just twenty meters away.

A hollow tree trunk with dry grass leaves stuffed in it.

Purple Three Leaf laboriously carried it out of the nest chamber.

Ink Orchid used an ability, pulling it over with a water line.

Inside was a Cypress Tree Seed with faint Origin Force Fluctuations.

It should be a Silver Cypress 4003 Seed.

Dragon Cypress couldn't help but praise, "Little one, you have an eye. You've chosen the top-level plant seed of the entire Land of Origin Force as your Life Seed."

Purple Three Leaf raised a claw to point, saying, "Over there, the Cypress Forest."

Dragon Cypress: "That was cultivated by me, Silver Cypress Trees, top-level plant seeds."

Purple Three Leaf: "Top-level plant seeds?"

The Inherited Memory had no concept of top-level plant seeds.

Dragon Cypress explained in detail, "They are plant seeds with a high standard of Origin Force Food yield, quality, and strengthening effect. In nature, such plants are extremely rare, more often selected and cultivated over a long time by warriors of the Insect Clan."

"Oh——"

Purple Three Leaf curiously asked, "Where do you live? There's no Origin Force around here; how did you come over? Does an Insect King not need Origin Force to survive?"

Dragon Cypress: "Of course we need it, we have the Dominating Throne, a creation from the Outworld Civilization, which allows Ink Orchid and me to cross the Origin Force Vacuum Land. This place is Cloud Trace Continent, currently in an Origin Force Silent Period, devoid of Origin Force, with only a few, like this Land of Origin Force..."

Dragon Cypress briefly explained the situation of Cloud Trace Continent.

Purple Three Leaf was too weak, and after a brief exchange, its spiritual power was exhausted.

Dragon Cypress returned to the edge of the Land of Origin Force, brought over the Dominating Throne, shrank it to a diameter of 4-5 cm, and placed Purple Three Leaf on the Throne to rest and recover.

"Dragon Cypress, how to arrange it? Leave it in the Areca Rainforest? Take it back to Rainbow Island?"

"It definitely can't be left alone in the Areca Rainforest. As for Rainbow Island, that's even less of a consideration. If it gets attacked on the island, below the level of Insect King, there's no way to escape."

"Scarletlight Mountain? Mulberry is also of the Blattidae Clan, Mulberry would certainly be willing to take care of it. Xianglan Mountain? It could settle on the southern side of the mountain range. Silver Cypress 4 series trees have a pretty good cold resistance."
