Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 621 - 564: Law Divine Tree_2

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Yes—"

Snow Velvet Spider King said regretfully: "In the previous Origin Force Reincarnation, they also collected many Source Stones on Thousand Trees Continent, but unfortunately didn't have time to transport them away."

Shanglu Divine Tree: "Are they well hidden? Draw a map and send it back, there will definitely be a chance in the future." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"That's also the intention of Aconite Spider King."

Snow Velvet Spider King twisted its body left and right, looking around, and cautiously said: "Shanglu Divine Tree, there's another issue. Aconite Spider King means, an amount of ten billion Source Stones is too large. To transport them from Ten-thousand Tribes Continent through Wan Country Continent to Cloud Trace Continent, the journey is long and perilous. I fear that one single Spider King won't be enough; we'll need five Spider Kings together. Let's choose one each from Round Purple, Grape Hydrangea, Illusory Color, Diaphus, and White-Legged clans."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Old Spider Kings around became anxious.

—They want 5 Divine-Grade Shanglu Fruits?

—This is extortion!

—Deliberate troublemaking!

—They have no sincerity at all!

—This goes against the rules!

...

Divine-Grade Shanglu Fruit—one is produced only every 23 years. A whole bunch of old spiders in the Shanglu Ancestral Land are eagerly waiting for them.

If five are sent away, then for more than a hundred years in the future, Shanglu's side will have none, many of the older Spider Kings will directly lose their chance.

Shanglu Divine Tree said calmly: "Quiet!"

Shanglu Divine Tree asked: "Snow Velvet, what do you think?"

This is a fatal question~

If you say yes, you'll get beaten to death by the old Spider Kings around.

If you say you can't agree, then the transportation of resources back to the Shanglu Ancestral Land will be difficult.

Snow Velvet Spider King: "I can't see the opposite Steward Spider King. I have no opinion, it's entirely up to Shanglu Divine Tree to decide."

Shanglu Divine Tree: "I want you to judge the situation."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "The matter is, right now, this is a transaction between the Shanglu Ancestral Land and the Flame Spider Kingdom of Ten-thousand Tribes Continent. In this deal, one side must make a sacrifice. Who to sacrifice? Only you, Shanglu Divine Tree, have the right to decide."

Shanglu Divine Tree: "Then what do you think should be the decision?"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "I believe, Shanglu Divine Tree, you can discuss it with the other Spider Kings."

Snow Velvet Spider King leisurely tossed the problem back to Shanglu Divine Tree, firmly refusing to give any substantive opinion.

Shanglu Divine Tree cursed angrily: "Useless stupid spider! Assigning you the use of Shanglu Fruits was the one and only mistake in my endless years."

Shanglu Divine Tree said coldly: "Snow Velvet, you're crafty enough, you go figure out a way—exchange for 5 Divine-Grade Fruits that can extend a century of lifespan."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "..."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "...Yes!"

Shanglu Divine Tree said unquestionably: "Right now, in my judgment, Blood Root, Water Orchid, Fork Pillar, you three are just barely passable. You will extend your lifespan, and delay using a Divine-Grade Shanglu Fruit for another hundred years. Also, among those of the younger generation of Flame Spiders who are still roaming the continent and haven't retired to the forbidden land, select two more outstanding ones and report their names to me."

—Thank you, Shanglu Divine Tree!

—Shanglu Divine Tree's wisdom is unparalleled!

—Shanglu Divine Tree, what about me?

—And me?

—What should I do?

—Even so, we still lose 5 Divine-Grade Shanglu Fruits on our side!

Some spiders were overjoyed, some were frantic, and for a while everything under the tree was thrown into chaos.

"Sigh—"

Shanglu Divine Tree let out a long, desolate sigh. Rarely, its tone turned gentle and compassionate as it said: "Other spiders, those who should leave, just go. The world outside is vast and boundless, brimming with endless wealth and opportunities, with infinite room for growth. The road ahead stretches endlessly. You need not fixate on a single Divine-Grade Shanglu Fruit, and certainly don't hold grudges over it."

Shanglu Divine Tree: "Actually, in my eyes, none of you are all that special, even foolish. You are unworthy of my recognition. You're always eyeing the fruits on my tree, but you ignore my teachings. Let me give you one last word of advice today: as intelligent beings, the only indispensable thing is wisdom; everything else is irrelevant—power, status, wealth, even strength."

"..."

All the spiders fell silent.

"Shanglu Divine Tree's rebuke is right."

"I will remember Shanglu Divine Tree's teachings."

The spiders agreed.

Shanglu Divine Tree: "You all may go. Snow Velvet stays."

The spiders dispersed.

Shanglu Divine Tree was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, spatial ripples surged, and with a dizzying shift, the world around turned glowing green.

Shanglu Divine Tree stood proudly at the center of the misty green world.

Snow Velvet Spider King panicked and cautiously said: "Shanglu Divine Tree, it's all my fault for being stupid and clumsy, I messed things up."

Shanglu Divine Tree: "Little Snow Velvet, you did quite well, but..."

Shanglu Divine Tree paused, and with rare seriousness said: "Little Snow Velvet, I'll now tell you a secret you shouldn't know..."

Shanglu Divine Tree: "Before that, you need to understand that Divine-Given Seeds are not divided into high or low, noble or humble. From a plant's perspective, every Divine-Given Seed has infinite possibility. But you insects care more about the yield from a Divine-Given Seed, so from you Insect Clan Warriors' point of view, in terms of output, Divine-Given Seeds are ranked. To divide them into ordinary, excellent, top-level, and divine-grade is the shortsightedness of Insect Clan Warriors, but it is also a real problem."

Shanglu Divine Tree: "Snow Velvet, what I want to tell you is, above the Divine-Given Seed, there is yet another: the Law Divine Tree. In terms of Evolution Potential, the Law Divine Tree is superior to the Divine-Given Seed. In the Origin Force Star Realm, there will always be fifty-five Law Divine Trees born. In terms of yield and effect, they far surpass the Divine God-Given Seed. Law Divine Trees have a distinct feature: after consuming their fruit, one can directly condense a Divine Mark."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "!!!"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Shanglu Divine Tree, then you are...?"

Shanglu Divine Tree: "I can be counted as one, but I'm not among those 55. I'm not part of the natural sequence—I guess I'm the 56th Law Divine Tree."
