Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 729 - 599: The Tenth Fruit Expansion_2

Dragon Cypress: "Of course!"

Dragon Cypress: "Ink Orchid, cheer up, Rainbow Island is ours now."

Ink Orchid: "..."

Ink Orchid: "Dragon Cypress, I think we should start preparing in advance. Migrating to the Southern Hemisphere, no matter the situation, we'll need two or three Insect Clan warriors skilled in flight, dedicated to reconnaissance and relaying messages. White Willow? Red Moonseed? Snakebark Maple's Thunder System Ability is very strong! Even the picky and harsh Linnan Divine Tree keeps praising it."

Dragon Cypress: "Let's not consider that for now. I'll discuss it further after I break through to King-Level."

Scorching midsummer.

Ten-thousand Tribes Continent, Red Crow Mountain.

White Ivy walked with heavy steps along the sloping mountain path, arriving at the mountainside of Ghost King Peak.

Beneath the Blessed Seed Tree of Yulan, Dogtooth Violet Great Leader had been waiting for quite some time.

"Dogtooth Violet Great Leader!"

White Ivy greeted him, skillfully untying the Carapace Spider Silk Rope, taking off six Spider Silk Bags, and handing them over.

"White Ivy Spider King, you've worked hard."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader simultaneously handed two Spider Silk Bags to White Ivy, naturally accepting the ones White Ivy offered, opening them one by one to inspect, and asked:

"White Ivy Spider King, did something happen? Why are you so unhappy?"

"A massive problem."

"A massive problem? Is there any trouble in the Origin Force Star Realm that White Ivy Spider King can't handle?"

"There is~"

"Is it convenient to share? Maybe I can help out."

"Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, you truly can help, and what's more, you have no choice but to help."

"—Oh?"

"No choice but to help?"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader was confused by this, and pressed: "What kind of trouble?"

White Ivy: "Many of the Divine-Grade Fruits we agreed to years ago may not be deliverable in the short term. Moreover, for years to come, many Divine-Grade Fruits will be impossible to trade."

"???"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader's movements stilled, his huge body slowly standing upright.

White Ivy: "Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, there is a huge secret I have to tell you now."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader fell silent.

White Ivy asked: "To the west of the Wan Country Continent lies the Cloud Trace Continent, connected by a Starship Passage. Dogtooth Violet Great Leader, you should know about this, right?"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "Of course. Ancestors of our tribe once went to explore and brought back many good things manufactured by Outworld Civilizations."

White Ivy: "Then do you know that south of Cloud Trace Continent is Wanglan Continent?"

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "I know. Next to Wanglan Continent is Zhibai Continent, and your Flame Spider Roving Merchants' Ancestral Land, Shanglu, sits on Zhibai Continent."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader's mind stirred, and he immediately had a realization.

White Ivy: "There's a Starship Passage connecting Cloud Trace Continent and Wanglan Continent. And another Starship Passage connecting Wanglan Continent and Zhibai Continent..."

White Ivy: "Back when I was Lord-Level, I began specializing in the trade of Divine-Grade Fruits. Within this was perhaps a bit of my own skill, but even more, I relied on the support of another Flame Spider Elder. That elder is from the Southern Hemisphere, of the Shanglu Ancestral Land. Over the years, many of the Divine-Grade Fruits traded to Red Crow Mountain actually came from the Southern Hemisphere."

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader's tentacles stood straight, a sudden realization dawning on him.

So that's it!

He had always wondered how White Ivy, merely Lord-Level, could claim to only trade in Divine-Grade Fruits, yet conduct such a booming business.

And always wondered where White Ivy got so many unheard-of Divine-Grades.

Turns out they were from the Southern Hemisphere.

In that instant, all questions were answered.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader: "White Ivy Spider King, the trouble you speak of is... the passage disappearing and connection cut off?"

White Ivy: "If that happened, it wouldn't just be a massive problem—it would be a fatal crisis."

White Ivy: "The trouble is in Wanglan Continent. Over there, in the southwestern sea, adjacent to the distant sea bordering the Divine Force Barrier, is a Great Island about 250,000 square kilometers in size..."

White Ivy methodically recounted the history of Blue Island, the Ocean God's Scepter, Stone Hunt Blue Ant, Wave Tree Bay Kingdom Alliance, as well as the situation on Wanglan Continent, and informed him of the current sudden crisis.

Wanglan Continent has fallen into an unprecedented crisis of collapse; an Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King, unmatched on the continent, is leading elite troops on a killing spree, and the Shanglu Ancestral Land, fearing exposure, has sealed the Starship Passage between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

The current situation is: Divine-Grade Fruits produced in the Southern Hemisphere can no longer get through.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader now understood the causes and effects, fell silent in thought for a long while, and asked: "White Ivy Spider King, you said earlier, you need my help? As far as I know, the Starship Passage connecting Wan Country Continent and Cloud Trace Continent only has a very narrow rift on the Cloud Trace Continent side. Insect Kings skilled in Metal System Ability have tried many times but can't break through. We at Red Crow Mountain are willing to help, but we simply can't pass through, can we?"

White Ivy: "Dogtooth Violet Great Leader has misunderstood, I'm not asking for help in fighting..."

White Ivy gathered her words, then continued: "I have a second secret, regarding the Cloud Trace Continent. Today, the Cloud Trace Continent is in an Origin Force Silent Period, yet there exist some small Lands of Origin Force, about twenty or thirty square kilometers in area..."

White Ivy roughly, told about the existence of Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, only saying they were favored by the Natural True God, gained the Dominating Throne, as well as many Blessed Seeds and Divine God-Given Seeds through which she quickly rose by trading with them.

Yet another unheard-of tale~ Dogtooth Violet Great Leader's eyes flickered uncertainly.

Dogtooth Violet Great Leader asked: "So, Dragon Cypress Ant King and Ink Orchid Mantis both have awakened Nine Systems Talents?"

White Ivy: "That's right! Moreover, the Water System Blue Soldiers cultivated through Dragon Cypress Ant King's Dominating Throne are also adept at naval warfare, and their individual strength even surpasses that of Stone Hunt Blue Ant."

By now, Dogtooth Violet Great Leader already understood White Ivy's intention, and asked: "White Ivy Spider King, when you say you need my help... you mean, you want a batch of Ghost King Sophora Seeds for the Ant King's use? To further enhance his Soldier Ants' combat power."
