Chapter 1013: Chapter 692: New Era of Civilization
"Hello Passenger, Melde Chamber of Commerce’s Perilla 0340 is providing this passenger service."
"Scan detection identifies you as Mantis Clan, Orchid Mantis, destination: Venus Star System, Twisted Blue Star."
...
"???"
"Illusion?"
Ink Orchid’s spiritual power swept over, discovering that the ’Little Spider’ seen by her visual ability in front wasn’t real, not physical.
The information directly acting upon the soul wasn’t coming from the phantom in front, but from above.
Ink Orchid slightly looked upwards.
The white hazy sky, at a height of a thousand meters, a barrier of a certain Primordial Energy blocked the detection of spiritual power.
The spiritual power expanded to scan the surroundings.
A neat, square space, a thousand meters in length, with no other creatures.
A space similar in height to Shanglu Space capable of accommodating living beings!
— The ability of the Flame Spider Roving Merchant?
Ink Orchid subconsciously activated Super Brain Ability to analyze, immediately discovering her own abilities were suppressed.
Ink Orchid was calm as her brain worked rapidly to think, roughly understanding the current situation.
Earlier, that metallic purple-gold spider was a civilizational artifact manufactured by the Flame Spider Roving Merchant, accompanied by a space akin to Shanglu Fruit.
The difference being that this space was more advanced, able to accommodate living beings.
At this moment, it was transporting her to ’Venus Star System’, ’Twisted Blue Star’.
’Twisted Blue Star’ should be a Life Planet akin to the Origin Force Star Realm.
’Star’ refers to the ’Sun’.
Dragon Cypress and Huagi Divine Tree had long speculated that many Life Planets orbit a stationary sun, thereby forming seasonal cycles and alternations of day and night.
Ink Orchid looked towards the illusion ahead, probing with questions: "Perilla 0340... number?"
Information direct to the soul came from above:
"Number Perilla 0340, you may call me Perilla."
"Are you transporting us to survive on Twisted Blue Star?"
"Yes."
"What kind of place is Twisted Blue Star, or rather Venus Star System? Is it safe?"
"Of course it’s safe. Thirty million years ago, two thousand light years from the Home Planet, a Zero Level Origin Point was born in a desolate Star Domain. Ancestor of Flame Spider, Time-Space Overlord summoned, organized fifty-five Overlord Realm Warriors to jointly relocate stars and establish a star system suitable for Insect Clan survival on the Origin Point, named as ’Venus’."
"???"
Ink Orchid listened, her mind full of questions, grasping the key points.
"Ancestor of Flame Spider? Time-Space Overlord?"
"The ancestor of Flame Spider Roving Merchant, the Overlord of Dawn Star System. It’s the first Insect Clan pioneer to successfully survive after leaving the Home Planet, founder of a new Era for Insect Clan Civilization, and designer and creator of Perilla. Time-Space Overlord is the greatest existence beneath the Natural True God, where the gaze rests, the stars shine, where footprints reach, the world prospers."
"???"
Boasting?
Ink Orchid, full of questions again, carefully considered, organized issues, raised one by one.
"Is Home Planet referring to the Origin Force Star Realm?"
"Home Planet is where you were born, also the origin planet of Insect Clan Civilization."
"What about Natural True God? Is there truly a supreme deity?"
"Of course."
"Residing on... the Sun of Home Planet?"
"My information repository lacks location information for Natural True God. I cannot answer your question."
Information repository?
Ink Orchid questioned in her heart for a moment, then skipped over and continued to ask:
"What’s the situation in the Outworld?"
"The Outworld you refer to should be the Main Universe. When you breakthrough to Third Trace Realm, you will awaken related inherited memory, then you won’t have so many questions."
"Oh—"
Ink Orchid’s mind circled around and asked: "Earlier, were we pulled to the Moon by spatial ability?"
Perilla: "Yes. Melde Chamber of Commerce has a Starport on the Moon."
Starport?
Ink Orchid focused on asking: "Melde Chamber of Commerce?"
Perilla: "A chamber of commerce is a commercial organization formed by many Flame Spider roving merchants and Insect Clan Warriors together. Ancestor of Flame Spider stipulated, chambers of commerce are divided into ten levels, the highest being Level 10, marked by the noblest purple-gold color."
"Currently, Insect Clan Civilization has only three Purple Gold trading companies, namely Dawn Chamber of Commerce under the name of Venus Star System, Time-Space Overlord; the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce under the name of Lizhu Star System, Dragon Bamboo Overlord; and the White Crystal Chamber of Commerce under the name of White Crystal Star System, Samsara Overlord."
"A Tenth-level chamber of commerce represents the wealth authority of a star system, not engaged in business activities, only responsible for currency issuance and trade settlement."
"One star system corresponds to one Tenth-level chamber of commerce. Currently, Insect Clan Civilization has only completed three star system developments, hence only three Tenth-level chambers of commerce."
"Under Level 10, a Level Nine chamber of commerce may use purple-red color markings, conditions are exceptionally stringent, specifics unknown."
"An Eighth-level chamber of commerce may use black markings, rigid conditions require ten Insect Clan Overlords, ten Third Level Origin Points, controlling trade routes of a million light years."
"A Seventh-level chamber of commerce uses gold markings..."
As Perilla spoke,
In the illusion of the purple-gold Little Flame Spider in front of Ink Orchid, a shining gold Luoli Grass marking lit up at its forehead.
Perilla: "Our Melde Chamber of Commerce is Seventh-level! Mastering wealth of trillions, one Third Level Origin Point, trade route of four hundred thousand light years, with the qualification to directly loan from White Crystal Chamber of Commerce."
Trillions of wealth?
Trade routes? Light years?
Ink Orchid roughly understood, her thoughts turned, and asked: "The one residing on the Moon is..."
Perilla: "Chairman Melde!"
Ink Orchid: "..."
Ink Orchid curiously asked: "Five hundred years ago, there was also a ’Spider King Melde’ from Ten-thousand Tribes Continent that left. Do you know it?"
Perilla: "Of course. It has already joined our Melde Chamber of Commerce."
Ink Orchid asked: "What about White Ivy Spider King?"
Perilla: "It declined the invitation."
