Chapter 1032: Chapter 697_3
"Do you want to rebel? Dare to be on par with Second King?"
Ink Orchid didn’t agree right away, waving its tentacles and tapping at Spiked Cypress.
Black Peach stayed away from Second King and suggested, "Great King, you can set up more leader positions, let everyone enjoy themselves."
"You want to be a leader too?"
Silver Cypress jumped up.
The scene instantly became noisy and chaotic.
Dragon Cypress sternly reprimanded, be quiet.
Red Peach looked on, utterly speechless.
White Ivy took over the topic, continuing to explain, "The chamber of commerce established by numerous Insect Clan Warriors, though named a chamber of commerce, is essentially a power faction, similar to Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom."
"The Great Leader oversees all affairs; different leaders and deputy leaders manage various types of affairs. Below them, some insects are responsible for external exchanges, some for external warfare, some for operations, some for trading, some for logistics and transportation, and so on."
— Understood!
Ink Orchid: "I manage warfare?"
Spiked Cypress: "Then what do I manage?"
Ink Orchid: "You manage combat."
Spiked Cypress: "Second King’s combat power is strong, Second King is more suited for combat."
Silver Cypress echoed, "Second King’s strength is the greatest, it’s only right for Second King to fight, we little ants can handle some command and management work..."
"You two are asking for a fight!"
Second King was furious.
Bickering all the way.
In the middle of the night,
A group of insects ascended the hundred-meter-wide main road.
"This pace is too slow,"
Dragon Cypress spoke, body flickering, arriving at an open space, the Zhen Beast Divine Pattern on its forehead shining, a point of azure water drop floated out, rapidly enlarged while changing shape, in an instant, turning into a hundred-meter-long, flat-backed Ice Centipede.
Six hundred years of painstaking practice, Dragon Cypress has already grasped the essence of biomimicry abilities.
It seemed like a living thing.
A body formed of ice frost, yet not a hint of cold air escaping.
"!!!"
White Ivy, Red Peach, several insects who hadn’t witnessed the Zhen Beast ability were rendered speechless and stunned.
"White Ivy, Red Peach, Fish Vine, you come forward."
"Spiked Cypress, Black Peach, Silver Cypress, Rainbow Parasol Tree, Rainbow Tea, you guys fight again! Go to the back!"
"Let’s go! Let’s speed up!"
Dragon Cypress beckoned.
The Frost Giant Centipede crawled forward.
Silvergrass and Poison Bean saw the situation and dashed forward, driving two Star Spiders at high speed.
...
The wide, straight public road divided the planet’s land into regular hexagons; traveling could only be done along the roads, thus, not moving in a straight line but a zigzag.
The journey was greatly extended.
Running for two days and nights...
Finally,
The leading Star Spider turned at a fork in the road, entering a straight branch road.
After another forty to fifty kilometers, they stopped in front of a boundless lake.
"We’ve arrived!"
"Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, look here, isn’t the environment quite nice? Azure, Sea Blue, Southern Gorgon, Northern Gorgon, and Black Lotus all grow in water? The waterways here are vast enough!"
"Every district has a grand lake about 3000 square kilometers in the central location."
White Ivy raised a claw, pointing to the distant lakeside hills, saying, "Yellow Peach, Red Peach, Green Peach, their Life Seeds are rooted over there! Easy to recognize, they’re all peach trees!"
A wave of Soul-Setting Ability swept over.
In a moment,
On the distant hill road, two Metal Mantises rushed over towards them.
Yellow Peach and Green Peach.
Meeting them,
They greeted warmly, introducing and getting to know each other.
White Ivy said, "Yellow Peach stays in the territory, taking care of the Life Seed. Red Peach and Green Peach follow along as Roving Merchants. Yellow Peach tends to be bored and planted some peach trees to play, covering an area of no more than 100 square kilometers, digging trenches, enclosing and marking it out."
"Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, North 2528 District, all other places are your territories. Conduct your own survey of the terrain and find a suitable place to settle."
"Alright!"
"Thank you, Chairman White Ivy!"
"Chairman White Ivy, your thoughtfulness is appreciated!"
A vast expanse of 26,000 square kilometers of land seamlessly connected!
An unobstructed, open star system!
The crowd of insects expressed their gratitude with cheers.
Ink Orchid suddenly remembered the matter of the chamber of commerce and asked:
"Chairman White Ivy, how do we specifically register to establish a chamber of commerce? What would be a good name? Ink Orchid Chamber of Commerce? Xianglan Chamber of Commerce?"
"Well, the name, you can discuss it among yourselves?"
White Ivy was momentarily stunned and explained, "First, you should discuss the structure of the chamber of commerce, the naming of positions, and allocation. Then go to Flying Wing Star, to District 1001’s Melde Chamber of Commerce to find either Chairman Giant Taro or Chairman Kansui, either of them can help with the registration process."
"To register a Wild God-Given Seed, just pluck a leaf and send it over."
"Make sure to bring those crabs and birds into the chamber of commerce. Take them over and purchase two ’Star Network Fruits’, 10,000 Primordial Crystals each. After eating, they too can gain the ’Star Network Account’ ability."
"Alien Origin Force Life isn’t protected by the Star Network, but if they join a chamber of commerce established by the Insect Clan, then they’re officially part of the Insect Clan Civilization and will be protected."
"This is important! Many Insect Clan warriors are hostile towards alien clans and might harm them. But if there’s a chamber of commerce, with Star Network protection, those extreme Insect Clan warriors won’t dare to act rashly."
White Ivy concluded and with a flash of the Shanglu Divine Pattern on her forehead, three large Spider Silk Bags floated in front of Dragon Cypress, and she grandly said:
"3,000 Primordial Crystals, loan them to you for now."
"Alright—"
Dragon Cypress opened it for examination.
The crystals were like ice, semi-transparent.
The shape and size were exactly like Source Stones.
Even more crystal clear.
And harder.
Other than that, no apparent differences.
With spiritual power perception, the pure Origin Force was condensed into matter, and a small piece indeed contained the equivalent Origin Force Energy of 10,000 Source Stones.
Just this small bag, equivalently equaled 10,000,000 Source Stones from the home planet!
"Good stuff!"
"Unbelievable."
Dragon Cypress marveled, conveying it to the Second King and the insects below for examination.
White Ivy continued, "Yellow Peach, Red Peach, Green Peach, Fish Vine remain to help Dragon Cypress Ant King. Silvergrass and Poison Bean, come with me to escort Shield Grasshopper Tribe Warriors to North 4450 District to find their Mountain Maple Ancestor."
Dragon Cypress asked, "Wuye, Pueraria, Cornel, Beach Wheat, White-Hill Azalea, Simss Azalea, why don’t you six stay here first? Boss Yellow will go ahead to scout, understand the situation, and then you can make a decision?"
Dragon Cypress candidly said to Boss Yellow, "Wuye, Pueraria, my suggestion is that if the Shield Grasshopper Tribe allows you to join their tribal chamber of commerce and distributes significant Primordial Crystals annually, then you may go along with the Shield Grasshopper Tribe. On the contrary, if there is no Primordial Crystal compensation, you’d be better off coming along with me and Ink Orchid."
"Alright—"
"Understood."
"Dragon Cypress Ant King makes sense."
"Boss Yellow, we await your news."
The six insects Wuye, Pueraria, Cornel, Beach Wheat, White-Hill Azalea, and Simss Azalea agreed.
White Ivy said: "According to Mountain Maple, Huagi Mountain originally had Long Shield Grasshopper Warriors, and the Huagi Chamber of Commerce also has ancestors of Long Shield Grasshopper Warriors. There are none of the Barley Bug here."
Do I have ancestors too? Hearing this, Spruce’s eyes shone and he swiftly moved to stand next to Boss Yellow.
Dragon Cypress: "Then Spruce, go and examine the situation. If the benefits are high, stay with the Shield Grasshopper warriors; if not, return. The Barley Bug Warriors will stay. Whether to stay or go, I won’t say much more. Consider it for yourselves."
With a simple arrangement concluded,
The group of insects appeared a bit eager.
The Ice Centipede transformed into eight wings, carrying everyone as it ascended into the sky, looking over the terrain with the Scorching Ability.
They soon selected a large mountain near a lake four to five kilometers away.
Named Xianglan Mountain, it was designated the main nest of power.
Everyone gathered around Xianglan Mountain, digging nests and moving in.
Clearing the land.
Utilizing Earth System Abilities to plow the soil.
Planting Life Seeds.
Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, and White Willow came to the lakeside together.
After selecting the location, with some simple preparations,
Azure, Sea Blue, Southern Gorgon, Northern Gorgon, and Black Lotus, five Divine-Given Seeds, successively entered the water for rebirth.
