Standing guard together by the garden plot.
The gilded cauldron was brought down.
Everyone slept during the day, and at night they ate and chatted, occasionally glancing up at the night sky, always alert.
Suddenly, one day,
At noon,
Ink Orchid awoke from sleep on the Throne, and out of habit gathered her spirit to sense the Cypress Forest, then suddenly shivered in excitent, flapping her Pulse Wings hard and slapping Dragon Cypress beside her, shouting with joy:
"Dragon Cypress! Wake up!"
"Fragrant Cypress! Silver Cypress! Black Persimmon... Wake up!"
Ink Orchid sent out a wave of spiritual power, yelling: "Divine-Given Seed!"
"???"
Dragon Cypress rolled over and climbed up.
The ants clustered around the tal cauldron—Spiked Cypress, Silver Cypress, Fragrant Cypress—all woke up in alarm.
—Divine-Given Seed?
—Where?
—Where is it?
—Didn't notice any Divine-Given?
"Over there! My perception can't be wrong! Go check it out!"
Ink Orchid leapt to the ground and flashed into the Cypress Forest.
Dragon Cypress and the others quickly followed.
It really is!
On the cypress with the best growth in the forest, over five ters high, there was an inconspicuous, almost blooming little flower, giving off a faint Origin Force Fluctuation.
—Nothing happened last night, right?
—Nothing!
—At such close distance, if there were a Divine-Given, we'd definitely feel the pressure of Divine Power!
—A Divine-Given Seed born from probability?
—Born from probability!
—Aren't we just incredibly lucky?
—Second King is amazing!
The ants were all talking.
Ink Orchid suddenly spread her wings and flapped them vigorously, cheering: "Senior Orchid Mantis and Junior Orchid! Two more Divine-Given Seeds! Senior Orchid Mantis is Divine Grade!"
—Right!
—Since a Divine-Given Seed can erge by probability, that ans this newly hybrid cypress breed ets the conditions to trigger a Natural Godsend.
—Then it could trigger Divine-Given again, giving birth to another seed.
—That ans two seeds!
—Is there a Divine Grade?
The ants were ecstatic.
"Wah~oh~"
Tie Bush crawled over, raised his pincer limbs and cheered, "Aweso!"
"Quiet! Quiet!"
Spiked Cypress shook her tentacles forcefully, raising her front feet to signal for silence, then formally raised a question: "Great King, Second King, could there be another Divine God-Given Seed like Great King Molan?"
—Is there a chance?
—There is a chance!
—The chance isn't high, right?
—Do they have to be really close to each other?
—Last ti, those two Molan Grass were right next to each other.
—This ti, they're cypress trees, and the two are too far apart. The Divine-Given power has to fall on the sa tree, right?
—Try to make the Divine-Given power land near the flower with Origin Force Fluctuation?
—Then, how about we chop down the other cypress trees?
—Good idea!
—Chop them down!
After their discussion, all the ants looked toward Dragon Cypress: Great King, give the order!
Ink Orchid also looked at Dragon Cypress with hope, "Great King, what do you think?"
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress pondered a mont, then said: "Don't be so rough in doing things, use your brains more. Fragrant Cypress, Black Cory, Black Birch, Black Leaf, Black Persimmon, lead the small Worker Ants up the tree, be careful to remove every flower bud on the tree, do it thoroughly and attentively."
"Understood! Great King!"
The ants responded.
Sensing the commotion here, Azure, Southern Gorgon, and Black Yellow's spiritual power all gathered over.
Black Yellow: "Dragon Cypress, did we succeed?"
Dragon Cypress was in a great mood and explained patiently: "All of a sudden, our luck exploded, and at an extrely low probability, a cypress flower about to nurture a Divine-Given Seed was born naturally."
Black Yellow: "???"
Southern Gorgon: "!!!"
Azure: "So that ans, there's a chance to trigger Natural Godsend again and get another Divine-Given Seed?"
Dragon Cypress: "Everyone thinks so!"
Black Yellow interjected quickly: "So Fragrant Cypress and the others are… I get it! Ants, it's a similar situation to last ti with the Molan Grass, we might get a Divine Grade Divine-Given Seed?"
Azure ca to the realization as well, saying: "Remove all the flowers from the other cypresses in the grove to guide the Divine-Given power to that specific cypress. Use Divine Power to trigger a mutation in the flower that's already confird to nurture the Divine-Given Seed."
Dragon Cypress chuckled and said: "That's exactly our plan."
...
Fragrant Cypress led a large group of small Worker Ants over, and everyone got to work.
Dragon Cypress personally led a team, climbing the cypress with the Origin Force Bud and cutting off all the other irrelevant common flower branches.
Only one flower branch remained on the tree, hanging with a string of twelve flower buds.
Ink Orchid, who was by the side, hesitantly suggested: "Dragon Cypress, how about we get even bolder? Only keep two flowers?"
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress shook his tentacles and said: "That's a aningless move."
Dragon Cypress considered it and hesitantly asked: "Ink Orchid, do you think we will definitely get a Divine Grade?"
Ink Orchid: "Definitely!"
Spiked Cypress: "Second King is mighty!"
Silver Cypress: "If Second King says so, it must be true. Second King has never made a mistake."
Always a step behind in reaction, Tie Bush raised his pincer limbs and shouted: "Second King is wise and mighty!"
Giant Cypress couldn't listen anymore and analyzed seriously: "Great King, Second King, I think there's a matter of probability with such things, and the chances of success are extrely slim. Great King Molan's Divine-Given Seed ca about by a minuscule probability, it was just pure luck for us."
Black Peach, who couldn't see and can't do fine work, clung close to Dragon Cypress, raising his claws in agreent: "Giant Cypress is right! Mutation is uncontrollable. If it could be controlled, it wouldn't be called a mutation, it would be called breeding. Can a Divine Grade be bred? Clearly not! Although this situation recreates what happened with Senior Orchid Mantis and Junior Orchid, if we think rationally, trying to repeat that and get another Divine Grade is a next-to-impossible chance."
Dragon Cypress praised: "Black Peach is right, we can't be blindly confident."
Black Peach: "..."
Dragon Cypress focused, separately directing a small Worker Ant to carefully climb up the flower branch and cut off ten flower buds, leaving only two...
One was the Origin Force Bud,
