...
By the 15th and 16th days, Divine-Given Seeds including Azure, Thunder Oak, Red Cypress, and Round Leaf Keg Vine had all easily advanced.
Other God-Given Life Seeds continued to evolve successfully...
...
In Dragon Cypress's slumbering King Nest, an eruption that violently absorbed Origin Force would occur every four or five days, lasting for about half a day before subsiding.
For an Insect Clan Warrior to break through to King-Level, it had to undergo six to nine such eruptions.
As winter gave way to spring, the Cypress Blossoms blood.
The Cypress Blossoms wilted.
Then, as Peach Blossoms burst into full bloom in the vibrant spring, on the 30th day of his evolutionary sleep, an unprecedentedly strong Origin Force fluctuation erupted from the depths of the Main Nest. It lasted only a short while before calming down.
About half a day later, in the mid-afternoon, through the Soul Bond, Azure was the first to sense it and vibrated its spiritual power to announce, "Dragon Cypress has awakened!"
...
Awakening from his slumber.
In a daze, a ssage entered his soul consciousness: "Summoned by the Natural True God. Leave the Origin Force Star Realm. Embark on an expedition to the Dark Universe. Preparation ti: 24 years."
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress shed his old carapace, and the new one quickly solidified.
First Age Period Insect King.
Inspecting himself, Dragon Cypress first noticed that the number of blue rings on his abdon had increased from five to six.
Focusing his mind, he smoothly comprehended Refinent, the sixth ability of the Creator Civilization.
An expected change.
Moreover, this should be the ultimate ability of the Creator Civilization.
Dragon Cypress focused his mind, continuing to inspect himself and noting significant changes to his body shape.
The Divine-Given Silver Cypress Seed he had consud during his ninth Age Period Lord stage proved effective. His body had elongated to around 3.8 ters. Simultaneously, he had shed significant weight; his once-bloated abdon was now the lean, agile form he had long desired.
His mbranous wings had also improved. They now matched his abdon in length and, when spread, were even longer and slightly narrower.
The Ant Clan and Bee Clan are close relatives.
Dragon Cypress observed that such mbranous wing structures, akin to those of the Bee Clan, were most suitable for the Ant Clan.
His flying ability was significantly enhanced!
He personally found the optimization effect of the Divine-Given Silver Cypress Seed to be excellent.
It must be Tie Bush who was too inferior; that's why its use led to unsatisfactory results.
Excellent!
But surely, the 'Adaptive Evolution' conferred by the Wangbai Seed would also achieve this kind of morphological optimization, and likely even better.
For , the optimization from the Divine-Given Silver Cypress Seed seems redundant.
Still, it probably isn't a waste. The Divine-Given Silver Cypress Seed and the Zhibai Seed can most likely enhance the 'Adaptive Evolution' ability.
Dragon Cypress swiftly composed his emotions, continuing to test the various changes after breaking through to Insect King.
When he fully extended his spiritual power, he imdiately felt pressure from all directions. Restrained by the Natural Law, his maximum spiritual detection range was only 1,200 ters.
Likewise, his soul strength was also suppressed to the level of a ninth Age Period Insect King, and the sensing range of his Soul-Setting Ability had barely increased.
Dragon Cypress turned his mind inward, inspecting his insides.
His Life Pouch had undergone a significant change. Divine Power had created a space within it—an oval-shaped pouch over a ter in length, with its widest part asuring about fifty to sixty centiters in diater.
The space wasn't large and had limited potential for growth, just enough to house all the Tree Hearts and seeds derived from his Life Seeds.
This was an escape ability bestowed by the Natural True God upon Insect Clan Warriors. When their territory faced a crisis they couldn't handle, they could gather their Life Seeds and flee...
With a thought from Dragon Cypress, the tal Can stored in the corner of the cave floated over. The lid unscrewed itself, and he lowered his head to eat and replenish his Physical Strength.
At the sa ti, his ntal focus shifted to communicate with the Dominating Throne.

He had successfully awakened the Life System Talent. Moreover, the Dominating Throne could now cultivate ants that inherited Life System abilities.
Dragon Cypress pondered slightly before naming them.
[Guardian of Life]
[Producer of Flourish]
The Dominating Throne could cultivate ants of the Nine Systems, differentiated by the roles of Soldier Ants and Worker Ants. These were further categorized by specialization into large, dium, small, and tiny body types. In total, Dragon Cypress could cultivate up to 90 different types of ants.
Each possessed different abilities and could be competent in various jobs.
Of course, many of them might not be used, or used infrequently.
For example, the Thunder System and Fire System Talents.
What could Thunder System and Fire System Worker Ants do in production?
Are there any production-oriented or auxiliary Thunder System or Fire System abilities?
Fire System Worker Ants using Fire Control to cook delicious food? It seems feasible, but not very aningful, he thought.
As for Thunder System Worker Ants, I can't even imagine what use they might have.
Dragon Cypress continued to check the changes in the Dominating Throne.
[Please choose the number of ssengers]
[Number 1]
[Number 2]
[Number 3]
...
[Number 16]
The pattern remained unchanged: the Dominating Throne's output of Ant Eggs per batch had increased to a maximum of 16, still a pitifully small number.
Dragon Cypress pondered, Now, let's see if the production cycle of Ant Eggs changes after I've awakened the Life Talent.
Dragon Cypress pondered this, then withdrew his spiritual power and ntal focus, his gaze shifting toward the entrance of the King Nest.
CRASH!
The soil and rocks blocking the entrance collapsed.
"Congratulations, Great King!" Ink Orchid peeked in, then her figure flashed as she darted inside.
"Dragon Cypress! Congratulations!" Mountain Persimmon followed closely behind.
Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, Giant Cypress, Silver Cypress, and Cypress scrambled to enter the cave.
"Congratulations, Great King!"
"All hail the Great King!"
"Great King, you awakened successfully after sleeping for only 30 days!"
"This is a record-breaking speed for an evolutionary breakthrough!"
"The Great King is so formidable!"
"Great King, how many abilities did you comprehend?"
...
"Silence!"
Dragon Cypress quickly finished a can of Ant Honey, then looked up and raised a claw to signal for quiet. "Through Soul Bond perception, I sense there's still a small problem over in the Areca Rainforest..."
The enthusiastic ants were startled by this news.
Ink Orchid and Mountain Persimmon were so shocked they jumped.
Ink Orchid asked anxiously, "Is it King Cypress?"
Dragon Cypress replied, "It doesn't seem to be King Cypress..."
Dragon Cypress continued, "According to the Soul Bond's perception, there's still one God-Given Life Seed that hasn't completed its evolution. It's hard to determine which one specifically. I guess it's the Island Banyan. I need to go and check."
Ink Orchid exclaid, "I'll go with you!"
Dragon Cypress said, "Ink Orchid, no need to panic. Since I can sense it through the Soul Bond, the problem isn't too serious."
Dragon Cypress continued, "The spring trade is about to start, isn't it? Ink Orchid, you stay here. Go guard the Shanxi Reservoir and see if the Snow Velvet Spider King cos this year. If he does, attend to him first and wait for my return. The matter concerning the Ghost King Sophora Seeds still requires further discussion."
Dragon Cypress then said to the others, "Round Cypress, Fragrant Cypress, hurry and organize the preparations for the spring trade."
