Astral Cockroach

“You are still too weak. Your space grows slowly and its stability is very poor. Things will improve when you advance to the Planetary level.”

Dulong sighed again, “The wormhole traversal and life-pouch space mastered by the Protoss are both spatial technologies that humans have a chance to analyze and learn through technological means. The life-pouch space of an eighth-level demigod generally exceeds 10 cubic kilometers. The life-pouch space of a ninth-level god is even stronger, reaching 100 cubic kilometers.”

“Furthermore, the weapons nurtured within the life-pouch space are infinitely variable in form, and their materials improve as strength grows. Human technology currently has no hope of analyzing them.”

Dulong lamented, “The information capacity, reasoning ability, and lifespan of human scientists all restrict the progress of technological civilization. If human technology wants to reach level eight, there must be a qualitative improvement in the racial genetic code.”

“Senior Dulong, you misunderstand me.” Banbu said somewhat shyly, “The growth of the life-pouch space requires a large amount of Origin Power. As far as I know, the Dojo has a dedicated Origin Power supply system…”

Dulong understood Banbu's meaning and said, “The Dojo's Origin Power supply system does indeed have a lot of surplus, but the Dojo is an independent system and is not under my control.”

As expected!

Banbu asked, “Roughly how much is left? Do you remember?”

Dulong said, “Fortunately, I have the relevant memory preserved. There is about 30 trillion left.”

“I understand.” Banbu smiled and asked, “The energy chamber of the Dojo is out of fuel? I can appropriately damage the Origin Power chamber without causing any major problems, right?”

Dulong said, “No.”

“Understood.” Banbu said, “I need to rest for a while.”

One month later.

Banbu's natal weapon reached a diameter of about 2.7 centimeters, and the long diameter of his life-pouch space reached 0.8 meters. Both reached the limit for a corresponding L2 Roach King.

At this time, the "O"-shaped Origin Power pattern in the life-pouch space increased to a size of two rings, and the rate of condensing Origin Power beads nearly doubled, requiring only about 3 hours to condense one.

He needed to rest in between, and could harvest 5 beads a day. After eating and drinking his fill, he could work continuously for 10 days at a time.

Banbu gave up after working for half a month. One month, at most, he could harvest 140 Origin Power beads, which was only equivalent to 1.4 million Origin Stones. The rate was still too slow.

Baba had already gone out and begun teaching Rat King and White Bamboo the 《Star Piercing Sword Technique》.

Dulong remained suspended in the air, staying not far from Banbu.

Banbu asked, “What about the Origin Power food stored on the spaceship? Can I get some out? I need to grow.”

Dulong said, “That requires the authority of a human warrior. Moreover, the command module is now detached from the main body of the spaceship, and the Origin Power food is stored in a dedicated cabin on the spaceship. Only by completing the docking of the cabin can it be retrieved.”

Banbu asked, “Can't it be taken out?”

“It can't be taken out. The spaceship components are manufactured separately in different factories, stored in different places, and only assembled at the very end before departure.”

Dulong said, “The Origin Power food produced by the Protoss is rich in variety and of good quality. Just make do with it for now.”

Banbu said, “But that all costs Origin Stones to buy! I belong to a poor, nearly extinct small tribe within the Protoss.”

Dulong thought for a while and said, “I can't think of any way to help you. Isn't it still early for the Starry Sky Annihilation? You don't need to be anxious about growing.”

“Yes. It's okay. Forget it then, I'll find a way to solve it myself.” Banbu shook his antennae and said, “I'll do a test first. It's okay if I slightly damage your inherited Dojo, right?”

Dulong said, “One day, everything on Earth will be rebuilt. Take whatever is left that can be used. There's no need to ask so specifically.”

…

In the central area of the Dojo, there were originally specialized instruments to replenish Origin Power, but they were all dismantled when the inherited forbidden area was built.

If Banbu wanted to utilize the Origin Power left in the Dojo's supply system, he could only guide it from the middle-level residential area.

He mined Origin Stones from the remnant Origin Stone vein in the Red Flower County of the original Black Roach tribe in the central region of the continent and transported them to the canyon.

Rat King and White Bamboo used their earth and stone abilities to reshape, compress, and strengthen these Origin Stones, forming an Origin Power transmission pipeline.

Banbu then used his metal ability to wrap a layer around the outside of the pipeline to strengthen and reinforce it.

After half a year of busy work, they finally completed it.

The pipeline connected to a private Origin Power chamber in a residential building in the middle-level area, extending all the way through the excavated passage to the entrance of the inherited forbidden area in the center.

Baba activated the supply system of the Origin Power chamber with her authority, setting the rate to a constant release equivalent to 60 Origin Crystal Stones per day.

The roughly made Origin Power transmission pipeline leaked continuously along the way, and less than 10% of the Origin Power was finally delivered to the front of the inherited forbidden area. If it was sent to the inherited main hall, the door could not be closed, and some would leak out. Roughly estimated, less than 5% could ultimately be utilized.

Banbu carefully considered the current situation. Using his life-pouch space's ability to condense Origin Power beads to make a fortune was not feasible.

The rate at which the Origin Power pattern in the life-pouch absorbed Origin Power was affected by the external Origin Power concentration, which in turn affected the rate of condensing Origin Power beads. The biggest problem was that if the door was left ajar, it would be difficult to increase the Origin Power concentration in the inherited main hall.

Perhaps things would improve if his strength continued to increase.

He continued to stay in the inherited Dojo for two years.

After finishing the Origin Power food he brought, he returned to Li Bamboo Peak according to plan.

…

After Banbu advanced to L2 Roach King, the supernatural power patterns activated by the third heart continued to release Origin Power and modify his genes. After three and a half years, it was nearing completion.

At the location of the second heart, he could continue to activate the third and fourth small supernatural powers corresponding to the second supernatural power tree. In total, there were 300 supernatural power patterns, consuming less than 50 million Origin Stones, respectively absorbing muons and muon neutrinos, converting them into Origin Power.

After one genetic evolution, the ability of the second heart to absorb electrons and electron neutrinos and convert them into Origin Power was initially activated, but the efficiency was not ideal, producing only the equivalent of 200 Origin Stones of Origin Power per day.

It could be predicted that when the second supernatural power tree of the second heart was fully activated, the Origin Power produced per day would be approximately equivalent to 2,000 Origin Stones.

Adding the 1,000 produced by the first supernatural power tree each day, the total would be 3,000. In an environment without Origin Power, this was more than enough for the daily survival of a Roach King.

In an Origin Power environment, the produced Origin Power could be regulated by willpower, either injected into the heart to activate other supernatural power patterns, or injected into the life-pouch. In the future, when entering the starry sky, Origin Power beads could be produced continuously.

…

Banbu, year 169.

Metal materials were refined and manufactured in Chiwu Mountain, transported tens of thousands of miles by train across the Dragon Bamboo Continent, then shipped across the ocean to the Red Rock Continent, and finally unloaded on the coast near the western end of the continent.

Banbu took Rat King and set off to build a trestle connecting the Red Rock Continent to the continent opposite.

Continuing to explore westward, as expected, the other continent was similar to the Myriad Races Continent, rich in Origin Power and inhabited by a large number of insect warriors.

At this point, it was 100% confirmed that the surface of Earth was divided into 8 continents by the Illusionary Colorful Barrier, of which 4 were depleted of Origin Power and 4 were rich in Origin Power with warriors living there.

The exploration of the last continent led to the Black and White Flower Roach tribe first discovering the top-level plant species "Dragon Juniper", which, as agreed, was named "Dragon Juniper Continent".

All four continents depleted of Origin Power were completely connected, and the total number of warriors participating in the treasure hunt exceeded 154, with harvests almost every year.

The warehouse in the southwest mountains of Li Bamboo Peak, used to store the remains of divine-grade and god-given species, was expanded year after year, from the initial 5 to gradually 30.

Currently, the Red Roach tribe had Banbu and Chijian, two Roach Kings, who took turns on a yearly basis, leading warriors to transport the remains back from Chiwu Mountain, trip after trip.

The development of Li Bamboo Peak entered a new peak period, changing with each passing day.

Many tree seas established on the basis of high-quality plants, after the number of clan warriors increased, rapidly expanded and began to produce similar benefits to the nine tree seas of Chiwu Mountain: almost every year, an indeterminate number of god-given species were born.

Most of these god-given species were nurtured into life seeds by the corresponding warriors, while particularly high-quality ones were also selected, sown on Li Bamboo Peak, and cultivated into wild god-given species, serving as the foundation for the tribe's continued development.
