As the Mountain Lords of Eight Ridges successively completed their registration, one Lord-class Flame Spider after another entered the passage. After the last Lord-class Flame Spider entered, the Mountain Lord of Eight Ridges directly closed the passage.
Lord Ginkgo and Lord Green Maple were waiting for them in the abyss, as they still had various matters to discuss.
After the discussions were completed, they would directly emerge from the top of the mountain.
Many Lord-class Flame Spiders followed the passage into the interior of the mountain. This entire mountain in the abyss was several thousand meters high. The top was open to the sky, while the middle was completely hollowed out and solidified by the Earth-type Spider King. The bottom was extremely deep; even light shining down from above couldn't reach it. It would take a long time to hear a response after throwing a stone down.
They were currently in the middle of the mountain belly, descending along a winding path on the mountain wall.
In the depths of the abyss, a ray of light flashed by.
A Lord behind urged, "Let's go, Ginkgo and Green Maple are already waiting for us below."
The group of Lord-class Flame Spiders slowly descended the mountain path, finally arriving at the bottom of the abyss after a long time.
The bottom of the abyss was very dark, but fortunately, the Flame Spiders had excellent eyesight. Even with only the faint light from the mountaintop above, it didn't affect their normal vision.
At the bottom of the abyss, pieces of raw stone were piled up to form a flat, regular ground, covering the entire abyss. After many spiders came down, they directly untied the silk pouches on their backs and took out the raw stones inside to pave the ground.
However, although the Lords had brought back more than a hundred cubic meters of raw stones, it only raised the ground by a small layer.
After placing the raw stones, Lord Plantain of the Watase Flame Spider tribe sighed, "The abyss is truly too vast!
So many raw stones only cover a single layer. I wonder if the kingdom will be able to fill the entire abyss during this late stage of the primal energy cycle?"
Lord Ginkgo said in a low voice, "In countless primal energy cycles, there have been very few periods where the abyss could be filled with raw stones. We can only do our best."
Lord Green Maple didn't want to talk about these things, and asked, "How is the situation on the continent now?"
"Not good," a Lord-class Flame Spider released a mental message, "The conflicts between the Beastmen and the Insectoids are becoming more and more serious. I'm afraid they will erupt soon."
Lord Green Maple's mental energy became heavy, "Has it already reached this point?"
Another Lord-class Flame Spider spoke, "It's not just the Beastmen and the Insectoids. The contradictions between Insectoids are also growing. Many Insectoids have begun to fight each other."
"This is even more troublesome!"
As primal energy revived, various insects and animals successively evolved into primal energy warriors. The Beastmen wanted to compete for resources to evolve, and as the Insectoid population increased, they needed to expand their territory, so conflicts would naturally increase.
The Insectoids relied on primal energy food produced by consuming their own life essence to grow. If the Insectoids suffered large-scale deaths or injuries, then the Flame Spiders, as merchants, would also suffer immeasurable losses.
More importantly, deep in the Flame Spiders' inherited memories was the task of maintaining the prosperity of all races.
In every primal energy cycle, the Flame Spiders had a top Spider King sitting in the kingdom, never ceasing, in order to ensure that large-scale wars did not occur in the Natural Starfield.
The Flame Spiders believed that they were watching over the primal energy Starfield on behalf of the Natural Gods, maintaining peace between the races. Otherwise, according to the laws of nature, various Insectoids would have long since been fighting each other to the death.
And in the new primal energy cycle, this task should naturally continue.
In the darkness, a spider said, "I have already stopped two fights between Insectoids during my travels as a merchant. Fortunately, the highest level between the two races was only Mountain Lord-class. It would have been uncertain if I could have suppressed them if they were Lord-class."
Lord Ginkgo said in a deep voice, "We must suppress them even if we can't! Don't forget, this is the mission of our Flame Spider race!"
The spiders fell silent.
After a long time, Lord Plantain said, "Ginkgo, how long do you think you need to advance to Spider King?"
Lord Ginkgo sighed, "Spider King is too difficult. I'm not confident that I can advance."
Not getting the desired answer from Lord Ginkgo, Lord Plantain looked at another Lord-class Iridescent Flame Spider, "Windwhisper, how confident are you?"
Lord Windwhisper didn't answer directly, but asked, "What about you?"
Lord Plantain: "I feel like I'm nowhere near Spider King!"
Lord Windwhisper: "We're about the same!"
There were a total of eleven Lord-class Flame Spiders present. Among them, the original Flame Spiders were Lord Ginkgo and Lord Green Maple.
There were two Watase Flame Spiders: Lord Plantain and Lord Rockwind.
There were two Round-Purple Flame Spiders: Lord Job's Tears and Lord Arrowhead.
There was one Purple-Colored Flame Spider and one White-Legged Flame Spider, namely Lord Sedum and Lord Raspberry.
The Iridescent Flame Spiders had the most Lords, a full three: Lord Windwhisper, Lord Wild Chrysanthemum, and Lord FlyingLian.
Among the many Lord-class Flame Spiders, the highest in cultivation and the most hopeful to break through to Spider King was Lord Ginkgo, followed by Lord Plantain and Lord Windwhisper. The remaining Lords were all hovering in the early stages of the Lord-class, with even less hope.
Lord Green Maple: "Has anyone found the Starcraft connecting to the continent next door?"
During each primal energy revival period, an extraterrestrial Starship would fall into the Primal Energy Starfield, often connecting to the continent next door.
"No, either it's very hidden, or it hasn't fallen yet." The Flame Spiders responded one after another. It would be great if they could connect to the continent next door, as they would have many more customers to trade with.
Lord Windwhisper: "The resources generated from trading with the Insectoids in the Myriad Races Continent are still enough for everyone to evolve. The matter of connecting to the continent next door is not urgent."
"What's more troublesome is that many Insectoids and Beastmen don't take us seriously now. I heard that some tribes have started competing with us for the merchant business again."
Lord Plantain: "A Spider King must be born within a hundred years, so that we can intimidate the Myriad Races and prevent them from making any rash moves."
"A hundred years?" All the spiders looked at Lord Ginkgo: "Ginkgo, are you confident?"
Lord Ginkgo hesitated. This was a matter of the rise and fall of the entire kingdom, and it didn't dare to speak rashly.
Lord Windwhisper: "If it really doesn't work, when you reach the ninth cycle, activate the kingdom's reserve plan to increase your chances of advancing to Spider King."
Lord Ginkgo refused directly without thinking, "That's too wasteful. Let's give this opportunity to a more promising spider!
Judging from the current situation, there's no problem for our kingdom to support itself for another two or three hundred years. I believe that more promising spiders than me will appear in the future."
Lord Ginkgo also wanted to advance to Spider King and obtain a longer lifespan, but it couldn't bring itself to consume the kingdom's foundation to improve itself. It wasn't that selfish; it had to consider the future generations.
At this time, Lord Green Maple released a mental message, "Everyone, I have a wonderful plan that can both increase the probability of a Spider King being born in the kingdom and not consume the kingdom's foundation."
"What?" The spiders released puzzled mental messages.
Lord Green Maple: "I will name this plan the King-Making Plan!"
