Natural God's Gift
#204 - Advanced Flame Spider
Four-Leaf deliberately reduced its intake of Origin Power foods to avoid evolving during the winter, preferring to wait for the spring. Generally, major realm evolutions are best undertaken in spring or summer.
During autumn and winter, both ordinary and God-given lifeforms enter a dormant period.
Evolving during these seasons would be akin to forcibly awakening them from this dormancy, compelling them to evolve in an unnatural state. This significantly lowers the probability of a successful evolution. No rational insect would do such a thing.
Only during the seasons of spring and summer, when all things flourish and plant life is at its peak, can the probability of evolution be greatly increased.
Sensing that the energy within its body was overflowing, Four-Leaf did not immediately return to its nest chamber in Twin Peaks to evolve. Instead, it first informed Angelica that it was about to evolve, and then rushed to the initial territory to notify the various God-given seeds to prepare for evolution.

Finally, it began its evolution directly within the nest chamber next to the Lucky Clover. It stuck a Spider Silk Flag, indicating it was in seclusion, at the entrance of the chamber. Even if Angelica was not around, other spiders would not disturb it upon seeing this flag.
Inside the nest chamber, Four-Leaf consumed all the God-given Sea Dates it had saved, then closed its eyes to gather its energy, awaiting slumber.
Insect warriors typically eat their fill before entering slumber, as the evolutionary stage is an extremely dangerous process. Firstly, evolution requires a massive amount of energy. Although the Origin Power foods consumed beforehand have stockpiled a large amount of energy, who would complain about having too much?
Secondly, no one knows how many days their evolution will take. Some insects can complete their evolution in three days, while others need to slumber for ten days or more.
In the evolutionary stage, which already requires a huge expenditure of energy, starving would inevitably lead to a significant energy deficit.
If one were to fail not because of the evolution itself, but because of starvation, it would be utterly laughable.
Just as Four-Leaf fell into slumber, Angelica guarded outside the nest chamber. Besides watching over Four-Leaf's evolution, it also had to inspect Four-Leaf's various lifeforms. If any of Four-Leaf's lifeforms lacked Origin Power during the evolution, it would promptly bring Origin Stones to replenish them.
Although Four-Leaf had buried enough Origin Stones beneath its lifeforms and was confident that no problems would arise,
it still wanted to be prepared for any eventuality.
The other lifeforms were fine, but Four-Leaf was most concerned about the Lucky Clover God-given Seed. The other God-given Seeds had precedents to follow, but even Ginkgo Lord and the others had never heard of a God-given Seed of Divine quality that would also gestate a Divine-quality fruit when advancing to a higher realm.
With the Life Godstone present, Four-Leaf was not afraid of other issues. After all, the Lucky Clover God-given Seed had successfully evolved while already gestating a Divine-quality fruit when it advanced from Elementary to Intermediate.
Its main concern was that the consumption of Origin Power would be very high when an Intermediate God-given Seed advanced to an Advanced God-given Seed.
Ginkgo Lord had placed ten thousand Origin Stones in Four-Leaf's nest chamber a few years ago, but they had been gradually used up. The year before last, Ginkgo Lord had buried two units of Origin Stones under the Lucky Clover tree, and it was estimated that the Lucky Clover had absorbed a significant amount of them as well.
Four-Leaf had prepared another ten thousand Origin Stones for Angelica, just in case they were needed if the Origin Power was insufficient.
Angelica inspected the various God-given Seeds once, finally stopping under the Lucky Clover God-given Seed tree.
Angelica looked up to examine the Lucky Clover God-given Seed. The God-given Seed had absorbed the nutrients from the Dragon Scale Soil for over a year. Now, the bark on the tree trunk had formed a cyan-black color, with scales like dragon armor.
On the tree, there was also a cyan-green fruit with a diameter of eight or nine centimeters hidden among the leaves.
Angelica was not a fool. On the contrary, it was quite intelligent. Over the years, as the insect closest to Four-Leaf, it had long noticed the uniqueness of the Lucky Clover God-given Seed.
When the other God-given Seeds began to produce fruits one after another, the Lucky Clover God-given Seed had not produced a single fruit. Yet, no spider questioned this.
Moreover, unlike other herbaceous plants that propagated by division, it had been growing larger and taller all the time.
The fruit on its tree had been there for so many years, and even the various lords often came to pay attention. It had long had its own guesses in its heart, but Four-Leaf had not said anything, so it did not ask.
Angelica was actually quite fortunate to have become Four-Leaf's symbiotic insect. Just the free consumption of various Origin Power foods in the kingdom was enough to make other insects envious.
If it had really gone back to find the non-existent Black Cicada tribe, it was afraid that whether it could break through to the Intermediate level would be a problem. As for the fruit on this tree, it estimated that it would not even be worthy of a glance. Unlike now, it could guard it, and whether it could eat it or not was another matter, at least there was a glimmer of hope.
It had also heard other spiders in the kingdom chatting in recent years, saying that some Original Flame Spiders hoped to replace it as Four-Leaf's symbiotic insect. Everyone knew their purpose, which was to get Four-Leaf to leak some Origin Power foods from its claws so that they could evolve.
But it seemed that the kingdom did not agree, the reason being that every Original Flame Spider in the kingdom was independent and could not depend on other spiders, as this would lead to a loss of fighting spirit.
As for the other five Flame Spider clans, it was even more impossible for them to depend on Four-Leaf. If they depended on Four-Leaf, it would be equivalent to Four-Leaf raising a spider for nothing. Who could afford that? Even if they could afford it, they could not raise it, and the kingdom's rules would be broken.
Even if Angelica evolved, it would only get some extra God-given Origin Power foods from Four-Leaf after it had worked.
Just as Angelica was lost in thought, the Lucky Clover God-given Seed in front of it suddenly began to increase the speed at which it absorbed natural Origin Power.
Angelica's heart stirred. It knew that Four-Leaf had begun to evolve. Insect warriors and lifeforms had a mutual bond. It could be said that their souls were intertwined. If the lifeform died, the insect warrior's soul would also be injured.
At the same time, if the insect warrior broke through, the lifeform would also automatically advance. It was just that when the insect warrior evolved to a small age, the lifeform would not change much. Only when advancing to a major realm would there be more obvious changes.
Watching the God-given Seed begin to devour natural Origin Power, Angelica also picked up the Spider Silk bag containing Origin Stones and prepared.
At first, the Lucky Clover God-given Seed only absorbed Origin Power within a radius of ten meters. As the Origin Power was continuously drawn in,
this area also formed an Origin Power vacuum, and then Origin Power from other places continuously filled this Origin Power vacuum.
Angelica felt the range of the Origin Power vacuum expand little by little. It could not help but take two steps back, leave this range, and then open a Spider Silk bag, frantically scraping Origin Stones. Countless invisible Origin Power was devoured by the Lucky Clover God-given Seed.
Its tree body swelled little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally cyan-green fruit on its tree also became slightly reddish while expanding due to photosynthesis.
Angelica had been guarding under the Lucky Clover God-given Seed tree. It took two days to use up three thousand of the ten thousand Origin Stones left by Four-Leaf, plus nearly twenty thousand Origin Stones and dozens of times the natural Origin Power originally under the tree, before the Lucky Clover God-given Seed finished absorbing Origin Power.
Four-Leaf's Origin Power food intake was relatively balanced, and its evolutionary age was relatively stable. The evolution time was basically within five days.
Perhaps because it was more difficult to advance to an Advanced warrior, the sun and moon rotated, and seven days passed before Four-Leaf slowly woke up in the nest chamber.
After it woke up, it moved subconsciously and felt that the outer shell that originally protected it had become extremely ill-fitting, even hindering the body's flexible movements.
Slightly stunned, it regained its senses and realized that it was in the advanced stage of evolution.
It broke free from its old shell, and its body crawled out. Originally, its leg span was 1.9 meters, but now it reached about 2.2 to 2.3 meters. However, because it had just molted, its body was still a little soft.
It felt the changes in itself from the intermediate to the advanced stage. In addition to the leg span reaching 2.3 meters, its mental power range also reached 150 meters. This was a change in the entire major stage, and Siyue was quite satisfied with it.
Siyue slowly crawled out of the nest. When Danggui saw it, it immediately greeted it, holding a half-meter-long sea fish in its claws.
Coming to Siyue's face, Danggui immediately began to dig fish meat with its claws. It hooked a long strip of fish meat and handed it to Siyue: "Siyue, eat something."
Siyue took the fish meat from Danggui's claws and swallowed it quickly. Only after eating a whole sea fish did its stomach barely feel full.
Danggui stared at Siyue with its large compound eyes: "Siyue, how does it feel to be promoted to an advanced warrior?"
Siyue responded: "It doesn't feel like anything, just so-so."
,
"Oh," Danggui was preparing to be promoted to an advanced warrior next year. Hearing Siyue say this, it couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that advanced warriors were just like that.
Siyue looked up at the Clover God-given Seed opposite the nest. It sensed that the soul consciousness inside the tree was still sleeping: "Is there anything wrong with Clover?"
Danggui: "It absorbed the original power for two days and two nights, and the original stones you left me have also been used for three thousand."
"Oh, it doesn't matter if the original stones are used up, as long as the tree is fine."
Danggui asked: "Siyue, have you chosen the life seed for your advanced warrior stage?"
Siyue spat out the Soul Bean life seed from its life sac, packed it in a small spider silk bag, and will take it to Twin Peaks to sow it: "Lord Qingfeng has chosen it for me, and I will go to him to get it then."
"Oh, oh," Danggui just asked casually and didn't really care about it.
"Siyue, you have been promoted to an advanced Flame Spider, and all of your life seeds have also been promoted to advanced. Can you produce original power food this year?"
Siyue shook its whiskers: "The life seeds have just been promoted and have consumed a lot of stored life energy. Let them rest for another year."
Siyue asked: "Besides Clover, have you checked my other life seeds?"
Danggui shook its antennae: "I started patrolling a few times. When you were evolving, Clover's speed of absorbing original power was too terrifying. I was afraid that it would absorb a lot of original power again, so I stayed here and didn't dare to leave.
However, you had prepared original stones for the other life seeds before, and you also added fertile soil. I have checked them, and there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Okay, then I'll go check again." After the carapace re-hardened, Siyue ate another sea fish.
After recovering its strength, it went to check the status of the life seeds as usual.
"I'll go with you." Danggui was also afraid that there would be a problem with Siyue's life seeds.
Siyue first looked at the Clover God-given Seed. Its soul was still sleeping, but its tree diameter had increased from the original 10 centimeters to 12 centimeters.
Moreover, Siyue found that the fruit on the tree already had a hint of red, which made it excited. After so many years, this fruit on the tree finally showed some obvious changes.
It doesn't matter if the divine fruit matures later, as long as it's not like what Lord Fengxin and the others said, that it needs hundreds of years to mature, otherwise it really can't afford it. It hasn't forgotten that it is carrying a huge debt.
After checking the Clover God-given Seed, it then checked the Canola Flower God-given Seed and the Morning Glory God-given Seed. These God-given Seeds didn't seem to be affected by the evolution and were still lively and energetic.
The Date Palm Tree God-given Seed was relatively stable and was also the fastest-growing of its many life seeds. Currently, its tree height has reached 30 meters, and its diameter is also 30 centimeters.
Siyue estimates that in the advanced warrior stage, it will be able to become the God-given Seed with the highest yield in its claws, truly reaching the level of a top-tier God-given Seed.
As for the Long Bean God-given Seed and the Purple Eggplant God-given Seed, they have all been nurturing trees these years. Siyue doesn't expect them to produce too much, as long as they produce more than the Morning Glory God-given Seed.
Its worst God-given life seed now is the Morning Glory God-given Seed, which has low yield, low quality,
It is a kind of God-given Seed with low price. Siyue even dares to say that if its Sea Soul Fir life seed fully produces original power food in the future, it can catch up with the Morning Glory God-given Seed.
It seems that it still needs to step on it more often, and can't let it be too detached. The last one to check was naturally the Mangrove Tree God-given Seed growing by the sea. This God-given Seed can barely be regarded as being in the range between double-quality God-given Seeds and top-tier God-given Seeds. For insectoids with earth-type talents, it can be regarded as a top-tier God-given Seed.
It is also the one with the fastest growth rate after the Date Palm Tree God-given Seed. Now it is already twenty-four to five meters high, and the diameter has reached more than forty centimeters. Moreover, the root system is very large. As long as it doesn't encounter the typhoon of a few years ago, ordinary small typhoons can't shake it at all.
Climbing to the trunk of the Mangrove Tree God-given Seed, Siyue overlooked the river beach below. Previously, the Lord of Torch Mountain had built = here
A small dam project. Siyue and Danggui planted many trees on it. After seven or eight years have passed +
In the past, these trees have also grown to be more than ten meters high and can already withstand large gusts of wind.
Danggui also flew to the tree and landed beside Siyue.
Seeing it, Siyue suddenly thought of something and asked: "Danggui, how are your pearl shells being raised?"
"Uh," it really was rubbing salt in the wound.
Danggui said dejectedly: "The yield of pearl shells is very low. I and Baizhi have been raising them for so many years, and I estimate that we can't even recover the cost."
Siyue was a little strange: "Didn't you say that they were being raised well before?"
It didn't pay much attention to this aspect before, and it really didn't know their progress.
However, as it gradually grew, it found that if raising pearl shells could be successful, it would really be a profitable industry.
Not to mention anything else, the original power pearls alone would be enough to make the insect heart beat.
Compared to insectoid warriors planting trees, building forest seas, and trying to cultivate God-given Seeds, the return of pearl shells is also high.
Some unlucky insects have cultivated a forest sea for a lifetime and haven't obtained a single God-given Seed. Hundreds of years of effort have been wasted.
Unlike pearl shells, which take one year to cultivate seedlings and three years to take effect, although the return may not be as high as that of God-given Seeds,
But the benefits are visible to the naked eye!
Danggui said depressedly: "I don't know why, but the pearls cultivated later only have original power in the original stone fragments themselves and can't meet the requirements for increasing original power at all."
"Uh," hearing Danggui say this, Siyue was at a loss. It didn't pay attention to this aspect and wasn't as professional as Baizhi. It originally thought that it would be able to enter a new industry in the advanced warrior stage, but it seems that it still has to wait for Danggui and the others to figure it out before investing heavily in development.
