Natural God's Gift

Si Ye recalled something: "By the way, has Lord Ginkgo returned from Dragon Bamboo Continent?"

It didn't follow Lord Ginkgo to Dragon Bamboo Continent in the second half of this year; Mountain Lord Banxia went with Lord Ginkgo instead.

Banxia is about the same age as Xuan Yu, and its territory is close to the initial territory. When Si Ye was little, it took care of it a lot, and even guarded the Morning Glory God-given Seed for it for half a year.

Danggui: "It hasn't returned yet. We'll get news when it does."

Si Ye looked forward to it: "I hope we can find other types of divine God-given Seeds."

Although the Amethyst Grape God-given Seed found last year was good, its main function is to grant Earth-type talent, and Si Ye already has Earth-type talent.

In addition, it also comes with an ability called Amethyst Barrier, which is said to be an upgraded version of the earth and stone solidification ability, and is the most powerful Earth-type defensive ability in the Star Realm.

It's just that Si Ye is evolving into a second-age Mountain Lord and has comprehended the ability to turn anything into steel. No matter how much the earth and stone ability is strengthened, it can't be strengthened to the strength of steel.

Without these two functions, it means that the divine Amethyst Grape is useless to Si Ye. Eating it is a waste, which is very embarrassing.

However, it feels that as it awakens the seven elemental talents, there will be fewer and fewer divine fruits that can effectively increase its abilities in the future.

On the other hand, when Lord Longxu sent the Mangrove God-given Seed to Si Ye before, it once made it promise that if it obtained a divine fruit that grants talent, it would give them two for free. It can buy one at a low price and give it to the other party.

As for the second one, it may need to be purchased at the original price. Anyway, compared to the value of a tree God-given Seed, the money to buy a divine fruit is simply not worth mentioning.

As for what Lord Longxu, a Yuan Power warrior who lives in the water all year round, would do with an Earth-type talent? Who cares, as long as it completes the task.

After Danggui finished reporting everything, Si Ye stretched its body. It felt that its body strength had increased a lot, and it was thinking about when to test its physical fitness again to see what level it had reached.

"Okay, go and do your work. I'll take the Corydalis God-given Seed to plant it."

Danggui looked at the environment: "Winter is coming soon, and the temperature has dropped a lot in recent years. Is it not good to plant the Fate Seed now?"

Si Ye: "It's not a big problem. Just use spider silk to make a greenhouse."

Spider silk can even isolate Yuan Power, so there's no problem with keeping it warm. Anyway, Corydalis is not a big tree, so it can easily survive the winter with a spider silk greenhouse.

"Where to plant it?" Since the intermediate stage, Si Ye has been planting Fate Seeds on the Twin Peaks. Now there are nearly twenty Fate Seeds planted here, whether at the foot of the mountain, the mountainside, the top of the mountain, the riverside, or the woodland.

Ordinary Fate Seeds are fine, but God-given Seeds need to be given a certain amount of space, otherwise, the God-given Seeds are prone to fight each other for nutrients and other problems, and may even cause the God-given Seeds to die because of this reason. This is obviously not a situation that any insect warrior wants to see.

"Plant it in the ditch next to the barrier lake." The core position in the territory has been planted, and now it can only be planted in the edge area of the territory.

"Whatever makes you happy." Anyway, it is Si Ye's own territory, and it is its own Fate Seed, so it is up to it to arrange it.

"Do you want me to find a Flame Spider Little Warrior to open up a space?"

"No need." What are you kidding me? It is now a seven-element Flame Spider Warrior with 26 abilities. Does it need a Flame Spider Little Warrior to open up a space to plant a God-given Seed? Does it not want face?

Si Ye told Danggui to go and do its own work, and it took the Corydalis God-given Seed to the barrier lake to plant it.

Arriving near the barrier lake, this area has not been developed yet, and is full of weeds and shrubs, which have begun to wither in the winter season, making it frown.

The location of the barrier lake is also very close to the Dragon Bamboo Plain, or rather, its location is at the junction of the two territories.

From the barrier lake to the entire Dragon Bamboo Plain, nearly one hundred and twenty to thirty square kilometers are all in a barren state. From weeds to various trees, they grow randomly, and there is not even a road.

If Si Ye was not prepared to manage the territory on a large scale, that would be fine, but it intends to manage the territory and has the ability to deal with this matter, so naturally it wants to deal with this matter.

Thinking of this, it opened up a wasteland, planted the Fate Seed, built a greenhouse, and then took advantage of the winter season to go to the kingdom to apply for burning and reclamation.

Burning and reclamation is something that requires all aspects to be prepared before it can be done in the Star Realm, because most of the Star Realm is mountainous and forested. If the protection is not done well, it is easy to burn through thousands of miles, from south to north.

If you are not careful, let alone reclaiming wasteland, even Fate Seeds and insects can be burned into carbon.

It doesn't know about other places, but in the Flame Spider Kingdom, you can only burn mountains and reclaim wasteland after hiring White-Legged warriors with Fire-type talents and Rainbow Flame Spider warriors with Water-type talents.

Si Ye already has Water and Fire-type talents and abilities, so there is no problem in applying for setting fire to burn the mountain, and it also has the confidence to control the fire.

However, after obtaining the approval of the kingdom, to be on the safe side, it still invited two Mountain Lords from the White-Legged Flame Spider tribe as guides.

"Setting fire to burn the mountains will get you a life sentence!" Standing on a high mountain, the two Mountain Lords of the White-Legged Flame Spider tribe carefully examined a temporary map of the Dragon Bamboo Plain with their claws.

Si Ye and the two Mountain Lords of the Rainbow Flame Spider tribe peeked and probed behind them.

Si Ye originally thought that after applying for the reclamation plan, it could just start working, but fortunately, based on the knowledge it learned in the kingdom, it knew that professional matters should be left to professional spiders, so it invited the Mountain Lords of the White-Legged Flame Spider tribe.

According to Mountain Lord Gouqi and Mountain Lord Zhuying of the White-Legged Flame Spider tribe, reclamation with fire is not that simple. First of all, the size of the area to be reclaimed needs to be planned, otherwise, it would be impossible to burn from south to north, from east to west, right?

In Si Ye's plan, in addition to the one-kilometer radius around the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed that is currently planted, the entire Dragon Bamboo Plain must be scorched once, so as not to have to spend more than ten years like the Twin Peaks and still not be completely reclaimed.

And on the Twin Peaks side, the 20 square kilometers of land that have not yet been reclaimed must also be burned once, so that it will be convenient to plant trees next year.

After Mountain Lord Gouqi and Mountain Lord Zhuying discussed the map, they changed part of Si Ye's plan and rejected part of it.

"You have planted too many top-level plants and Fate Seeds on the Twin Peaks side. Burning this side will affect the plants and Fate Seeds you have planted, so you cannot use fire to reclaim wasteland here."

Si Ye thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Compared to claw-driven clearing, burning was always a bit more dangerous. For the sake of the many lifeforms, it was better to be cautious.

"The Dragon Bamboo Plain was formed by the impact of the Flame Spider Kingdom's great river, flowing from south to north, with an overall leaf-like shape. One side is close to the river, which can be cleared by burning."

"However, it's not as simple as just setting a fire."

"The Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed cannot be affected. There must be no signs of burning within two kilometers around it. The surrounding trees must be cleared first."

Si Ye calculated the range and didn't think it was a big problem: "Okay, I will clear the area around the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed, ensuring not a single blade of grass remains."

"In addition to this, before burning, the Dragon Bamboo Plain must be thoroughly checked to prevent any God-given Seeds or insect warriors from being accidentally injured while hiding within it. Also, all the ordinary small Flame Spiders must be brought out."

"Okay!" This wasn't a problem either, as it was something that needed to be done anyway.

"To prevent the fire from becoming too large to extinguish, a 30-meter-wide isolation zone must be set up every square kilometer."

"Moreover, it is winter now, and the wind is blowing from north to south. Similarly, to avoid the fire from using the wind to ignite the entire mountain, the fire can only burn from south to north."

"Secondly, the weather must also be chosen. It cannot be ignited on rainy days. Besides the fire being difficult to ignite, it will also produce a lot of thick smoke."

"It cannot be ignited when the north or west wind is blowing, because the territory of the insect warriors is below the Dragon Bamboo Plain. The thick smoke carried by the north wind can easily harm the lifeforms of the insect warriors."

Si Ye: "...—"

How come it feels like clearing by burning is not as simple as imagined?

But it has plenty of time. If it doesn't finish this year, it can continue next year. The one thing it doesn't lack is time.

"So, the isolation zone needs to be cleared first, right?"

"Of course," the isolation zones are crisscrossed, and clearing them alone would probably be a considerable project.

Si Ye was a little curious: "How did you guys use fire-based abilities to clear land in previous years?"

Mountain Lord Gouqi: "It depends on where it is. Outside, tribes with fire-based talents would naturally not ask us to clear land."

"Only tribes with wood and lightning talents will make various preparations in advance according to our arrangements, and then appropriately clear land when the grass and leaves wither in the autumn.

This is also less efficient, and only a little can be cleared each year. Very few tribes do this."

"Tribes with water, earth, and wind talents have a much easier time clearing land. They can either change the course of rivers, change the terrain of mountains, or control the weather.

As long as the basic work is done, clearing thousands of square kilometers in one breath is easy."

Mountain Lord Gouqi also mentioned another piece of news from the kingdom: "Isn't the public forest being built by the kingdom currently sending Flame Spider warriors into the mountains to plan and clear isolation zones? I'm afraid it will be cleared by burning in a few years. Otherwise, ten thousand square kilometers won't produce anything even after a thousand years."

"Is that so?" Si Ye has either been running around or guarding the God-given Seed for the past two years, so it hasn't really paid attention to this matter.

"I only heard that Jin Kui got a God-given Seed, but I haven't heard anything else."

"It's quite lucky."

Mountain Lord Gouqi chatted with Si Ye for a few words, but didn't have time to waste here all the time: "Si Ye, if you plan to clear land by burning, you can clear the isolation zone this year and take action when we come back next year."

"Easy, easy." Although burning has more drawbacks, compared to other methods, it is much faster.

After saying goodbye to Mountain Lord Gouqi, Si Ye didn't delay. It hired five Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders and thirty Senior Flame Spiders from the kingdom.

Then, it had the five Mountain Lords each lead a team, and it also led a team itself, to clear firebreaks in a crisscrossing manner on the Dragon Bamboo Plain.

According to the plan, each square kilometer needs to have two vertical firebreaks and two horizontal firebreaks, each firebreak being 30 meters wide. An area of one hundred and twenty square kilometers would require clearing nearly eight square kilometers of area.

In addition, an area with a radius of two kilometers needs to be cleared near the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed, adding up to nearly twenty square kilometers of area to be cleared.

Si Ye led more than thirty warriors and spent nearly two months to barely cut down all the trees with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters in the planned firebreak area.

Afterward, it left the Dragon Bamboo Plain, not because it had finished its work, but because Lord Ginkgo had returned from the Dragon Bamboo Continent. It had to go see if Lord Ginkgo had any major gains.

Everyone still gathered in the office hall square on the Abyss Mountain of the kingdom. When Si Ye passed by the Amethyst Grape God-given Seed, it found that its tendrils were thicker, feeling like they were fifty meters in diameter.

Its length was also getting longer and higher. Observing with Si Ye's 5.0 vision, its height was estimated to be over 1.5 kilometers.

It didn't know who was so idle, but they had woven a huge spider silk rope, tied one end to the Abyss Mountain and the other end to another mountain peak, pulling out a straight line to fix the vine of the Amethyst Grape God-given Seed.

"I don't know where the Amethyst Grape fruit grows. If it grows on the top of the vine, who will pick it after it matures?"

Si Ye muttered a few words and hurried up the mountain.

When it arrived at the kingdom's office hall, the lords and mountain lords with considerable influence in the kingdom had already arrived.

Lord Ginkgo and Banxia were introducing the many God-given Seeds found this time from the Dragon Bamboo Continent to everyone.

A total of eight God-given Seeds were found this time. Unfortunately, no divine-grade God-given Seeds were found, but a power-type God-given Seed called Water Lily caught everyone's attention.

Especially the many mountain lords, at their stage, power-type Origin Power food is very important. If they could have power-type God-given Origin Power food, their chances of evolution would greatly increase.

The Origin Power food produced by the other God-given Seed tree cores were all relatively ordinary types, and there were many substitutes in the kingdom, so they naturally didn't arouse everyone's interest.

As usual, the senior Origin Species Flame Spiders in the kingdom were called to pick the God-given Seed tree cores they wanted and take them back to plant.

After the things were distributed, Lord Ginkgo said with a somewhat dignified tone: "Everyone, this year I went to the Dragon Bamboo Continent,

In addition to finding eight God-given Seed tree cores, I also got good news and not-so-good news."
