Natural God's Gift

The following days were indeed more relaxed, as there were no major events in the kingdom.

The passage to the Zhi Bai Continent had been opened, and contact with the Shanglu Ancestral Land had been established.

Trade routes on the Ten Thousand Races Continent were also quite smooth, and even transporting fertilizer didn't require much attention from Si Ye.

Even if there were some things in the kingdom that Si Ye needed to do, they weren't too burdensome.

Such as the trade of God-grade fruits. On the Shanglu Kingdom side, the Spider King of the Round Purple Flame Spider Tribe, after calculating the cost it would have to pay and the number of talents that might be awakened, finally gritted its teeth and purchased the God-grade Five Elements Fruit from the Flame Spider Kingdom for a price of four thousand cubes of Origin Stones.

On the Shanglu Kingdom side, each tribe had reserved two God-grade God-bestowed Seeds. The Round Purple Flame Spider Tribe possessed the God-grade Wind Letter God-bestowed Seed and the God-grade Gentleman Bamboo God-bestowed Seed.

Because the next batch of God-grade Wind Letter Fruit and God-grade Gentleman Bamboo Fruit were pre-ordered early, Si Ye, representing the Flame Spider Kingdom, took the initiative to propose that the Jingtian Spider King weave God-grade Spider King Letters, allowing them to pay with God-grade Spider King Letters.

When the various God-grade fruits of the Shanglu Kingdom matured, the Flame Spider Kingdom would also purchase them with God-grade Spider King Letters.

This proposal was quickly adopted by the Shanglu Kingdom. They hadn't woven God-grade Spider King Letters before because there was no need for it at the moment. Once there were large transactions, they would immediately start weaving God-grade Spider King Letters.

Even because the transaction amount was too large, the Shanglu Divine Tree directly decided to have the Jingtian Spider King weave God-grade Spider King Letters with denominations of one million Origin Stones and ten Origin Stones respectively.

Such large denominations were destined to be used only for God-grade fruit transactions.

Fortunately, the Shanglu Kingdom had enough varieties of God-grade fruits, which allowed these God-grade Spider King Letters to circulate smoothly.

Besides this, there was also the annual large-scale God-bestowed Origin Power food trade between the two kingdoms.

This trade gradually increased from an initial amount of ten million Origin Stones to fifty million Origin Stones.

Fortunately, they were trading high-quality God-bestowed Origin Power food. Even with a value of fifty million Origin Stones, a Spider King could bear it, and both sides only needed to make one trip each year.

When Si Ye became free, it also turned its attention back to its own territory.

After years of accelerated growth, the Dragon Bamboo God-bestowed Seed evolved from the intermediate stage to the advanced stage in the 230th year of the Origin Power Reincarnation Calendar. The original number of branches also skyrocketed from 145 to 1885, greatly increasing the occupied area.

Fortunately, over the years, they had transported hundreds of thousands of cubes of fertilizer and stockpiled them on the Dragon Bamboo Plain.

Even with the accelerated growth of the Dragon Bamboo God-bestowed Seed and the large-scale branching, the nutrition aspect was still keeping up.

It was mentioned before that this fertilizer should be enough for the Dragon Bamboo God-bestowed Seed to use until the Mountain Lord level, or even the Lord level. But if it were to be promoted to the King level in the future, the amount needed would be too large. Even with several million cubes of fertilizer, it might not be enough for it to absorb.

Therefore, they had not stopped transporting fertilizer to the kingdom in recent years.

This fertilizer was not only for supplementing the Dragon Bamboo God-bestowed Seed's nutrition, but also a portion was transported to Twin Peaks to fertilize the durian trees and banana trees planted by Si Ye.

It had been planting these trees for decades, and had spent a huge amount of funds and insect power and resources for this, but so far, there had been no harvest.

Fortunately, it had also obtained a Water Chestnut God-bestowed Seed a few years ago. Currently, it was relying entirely on this God-bestowed Seed to maintain a state of not losing money.

But even so, Si Ye had not given up on continuing to invest.

Among the several plants it planted, durian and banana were both top-grade plants. As for clover, it was also a plant that it liked.

As long as it could harvest another God-bestowed Seed, its investment over the years would be recovered all at once.

It would calculate this deal with its eyes closed, so naturally it wouldn't give up halfway.

In recent years, it and the Flame Spider warriors working in the territory had also been selecting mutant species and cultivating mutant strains,

in the hope of obtaining a Law God-bestowed Seed.

However, this was not something that could be achieved overnight, and it required a long time to experiment and change.

Time flew by, and it was now the 232nd year of the Origin Power Reincarnation Calendar. At this time, Si Ye had been promoted to a ninth-ring Mountain Lord, only one step away from the Lord level.

There was a more important event this year. The God-grade Wishing Fruit nurtured by the Lucky Clover God-bestowed Seed matured this year.

Si Ye had to send this batch of God-grade Wishing Fruit to the Shanglu Kingdom for the Shanglu Divine Tree to examine.

In the initial territory, the Lucky Clover God-bestowed Seed was rapidly absorbing natural Origin Power. Around it, there were also hundreds of thousands of Origin Stones piled up. As long as the natural Origin Power within its hundred-meter radius was insufficient, it could immediately crush the Origin Stones into powder with its mental will to replenish itself.

Beyond a hundred meters, Si Ye and the Ginkgo Spider King quietly watched the fruit on the tree change from light red to dark red.

When the fruit was ripe, the Lucky Clover God-bestowed Seed stopped absorbing natural Origin Power: "Okay."

"Alright," Seeing this, Si Ye quickly stepped forward, leaped up, picked the fruit from the tree, and then put it into the God-forbidden Box that had been prepared in advance.

Si Ye put the God-forbidden Box into a spider silk bag and carried it on its back armor, and said to the Ginkgo Spider King: "Ginkgo Spider King, the Shanglu Divine Tree is waiting for me to take the fruit over for it to check and experiment."

"Go!"

"Wait," The Lucky Clover God-bestowed Seed called out to Si Ye, who was about to leave, and talked about another matter: "Si Ye, the Life Godstone is estimated to be used up in a few years. Do you want to save the rest for use at a critical moment?"

Si Ye looked at the Ginkgo Spider King, but the Ginkgo Spider King said: "Since the Ziyun Merchant Group gave you the Life Godstone,

it's up to you to decide how to use it."

"Oh." Si Ye said to the Lucky Clover God-bestowed Seed: "How much Life Godstone is left?"

"It can probably supply me for another 40 years. The main reason is that condensing the God-grade Wishing Fruit cost a huge amount of Life Origin Energy. If I save it, it can still be used for a long time.

That's what I'm thinking. The Life Godstone can greatly help the God-bestowed Seed during promotion. It's a pity to consume it like this normally."

"If you don't use the Life Godstone, how long will it take for the fruit on your tree to mature once?"

The Lucky Clover God-bestowed Seed estimated: "It may take eight years, it may take ten years, or twelve years. I can't be very sure, but aren't you going to be promoted to Lord soon? By then, I will also be promoted again, and the fruit ripening period will definitely be greatly shortened."

Si Ye pondered for a moment. If it were to be promoted to the Lord level, the maturity period of the God-grade Wishing Fruit might be compressed to within ten years, which was not an unacceptable time for it.

Moreover, even if the Lucky Clover God-bestowed Seed didn't need it, it might be used for the Dragon Bamboo God-bestowed Seed in the future to speed up its promotion.

"Then don't consume the Life Godstone on weekdays. Save it for when you are promoted to the ring!"

"Okay." The Lucky Clover God-bestowed Seed was naturally extremely happy to hear Si Ye say this. In this way, it could save the Life Godstone, and Si Ye could use Origin Stones for its growth on weekdays.

Three sentences, making a spider spend an extra 100,000 Origin Stones for it every year!

I just don't know if it will burst into swearing when it knows that Si Ye wants to give the Life Godstone to the Dragon Bamboo God-bestowed Seed to use in the future.

After explaining the matter here, Si Ye didn't stay too long, and flew straight into the sky, flying in the direction of the starship's crash.

It crossed two continents in one go, flying directly over Shanglu.

It was the season for the return of various Flame Spider merchant caravans, and everyone was surprised to see a Four-Leaf Original Flame Spider flying in the sky.

"Who is that? A Rank Nine Mountain Lord-level Original Flame Spider? Why haven't I seen it before?"

A patrolling Original Flame Spider warrior, who had been in contact with Four-Leaf for many years, said, "That is Mountain Lord Four-Leaf. It has not only awakened multi-elemental talents but also often accompanies Spider King Jingtian. Even many Spider Kings value it highly."

"Is that so? Could it be a junior cultivated by Spider King Jingtian with great effort?" The Flame Spider Kingdom has so many Flame Spiders that it is not surprising that they don't recognize some.

It's just that they had rarely even heard of such a promising spider before, which is a bit strange.

Meanwhile, in some top caravans, the tribal Spider Kings, upon seeing Four-Leaf enter the core area of Shanglu and instructing the spiders below, quietly left the caravan and followed Four-Leaf.

As King-level Flame Spiders, they are in charge of many affairs of the kingdom, big and small, in the absence of the Shanglu Divine Tree handling trivial matters.

In this situation, they naturally knew about the connection between the neighboring Fang Country Continent and the Zhibai Continent. Moreover, a few years ago, this Flame Spider named Four-Leaf brought a divine-grade fruit capable of bestowing five-elemental talents to sell.

It would be difficult for them not to know.

Hearing that there was a divine-grade fruit with extremely unique abilities ripening on the Myriad Race Continent this year, Four-Leaf's arrival at this time must be to bring that fruit over, right?

The Spider Kings were all fast, their figures darting through the mountains like lightning. By the time they arrived, Four-Leaf had only just landed.

As they approached, they saw a box opened in front of Four-Leaf, containing a heart-shaped, apple-sized, crimson divine-grade fruit covered in silver-white Origin Power patterns, emitting a rich Wood-elemental Origin Energy fluctuation.

"Is this the legendary divine-grade Wishing Fruit?" The Spider Kings approached to examine it, just in time to hear Four-Leaf explaining the effects of the divine-grade Wishing Fruit to the Shanglu Divine Tree and Spider King Jingtian.

"Based on our current experiments, there are three ways to use this fruit."

"The first is to eat it directly and then manifest an impression based on the fruit's abilities in Star Realm history.

There are two minor drawbacks to this. The first is that it is a Wood-elemental ability-bestowing divine-grade fruit, so it can only be eaten by insects with Wood-elemental talents."

Spider King Jingtian raised its foreleg: "That's not a big drawback. Our kingdom doesn't lack spiders with Wood-elemental talents. It's acceptable."

Hearing Spider King Jingtian say this, Four-Leaf continued, "Then the second minor drawback shouldn't be a drawback either, because the Lucky Clover Divine Seed is currently at the Mountain Lord level, so the fruit it bears has only a 20% to 25% chance of awakening a talent."

"That is indeed not a drawback."

"The second method of use is that after eating the divine-grade Wishing Fruit, a Four-Leaf Clover Divine Mark will condense on the insect warrior's forehead.

Using this Divine Mark, you can empower a certain Divine Seed to condense the desired divine-grade fruit, which can increase the probability of awakening a talent."

"We used the divine-grade Wishing Fruit to empower the Emerald Apricot Divine Seed to condense two divine-grade Three-Star Apricots. We haven't tried anything else."

"There is also a third method of use, which is what I used before: burying the divine-grade Wishing Fruit under a plant that is currently nurturing a Divine Seed. There is a chance to obtain multiple Divine Seeds, or it is possible to obtain a useless Divine Seed."

The Spider Kings, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but speak up: "This third method is very risky. Either you double your gains, or you not only lose a divine-grade fruit worth 40 million Origin Stones but also lose a Divine Seed.

If a loss really occurs, just calculating the price, you would lose at least 100 million Origin Stones."

"That's the situation. The specifics depend on your own choices."

The Spider Kings turned slightly and focused all their attention on the Shanglu Divine Tree again: "Shanglu Divine Tree, what do you think?"

The Shanglu Divine Tree emitted mental thoughts to sense the Origin Power patterns of the divine-grade Wishing Fruit, and based on its own millennia of experience and the information Four-Leaf verbally provided, it judged the specific effects of the divine-grade Wishing Fruit.

The Shanglu Divine Tree murmured, "This fruit gives me a very ethereal feeling. What your Sea Soul Fir Divine Seed said is not far off.

The divine-grade Wishing Fruit can indeed accommodate Star Realm Laws after the fact. To be precise, it can materialize divine-grade fruits that you have a concept of. For example, if you know the divine-grade Five Elements Fruit and know its specific effects, you can use the divine-grade Wishing Fruit's ability to transform, or call it replication, or materialization."

Four-Leaf: "Then, Shanglu Divine Tree, can you now estimate the answers to the questions I asked before?"

Shanglu Divine Tree: "Are you talking about whether the divine-grade Wishing Fruit can condense Law divine-grade fruits? Can it condense conceptual divine-grade fruits? Can it condense fruits that replace the Natural True God in bestowing Law Divine Seeds? The three questions?"

"Yes." The reason why Four-Leaf was willing to bring a divine-grade Wishing Fruit for free for the Shanglu Divine Tree to experiment with was not only to obtain divine-grade Shanglu Fruits but also to have the Shanglu Divine Tree thoroughly research the divine-grade Wishing Fruit.

The Shanglu Divine Tree said: "The ability of the divine-grade Wishing Fruit is too peculiar. Even for me, just looking at the fruit's surface abilities, it is still difficult to judge its detailed effects."

"Then what should we do? Should we have a Spider King eat the divine-grade Wishing Fruit on the spot and have it materialize the ability?" Four-Leaf was a little frustrated. It seemed that verifying the ability of the divine-grade Wishing Fruit was not that simple.

"No need to be so troublesome." Suddenly, dozens of slender aerial roots extended from the canopy of the Shanglu Divine Tree, reaching the Divine Forbidden Box, wrapping around the divine-grade Wishing Fruit, and bringing it into the canopy.

Immediately, countless more aerial roots extended from the canopy, tightly wrapping around the divine-grade Wishing Fruit, leaving no gaps.

The gazes of the spiders turned to the canopy of the Shanglu Divine Tree, and they saw the cluster of aerial roots that had been carrying the divine-grade Wishing Fruit shrink from large to small, eventually disappearing without a trace.

"Shanglu Divine Tree?" Not only Four-Leaf, but even the many Spider Kings present were stunned.

"Where's the divine-grade Wishing Fruit?"

The Shanglu Divine Tree said unhurriedly, "Naturally, it was eaten by me."

"Eaten?" The Flame Spider warriors didn't understand and were greatly shocked.

When could a tree eat fruit like that? And it even ate it without leaving a peel. This was simply defying the common sense of the Star Realm.

"What's so strange about that?" The Shanglu Divine Tree said unhappily, "I have lived in the Star Realm for countless Origin Power cycles. Isn't it easy for me to have such an ability?"

Then, without paying attention to the Spider Kings' reactions, it directly issued an order to leave: "From today on, I will be dormant for a year. During this time, unless there is an event that threatens the kingdom's survival, no one is allowed to disturb me."

It then said to Four-Leaf, "I will thoroughly research the ability of the divine-grade Wishing Fruit. Come back in a year."
