Chapter 924 - 663: The Legend of Nine Colors (Part 2)
These insects remained stationed on Yu’e Island.
The Dragon Cypress sifted through countless elite forces. After a day’s preparation, it personally led the army, with Ice State Whirl Beasts at the forefront, launching a decisive attack on Blue Island.
The Stone Hunt Blue Ants excel at Water Control, triggering tsunamis to assault.
Thus, in this battle, we will not occupy surrounding islands.
The army charges straight into Blue Island’s mainland, riding the winds, fiercely attacking the northern end of the island.
...
...
In the Southern Hemisphere, Shanglu, the most mysterious island that combines wealth and power, is isolated in the tropical ocean, a large island.
To the south, only a hundred kilometers away, there’s a subsidiary island over a thousand square kilometers in size. Originally inhabited by a ’Goldna Ant Country’ that migrated from Wanglan Continent, they were threatened by the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King and moved to Shanglu’s mainland.
Further south,
there are scattered small islands.
On a barren island of only two or three square kilometers, along the coast on a black reef, a Deep Purple Flame Spider Warrior lies quietly facing the barren mountain ahead.
"Zheng, I told you long ago that bringing war to Zhibai Continent was not a wise move. What now? What forces on Blue Island can possibly resist that Dragon Cypress Ant King, Mantis King Ink Orchid, and the army of over thirty million mainland allied forces?"
"Huo, what you say is nonsense."
"I have nothing to say."
"Have you found out clearly? Where did that Dragon Cypress Ant King and Mantis King Ink Orchid come from?"
"Unknown origins. They’re not Zhibai Continent insects, nor the rumored ones funded by us at Shanglu."
"Not from Zhibai Continent? Previously, Wanglan Continent had not heard of them either. Such a massive force, how could they emerge from thin air? I’ve been to Rainbow Island; it was just an abandoned barren island."
"I don’t know. Shanglu Divine Tree, Snow Velvet, Blood Root, Water Orchid know, but none are willing to tell me. The Shanglu Divine Tree knows everything; it already knows what I’ve done, but hasn’t exposed it. I can feel it, Snow Velvet and the others have already grown suspicious. The Origin Force Star Realm no longer has a place for me."
"You’re going to escape?"
"Those steward Spider Kings don’t have the tolerance of the Shanglu Divine Tree."
Huo hesitated for a moment, sighed, and asked:
"Zheng, how many years have we known each other?"
"Three hundred years?"
"Three hundred and twenty-seven years. Three hundred and twenty-seven years ago, I was a Mountain Lord Level roving merchant in tremendous debt, with nowhere to go."
"So you came to Blue Island."
"Yes. You helped me turn things around. I am grateful in my heart, which is why I have helped you with so many things. Zheng, I remember the help you gave me back then and count you as my best friend. So, let me give you one last piece of advice: it is all over. Leave for the sake of the Stone Hunt Blue Ant lineage."
"Huo, I will offer you one piece of advice as well: You cannot become a steward Spider King of Shanglu Ancestral Land not because of circumstances but because of your pessimistic and negative attitude in the face of adversity. Acting this way, you’ll never achieve great things no matter where you go."
"Maybe. But I truly cannot figure out how Blue Island can cope with that Mantis. Ocean God’s Scepter? Just a relic of a perished civilization."
"It’s a divine artifact from an advanced civilization far surpassing King Level from Outworld."
"A divine artifact? Inherited Memory makes it clear: this world only has one True God—Nature God. Zheng, the world protected by Nature God is far deeper and more complex than what you see."
Zheng suddenly felt alarmed, his calm finally disturbed as he asked, "Huo, did you just mention ’that Mantis’? What of the Mantis? I refuse to believe a mere Insect King can massacre so much of Blue Island’s elites single-handedly."
"I don’t believe it either, so I gambled on seeking guidance from Shanglu Divine Tree, which led to my exposure. Besides, perhaps I had already shown flaws, and Shanglu Divine Tree simply didn’t point them out. This time, the Shanglu Divine Tree unusually maintained its calm, drew me into its Law Space, and told me a story from the past."
"Story?"
"Law Space?"
"What story?"
Zheng felt a vague sense of unease.
"Zheng, do you know why Shanglu Divine Tree is called ’Divine Tree’?"
"I don’t know."
"I’ve just learned. Origin Force Plants are divided into three types: The first type, Semi-Origin Force Plant, are grown from ordinary plant seeds nurtured through a Life Pouch by Insect Clan Warriors; the second type, born randomly in nature or bestowed by Divine Power, are natural Origin Force Plants..."
Huo first explained the hierarchy of Origin Force Plants and the existence of Law Divine Tree, then continued:
"Once, long ago, cycles ago in Origin Force Reincarnation, Shanglu Divine Tree couldn’t even remember how many, there was a Law Divine Tree called ’Seven-Colored Maple,’ also known as ’Seven-Colored Divine Tree,’ born in the Northern Hemisphere of Star Realm, Ten-thousand Tribes Continent, Flower Mantis Tribe. It produced Seven-Colored Fruits with strengthening effects split into two parts: the first part grants a seven-element talent and unparalleled elemental affinity, the second part grants law divine patterns of seven-element forms."
"The Orchid Mantis tribe of Flower Mantis Tribe mutated under the Law Divine Tree, gaining seven-element talent potential, known as ’Seven-Colored Orchid Mantis.’ Later, a Flower Mantis Warrior emerged claiming to be ’Nine-Colored,’ with two more colors than their tribe’s ancestor ’Seven-Colored Divine Tree.’
"This Nine-Colored Mantis King was overpowering, capable of disregarding the Divine Force Barrier set by Natural True God and ignoring Origin Force vacuum environments, roaming the world freely. With unrivaled power, attacks could be unleashed with the mere flapping of its wings, and within the Origin Force Star Realm, no insect could withstand it..."
"Wait!"
Zheng’s calm demeanor shattered, incredulous as he asked: "Effortlessly traversing Divine Force Barrier?"
Huo: "Yes—"
Huo continued: "That Nine-Colored Mantis King was arrogant and brutish. It claimed dominance over Zhibai and Wanglan Continents, demanding all tribes offer treasures and tribute, looting continental wealth, with no insect resisting, until it charged onto Shanglu..."
