Chapter 688 The energy that can truly give birth to flower spirits, the three-way alliance fleet

Let Ailian rest in bed, and Dachun will return to the second-floor farm to continue his watch.

Then, switching to the alternate account, the Queen had already slowly woken up: "Master, I've rested enough, let's go!"

Da Chun asked, "You haven't eaten all day, shouldn't you eat something?"

The Queen said, "We haven't eaten for eight days. Being able to absorb the pure power of the void, we feel we don't need to eat those low-grade meats anymore."

So you've really started practicing asceticism and fasting? Yeah, it seems like I haven't eaten for days either.

Da Chun asked in surprise, "Why do I have this feeling?"

The Queen said, "It would take energy to digest this low-energy meat, which is not worthwhile. I think it would be more worthwhile to eat the flesh of those who are stronger than us."

Da Chun was surprised: "Do all void creatures not eat low-level creatures?"

The Queen was also unsure: "Low-end creatures are not picky eaters, but high-end creatures depend on the situation."

"Alright, let's head to the ancient battlefield then."

This actually reminded Da Chun of a joke about hunting and eating rabbits during famines, which supposedly made people hungrier. This is because rabbit meat is low in fat and high in protein. Digesting protein requires the use of fat and sugar, so eating rabbit meat was a losing proposition.

The ancient battlefield was still relatively far away, so Da Chun temporarily ignored it and switched back to the large vine.

After a morning, the vines' absorption progress was almost full, and Da Chun was just waiting for the completion time.

finally:

—System notification: Congratulations! Your vine form has reached 100% absorption of ley line energy, gaining the new special skill "Earth Life Essence Absorption", which allows you to additionally extract and absorb "Earth Life Essence" from the earth.

Then the progress bar returns to zero and starts drawing again from 0.001%.

Da Chun was astonished. His vine had evolved the "absorption" skill by absorbing the "Earth Life Essence" from Mother Earth's pot, which was how his fake vine truly came to life. After rescuing the goddess and self-destructing, it returned to mediocrity. Now, this skill of absorbing essence has reappeared!
However, the tips of my vines have grown from thin strands into yams! My purpose is not to cultivate vines, but to provide energy to the divine realm, so I have to follow what Old Cui said and make use of the advantages of rune plants: disintegrate the physical body and recycle it into spiritual energy!
As for which segment to reclaim...

Da Chun checked the length of the vines and found that they had grown thick and strong along the nearly one-kilometer stretch from the slum to the main street. He decided to reclaim the entire section.

However, it cannot be instantly retracted all at once, otherwise the transformation from physical to spiritual might cause it to expand and produce a fart. If it were to fart while passing through the guardian deity's sealing barrier, it could lead to disaster!
Therefore, we should start by gradually dismantling the fattest part at the front!

Start!
Although Da Chun only slightly dissipated, a huge surge of energy still rushed back into the body like someone who needed to urinate urgently!
Holy crap, that's some force! But don't panic, the vines will thin out later, so we shouldn't alarm the guardian spirit!
Da Chun monitored the energy flow and successfully returned to his body, back to the divine realm, and back to the second floor of the farm where he was located.

At this moment, the entire second floor was filled with colorful clouds and mist!
Holy crap! Is all of this spiritualized energy? It's incredibly mixed!
The goddess's surprised voice came from below: "What is this?"

Da Chun was embarrassed: "You're a goddess, you should know more, right?"

The goddess retorted irritably, "I'm only 23!"

Um... well, it seems there's not much difference between you, a natural goddess, and Ellen, a goddess created later in life.
Old Cui's voice came: "This is the spiritual energy that can truly give birth to tree spirits and flower spirits. Warrior, look forward to it! Your farm is about to have a bumper harvest. If you're lucky, a spirit will be born. If it is a spirit, be careful not to harvest it." Da Chun was astonished: "Spirits can be born so quickly?"

Old Cui said, "It is very possible that your native bean variety is a tea tree variety."

Ah, that's right! These four native seeds were "dream essences" given to me by four farmers in the countryside of Gemstone Township. They had been brewing in their dreams for decades. Perhaps this plant-based "dream essence" is what should truly be called "essence of life."

No wonder Mina said that when they followed the Dark Soul Witch, their main focus was on stealing the flowers and plants in the dream world. It turns out that these were the most valuable things!
So, it's fine to harvest the crops, the key is to preserve the four original mother plants! In fact, I've never touched these four original mother plants before, because when I planted them, I felt that if they were gone, the farm would be gone too.

If I also had my own four flower spirits—no, I don't even know what to call them? Bean spirit? Smoke spirit? Sugarcane spirit? Of course, the names don't matter; what matters is that I won't have to worry about Lia's four flower spirits anymore.

With a clear goal in mind, Da Chun became even more motivated and continued to gradually disband and reclaim assets...

……

Deep in the void.

Michael and the Fourth Prince, aboard the golden throne warship "Admiral Barov," and the entire Uledios Merchant Guild, aboard the Black Dragon Lord Shachima warship from the Black Dragon Abyss City, formed a diplomatic alliance and set off for the ancient battlefield.

It must be said that achieving this was both difficult and within Michael's calculations.

In short, as long as you have enough privilege points, there are no problems with diplomatic visits and even two diplomatic envoys forming an alliance. However, forming an alliance does not equate to two cities forming an alliance.

The difficulty lies in deciding which ship to send to the mission to explore the ancient battlefield.

If Michael had requested reconnaissance alone previously, the military, fearing losses, would have only dispatched a single patrol boat. Now, going to the God's Nest in the ancient battlefield, the military is even less inclined to send a large warship!

However, if we don't send large ships and only send small boats, the other delegation will see us as cowardly, which would be a loss of face and seriously damage our military prestige.

Therefore, both sides ultimately decided on these two high-performance capital ships. It was less about exploring the ancient battlefield and more about flexing their muscles. With these two large ships, the exploding locusts Michael had encountered earlier were a complete joke; a single barrier could easily stop them.

Even if we encounter some Void Rays, they'll be taken down in a few shots with the main cannon. But if we really encounter a Void God... we can test the god's strength first; we should still have the ability to escape.

In truth, although Uriel disdained the prophet, he still secretly believed him, that there was no god of the void, but only a being that was close to a god.

After several hours of traveling at full speed—well, actually, it was a race against time between the two sides—a vast cluster of shattered stars appeared before them on the ancient battlefield.

Then Raziel, the unauthorized representative of the divine realm, appeared on a surfboard.

At this moment, the NPC soldiers of the Divine Throne Warship remained silent, while the soldiers of the Black Dragon Warship burst into laughter.

Actually, ridicule is a good thing. It's precisely because the NPCs have this competitive spirit that they were able to acquire these two large ships.

Raziel retorted irritably, "What are they laughing at? I'm just a nobody, unknown even to the gods. What would happen if they knew?"
