Dawn Spider

"Extra-high grade divinely bestowed food containing primal force!"

"Ten boxes! And the variety is quite extensive!"

"I'm rich!"

"I've struck it rich this time! I have the resources to break through and evolve into the Insect King!"

"Do you have enough capabilities?"

"I'll break through the 7-year mark when I have time, and then I'll know."

"It's a pity it's not earth-based."

"It's a pity it's not a water system!"

"It's a pity it's not a metal element!"

"..."

The excavation team members include seven elemental types: earth, water, fire, lightning, wind, and metal, but none of them are wood-type.

After the initial excitement and elation, a wave of regret and sorrow followed.

If the attributes don't match, then you can only exchange it for something else. The best you can get back is at the King level.

...

After a brief discussion, the insects returned to the ground and checked each room one by one.

No other treasure troves were found, nor anything else of value.

On the left and right sides, there were 10 smaller metal buildings, which were all empty when checked in turn.

Clearly, before the cataclysmic disaster struck, the human warriors living here received the news and moved elsewhere.

...

“I have checked carefully, and there is no hidden treasure.”

"Mr. Jin, they're all empty nests."

"What's the next step in digging?"

"It seems there are other roads leading elsewhere."

"Perhaps there are similar buildings!"

"Shall we dig it up and take a look?"

"Nonsense! Of course we have to dig in and take a look!"

"Dig! Dig! Dig!"

"..."

Before Jin could give the order, Jin Nan, Xue Guo, Bai Cang, and the others had already discussed it and rushed out of the building to start digging.

...

Another half day later,
The Blood Fruit Lord's astonished mental energy reverberated.

"Something's strange over there! There's something there!"

"Boss Jin, Boss Jin, Boss Jin..."

Jin awoke from his meditation and flashed to the scene.

The Blood Fruit Lord pointed with its paw and said, "Boss Jin, there's something over there that looks like a tree branch! It's very strange; it's neither carbonized nor petrified. The only explanation is that it was once at a very, very high level of life, and its branches and leaves were strong enough that even the power of time could not erode or destroy them."

"Oh……"

Jin immediately understood what was going on.

This place is home to a large group of wood-type primal force plants with extremely high evolutionary levels, led by the 'Wood King'.

What the Blood Fruit Lord was referring to were likely the remains of these primal plants.

Gold can be summed up in one word: "Dig!"

"dig!"

"Dig it open and take a look!"

"..."

The insects continued.

Jin was present at the scene.

After another half day, a faint, special wood-type primal energy fluctuation emanated from the rock layer.

Dig it open to take a look.

A branch, more than ten centimeters thick, has been preserved, along with its leaves. Due to long years of seepage and soaking deep underground, it has turned black, but still retains strong primal energy properties.

Lord Tuanhua, with her keen observation, immediately noticed the problem and pointed to the broken branch, saying, "Everyone, look here! This isn't a break, it's been cut by a sharp weapon!"

All eyes were on them, followed by various speculations.

"This place was originally home to a divinely bestowed seed from a foreign civilization, which was then cut down?"

"Not necessarily. It's also possible that the alien civilization encountered a powerful enemy, and this divinely bestowed seed took the initiative to condense its core and fled with the alien warriors."

"The tree core has run away! I'm sure of it! Because I can only sense branches and fallen leaves around me, I haven't found the main trunk, or even any thick branches."

"It must have been a very large tree. The main trunk and thick branches were cleared and removed, and the thin branches that were removed were not bothered to be processed."

"Boss Jin, what was written on that wooden board just now? 'Alien civilizations will one day be reborn and return'?" "That makes sense! They've run away! Or, in some way, they've fallen into a state of suspended animation?"

"If that alien civilization has truly returned, or been reborn, how are we going to deal with it? We can't possibly defeat it, can we?"

"We definitely can't win!"

"Not necessarily, isn't there also a true God of Nature?"

"And what about those peak-stage 9th-instar insect kings who left the Force Astral Plane? Where did they go?"

"I heard that he received a summons from the true God of Nature and went on an expedition."

"An expedition? To whom? To foreign civilizations?"

"That's not clear."

"..."

The insects chattered and discussed animatedly.

After a long time,
Jin couldn't stand it anymore. He raised his paw to signal, then pointed to the tree branch that had been dug out and said:
"Based on my experience, the remains of extremely high-grade divine-given seeds can serve as nourishment for other divine-given seeds, making them grow more vigorously and robustly, and aiding their evolution and growth. These withered branches are also invaluable treasures!"

"I understand this!"

Lord Huangying shook his tentacles vigorously, saying, "This is the remains of a Wood-type Divine Seed, and it has the best effect on enhancing the Wood-type Divine Seed!"

"Yes! That's right! I understand!"

Master Zifeng enthusiastically chimed in, saying excitedly, "Two hundred years ago, the life seed of the Sumeru Insect King was relocated once. It moved from Wuchao Mountain to the present-day Sumeru Mountain. The life seed condensed into the tree heart, the plant was cut down and sent there, and crushed into powder to be used as fertilizer for the tree heart to regenerate. The warriors who helped with the transport at that time obtained many fragments, which they took back to use on their own life seeds. The effect was very good, increasing production!"

"Of course, the cost of relocating plants is extremely high. After the relocation, it took thirty years for the life-seed of the Sumeru Insect King to initially recover its production capacity, and fifty years to barely recover to the pre-relocation yield."

"Oh!"

"Increase production?"

"This thing's evolutionary level is much higher than that of the Sumeru Insect King's life seed, and its remaining primal energy characteristics are not weak..."

"It could be worth quite a few rough stones!"

"Dig! Dig! Dig!"

"..."

The Blood Fruit Lord pointed with his claw and said, "There are plenty of them up ahead."

The insects began digging.

Most of what was cleared out were thin branches less than 10 centimeters in diameter and scattered leaves, but all in all, the quantity was not small.

After working for half a day, the insects ran out of energy and took a break.

Jin suddenly had a brilliant idea. He used a spider silk bag to fill a bag with leaves, took it into the underground warehouse of the palace, and activated the Force food processing equipment.

Mix a gene-generating agent with a leaf and add it to the device.

It can be started!

After waiting for a while,

The hatch at the rear of the equipment opened automatically, and granules of accompanying 'fertilizer' tumbled to the ground with a clinking sound.

The resting insects stood by and watched.

"Mr. Jin, what's wrong...?"

"Using this equipment, the remains of divinely bestowed seeds can be processed into 'granular fertilizer' that is more easily absorbed by plants. It can be diluted with water for irrigation or buried in a shallow layer of soil, which is very convenient."

"hiss……"

"Oh!"

"But Mr. Jin, you just threw in a wood-type divinely bestowed food? That thing is extremely valuable!"

"It was used to exploit a bug in the device's program, and it can be taken back. We can switch to cheaper, lower-level divinely granted energy food later; it'll be the same."

"Hurry up and replace it! Each one is worth forty or fifty thousand."

"This process must consume a lot of raw crystals, right? Is it worth it to make granular fertilizer?"

"Let's try making a batch. I'll send it back to Silk Sunflower Mountain first, arrange for taro to be used, and confirm the effect."

As Jin spoke, he turned around and instructed, "Firethorn, go outside and keep watch. When the strong wind comes, let me know that I have an important mission to assign!"

"Roger that!"

Firethorn immediately turned and left.

Jin continued working, saying to the insects, "If the effect is particularly good, we can use this method to process it into granular fertilizer, package it, and sell it, priced as food given by God's Force."

Lord Huangying raised his paw to indicate, "Boss Jin, my Weeping Cherry Blossom God-given Seed is also a wood element."

Jin said, "That's even better. Once the excavation here is finished, Lord Huangying can send a batch of granular fertilizer back to the mountain to test its effects. Let's find a few more Wood-type Divine Seeds to test."

Lord Jin Nan said, "I didn't sense any other metal structures. So, is it possible that this ruin only contains this one group of buildings, and the rest of the area is the territory where the divinely bestowed seed took root?"

Lord Tuanhua added, "Based on my observations and speculations, the divinely bestowed seeds are extremely rare in alien civilizations, and their status is much higher than in our natural pantheon. Because the divinely bestowed seeds have taken root here, the alien force warriors built walls to enclose and protect it."

These insects aren't that stupid either.

That's the reality.

"That's what I was thinking too..."

Jin said, "Everyone, hurry up and restore it. All the 'withered branches and fallen leaves' in the ruins must be cleared out." (End of Chapter)
