Chapter 972 - 678: The Path of Future Evolution (Part 2)
"With so many Divine-Given Seeds that I and Ink Orchid have planted on the island, dare we let anything go wrong?"
Dragon Cypress: "In the next few decades, I will prioritize replenishing 300,000 troops for Rainbow Island."
Purple Tung: "Great! Once you have replenished 300,000 troops, we’ll come over and broaden our horizons."
Night Fragrance chimed in: "Time is abundant, there’s no rush over these decades."
Linnan Divine Tree solemnly said: "Ant, you still owe me 100,000 Specialized Green Ants, when can you replenish them?"
— Is this true?
— Isn’t that a joke?
"It’s a small matter. I’ll come over and replenish them when I have time."
Dragon Cypress agreed readily, calling out: "Ivy, send over the Dominating Throne, you can evolve into Insect King too."
...
...
Yellow Stem and Wuye arrived upon hearing the news.
After some preparation, Ivy entered the palace that was formerly used as an Ant Nest King Nest to sleep, breaking through to King-Level.
Ink Orchid stood guard outside the door with Pueraria and Wisteria.
Yellow Stem, Spruce, Wuye called over a large group of Barley Bug Warriors to help guard Ivy’s Life Seed.
Dragon Cypress had no tasks and wasn’t in a hurry to leave, he wandered leisurely under Linnan’s Divine-Given Seed tree, a thought crossed his mind, and the Zhen Beast Divine Pattern on his forehead lit up, a tiny azure water drop floated out, rapidly enlarging, and in the blink of an eye transformed into an ant identical in shape and carapace color to Dragon Cypress.
’Zhen Beast Ant’ raised its head slightly, opened its mouth, and a burst of azure mist shot forth.
The breath was like a rainbow, straight into the sky.
"Linnan Divine Tree, what do you think of this Zhen Beast’s ability?"
"Showing off?"
"I’m not a mantis. I’m sincerely seeking advice."
"My insights and understanding are also limited. Zhen Beast is the most powerful Water System Ability I’ve seen, redefining my understanding of Water Element. You and Ink Orchid have reached your current realm, and there’s very little I can advise you on."
Linnan Divine Tree, apart from being quick-tempered and easily angered, had no other faults, and his wisdom was no less than Huagi Divine Tree.
Dragon Cypress considered and spoke slowly in a probing tone:
"I want to evolve the ’Zhen Beast’ even stronger, a qualitative enhancement. But according to the original idea, enhancing the ’Vortex Beast Devouring’ by integrating Thunder System, Wind System, Metal System Abilities, adding Thunder Tentacles, Wind Wings, Metal Claws, is clearly a skin-level enhancement, unable to fundamentally change it."
Linnan Divine Tree pondered for two seconds before understanding Dragon Cypress’s meaning, asking: "Do you intend to integrate bionic abilities from other elemental types? Expanding to be like the Great Ink Orchid, Elemental Seven Systems?"
Dragon Cypress: "Yes, I have considered that..."
Linnan Divine Tree praised: "Ant has a keen sense."
"Indeed, ’Great Ink Orchid’ is Ink Orchid’s self-realization, now only at King-Level, thus relatively inferior to ’Zhen Beast’, but theoretically, its growth potential far exceeds ’Zhen Beast’."
"Zhen Beast comes from the Outworld and is a high-level power. Its manifested strong combat power is more rooted in its super high level. It can be predicted, in the future, entering the Outworld, continuing to evolve upward, it will gradually lose its advantage and become weaker."
Dragon Cypress: "Linnan Divine Tree is right, I have realized this issue, and so, I am contemplating a change."
"I understand—"
Linnan Divine Tree: "At Insect King level, you cannot, through personal understanding, realize the other six elemental types to Zhen Beast’s level, evolution level doesn’t allow it."
"Indeed..."
Dragon Cypress asked: "What about the future? After Scar Realm? Is this path feasible?"
Linnan Divine Tree: "Theoretically feasible."
"Gradual progress. My suggestion is still to use ’Zhen Beast Divine Pattern’ as the core, to combine other six elemental abilities onto the ’Zhen Beast’. Just like painting a colorful picture, a single line, a patch of color, enriching its patterns and colors bit by bit. Achieve the balance of Elemental Seven Systems first, and then attain the freedom of transformation like Great Ink Orchid’s Seven Systems."
"Understood..."
Dragon Cypress nodded with emphasis, moving his tentacle thoughtfully.
Linnan Divine Tree’s recommendations were similar to his own ideas, primarily focusing on bionic abilities, trying to combine as many abilities as possible within the Zhen Beast.
The number of abilities mastered at King-Level was insufficient, and six hundred years in Origin Force Star Realm was also far from enough.
Then, continue after reaching the Outworld,
using hundreds or thousands of abilities, with six thousand years of time, provoking qualitative change from quantitative change.
Linnan Divine Tree paused for a while, then said: "Actually, there’s another simpler path, but Ant you surely wouldn’t choose."
"A single elemental system also possesses infinite evolutionary growth space. Take the Water System for example, currently known, water has five state changes: Ice Frost, Cloud Mist, Living Water, Dead Water, Life, and thus derives infinitely many abilities."
"From my observation, Zhen Beast’s strongest is the life state’s bionic ability, while Ice Frost, Cloud Mist, Living Water are somewhat inferior, and as for Dead Water State, this is your own realization integrated within it, only barely scratched the surface, lacking substantially."
"Indeed, Zhen Beast also has immense potential for enhancement. Ant, you might consider abandoning other elemental systems, focusing on Water System, specializing in the five states changes, pursuing the ultimate power of Water System."
Dragon Cypress did not hesitate, shaking his tentacle negatively.
This path is inaccessible.
In the shattered memory, Zhen walked this very path, ultimately stopping at the evolution stage named ’Overlord’ in Level 3 Civilization, with no potential for advancement.
Dragon Cypress: "Definitely not, the all-element talent that I painstakingly gathered..."
"Moreover, I’m the Ant King; if I do this, I can only cultivate single Water System ants, the adaptive capacity would be too weak."
Linnan Divine Tree foresaw that Dragon Cypress would not give up, calmly said: "I only provided a direction of thought."
Your direction of thought is not worth considering~
Dragon Cypress nodded his tentacle, a thought crossed his mind, and the Zhen Beast in ant form rapidly shrunk, turning into a drop of azure water, flashing into the divine mark and disappearing.
