Chapter 1389 - 810: Melde Arrives

Azure Star System.

The Artist carried Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, Fragrant Cypress, and Ghost Fan, then used Spatial Teleportation to dock at the North 1001 District Plaza on Stone Orchid Star.

Giant Cypress was sitting in town on Stone Orchid Star, fully in charge of all affairs in the Azure Star System.

Not far away, at the Ant Nest, a Specialized Air Soldier standing watch on the hilltop spotted Dragon Cypress.

—The Great King is here!

Pheromones spread through the forest, the news passing layer by layer.

Giant Cypress, who was patrolling the nearby mountains and forests, received the message and rushed over with Spatial Teleportation.

In the forest, Black Cory, who was currently directing the ant colonies at work, also received the news and followed closely.

"Great King!"

"Second King!"

"Fragrant Cypress, you came too!"

"Where is Chairman Blackberry? Weren't you coming on Chairman Blackberry's Star Spider?"

"Great King, how was the haul from Red Qu Star?"

...

Dragon Cypress directly activated the Heart Realm of Tree Blossom, writing the relevant information into the Soul Consciousness of Giant Cypress and Black Cory.

"Wow!"

"A Leader-Level Starship! Ours!"

"2.6 trillion in profit?"

"Great King, mighty!"

"We'll owe the money for purchasing the Leader-Level Starship first?"

"Great King, awesome! That's equivalent to shifting this 500 billion for now, first lending it to the Wave Tree Bay Chamber of Commerce for development. Later, Wave Tree Bay Chamber of Commerce will return Primordial Gemstones, which will be sold at a discount to Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, and then used to repay the Primordial Crystals spent on buying the Leader-Level Starship."

"Great King, then we can rent another Origin Star System, right?"

"Great King, wise!"

Giant Cypress and Black Cory were wild with joy.

"We'll talk about that later~"

Dragon Cypress casually waved his claw and issued the order:

"Ink Orchid, Ghost Fan, go notify everyone: all warriors gather by the lakeside for a banquet to celebrate, and at the same time we'll hold an important meeting. The Chamber of Commerce has new rules to announce, and there are major changes to the operation and management of the Azure Star System."

"We'll follow the Great Leader's command~"

"I'll take charge of Hulan, Xuelan, and Banlan, those three stars; Ghost Fan, you'll be responsible for Stone Orchid, Cold Orchid, and Cicada Orchid, those three stars."

Ink Orchid made a simple arrangement, leaped into the air, released the Radiant Throne, and flashed straight into the skyline.

"I'm heading out first."

Ghost Fan then activated his Ability and vanished.

Dragon Cypress swept past with his Soul-Setting Ability and asked, "Giant Cypress, Black Cory, calculate the time. Here in the Azure Star System, the earliest batches of various Specialized Ants should be successively entering their aging stage, right?"

Giant Cypress replied, "Yes, Great King."

Black Cory's mood instantly sank, and he lamented, "We've arranged for these ants to enter the Ant Nest to rest and retire. Great King, they will, over the next ten thousand years, gradually die of old age."

"..."

"We won't replenish the ant colonies here in the Azure Star System. That will be fully handed over to the Second King, entirely operated by Insect Clan Warriors."

Dragon Cypress said, "I'm planning to use the gains from this treasure hunt, through Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, to lease another Origin Point, a long-term rental of fifty thousand or a hundred thousand years. It will count as private property for me and Ink Orchid, and we'll send the Assistant King over to manage it."

"Giant Cypress will return to Xianglan Mountain to sit in town; Black Cory, you can also return to Xianglan Mountain to rest and focus on comprehending Primordial Energy Power, breaking through to the Planet Realm as soon as possible. All Assistant Kings will, one after another, withdraw in an orderly fashion..."

Dragon Cypress briefly outlined his plan, then called out, "Fragrant Cypress has only been to the Azure Star System once, right? Come on, let's walk around and take a look."

…

On a large scale, orchards were cultivated and Forest Seas built. In the course of operation, 'Pest Beasts', 'Pest Birds', and 'Pest Insects' that harmed or damaged plants were exterminated; the natural ecological balance was destroyed, and with the added activity of ant colonies and bee colonies, the number of Insect Clan Warriors born on the planet sharply declined.

With a cycle of six hundred years, at its peak, each cycle could give birth to more than 200 Little Warriors.

Developed to the present, in a six-hundred-year cycle they don't even get 100 Little Warriors.

In contrast, the proportion of harvested top-level, Dual Superior, and high-quality Divine-Given Seeds has greatly increased.

A natural iron law that cannot be broken: Little Warriors and Divine-Given Seeds cannot be obtained at the same time.

…

Currently, there are more than four thousand Insect Clan Warriors working in the Azure Star System.

It took a full day to summon them all.

Ink Orchid forged 500 gold-plated cauldrons and opened up a broad dirt plaza by the lakeside to lay them out.

Each Insect got one jar of Bee King Honey worth ten thousand Primordial Crystals.

A bustling, boisterous celebration banquet.

Ink Orchid announced the adjustment plan for how to obtain contribution Points in the Chamber of Commerce.

Some Insects cheered.

Some Insects were puzzled.

Information about Red Qu Star and the Natural True God certainly could not be publicly spoken.

They could only subtly inform everyone that the Universe is not peaceful, and the Chamber of Commerce has decided to promote combat-type warriors early, to prepare for possible wars the future cosmic expansion may face.

"From here on, Ink Orchid will coordinate the management of all affairs in the Azure Star System, and only Insect Clan Warriors will remain here to operate it."

"On the six Life Planets, each planet will have three Star Lords."

"Mountain Persimmon, Areca, Mulberry, you will serve as Star Lords of Stone Orchid Star."

"Tie Bush, Greenstone, Tree Aralia, you will serve as Star Lords of Cold Orchid Star."

"Ghost Fan, Woodberry, Triarrhena, you will serve as Star Lords of Cicada Orchid Star."

"Pueraria, Starry Cloud Cypress, Scaly Oak, you will serve as Star Lords of Hulan Star."

"Black Rice, Blue Catalpa, Crimson Alnus, you will serve as Star Lords of Xuelan Star."

"Red Moonseed, Chinese Clematis, Purple Three Leaf, you will serve as Star Lords of Banlan Star."

"With a six-hundred-year cycle, the three Star Lords will take turns. At any one time, each planet must have two Star Lords respectively in charge of Northern Hemisphere and southern hemisphere affairs; the remaining Star Lord may return to Xianglan Mountain for vacation."

"Ink Orchid Leader and I plan to lease a Zero Level Origin Point as Private Bugs to operate it. Led by Giant Cypress, all my Assistant Kings will withdraw. Nebula Kumquat, you Bee Kings and Ant Kings must also stop increasing ant and bee colonies and make preparations for migration and transfer."

"In the future, we Insect Clan Warriors will operate one Origin Star System, and the Bee Kings and Ant Kings will operate one Origin Star System."

Dragon Cypress announced the upcoming plan and the general arrangement of Insect Workers.

If there are no other Red Qu Star-style windfall gains, then for at least the next fifty thousand years, Xianglan Mountain Commerce Guild will only be operating and developing on two Origin Point Planets.
