Chapter 605 Ancestral Power
Long Bai was successfully promoted to the Insect Queen, and the ordinary plants also began to transition to the king level one after another. This process took about half a year to a year.
…
Long Bai uses five Ghost King Sophora pods every day, gradually increasing the number to ten, fifteen, and up to twenty every day.
early summer,
When Long Bai finished handling all the trivial matters after breaking through the evolution, he finished the entire portion of 3,000 pods.
It's strange, it feels like another level of evolution has reached saturation, just like the evolution of age, and it's lethargic.
After Long Bai made simple preparations, he fell asleep.
Mo Lan stood guard outside the cave.
The force of nature comes from all directions and pours into the cave.
Mo Lan was keenly aware of something strange.
These forces are not the natural forces of Pandan Mountain, but appear out of thin air.
It's not an ordinary force, but a kind of original energy with properties similar to those of the Ghost King Huaizi.
Correspondingly, the auxiliary function of the throne of control to absorb the force has not been activated...
Mo Lan immediately understood what was going on.
The Ghost King Sophora japonica is one of the 55 law-sacred trees that are fixedly born in the natural star world.
This is the law of nature helping to condense the divine patterns.
The stone wall that seals the cave is the condensed earth element ability, and two holes are reserved.
Mo Lan couldn't restrain her curiosity and looked through the hole.
The entire cave has been rendered crimson by the original energy, and a giant brown-red original energy light cocoon can be vaguely seen, enveloping the ruling throne together with it.
The soul-fixing ability sensed that Long Bai's soul was in a deep dormant state.
A similar scene to what Hearts described.
Similar to a small instar evolution, it takes three to five days to wake up.
Mo Lan An Anxin stood guard at the entrance of the cave.
Three days later, the special energy that was pouring in from all directions suddenly disappeared.
The raw energy gathered in the cave shrinks rapidly.
Mo Lan looked through the hole, and saw that the brown-red cocoon of raw energy surrounding Long Bai and the throne of control was slowly shrinking.
After a while, Long Bai's figure was revealed.
…
Wake up from deep sleep.
Long Bai quickly shed his carapace, and on the new carapace, dense dark red original energy lines flickered.
In a trance, he returned to the scene when the senior warrior broke through and was promoted to Mountain Master, and his body size expanded rapidly.
The new membrane wings slowly unfolded.
The head keeps getting bigger.
The tentacles continue to grow thicker.
The six legs are stretching and enlarging, and fine hooks sprout from the shins of the hind feet.
The chest and abdomen are also expanding and elongating.
This change is very rapid, and while the new carapace is hardening, the body is finally taking shape.
Mo Lan lay down at the entrance of the cave and watched the whole process through the hole. When she saw that the shell was shed, she broke through the blocked rocks and looked around.
"Long Bai?"
Long Bai: "..."
Mo Lan: "The throne of rulership cannot accommodate you?"
Long Bai: "..."
The body length of the dragon cypress is fixed at about 5 meters, and it is thick and majestic. Using the God-given silver cypress seeds, it was finally possible to optimize the slimmed-down abdomen and gain weight again.
Overall, the body size has more than doubled.
The diameter of the ruling throne is just over 4 meters.
A large part of Long Bai's body was hanging outside.
Long Bai suddenly felt something, and tried to communicate with the throne, his tentacles raised high, and he was ecstatic.
Under the control of his mind, the ruling throne was enlarged sharply and fixed at a diameter of about 5.6 meters, which was just right enough to accommodate the dragon cypress relatively comfortably.
Mo Lan rushed in and asked in surprise: "Is the throne of rulership able to change its size at will? Or does its size grow with your body size..."
Long Bai: "As my size grows, the limit can only be so big."
Mo Lan: "That's not bad!"
Apart from anything else, if we can transport rough stones in the future, it will definitely be no problem to transport 100,000 yuan per trip, and we can even carry more.
Long Bai raised his head slightly, and his head almost hit the top of the cave.
"I have to expand the royal nest when I have time..."
Long Bai muttered and jumped off the throne.
As soon as the thought occurred, two blue and white 'refined beads' with a diameter of 10 centimeters that were stored on the throne flew up and fell into the mouth one after another.
The majestic energy and nutrients spread throughout the body along with the blood, and the weakness of sleeping evolution quickly subsided.
"Long Bai, how are you?"
"It feels very good! It couldn't be better! It's exactly as described. The strength, speed, carapace strength, touch and smell perception capabilities, and the vital upper limit of the body's reserve energy are comprehensively doubled and strengthened!"
"Where are the divine patterns of law? Show me!"
"The divine power of the ancestors is a passive, permanently strengthened ability. Correspondingly, the divine patterns are all over the body. They are invisible divine patterns and cannot be actively displayed. However, I can feel their existence and also sense that if I want, I can do it at any time. Eat force food, shed your shell and evolve into a second-instar insect king."
"oh--"
Mo Lan: "When you shed your shell just now, I saw dark red original energy lines on your carapace. Is that it?"
Long Bai: "Yes! After the carapace hardened, the divine patterns penetrated into the body and merged into the flesh and blood."
Mo Lan: "Then, let's... test it?"
Long Bai: "What to test?"
Mo Lan tilted her head and thought. There were too many things that could be tested for this kind of all-round physical enhancement, but they were all improvements that could be imagined, and there were no novel changes.
Mo Lan: "What about the ant eggs? Will the size of the cultivated ant colony increase accordingly? Will there also be a comprehensive qualitative improvement? This is very important!"
Long Bai solemnly moved his tentacles, "The size has increased dramatically and the consumption is huge. I will recover first. Arrange for Yin Bai to hunt some fresh food and come back..."
Mo Lan chased and asked, "Where is Wang Baizi? The ice cellar has been stored for many years. Will it get damaged?"
Long Bai: "I'll do it as soon as possible..."
…
If the ancestral divine power can be passed down to the ant colony, then there is no doubt that this ability will be the greatest improvement to the power-based ants fighting in close combat.
After Long Bai recovered, he first activated the messenger function of the throne to cultivate a group of strength-type soldier ants and worker ants.
Nowadays, the most widely used blue soldiers, blue ants, green soldiers, and green ants are cultivated in batches in sequence.
The air soldiers and flying ants of the wind system are named Lei Bing, the soldier ants of the earth system are named stone soldiers, and the worker ants of the earth system are named mountain ants...
You can try to cultivate a batch of these first and test them in practice.
…
Long Bai lived in Xianglan Mountain for a long time, eating, drinking, recuperating, and doing basic physical exercises such as running, climbing, flying, etc., to quickly adapt to his expanding body and increased strength.
Ten days later,
The first batch of 16 soldier ant eggs hatched.
Pheromones stimulate differentiation, and there are 4 specialized soldier ants, 3 each of large, medium, small and micro soldier ants.
Three more days later,
Clues can be seen through larval development.
This batch of larvae are particularly edible and develop quickly.
Especially the larvae that have differentiated from specialized soldier ants can grow to a length of about 5 centimeters in just three days, and are white and fat.
Continuing to observe, the same is true for the strength-type worker ants.
Continuing to observe, the water-type blue soldier larvae are also very edible and develop very quickly.
At this point, it can be basically concluded that the ‘ancestral power’ can be passed down to all types of ants.
…
…
Midsummer with the chirping of cicadas.
After a month of rest and exercise, Long Bai's body reached its peak condition.
The expanded royal nest.
Long Bai stood on the throne of control, with his tentacles hooked, he took out Wang Baizi, which had been stored for five years.
The left front foot, tentacles, and both jaws are used together to press the fruit firmly, and the sharp power and wind energy are gathered on the right front foot, cutting bit by bit.
Make a circle and break the hard shell.
Inside is a juniper seed with a diameter of about 12 centimeters, and a shiny brown seed coat, with snowflake-like silver-white Force lines distributed on the surface...
The mental power scanned the induction, and the seed coat was very thin, less than a millimeter thick. Looking further inside, the mental power seemed to be involved in the ocean of original energy, which was boundless and bottomless.
——If you eat this one bite, won’t the worms burst?
Long Bai was in trouble for two seconds, and soon came up with a solution. He raised his paw, gently made a small cut on the seed coat with his toe tips, opened his mouth, and swallowed the whole seed into his belly.
The docile raw power seemed to have found an outlet like a high-pressure stream of water. It spurted outward from the opening of the seed, and was quickly absorbed. It spread throughout the body along with the flowing blood, and penetrated deep into the muscles and internal organs.
The hard seed coat is slowly corroded by gastric juice, and the breach gradually cracks and expands. The digested acid contacts the internal seeds, and the majestic energy is released explosively.
After the original energy bursts out, it does not explode all at once, but gathers together, skips the absorption link, slowly penetrates into the body, slowly merges with the body, transforms, and strengthens...
Long Bai's consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell into a deep sleep at some point...
…
Outside the king's nest,
Ink orchid, fragrant cypress, giant cypress, silver cypress, green cypress, and black locust waited patiently for a day.
There has been no movement.
Yinbai couldn't help it at first.
There are two observation holes reserved in the earth and stone wall blocking the entrance of the cave.
Molan stood at the entrance of the cave.
"The second king..."
Yinbai raised his paw and pointed, suggesting: "Take a look?"
"What are you looking at? Go away!"
Mo Lan scolded sternly, hesitated, waved his tentacles, turned around, and looked at the situation.
On the ruling throne, Long Bai was sleeping, and no other changes could be seen on his body.
Based on the soul-fixing ability induction and soul fluctuation judgment, Long Bai was in a state of light sleep at this time, which was similar to the state of daily sleep and rest, which was completely different from the deep sleep evolution.
Mo Lan: "Yinbai, please be quiet! The king should still be absorbing Wang Baizi's force energy at this time. Don't disturb it by making noises."
Yinbai: "Oh——"
The insects waited patiently.
Another day later, there was still no movement in the cave.
Yin Bai urged, and Mo Lan checked again.
Long Bai is still in a light sleep state.
Wait quietly.
Two more days passed and there was still no movement or change.
The King's current situation should take a long time to complete the absorption of massive amounts of raw energy...
I haven't heard that there is any danger in using the fruit of the Law God Tree...
I haven't even heard of the issue of success probability...
Everyone is waiting, just to watch the excitement and gain knowledge.
There has been no movement, and I have no patience to wait any longer.
Cui Bai led the team to Zizhu Mountain to collect the food caught by the blue soldiers from the ocean.
Jubai returns to Shanxi Reservoir to alert.
The cypress, black locust and dragon cypress plants need to be taken care of. If there is a drought in summer, they need to be irrigated in time and add raw stones to replenish their original strength.
Mo Lan and Yin Bai guarded outside the king's nest.
Ten days later...
Many orchid grass pods are ripe on the mountain, and Mo Lan is also busy picking up his orchid grass.
Yinbai stood alone outside the cave.
finally,
On the 24th day of his deep sleep, Long Bai suddenly woke up, opened his mouth, and swallowed the two 'refining beads' he had prepared in advance to replenish his physical energy in an emergency.
"King?"
Yinbai called excitedly and doubtfully, smashed the earth and rocks blocking the cave entrance with one claw, rushed into the cave quickly, straightened up, put his front feet on the edge of the throne, and observed closely.
No change~
"King?"
"Where is the divine pattern of law?"
"Adaptation to evolution?"
"Aren't you going to shed your shell?"
Yinbai asked questions one after another.
"madness!"
Long Bai was angry, and his groggy brain was sobered up by the anger, and he said angrily: "It hasn't started yet! It's about to start now. Get out! Stay on guard!"
"Forehead……"
"Your Majesty, please continue..."
Yinbai turned around and rushed out of the cave.
Long Bai: "..."
As soon as Long Bai thought, earth and rocks flew up, he blocked the entrance of the cave again, buried his head, drooped his tentacles, and fell asleep again.
what's the situation? Yinbai, with his head full of questions, stood outside the cave and looked through the hole. After watching for a while, he became worried and turned around and ran out of the cave.
…
"Second King!"
"Long Bai is awake?"
"Just now, the king suddenly woke up, but then fell asleep again."
"???"
Mo Lan activated her soul-fixing ability, carefully sensed it, thought about it, and explained:
"Long Bai was in a light sleep before, absorbing and digesting Wang Baizi's original energy. It should have finished absorbing it just now and woke up in the middle. Now it has entered a deep sleep, and it must be condensing the divine patterns of law."
When Yinbai heard this, he suddenly understood, felt relieved, and praised: "The two kings are still the smartest!"
Mo Lan greeted: "Go back to the nest!"
Just halfway through, there were waves of force fluctuations coming from the depths of the ant nest.
Mo Lan and Yin Bai stopped at the same time.
Mo Lan's figure flickered and disappeared.
"..."
Yinbai was stunned and ran to catch up.
The force fluctuations became more and more violent, forming a force vacuum that expanded rapidly. In the ant nest, the ants fled in panic.
Mo Lan, who had just rushed into the ant nest, retreated again, calling Yin Bai to retreat quickly.
Notice the movement,
Giant cypresses, green cypresses, fragrant cypresses, and black locust trees came one after another.
The spiritual power of azure, nanqian, and black and yellow followed.
--what happened?
——What happened to the ants?
——What is Long Bai doing?
——Why are there such violent fluctuations in the force?
——The last time I used Ghost King Huaizi, there was no movement, right?
——Mo Lan, didn’t you say that it was another law of origin that appeared out of thin air to assist in condensing divine patterns?
--What's happening here?
Full of questions.
Mo Lan was also confused.
The last time I used Ghost King Huaizi to condense the divine power of my ancestors, it did not absorb the natural force.
This time it's...
Black Sophora japonica was the first to react and exclaimed: "The King Cypress is a divine tree of laws, but it is not one of the 55 divine trees that are inevitably born in the natural star world. It is born randomly!"
——This is the only explanation!
All the insects suddenly realized.
The azure blue, nanqiang, black and yellow are also understood clearly.
The randomly born Law Divine Tree, without the help of the Star Boundary Law, the condensed Law Divine Pattern can only absorb massive amounts of force.
But,
When the king cypress was still a flower, it was clearly the second time when the magical power of the law descended and stimulated its birth.
Why is it not among the 55 sacred trees?
Why is it born randomly?
What precautions should be taken when using the fruits produced by the randomly born Law God Tree?
No one had ever thought before that Da Wang Bai would be born randomly...
Nan Qian asked quietly: "Want to waste rough stones again?"
--yes!
——Prepare the rough stones!
Mo Lan shouted: "Cedar! Black locust! Quick! Take two teams of worker ants to the treasure house and move out the rough stones!"
"Silver cypress, giant cypress, green cypress, don't be stupid, you guys should help too!"
The ants began to take action.
In the spring trade, the entire 5 million rough stones sent by the Flame Spider Caravan were left in Fanglan Mountain.
There are more than 1 million left in Breakthrough Evolution.
Collect 6 million.
Shannan and Shanbei each arranged 3 million and quickly moved them into place.
But soon, everyone discovered that the force vacuum range was stable at a radius of about 200 meters.
The natural force of Xianglan Mountain can just supply it.
Keep observing.
The rate of absorbing the Force is always stable, and the vacuum range of the Force is stable.
Wait with peace of mind.
One day, two days, three days...
After eleven full days, the fluctuations in the Force finally subsided.
Mo Lan's body swayed, turned into a shadow, and rushed into the ant nest first.
The ants flew to follow.
…
Wake up from deep sleep.
Long Bai took a deep breath and checked carefully. There were no signs of shedding like Ghost King Huaizi.
He was running low on physical energy, presumably because he spent a lot of time sleeping this time.
Looking around, he found that the two refining beads originally prepared on the throne had been eaten when he woke up last time, and there was no other food prepared in the cave.
--how so?
——They are both Law God Trees, but the difference between Ghost King Huaizi and Wang Baizi is so big.
——Wang Baizi obviously put in too much effort.
Long Bai murmured, concentrating on the feeling, looking at himself, his eyes brightened, and he was overjoyed.
With a roar, the earth and stone wall blocking the cave was knocked open, and Mo Lan rushed in.
"Long Bai?"
"..."
"Success?"
"certainly."
"Where is the law pattern? Can it be revealed?"
Long Bai didn't say much. As soon as he thought about it, a silvery white snowflake-shaped original energy mark appeared on his back armor.
"This is the divine mark of law given by Wang Baizi, which corresponds to the ability to 'adapt to evolution'."
"How specific? What is this ability like?"
"It's beyond expectation! The scope of adaptive evolution is almost infinite, and it can be interpreted as absolute adaptation..."
Long Bai paused and looked at the entrance of the cave.
Emerald cypresses, silver cypresses, giant cypresses, fragrant cypresses, and black locust trees all rushed over, scrambling to squeeze into the cave.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, you are finally awake!"
"The king is mighty!"
"Your Majesty, the Divine Pattern of Laws?"
"What a beautiful original mark!"
"Where is your ability? Your Majesty, show us quickly!"
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai considered his words and briefly explained: "Adaptive evolution can be divided into three forms. The first is that the external environment is not suitable for survival. Under environmental stimulation, people tend to passively shed their shells and evolve once to adapt to the environment; the second is that they are autonomous. In a controllable manner, through the control of the soul and will, the shell evolves once and the body structure is adjusted to change in the ideal direction; the third type is to encounter life-threatening and harsh external environmental stimulation, which requires the body to dissolve in the form of 'cocoon transformation' Reorganize, emerge and be reborn, and respond with a new attitude.”
Long Bai thought for a while and added: "This is absolutely adaptive evolution! I also feel that it is not necessary to enter an uncomfortable environment to stimulate evolution. You can also collect information, understand the unfamiliar environment, and consciously control your abilities to stimulate them. , adapting to evolution.”
Long Bai: "For example, go all the way north to the icy land of the Far North. The Second King and I went there when we were young. There is information in my brain about the land of the Far North and I understand how cold it is there. So, I'm in Pandan Mountain, and I can consciously control evolution right now, so that my body can evolve to adapt to that extreme cold environment. There's no need to be there."
"!!!"
The insects' tentacles stood vertically, stunned:
——So strong!
——This ability is too strong, right?
——But, Your Majesty, how come I don’t understand very well?
Long Bai: "For another example, if I need to fly in the air, I can consciously control it, imitate the body structure of my close relatives, bees, change my body shape, and evolve to become better at flying."
"For another example, if I need to survive in the ocean for a long time... But I can't think of any ideal marine Zerg that I can imitate. With my understanding and knowledge, I can't think of how to optimize my body shape. So, I You can enter the ocean and live for a period of time, and your adaptive evolution ability will be passively triggered, you can optimize and adjust yourself, and evolve a body shape that is most suitable for survival in the ocean."
Long Bai: "Different environments require different forms. After adapting to evolution once, these environmental information will be engraved in the blood. Next time we encounter it, we can quickly make adjustments. Or, I know that I need to change from one environment Entering another environment, I can also consciously activate my abilities and make adjustments in advance."
"..."
The ants flicked their tentacles to show they understood.
Yinbai raised his paw and suggested: "Your Majesty, since the explanation is not clear, you might as well demonstrate it to us."
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai: "Yin Bai, go hunt for more food and come back. I'll recover first."
Yinbai: "...Okay."
Mo Lan tilted her head and thought, and asked: "Long Bai, you haven't realized it yet, have you? Our King Cypress is not one of the 55 law-sacred trees that are bound to be born in the natural star world."
Long Bai: "???"
Mo Lan: "Dawang Bai was born randomly! You were sleeping to condense the divine patterns of law. Without the help of the original energy of law, you absorbed the natural force and condensed the adaptive evolutionary divine patterns. Therefore, it took you twelve days to complete this time."
Long Bai: "!!!"
Long Bai: "No wonder! I felt something was wrong when I woke up!"
Long Bai: "How is this possible?"
