Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 981 - 681: The Grand Gathering Held Every Thirty Years (Part 2)

Eight gates, each gate corresponding to 20 seats.

Only 150 seats were released to the public, with ten more unnumbered slots at Gate Eight.

These ten positions are arranged by negotiations between the Great Leader and the Leaders, considered as granted privileges, but with conditions; each time it opens, the Great Leader and Leaders must gather 200 million Source Stones as a reserve.

If during one opening of the scepter, the number of insects who comprehend the Sea Beast Devouring and Kirin Beast abilities is large, and Primordial Energy is insufficient, there will be a need for emergency recovery using Source Stones to ensure nothing goes wrong.

A wall with a width of six meters and a height of twenty meters is to be built 400 meters from the Ocean God’s Scepter.

Insects coming to watch are permitted to climb up the wall, observe from above, but are not allowed to cross the wall, so as not to disturb the insects comprehending abilities inside and outside the circle.

Insects gather in a sea, yet in perfect order.

"Behind!"

"Look quickly, behind!"

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress is here!"

"What is that? Centipede? Zhen Beast?"

"Zhen Beast! I heard Zhen Beasts can change forms at will!"

"I understand! Centipedes have many legs and walk steadily, so it changed into the centipede form."

The Zhen Beast transformed into an Ice Centipede, winding its way, carrying Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, Black Birch, Black Sophora, Rainbow Parasol Tree, Rainbow Tea, and White Willow closer.

The insects on the wall were in uproar.

"Mantis King Ink Orchid!"

"Mantis King Ink Orchid is here!"

Purple, Green Heart, Color Steel, Yellow Thorn, Yellow Leaf, Yellow Heart, a large group of insects known or unknown, ran out to welcome, chatted enthusiastically, asking about this and that.

Ink Orchid ran everywhere, mingling quickly with many familiar insects of various kinds.

Dragon Cypress retracted the Zhen Beast, led the Assistant King and White Willow across the gate to the arena.

Another swarm of insects such as Dark Maple Dragonfly King, Mountain Pepper Ant King, and others rushed to greet.

Currently, the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom consists of seven leaders, and twenty-seven deputy leaders.

As per agreement, Zhibai Continent occupies two leader positions, ten deputy leader positions.

The newly added two leader positions are, of course, held by Butterfly King Nupur and Reaper Leaf Insect King.

Regarding the ten blank seats...

After a simple negotiation among the insects,

Dragon Cypress arranged Black Birch, Black Sophora, Rainbow Parasol Tree, Rainbow Tea, and White Willow to enter through Gate Eight and settle in each blank square.

Waiting for two days,

All warriors arrived.

Dawn.

With Dragon Cypress as the leader, accompanied by seven leaders, they ascended the steps, reached beneath the Ocean God’s Scepter.

They stood around the eight sides of the scepter.

Simultaneously activated the Sea Soul Ability, communicating through mind.

Blue primordial energy, like flowing water, emerged, spreading to cover the entire venue.

In the field, warriors buried their heads, beginning attempts to comprehend the Sea Soul and Tsunami abilities.

Dragon Cypress led the seven leaders to exit.

The last time the Ocean God’s Scepter opened, there were still 141 warriors who had not comprehended the Kirin Beast or Sea Beast Devouring abilities.

They still had one more opportunity,

divided into 7 groups, each group consisting of 20, entered the inner layer close to the scepter to attempt again.

If still unable to trigger the Kirin Beast or Sea Beast pattern, it would be hopeless.

Of course, over these thirty years, there were also insects who, through thirty years of hard practice, made substantial progress in Water System Ability, successfully triggering Sea Beast patterns.

It took half the morning to complete a turn.

Four warriors from the Insect Clan successfully comprehended the Sea Beast Devouring ability.

No insect comprehended the Kirin Beast ability.

At nightfall,

The outer layer saw insects progressively completing comprehension of the Sea Soul and Tsunami abilities, moving to the inner layer to attempt communication, decisively exiting if unable to trigger Kirin Beast patterns, planning to return next time the scepter opens, thirty years later.

By midnight, all insects in the outer layer had tried once.

Still, none could trigger the Kirin Beast pattern.

This also meant, during this scepter opening, the primordial energy consumption was minimal...

The next day,

At midday, the four warriors who comprehended the Sea Beast Devouring ability, with the last one awakening from slumber, departed.

Butterfly King Nupur flapped wings to fly, gently landed atop the steps, touched the scepter with tentacles, communicated perceptively, flew back to the wall, saying gravely:

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress, leaders, within the scepter, there is nearly one-third of primordial energy remaining. How to handle this?"

All gazes pointed towards Dragon Cypress.

Dragon Cypress: "This time is an exception, the next time the Ocean God’s Scepter opens, with clan warriors consuming the Sea God Fruit joining, excess primordial energy is unlikely."

Dragon Cypress: "Waste is regrettable. Here’s a solution, organize the Caravan, and release another 50 temporary usage slots. This slot can only be used once. Next time the scepter opens, it won’t qualify for usage."

"Valued in Source Stone spot pricing, the income Source Stones are stored at Molan Mountain, reserved for future emergency use when the scepter opens."

"Leaders, what do you think?"

Dark Maple Dragonfly King: "Agreed."

Mountain Pepper Ant King: "Good idea..."

The seven leaders each promised.

Nearby stood Snow Velvet Spider King immediately asked: "The price?"

Dragon Cypress asked: "Is there any kingdom or tribe selling Sea God Trust Scrolls? How many Source Stones per scroll?"

Snow Velvet Spider King: "...None."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Estimated at 20 million per scroll, reasonable pricing calculated by everyone."

The Sea Soul and Tsunami abilities are valued at ten million.

The Sea Beast Devouring ability valued at 100 million, with a one-fifteenth chance, valued at about 6-7 million, plus the faint sliver of possibility to comprehend the supreme Kirin Beast, valued at ten million, is no problem.

Altogether, 20 million.

Dragon Cypress: "Then 20 million per scroll. Source Stone spot pricing. Let’s see if any insects are willing to purchase."

The Flame Spider Tribe came to watch, gathered around four or five hundred Spider Kings.

As soon as Snow Velvet Spider King spoke, fifty Spider Kings quickly gathered.

Emergency entry for comprehension.

Three spiders truly succeeded in comprehending the Sea Beast Devouring.
