"Dragon Cypress, how do we handle this?"

"It's already awakened from slumber, but the soul is extremely weak. It must be planted as soon as possible."

"Where should we plant it?"

"Xianglan Mountain is definitely not an option, that would waste the land."

"That's true..."

"I've thought of two places. First, Cold Orchid Mountain. Weren't we planning to hold regular gatherings there in the future, inviting the insects of Cloud Trace Continent? At that time, we could let everyone see and learn about the Divine God-Given Seed."

"That's a great idea—"

"We could also imitate the Zhidun Guoluo Tribe and let the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed manage itself. Maybe, in the future, if any insect on Cloud Trace Continent becomes especially wealthy and is curious to try a Night Fragrance Fruit..."

For a Divine God-Given Seed to bloom and bear fruit, the whole process requires Source Stones to supply Origin Force.

According to detailed records in the Huagi Knowledge Hall on Huagi Mountain, the ability granted by the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed's fruit is barely useful at best, yet the cost is not small—each fruit requires about 300,000 to 500,000 Source Stones.

Who would spend that many Source Stones to buy a Divine-Grade Fruit that's of no use at all?

Ink Orchid doesn't like to joke.

Besides, Dragon Cypress's joke isn't funny either.

Ink Orchid: "What's the second place?"

Dragon Cypress lifted a claw and pointed at the land below, saying, "White Lotus Lake is quite nice. The climate and environment are suitable, it works for most plants, and the key is it's closer to Night Fragrance Mountain. I can make several trips first and bring over the exuviae of the Night Fragrance Tree, dig pits, and bury them underground to serve as nutrients for growth."

"Using its own remains as fertilizer, once the tree heart of the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed is planted, it will grow with much more ease, and the demand for Origin Force can be minimized."

Ink Orchid: "I think planting it at White Lotus Lake is more appropriate."

Ink Orchid: "After planting it, will it need Source Stones to help it grow?"

Dragon Cypress: "It might need them, but we don't have any, so..."

Dragon Cypress waved its tentacles, the meaning clear without words.

Dragon Cypress: "The natural Origin Force concentration at White Lotus Lake is high enough, it'll be fine."

From Yellow Stem, it was learned that after the God-Given Seed transforms into the tree heart form, its Life Level does not fall; once planted, it will grow rapidly and restore to its original tree form. This process requires massive absorption of Origin Force, energy, and nutrients.

It's still unclear, after planting what may be a King-Level Night Fragrance God-Given Seed tree heart, what the demand for Origin Force will be.

Judging by the three Divine Trees on Huagi Mountain, things won't be optimistic.

If the supply of Origin Force can't keep up, at best it will be injured, at worst, it will die.

Ink Orchid suddenly felt soft-hearted, and sighed, "The Night Fragrance Tree is quite pitiful, having accompanied the Zhidun Guoluo Tribe for thousands of years, only to be abandoned in the end... We want to help but are powerless."

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress spread his Mental Power Sensing again, confirming that the tree heart had woken from slumber. When he touched it with spiritual power, there was a response—a wave of spiritual power, seemingly trying to communicate, but too weak to be received.

The healing effect of the Dominating Throne also doesn't seem effective.

The soul of the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed is on the brink of collapse; it must be planted right away.

If delayed longer, it will surely perish.

There's no time to hesitate or consider, and nothing else matters anymore.

"Ink Orchid!"

"We must act urgently."

"Move your claw now, find a suitable spot by the lakeside to plant it, and dig a big pit."

"I've controlled the Dominating Throne flying for two days and two nights. I'm going to sleep for a bit to recover, then head out for Night Fragrance Mountain, to urgently transport a batch of the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed's exuviae here."

Dragon Cypress spoke rapidly, waved its tentacles, and ordered the accompanying ant swarm to return to the nest.

"Alright!"

Ink Orchid agreed briskly, leaped into the air, scanned the terrain from above, chose a site, and started working with a bag made of animal hide.

Dragon Cypress flopped onto the Throne and immediately fell deep asleep.

When he woke, it was already twilight.

He didn't bother greeting Ink Orchid.

He didn't bring the Stump Ant Nest.

The Dominating Throne set out empty, traveling through the night at top speed straight for Night Fragrance Mountain.

Without the burden of the Stump Ant Nest, he could transport fourteen large bags of exuviae of the God-Given Seed in one trip.

If he hurried, a round trip would only take four days—coincidentally, the Dominating Throne produces a batch of Ant Eggs every four days. The Stump Ant Nest would be stationed at White Lotus Lake, and after each trip, handle the ant eggs without delaying the Worker Ant cultivation.

Three trips in a row, piles of shredded wood rose into small mountains.

Meanwhile, Ink Orchid worked extra hours and dug out a pit five meters wide and three meters deep.

Dragon Cypress, leading thirty large Worker Ants, cut the wood into small pieces and mixed it with soil to refill the pit.

At last, the piece of wood wrapping the tree heart from the cave was scraped into powder, mixed with fertile soil, and filled into the pit's center, and the tree heart was planted.

Water was fetched and poured for irrigation.

It was finally all done.

After more than ten days of busyness, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid were utterly exhausted; they hurriedly ate a little raw food and collapsed into deep sleep.

In the depths of sleep, Origin Force fluctuations startled them awake again and again.

Dragon Cypress raised his head.

Ink Orchid spread his wings, ready to flap, but seeing Dragon Cypress awake, slowly drew them back.

At the planting spot of the tree heart, a pale green seedling broke through the soil, facing the morning light, greedily devouring Origin Force.

With the naked eye, the tender white sprout soared upward, pale yellow leaves unfurled, turning greener bit by bit. It was visible and palpable— it kept absorbing the energy of sunlight desperately.

Almost simultaneously, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid leaped off the Dominating Throne and hurried forward for a close look.

Magically, what had been a faint Life Breath, after transforming into the sprout, flourished and strengthened at an astounding speed.

Spiritual power swept downward into the earth.

The strength stored in the tree heart was rapidly transforming into the driving force for the seedling's growth.

The underground roots were also spreading quickly at a noticeable pace, drawing nutrients from the soil.

The wavering Soul Consciousness of the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed migrated from the tree heart into the new main root and fell asleep again.

"Dragon Cypress! Water!"

"Okay!"

Dragon Cypress turned, paused a moment, thought, then dashed to the Stump Ant Nest, unscrewed the large metal can for cooking, then opened another metal can containing Origin Force Ant Honey, scooped some up, and poured the ant honey into the large can.

This was a little trick learned from the Huagi Knowledge Hall of Huagi Mountain: in emergencies, Origin Force Food can be ground into powder and mixed with water for irrigation, used as a substitute for Source Stones to rapidly replenish Origin Force and nutrients for Origin Force Plants—the effect is even better than Source Stones.

Dragon Cypress guessed the result of using Origin Force Ant Honey would be even better than powdered Origin Force Food.

It's just that the cost is a bit higher.

Start with a small amount and test it first.

Dragon Cypress turned, locked vision and spiritual power onto the distant lake's surface, Water Control Ability activated. A sphere of water, about twenty centimeters in diameter, leaped from the lake and floated over, falling into the large metal can.

Dragon Cypress bent down, stirring with his tentacles to dissolve the Origin Force Ant Honey, then held the can with both claws and hurried to the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed, carefully irrigating it.

Spiritual power unfolded, constantly watching the changes in the underground roots.

The effect was immediate: massive capillary roots grew, frantically absorbing water.

Above ground, the new sprout quickly grew into a twenty-centimeter-tall seedling.

The young shoot kept pushing upward bit by bit.

New leaves unfurled one after another.

In just half a morning, the seedling of the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed broke through the half-meter mark, and at the leaf stalk, new buds began to appear, developing into side branches.

By mid-afternoon, the seedling surpassed one meter in height, growing into a small sapling with lush branches and leaves.

The rapid growth came with heavy water consumption.

Dragon Cypress watered with Origin Force Ant Honey solution once more.

By dusk, the sapling exceeded 1.5 meters in height, with its underground root system also reaching over a meter deep—beginning to resemble an arbor.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid lay beside it, watching all day, using spiritual power to scan nonstop, already fatigued and drifting into sleep early.

The next day,

At dawn, just as a bit of light appeared on the eastern skyline, Ink Orchid flapped his wings, waking Dragon Cypress.

"Dragon Cypress, something's changed! Go look right now."

"What changed?"

Dragon Cypress immediately sat up, glanced at the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed: even through the night, it hadn't stopped growing, already reaching two meters high.

He rushed over, spiritual power scanning underground.

The energy accumulated in the tree heart was spent, the wood shattered into chips, entwined by masses of new roots, squeezed for the last traces of nutrients.

Top to bottom, the Night Fragrance God-Given Seed had also stopped its frenzied growth. Its ability to absorb Origin Force had soared—in the half-meter around it, it was forming a miniature Origin Force vacuum.
