Astral Gods

This cherry tree is inconspicuous in the bush; it grows among a cluster of shrubs and is much shaded by some of them.

Normally, you can't even see a cherry tree here. It's only when the cherry blossoms bloom in January and February that the tree full of pure white flowers stands out against the green foliage.

However, what caught the yew's attention was not the tree full of flowers, but the faint fluctuation of primal force emanating from the flowers.

As the Lord of Zehui Mountain once said, some Zerg warriors are very sensitive to Force fluctuations, and they are more likely to find the God-given Seed than other Zerg warriors.

Yew felt that it was quite sensitive to fluctuations in the Force. It could sense which life seed on Purple Ridge had matured, as long as the distance was not too far.

But it had always stayed in Ziling and had never come out to search for the divinely bestowed seed. It didn't know to what extent it was considered to be exceptionally sensitive to the fluctuations of the primal force. Could it be that it was also the kind of insect that the Lord of Zehui Mountain was talking about?

Thinking of this, it immediately flapped its membranous wings and flew straight towards the cherry tree covered with pale white flowers.

The yew tree fluttered up and down in front of the cherry tree, then locked onto a bud that was about to bloom.

At this moment, the flower bud was emitting an extremely slight fluctuation of primal force, which would have been difficult to detect if it hadn't been for its keen senses.

Upon seeing the flower bud, it immediately released its spiritual message with excitement: "Purple locust, purple artemisia, I have found the seed bestowed by the gods!"

"What? You've found the Divine Seed?" Sensing the yew's call, the purple acacia and purple artemisia immediately flew over, their spiritual senses scanning the surroundings: "Where is it? Where is it?"

The yew tree pointed its paw at the cherry tree: "Here, be careful not to knock the buds off."

The two brothers scanned the flower with their spiritual senses, looking at it four or five times before finally noticing the flower emitting a faint fluctuation of primal force.

"Are they red cherries?" The three brothers looked at the flowers on the tree, pondering the enhancing effects of cherries.

Zishan asked somewhat uncertainly, "Is the Red Cherry a metal-type ability enhancement?"

"Yes," Zihuai replied after a moment's thought, "the insectoid warriors in the tribe scattered seeds in the mountains and forests that have enhancement effects that are edible for us rhinoceros beetle warriors."

"This function is very useful to us." After advancing to the Mountain Lord level, the Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Golden Turtle Warriors have a chance to awaken either the Strength-type talent or the Metal-type or Earth-type talent, with more of them awakening the Metal-type talent.

The fruit produced by the Red Cherry can be eaten by most of the Two-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors.

Zi Ai flapped her wings and asked, "What do we do now? Stay here and keep watch?"

"Of course we have to stay here and guard it. This is a divinely bestowed seed, and we cannot afford to be negligent in the slightest."

Zishan instructed, "Zihuai, go back to Ziling and find Lord Zizhu Mountain. Ziai, go to Lord Zili's territory and inform him to invite Xuecao Zuowang to come over and remove all the excess flowers from this tree."

Newly born flowers are too delicate. The rhinoceros beetle warriors are large and clumsy, and they can easily damage the flowers. It is more appropriate for the bee colony to do this.

Zi Ai said with dissatisfaction, "Zishan, why are you ordering me around again?"

Purple Locust tapped Purple Artemisia with its antennae: "Enough nonsense. This divinely bestowed flower was discovered by Purple Yew, and it must guard it."

That makes sense, but Zi Ai still muttered somewhat dejectedly, "When I was the younger brother, I was ordered around by Zi Huai, and now that I'm the older brother, I'm ordered around by Zi Shan. Have I been a brother for nothing?"

From early to mid-February, after searching for more than half a month, they finally made a discovery. The purple locusts were overjoyed and immediately flapped their wings back to Purple Ridge to inform the Purple Pearl Mountain Master of the good news.

Soon, Lord Zizhu Mountain and Lord Zili arrived after receiving the news. When they arrived, a large group of rhinoceros beetle warriors were already there, watching the divinely bestowed flower.

Several mountain lords maintained order here, preventing the rhinoceros tortoise warriors of all sizes from getting too close.

Being closer to Daqing Peak, the warriors of the Qing lineage received the news faster and couldn't wait to come and see.

There are only a handful of these divinely bestowed seeds in the entire tribe, and each one is an incredible treasure to them.

"Make way, everyone, let us in." Lord Zili pushed aside the large and small rhinoceros tortoise warriors and arrived under the cherry tree.

The yew tree was lying obediently under the tree, waiting for Lord Purple Plum to arrive. Upon seeing them, it immediately jumped up happily: "Lord Purple Plum, Lord Purple Pearl Mountain, you've come! Look, I've found a divinely bestowed flower."

"Hmm, Zishan, you did very well." Lord Zili's spiritual senses scanned back and forth on the cherry tree and discovered the divinely bestowed flower.

The primal force fluctuations generated by the God-given Seed during its flowering period are extremely weak. Even if you know its location, you have to scan carefully to find it. It's really lucky that the yew tree was able to see it.

Zishan asked, "Lord Zili, should we ask the bees to come and pluck all the remaining blossoms from the cherry tree?"

Lord Purple Plum said, "In February, when the flowers bloom, King Snow Grass is currently arranging for the bees to collect honey. He will come over as soon as he is done. Don't rush. Cherry trees are small trees, and the nutrients they store are more than enough for the flowers bestowed by the gods to bloom and bear fruit."

"Oh." Hearing this, Zishan felt a little relieved.

"Alright, everyone, you can leave now. It's the blooming season, so go look around. Maybe you'll find a second Divine Seed." Lord Purple Plum waved his tentacles to shoo away the Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors who were watching.

"Yes, our tribe has many insect-free areas. Maybe there's a second divine seed quietly blossoming and bearing fruit somewhere. Everyone, hurry up and go find it."

As one of the few lords of the tribe, Lord Zili's words were very effective. The Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors immediately stopped watching the spectacle and scattered to continue their search for the divine seed.

Looking at the flowers on the tree that were radiating Force energy, Zizhu asked, "I remember that red cherries are used to enhance metal-type abilities, so they're quite valuable, right?"

"It's alright. The annual output of the Mountain Lord level should be around 30,000 to 40,000 raw stones, which is neither high nor low!"

That's not the point. The point is that the red cherries produce a divinely bestowed food that our tribe can digest entirely.

This both increased the variety of divinely-given food available to the tribal warriors and reduced their need to purchase it.

Zizhu clicked her tongue in regret: "I awakened an earth-type talent, so it seems like I can't handle it."

"You have potential in metal-based talents, so you can eat some, but it's unnecessary. The other warriors in the tribe can eat more."

Looking at the flowers on the tree, Zizhu suddenly thought of a question: "Lord Zili, after this divinely bestowed seed matures, who will nurture it as their life-giving seed?"
