Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 569 - 547 Saint Butterfly_2

Dragon Cypress finished speaking, then added, "Purple, your information is indeed important. Tell me everything in detail, and I promise to spare your life."

To show his sincerity, Dragon Cypress waved his claw, signaling for Ink Orchid to take three steps back.

Purple spoke rapidly, "The Divine-Grade Fruit that grants Wind Elemental Talent came from the mutated evolution of a Claw Wing Vine!"

Dragon Cypress: "That's nonsense. How many Insects on the continent don't know about that?"

Purple retorted weakly, "Most Insects probably don't know...?"

Ink Orchid stepped forward a pace.

Dragon Cypress: "Get to the point, information that really concerns the safety of Blue Island."

Purple: "There is! There is! The One Fruit Bee Queen also knows—the Ocean God's Scepter is a God-Level Creation with overwhelming offensive power, it can control seawater, stirring up tsunamis and giant waves, but..."

Purple: "The One Fruit Bee Queen only said she had thought of a way to deal with it, but didn't specify what kind of method it was."

Under Soul-Setting Ability perception, she was not lying.

Dragon Cypress pressed on: "What else?"

Purple: "On Zhibai Continent, of the Saint Butterfly Tribe, ten Butterfly Kings will join in this war. In battle, the Butterfly Kings will deal with the most formidable Ant Kings of the Blue Ant Kingdom, and try to gain control of the Ocean God's Scepter. Once successful, the Ocean God's Scepter and all wild Divine-Given Seeds on the island will be held by the Butterfly Kings of the Saint Butterfly Tribe."

Saint Butterfly?

Saint Butterflies live on Zhibai Continent?!

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid didn't have to search through Inherited Memory; just a little thought and it came to mind, leaving them stunned.

In the Origin Force Star Realm, ninety-nine percent of Insect Clan Warriors break through to the Mountain Lord Level and can only awaken a single system's talent.

This is a law-imposed limitation.

But there are a rare few tribes that can awaken two systems—always Life System or Strength System, plus one Elemental System. For example, the White Poplar Ant King and Red Phellodendron Ant Queen of the former Purple Tung Insect Nation—they had a Life System plus Earth System; another example, the Leafcutter Ant Tribe, they're the Ant Clan's Strength System, with an added Elemental System; and again, on Blue Island, the Stone Hunt Blue Ants have Strength System and Water System.

It's always Strength System or Life System, plus one Elemental System; it's impossible to awaken two Elemental Systems simultaneously.

But this Saint Butterfly Tribe is different; they awaken the Life System, plus Hydro-Gold Dual System—two Elemental Systems; they awaken three systems of talent.

In the Natural God System, this is unique.

The Saint Butterfly Tribe is the only race truly favored by the Natural True God, and they possess an even more heaven-defying Talent Ability: Feather Transformation Rebirth.

Unlike Ink Orchid's Evolution Lord, who self-realized that chicken-rib 'Feather Transformation' ability.

The Saint Butterfly Tribe's 'Feather Transformation Rebirth' really can return to life after death.

Before heading to battle, a Saint Butterfly Warrior can leave an invisible 'Insect Cocoon' on its own Life Seed Plant. Once killed in battle, with the Soul Bond connecting the warrior and the Life Seed, the soul returns home, the cocoon on the Life Seed Plant becomes visible, the plant expends energy to nurture the cocoon, accelerating its growth, and the dead Saint Butterfly Warrior undergoes Feather Transformation and is reborn.

Every Life Seed Plant can now carry one 'Insect Cocoon', granting a quick rebirth after death.

And the price for this ability is merely that the Life Seed Plant becomes severely overdrawn, needing to rest from blooming and fruiting, and must spend time recovering.

In other words, unless you invade deep within the Saint Butterfly Tribe and destroy their Life Seed Plants, you can't truly kill even a single member of their Undead Insect Clan.

Dragon Cypress asked gravely, "The Saint Butterfly Tribe's participation in the war, was it the Flame Spider Roving Merchants pulling strings behind the scenes?"

Purple: "I don't know either... The Flame Spider Roving Merchants claim to be absolutely neutral and can't get involved in continental conflicts, but actually... well, everyone knows how that goes."

Purple: "Yellow Stem Ant King, that's all I know."

"Mm——"

"Very good!"

Dragon Cypress asked with concern, "Purple, you awakened Water System Talent, so I'm sure you know how to swim, right?"

Purple was shocked, "I don't! I can't! How could a butterfly swim!"

Dragon Cypress: "You can."

Purple insisted, "I can't! I really can't!"

Dragon Cypress: "Bayonet, take its wings off and let it swim back to Fire Wheel Island."

Ink Orchid: "Alright!"

"No—!"

Purple wailed, "I'll drown! Insects will drown!"

Ink Orchid strode forward, then asked, "Isn't this a bit too cruel? I think it'd be better to just twist its head off first."

Dragon Cypress: "No way. I swore an oath before the Natural True God, promising to let it go."

As Dragon Cypress spoke, he grandly waved his claw. "Purple, we're all old friends. I'll let you off this time, but you'd better watch your step from now on. Don't let me catch you again."

Ink Orchid: "Next time, I'll twist your head off right away."

Dragon Cypress: "And then I'll tear your wings off."

After finishing, Dragon Cypress spread his membranous wings and Origin Force exploded forth.

The frozen sea surface thawed.

Purple didn't dare say another word. The sea surface rose up in white mist, shrouding and hiding her form.

The white mist clung to the waves, swiftly drifting away.

…

…

…

"Dragon Cypress, should we keep looking?"

"Of course."

"What if that butterfly brings reinforcements back, circles around and comes after us—then what?"

"Just think: if we really belonged to the Blue Island force, and heard news that bad, what would we do?"

"Rush back to Blue Island and tell the other Ant Kings of the Kingdom... Oh! I get it now, if that butterfly wants payback, it will definitely go to ambush us in the waters on the way back to Blue Island."

"Ink Orchid, you're getting smarter and smarter. All right, let's continue searching the island without worry. I'll keep watch."

"Okay——"

Ink Orchid didn't move, sighing lightly, "Dragon Cypress, it seems we've stumbled right into a once-in-a-generation war on Bayonet Continent."

"Yes."

"Seems like it all started because of the Soul-Setting Fruit... Is the Flame Spider Tribe stirring things up?"

"It's obvious. Looks like Blue Island and the Flame Spider Roving Merchants don't have steady trade relations. That's the root of the conflict."

"The Kingdom is so huge, it's self-sufficient, doesn't need to trade with the Flame Spider Roving Merchants."
