Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 587 - 553 Rainbow Island, King Ant Goldna_2

"!!!"

King Ant Goldna and his five Assistant Kings all stood up.

"Let's not get excited," Snow Velvet Spider King signaled. "The reason our Flame Spider Kingdom sealed the passages is that Cloud Trace Continent has entered the Origin Force Silent Period. For Origin Force life forms like us, it's a Desolation of Death over there... without Origin Force."

King Ant Goldna asked, "Origin Force Silent Period?"

Snow Velvet Spider King explained, "The Origin Force Silent Period is when a continent's Origin Force disappears, the Ten Thousand Clans fall silent, and it becomes an Origin Force Vacuum Land. The Origin Force Star Realm we inhabit is a massive sphere, divided by a Divine Force Barrier into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with eight continents in total. The Northern Hemisphere has four continents: Cloud Trace, Dragon Bamboo, Ten Thousand Tribes, and Wan Country. The Southern Continent also has four: Wanglan, Zhibai, Thousand Trees, and Thousand Hills. The eight continents, alternating between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, experience cycles of Origin Force decline and resurgence, each cycle lasting eighteen thousand years..."

Although King Ant Goldna guarded Rainbow Island, he was oblivious to all of this.

It took Snow Velvet Spider King some effort to clearly explain the entire situation.

King Ant Goldna and his five Assistant Kings were shocked into stunned silence, unable to speak.

Snow Velvet Spider King continued, "Currently, there are two unexpected issues. The first is that a Starship Passage has somehow connected Cloud Trace Continent with Wan Country Continent and Ten-thousand Tribes Continent, allowing communication with the Flame Spider Roving Merchants of the Northern Hemisphere. The second issue is the existence of a Land of Origin Force on Cloud Trace Continent."

Snow Velvet Spider King said, "I need to return to the Kingdom and report to the Spider King Stewards of the Ancestral Land. We must discuss and decide whether to reopen the passage. King Ant Goldna, Dragon Cypress Ant King, whether it reopens or not, it won't affect you, but you absolutely must maintain secrecy. The passage's existence violates the will of the Natural True God. If a large number of the Insect Clan learn of it, this passage will disappear."

Dragon Cypress and King Ant Goldna both solemnly bobbed their tentacles in agreement.

Snow Velvet Spider King said, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, let's take the undersea passage and go to Cloud Trace Continent first for a look. King Ant Goldna, if you're interested, you can join us and broaden your horizons."

"Of course, I'm interested!"

King Ant Goldna stood up again and asked, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, where did you dig the passage?"

Dragon Cypress also rose and said, "This way..."

Dragon Cypress led them to the northern tip of the island, an area of rubble and cliffs. Snow Velvet Spider King scanned with his spiritual power, locking onto the cave entrance.

"I'll go down first!" Snow Velvet Spider King declared, then leaped down into the crashing waves.

Dragon Cypress opened his mouth, and the Dominating Throne flew out, rapidly expanding.

Dragon Cypress leaped onto it and said, "The Dominating Throne can only transport one at a time through the deep-sea passage. King Ant Goldna, shall I take you across first?"

King Ant Goldna hesitated for a moment before jumping onto the Throne as well.

Ink Orchid, Black Birch, and King Ant Goldna's five Assistant Kings waited for the time being.

The Dominating Throne projected an Azure Primordial Energy Shield, floated off the ground, and then plummeted swiftly, disappearing into the waves with a resounding splash.

Passing through the undersea tunnel and the heavy metal doors, they entered the spacious cave left by the Flame Spider Tribe's ancestors.

Snow Velvet Spider King had already arrived and was inspecting the large metal door.

Snow Velvet Spider King still couldn't quite accept it; the legendary, unbreakable seal left by the ancestors had actually been broken by Lord-Level Insect Clan Warriors...

But looking at the metal door, at the lingering traces in the seams, the strengthening ability left by the ancestors was indeed indestructible...

Was it bad luck, or had their ability been countered?

When Snow Velvet Spider King saw Dragon Cypress and King Ant Goldna arrive, he stopped pondering. He turned to look at the murals in the cave and was quickly drawn to the map of the continents on the ceiling.

King Ant Goldna, after looking around in wide-eyed amazement, also fixed his gaze upon the ceiling map.

Cloud Trace Continent, Dragon Bamboo Continent, Wanglan Continent, Zhibai Continent—it was a detailed geographical map, depicting the mountains and rivers across half the planet.

Dragon Cypress climbed up the stone wall, moving upside down across the dome. He finally stopped over the western sea area of Wanglan Continent, waved his tentacles, and pointed at a large coastal island, asking,

"Snow Velvet Spider King, if I'm not mistaken, this should be Wave Tree Bay, right?"

Snow Velvet Spider King confirmed, "Yes. That's Yu'e Island. It's roughly 13,000 square kilometers, with flat terrain, making it hard to defend. When the Stone Hunt Blue Ants invade the Mainland, they always attack this island first."

"Behind Yu'e Island is a bay, about a hundred kilometers from the Mainland. For an invasion from Blue Island, Yu'e Island is the most ideal initial landing point. In every war, the forces from Blue Island and the Wave Tree Bay Allied Forces battle fiercely over this island."

Snow Velvet Spider King finished speaking.

A long silence ensued.

Simultaneously, the gazes of Snow Velvet Spider King and King Ant Goldna shifted to the cave wall, to the paintings that chronicled the Flame Spider Roving Merchants' travels across the continents.

"I'll go get the other insects," Dragon Cypress said. Hanging from the cave ceiling, he spread his wings, spiraled down to the ground, and then began shuttling back and forth, bringing Ink Orchid, Black Birch, and King Ant Goldna's five Assistant Kings over.

After they had observed the relics in the cave for a long time, Snow Velvet Spider King withdrew his gaze. He walked to the 'water portal' at the center and called out, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, time is short. Just take King Ant Goldna over for a look."

After saying this, Snow Velvet Spider King leaped into the 'water portal' and vanished into its depths with a dive.

Dragon Cypress, carrying King Ant Goldna, followed closely behind.

They passed through the Undersea Starship Passage.

「On Cloud Trace Continent's side, it was dawn.」

The sun peeked over the eastern skyline. A gentle breeze created tiny waves, and the sea surface glimmered with golden light.

"King Ant Goldna, I'll take you high up for a panoramic view!" Dragon Cypress said as the Dominating Throne slowly ascended.

King Ant Goldna lay prone at the edge of the Throne, gazing fixedly at the vast Endless Sea stretching before him. After a very long time, a hint of melancholy in his spiritual voice, he asked,

"Once, was this continent also filled with Origin Force?"
