Chapter 61 Rebirth

Everyone was somewhat surprised: "Lord Zi Li, what is this?"

At this moment, Lord Purple Plum was holding a mulberry seed in his hand.

"I discussed it with Qingzhu Jiawang, and we want the yew tree to give birth to another male mulberry tree as the seed."

Lord Zili explained, "The mulberry tree is a plant that our tribe has been cultivating."

As you all know, our tribe wants to migrate to the Thousand Star Islands. Although no descendants have migrated there yet, many mountain lords have already begun planning their territories and building forests there.

"At that time, we will have more than 20,000 square kilometers of land to plant mulberry trees. As long as we plant them on a large scale, the probability of the birth of divinely bestowed seeds will greatly increase."

"The mulberry tree has male and female branches, which is slightly inferior to other plants that also enhance vitality. However, its fruit enhancement effect can be used by everyone from the insect king to the novice warrior, making it a very worthwhile plant to cultivate."

Now, together with the two yew trees, our tribe has one male mulberry tree and three female mulberry trees that were divinely bestowed. Perhaps in the future, we will have the opportunity to add one or two more divinely bestowed mulberry trees.”

"As long as the male mulberry tree is pollinated by the divinely bestowed seed, the quality of the fruit produced by the mulberry tree will not be lower than that of the fruit of other divinely bestowed seeds that enhance vitality."

"Even without considering that, in terms of output alone, one male Divine Seed is equivalent to the output of six female Divine Seeds."

The male mulberry trees nurtured by the yew tree do not produce as many flowers as the divinely bestowed seed, yielding less than half the number of flowers that a normal male divinely bestowed seed would produce.

Even so, it is roughly equivalent to the total income of two or three female mulberry trees with divinely bestowed seeds, making it arguably the plant with the highest cost-effectiveness.

If it were to produce another male mulberry tree, the combined yield of the two divinely bestowed seeds would, overall, not be much worse than that of a normal male mulberry tree!

As soon as Lord Zili said this, everyone immediately understood their thoughts and arrangements. It was still the same old story: if the quality wasn't good enough, they would make up for it with quantity.

A single male mulberry tree, a divinely bestowed seed, can pollinate eight female mulberry trees with its own flowers. If two male mulberry trees, also divinely bestowed seeds, were to pollinate sixteen female mulberry trees with their own flowers, they could pollinate sixteen female mulberry trees with their own flowers.

Although it is still somewhat different from a genuine divinely bestowed seed, the difference is not significant.

Calculated in this way, it is equivalent to the combined value of two male mulberry trees (given seed) and one regular male mulberry tree (given seed), which is already a very high return.

Most importantly, mulberries produced by ordinary life types can reach the divine-given level after being pollinated by male flowers. This allows for the mass production of divine-given primal force food. What does it matter if the quality is slightly inferior? As long as it reaches the divine-given level, that's fine.

If the plan proceeds as scheduled, each of the 16 seedlings can produce 2 divinely bestowed mulberry fruits per year in the advanced stage, which would amount to a total of 32 fruits.

Regardless of quality, which tribe on the island could produce so many uniform varieties of divinely bestowed food? This alone is enough to make it a distinctive feature of their tribe.

Zishan looked left and right, and seeing that no one had any objections, he took the male mulberry seed from Lord Zili's claws and put it into his life pouch to nurture it into a life seed.

Zishan held up the small spider silk pouch in her paw: "Lord Zili, shall I go and sow the seeds of life?"

"Go!" After arranging the life-sustaining seeds of the second-year-old yew trees, there's another matter that needs to be addressed as well.

……

Lord Zili flew away from Ziling and arrived at the main peak of Daqingfeng.

Like Ziling, the main peak is also planted with many life seeds.

There is a cave on the main peak. The rhinoceros beetle warriors dug the cave into many passages, and then built their respective nests inside the cave.

Lord Purple Plum flew over Great Green Peak. The rhinoceros beetle warriors guarding the peak saw that it was their tribe's lord, so they waved their antennae and pretended not to see him, continuing their patrol.

Lord Zili followed the passage into the cave and sent out his spiritual energy to summon the Zerg warriors inside.

Sensing Lord Zili's spiritual intent, Lord Qingguo calmly stepped out of the cave: "Zili, what's wrong?"

"Isn't the Green Bamboo Armor King with his clan?"

"No, it's been in the Thousand Star Islands for a while now. July and August are the peak season for typhoons and tsunamis, so it has to stay there to help defend against them."

"oh."

Lord Zili remembered that their Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe used to not have to worry about these things, but if the tribe were to be moved there, they would have to do their part to defend against attacks from the Sea Beast Kingdom.

"Is there something you need from it?"

"That's right. Didn't the Lord of Zehui Mountain say that the extraterrestrial civilization's creation called the light bulb was very effective in supplementing the light of life seeds, but it would require the construction of some kind of hydroelectric power station?"

After some consideration, I think we can start by spending 500 million raw gems to build one.

"500 million raw stones is no small sum. Have you thought it through?"

It was present when Lord Zehui said those words, so Lord Qingguo naturally knew the situation.

In its view, 500 million raw stones is no small amount; it represents almost all the output of Lord Purple Plum's destiny over the past 20 years.

Even if that hydroelectric power station is built, their tribe might not be able to move it, so all those raw stones would be wasted.

"I have now bred a male mulberry seed from the yew tree. Once it advances to a higher stage, it will be able to pollinate 16 mulberry seeds. It will take about 20 to 30 years to recoup the investment. In addition, this equipment can also provide supplementary lighting for the seeds of other soldiers in the future."

Are you sure this device will actually work?

"Of course, we need to see the actual results first. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a huge waste to spend the raw stones and get no effect?"

Lord Qingguo thought about it and agreed with what it said. If it really worked well, maybe their Great Qingfeng could also adapt to a set. After all, in terms of the number of Zerg warriors and life seeds, their place still had the most.

"So you're planning to find Lord Zehui now?"

Lord Zili honestly replied, "Ziling is short of funds. I was thinking of discussing with King Qingzhujia whether they could lend us some raw stones to pay off our debts."

Lord Green Fruit was having a headache. Force food doesn't keep well, and everyone basically consumes all of their annual production. Only a few surplus resources are exchanged with the Flame Spider Merchant for Spider King Scrolls, which are more durable.

The Qing lineage also has high expenses. Not to mention the distant past, the Qingzhu Armor King was able to advance to the King level only by borrowing resources from the lords of the clan. It is still in debt. However, it is not good not to borrow for such an important matter concerning the development of the clan.

"Let's first ask the mountain lord of Zehui about the regulations and see how that hydroelectric power station he mentioned was built."

If it proves effective, then we'll invite the tribal lords to discuss whether we can allocate a portion of the profits from the raw stones to build this hydroelectric power station.

"That's what I mean too. The young soldiers are constantly growing, and the sooner the hydroelectric power station is built, the sooner the rewards will come."
