In the fourth painting, a group of Insect Clan Warriors arrived before a magnificent gate, and a Shield Grasshopper Warrior was fiddling with the gate's mechanism.

In the fifth painting, the treasury was opened, rows of metal shelves and scattered metal chests covered the ground. In the center, there was a cylindrical platform, on which stood three oversized rectangular metal chests.

Undoubtedly, these were the most valuable treasures in the treasury, with mechanisms securing the metal chests onto the cylindrical platform.

The Shield Grasshopper Warrior was attempting to crack it.

In the sixth painting, the cylindrical platform was empty. Two Sand Diving Warriors carried a rectangular metal chest away from the treasury...

...

If you're familiar with some events that occurred during the previous Origin Force Era, these patterns are clear at a glance, with concise and straightforward narration.

Back then, it was indeed the ancestors of the Huagi Mountain Shield Grasshopper Tribe who opened the treasury door and first took the metal chest containing the most valuable treasures.

The Sand Diving Tribe followed closely, picking up the slack and dragged away an equally valuable metal chest, which stored the 'Thousand-Year Tree.'

However, it seems Huagi Mountain was not content with letting other insects take advantage of the treasury they had opened...

In the ninth painting, a lush giant tree exploded with tens of thousands of emerald beams, and beneath the tree, a large group of charging Insect Clan Warriors were riddled with wounds...

Ink Orchid pointed at the painting with a question: "Ivy, Wisteria, what kind of insect is this?"

Ivy: "Seems like a Grasshopper... specifically... can't tell."

Wisteria: "Too blurry. Can't recognize."

Ivy: "Let's not mind such trivial details."

Wisteria: "Great King, Second King, don't just look, search around for that Divine God-Given Seed named 'Sandy Oak.'

Ink Orchid chuckled dryly.

This painting clearly recorded the Shield Grasshopper Tribe attacking the Thousand-Year Mountain Sand Diving Tribe, only to be defeated miserably by a tree suspected to have fused with the 'Thousand-Year Tree.'

"Dragon Cypress, what do you think?"

Ink Orchid asked.

"What do you mean, what do I think?"

Dragon Cypress counter-questioned.

Ink Orchid: "Standing in the center of the treasury were three metal chests. Huagi Mountain took away three God-Level Shining Gold; Thousand-Year Mountain took away one Thousand-Year Tree; so, which Insect Clan took the other metal chest? What's inside? What's its purpose? Where is it?"

Ink Orchid fiercely glared at Ivy.

Ivy: "I'm sure I don't know such confidential matters~"

Wisteria proactively said: "I'm young, I know even less."

Ink Orchid glared at Dragon Cypress.

Dragon Cypress: "Go back and directly ask the Huagi Divine Tree. First, find out what's inside, what properties it conveys, and if it's still in the Origin Force Star Realm. Once it's clarified, then consider everything else."

"Yes—"

Ink Orchid solemnly declared: "Every Origin Force Reincarnation cycle, Starship Wreckage falls from Outworld. Inside every Starship Wreckage, lies the heritage of a particular civilization. Every civilization has its unique legacy artifact. In the previous era, the Starship that crashed on Cloud Trace Continent contained the wealth of an Outworld Civilization skilled in agriculture. The treasury opened by Huagi Mountain ancestors held a civilization's highest level of legacy Divine Artifact within those three metal chests."

Ink Orchid affirmed: "The initial plan of the Huagi Divine Tree must have been to retrieve the other two treasures snatched in the bygone years after the revival of Origin Force."

Dragon Cypress: "Second King is astute."

Dragon Cypress beckoned: "Search around again, see if any hidden passage exists."

Everyone dispersed and continued searching.

Wisteria was the first to give up, depressingly saying: "Looks like that Sandy Oak Divine God-Given Seed left with the Sand Diving Tribe Warriors."

"Wisteria is smarter than Ivy!"

Dragon Cypress nodded his tentacle in approval, then beckoned: "Let's go. It's really regrettable; it's indeed been taken away. If it were left, it would definitely be stored together with the Thousand-Year Tree."

—Of course!

The discontent Ink Orchid and Ivy stopped moving.

Dragon Cypress lightly tapped his tentacle, generating a giant water sphere over three meters in diameter, wrapping the Thousand-Year Tree, transforming it into a twelve-legged monstrous insect half-snake, half-centipede, climbing along the passage upwards.

Ink Orchid, Ivy, Wisteria followed.

They reached the outside exit,

Ink Orchid turned back, reminding: "There are still many Divine-Given Remains."

"Come by when you have time, transport them back to Xianglan Mountain, use them as nourishment for Purple Three Leaf's Life Seed."

Dragon Cypress controlled the water flow, placing the Thousand-Year Tree on the throne.

Take-off and departure, straight south.

Wisteria immediately identified an issue.

"Great King, Second King, where are we going?"

"First back to Xianglan Mountain, Wisteria, you first look for Purple Three Leaf. Ivy, you can come along, go to Rainbow Island and check, confirm the use of the Thousand-Year Tree."

"We're not going back to Purple Tung Insect Nation? Not reporting to Huagi Divine Tree first?"

"What's there to report? First test the ability, confirm it, and then report together."

"Oh—"

"Linnan Divine Tree sees clearly, indeed, it's beneficial to send two smart insects to supervise."

"Huagi Divine Tree sees most clearly, the treasures taken by Dragon Cypress Ant King and Mantis King Ink Orchid, it's impossible to return them to Huagi Mountain."

"Silence!"

Ink Orchid waved his tentacle to beat, annoyed: "You can question the insect character of Dragon Cypress Ant King, but don't involve me..."
