Astral Gods

Chapter 6 Purple Locust, Purple Artemisia, Purple Taxus

"Whether it's possible or not, we can't let them keep endlessly draining the Third Brother's primal energy, otherwise something bad will happen to him."

As she spoke, Zizhu took out a small bag of raw stones and scraped them together with Zitong, replenishing their primal energy.

As they expected, the primal force within the stones surged forth as they scraped away at the stones, and was rapidly absorbed by the three insects. Only after consuming another three hundred stones did the insects' rate of primal force absorption slow down.

"Purple Pearl, something's not right!" Only now did Zi Tong realize that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"Aren't the Force Warriors all different? Why are the Force auras of these three insects able to merge into one?"

"This... I don't quite understand either." The inheritance of memories didn't mention it either?

Zitong looked expectantly at the three insects that had fallen back into a deep sleep: "Zizhu, can all three of them really advance to become Force Warriors?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure." Zizhu wasn't sure either, the situation was just too strange.

Zi Tong asked, "Should I inform Lord Zi Li?"

"No need," Zizhu immediately refused. "The lord has already troubled us enough; let's not bother him with this little thing. Let's wait and see!"

"That's fine too." Zitong had no objection to Zizhu's response.

Under the watchful eyes of two rhinoceros beetle warriors, two other newly emerged rhinoceros beetles slowly transformed inside the cave.

This transformation is not merely a change in the outer shell, but an essential evolution at the level of life itself, a transformation from an ordinary organism to a primal being.

After Zizhu and Zitong waited for a day, two rhinoceros beetles, each five or six centimeters in diameter, emerged from the cave one after the other.

Sensing the intense Force fluctuations emanating from them, Zizhu and Zitong were overjoyed; they had indeed evolved into two Force warriors.

"Hello, little ones. I am your elder, Zizhu and Zitong."

"Hello!" The two rhinoceros beetle warriors waved their antennae and greeted each other cheerfully.

"A very lively little soldier."

Seeing the condition of the two little warriors, Zizhu was extremely pleased. She immediately took out some Force food and placed it in front of them: "You have just transformed into little warriors. Eat some Force food to restore your strength."

The two little warriors didn't say much; as soon as they saw the Force food, they pounced on it and began to eat.

Zitong looked at the two little warriors who were eating and said, "Zizhu, you also need to prepare life seeds for the two little warriors, and you also need to choose good names for them."

"Yes." Upon hearing Zitong's words, Zizhu immediately went to the nest to search for the seeds she had found and stored in the jungle.

It quickly picked out two seeds and placed them in front of the little soldiers: "Little ones, these are mulberry seeds. Each of you can choose one to put in your life bag."

The two little soldiers obediently each took a seed and put it into their life pouches.

"And what should they be called? Our lineage begins with 'purple,' so should they be called 'Purple Fruit'? 'Purple Leaf'?"

Zizhu thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there already a little warrior in the tribe named Ziguo? Why don't we call the eldest Zihuai, the second Ziai, and the third one, although still young, has a high probability of becoming a Zerg warrior? Once the third one evolves into an adult Zerg warrior, we can call him Zishan. That way it's convenient and easy to recognize."

Hearing Zizhu say this, Zitong also thought it was a good idea and said, "Then the eldest will be called Zihuai, and the second will be called Ziai."

"Purple Locust, Purple Artemisia, try absorbing some natural primal energy and see how your primal energy talent develops."

Under the guidance of Zizhu and Zitong, the two young warriors absorbed the power of nature, and tests revealed that their talents were quite good, even better than Zizhu's.

After the talent test was completed, Zizhu said, "The sudden addition of two little warriors is good news for the entire tribe. Zitong, go and inform Lord Zili to come and take a look."

……

Upon learning that two more young warriors had appeared in the tribe, Lord Zili was greatly surprised. He immediately abandoned Zitong and flew over alone with his insect.

Upon arriving at Purple Pearl's territory, he inquired, "Purple Pearl, have two more little warriors really appeared?"

"Yes," Zizhu replied.

"Lord Purple Plum, do you remember when I dug up all the eggs in the ground, including those three that had Force fluctuations? The ones that have evolved into little warriors are the other two eggs."

Upon hearing Zizhu's words, Lord Zili instantly remembered: "Three eggs in one nest, and all three of them can become Zerg warriors. This is a rare occurrence in the world."

Lord Zili pondered carefully: "Zizhu, I remember you said you saw a white light fall down?"

"Yes, the locust flowers were here too. We saw them together. I also discovered that the eldest, second eldest, and third eldest could merge their primal energy into one."

Just now, it was the third brother who transferred the Force energy into the eldest and second brothers, allowing them to successfully become Zerg warriors.

As she spoke, Zizhu looked hopefully at Lord Zili: "Lord Zili, do you think that if we put the other insect eggs here with the third one, is it possible that insect warriors will be born?"

Hearing it utter such fanciful words, Lord Purple Plum shattered its delusion without hesitation: "Don't even think about it. If I'm not mistaken, the reason these two Zerg warriors were able to be born, including the third one being able to possess Force fluctuations ahead of time, and even the fact that their auras can be linked together, is all related to that white light. It's no use bringing other larvae over."

"However," Lord Zili changed the subject, "it's worth a try, there's no harm in it anyway."

"I see."

Lord Zili inquired about another matter: "Have their destiny types been chosen? Have they been named?"

"The seed of destiny has been chosen; their first seed is a mulberry tree."

"As for their names, the eldest is called Zihuai, the second is called Ziai, and the third is called Zishan, so they can be distinguished."

"That's fine."

Then, Lord Zili asked with some concern, "Zizhu, now that we have two more little warriors, and the third one will definitely be a little warrior after it evolves, can you afford to raise three little warriors?"

Hearing Lord Zi Li's words, Zi Zhu suddenly became somewhat dejected: "I can't afford to raise them. They consume too many raw stones. I can't even afford to raise the third one, just one insect."

Lord Zili tentatively asked, "Then let me raise them?"

This time, Zizhu did not postpone it. After thinking for a moment, it said, "The little warriors are only a bit difficult to raise in the early and middle stages. Once they reach the advanced stage, they can be self-reliant."

"How about this, I'll raise them during the initial stage, and you can take them to start training in combat skills when they reach the intermediate stage?"

"Alright."

Besides caring for their own kind, they train young warriors with another purpose: to cultivate a fighting spirit from a young age and to protect each other's territory.

In the early stages, the little warriors don't consume much Force Food. However, in the intermediate stages, the Force Food consumed by the three little warriors is more than that that a single advanced warrior like Purple Pearl can handle, since it also needs to evolve and grow.
