Natural God's Gift

#5 - The God-given seed sprouts

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone on Fourleaf, and the various insect chirps awakened it. It raised its chelicerae, spread its eight spider legs, and stretched lazily.

Still a bit dazed from waking up, it blankly looked at the fiery red maple forest below the mountain in late autumn.

"Fourleaf, good morning." Noticing Fourleaf's awakening, Qingfeng Lord extended its mental energy to the top of its head to greet Fourleaf, who was on its head.

"Qingfeng Lord, good morning." Fourleaf moved all eight of its spider legs and climbed down from Qingfeng Lord's head. Yesterday, it had been lying on Qingfeng Lord's head waiting for the clover to grow, and it had drowsily fallen asleep. It wondered why it was standing so high.

"Are you hungry? Torch and Greenfield have already gone to hunt for food. Breakfast will be ready soon."

"Not too hungry yet." It had replenished its food supply after evolving yesterday, so it wasn't very hungry after only one night.

Fourleaf suddenly remembered something and eagerly looked towards the center of the fertile soil: "Qingfeng Lord, has my life-seed, the God-given Seed, sprouted yet?"

"It has sprouted." Qingfeng Lord pointed to a tiny green dot in the center of the fertile soil. It was almost imperceptible unless you looked closely. Only its slow absorption of natural primal force indicated its existence.

"It's sprouted!" Fourleaf was extremely happy. The sprouting of the God-given Seed meant that it could eat primal force food to grow and become a big spider like Qingfeng Lord, right? Then it wouldn't have to be afraid of the birds in the sky, right?

"Where's Ziyun? Did it go hunting too?" After looking at the God-given Seed for a while, Fourleaf turned around and looked around, not seeing Ziyun's figure.

"Ziyun and the other Flame Spider Merchants are trading goods. It's dealing with the transaction matters now and will come over later."

"We're back..." Torch and Greenfield ran back from a distance, each holding a prey in their chelicerae.

"Fourleaf, you're awake?"

"Hehe, look what I caught." Torch raised its chelicerae high, with a dead goose on them: "The early worm gets the bird. We're in for a treat."

"And a wild boar." Greenfield also indicated the half-grown wild boar in its claws.

"Eat goose, I want to eat goose." Most insectoids have a strong fear of birds. After evolving into primal force warriors, their favorite food is also this type of food, purely out of revenge.

"Okay, you can have it." Several spiders manipulated silk to cut and slice the prey. After the spiders finished eating the goose, they lay down next to the God-given Seed to rest and chat, quietly waiting for it to grow leaves.

Torch asked, "Qingfeng Lord, have you notified Ginkgo Lord yet?"

"Not yet. We'll notify it after confirming that this God-given Seed is a Divine-grade."

"Divine-grade? What Divine-grade?" Fourleaf widened its eight eyes, not knowing what they were talking about.

Torch: "Oh, little Fourleaf, I forgot to tell you that your God-given Seed is very likely a Divine-grade God-given Seed, and it's very likely endowed with wood-type talent."

"Divine-grade God-given Seed?" Fourleaf was both surprised and delighted. There were records of Divine-grade God-given Seeds in its inherited memories, and it knew that it was a more precious plant seed than God-given Seeds.

"Can the fruit it bears be exchanged for a lot of primal stones?"

"It can be exchanged for a lot, a lot, so much that you can't finish eating it in your entire life."

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm rich!" Fourleaf jumped and cheered happily.

"Lucky Fourleaf." Torch was very envious. It had seen many insects with God-given Seeds, and they represented wealth, ease, nobility, and the possibility of evolving to a higher level. As long as they managed their territory within the domain, they could harvest abundant primal force food without having to travel around like Flame Spider Merchants to earn hard-earned money, sometimes even losing money.

Fourleaf had a Divine-grade God-given Seed, so its status was no lower than those insects. Presumably, it could become the legendary Insect King in the future.

Although it was winter, Torch and the others weren't idle. There were six types of Flame Spiders in the kingdom: Primal Spiders, White-legged Flame Spiders, Watarai Flame Spiders, Purple-colored Flame Spiders, Round-purple Flame Spiders, and Iridescent Flame Spiders.

Besides the Primal Spider Warriors, they could each awaken a fixed elemental talent after reaching the Mountain Lord level. White-legged Flame Spiders were born with fire-type talent. Watarai Flame Spiders had earth-type talent, Purple-colored Flame Spiders had metal-type talent, Round-purple Flame Spiders had wind-type talent, and Iridescent Flame Spiders had water-type talent.

In the winter, they would build nest chambers and reservoirs for the Primal Spider Warriors according to their requirements, and then receive rewards from the Primal Spider Warriors' claws.

Torch and Greenfield would occasionally run out to do odd jobs or return to their own territory to take care of the small Flame Spiders of their lineage, and then run over every day to check on the growth status of the God-given Seed.

After about ten days, the clover God-given Seed finally sprouted and emerged from the soil, growing leaves. Perhaps because of the winter, its growth was very slow, but fortunately, the Flame Spider Kingdom was in a warm region, and the winter was very mild, allowing the God-given Seed to grow smoothly.

However, the God-given Seed that grew out was not the appearance of an ordinary clover, but rather four leaves growing at the top of the stem, each leaf heart-shaped and very beautiful.

"Four-leaf clover, hehe, the same as Fourleaf's name, so nice." Fourleaf chuckled foolishly.

"Torch, go call Ginkgo over and have it determine whether this God-given Seed is Divine-grade?"

"Okay." Hearing the order, Torch ran quickly towards the kingdom's abyss. The moment to determine whether the four-leaf clover was Divine-grade had finally arrived, making the insect look forward to it.

Among the Primal Spiders, there were two Lord-level Flame Spiders. Qingfeng Lord specialized in raising Primal Spiders and cultivating Flame Spider Warriors, while Ginkgo Lord guarded the kingdom's abyss to protect the kingdom's wealth and the wild God-given Seeds within the kingdom.

"Ginkgo Lord, Ginkgo Lord..." From far away, Torch ran and contacted Ginkgo Lord, who was guarding the entrance to the abyss, with its mental energy.

Ginkgo Lord, who was dozing off, opened its spider eyes and saw Torch, the Mountain Lord of the Watarai Flame Spider tribe, running and calling out. It was a little puzzled: "You're Torch Mountain Lord of the Watarai Flame Spider tribe? What's the rush?"

Torch arrived before Ginkgo, panting: "It's like this, some time ago we found a Primal Spider Warrior in the wild. When it was in its first instar, it conceived a Divine-Bestowed Seed of a Four-Leaf Clover. After planting it, it sprouted leaves. Lord Green Maple suspects it's a Divine-Grade Divine-Bestowed Seed. You have the widest knowledge in the kingdom. Lord Green Maple said to ask you to identify it."

"Divine-Grade Divine-Bestowed?" The Ginkgo Lord, who was originally lying down, stood up directly. Its leg span was almost five meters, a whole circle larger than Lord Green Maple.

"Not sure, go take a look." Torch said with certainty again, "I think it must be Divine-Grade. The Four-Leaf already has two Divine-Bestowed Seeds in the second instar. Nature is watching it."

"Two Divine-Bestowed Seeds?" The Ginkgo Lord's spider eyes were blank. Where did so many Divine-Bestowed Seeds come from?

"Yes, Four-Leaf also has a Morning Glory Divine-Bestowed Seed."

"What kind of plant is a Four-Leaf Clover? It seems like there's no such plant in my inherited memories." The Ginkgo Lord searched its inherited memories, even more puzzled.

"Four-Leaf is a mutation of the Shamrock, known as a lucky clover. Four-Leaf is really as lucky as its name." Torch began to envy it again at this point.

"You're talking about a mutated species of Shamrock? I thought a new plant species had been born in nature. I didn't expect it could also give birth to a Divine-Bestowed Seed." The Four-Leaf Shamrock was already one in a million, very rare, relying entirely on probability to be born. Herbaceous plants are the kind that are extremely difficult to give birth to Divine-Bestowed Seeds, and Divine-Bestowed Seeds can only be born by chance under the massive base number of ordinary plants.

Originally, the probability of a Herbaceous Divine-Bestowed Seed being born was one in a billion. This is still the Divine-Bestowed Seed of a mutated Shamrock. It's also possible that it's a Divine-Grade among Divine-Bestowed Seeds, which is one in a million. This is equivalent to only one such Divine-Bestowed Seed possibly being born among a trillion Shamrocks. It also has to be discovered and planted in time. This is a Divine-Bestowed Seed that appears in the probability of probability of probability. Such rare things can't be encountered a few times in countless cycles.

"I'll go take a look with you." Feeling that this Torch Mountain Lord of the Watanabe Flame Spider was speaking a bit unclearly, the Ginkgo Lord decided to go see for himself.

The Ginkgo Lord released its mental power to greet the Mountain Lord-level Primal Spider Warriors around: "Eight-Prism, Knotweed, you guard the abyss, I'll go to Green Maple's place."

"Yes!" Two Primal Spider Warriors with a leg span of two to three meters ran over from the nearby mountains to guard both sides of the abyss passage.

"Let's go," the Ginkgo Lord took the lead and walked forward. Its eight limbs moved together, bringing a gust of wind and rushing to the front.

"Wait for me." Torch had just run over, wanting to take a break, but didn't expect the Ginkgo Lord to be so anxious. It wanted to hear the Ginkgo Lord's judgment on the Four-Leaf Clover Divine-Bestowed Seed with its own ears, and quickly ran wildly, chasing desperately.

The Ginkgo Lord ran to Lord Green Maple's territory at extreme speed. Scanning with its mental power, it sensed it at the edge of the territory and turned to approach.

"Green Maple, Torch said that a Primal Spider young warrior conceived a special Divine-Bestowed Seed, is it true?"

"Yes," Lord Green Maple raised its claw and pointed to the Four-Leaf Clover Divine-Bestowed Seed in the center of the fertile soil, "This Divine-Bestowed Seed looks different from ordinary Divine-Bestowed Seeds. I'm not very sure either. I originally wanted to tell you after confirming it, but I can't judge it."

The Ginkgo Lord raised its claw, indicating that it knew: "What's so special about this Divine-Bestowed Seed? Tell me everything so I can judge it better."

Its mental power swept over Four-Leaf, kindly saying: "Are you the young warrior who conceived this Divine-Bestowed Seed?"

"Yes, my name is Four-Leaf, I've met the Ginkgo Lord." Four-Leaf originally thought that Lord Green Maple was big enough, but didn't expect the Ginkgo Lord to be a whole circle bigger than Lord Green Maple. It looked like a super monster, and it was estimated that plucking a leg hair would be heavier than itself.

The Ginkgo Lord said gently: "Can you tell me how this Divine-Bestowed Seed came about?"

Four-Leaf shook its small chelicerae: "I don't know. After I was born, I fell on the flower of this Divine-Bestowed Seed after coming down from the tree. Then, in late autumn, I encountered Ziyun's caravan. Ziyun asked me to conceive it into a Life Seed, and I conceived it into a Life Seed. I don't know anything else."

After speaking, Four-Leaf said somewhat lacking in confidence: "But Lord Green Maple and the others said that my Divine-Bestowed Seed is Divine-Grade, shouldn't it be?"

Ziyun stood out and said: "Let me tell you. We discovered Four-Leaf and the Four-Leaf Divine-Bestowed Seed fruit it was guarding in the wild. At that time, Four-Leaf had not yet evolved into a Primal Spider Warrior, and the fruit was not yet ripe. We waited for a few days. When the fruit matured, Four-Leaf happened to evolve into a Primal Spider Warrior, so I let it incorporate it into its Life Sac to conceive it into a Life Seed."

"After returning to the kingdom, Four-Leaf advanced to a second instar junior warrior. When it evolved, it extracted a large amount of natural primal force from nature, and we also used five or six thousand Primal Stones to promote its evolution. The commotion during evolution was more terrifying than when we advanced to Mountain Lord level, so Lord Green Maple and I suspect it is a Divine-Grade Divine-Bestowed Seed."

"Also," Lord Green Maple added, "We discovered that after this Divine-Bestowed Seed was conceived by Four-Leaf, it was covered with dense primal force patterns, which were thousands of times more than the primal force patterns of my Green Maple Divine-Bestowed Seed.

I am sure that even if it is not a Divine-Grade Divine-Bestowed Seed, it should be very unusual."

The Ginkgo Lord looked up and pondered, thinking for a while and said: "According to your description, I judge that there is a 50% chance that it is a Divine-Grade Divine-Bestowed Seed. Herbaceous Divine-Bestowed Seeds need to look at the subsequent tillering and stolons to confirm more clearly. Don't be in a hurry, we can always see it slowly."
