Astral Gods

Chapter 51 Flowers Bloom in February

The Lord of Zehui Mountain explained to the young warriors how to increase their chances of obtaining the divine seed.

On Banana Island, including the main continent of Thousand Trees, the most common way to find the God-given Seed is for Zerg warriors to search for it by chance in the Zerg-free areas of the wilderness.

It can be said that 95% of the divinely bestowed seeds on the mainland were found in this way.

Of course, searching in this way does not mean that it is efficient. In fact, 99.999% of Zerg warriors may not be able to find a single God-given Seed even if they search in the wild for their entire lives. It is only because the number of Zerg warriors searching in the wild is large that the probability is increased.

However, the divinely bestowed seeds found in this way, whether in terms of type or quality, cannot possibly be what the Zerg warriors desire; it is entirely random.

Besides this method, another way is to expand the territorial sea area and plant the same plant. As long as the territorial sea area is large enough, there is a chance to obtain the divine seed.

Strictly speaking, this method of obtaining the divinely bestowed seed is exactly the same as the first one.

However, compared to the randomly born divine seeds found in the wilderness, their quality and type are uncertain, and their effects and yields are also uncertain.

The plants sown in the newly opened forest are definitely carefully selected. As long as a divinely bestowed seed appears, the yield is usually several times or even ten times that of a divinely bestowed seed found in the wilderness.

Besides the two methods mentioned above, there is a third method: after the forest is opened up, mutant plants or different species of trees can be crossbred.

If a new plant variety that has never been born before appears, it may receive the blessing of the true god of nature and be blessed with a seed bestowed by the laws of nature.

"Hybridization?" The young warriors were familiar with the first two methods of finding the divinely bestowed seed, as they were recorded in their inherited memories.

But they've never actually heard of hybridization.

Master Zehui patiently explained: "Hybridization is the process of combining different varieties of fruit trees to produce larger and tastier fruit, or to cultivate enhanced attributes that are different from the original varieties. That is considered a successful hybridization."

Hybridization sounds simple, but it is actually a very complicated discipline and process that cannot be explained in a day or two.

Lord Zehui explained this subject to the young warriors bit by bit, not really expecting them to actually hybridize and produce new varieties, or obtain the divinely bestowed seeds of the laws.

According to the laws of the astral plane, any tree species that has ever appeared in the astral plane will be recorded by the laws of the astral plane.

In other words, even if a certain tree species has disappeared in the cycle of the primal force, it has never existed, so it is impossible for it to give birth to a divinely bestowed seed granted by the laws.

The Astral Plane has gone through countless cycles of reincarnation, and most of the tree species have already been cultivated by the Zerg warriors.

The probability of obtaining a divinely bestowed seed that represents the birth of a new species is extremely low.

If it weren't for this reason, it wouldn't have revealed this secret for a salary of 10 raw stones a year.

However, things aren't always absolute. There are so many different types of species with various attributes in the astral plane. Who knows if they might actually hybridize and create new species? After all, the astral plane is a place where miracles often happen.

In the third year since the Lord of Zehui Mountain came to the Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Golden Turtle tribe, according to him, this was the 3380th year of the calendar established by the Flame Spider Kingdom. He still gave lectures every morning and gave holidays in the afternoon, and everything seemed to remain unchanged.

The only difference is that some junior soldiers, after being promoted to higher ranks, go out to develop their own territories and rarely come here to attend classes anymore.

The three little ones are all four or five years old. Among them, Zihuai and Ziai have already reached the five-year-old stage, making them the older ones among the many little warriors in the same class.

As they grow older and larger, the Purple Beauty Cress no longer takes care of them as much as it did when they were young.

The rhinoceros beetle warriors were already stronger than other insectoid warriors. After advancing to the intermediate level, they could easily take on some advanced warriors who were not good at fighting.

In addition, since seven or eight junior warriors on Ziling have advanced to the intermediate level, Zizhu no longer picks them up and drops them off every day. She lets them go back and forth between Daqingfeng and Ziling to attend classes on their own. Anyway, it's within her territory, and high-level warriors often fly back and forth between the mountains, so she's not afraid of encountering any danger.

The little soldiers went to and from school together every day, and as long as they weren't late, no one bothered them.

February arrived in the blink of an eye. The chill of early spring had not yet completely faded, but the warm breeze, carrying moist air, had already swept over every inch of Xiangjiao Island.

The trees awaken from their long winter slumber, and new leaves eagerly unfurl. In just one month of accumulating strength and growth, most trees are already covered with layers upon layers of green.

Many early-blooming plants already have tiny flower buds peeking out from between the leaves, eager to burst into bloom in the spring.

On Xiangjiao Island, flowers bloom tirelessly from January to December, bringing fragrance to the island in all four seasons.

However, only February, March, and April are the golden season for the flowering and breeding of vegetation on the island.

As if by prior arrangement, the plants, which had been dormant all winter, stretched out their limbs and poured all the energy they had accumulated into their flower buds.

Waves of flowers surged across the mountains and fields, one after another: pink cherry blossoms, white pear blossoms, purple wisteria, yellow forsythia, and many wildflowers scattered about, blooming on branches, carpeting the ground, or climbing on rocks, weaving the entire island into a shimmering brocade, with even the air filled with an intensely sweet fragrance.

Zerg warriors have a penchant for planting trees and are particularly skilled at it. When they have free time, in addition to managing their own territories, they also fly into the air with plant seeds and scatter them, allowing them to grow randomly in the wild.

Every spring, the entire Xiangjiao Island is covered with all kinds of flowers, as if it has become a sea of ​​flowers.

In this season of blooming flowers, the Zerg warriors traversed the forests, streamsides, and hillsides, carefully sensing each flower and checking for any Force fluctuations.

Pink and white petals covered the gleaming carapaces of the beetle warriors, colorful butterfly warriors danced in the jungle, and mantis warriors swiftly traversed the jungle. All the insect warriors put down their work and devoted themselves to the search for the divine seed.

On the entire Xiangjiao Island, perhaps only the young soldiers, under the pressure of the Lord of Zehui Mountain's authority, would go to Daqing Peak for classes without fail.

Even so, they are easily influenced by their elders who fly around everywhere.

"Qingxing, what are you doing?"

After finishing their morning classes, the young soldiers were preparing to go home together in the afternoon. However, halfway there, they saw many elders moving through the jungle and immediately intercepted one of them.

"Oh, it's you guys. get out of class is over?"

"Yes, get out of class is over."

The young soldiers curiously observed their elders carefully examining the flowers in the jungle. "Are you searching for the seeds bestowed by the gods?"

"It's obvious."

"Did you find it?"

"Do you have any divinely bestowed seeds of tall trees?" a bunch of young soldiers asked in a flurry.

The high-ranking warrior named Qingxing shook his antennae regretfully: "The Seed of Gods is a gift from the True God of Nature. Only those lucky Zerg warriors who have gained the favor of the True God of Nature have a chance to obtain it."

The probability of a divinely bestowed seed being born in the wild is lower than imagined. As mentioned earlier, on average, only one divinely bestowed seed is born every 100 square kilometers in 100 years on a piece of land covered with trees.

That translates to only one divinely bestowed seed being born per year for every 1 square kilometers. If we factor in the probability of it being mistakenly eaten by ordinary birds, beasts, fish, and insects if it's not discovered in time, the actual yield would be even lower.

As mentioned before, some Zerg warriors have calculated that, in theory, 1800 God-given Seeds should be born every hundred years on the entire 18 square kilometers of land on Banana Island.

However, only 800 divinely bestowed seeds are born on the island every hundred years, and the actual yield is less than half of the predicted output, with many of them dying halfway through.

One of the little warriors flapped its wings excitedly: "Really? I think I'm very lucky. Maybe I've been favored by the true god of nature. Can I search together?"
