The Deep Blue God-Given Seed, just like the last time, turned blue-green and then showed no signs of activity. It wasn't until the end of autumn, one night, without any warning, that it suddenly began absorbing a large amount of Origin Force, entering the final stage of maturation.
Having experienced this before, Dragon Cypress had anticipated it. He stayed by the pond at night to be the first to notice, communicating with the Dominating Throne to replenish its Origin Force.
Giant Cypress and Spiked Cypress led the Soldier Ants to secure the pond, forming three layers of defense both inside and out.
Round Cypress also brought Worker Ants to join in the excitement, clustering here and there in a large, dark mass.
As dawn was just breaking, the early-riser Ink Orchid noticed something amiss at the Ant Nest. She immediately guessed the reason and hurried over.
At dawn, facing the sunrise, the blue-green fruit swiftly turned blue, then deep blue, then blue-black.
