Astral Gods

Chapter 54 Distribution of Profits

Upon hearing Zizhu bring up this topic, Lord Zili's expression turned somewhat somber. In the Astral Plane, almost all the God-given Seeds that Zerg warriors find in the wilderness will spontaneously gestate into Life Seeds.

Unless the Zerg warrior who finds the God-given Seed has entered old age and has no hope of further evolution, the God-given Seed will be given to a younger generation or sown to become a wild God-given Seed, bringing lasting wealth and benefits to the tribe.

Zishan is currently only an intermediate warrior; it's still a child, so the situation described above doesn't apply to it.

However, there is a situation that we are facing now: the yew's life sac is already able to nurture ordinary plant seeds into divinely bestowed seeds, so is it still necessary for it to include this divinely bestowed seed in its life sac for nurturing?

Doing this would not only waste a slot that a yew tree could use to nurture life, but also waste a divinely bestowed seed.

In such a small tribe, a divinely bestowed seed is already a great treasure, and no one can easily ignore it.

Lord Purple Plum countered, "Purple Pearl, you are their direct elder. Do you have any good plans or suggestions?"

Zizhu suggested, "Shall we entrust this divinely bestowed seed of red cherry to Zihuai or Ziai to nurture into a life-giving seed?"

Lord Purple Plum swayed his tentacles, not thinking it was a smart idea.

Putting aside the momentous matter of gifting a divinely bestowed seed, would Zishan agree to it? Would she regret it in the future?

Now, there's only one divinely bestowed seed. For the two brothers, Zi Huai and Zi Ai, who should receive this divinely bestowed seed? This is a big problem.

If we give it to Zihuai, won't Ziai be unhappy?

If Zi Ai were given the message, what would Zi Huai think?

This is an unsolvable problem; no matter what you do, it's not appropriate.

Lord Zili thought for a moment, then gathered the three little warriors to his side and said, "Zishan, Zihuai, and Ziai, I've watched you three grow up. Four or five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you've all advanced to intermediate warriors. There are some things I originally wanted to tell you later, but now I have to say them."

Lord Zili turned his gaze to Zishan: "Zishan, you were different from others even before you were born, which has attracted our attention."

Our guess was correct; your life sac is naturally capable of bearing divinely bestowed seeds. This is a blessing from the true God of Nature and the hope for the rise of our Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe. Therefore, there are some things I want to emphasize to you.”

"You were able to nurture an ordinary seed into a divinely bestowed seed during your initial warrior stage, which is a rare miracle in the entire astral plane. However, you must also know that during your infancy, it would be difficult for a single insect like you to supply the seeds in your life sac to advance into divinely bestowed seeds."

During your growth phase, your two older brothers expended tremendous effort to nurture the seed of life within your life sac. Even during your subsequent advancement stages, without their support, you might not have even reached the intermediate level. In this respect, your two older brothers deserve great credit.

"Secondly, I would like to address the second point: as you grow, the number of divinely bestowed seeds you nurture will only increase, which will bring you substantial benefits."

It can be said that you will definitely become the most elite and wealthiest Zerg warrior in the future.

However, a problem also arises: the divinely bestowed seeds occupy a vast area and are spaced far apart. We are not bees or ants; you, a single insect, simply cannot care for so many divinely bestowed seeds. The purple acacia and purple artemisia can also communicate with your life seed; you could say the three of you are one.

"Based on this, although your life seed is produced through your life sac, it is also supported by the Force of your two older brothers. Therefore, I believe that after the benefits of your God-given life seed are generated in the future, your two older brothers should also receive a share."

After listening to Lord Zili's words, Zishan shook its antennae without hesitation: "This is only right. The True God of Nature endowed me with the ability to nurture the seed in my life sac into a divinely bestowed seed, and also granted us three insects the ability to merge our primal forces into one, so that we can work together to help the life seed transform. The divinely bestowed life seed can also communicate with us. This is the arrangement of the True God of Nature!"

Hearing what Zishan said, Lord Zili and Zizhu smiled with relief. What they feared most was raising a selfish insect.

Selfishness does not mean that one should generously give up all one's own interests without compensation. Rather, it means that one cannot see the help others give to one, takes everything for granted, and may even greedily plunder all resources.

Once these insects grow up, they will not only be of no help to the tribe, but will also drag the tribe into the abyss.

They had watched the yew trees grow up from a young age, and they didn't think the yew trees were this kind of insect, but they were still very pleased to hear its answer.

"I'm glad you think that way, Zishan."

Lord Zili continued, "I also have two methods for distributing the profits from your life seeds."

The first method is to allocate 10% of your future seed production profits to both the Purple Locust and the Purple Artemisia.

This way, you will have ample resources to grow and evolve. Purple locust and purple artemisia have their own life seeds to produce, and with the 10% of the profits you give them, it's equivalent to having insects with life seeds bestowed by the gods.

The second method is to settle all the profits from the three insect species together, and then Purple Locust and Purple Artemisia each get 20%.

Zishan thought for a moment, then looked at her two older brothers: "I choose the second method of distributing the profits, but your combined share will be increased to 30%. What do you think?"

After a moment's thought, Zi Huai replied, "The second method of distributing the profits is acceptable, but it would be too much for us. Your evolution will be much more difficult than ours, requiring more resources. Let's distribute it according to Lord Zi Li's suggestion of a 6:2:2 ratio!"

Zishan wanted to continue, and Zi Ai also said, "A 20% profit is already a lot. If we all advance to the Lord level, you will have 36 Divine Life-Giving Seeds produced."

In total, we essentially produced 7 Divine Life Seeds and 29 ordinary Life Seeds. Most Zerg warriors on the Astral Plane couldn't possibly achieve this level of yield.

After thinking for a moment, the yew tree didn't argue about the profit distribution. It waved its antennae and said, "Let's settle on this distribution plan for now. We'll adjust the specifics based on the future profits from the seed's output, trying to maximize the profits!"

Lord Zili remained silent. He could only offer a suggestion; the specific distribution was up to them to avoid future disputes.

After watching the three brothers divide the profits, it continued, "If you split the total profits equally, things will be much easier."

This divinely bestowed seed can be given to either the Purple Locust or the Purple Artemisia to grow into a life-giving seed; everyone will share in the profits anyway.

Zizhu, who was standing nearby, suddenly thought of something: "Lord Zili, I suddenly have a question. When Qingzhujia King said that our Zerg warriors could use life sacs to nurture ordinary seeds and elevate them to the level of life seeds, which is equivalent to raising the seed level from 0 to 1."

Wild divinely bestowed seeds are at level 2 or 3, but if nurtured by our own destiny seeds, they can be elevated to level 3 or 4.

Unlike ordinary Zerg warriors, the yew's life sac can directly raise the level of a regular seed from 0 to 2, essentially reaching the level of a wild, divinely bestowed seed.

"If the yew tree were to nurture the divinely bestowed seed into a life-giving seed, could its quality be upgraded from 3 to 5 or 6?"

"Click,"

"Click."

The insects, who had been happy, immediately froze.
