The Dominating Throne infused the Deep Blue God-Given Seed with Origin Force for a mere ten seconds before the process ended. The Deep Blue God-Given Seed also stopped absorbing Origin Force. Under the astonished gaze of Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid, the fruit, originally blue-green, rapidly turned blue, then deep blue, and finally a dark, blackish-azure.
At twilight, a rich, Ling Chong-intoxicating fruity fragrance burst forth, quickly spreading.
Ink Orchid asked, "Is it ripe?"
"Not sure..." Dragon Cypress murmured.
He then asked Azure, "Azure, is the fruit ripe?"
??? Azure sent back a thought filled with confusion.
Dragon Cypress rephrased, "Azure, is the fruit still absorbing your Origin Force and nutrients?"
Azure replied, "It doesn't seem to be..."
That meant it was ripe. It's ready! Pick! Dragon Cypress decided. He shrank the Dominating Throne, stood on it alone, floated beneath the leaves, and quickly picked all 62 fruits one by one.
