Chapter 587.

Josie Quinn couldn’t care less about how June Quinn ended up.

She was far too busy.

“I’ve notified all the Mutant Flora,” Lirio told Josie.”They’ll be arriving in Sierra City for a meeting in about three days. Mistress, you should come and give them a speech when the time comes!”

“Me?” Josie asked.

“Of course!” Lirio replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

“Did you call all the mutant plants in the surrounding area?” Josie questioned.

“Yeah, but I only invited the mid and high-rank Primals and Modern Species. The low-level ones aren’t worth the trouble,” Lirio answered matter-of-factly.”Besides, the low-rank ones couldn’t make the trip anyway.”

“There are so many plants out there. I can only protect the mutants. As for the ordinary trees and flowers, they’re on their own. It’s just their fate.”

Lirio was telling the truth.

There were billions of plants on the planet. Even as a top-tier mutant plant, he could only realistically summon the higher-evolved ones. The

thought it over and nodded. “Fine. We’ll meet with them.”

Cyrus Finch to come along, too,” Josie added.”It saves me the trouble of relaying the message later.”

got it!”

ree days later, Josie and Cyrus followed Lirio to the Mutant Flora base in Sierra City.

was a lush, vibrant jungle.

Why a jungle instead of a forest?

Because every single tree, vine, and even the lowliest blade of grass there was a mutant. There wasn’t a single ordinary plant in sight. They had migrated from the outside, choosing this location to carve out their own territory and establish a botanical kingdom.

Cyrus surveyed the scale of the gathering and couldn’t help but comment, “If the Interstellar Marauders weren’t coming so soon, and these plants were given enough time to develop… who knows what they could have become?”

“Plants have incredibly long lifespans. They don’t need to consume human flesh to iterate and evolve. That in itself is terrifying.”

“If the Mutant Flora were given time, neither humans nor the Undead would necessarily be a match for them.”

“Unfortunately, their greatest strength is also their greatest weakness. Time is the one thing they lack most.”

Lirio smirked at Josie.”The Undead King has a discerning eye! Exactly. Our strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. We can move, but generally-speaking, we aren’t suited for world conquest. We are, however, suited to govern the world!”

“Once Mistress conquers this world, just give them a territory and let them develop slowly.”

“I’ll keep them in line. I won’t let them invade human territory!”

“They just want to live, that’s all.”

Josie smiled.”It’s too early to talk about that. Let’s focus on facing the invaders together first.”

As they walked deeper into the jungle, countless plants instinctively moved to clear a path. They lowered their branches in a gesture of submission.

They weren’t bowing to Josie, but to Lirio, who was perched on her head. As a high-rank Primal, he was an existence that stood above all other plant life.

Although there were other Primals in the world, their evolution wasn’t nearly as fast as Lirio’s. The number of corpses Josie had fed to Lirio was measured in the millions. Combined with the radiation from two nuclear explosions, Lirio had received a massive influx of energy that no other Primal could dream of.

Just as Cyrus had said, the plant kingdom’s fate was a double-edged sword. Because their lives were so long, their evolution was typically slow. Humans had short lifespans, but their iteration speed was rapid. It was hard to say who truly had the advantage.

Lirio squatted on Josie’s head, accepting the homage of his subjects. If he weren’t currently in the form of a flower, he would have likely been puffing out his chest and standing tall with his hands on his hips, looking as majestic as possible.
