Cultivation
After the worms were done putting out the fire they began to assemble at the bottom of the mother tree. They were waiting for the mother tree to make a speech, Luke was nervous.
'Holy shit, holy shit, I'm gonna have to speak in front of all of these people, I haven't spoken to people in like 10 years, and I really can't mess this up. Ok Luke you got this just tell them what's gonna happen.'
"Ahem."
The crowd of worms started to stop talking and listen.
"As you all know, I am the mother tree. I gave life to you worms, and now I am here to help you begin a new, vast, strong, and most of all, safe civilization. As your leader, I have decided that we will be making new laws to protect our citizens and our country, I will not state these now but at a further time. I will create a great government of the strong and righteous, and we shall create a place for you all, together. As long as you follow me, WE SHALL PREVAIL!"
It was bad, and Luke knew it, but from the combination of the worm's intelligence level and his worm attractiveness, all of the worms were cheering and enjoyed it.
"Now get to work so we can come back to where we were before the ants attacked, and so we can go above what we were beforehand."
Then all of the worms scattered into their groups, the construction workers went and started to rebuild what was lost in the war, and the scavengers started to go into the forest to scavenge for food.
"I need the basic soldiers and elite soldiers to stay behind."
Eventually, everyone besides the basic soldiers and elite soldiers scattered to different areas to do their work.
"Listen up soldiers, I need the scouts to step forward."
About 12 soldiers went to the front of the crowd.
"I need you to tell me everything about this landscape and what territories are where, also how big the forest is."
The only remaining elite scout stood up and started to talk.
"We are on the middle west part of the forest, above us and the right it wolf territory, there are only insects below us, and to our right is the bear territory, The forest isn't that big only an average-sized one, but we are minuscule compared to it."
"Thank you, I need some time to plan our next move and we need some time to regain our number, you can all go."
The last remaining worms started to leave the area, and Luke started to ponder.
'I wonder what I should do, well all I can do now is wait for the army to regrow.'
__________
In a place near Luke's area, 2 men in a security office.
"Dude did you see that energy rating it's going wild."
"Is this your first time on the job? Things like this happen all the time, probably just another territorial dispute between the animals."
"Yea your probably right."
Little did the other guy know, that if he were to look at the energy rating instead of eating his sandwich, he would be so surprised he would spit it all back up.

It wasn't that long after his talk with the worms that Luke started to feel something was wrong.
'Why do I feel as though I'm forgetting something important, lets check my status to make sure.'
'Status.'

Luke then noticed a new tab next to his general tab.
'What is this? Does it say cultivation? Oh, yea I almost forgot I got some strange things from evolving last time.'
Luke then clicked on the cultivation tab.

'Huh? I remember now, I can turn worms into qi which looks like I need to grow stronger, but how will I get a worm to sacrifice themselves... Whatever ill just pick one up and suck him in, do I feel bad? Of course not, I made them so I could get stronger in the first place so why should I feel bad about doing what I was planning on in the first place.'
Luke then saw a scavenger and since they were the most common worm right now he didn't think it would hurt his army.
Luke then used the method on a scavenger not far from him and the worm very slowly got fatter and fatter until it burst into what looked to be a gas, and then the gas went right to the mother tree and got sucked in.

'The host has gathered enough Qi to breakthrough into the 1st Spirit Beginner realm, would the host like to?'
'I think this is a good thing so why not.'
'I accept.'
'Processing...Done, Congrats you are now in the 1st Spirit Beginner realm.'
Luke then felt a rush of energy coursing through him, it felt addicting.
'Oh, I could get used to this.'
'Status, Cultivation.'
