Chapter 609: Chapter 595: The Grand Era
The rift opened, ultimately concluding with the victory of the Skeleton Warriors.
Although the scale was only one-tenth of the previous, tens of thousands of insects emerged. Those disgusting creatures never anticipated that instead of devouring delicious human flesh, they themselves became the energy source for others.
After absorbing the blood of tens of thousands of insects, more than a hundred Skeletons mutated, achieving the power of Bronze. Instantly, the strength of the Skeleton Legion increased once more.
The Undead, originally an existence that defied life, in the Bone Plain, could only devour Soul Fire, so their advancement was naturally slow. But in the Human World, they could not only absorb souls but also consume blood plasma for energy, doubling their advancement speed!
Chen Feng was initially somewhat troubled by this rift. However, now he wished for more insect descents. The blood and souls belonged to the Skeleton Warriors, and the cleansed meat was rewarded to the common people. What is dedication? This is dedication!
The insects’ invasion won’t cease, but everytime the insects descended, it was a moment of harvest for the gorge gate!
This was a positive cycle!
The insects used their flesh and souls to strengthen the Skeleton Warriors.
The destruction of Skeletons was not terrifying. As long as they weren’t swallowed, the Undead Mage could recast spells, and new Skeleton Warriors would regenerate. Moreover, with the power of Bronze, Skeletons mastered self-repair techniques. Even if they lost bones on the battlefield, they would automatically seek, assemble, and create a new body for themselves!
Chen Feng’s ultimate goal was to build this place into a small Bone Plain. By then, once insects descended, they would face countless, endless Skeletons!
Moreover, besides Skeletons, there was also a human army stationed nearby. With various defenses, unless Legendary Creatures personally arrived, the insects couldn’t rise!
Chen Feng’s ambition was unmistakable. He surprisingly wanted to turn waste into treasure, exploiting this rift like a harvesting ground, collecting terrifying insects like livestock!
Of course, Chen Feng wouldn’t be complacent about this. He’s well aware that as time progresses, the rift would gradually enlarge. In a few years, when the rift completely shatters, even Legendary Strongmen might appear!
By then, even the Skeleton Warriors could be overwhelmed by the insect swarm, as there were too many deadly strong entities among them!
An Insect King wasn’t frightening, but when tens of thousands of insects emerged, who knows how many Insect Kings and Insect Emperors there are in the Insect Realm, which had developed for countless years?
It’s uncertain whether Epic-level existences might appear! These are all unknown!
Precisely because of knowing all these, Chen Feng needs to grow as quickly as possible. Only when the professionals and the Skeleton Legion become stronger can they withstand this disaster.
Apart from this, Chen Feng himself and his Summoned Beasts need to find ways to enter the Legendary level. By then, they can gain enough benefits in this new calamity and avoid perishing!

The coast.
Ten ships of survivors were fully loaded, and preparations for long-distance travel were complete.
Compared to residential areas, the gorge gate was more suitable to become a training ground. Therefore, the surrounding survivors had to find ways to transport back to Order when the insect swarm completely erupts.
Strength needs consolidation.
As Chen Feng ventured outside more, he realized more clearly that Order was practically a blessed land!
Having lived in the city for so long in the previous life, besides small-scale rifts, phenomena like merging with the Insect Realm never appeared.
In such a situation, Chen Feng certainly understood the preciousness of Order. As long as no internal problems arose, they could naturally mobilize more strength to defend against the outside.
Chen Feng’s goal was to concentrate the population together, leaving only a few lookout stations. The rest of the population would gather together.
Currently, Order’s strength is still too scattered. Chen Feng would order Wei Xun and Xu Hongzhuang to consolidate the strength. By then, it would be like a fist, delivering a heavy blow to the enemy at once!
Survivors sat on ships gazing at the gorge gate. For them, this might be the last time to witness this homeland filled with memories and pain. For a moment, everyone was filled with mixed feelings.
This time, over seven thousand people were transported, which, compared to the entire gorge gate, was akin to a drop in the bucket. But fortunately, there’s some time left until the complete eruption of the Insect Realm. Also, the ships for Order are under construction. This time there are only ten ships; next time, there might be twenty or even thirty!
...............
Three days later.
Morning.
Chen Feng was in his room reading documents when suddenly outside, a violent wind rose, like a typhoon about to arrive, uprooting some of the smaller trees.
At the same time, the sea surface surged, countless fish and shrimp leaping out of the water, and on the shore, the lurking insects seemingly sensed something, disregarding the danger of being captured by humans, popped their heads out one after another, as if expecting something.
The strange situation persisted for a while. Just around noon, Chen Feng suddenly felt that the energy in the air had suddenly become more dense, its concentration even more than doubled!
"An energy storm, it’s finally happening!" Chen Feng stood by the window, taking a deep breath, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow.
Energy storm.
In the face of this storm, the apocalypse, this new era, will be elevated to a whole new height!
The eastern sky brightened, a red sun leapt out from behind the indigo mountains, and the long page finally welcomed the light of dawn. The world will usher in a second transformation!
When the apocalypse first descended, it caused the emergence of zombies, the birth of the Insect Race, and beast tides. And now, when the energy suddenly increases by a factor of two, for this world, it will be another massive shock!
Humans find it easier to awaken successfully.
This will be a magnificent era, full of upheaval and change.
From this moment on, humanity will embark on a brand new path, completely opposite to the era of technology.
This era is a new epoch, cruel, bloody, with all kinds of fierce battles and wars being staged everywhere. Humanity is constantly facing the huge crisis as big as the threat of Mount Tai, sometimes even a deep breath is a luxury.
However, humanity has also gained unimaginable advantages, various mysterious abilities and professionals have taken the stage of history!
It is due to the emergence of new power that allows humans to barely survive the future outbreaks of the insect tides and zombie tides. Of course, this new power also brings an inflated ambition, and humanity’s inherent flaws are destined to make them kill each other, like boiling beans.
More terrifying is that not only humans are the beneficiaries, but those insects, zombies, and beasts will also reap the benefits of this energy storm. In the face of such abundant energy, they will also mutate, perhaps even gradually evolve their own civilization like the creatures in the Insect Realm!
The appearance of energy has both pros and cons; if only the world under our feet changes, the impact on humanity isn’t significant. But this energy is too rich, and for other planes, it is simply a dreamland.
Moreover, with the erosion of this energy, the Dimension Wall will become increasingly thin, and by that time, similar events to the Insect Realm could appear all over the world.
Plane fusion.
The Human World is like a transit point. Worlds from other planes will try every means to merge into it. By then, humans will not only have to face mutated zombies and insects, but they must also be wary of the various races coming with intrigue and conquest!
Great Era.
This will be a truly great era!
The prelude of the struggle among a hundred races has been opened. In the face of this new era, as the weak, our destiny is only to be conquered, with no means of resistance!
Strength must be enhanced!
Chen Feng is clear that only by reaching the Legendary level and leveraging the power of Demons and Dark Elves can one have the strength to fight against other races; otherwise, the only path is to wait for death!
Moreover, besides the planes, Demon Fruit also exists in this world.
No one knows from which part of the starry sky this strange fruit drifted, containing powers that defy all logic. As long as one consumes a piece, the body and soul will undergo incredible transformations!
However, these fruits are extremely scarce, and they come in peculiar shapes and various forms, so even if ordinary people obtain one, few would dare to swallow it down their throats.
As a result, there are very few lucky ones who truly awaken because of this. Compared to the billions of people in this world, perhaps only a few hundred have such an opportunity.
It’s like a lottery; with just a few bucks or a dozen, someone could naturally win, but the astronomical figure of five million is something most people have only seen in the news!
Treasures like the Demon Fruit are practically beyond reach!
Many planes merging brings not only disasters but opportunities, interspersed with treasures beyond human imagination. Many civilizations intertwining together, even an ordinary person with nothing to their name might suddenly rise as the favored one, ruling with dominance!
"Hmm..."
As Chen Feng was deep in thought, suddenly his chest tightened, a pressure appeared in his heart, originating from the East! He hurriedly looked ahead, only to see a small flashing point of light in the East, twinkling like a diamond, leaving no room for the eyes to move away.
"Could it be another plane?"
"No!" Chen Feng shook his head, "I wield the Power of Faith and am extremely sensitive to the power of life. Even hundreds of miles apart, if there was a being, I would certainly sense it immediately. But this time, all that emanated was decay, a feeling like a withered tree, with the trunk already rotted through!"
"Could it be..." Chen Feng paused, somewhat disbelievingly, "Could it be a fallen plane, a world completely obliterated, with no trace of life remaining!"
