Tonight is destined to be the most unforgettable night.

On Guleng Star, within the Star Alliance base.

Countless people emerged from the buildings where they had been hiding, once again basking in the moonlight.

This was the first time since the Crimson Light disaster erupted a year ago that people could openly stand outside.

In this complex of buildings, there were many open-air spaces.

Some were originally like this, while others were created by the destruction of monsters.

However, no matter which type, tonight they welcomed many visitors.

From a Restricted Area no one dared to enter, it suddenly transformed into a moonlit bath that people were reluctant to leave.

Above the base, the Lighting Spell Light Ball that had always been hanging finally descended.

Replacing it were countless previously prepared incandescent lamps.

With the Shield from the World Tree as protection, the electrical system in this base has been restored.

Once the circuits inside the buildings are repaired, it is believed that it won't take long for things to return to how they were before.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating this.

They hadn't seen such a sight in a long time, and their past lives seemed almost forgotten.

But now, under the protection of the World Tree, they believe they are about to welcome a brand-new life.

Elsewhere, Zhang Xiaoman was still floating high above, establishing a connection with the World Tree through his mind.

He didn't immediately open the Tree Gate to bridge the two worlds but mobilized the World Tree's defensive system to start clearing the remaining mutants around the base.

Although most of the monsters had been annihilated due to the attraction of the World Tree Seed,

no one could guarantee there weren't any that escaped in such a vast area.

Fortunately, this time it was different from before.

With the World Tree's presence, finding monsters hidden within the Shield's range would be very easy.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't even need to take action himself.

He only needed to issue the command through the Star Order and then wait for the World Tree to automatically complete the cleanup.

The World Tree Clone itself has a certain level of combat power.

Dealing with these low-level mutants posed almost no pressure, even if they hid inside buildings.

Several of its roots, like a giant web, could directly move along the building's walls.

As long as these creatures were within the Shield's range, they were doomed.

The process of clearing out the monsters lasted the entire night.

The movements from the World Tree's roots passing through the buildings caused noticeable commotion, making the ground slightly tremble.

"Rumble~"

Deafening sounds would occasionally ring in their ears, like the deep roar of a giant beast.

Sometimes, the survivors could even hear the sound of buildings collapsing.

Those were some dangerous buildings, having endured the apocalypse's destruction and becoming overwhelmed long ago, finally collapsing completely at this moment.

Like this, the entire night, everyone stood by the side of the Sanctuary, looking eagerly towards the distant night sky.

Listening to the intermittent wails of the monsters in the air, waiting for dawn to arrive.

"Su Ya, are you sure it's okay for us to stand here? Will that red light reappear at dawn? Maybe we should notify everyone to take cover?"

In the Guard Team, a team member asked with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, I just confirmed with the Resident; as long as we are within this Shield area, we won't be affected by the Crimson Light."

Su Ya shook her head, speaking with absolute certainty:

"Rest assured and patrol properly, after all, everyone has come over here now, so we can't have any disturbances."

She paused for a moment, looking towards the towering World Tree, and slowly said:

"Moreover, even if you don't trust the Resident's words, can you not even trust that existence...?"

"That's the Star Lord of the Star Alliance... the level of energy they possess, we might not even be able to imagine..."

While saying this, Su Ya's thoughts unconsciously drifted to the huge plan revealed to her by the other side a month ago.

Others might not know, but Su Ya, as a Governor and Guard Captain, understood that the construction of this World Tree camp was just the beginning.

Behind all this, a more grandiose plan was quietly unfolding.

It could be said that once this plan was successfully completed, all the survivors on the Central Continent, even the entire Guleng Star, would be reborn.

This plan is the "Tunneling Worm Plan."

Although the name might not sound epic enough for what it represents,

as someone executing it, Su Ya knew this would be a plan capable of saving everyone.

She herself didn't fully understand what means the Star Lord would use to reach that step, but she chose to trust the other party.

Not only because of their formidable strength but also because this was their only hope.

Tunneling Worm.

As the name implies, it's a type of Insect.

Moreover, it excels at digging pits and burrowing.

But unlike ordinary insects, Tunneling Worms are an extraordinarily troublesome type of Exotic Beast on Guleng Star, a kind of Mutant Beast.

Adult Tunneling Worms range from two hundred to two hundred fifty meters in size, far exceeding ordinary biological standards.

Before the Crimson Light apocalypse erupted, Tunneling Worms were already ranked among the Federation's top ten most troublesome Exotic Beasts.

Their massive size was only one aspect of why they were this way.
