One day ago.

"The resistance?" Sun Dachuan had never seen the strategy guide, so naturally, he didn't know such an organization existed.

"It's the native humans of this instance, and they're also fighting against the insect swarm."

"According to the normal process of the instance, as soon as we arrived, we should have been assigned to one of the resistance camps."

"But now it seems the entire timeline of the instance has undergone massive changes."

"I hope the resistance of this world still exists."

Upon hearing this, Sun Dachuan continued to ask, "Finding the Insect Mother and finding the resistance, this instance is so big, how do we find them!"

Lin Yi: "It's the same search, but finding the resistance is much simpler."

Just now, through Lin You's brief intrusion into the insect swarm's thought network, Lin Yi had gained some understanding of the hierarchy and information transmission mechanism of the entire insect swarm.

The insect swarm civilization had some commonalities with human civilization.

That is, they both had a social system.

Among the insects, the division of labor was clear, and there were social classes.

The smallest insect individuals were akin to the most ordinary company employees.

These employees included those responsible for combat, lying eggs, and gathering intelligence.

Above them were the "Messengers."

The main duty of these insects was to receive information from those responsible for gathering intelligence, compile it, release corresponding pheromones, and finally guide the lower-level insect swarm to take action.

Above the "Messengers" were the leaders controlling each insect nest, known as "Prophet."

At the level of the Prophet, it was equivalent to a department manager in a company.

They had access to the company network.

Knowing this, Lin Yi conceived an idea—

Fight insects with insects.

"Let's go. If things go smoothly, we shouldn't need too long to find the resistance camp, and we can avoid fighting these insects along the way."

After all, endless killing of insects would only waste time.

Sun Dachuan shrugged: "You're the smart one; I'll follow you."

Half an hour later.

Lin Yi and Sun Dachuan arrived near another insect swarm hive.

This time, Lin Yi chose to let Sun Dachuan divert the insect swarm while he and Lin You launched a decapitation strike against this hive's "Prophet."

After killing the Prophet, Lin You turned it into the undead again.

It became her servant.

This time, Lin Yi instructed Lin You to avoid invading the insect swarm's thought network to gather information, but instead to thoroughly understand how the Prophet previously uploaded and downloaded information.

And how they should upload and download information now.

Lin You quickly adapted.

By retrieving part of the Prophet's memory, she quickly understood its responsibilities.

As expected, this time the "Prophet" controlled by Lin You was not kicked out from the insect swarm's thought network.

Because it continued to perform its role in overseeing the hive's insect swarm.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it was manageable.

Soon, under Lin You's control, the entire hive's "Messengers" were dominated by the Prophet.

Then the "Messengers" released a large amount of pheromones, marking Lin Yi, Sun Dachuan, and Lin You as "Allies," "Same Species."

Instantly, the countless black-scythed worker insects that were frantically attacking Sun Dachuan stopped their assault.

In an instant, Lin Yi had the Messengers release another dose of pheromones.

Designating two worker insects as "Enemies."

The next moment, the two worker insects began attacking each other.

This scene rendered Sun Dachuan stupefied.

He gave Lin Yi a thumbs up: "Mr. Lin! Amazing!"

"Master insect tamer!"

Lin Yi was also a bit excited.

The plan succeeded!

Throughout the entire afternoon, Lin Yi brought thousands of kilometers of all the "Hives" under his control.

For Lin You, it only took controlling two to three hundred "Prophets."

Compared to commanding those lord monsters of the Noah Ruins before, the pressure wasn't much greater.

Though Lin You found it somewhat strenuous, she managed.

But when the sun set and night fell, the number of insect swarms under Lin Yi's command had already reached the billions!

Then, Lin Yi dispatched the insects responsible for gathering information to search for "Human" presence within a four to five thousand-kilometer radius.

It didn't take half a day.

Lin You received the reply from the insect swarm.

"Human traces have been found in a canyon over 2,000 kilometers away from us."

Lin Yi took a long breath.

Thankfully, there were still humans surviving in this world.

And most likely, they were the native resistance of Isidna.

...

Terence looked at the insect swarm in the sky.

And the ever-approaching figure.

His heart was extremely tense.

He never really believed in the so-called "Prophecy."

Because if the prophecy were useful, what would be the point in resisting to the end.

But the current scene was almost identical to what was said in the prophecy.

This made it impossible for him to decide what to believe.

"Are you the resistance of Isidna?"

Lin Yi looked at Terence, and the ragtag group of defeated soldiers behind him, posing the question.

Terence let out a bitter smile: "Our resistance is meaningless."

"Of course it has meaning!"

"If you hadn't resisted until now, how would you have waited for me and Mr. Lin!"

"Hahaha!"

Sitting atop an insect, Sun Dachuan let out a laugh before Lin Yi could respond.

But he probably didn't even realize.

His words were like a thunderbolt striking Terence's mind.

"You must burn your final brilliance, turning into fireflies, leaping into the flames, dispersing the clouds for him, guiding the way."

He recalled this line from the prophecy.

Could it be that their long-standing resistance, although unable to save Isidna, or even their descendants,

was ultimately for this moment?

Disperse the clouds...

Guide the way...

Terence trembled all over, and with a thud, he fell to his knees, tears streaming from his eyes.

"Lord Knight of the Apocalypse!"

"We've finally waited for you!"

"Tell us, what do you want to know."

Terence's kneeling.

Immediately reignited the flame of hope in the eyes of countless members of the resistance behind him!

"Lord Tianqi!"

"He's come to save us!"

"The prophecy is true!"

"The prophecy is really happening!"

The originally lifeless resistance's Ninth Camp erupted in tears of joy, with countless people embracing and cheering!

Lin Yi was taken aback.

Prophecy, what prophecy?

Lin Yi had initially devised numerous methods to prove that he was on the side of the resistance.

But now, he found that he didn't need to.

These people seemed to unconditionally believe in him.

Because he saw it in their eyes.

It was an indescribable look...

Lin Yi finally understood why they looked at him that way.

Because he had brought them hope.

The final hope!

In this Catastrophe Era, in these darkest times.

How precious hope was!

Facing the eager gazes of countless people, Lin Yi took a deep breath and asked the question, "Tell me, where is the Insect Mother?"
