The calamity brought by the Calamity Beast has drawn to a close.

As the village chief of Fengbai Village, Feng Pingcheng felt deeply remorseful.

If only he had been a bit more cautious and arranged for people to keep watch at night, perhaps they could have detected this disaster earlier and avoided it.

But the villagers of Fengbai Village who were lost are gone forever.

For those who remain, life must go on.

The elderly and women were responsible for repairing the damaged houses, while the men began to dissect, transport, and dry the carcasses of the Calamity Beasts.

They needed to hurry with the processing.

If too much time passed, so many carcasses would inevitably breed viruses, causing an epidemic.

Han Zhan stood at the village entrance, watching groups of busy Fengbai villagers, yet he remained immovable, lost in thought.

"Feng Pingcheng said that in the past decades, as long as they didn't enter the deep mountains, no Calamity Beasts would appear. They had never seen such a large-scale Calamity Beast rain."

"The different villages have been isolated from each other for dozens or even hundreds of years, unable to communicate, but just yesterday, the previously isolated paths were opened."

"Everything different started from yesterday, when I inserted the Bone Flute and rotated the Compass."

"It's as if there's an invisible hand behind the scenes, accelerating the entire world. Could the person behind the scenes be Fu Xi?"

Han Zhan also recalled the vague figure he saw at the altar on the mountain peak.

While pondering, a large group of people, looking disheveled, approached from the distance.

From the conspicuous splash of red on them, he could guess their identity.

The people from Flame Village?

Han Zhan noticed that the group no longer consisted of just men; there were women, elders, and children among them, dragging their families along with their belongings, resembling a great migration.

Han Zhan also saw Huo Lie, the village chief of Flame Village.

He was being pulled by the ear by a sturdy woman, muttering complaints.

"You coward, running, all you know is to run, why run?"

"Fight it out! What are you scared of? Are you even a man? Why did I choose such a coward back then?"

"So many people in our village died, and we just let it go like this?!"

Huo Lie was scolded into silence, heavily injured but not daring to retort, and waited until she was tired of scolding before cautiously responding, "Fengbai Village has Calamity Beast meat to eat, and they have a decent reserve..."

Although Huo Lie's words were soft, the woman heard them.

Instantly, her nagging voice quieted considerably.

Addressing the symptom, so they say.

Seeing it was about time, Han Zhan approached with a greeting, "Village Chief Huo Lie, what's going on here?"

Seeing Han Zhan, Huo Lie took another glance at the ground full of Calamity Beasts and his eyelids twitched violently.

Looking at Han Zhan, a more respectful expression appeared.

"There was a strange rain yesterday, and I guessed that you at Fengbai Village must have suffered greatly as well, it's just..." Just didn't expect Han Zhan to be so fierce, wiping out a huge group of Calamity Beasts at once, simply monstrous.

The woman beside Huo Lie also saw the vast number of Calamity Beast corpses, finally dispelling the last bit of doubt in her mind, no longer giving Huo Lie a hard time.

"Was Flame Village heavily hit?" Han Zhan asked seriously.

Huo Lie shook his head.

"Not really, Flame Village's rain mainly fell within the territory of the Phoenix Perch Wood. The color of the rain was very strange, completely black."

"It kept raining, and that Phoenix Perch Wood seemed to be nourished by something, suddenly growing rapidly again. Not only that, but the vines started spreading out from above."

"The original territory of the Phoenix Perch Wood was only two thousand meters, but after this rain, its territory expanded to at least ten thousand meters!"

A ten thousand meter territory range already reached Flame Village, severely threatening the daily life of Flame Village villagers.

So, Huo Lie made a decisive decision to abandon Flame Village and seek shelter with Fengbai Village.

It was absolutely not for the sake of the several bites of Calamity Beast meat that he made this decision.

Absolutely not!

However, many people from Flame Village were still emotional about moving, so the Phoenix Perch Wood, the culprit responsible for their move, became the target of their venting.

"About a dozen hot-headed youngsters and six or seven old fellows rushed in with knives to brawl with the Phoenix Wood, refusing to be stopped..."

Han Zhan: "..."

This fits their character setting well.

But even Flame Village experienced anomalies, it seems my earlier hypothesis was right.

Because of my entry, inserting the Bone Flute and rotating the Compass, the progression of the whole world was accelerated.

Time is of the essence!

With that thought, seeing Huo Lie still looking eagerly at him, Han Zhan quickly realized and said, "Welcome, welcome, Fengbai Village could not be more welcoming."

"Due to yesterday's event, Village Chief Feng is busy. Since you've decided to relocate to Fengbai Village, from now on, we're one family."

"All over the plains are the carcasses of the dead Calamity Beasts, Chief Huo Lie, you can arrange the other Flame Village people to help with dividing the Calamity Beast meat."

"Tonight, after everything's done, we'll all have a feast and eat meat together!"

Sure enough, upon hearing about eating meat, both Huo Lie and his wife's eyes lit up simultaneously.

He nodded enthusiastically, cheerfully agreeing.

"Sure thing!"

...

The Insect Race, deep within the Sea of Blood.

A giant altar platform was divided into eight sectors by bright red blood.

On each sector, lay a special object. Among these were shards of a Mirage Pearl, a dense cloud of black mist, a golden leaf...

At the center of the altar, a languid young man stood with a tall and sexy woman dressed in vivid red clothing.

The languid young man rubbed his face forcefully, seeming unable to muster any energy.

"Why hasn't it succeeded yet."

"Are these items confirmed to be the relics of those two guys? Yet we can't even locate a coordinate."

"Located." Just then, the woman spoke softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a blinding red light illuminated the entire altar, shaping it into a hexagram.

A crimson beam erupted from the hexagram array, piercing the sky and rushing towards the vast, boundless cosmos.

"It's now." The woman said to the man beside her.

The young man shrugged helplessly, "Dirty work, in the end, it still falls on me. Well, what can I do, I pamper you, my queen."

He pulled a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on, his eyes flashing with some inexplicable, mystical glow.

"Talent Ability, Lies."

"Let me see, where's your bug, Bodhi Treasure Tree."

In the next instant, the young man's figure vanished with the crimson torrent spanning the firmament.

In the Qinse World,

A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses staggered, barely steadying himself.

He looked up at an immeasurably towering ancient tree, whistling excitedly.

"Interesting."
