After searching on the Little Whale for a while, Wang Zhifan gathered every piece of equipment he fancied into his personal space, and then he miniaturized the now-ownerless vehicle, the Little Whale, into his pouch.

During this process, a vast amount of items from inside the Whale Ship were inevitably expelled into the ocean, including the gradually chilling corpse of that player.

"Let's go and check out the seabed passage near that coast."

Although the gains from this trip were already quite good, at least having acquired an exceptional piece of equipment, Wang Zhifan was not satisfied. He still had his mind on the endless insect army summoned by that player, believing there might be other high-quality equipment hidden elsewhere. Naturally, he intended to check out the suspected destination he had previously detected.

With the blessing of the Sea God's Eye necklace, Wang Zhifan flew swiftly to the target location, embraced by seawater. If some fishermen happened to see him, they would surely think an Immortal had descended upon the sea, for he commanded the waves to speed along.

However, since the already deceased player had chosen a remote location, Wang Zhifan did not encounter anyone on his way. When he manipulated the seawater to part and allow him to enter the seabed passage near that coast, he soon discovered that it was not what he had anticipated.

"It turned out to be a place stocked with living supplies, not even a single piece of equipment... Looks like he was prepared for a prolonged battle."

Having examined this undersea warehouse stacked with various rations, Wang Zhifan even found a freshwater spring inside, making him realize that this place was not the equipment cache he expected, but a place to replenish life resources. After all, the internal space of the Little Whale isn't very large; filling it completely with freshwater and food wouldn't last more than a few months.

Feeling a bit unwilling to give up, Wang Zhifan fully expanded his perception to explore whether there was anything hidden nearby that he had overlooked. The result was nonetheless disappointing; aside from some food and drink, he couldn't find anything noteworthy.

"Could it be that his insect summoning relied on skills? Did the Heart of Dominion necklace lift the limit on the number of summons?"

By this point, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but speculate this, which also indicated that finding more gains was very unlikely.

As Wang Zhifan was feeling somewhat disappointed, thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away, some time ago, the tides of battle were changing radically in multiple battlegrounds.

For instance, in a battlefield north of Huang Country, tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers from Feng Country were engaged in intense combat with an encountered insect swarm. Since these troops were not elite forces like God Stone Soldiers or Dragon Riders, despite their valiant efforts, they swiftly fell into disadvantage. Nevertheless, they chose to fight to the death with their opponents.

Because the insect swarms were not human, they were brutal and uncommunicative, so much so that ordinary Feng Country Army couldn't even flee. These insights were gained from recent multiple encounters Feng Country Army had with such foes.

However, just as this unremarkable Feng Country Army was about to be completely overwhelmed by the brutal assault of the insect swarm, an unexpected situation occurred: all the insects they were fighting with began to quickly dissipate like smoke, disappearing completely into the air within a few blinks, leaving no traces of extra blood or debris, as if their prior existence was merely an illusion.

"What happened?!"

"Oh mother! How come all these monsters disappeared?!"

"Hahaha! We survived!"

...

After a brief shock, the entire army's survivors fell into a euphoria of having escaped death, for the enemies vanished in the blink of an eye, life's greatest surprise indeed.

Yet what these people didn't know was the same situation didn't just occur with them; all other Feng Country Armies in battle encountering insect units found their enemies vanished in an instant, drastically reducing, or even eliminating the pressure they were under.

Only the armies composed of ordinary Huang Country people didn't notice much change, but their situation would soon radically transform as well.

Because Huang Country relied heavily on the endless insect army to exhaust Feng Country Army in this war, keeping the fight at a stalemate or even suppressing them. Once this gigantic advantage was lost, Huang Country's defeat was inevitable, especially when discovering their military leadership fell into command chaos, thereby accelerating the collapse and putting an end to this grand warfare.

Thus, merely seven days later, Wang Zhifan, having returned to the front line to support his troops, noticed that his forces progressed extremely rapidly, pushing the front lines directly from small countries into Huang Country's territory. The coordinated generals exterminated Huang Country's elite Artillery Army, while players who sided with Huang Country were pushed to retreat under the army's assistance; Huang Country was in a complete avalanche.

However, even at this stage, no significant figures from Huang Country stepped forward to organize a surrender, because many of their key leaders had been eliminated by Wang Zhifan, plunging the country into unorganized chaos.

This caused Wang Zhifan's quest for dominance to take roughly half a month longer. When his army successfully seized several important cities in Huang Country, including the capital, and decimated Huang Country's army to a tenth of its original size, local leaders of the country surrendered to Wang Zhifan's forces one after another, making a vast part of Huang Country Feng Country's territory and partitioning the rest into multiple subordinate small nations, completely integrating them into Feng Country's rising sphere of influence.
