At this moment, Shisui was completely unaware of the Insect Mother's troubles and her unrealistic counterattack plan.

However, even if he knew all this, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.

It's important to understand that there's a significant difference in strength between the Heaven-Controlling Realm at the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

As long as the Insect Mother subconsciously still uses the Heaven-Controlling Realm as her own perception as her hypothetical enemy.

And based on this, they conceive new offspring.

Therefore, there can only be one final outcome: becoming the prey of the Shisui.

At this very moment, Shisui, who was in Chen City, gently flapped his wings, and a Space Rift appeared.

Hundreds of thousands of Flesh Crystals surged into the enormous gaping hole in the Alternate Space like a flood bursting its banks.

Just three seconds later, Shisui's figure disappeared.

All that remains in this area is the Wunu River, whose course has widened considerably, and a desolate wasteland.

In the southern part of the Moonfall Continent, in an underground Insect Hive.

Located hundreds of meters below the ground, this place seems like a world forgotten by time.

The Beastfolk habitat, specifically the portion of the Insect Hive, is composed of nearly 100,000 caves of varying sizes and a vast network of interconnected passageways.

At first glance, it resembles a giant underground labyrinth.

Those Beastfolk who fled from the main settlement of the Lantiao Continent are now settled in this underground world.

Their numbers were quite considerable from the start.

Furthermore, as time went on, the Insect Race also gradually absorbed some of the Orcs from the Moonfall Continent's Myriad-Blade Rainforest Beastfolk.

Due to their large number, each cave typically houses four to six Beastfolk.

Despite the appalling living conditions underground, the Beastfolk only complained occasionally and did not choose to leave.

After all, they were all very clear that they had lost the protection of the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Given the current situation, leaving here would be tantamount to suicide.

The Human Race will not let them go, and the Demon Race also has old grudges against them.

Only the Insect Race would accept them out of respect for the deceased Beast King.

Although life underground is not comfortable, at least it is relatively safe and stable.

However, what these Beastfolk were unaware of was...

The security and stability they cherish are now about to be shattered.

"Barton! Someone's looking for you!"

Upon hearing his name called, the elderly Beastfolk, his body somewhat hunched over, stood up shakily, leaning on his cane.

He is the oldest living Beastfolk.

His advanced age of nearly two hundred years caused his original Heaven Realm Second Realm to drop to the Earth Realm Ninth Realm.

In terms of ability, he is indeed not qualified to be the interim leader.

However, it is precisely because of his old age, coupled with his experience of the great war a century ago when he was young, that he has been able to achieve his goals.

Therefore, the Beastfolk, each unwilling to submit to the others, unanimously chose Barton to take charge.

Barton did not disappoint.

He is indeed old, but he is still quite healthy and handles things in an orderly manner.

He has now managed the underground settlements quite well.

Barton walked for half a minute before finally reaching the cave entrance from the small living room.

He pushed open the door and went out.

Outside the door stood a young, tall Beastfolk.

When he saw Old Barton come out, he took a small step back and then bowed to show his respect.

Old Barton was a man of action who spoke his mind, so he immediately asked the question.

Is there something you need?

"The Insect Mother has sent a summons through a messenger."

The young Beastfolk presented the Insect Mother's decree with both hands.

Old Barton took the summons and, without even returning to the cave, immediately opened it and began reading.

The content is very simple.

The gist is this: the Insect Race have been targeted by the Heaven-Controlling Realm who previously killed the Beast King in the Lantiao Continent, and the Insect Mother plans to relocate again.

The Insect Mother planned to bring the Beastfolk along, so she came to give advance notice, hoping the Beastfolk would assemble as soon as possible.

After reading it, Old Barton couldn't help but remark on the Insect Mother's righteousness.

The Insect Mother has been a partner of the Beastfolk for over a century.

Over the years, neither side has ever betrayed the other.

Therefore, Old Barton made his decision without hesitation.

"Go and inform everyone that everyone must gather in the largest plaza on the upper level before 12 noon tomorrow."

"Yes."

The young Beastfolk agreed and immediately turned to leave to inform the other Beastfolk.

The Insect Mother's senses permeated the entire underground Insect Hive.

She naturally "saw" this scene within the Beastfolk settlement as well.

She averted her senses, seemingly reluctant, or perhaps feeling guilty.

"This isn't my fault."

A low, murmuring sound emanated from the Insect Mother.

It seems that this gathering of the Beastfolk is not for any relocation.

And that is indeed the case.

The reason the Insect Mother gathered these Beastfolk was not actually to evacuate Beastfolk.

Rather, it was to collect more flesh and blood.

Not long ago, her descendants who had been sent abroad suffered another brutal massacre.

A large number of Insect Race offspring perished, harvested and taken away by Shisui.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Insect Mother.

These children were not all carefully raised by her, but they still took a lot of time and energy to raise.

Therefore, the Insect Mother was quite distressed.

But there's nothing we can do; after all, Shisui can teleport remotely.

Therefore, it is futile for the Insect Race armies to be separated by great distances.

In terms of traveling, the Insect Mother had no way to Shisui in any way to delay him.

Moreover, the enemy's Radiant Feathers are spread all over the world, making them impossible to defend against and impossible for insects to escape.

In a desperate attempt to make up for the energy deficit, the Insect Mother turned her attention to the Beastfolk.

She saved this group of Beastfolk and then raised them for more than half a year, which is already more than enough.

The Insect Mother felt that the Beastfolk should be grateful to her.

Therefore, it's normal for her to ask for a small reward.

Moreover, hunting down that Ghoul and avenging the Beast King is also the responsibility of the Beastfolk.

Now that they have the opportunity to have their flesh extracted and incorporated into her revenge plan, the Beastfolk might even have to thank her.

After some self-persuasion, the last bit of reluctance and hesitation in the Insect Mother's heart finally vanished.

Her mind returned to peace.

Next, while the Ghoul headed towards the Zi City, she needed to find a way to collect more flesh and blood.
