Eternal Night and the "Gluttonous Snake"

The situation in the Core Zone deteriorated far faster than Bai Zhi had expected.

Not long after he returned empty-handed from Anomaly Cemetery, the magnificent Underground Base the Ghouls had built for him began to fall apart as well.

Compared to the damaged Underground Base, however, the situation on the surface outside was even more terrifying. The earth, already riddled with ravines, cracked apart into chunks, and rocks of all sizes flew backward into the sky like meteors.

Under the continuing effects caused by Gravity Collapse, the situation in the Core Zone became even more complicated. More and more Anomalies revealed themselves amid the chaos.

Players had to abide by the laws of physics, but Anomalies did not. Without the relatively safe Shelter of the Underground Base, their circumstances had clearly become far more dangerous.

And judging from the current situation, in no more than half an hour, the once-level ground would cease to exist. In its place would be so-called Floating Islands drifting through the air.

Based on the largest chunk of land Bai Zhi and the others had spotted breaking away from the ground and floating upward like a small island, once all the land had risen, all that would remain on the ground would be a bottomless, pitch-black abyss.

The sight of looking down from the edge was much like the bottomless Void one saw after digging through bedrock in Minecraft...

But with Gravity Collapse in effect, no Player should be able to fall down there.

If this situation kept worsening, then in the end, none of the Floating Islands would
