As earthquakes struck more and more frequently, many small bases began merging with larger ones.
The current struggle was one between different factions within Great Xia. Though survival of the fittest was the underlying rule, they would not wipe each other out completely, so small bases still had room to survive.
But if the struggle became one between humans and alien races, those people would show no mercy. Once a weak human settlement was surrounded, few would likely survive.
More and more ability users also sensed the crisis, and increasing numbers entered the Abyss.
Many others even camped near the Abyss entrance in pursuit of rapid mutation.
However, after staying near the entrance for too long, many ability users underwent uncontrollable mutations and became half-human, half-plant creatures.
