"Notification: You have activated ' Time Scroll ' and are entering the ' 6th Historical Realm '..."

"You've arrived in Lead Gray Town!"

The slight discomfort was fleeting.

Let's put away the Time Scroll.

Roger opened his eyes.

But all he saw was a dark, oppressive scene! The place he was in appeared to be the ruins of a human structure.

However, the contents of the ruins are no longer discernible.

Because it was covered with trillions of Star-Eating Demon Worms! I only glanced at it.

Roger's heart skipped a beat—

He underestimated the power of Kansas' Face Saliva! In such a short time.

The Star-Eating Demon Worms it spawned have multiplied to this extent.

The already weak civilization of the 6th Historical Realm was simply no match for this level of insect plague! Roger was seeing now was a scene of utter devastation! The 6th Historical Realm seemed to have no connection whatsoever with the name "Lead Gray Town".

Looking across this world.

All that's left are stones, demonic insects, and the debris and slime left behind by the passing insect swarms!

Everything else was swept away by these horrible monsters!

water.

plant.

Wooden buildings.

Even metal products...

Things related to civilization.

They were all completely devoured by the Star-Eating Demon Worms!

In the blink of an eye.

Roger then determined the habits of these insects—

"They eat everything except stones!"

"Even when you're hungry, stones aren't off-limits!"

Click, click!

A sickeningly loud chewing sound came from not far away.

Roger looked closely.

It turned out to be a large Star-Eating Demon Worms gnawing on a thick suit of armor!

This guy has an extremely strong bite force.

Its digestive and absorptive capacity is also outrageous.

A complete suit of armor.

It swallowed it whole in about 20 seconds.

Another 15 seconds passed.

Its drooping belly decisively tightened upwards.

It returned to its pre-eating state.

15 more seconds.

It has grown a little in size.

The outer shell has also evolved a silver-white coating!

"Hint: You have discovered ' Star-Eating Demon Worms Soldier (Elite)'..."

"Ascension Perception: You have noticed that the 'Private's' overall Defense Value has increased by 8 points..."

"Such exaggerated evolutionary ability..."

Roger's expression tightened.

He instantly flashed past.

He raised his hand and unleashed the Taiyi Separating Fire Blade!

With Roger's current magnanimity and the bonuses from the Qi Refiner template,

The power of the Taiyi Separating Fire Blade is naturally greater than before.

This soldier was one of the best among the demonic insects.

But there was no way to withstand the power of that strike!

In an instant.

The car-sized worm's shell split open on the spot.

Only flickering flames remained.

"Hint: You have killed the ' Star-Eating Demon Worms Soldier'."

"You've acquired a special skill from 'Private': Amazing Saliva."

"Wonderful saliva: After unlocking this specialization."

"A viscous fluid powerful enough to Corrosion a star's core will be secreted from between your teeth..."

I glanced at it briefly.

Roger then understood how the Star-Eating Demon Worms possessed the ability to contend with a theoretically indestructible star core.

He grimaced and tried it.

Some properties of this mucus have been preliminarily confirmed.

First and foremost, it is highly targeted.

Tested.

Roger confirmed that the substance was Corrosion.

But strangely enough...

This Corrosion is not noticeable when in contact with ordinary substances.

It was only when confronting the planet's core that it seemed to have divine assistance.

This targeted approach reminded Roger of "Aether Dragon Eater".

Generally speaking

The highly targeted monsters are all artificially bred.

Considering the origins of the Kansas' Face".

Roger even suspected that the Star-Eating Demon Worms was a monster bred by the Vortex Clan!

After all, Quinan had betrayed them.

It would be utterly ridiculous to assume that Vortex Creature have no brains.

Secondly, they are difficult to preserve.

Roger tried it.

This mucus will become ineffective in less than 15 seconds after being scraped out from between your own teeth.

It's the same even if you put it in a glass container.

Roger even tried the pen holder that contained the Jade Phoenix True Fire.

It's useless.

This also dissuaded him from stockpiling a batch of slime for later use.

After confirming the above two points.

Roger shut down that weird and disgusting skill almost immediately.

Immediately afterwards.

He continued his journey through the almost vanished ruins without stopping.

After casually eliminating a number of demonic insects.

Roger realized that what he saw at first glance was actually an illusion—

The number of Star-Eating Demon Worms distributed on the ground is actually not large.

What he initially saw were extremely realistic remains of demonic insects.

The appearance of the remains further corroborates the evolutionary characteristics of the demonic insect.

This also increased Roger's perception of the threat level posed by this monster.

He spent two hours walking through every corner of the Lead Gray Town.

Ultimately, we received a very disappointing answer—

Just as he had guessed.

The entire 6th Historical Realm has been completely transformed into a hive of insects.

Everything except for anything related to the demonic insects has vanished.

It could be said that this place is even worse than the "Ten Desolations Scorched Earth"! Roger couldn't even find the key to this Historical World! He even suspected that the thing had been eaten by insects!

Fortunately, with the help of the Ultimate Hunter.

Roger followed the clues and found the underground space located in the core zone of the 6th Historical Realm —the "Man-Eating Cave"!...

The Man-Eating Cave is an underground space that was not formed naturally.

Roger was greeted by a welcoming party of the Star-Eating Demon Worms as soon as he entered.

The brothers' enthusiasm.

Roger certainly couldn't let him down.

He immediately pulled out the Ten Thousand Year Glazed Lamp and began a rampage of destruction!

It has to be said.

Magical artifacts are really useful.

Aside from the fact that it requires a lot of air to start up.

Once started, this thing is fully automatic.

Wherever Roger went.

The Evil-Exterminating Divine Light will lead you there.

He was in charge of developing the blueprints.

The task of monster hunting was entirely left to the glass lamp.

In this way...

Efficiency naturally increased significantly.

Roger's purpose in coming here was not to grind monsters.

His thinking was very clear.

Based on the number of demonic insects in the 6th Historical Realm.

It's more than enough to fill both progress bars.

therefore.

There are two things he needs to guard against—

Firstly.

Cut off the route between the 6th Historical Realm and the star core.

To prevent the Star-Eating Demon Worms from attacking the star core again.

After all, this is no joke.

Once the star's core is eroded.

The entire Mystra Planet is about to be plunged into a massive upheaval.

Roger's still-warmed Star Master Authority will be greatly diminished!

Secondly.

The goal is to sever all routes the Star-Eating Demon Worms takes towards other historical realms! Lead Gray Town is now history.

Roger cannot allow other Historical World to repeat the same mistakes! For the present-day Mi Star.

Every returning Historical World means the most important resource—population! And Roger didn't want the inhabitants of Mi Star to die at the hands of the demonic insects.

Therefore, both for public and private reasons, he must stop the further expansion of the Star-Eating Demon Worms!...

In order to achieve the above two objectives.

Roger's first step is to obtain the key to "Lead Gray Town"!

Although the Great Secret Realm of Lead Gray Town has not yet been fully integrated into the main world.

But finding its key is easy—

Just follow the swarm! "They've eaten the entire Lead Gray Town!"

"But they kept digging deeper and deeper, from the 001st layer to the 504th layer, as if they wouldn't stop until they dug through the entire underground!"

"Clearly, the key lies at the core of the 6th Historical Realm!"

Following this line of thinking.

Roger alternated between using Star Master Authority and Earth Escape.

Not long after.

He left the burrowing insects far behind! Just as he expected.

There is indeed an object deep within the Earth that radiates a strange power.

When Roger arrived.

The object radiated heat outwards in concentric rings, like an underground sun.

It seems to be struggling to maintain the basic structure of the world in the 6th Historical Realm! (Data column).

"Hint: You have discovered the key 'Black and White Lotus Platform'..."

"You begin your attempt to capture the key..."

Roger now holds six keys.

I'm no longer a novice.

Although this black and white lotus platform is more exclusive than other keys.

However, it was quickly defeated by the Star Master Authority and the Telepathic Fingers.

Less than 10 minutes.

Roger successfully obtained the key! After taking care of everything...

He did not rush to take away the black and white lotus platform.

Instead, he left it where it was! Because he knew very well.

The Star-Eating Demon Worms came for the Black and White Lotus Platform.

If I take it myself.

Then they will inevitably get out of control.

Roger certainly didn't want to see the Star-Eating Demon Worms running rampant throughout Lead Gray Town.

He preferred to maintain the status quo for now! He didn't want the demons to know that the key had quietly changed hands.

Just keep dragging them through this endless Man-Eating Cave!

As for how to eliminate these monsters...

Roger had already made up his mind.

The harm caused by the Star-Eating Demon Worms is both terrible and terrifying.

But it's not to the point where we can't handle it.

Roger took matters into his own hands.

It's estimated that it could sweep through the more than 500-plus Man-Eating Cave in ten to fifteen days at most.

But now he has a better idea.

At present.

Roger slightly reduced the intensity of the heat released by the Black and White Lotus Platform.

Immediately afterwards.

He descended to a depth of about 100 meters above it.

After using the Star Master Authority to carve out a fairly spacious stone cave.

He opened two more Teleportation Gate here!

The next second.

He stepped out of one of the Teleportation Gate.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

Not far away.

Clear Spring Mountain, suspended in mid-air, is clearly visible!

"The Star Master Authority and key can indeed set up more stable teleportation channels..."

Roger smiled with satisfaction.

He flew effortlessly toward Clear Spring Mountain.

Two hours later.

All Qingquan disciples still within the Frog Claw Basin have received an urgent "Insect Extermination Order" issued by their Sect Master!...

"Eradication Order: All Qingquan disciples above the Extraordinary level."

Players can form a team (at least 5 people) to travel to the ' Man-Eating Cave ' through a temporary Teleportation Gate.

Eliminating the Star-Eating Demon Worms will earn you sect contribution points.

The calculation requires the submission of the demonic insect's tentacles as evidence.

See the appendix for details.

..."

The pest control order was issued.

It's not just Clear Spring Mountain.

Even the dozen or so newly emerging towns nearby were abuzz with excitement.

Not to mention the extremely valuable sect contribution points.

Roger's personal order alone carries immense influence! After all, everyone knows that.

Our own Sect Master has become the newly promoted star lord.

From that moment on, this planet truly became their own backyard.

The disciples and followers were all honored by this.

A sense of ownership is also extremely common.

in this case.

Whether or not you have free time.

A large number of disciples received the insect extermination order and set off in a grand procession toward the temporary Teleportation Gate!

certainly.

Not everyone is good at socializing and has the ability to assemble a five-person team at any time.

Therefore.

Most disciples spontaneously seek out teams on the mountain paths outside the sect.

These Martial Artist are also highly efficient.

Aside from a small number of people with social anxiety.

Before long, everyone formed teams.

Then they set off in a leisurely manner towards the temporary Teleportation Gate.

But he had just walked up and lowered his head.

The disciples were all dumbfounded—

Queues started forming half a mile away outside the temporary Teleportation Gate.

Teleportation Gate.

An Clear Spring Sect Elder, along with several disciples, was strictly overseeing the process.

The procession moved forward slowly.

Everyone looked closely.

They discovered that the people queuing in front of them were not members of the Qingquan Sect.

Instead, it was a large group of well-informed Adventurers living nearby.

A large portion of them are spirits and monsters brought about by the Spiritual Qi Resurgence!

These people won't get any rewards at all.

He just wanted to gain some favor with Roger...

As a result, this huge commotion has occurred!

The Sect Master's influence is evident! Regarding this situation...

Roger, who was observing from the shadows, did not stop them.

Pest control is a shared responsibility of the inhabitants of Mi Star.

They've even provided the Teleportation Gate themselves.

That counts as contributing my time and effort.

It hardly counts as him taking advantage of someone else, right? So he happily used his Star Master Authority to add a detail to the temporary Teleportation Gate—

"All those who pass through this gate are considered Roger's followers when slaying the Star-Eating Demon Worms..."

After doing all this.

He then instructed Ji Qiu to arrange for people to track the whereabouts of the insect swarms near the Man-Eating Cave.

Then he left.

Not long after.

The data panel then displayed a large number of kill notifications!

It's nothing more than "Your follower XXX killed X Star-Eating Demon Worms" and "You obtained X fragments of magical artifact experience".

Roger was secretly delighted to see this.

The era of fully automated monster farming that I've been dreaming of for so long...

It's finally here! Of course.

He didn't just reap the benefits without doing anything.

In fact.

Roger's issuance of the extermination order was merely to liberate himself.

Free up your energy to dedicate to greater causes!...

"Hint: Should we use the Star Master Authority to accelerate the return of the Historical World?"

Will they use their Star Master Authority to command the Historical World?

"Acceleration successful! The Historical World will return to the main world at an even faster pace!"

"Historical World information is being updated..."

The 11th History Realm / Far Gaze Town / Seven-Colored Flute /has returned/responded and submitted.

12th Historic Realm/ Radiant City / Ordination Stele /None available/Respond and Submit

..."

That concludes the discussion.

12 Historical information is readily available.

Roger was most concerned about the 4th and 5th historical records.

Like the Lead Gray Town, they were invaded by the Kansas' Face Saliva.

It might even turn into a strange monster.

However, to his surprise...

Although Ancient Tallen and Demon Fist Stronghold are in different states of submission.

But they all sent me messages by coincidence! Ancient Tallen was one thing, but that's another.

After all, Peach Blossom Mountain had already been taken by Roger.

It's only a matter of time before they sweep Talen.

Roger was more curious about this relatively unfamiliar Demon Fist Stronghold.

So he clicked on the perception message sent by Demon Fist Stronghold.

The next second.

An elderly man with a ruddy complexion appeared before Roger:

"Hello, I am Biggle, the Dean of the Boxer Academy..."
