Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

"In short, let's take a look around the vicinity of these beams first."

He unleashed his domain, condensing an icy flying sword beneath his feet, and charged toward the beam of light that appeared to be closest to him.

Even with only half of the gains from the fall in Luofu, Yu Tianyi is now confident that his strength is no weaker than any of the Cloud Cavalry and Valiant Guards, not even Yan Qing from the previous chapter.

With the help of the domain, he skillfully avoided all the swarms of insects rushing towards him, constantly approaching the enormous cannon muzzle that grew larger and larger, completely obscuring his view.

"Oh no, is mutation starting to appear here too?"

It seemed that as long as he got closer to the muzzle of the cannon, he could get some help. However, things did not go as Yu Tianyi had hoped.

Before he could get any closer, a terrifying swarm of black and red insects began to appear in his line of sight. Keep in mind that only half a standard hour had passed since Yu Tianyi left that wave and headed this way.

"The speed is so fast, I guessed right. Even the intensity of the locust plague recorded in reality is far greater than that at the beginning of the outbreak."

Just as he was about to charge into the swarm of insects and wreak havoc, no longer holding back, a powerful wave spread out from around the cannon muzzle, which was as tall as a mountain.

The swarms of insects turned to ashes after being swept away by the wave, as if they had never existed.

"Member of the Immortal Ship, why are you here?"

Chapter 74 Origins of Locust Plagues

"I don't know, I found myself in this area as soon as I woke up."

Am I also a member of the Celestial Ship during the Locust Plague Apocalypse? It seems the faction on the cheat panel will affect my identity after entering the event.

When Yu Tianyi heard the other party refer to him as a member of the Immortal Ship, he basically guessed that he was probably a craftsman from the Craftsmanship Department in this chapter.

However, according to the information from his previous conversation with Dan Heng, the Immortal Ship Alliance in this timeline encountered a locust plague that had already swept across the universe as soon as they left their own star system. Before they could even begin their voyage, most of their ships were destroyed. In the end, they had to melt all their ships together to barely hold on until the resistance forces arrived to provide support.

After all, the time when the Immortal Ship set sail was around the 2100th year of the Amber Calendar in reality, which is equivalent to the 1040th year of the Calamity Calendar, a time when locust plagues have spread almost throughout the entire universe.

"The Celestial Ship's troops have just withdrawn through the jump portal. Perhaps some spacetime turbulence occurred during that process, causing you to appear in a future node."

The voice was indistinguishable between male and female, and was clearly some kind of synthesized mechanical voice.

As soon as it finished speaking, Yu Tianyi saw the ground in front of him crack open, revealing a passage leading to the underground.

"In short, let's get into the cabin first, otherwise no one can hold out for long under the corrosive influence of the 'calamity'."

"I see."

Yu Tianyi did not rashly try to extract information. At present, he knew almost nothing about this chapter except for its general direction, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

Following the voice's instructions, he darted into the passage and then passed through several boxes that were clearly used for detection.

After confirming that Yu Tianyi had not been corrupted, he was allowed to enter a cylindrical device that functioned like an elevator.

"Hello, I am Amelo, the captain of this planetary warship 'Tiange III'."

After the elevator reached the designated floor, Yu Tianyi had only taken a few steps when a semi-transparent three-dimensional half-body figure appeared in front of him.

"This feeling is a form of consciousness encapsulation."

Based on the other person's several remarks, he basically determined that this person was no longer a living being, but rather an entity whose consciousness had been encapsulated in a computer by some kind of technology.

"Hello, Captain Emero, what do you need me to do now?"

"This defensive line is about to fall. Once the rear defenses are deployed, we must evacuate as soon as possible."

"Your room is ready. Please rest here for now. Once we reach a safe area, you will be transferred back to the Celestial Ship unit."

Emero clearly had no intention of involving Yu Tianyi in the battle, since his current strength was completely insignificant in a contest at this level.

"Then thank you very much, Captain."

Yu Tianyi didn't insist and nodded in agreement to the other party's arrangement. Then, following the projection in front of him, he arrived at a door made of mechanical structure.

Turning the door lock, one is greeted by a room with a very simple interior. It is clear that during the war, artistic elements were omitted to the greatest extent possible, and efficiency and practicality were the top priorities.

He was not disappointed, because there were several paper books on the bedside table, and Yu Tianyi's eyesight allowed him to spot their names at a glance.

"A Comprehensive History of the Universe", "An Overview of the History of Disasters", and "Notes on Strange Insects from All Realms"

Isn't this exactly the information he needs from the chapter?

After closing the door, Yu Tianyi took the three books, which were nearly thirty centimeters tall in total, and brought them to the table. Without much selection, he directly opened the top book and began to read.

"On this day of crisis, a rainbow descended from beyond the realm, later known as the assistance of the Wandering Cloud Deity, which saved the alliance."

Hearing that the world had been overrun by locusts, and that there was no reason for him to remain uninvolved, he joined the resistance army, hoping for peace for future generations.

......

In October of the 89th year of the Calamity Calendar 1043, the Immortal Ship Manufacturing Division, in conjunction with the Wisdom and Order Sanctuary, developed and put into use a destiny stabilization device, which greatly alleviated the pressure on the border defenses.

......

In June of the 34th year of the 1106th year of the Calamity Calendar, the Immortal Ship's cosmic domain was damaged by the tentacles of a locust. Fortunately, with the help of the Rainbow Chariot of the Wandering Cloud Master, spacetime was stabilized using the boundary anchor, and three hours later, the ship successfully jumped away.

Although the Universal Gazette contains a considerable amount of information, it is not considered very long for Yu Tianyi. He spent half a standard hour reading it from beginning to end and memorizing all of its contents.

Most of them describe the major events after Xianzhou joined the resistance army, as well as some records of heroic deeds.

For example, the Emperor Bow, who might become a hunting star god in reality, is portrayed as a brave and skilled warrior in this chapter, single-handedly holding off locust plagues for months on multiple occasions, protecting more than a dozen defense lines that were on the verge of collapse.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." During a battle, the Emperor Bow was injured by a Locust Commander and soon developed a violent mutation. Ultimately, at the Commander's request, he was thrown into the Boiling Sea to be dissolved by the power of "immortality" to avoid further disaster.

To commemorate his achievements, Xianzhou named a new city in the Yaoqing region Emperor Bow City and erected a statue there to honor him.

"Although we don't know in reality whether the Hunting is an upgrade from the Imperial Bow, it is still something to remember. This chapter is truly gone."

He shook his head. After all, Yu Tianyi had already learned from Dan Heng that no 'god' had been born in this chapter since the locust plague, which meant that there probably wasn't a single 'god' in reality after that.

For example, the new 'gods' of abundance, hunting, and destruction, which have only been recorded for a few thousand years, did not emerge during the locust plague apocalypse.

The Immortal Boat Alliance now worships the Lord of the Rainbow Chariot, the Wandering Cloud God of Fate (the Pioneer Star God), Akivili, who has saved them many times.

"Then there is an overview of the history of calamities. The Immortal Ship's Universal Chronicle only records the major events of the past seven thousand years since its departure. This should provide a more detailed description of the previous one hundred thousand years."

As expected, this book, "An Overview of the History of Calamities," although it is called an overview, clearly focuses on a much longer period of time, which means that more details cannot be described.

Even so, Yu Tianyi still learned some details about the divine war that had a different ending than the one in reality through it.

"This is also the 1392nd century, but the chapter introduction says that the Star God ascended to godhood in the 1387th century."

He stared at the string of numbers, unsure whether it was due to the time difference caused by the vastness of the universe, or if there were some secrets hidden within them that were currently unknown.

Without pondering its deeper meaning, Yu Tianyi continued reading.

"The guardian star god Kripper has disappeared for some unknown reason, leaving behind only his giant hammer that can shake the universe. In reality, the gluttonous one who fought the Insect Emperor to the point of madness has also not appeared."

Expansion, order, balance, memory, and mystery appeared one after another to stop reproduction, but failed for unknown reasons. The God of Joy left behind a cryptic message before also disappearing.

Chapter 75 Real-world Changes

"Wait a minute, what about the Immortal Star God?"

Yu Tianyi quickly realized the problem: if the immortals appeared in Dan Heng's description, why didn't they appear in this divine war?

He flipped through a few pages and got the answer.

In October of the 93rd year of the Calamity Calendar, the Immortal Star Dragon, who was thought to have fallen, suddenly appeared. He easily dispelled the locust plague that spanned tens of millions of light-years and waged a battle against the locusts for several years.

In April of the 3rd year of the 93rd year of the Calamity Calendar, the magnificent body of the Immortal Star God transformed into endless streams of light and disappeared into the Tanghai Sea and the surrounding cosmic domain, which was organized into star clusters.

With this blessing, the Vidyadharas regained their former power. They obtained some messages left by the Dragon Ancestor in the Tanghai Sea, learning that He was seriously injured and unable to heal, and that He had fought a locust plague before finally perishing.

"As expected of the 'immortal' dragon ancestor, he is considered one of the oldest and greatest beings, along with 'gluttony' and 'balance'."

Yu Tianyi knew that Star God was a term that the Milky Way had only developed after the Twilight War.

Long before that, there were already beings in the universe that transcended human comprehension, and the Dragon Ancestor was believed to have existed since the beginning of the universe, only they weren't called Star Gods back then.

For example, the gluttonous Oberos, as one of the ancient beasts that ruled the universe before the Twilight War, obviously did not gain its power because of its 'god' status.

The power displayed by these ancient beings was indeed extraordinary. Even from a simple text, Yu Tianyi could imagine the invincible figure of the Dragon Ancestor, whose body, shrouded in the starry sky, forced the Insect Emperor into retreat.

As for why it's not the other way around...

Clearly, if the Insect Emperor had been suppressing the Dragon Ancestor, the latter wouldn't have been able to return to the place of Chiming's birth so easily, and so effortlessly merge his authority into the Tanghai Sea.

"It's a pity that the Dragon Ancestor was seriously injured for some reason, otherwise there would be no chapter on the Locust Plague Apocalypse."

However, that's how history works; sometimes a tiny change can cause everything to take a terrible turn.

Just as Yu Tianyi was feeling sentimental, his senses suddenly realized something was wrong. The surrounding walls suddenly twisted and then transformed into some kind of dark, crimson, writhing tissue.

"Heh~~"

A faint, disdainful voice rang out, but before he could do anything, an indescribable spiritual force crushed his consciousness.

You have encountered a 'Silkworm True Stinger (Giant)', an individual blessed with the power of reproduction, which was mutated from a planet.

You wonder if you could give the other person an acupuncture treatment, even if you exhausted all your strength.

You have encountered 'Locust Commander Ganrui', a former human hero who attracted the attention of the Sand King Cult due to his outstanding abilities and was eventually transformed into his current form.

You didn't even see the other person.
