Abyss Summoner

Chapter 352 - 343: The New Era

The New Year is drawing closer.

Yet this year is destined to be anything but peaceful. In the face of relentless disasters, the entire city cannot feel any festive atmosphere. The death of the Annihilation Insect Emperor does not mean the Insect Race will disappear; indeed, there are still insects around.

The era of peace.

Will cockroaches in the south go extinct?

Insects are inherently creatures that defy the heavens; no matter how harsh the environment, they always find a way to continue their existence.

Insects won’t disappear.

They just shift from being powerful to weak.

It’s not just the city of Bridge East that has experienced disaster; the whole world was struck at the same time. If one becomes complacent due to a victory, then destruction is no longer far off.

Compared to the previous atmosphere of a family sitting together, at times like this, a family of three often ends up with only one, or none at all.

This is destined to be a New Year without smiles.

The sound of firecrackers rises, resonating across the city sky. It is not filled with smiling faces but rather the sound of sobbing cries. Many people mourn their loved ones, crying aloud; thus, the first year of the apocalypse passes in bitterness and tears.

...............

Chen Feng stands on a platform.

What was originally the school’s stadium, due to its vast area, was chosen by Chen Feng to be the parade ground.

In the forest.

Even in the absence of food shortages, a tiger will occasionally come out to survey its domain. Its purpose is to let the nearby beasts see its majestic presence, clearly telling everyone that it remains powerful and not to be challenged.

And now, Chen Feng’s purpose is precisely that.

On the second day of the New Year, he plans to officially announce his identity as the ruler from Order, or perhaps... the king of Bridge East in darkness.

Moreover, the parade location was chosen within the territory of Bridge East, the deeper meaning of which is daunting to contemplate.

In this parade event, all high-tier soldiers from the city have gathered, including the newly formed Iron Demon Guard and the Personal Guard camp of Order.

Noon.

Twelve o’clock.

The moment when the yang energy is at its peak.

Wei Xun stepped forward. For a time, this early follower of Chen Feng who fought north and south, after absorbing numerous mutant beasts, finally stepped into the Silver Peak as desired.

The monster essence absorbed by his body has reached a staggering twenty-three. At this moment, he takes a step forward, a colossal creature faintly gathering above his head.

The bizarre appearance makes one’s heart tremble, while those eyes as large as bronze bells glimmer with anthropomorphic intelligence, as if ready to revive at any moment, causing one’s heart to race uncontrollably.

"The parade begins!"

"Roar..."

With an announcement and the creature’s roar, the united parade of Order and Bridge East officially commences from this moment.

Li Siyu is the first to step forward.

This girl, who awakened her bloodline to become an Angel, spent months gathering numerous Believers. At a time when she was at her peak, she became a renowned High Priest under Chen Feng’s command.

Of course, her identity is not limited to this. The position she holds is the head of the medical department within Order. At this moment, under her leadership, a team of medical personnel emerges. It was their presence during the previous insect wave that allowed many people to recover their lives.

In the following time, several departments pass before Chen Feng one by one. In addition, the Iron Demon Army from Bridge East, along with the Natives and Goblin Legion, are also present.

Many ordinary people stretch their necks; although they have seen some native alien races in the past, in such a situation, witnessing a thousand natives appear simultaneously creates an unparalleled sense of awe.

After humans, it’s the beasts’ turn to make an appearance.

With more and more professionals awakening, a few Beast Tamers have been discovered in the city. Although most of these individuals are Bronze Tier, they have captured many beasts with the help of their companions.

Large and small, there are over thirty beasts, including the green-eyed Fierce Python, Unihorn Giant Rhinoceros, Golden Ape, and leading these monsters is Chen Feng’s Thunder Prison Dragon Lion.

Human Warriors, Dimensional Alien Race, Ferocious Beasts.

At this time, the troops from three different forces all assemble in the center of the square, and above them, apart from Chen Feng, no one else, not even Xu Hongzhuang, stands on the sidelines, lacking the qualification to accept allegiance from these individuals.

Chen Feng stands on the platform, looking over everything. In less than a year, he has gathered such a group of subordinates, something he could never have imagined before.

Raising his head.

Facing the warriors’ reverent gazes, his own eyes are somewhat vacant.

This is a special day.

The fierce tiger has opened its claws, announcing to everyone one message: he, Chen Feng, is the city’s undisputed reigning king.

The merger between Bridge East and Order is like the tide of history. No matter how much one struggles, it is futile. On the second day of the parade, Bridge East is officially renamed as Order. This signifies that this city is no longer in the era of Hong Jiuling, Feng Zhiyong, or even Xu Hongzhuang, for it has ushered in a new master.

The Executioner—Chen Feng!

Opposition?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Didn’t you see Xu Hongzhuang accepting it gladly, even going around persuading those elder figures to support Chen Feng and jointly resist the enemy?

Xu Hongzhuang has always been a person of pure intentions.

Previously, her rebellion to seize power was precisely for the entire city, and now with the Insect Race defeated, what was once called authority is insignificant in her eyes.

More importantly, in that battle, she realized what true power was. Despite her strength, in the eyes of the Annihilation Ant Emperor, she was nothing more than an insignificant green bug, devoid of any deterrent power.

To become strong!

Rather than losing herself in power, Xu Hongzhuang prefers to break through to stronger realms. She dreams of one day facing formidable opponents without being as unaccomplished as she was on that day.

Unification.

The merging of two forces initiates Order’s rules into the affairs of Bridge East, igniting a new flame to reform on this wasteland.

Order will become the city’s sanctuary, shielding everyone from being devoured by insects and monsters.

After this battle.

Chen Feng’s popularity undoubtedly reaches a peak, resulting in the... the church established by Li Siyu recruits over three thousand followers in a short time.

For a moment, the Power of Faith surges greatly, unknowingly raising his strength by another tenth.

Do not underestimate this tenth.

Chen Feng has already undergone transformation. In addition to the extra two summoning slots gained upon promotion, he is now enveloped in the Demon Bloodline, completely transforming into a Blazing Demon.

However, he is very clear about what he should do.

This land is vast.

Apart from the cities governed by Order, there are other forces around. As stability continues, there will inevitably be collisions between them.

Cooperation?

This is a term used by the strong.

If they are merely weak, their choice is singular: be devoured.

Chen Feng has tasted the sweetness of being strong, to the point of being intoxicated, and if the day comes when he encounters new forces and enemies, he also wishes to be the invader rather than the prey.

Therefore, when danger arrives, he needs more robust armaments, transforming himself into a true giant beast of war.

Chen Feng believes in his own strength.

To reach this point, how many people has he killed, how many opportunities has he seized? Including Wei Xun, if it weren’t for eliminating the strong and sacrificing them to him, Wei Xun wouldn’t have reached his current height.

Apart from the strong within Dimensions, in the human realm, Gold is already the strongest; as for legendary status? What kind of talent does one need to achieve it?!

Without a doubt.

In this grand scheme, Chen Feng’s rise cannot be stopped by anyone.

Yet things inevitably have exceptions.

Humans may be inadequate, but before nature, individual power, no matter how strong, amounts to little.

Chen Feng looks out the window, far towards the sky; though it’s midday, the sky is ominously overcast, like a lurking beast ready to reveal its claws at any moment.

A torrential rain will soon pour down, an inevitable natural disaster.

Calculating the time, he has half a month to prepare.

Pinching the bridge of his nose.

During this period, Chen Feng needs to organize forces, digging a trench around the area. No one knows better than he the terrifying extent of this rainstorm; it will pour unrelentingly for a week, and this is not the end but merely the beginning.

As time progresses, the rainwater volume grows increasingly immense, having survived the insect wave, this disaster will be termed a historical turning point.

The era of great navigation.

Is about to begin!
