Chapter 1290: Chapter 86: Live in peace and think of danger Chapter 1290: Chapter 86: Live in peace and think of danger The Abyss on this end was still being swept clean, in an all-encompassing, indiscriminate purge.

Wherever the sweepers went, they burned and killed everything, leaving no stone unturned.

In many places, it went beyond simply being three feet above the ground; the dense sweep of divine consciousness plunged three hundred feet underground, probing back and forth, almost becoming a standard procedure.

All creatures of the Abyss were slaughtered, exterminated in swathes.

Only plants were spared; as long as it was an animal, nothing was left alive, not even reptiles or insects.

Later, under Feng Yin’s suggestion and Peng Wanli’s supervision, they simply started a contractual responsibility system.

The Leopard clan was responsible for this area, the Bear clan for that one… Well, after a route of extermination, then what about swapping territories to check for any oversights by these clans?

If there were none, that was expected and nothing worth mentioning!

But if any irregularity was found, any fish that slipped through the net… come, let it be known to all, your clan would truly have some face to lose.

This measure, elevated to the level of clan honor, truly achieved extraordinary effects!

All the clans became anxious!

Who wanted to be pointed out as a negative example, with the shame chasing their entire clan for a lifetime?

Who could bear that!

Under such high-pressure, the clans promptly deployed their last resort: their womenfolk!

Especially those clans known for their carelessness hurried back to mobilize all their daughters-in-law.

Help, women… it concerns the reputation of our clan!

Please, do help.

The wisdom, carefulness, and patience of individual species were personified in the old women at home, not just in the Bear clan!

Thus, it truly became a mobilization of the entire species.

Afterward, besides extensive sweeping and especially after confirming that geographical limitations had been completely eliminated, everyone suddenly discovered… this territory was quite good!

Quite spacious and vast!

It seemed to have room for development, potential for survival!

Although, the light was dimmer, the environment worse, the facilities inadequate…

But once the species originally inhabiting the Abyss had been exterminated and the threat completely eliminated, whether humans or demon clans, both populations were bound to experience an explosive increase.

And with the population explosion came the inevitable struggle for survival resources.

The continent was only so large, its resources similarly finite; where could the excess population go?

Although currently, the demon clans and human clans were cooperating happily, their higher-ups had not considered waging any wars, and not to mention that humans were very powerful now, Doctor Feng alone was beyond estimation.

Furthermore, the demon clan’s next generation of successors were all cultivated by Doctor Feng.

It was simply impractical to fight.

But this reality held true only while Doctor Feng remained in the Anping Continent; once Doctor Feng left, how much longer could peace last?

They still had to face the real issues.

It was foreseeable that, whether demons or humans, both populations were destined to undergo explosive growth in the future, and this continent would not be able to satisfy the needs of both races permanently!

Considering that demons often gave birth to several or even dozens at a time, some even up to a hundred in one go, like the Snake, Bee, and Ant clans…

What decent demon family could afford that?!

And such a base for population growth was truly a foreseeable future that no one could ignore.

Sooner or later, the two races would instigate a massive war over survival resources.

This time could be very distant or could explode in hundreds of thousands of years, but it could also happen quite soon, within a few thousand years.

It’s often said that circumstances create heroes, but heroes can indeed create circumstances; just a few ambitious individuals could accelerate this process by countless times!

Yet, this distant concern was always something that both human and demon clans had to face!

Now, with the Abyss providing such a vast and expansive territory… almost equivalent to the land area of the continent, even if the living conditions were somewhat inferior, it was enough for establishing a foothold, wasn’t it?

Feng Yin communicated with the Illusory Silkworm, “Silkworm, can you bring this area under your control?”

“I can, but there are still many dangers here, and meddling too early may not be appropriate. My existence is only known to you, and if known by others, it could potentially lead to disaster.”

The Illusory Silkworm remained optimistic, “But once you eliminate the master of the Abyss, there will be no problems at all. I will integrate both the inner and outer aspects of the Anping Continent, fearing no one, nothing, no power…”

“Then, could you improve the living environment of the Abyss a bit and add some more life essence to it?”

“That won’t be difficult.”

The Illusory Silkworm, filled with confidence said, “Once I integrate both worlds, my control will inevitably increase. It’s feasible to add mountains, seas, suns, moons, stars… Though not necessarily the actual things, but through projecting real-world objects to simulate and transfer to the inner world. Everything that exists on the surface can exist here too, all the celestial bodies and atmospheric elements working just as they do above.”

He then sighed, “But the prerequisite is that I must gain complete control over this world.”

“That’s good to hear, isn’t this problem currently being resolved? By the way, how much control do you have now?”

“Forty-eight percent, the progress is indeed very fast, faster than I had imagined.”
