Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

Yu Tianyi surveyed his surroundings and quickly realized, through the power of the Abundant Destiny, that he was now at a point in time nearly a hundred years after he left, two hundred years after he initiated this event.

"After you suppressed the Insect King, a lot of things did happen, but fortunately it didn't affect our operations too much. The Star Gods drove out those extraterrestrial enemies."

Yu Tianyi had already learned about these things in the previous messages from his destiny, but they did not mention the passage of time in March 7th.

"Speaking of which, it seems that because of the contract with you, I was not affected by those spacetime turbulence, and thus was able to return to the correct time after the situation stabilized and carry out the work of eradicating the locust plague."

However, I didn't see Fu Xuan and Qing Que. How are they? They should be alright, right?

At this point, a hint of worry appeared in March 7's pinkish-blue eyes. Although they did not truly perish after death according to previous circumstances, this time it was an invasion by foreign enemies, and the situation might not be the same as before.

"They're fine; they've simply returned to their original possibility. However, events haven't restarted, so they can't come back for the time being."

Yu Tianyi nodded slightly, which relieved San Yueqi. Because she could only send messages to Yu Tianyi's clone, she had been worried about Fu Xuan and the other person's situation all these years. Now that she had learned the definite news, she was relieved.

"You've done a great job. In just a century, you've reclaimed more than half of the star regions that were occupied by silverfish. If you include the century before I left, you've already recovered 80% of the known star regions, right?"

Looking at the star chart in front of him on March 7 and the information he had gleaned from the Abundant Destiny, Yu Tianyi was overjoyed.

"Ah, thanks to your Radiant Dragons, relying on their characteristics to completely kill the Silverfish, we were able to avoid a lot of unnecessary casualties."

Without the suppression of the insect king, our destiny can be fully realized even during a locust plague without being eroded.

Without these prerequisites, none of this could be accomplished.

March 7th smiled faintly. The excitement of reclaiming the star field had faded over the past few decades, but she knew that without Yu Tianyi's arrival, all of this would have ended long ago. It was the person in front of her who saved her world.

"I feel embarrassed if you say that."

As they were talking, the communicator next to March 7 suddenly rang, and Yu Tianyi immediately recognized the name displayed on it: Silver Wolf.

"Boss, please do me a favor and take me with you if you leave in March. Although I can't beat this big ice block, when it comes to data, even ten of hers can't compare to me."

As soon as the call connected, Silver Wolf's voice came from the other end of the communicator. It was clear that she had already learned of Yu Tianyi's return through other channels.

"Um, if I could, I would."

Yu Tianyi had no reason to refuse such an eager hacker woman who wanted to explore different time periods. Unfortunately, his cheat code hadn't worked yet, and taking people away was a thankless task for him.

Not only does it lose the contractor's characteristic of being able to bounce out after failure without dying, greatly increasing the risk, it also restricts him and prevents him from acting freely.

"Oh fine."

Hearing the ambiguity in Yu Tianyi's words, Silver Wolf's tone immediately dropped, making him feel somewhat reluctant. Unfortunately, this was not something he could decide.

"Perhaps I can try to examine the manifestations of cheats using idealism, and maybe I can find a way to crack how cheats work?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, but Yu Tianyi quickly suppressed it. Trying to understand things that were far beyond his current knowledge would come at a price he couldn't afford.

So for now, I can only apologize to Silver Wolf. Yu Tianyi has never given a definite answer to things he can't promise.

"How long will it take to recover the remaining parts occupied by silverfish?"

Chapter 212 Locust Plague Settlement

"Only one to two years? That's fast."

"Yes, our pace of reclaiming lost territory was slow at first and then fast. The swarms of insects that were originally distributed throughout the Milky Way can keep moving around, which means we need to spend a lot of time clearing them out."

However, the remaining portion is only tens of millions of light-years; the rest is mostly imaginary space without galaxies, thus allowing for attacks from multiple directions.

On March 7th, he gestured to the area on the star chart and explained it to Yu Tianyi.

"By performing several imaginary collapse pulses in these locations, a convenient passage can be quickly opened up. Then, strongholds can be established along the way, and then the troops can be dispatched in batches to sweep through the area."

This method is already very mature. Because the swarm has no intelligence, and under the protection of Tianyi's abundant destiny, they have lost their heaven-defying ability to infect and reproduce, and their threat level has been greatly reduced.

"In March, news arrived from over there... You've returned, esteemed guest, great being."

As the two were talking, a figure suddenly appeared in their perception. With long, light purple hair that reached the ground, amber eyes, and a gentle yet mysterious aura, the newcomer was none other than Black Swan.

She was about to say something to March 7th when she immediately noticed the person beside him. She immediately showed a respectful expression and bowed slightly.

"Aunt Black Swan".

"Black Swan, you left the Radiant Memory Court seeking answers to the scenes in the Heaven of Good Vision. Now, have you reached a conclusion?"

After exchanging greetings on March 7th, Yu Tianyi suddenly spoke, causing the other person's unreadable pupils to pause slightly before revealing a peaceful smile.

"It seems you already know what I am seeking."

Black Swan was not surprised that Yu Tianyi knew the reason for her departure from Liuguang Yiting. She looked at the person in front of her who was still shrouded in mystery.

"Yes, I have found the answer. Even if everything is preserved in memory, it is necessary to keep moving forward to make the memory more valuable."

"?"

Faced with this riddle-like conversation, March 7 tilted her head, a big question mark flashing across her forehead. What was going on? Why did she suddenly feel like an outsider?

After Black Swan finished reporting the latest intelligence and left, March 7th asked with curiosity what the two had been talking about.

"It's nothing, just answered one of my initial questions. It doesn't mean anything special. During the first few incidents, when I first met her, I knew why she left the Flowing Light Memory Court, but I didn't know the specifics at the time..."

Yu Tianyi then recounted the story of his first meeting with the Black Swan, explaining that he had only asked about the aftermath on a whim.

However, the other party's answer does offer a glimpse into the changes in people's lives in this time and space.

The original Black Swan witnessed the destruction of the Milky Way in the Good Heaven of Fuli, a world of memories composed entirely of memory matter, and thus began to question why memories were preserved.

Memory is born from reality. If reality is destroyed, what will be left to complement everything that memory reconstructs?

The illusion is precious because it is real; if reality disappears, the illusion will naturally lose its meaning.

In order to perpetuate reality, the Black Swan broke away from the Memory Palace and attempted to find a way to prevent the apocalypse from arriving.

"So that's how it is. Aunt Black Swan had high hopes for my predecessor, and even extended those hopes to me. Perhaps she saw me as someone who could save the world."

Of course, this does not mean that her feelings for March 7 were fake; otherwise, she would not have risked so much to rescue March 7, who had been captured by the Sand King's sect, from the depths of the locust plague.

"Salvation?"

[Chapter Main Quest: Reduce the area affected by the locust plague. The greater the deviation from the initial area at the start of the chapter, the higher the reward. (Current deviation: 13%/100%)]

Defeating the Breeding Star God, Taizyuros, will lock the reward at SS level. (Incomplete)

"Spirit, soul, technological philosophy... In the myriad compound eyes of Taizyuros, the cosmic laws pursued by all intelligent races are merely peripheral details arising from the process by which all things achieve the ultimate goal of 'reproduction.'"

Yu Tianyi focused his attention on the main quest in front of him. Even though he had sealed the Insect Emperor deep within the possibilities of this universe, he still could not kill it. At present, it seemed that it was basically impossible to complete the SS settlement.

The first requirement is almost met. If the initial scope was set at 100%, 87% has been recovered, leaving only about 10% of the area still within the locust plague.

"Now that I'm back and the End Legion has withdrawn from this possibility, you can make some modifications to your plans."

He naturally wouldn't stand idly by; doing so would be too slow. After discussing with San Yueqi, Yu Tianyi decided to use the power of the Abundant Destiny to speed up the process.

In the following period, if the resistance forces encountered any difficulties in their advance, he would call upon the Legion blessed by Abundant Fate.

After another hundred years of development, the strength of the Abundant Destiny that Yu Tianyi can manipulate in this timeline has been greatly improved. Previously, because he needed to seal the Insect Emperor and was kicked out of the chapter, his clones were unable to provide support.

Now that he has made his move, the already one-sided situation has become an overwhelming one, and the areas that were originally planned to be recovered in about a year have been completely recovered in just a few months.

"In the 1123rd year of the Calamity Calendar, the resistance army successfully recovered all the star fields eroded by the locust plague, but most of the stars had been destroyed by silverfish and would take an extremely long time to reform."

But regardless, from this point on, our descendants will no longer need to be troubled by locust plagues. 'Calamity' will become a part of history, to be remembered and mentioned, but it will never happen again...

In the computer-projected image, Himeko, dressed in a well-fitting white uniform, stands in the square of the United Government, speaking to the authorities.

Yu Tianyi's figure did not appear in any description, but the legend of the savior circulated in secret.

His gaze shifted from the projection; the prominent (1%/100%) on the task bar before him indicated that the locust plague had not completely disappeared.

"It seems that the last 1% is the swarm of insects that remain in the corners of various star systems. After all, insects have never been truly eradicated, have they?"

[Confirmed settlement for the chapter "Locust Plague Apocalypse," with 40% of the chapter's share locked. The rating must be at least A upon completion of the offset.]

I just visited my grandparents in my hometown before the Lunar New Year, but I never expected that he would pass away so soon after I got back. I have to go back again. Sigh, I hope everyone's ancestors are safe and sound.

Moreover, they ultimately averted the galaxy's doomsday crisis; aside from not killing the culprit, they did their best.

As for the SS-rank, the main storyline also set a requirement this time: he needed to directly kill this Propagation Star God, but unfortunately he failed to do so.
