Yes, after the entire world was elevated, it wasn't just humans who received the reward of increased racial stats.
All living creatures surviving in this world gained a certain degree of improvement.
However, logically speaking, humans should be the race that received the greatest enhancement among all beings on Blue Star.
But some unexpected factors disrupted this outcome.
According to reports from the white coats in the research department, the concentration of energy throughout the world had been continuously increasing for a month.
Moreover, the further one went into the wilderness, the higher the concentration of anomalous energy, and the more intense the influence of that energy on flora and fauna.
According to the Army Lord, all this energy originated from anomalous void energy.
As the favored race of this world, humanity's gathering places naturally resisted the erosion of the void.
The wilderness outside human civilization, however, had become the bridgehead for the invasion of that void energy.
Under the invasion of void energy of various attributes, the wilderness had practically returned to the primitive era.
Towering behemoths roamed freely in the dense forests, separated from the civilized lights of humanity by a vast expanse.
The fleeing deer herd that had just scattered were merely the failed ones, driven out. They were unable to reach the areas with the highest energy concentration, so they were forced towards human settlements.
But even these failures possessed at least the strength of an elite Tier 1.
Although the soldiers of the Crimson Legion, after multiple advancements, did not fear these giant deer.
The ordinary people within the city, or the newcomers in the combat squads, could not withstand the turmoil.
Situations like Chen Luo's, where he led numerous soldiers in a frenzy of leveling up, were now very difficult to come by.
After all, for an army of tens of millions, the experience required for leveling up had reached a terrifying magnitude.
Fortunately, after the world's elevation, everyone automatically gained ten experience points daily, even if they did nothing.
Over a month, this free gain of three hundred experience points had at least allowed the logistics personnel to reach Tier 2.
The soldiers who went out to fight could earn some additional experience under the guidance of the elders.
However, to reach Level 10 and officially enter Tier 1, it would still take some time.
As for the elders?
Half of their experience from each battle went to the Army Lord, and the other half was divided into one hundred thousand portions, so they were also far from reaching the perfection of Tier 1.
...
Outside the Imperial Capital, the land completely shattered by battle had long since recovered into a vast grassland.
After the world's elevation, even without the influx of void energy, the growth rate of the world's plants had increased to a terrifying speed.
Across the grasslands, combat squads of ten people each were scattered, clearing out the giant animals constantly emerging from the distant forests.
Yes, the further away from human cities, the heavier the aura of the wilderness.
Many forests had even grown overnight.
And everything within the forests was as mysterious as a magical realm to ordinary people.
Merely from the giant animals that occasionally ran out of the forests, one could infer that many terrifying monsters had likely been born in these uninhabited places.
Battles in the wilderness were not always smooth sailing.
Even with veteran leadership, combat squads were still frequently wiped out by monster onslaughts.
However, for them, death was not the end.
...
An unknown location, on a vast plaza, after a flash of light,
Li Wei and Chen Xuan, wearing tattered battle armor, appeared on the plaza with expressions of exasperation.
"Damn it! Xiao Xuanzi! You're not afraid of bursting from that giant tiger's whip! That giant tiger was at least Nightmare-level in strength! And you dared to poke its backside!"
Chen Xuan, who had been dismembered by a tiger's claw and then revived, sighed helplessly, "I was just itching for a fight... Who knew that thing was so fierce!"
Li Wei looked at his old partner with resignation.
"Those few new recruits should have revived as well. Forget it, let's take a day off today. We'll wait for the Army Lord to summon us all again tomorrow."
"Let's go. If we can't fight monsters, let's spar our combat skills."
It wasn't just these two; all over the plaza, warriors in damaged armor appeared from time to time, looking exasperated as they died and returned.
Chen Luo's military descent coverage had already expanded to the entire territory of Great Yan.
Every day, Chen Luo summoned the combat department as a military status to ensure that when they encountered strong enemies, they would merely die and return home, rather than have their corpses left in the wilderness.
However, due to the sheer number of people, Chen Luo only summoned them once every morning and then allowed them to act freely.
As they spoke, the warriors who had died and returned began to walk away from the plaza.
This plaza occupied a vast area, roughly the size of a small town, and was entirely constructed from some kind of mysterious black crystal.
Yes, this was not the Imperial Capital, nor was it Starfire City.
It was within the mobile military fortress, "Nether Moon"!
Hum!
Above the vast, boundless green sea of trees, a colossal crystal-like pyramid spanning hundreds of square kilometers suddenly flew past.
