The underground ruins where the portal was located were about eight hundred kilometers away from System's current location.

  If he wanted to use the portal to migrate, he could leave immediately with his ant subjects. Although it would be more than a month before the portal could be activated again, it would take a long time for his ant subjects to complete such a long journey.

  However, when talking about migrating to the Abyss, just the name "Abyss" itself sounded extremely dangerous. After being teleported to the Abyss, he would undoubtedly face Swarm Druids with their many methods to target and control insects.

  It was like jumping out of one pit and into another, only the new pit was even more dangerous than the first.

  It was possible that the Swarm Druids would discover System and his ant subjects and want to use them for experiments.

  After a little thought, System gave up on the idea of migrating to the Abyss. He once again pondered the possible migration options in the surrounding areas.

  It wasn't difficult to return to Lilt Forest in the north. It would be easy for Excavator to dig a tunnel through the vine wall with her ability.

  It was very likely that they could successfully reach Lilt Forest, but there were now more druids living there than just the old druid Medran. It was obviously impossible for System to migrate back.

  To the south, he could hardly see the edge of the pins even if he flew high into the sky. There wasn't much difference between migrating south and staying where they were. Either way, there would still be undead creatures and insect demons.

  As for the east, for more than a thousand kilometers, there were hills and deserts that seemed a bit desote. It would obviously be difficult to find enough food if they migrated east.

  About two thousand kilometers to the west, there were some small, snow-covered hills at the edge of the huge Lilt Mountains. Obviously, there would be a shortage of food there.

  ...

  Ying, who also possessed the [Mental Transmission] ability, seemed to sense System's distress and offered a suggestion.

  "The portal can actually send you to another pce."

  "Where?" System asked immediately after receiving her mental message.

  "The Abyss."

  System was confused for a moment before figuring out what she meant.

  "You mean the portal can teleport us to a different location in the Abyss, far away from your master?"

  "Yes, very far."

  Ying quickly replied and gave System more information about the Abyss.

  The Abyss was also called the endless Abyss. Just like the literal meaning of the words, the Abyss was endless. If one threw a stone into the Abyss, the stone would fall forever.

  There were countless levels in the Abyss, each unique, all with varying sizes and environments.

  The reason Abyssal demons were more likely to appear in Lilt Forest and the Warren Pins was that the spacial barrier between this location and the 26th yer of the Abyss was very weak.

  In addition, in the past few thousand years, the frost dragon and the fire dragon had shuttled between these two worlds dozens of times, causing the spacial barrier to further weaken, resulting in these nds often being invaded by Abyss creatures.

  However, this method of breaking the spacial barrier was different from using a portal. The portal could ignore the strength of the spacial barrier and transmit things to a fixed location.

  The portal used by Ying to travel back and forth to the Abyss could be used to teleport between three locations.

  The first was the 26th yer of the Abyss; the second was the border between the Warren Pins and Lilt Forest; the third was another of the countless yers of the endless Abyss. Ying didn't know which yer of the Abyss it was.

  In the process of traveling back and forth between Lilt Forest and the 26th yer of the Abyss, Ying had once entered that level of the Abyss and stayed there for two months while waiting for the portal to recharge.

  The images and description Ying transmitted to System through [Mental Connection] gave him a rough understanding of that level of the Abyss.

  The temperature on that level was quite suitable, around 30 to 40 degrees, slightly hotter than the temperature in Lilt Forest during the summer.

  The whole world was shrouded in a yer of vender smoke and miasma, making it impossible to see things in the distance. The smoke was also slightly toxic.

  According to Ying, the smoke was like the ratmen's pgues. The toxicity wouldn't have much of an effect on insects, but it posed a fatal threat to warm-blooded animals.

  More than ninety percent of the ground was covered by swamps, and bubbles occasionally floated up from beneath the water's surface. When the bubbles popped, purple smoke and poison were released. That seemed to be how the toxic smoke in that yer of the Abyss was produced.

  While the swampnd caused that yer of the Abyss to be poisonous, it wasn't devoid of life. Many kinds of vine-like pnts could be found floating in the swamps. The swampnd also contained some green, moss-like lifeforms that should be either pnts or microorganisms.

  There were also several creatures, including a fellow insect System was very familiar with—mosquitoes.

  In that world, mosquitoes could be found flying everywhere.

  Above mosquitoes in the food chain, there were toads, the mortal enemy of mosquitoes, then lizards and snakes above toads.

  Of course, that yer of the Abyss also contained slimes, System's old friends. The slimes varied in size, with the rgest of them being several meters tall.

  The most powerful existences in that world were lizardmen who could swim in the swamps and small flying dragons that could occasionally be seen flying in the sky.

  Lizardmen were generally about two meters tall, and powerful lizardmen warriors were even rger. Lizardmen possessed wisdom, but their level of intelligence wasn't very high, and their personalities were brutal. They often fought each other, which wasn't much different from how ordinary demons behaved.

  After hearing Ying's description of the Abyss, especially after hearing what she'd learned after spending two months exploring hundreds of kilometers of the swamp-covered level of the Abyss, System was already very tempted to migrate there.

  The entire Warren Pins had been occupied by undead creatures, and it might be taken over by demons in the future.

  The old druid Medran, whose thoughts were hard to figure out; the powerful Abyss Lord Ogan; the ratman Hessian who had rebelled against the evil god; the undead spellcaster who had never appeared...

  System no longer wanted to get involved in the messy events in the Warren Pins.

  If the Abyss yer the portal led to was really as Ying had described, it would undoubtedly be an excellent pce to migrate. Although the environment there was very harsh, there would be no conspiracy or intrigue.

  It was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, but System and his ant subjects had been in a world where the strong preyed on the weak since Lilt Forest.

  Going to the Abyss might be easier than going to the Warren Pins. After all, in the scenes Ying had transmitted in her mental message, although the creatures in the Abyss were extremely aggressive, they were very numerous, and there was a rge popution of slime friends.

  System's ant subjects wouldn't have to worry about food at all.

  After hearing Ying talk about the giant slimes, there had been a reaction from System's [Intuition]. Perhaps eating those giant slimes could further enhance his [Pupation] talent...
