"Catastrophe OL's" official website is currently a hubbub of noise.

When a Tauren Demon with a troop of Heavy Sword Soldiers first appeared on the fifth level of the Maze, many players were speculating whether the development team was brewing a major update. And sure enough, the planners didn't let everyone down!

In a recent clash where the Heavy Sword Soldier Corps faced off against the Ogre army, the chief of the Ogre Tribe suddenly went berserk like he had taken drugs, unleashing unprecedented combat power. With an array of fearless cannon fodder, he actually managed to crush the regular army beneath that Tauren Demon.

The battle was so chaotic that heaven and earth lost color, and even the great avenues seemed worn down... Although the sky and avenues can't be seen in the Maze, all the players watching from afar felt something similar.

Both sides were insanely strong!

And they fought with the ferocity of staking their lives!

The scene resembled exactly the fight against Chaos on the fourth level!

Unlike the natives of this world, players don't care about stuff like Chaos or Catastrophes, and certainly don't change color at the mention.

Seeing that the outcome of the battle was about to be decided, some players who couldn't keep their hands still had already reached the edge of the battlefield to scavenge for equipment.

However, at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

A fissure as deep as an Abyss suddenly appeared on the battlefield, stretching for hundreds of meters in length and more than a dozen meters wide!

The crack, like a scar carved upon the earth, emitted a crimson aura, as if it were alive!

Because the incident was so abrupt, many players engaged in looting fell into it without warning, vanishing amidst the crimson dust!

Then, those players sucked into the fissure saw an almost identical scene—

Above their heads was no longer the dome of the fifth level of the Maze, but a murky sky.

The distant sun seemed extinguished, leaving behind only a dim halo, emitting a feeble light.

Next to that sun, a gas giant of dim yellow quietly floated in the murky sky, like a Giant's eye overseeing the battered surface of the planet.

That sight deeply shocked everyone.

Through various signs, almost all players were able to deduce almost immediately—they were no longer in the Maze, not even on the Aus Continent, but had arrived on another planet that seemed already dead!

Given the game's reputation for realism, many players were guessing whether the dimly lit sun and the adjacent giant star were hinting at something.

And just as everyone was heatedly discussing the planner's intentions, a post by a top-notch player suddenly caught everyone's attention.

The post was like a stone causing a thousand ripples.

In just a few minutes, the post skyrocketed with hundreds of replies, climbing up to the hottest topic on the official forum!

Gou Shi: "Stop beating around the bush!"

Jingluo Nanbei: "What on earth did Pangolin see?"

Shadiao: "OMG!"

Yiye Zhiqu: "...Guys, keep calm! First of all, as you all guessed, the world behind the portal is on another planet! We're not yet sure if it's in the same star system as the planet where the Aus Continent is, but this is obviously not the same planet!"

Go to the docks for some seagulls: "Pfft!"

Turkey-flavored Rice Crispies: "Nonsense! Isn't this obvious?! (Angry)"

The comments below the post were predominantly full of snark.

But Yiye Zhiqu didn't care and continued to update in the post.

"...The world beyond the fissure is extraordinarily vast; we walked a long time without seeing the end. Initially, Hu Wan and I thought the development team used repeating materials to generate the terrain in real time, but we soon realized it was too simple a thought!"

"No feature in this entire world is repeated! Besides, the number of creatures here is more abundant than we imagined, and the variety is too bewildering! Apart from the commonly seen four-legged jackals, there are also arthropods lurking within the fissures and caves!"

"Unlike the Demons we previously encountered in the Maze, these creatures can't really be called Demons, and they're more like ordinary animals. Firstly, they don't wield Extraordinary Power, and secondly, they don't possess the same spirit as Demons. But bizarrely, they're still different from ordinary animals; after they die, they leave no corpses behind, and instead of Demon Crystals, they drop blood-colored crystals!"

"They're like Elemental Summons! But they are not made up of any element that we are familiar with."

"And what surprised us even more wasn't just this... After crossing a stretch of Wilderness, we quickly encountered a forest!"

"It's not an ordinary forest, but one made up of towering mushrooms! These mushrooms have many similarities to the fibrous mushrooms on the fifth level of the Maze, but whether in number or size, the former is much bigger!"

"I can't describe the shock I felt then, because it's hard to imagine such a massive Mushroom Forest enduring on a plain devoid of water. Or could it be... that it's precisely the existence of those mushrooms that drained the nutrients from the entire planet, keeping it in a state of near death."

"We approached the forest, and soon we stumbled upon even more astonishing things. Not only were those mushrooms alive, but they also seemed to be nurturing life?"
