"We saw with our own eyes a mushroom-like creature resembling a palm tree, spitting out a humanoid being from a pouch-like structure underneath its cap!"

"That thing was incredibly ugly but surprisingly resilient. It fell from over two meters high without any injuries and immediately started walking and climbing upon hitting the ground! We observed from a distance for a while and suddenly saw its kin approaching from the depths of the Mushroom Forest, calling out to it 'Kao' 'Kao' a few times, then tied it to its back, seemingly planning to take it somewhere else."

"Intuition tells me we might have triggered some important plot. However, just as we were about to follow, the 'Kao' carrying the baby suddenly noticed us and immediately attacked us!"

"The Translation Crystal couldn't translate its language, and it refused to communicate with us, forcing us to fight back! It's worth mentioning that after we killed it, it didn't turn into the blood-red crystals like other creatures in this world, but rather left behind a visible corpse!"

"We did a simple autopsy on the body and found that its internal structure is highly similar to human anatomy, except that the composition of its bones and muscles is different, resembling more plant proteins, fats, and fibers!"

"Incredible, isn't it?! A lifeless planet with only mushrooms, demons that turn to ash upon death, and the humanoid beings born from mushrooms... This place doesn't feel like a dungeon instance attached to the Maze but more like an entirely new world! Then we moved along the edge of the forest and discovered castle-like man-made structures. From the construction of the castles' doors, windows, and so on, it is very likely that the rulers who once lived on this planet were highly similar to us... just like those 'Kaos'."

"Thinking of what happened on the 5th floor of the Maze, I have an immature hypothesis—the desolate world behind the rift is very likely a world that was once conquered by Chaos! And those 'Kaos' born from plants are both the minions loyal to some deity of Chaos and a crude imitation of the 'Conquerors' by the 'Conquered'."

Yiye Zhiqu updated a lot of content in the post.

It's less a strategy summary and more a first-person investigation report.

Some players praised it highly after reading, while others, along with cloud players, felt it was all fluff.

An entire gas giant planet and you're coming up with so much... could it not just be a texture?

As for those mushrooms that give birth, sounds like there might be something to them.

Gou Shi chugged the sewage: "Humanoid beings born from fungi... damn, they're green skins!"

Gou Shi: "Well, snap, have we now encountered the real Extraordinary Power? (sly)"

Shadiao: "Wagggg!!!"

Little late to fill my belly: "What are you guys talking about? Why don't I understand. (dazed)"

Hu Wan: "They're making Warhammer jokes... it does look a bit like it, but I think there's a big difference, at least we haven't found any traces of Extraordinary Power. (sideways glance)"

Yiye Zhiqu: "But they do possess Extraordinary Power! Speaking of which, what's the situation on the 5th floor of the Maze right now? Is anyone there?"

Little Demon: "Me me me! I'm there!"

Yiye Zhiqu: "Could you take a look and tell me what's happening near the rift?"

Little Demon: "Right now, it's Ogres and goblins holding the area! But it's not just them, there are also some guys that look like Beastmen, probably those 'Kaos' you were talking about."

Gou Shi: "I feel like 'Fungus Folk' is a more distinguishable name. (sly)"

Tables and Chairs: "Suddenly, I kind of want to taste what it's like."

Lele: "Damn, you're not serious, are you?!"

Little Demon: "Never mind the name, there's a lot of them! Looks like there are thousands! Not just that, I saw from mid-air that on the other side of the rift seems to be another world. Inside there are disordered shacks, and walls made of what looks like either birch wood or mushroom stems... Right, and also an altar located right in the center!"

Hu Wan: "It seems that those 'Kaos' are transported to our side through that altar."

Yiye Zhiqu: "If this game had a recording feature, or even an upload screenshot function. If we could get a glimpse of what that altar looks like, we might be able to find it there."

Chugged the chemical tank: "What do you need that thing for?"

Yiye Zhiqu: "Of course to go home... can't be dying to return, right."

Dragon Roaming I Can Eat: "Stop looking, brother."

Dragon Walk·Super Fierce Warrior: "Give it up!"

Dragon Roaming·Run No. 1: "You won't lose much XP, really!"

Yiye Zhiqu: "..."

Hu Wan: "You guys are seriously savage..."

"..."

The discussion quickly shifted from the new map to the exploration of the new version.

The players speculated wildly, unanimously thinking the game designers were planning a big move!

However, unbeknownst to them, the designers being called out also learned about the matters they had just discussed only after reading the forum posts.

After reading Yiye Zhiqu's investigation report from start to finish, Luo Yan was not only shocked but also amazed.

"...It seems that the speculative analysis of Hell's academic world was actually right?"

Although this world has not even completed global navigation and there is still debate over 'geocentrism' and 'heliocentrism,' the scholars of Demon City still realized the existence of other worlds, and that Chaos might come from another world.
