Orin watched as a domain suddenly appeared not far from his own, and then slowly disappeared within a few seconds.

Without a doubt, this was a demigod who had just broken free from their protective period. The area around it had already been scanned by Orin, and there were absolutely no other domains present.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of the domain, which was different from random teleportation emerging from a vortex, immediately led him to conclude that the other party had made a deliberate entry.

Orin immediately issued a divine command to his followers within his domain: "My people, a new trial is about to begin. A new continent has emerged. Gather, invade, plunder, and bring me a new victory."

At the same time, his domain began to move toward the location where the other domain had appeared. A scanning card in his hand turned into a light spot, confirming that the opponent had not immediately teleported away and was still in place. After the previous invasion experience, Orin was now much more prepared.

The jackal warriors within the domain immediately became excited, howling to the sky. Not long ago, they had just experienced the victory of a war.

This victory had brought them abundant food and land. Every tribe had been freed from hunger, and some of the weaker cubs had gained hope of survival due to the ample food.

Seventy thousand elite jackal warriors and thirty thousand newly recruited soldiers had already gathered at the edge of the domain, awaiting the opening of the invasion portal. A large number of ordinary jackals also left their tribes and gathered toward this spot.

Varek, a newly adult jackal, was one of the thirty thousand new soldiers. Recently, after his faith level increased, he had successfully joined the jackal army and became a full-time warrior.

He was currently excitedly staying beside his squad leader, eagerly awaiting the opening of the invasion portal.

Varek's home was a small tribe five kilometers away from the gathering point. When he was born, this domain had already entered a state of resource scarcity.

Of the brothers and companions who were born at the same time as him, only he had survived to adulthood, thanks to his stronger physique.

Now, he had just started his own family with two mates and six cubs. The resource scarcity in the domain forced him to consider abandoning five of the cubs to ensure that the strongest one could survive to adulthood.

Recently, a war had brought this impoverished domain a large amount of resources, and Varek's tribe had received plenty of food, enough for everyone to eat their fill.

Not far from the tribe, what was once an empty void had turned into a vast grassland—an offering from the gods to the jackals, a reward for the victors.

Varek noticed the changes in his living environment. All six of his cubs were now receiving enough food, and with gratitude toward the gods, he had finally become a devout believer.

When he received the news that the army was expanding, Varek immediately signed up to join. He knew that warriors would receive more food, and now that he had become a devout believer, he successfully entered the ranks and even received armor that covered his vital organs.

"Caius, what’s the other world like? You participated in the last war—tell us about it!"

The wait was always long.

Varek could not suppress his inner restlessness and pulled out a piece of dried meat from his waist pouch, handing it to his boasting squad leader, asking the question he had already asked countless times.

"Heh, little brat, this time I’ll tell you something you don’t know." Caius, the older jackal, took the dried meat from Varek and popped it into his mouth. He was a veteran who had been around since the domain was first established, when he had just reached adulthood. Compared to the younger ones around him, he was quite knowledgeable.

When the other new recruits heard that Caius was going to share something new, they immediately gathered around, their faces full of anticipation.

"You probably all know what the other world we went to last time was like," Caius said as he saw the surrounding jackals nodding in unison.

"Actually, the other world we’re going to this time might be different. I heard the shaman say that every other world has its own land and species. In some worlds, rabbits can even grow up to five meters long, and catching one would be enough to feed the entire tribe…"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding jackals immediately gasped. As Caius continued his tale, the new recruits gathered around, their excited voices echoing in the air, making the wait less agonizing.

Time passed quickly.

Soon, Orin's domain had completed its invasion preparations, and it sped toward the location where William's domain was.

At the same time, a large transparent tentacle stretched out from the surface of his domain and pierced through the protection layer of the other domain, connecting to a patch of land at the edge of the opponent's domain.

Stolen novel; please report.

Two doors, like light curtains, opened simultaneously in both domains, with swirling green light inside, signaling that the portals had stabilized.

Varek was eagerly listening to Caius’s story when, not far from their position, a portal suddenly appeared, causing the newly recruited jackals who had never participated in an invasion to freeze in place.

Upon seeing this, Caius's face broke into a joyful grin. He shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

At that moment, a well-built jackal warrior ran past them, shouting, "The first ten thousand nearest the portal, enter immediately!"

The jackals in this area immediately howled to the sky and rushed toward the portal. Varek’s squad also followed Caius, hurrying toward the portal.

William, however, was completely caught off guard. He had just hidden his domain and was calculating where to place the newly purchased resources and terrain when suddenly, the invasion began.

A huge transmission light curtain appeared at the edge of his domain, and the jackals—hundreds of them—had already charged into his domain.

Seeing that these jackals had simple half-body armor, most of them were unarmed or wielding poorly fitting metal spears and short weapons, William quickly assessed the situation.

"These jackals are likely a basic species," William thought, observing them. "Their armor and weapons are crude, indicating that their technology is underdeveloped. The weapons they carry are probably purchased or looted. This first wave is just the vanguard, sent to test the situation. I need to gather more information..."

Without hesitation, William began mobilizing his swarm.

In an instant, his swarm was reorganized, including 5000 piercing wolf spiders, 3000 scythe cockroaches, and 2000 poison sting dragonflies. They moved to intercept the jackals, who had already entered the two-meter-high grass.

At the same time, the rest of the swarm was quietly gathering, maintaining a distance of one kilometer from the invaders, awaiting further instructions.

Orin, as a demigod, could not observe this domain like a spiritual being soaring above it. To see into the domain, he had to rely on the eyes of his followers.

At that moment, he had possessed the leader of the invading jackals, seeing through his eyes and building a mental map of the opponent’s domain based on the information from surrounding followers.

"Strange—this fusion of forest and grassland terrain. Where are the opponent's followers? Why haven’t they appeared yet? Could it be that the other demigod is not present?" Orin thought, pondering several possibilities.

He immediately issued a divine command to the leader of the jackals: "Advance, search, and plunder..."

Feeling the divine voice within him, the leader of the jackals immediately gave the order to his troops.

The jackals began to move faster, exploring the terrain in groups of ten, advancing deeper into the grasslands.

One of the jackal squads, carefully moving forward, was feeling a strange sense of being watched.

"Caius, since we entered the grass, I keep feeling like something’s watching us," said Varek, his unease growing.

"Yes, I feel the same way," Caius replied, realizing what Varek meant.

"I do too," several other jackals also spoke up. With their beastly instincts, they all shared the same feeling, though they hadn’t spotted an enemy. The sense of being watched made them uneasy.

"Stay alert!" Caius, sensing the same danger, immediately drew the dagger he had wrapped in leather—taken from a goblin during the last war.

"Slash..." As he swung his arm with strength, the surrounding grass was cut down, revealing a piercing wolf spider lurking beneath.

The spider, previously motionless, immediately launched an attack the moment it was exposed.

With a sharp screech, it leapt toward Caius’s face with incredible speed.

A battle-hardened Caius was startled but not panicked. He raised his dagger and swung at the spider’s path.

The sharp dagger, combined with his great strength, easily split the spider in two.

The spider's screech seemed to signal an attack, and suddenly, the once calm grasslands erupted into chaos. All the exploring squads were now under attack.

Caius quickly turned around and saw a scythe cockroach flying toward the back of Varek's head. He shouted and slapped the insect out of the air.

The other jackals were less fortunate. Two of them were killed instantly by piercing wolf spiders, whose venomous stingers pierced their skulls.

Two others tried to charge at the swarm but were killed by dragonflies that struck them in midair.

"Retreat! Everyone, fall back! Call for reinforcements!"

Caius immediately shouted, but the swarm of creatures surged forward, blocking the jackals' retreat. It was too late to escape.

As the battle raged on, Orin's mind was fixated on the swarm. He could see their movements but had not yet fully understood what kind of creature they were. He was already preparing for his next move...
