In the conference room, Bai Yan chuckled with joy in his voice.

"Brother Yan? Did you successfully level up?"

Fu Chao and the others anxiously turned to Bai Yan and asked, eagerness painted across their faces.

The success or failure of Bai Yan's leveling up would determine the future of Demon Island and these people.

After all, everyone was following Brother Yan to make a living.

"Of course, I leveled up successfully!"

Bai Yan laughed heartily, then gestured with his hands and instructed the crowd: "Proceed as planned, you guys go train those ten thousand armed forces, and be ready to join me in expanding the new world at any time!"

"Yes! Brother Yan!"

Fu Chao and the others, faces filled with excitement, all stood up, paying their utmost respects to Bai Yan.

Then they exited the conference room one after another, leaving the space to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan touched his hand, full of anticipation as he clicked on the "Demon Invasion" Talent button.

"Confirm plane search?"

"Yes!"

"Searching for plane..."

A faint black glow emerged on the altar, followed by nine huge black pillars slowly rotating, exuding an ancient and vast aura, filling Bai Yan's Abyss Territory.

However, a moment later, the altar ceased its transformations, and the rotating black pillars also came to a stop, the aura slowly dissipating.

"Search failed, insufficient demon energy, plane search requires: ten thousand points of demon energy!"

A new prompt popped up.

Bai Yan bitterly smiled.

Well, too excited, he had forgotten that searching for planes required demon energy!

With no other choice, Bai Yan could only go on to instruct Fu Chao and the others to continue using the deep-sea fishing equipment to hunt for sea creatures at full capacity, all to supply demon energy.

The deep-sea fishing equipment was a complex, combined device that consumed both electricity and fuel, with significant consumption when operating at full capacity. With Demon Island's resource reserves at the time, it was difficult to maintain such speed for long.

But now was not the time to save Demon Island's resources. Bai Yan had to gather a new batch of demon energy as quickly as possible!

During the process of collecting new demon energy, Bai Yan further understood that the planes opened by the "Demon Invasion" Talent were divided into nine levels, Levels 1 to 9.

Level 1 includes primitive common planes, low-tech planes, low-martial planes, low-magic planes, and so on.

The power of Level 2 planes is much stronger, and the higher the plane level, the stronger the original inhabitants and the more numerous and precious the resources inside the plane!

At the highest, a Level 9 plane, the powerhouses among the original inhabitants could punch through planets and shatter the bright moon with a roar, each of their strengths rivalling legendary mythological warriors!

Among these, there are other planes outside of the nine levels, namely the Divine Kingdom Planes, which are also classified as special planes.

The Divine Kingdom Plane is a private plane created by gods or immortals, and the specific level of the plane depends on the strength of the Divine Kingdom's owner.

Some gods are so powerful that their Divine Kingdoms are likewise strong, with plane levels varying from five to eight, and there's a great deal of uncertainty.

Even more, among the most powerful gods, the level of his Divine Kingdom Plane could exceed Level 9!

As for Earth's plane level...

It left Bai Yan somewhat disappointed; it's merely a Level 1 technology plane!

Well, I admit our technology level is a bit low, but does it really deserve a Level 1 rating?

Bai Yan complained a bit.

However, the strength of the Main Plane does not lie in the plane level and technological strength, but in the developmental potential of the universe in the Main Plane and the strength of the plane's barriers.

Moreover, the Main Plane might seem like a technological plane, but the highest power standard it possesses is not so simple.

Not to mention other Abnormal beings, even the Pope, Master Blood Dragon, Sima Xuanxuan, and others at the peak of their power are comparable to demigods.

Their formidable strength places them at an overlord level in the fifth and sixth level planes!

It's just that the barriers of the Main Plane are extremely strong, suppressing the strength of these individuals so that their destructive power cannot fully erupt.

Moreover, the most peculiar aspect of the Main Plane is that while every sub-plane has a lifespan and will face destruction one day,

the Main Plane alone will undergo an infinite cycle of destruction and rebirth, never truly vanishing...

As for the introduction to the plane levels, Bai Yan just glanced over it briefly.

He was more concerned with another piece of information.

Using the Talent[Demon Invasion], the Planes one enters are all Secondary Planes, no matter the level of the Secondary Plane, the time flow rate between them and the Main Plane is 1 to 720.

That is to say, an hour in the Main Plane equates to a month in the Secondary Plane!

Such an overpowered time flow ratio undoubtedly provides Bai Yan with an immense advantage!

Demon Island's military training, research, development, production, etc., can all take advantage of the Secondary Plane to save a lot of time!

Therefore, that is the reason why Bai Yan is so anxious to upgrade the Demon Territory.

What he lacks now is time!

The journey to traverse the Plane for the first time is imperative!

In the next half a month, the underwater hunting facilities on Demon Island provided Bai Yan with more than ten million Demon energy units.

After careful consideration, Bai Yan cultivated the strength of the 10,000 armed personnel on Demon Island to B+ level, then selected non-commissioned officers to be cultivated to A+ level of strength.

A general Level 2 Demon is equivalent to the strength of a B+ level Abnormal, Level 3 Demon is equivalent to A+ level strength, Level 4 Demon is equivalent to S+ level strength, and Level 5 Demon is SS+ or SSS level strength!

More than ten million energy units were almost all used up, leaving a little over one million.

Bai Yan reserved the remaining Demon energy as the startup and reserve energy for traversing the Planes; after all, it's unpredictable what will happen after Bai Yan traverses the Plane—better to keep some extra energy on hand.

Then Bai Yan instructed Fu Chao to lead Chen Fei, Chen Yudong, and the other 5,000 armed forces to remain behind defending Demon Island.

Fu Chao and Chen Fei are stable in character, Chen Yudong has good computational abilities, and with the concealment of Demon Island, it should suffice to protect Demon Island for a while and wait for Bai Yan's return.

Meanwhile, Bai Yan led Li Xu, Qin Jiuluo, Zhang Kailei, and the other 5,000 armed forces to conquer the new world.

"Brother Yan, when are we likely to return from this trip?"

During the army's readiness preparation, Li Xu excitedly whispered to Bai Yan.

This is his first time going with Brother Yan to explore a new world!

According to the flow rate between the Main Plane and the Secondary Plane, if Bai Yan spends a year inside, it would only be twelve hours in the Main Plane.

"Three days if quick, a week if slow. The remaining matters on Demon Island—I'm relying on you all, Xiao Chao! Protect our home well!"

Bai Yan patted Fu Chao's shoulder.

"Pop~!"

Fu Chao, along with everyone, showed their respect and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Brother Yan, we will ensure the task is completed!"

"Brother Yan, you must come back soon! Sister and I will be waiting for you at home! You can't let anything happen to you!"

An Xiaowan bit her lip, looking at Bai Yan with a pitiful expression.

She really wanted to accompany Bai Yan, but his mission this time was to develop a new world—a place full of risks. Taking An Xiaowan would only add unpredictable factors.

To avoid any accidents, Bai Yan had no choice but to refuse this silly girl's request.

"Silly girl, I promise I'll be back soon! It will only be a few days at most!"

Bai Yan smiled, not willing to risk any danger befalling the ladies.

"We need to trust Bai Yan."

An Yan gently embraced An Xiaowan and said softly.

"Mhm."

An Xiaowan hummed a reply, but her beautiful, watery eyes were still fixed on Bai Yan, brimming with reluctance.

"Let's go, Li Xu, to the Central Hall for the battle platform!"

Bai Yan waved his hand cheerfully, instructing Li Xu to take the 5,000 soldiers of Demon Island to follow him.

Bai Yan planned to open the Plane portal at the battle platform because it was spacious enough to allow for the smooth passage of 5,000 people.

Originally, Fu Chao was ready to have Bai Yan take some of Demon Island's newly developed unmanned combat drones and heavy firepower with them, but due to the uncertainties of the first Plane search, aside from some light individual combat equipment, Bai Yan didn't take anything else.

After all, for the Demon Servants, their own power is the most formidable!

"Yes, Brother Yan!"

Li Xu shouted loudly, leading the troops in a jog and entering the Central Hall in an orderly fashion.

Bai Yan instructed Fu Chao a few more words, then entered the Central Hall with a smile amidst the worried looks of Fu Chao, An Yan, and the others.

The Demon's new journey has begun!
