Looking at the empty flame plants around him, the fiery demon murmured in confusion, "Strange, Lord God, you came here just for a little bit of spirit fruit?"

Hmm, it shook its head, not understanding. Oh well, it couldn't possibly guess what the Supreme God was thinking. It would better go to sleep.

The fiery red demon continued to sleep peacefully. It wasn't worried that the main god would come looking for trouble. A superior godhood was a great treasure to it, but it was of little use to the main god.

......

Meanwhile, Chen Ping, who had disappeared into the volcano, reappeared on a deserted island in the Flaming Mountain Islands. That's right, he was about to start buying island treasure chests.

Chen Ping inquired about the survival system and discovered that these deserted islands, devoid of even a blade of grass, were priced at the lowest level: 1 million gold coins.

It's alright, not too expensive. Of course, the island chests you get now are not comparable to those you get during the beginner phase.

During the beginner phase, island chests could yield special island resources from all sea areas. However, now, island chests obtained from a specific sea area can only yield special island resources from that sea area.

However, Chen Ping only needs island fragments to upgrade his island, so he doesn't pay much attention to special island resources.

Chen Ping started counting and quickly figured out the number of deserted islands that could be destroyed. There were a total of 146 deserted islands, of which 87 were worth 1 million gold coins each. The remaining deserted islands were larger, so their prices ranged from 1 million to 2 million gold coins.

The final cost was over 100 million gold coins, but Chen Ping didn't have that many. Fortunately, he could use ancient gold coins as a substitute.

After calculating everything, without the people on the main island of the Flaming Mountain Islands being aware of it, all the deserted islands that Chen Ping had counted silently sank.

Chen Ping had no idea what their reaction was afterward; they must have been utterly shocked.

They soon left the Flaming Mountain Islands in a small boat and headed off to other places.

......

The 146 island treasure chests, plus the 146 sunken desert islands, gave Chen Ping 1824 island fragments.

Not bad, Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, we can upgrade the island a few levels now.

The 146 island treasure chests actually yielded local specialties of this chaotic sea, including the Devil Fruit from the Whirlpool Sea.

[Devil Fruit Tree: A special island-specific resource; it grows 1 to 3 Devil Fruits each time, without a specific timeframe.]

[Identification Description: A special spiritual plant formed in the whirlpool sea. The energy within its fruit is constantly torn apart by the surrounding whirlpools, forming unique spiritual fruits. Because the energy form undergoes a dramatic change after being torn apart, each spiritual fruit has different abilities.]

There are also flame-infused spiritual plants from the Flaming Mountain Islands, as well as some special spiritual plants that Chen Ping has never seen before, totaling seven kinds of special island resources.

After reviewing the island's resources, Chen Ping took out the nautical chart again to see where he should go this time.

Well, Chen Ping quickly found the place he wanted to go. That's right, it was Gru's territory. He wondered if Gru had left with Saiyabes.

Once the decision was made, Chen Ping quickly steered the small boat toward the destination.

Moving forward at full speed...

......

Chen Ping stroked his chin, looked at the island in front of him, and murmured, "Hmm, how long has it been since I've seen a dungeon island? I didn't expect there to be a dungeon island outside the newbie area."

However, given his current strength, the items on the dungeon island are basically useless to him, right?

Well, although that's what Chen Ping thought, his feet still involuntarily led him toward the island.

Soon, Chen Ping saw the portal to the island instance.

[Instance: Insect Bone Valley]

[None]

[Recommended strength: Epic level or above]

[Clearance condition: Kill the Ohmu]

[Special Dungeon Drops: Insect Eggs, King Insect Shells, Insect King Bone Flute, Insect Fruits]

Chen Ping: "The recommendation level has been changed to strength, but the others are no different."

Chen Ping walked straight in.

After entering the instance, Chen Ping looked around at the scenery. He thought it would be desolate, but he didn't expect there to be so many trees and flowers.

Chen Ping slowly walked towards the center. In most dungeons, the boss is located in the center of the island.

Another point is, given his current strength, is it possible for him to gain more experience?

Soon, Chen Ping saw the insect. Well, it looked quite unique, not disgusting at all, but rather kind of cute.

Looking at the few insects rolling around in front of him, Chen Ping immediately made an identification.

【Name: Self-Destructing Cute Bug】

[Strength: Epic]

[Talent: Self-destruct buff, explosion doubled]

[Skills: Cuteness, Self-Destruction, Rolling]

[Assessment Recommendation: A single fire attack of the same level would cause them to self-destruct prematurely.]

(⊙o⊙)…

Chen Ping stared at the "cuteness" technique, speechless for a long time. What kind of skills were these? Was this because they looked so adorable? After all, no one would have imagined that such cute insects would be self-destructing bugs, right?

Chen Ping cast a magic shield on himself and then walked over.

Upon spotting Chen Ping, the self-destructing adorable insects instantly rolled towards him at a remarkable speed.

Just when Chen Ping thought they would self-destruct as soon as they got close, they actually stopped when they came to his side, and then stared at him with their six big, cute eyes.

Uh, Chen Ping felt a faint spiritual force tempting him, making him think that these insects were really cute, and why didn't he hug them properly?

Chen Ping stared speechlessly at the insects. Was this the effect of the "cuteness technique"? A mental charm skill?

Well, it's actually quite powerful; at least against beings of the same level, it's very difficult to resist.

Several insects opened their eyes wide, but when they saw that Chen Ping hadn't taken the bait, they all turned red instantly.

BANG BANG BANG!!!

All the self-destructing little bugs exploded instantly. Well, in Chen Ping's opinion, they were somewhat furious. Hehe.

After sensing the information transmitted by the magic shield, hmm, the power of the self-destruction is not bad, close to the legendary level, at the peak of the epic level.

It seems that when beings of the same level encounter these insects, it's best to strike first.

Chen Ping continued forward.

Wow, this is hilarious! These bugs even have the ability to act cute? Are they some kind of cute bug race?

Along the way, all the insects he encountered were adorable, but when they got into a fight, they were deadly and extremely ferocious, a stark contrast. So Chen Ping simply blew them all away, leaving them as ashes.

Upon arriving at the center, Chen Ping met Wang Chong.

Hmm, it's quite big, about five or six meters tall, all pink, and has a cute appearance, but its black eyes are blood red.
