Pepper's explanation was a little convoluted, but it was pretty much what Jingli had in mind.

The base will continue to receive more people, its strength will increase, and the orcs will establish their own war zones and develop their own forces.

With Jingli and Yuan on the team, the orcs' task is to accelerate their growth as quickly as possible, reaching a level where they can help Jingli and Yuan stabilize the rear.

However, the number and growth rate of the orcs have their limits, so this period cannot be too long. Otherwise, the more "Divine Light" members there are, the larger the base will be, and the greater the pressure on the orcs' resistance will be. Once this time limit is exceeded, they will be completely overwhelmed by "Divine Light" and unable to wipe out the enemy. If this "vacation instance" becomes known in the game, the orcs' situation will be even more dangerous.

Jingli nodded and said to Jiaohe, "Therefore, we must close the entrance in one go."

Once the orcs have determined the location of the entrance, the battle will begin.

What none of the three said was that they all knew this was more than just a war.

They couldn't bring in everyone from the "Divine Light" guild, so when they discovered that those who came in were dying one after another and the entrance was blocked, the guild couldn't just sit and wait to die. They would definitely try to find another entrance to come in.

Before all this is completely over, there will surely be more invaders.

What Jingli can do during this time is to make this battle as big as possible and take away as many of the main combat forces of "Divine Light" as possible.

What he can do next is to enter the so-called "temple" and the so-called "game hall" to create more chaos and prevent them from having a "vacation".

But during this period, the beastmen will have to grow on their own.

However, Jingli believes that once this wave of invaders is defeated, the orcs will definitely be united for a period of time.

Even if this state cannot last forever in the context of time.

But this period of time is enough.

Today's celebration was much simpler than before, because before the celebration, the efficient Zhihe Jiao had already assigned the tasks for the next stage.

Several streamlined squads were tasked with continuing to venture out to find tribal forces that could be united, while one squad took the cubs to the vicinity of the base to determine the location of a stronghold and begin construction and stockpiling food.

As for the tribe, in addition to the small orcs continuing to research weapons, Jiao will begin to train a new successor besides Zhi. Her skills are very important, so she will stay at the stronghold with the main force to monitor the surrounding crisis and react quickly.

Jingli and Yuan, along with 6058, followed the team with cubs to the stronghold, but they did not participate in the team's work because they had more important things to do—to monitor the situation at the Divine Light Base, to provide intelligence to the orcs and to determine the location of the entrance.

With everything arranged, the beastmen's enthusiasm soared even higher.

The present victory and the potential future filled them with anticipation. The celebration turned into a mobilization meeting. The adult orcs held up the liquor from the invaders' backpacks and drank it all in one gulp. In their tipsy state, some of them were laughing foolishly, while others were shedding tears.

They thought that the days of living in constant fear, hiding from the terrible invaders, were about to end.

Their tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, will be even better.

They no longer need to fear power, because they are becoming powerful themselves.

The nights in this world are cold, and the beastmen gradually drifted off to sleep amidst their excitement, feeling as if they had been tempered.

Scorched by the flames of celebration and cooled by the cold night, they felt as if they had become a weapon, invincible and omnipotent.

On the other side, Jingli squatted next to her nest, touching this and that.

"Take this skin with you."

He was referring to the complete hide of a long-tailed beast that the orcs gave him when he first arrived at the tribe.

He used it as a curtain to hang at the entrance of the cave.

At that time, he also thought about how to make the cave door so that it could simultaneously ensure both light transmission and privacy.

As a result, apart from the little cat sleeping there for a while at the beginning, he didn't stay in that cave for long.

It's all covered in dust now.

There was also the wooden house that grew from the "seed" given to it by Lu Mingguang. When the house first grew, Jingli racked her brains trying to figure out how to make the appearance of the house seem more normal, and she also seriously considered what each room should be used for.

In the end, it turned out that it wasn't of much use except for coming back to sleep at night.

With the exposure of the Intruder System, the setups he used for disguise (such as the bedroom used to confuse the orcs) seemed somewhat childish. Now, some orc cabins have also been fitted with items that resemble beds, and tables and chairs have become popular in the tribe. Apart from large gatherings, people are gradually getting used to sitting in chairs, serving food, and enjoying it on the table.

The more agile orcs have already learned to use chopsticks from Jingli.

Everything seems the same as before, but it's not quite the same anymore.

The "barbarians" the invaders speak of are slowly becoming like them; the truly barbaric ones are these uninvited invaders.

"I'm so reluctant to leave. I feel like I've never really lived in this house properly."

Jingli had already packed her things and was leaving the Cangbei tribe the next day.

He didn't have much; most of it was given to him by the orcs.

“It’s not just this house that you’re reluctant to part with, is it? We have many more of the same seeds,” 6058 said.

Jingli also fell silent.

What he couldn't bear to part with wasn't just this house; it was merely the smallest of the seed he had selected.

He was somewhat reluctant to leave this world.

It's not quite the same world as before.

Once I leave the Cangbei tribe tomorrow, there's a very high chance I won't be coming back.

Once he closes the entrance to the "divine light" and clears out the invaders from this world, he will leave.

His time here was too short, but we experienced so much together.

Perhaps it's because, in the past, the secret of "saving the world" ultimately rested solely on his own shoulders.

But the world is different; this is no longer a secret.

It is their common goal.

besides……

Leading a group of orcs who were more adept at using their own bodies as weapons, and growing them into a team capable of creating new weapons on their own, Jingli felt her heart pounding.

He didn't quite understand this feeling. 6058 said, "[They are to you, in some ways, like you are to me.]"

The chick effect exists in young birds, and this effect still exists for those experiencing the role of "parent" for the first time.

That's why I'll miss it.

He feared that the world he had painstakingly built would disappear again over time.

But it was also tonight that Jingli learned the meaning of "letting go".

Just as Yuan said:

"Good power and bad power both come from my power."

Therefore, good development or bad development, as long as it belongs to this world, that is its essence.

Jingli looked at Yuan, who had transformed back into a cat-like little tiger, staring at Jingli with his big, watery eyes, inviting him to fall asleep quickly.

Jingli gave him a squeeze, smiled, tidied up a bit, and fell into a deep sleep.
