Following the guidance of the Dragonfly Travel Officer, Wu Hen and Yu Yu arrived at Blue Port.
This Red Port is situated in the Insect Ocean. For the majority of insects, the ocean is actually a vacuum zone where they cannot live, but so insects, like most humans, still prefer the greenery and the azure waves even when on land. They share a common trait with humans: water as the source of life, harboring an inherent fondness for it.
Blue Port Town is a tourist haven for high-dinsional insects, attracting high-dinsional life from different galaxies here to spend every year. The entry fee energy stone that Wu Hen previously paid is actually the universal currency Yuan You.
Upon entering Blue Port, Wu Hen and Yu Yu pretended to visit their restaurants. The high-dinsional insects' restaurants are inedible because their greatest satisfaction cos from burrowing into a massive food entity and chewing from the inside out, consuming it completely.
No matter how elegant high-dinsional insects are, their primitive habits haven't changed. Their restaurants are extraordinarily large, akin to a plaza, where insect chefs present food as large as a small house to diners. These foods have custom-made "dining spots" for diners like Wu Hen, for instance, whose spot resembles a large cavern into which they can crawl and feast wantonly.
The food isn't disgusting as it's not so rotting colossal beast, but high-dinsional insects are exceptionally fastidious about freshness. Typically, when eating, the at beast on the plate is still alive, though its sense of pain has been numbed using spider poison liquid.
Wu Hen and Yu Yu also knew that "outsiders" like themselves would be subjected to temporary surveillance upon entering, so they engaged in activities typical of high-dinsional insect tourists. Only after the surveillance vanished could they proceed with their true agenda.
Next to Blue Port is an island that stands out amid red shimring tides. In the center of this island is a spring, which is precisely the wormhole that corroded the Nuwa God End.
Such corroding wormholes aren't considered miracles among high-dinsional insects but are relatively rare. Many high-dinsional insects find it challenging to navigate freely through lower-dinsional worlds, only capable of maintaining control through pseudo-dinsion barrier puppet manipulation, as their true form cannot descend.
Understanding this, Wu Hen realized that neither the Black Unihorn nor the Jade Lady Mantis was dead. Even if they forcibly infiltrated Nuwa God End in their high-dinsional form and were killed by humans, it was rely an abandoned shell, as most high-dinsional insects possess several such vessels.
In the constellation-scale setting, Blue Port is a town but essentially a high-dinsional insect kingdom. Upon investigating further, Wu Hen found that the Black Unihorn is akin to a local emperor reigning over the area, profiting from cultivating illicit plants and developing illegal thods...
In the formal laws of high-dinsional insects, high-dinsional life isn't allowed to erode lower-dinsional life. Yet, the Black Unihorn and Jade Lady Mantis exploited legal loopholes; their experintal subjects are humans who, in high-dinsional insect law, are comparable to stray cats and dogs—lacking systemized protection and without explicit provisions for punishing abusers.
After suffering losses in previous battles with humans, the Black Unihorn temporarily sealed off the Spring Eye Island, barring access to tourists, while the Jade Lady Mantis focused her efforts on her Blue Harbor, striving to attract high-dinsional nobles from distant galaxies for "investnt."
Wu Hen also realized that the persistent presence of such a wormhole in Lun Mountain City remains a latent threat. Even as Divine Realm becos part of the high-dinsional world and humans evolve toward mythical combat power levels, it's uncertain whether conflict will erupt between high-dinsional insects and humans.

"Welco, very welco! I never imagined our remote place would receive such distinguished guests. I hope the citizens of my little town have not caused you any displeasure these days." The Jade Lady Mantis smiled warmly, emitting a scent designed to influence the biological signals of other beings, fostering goodwill toward her.
However, the Jade Lady Mantis dared not release this scent excessively, as doing so would be provocative to other high-dinsional insects. She mastered the art of restraint, never daring to overstep before a Butterfly Fairy.
"We have a fondness for islands, especially small ones amid azure seas. We also enjoy all vibrant micro planets. We heard that on the other end of your spring is a lower-dinsional world, brimming with vitality and at a stage where they have grasped the universe's truth and are striving for evolution. We would like to purchase this island to admire at leisure in our bedroom." Wu Hen directly stated his intent to the Jade Lady Mantis without circumlocution.
"Ah, sir, it is a non-sale item. You must understand we have a factory that has already cloned vast amounts of human skin, allowing our neurons to connect to these skins and enter their world. This will beco Blue Port's most lucrative future project. We warmly welco your investnt to beco shareholders, but direct purchase isn't feasible." The Jade Lady Mantis explained.
"What do you an by human skin?" Wu Hen asked.
"It's a lower-dinsional world with certain defense chanisms. Should we enter with our main bodies, on one hand, it would violate legal sanctions, and on the other, our powerful life vitality would incinerate that world to ashes. It's so fragile that even a casual spit from us would corrode all their mountains. The human skin we crafted is our existence compressed to a ten-thousandth, creating a shell perfectly able to integrate into their society without being discovered by their creator, allowing us remote control via our high-dinsional nerves, accomplishing dinsion-hopping." The Jade Lady Mantis explained patiently.
