440 Eschaton (1/2)
How did spiritual energy come about?
Originally, Fang Yuan attributed it to the Spiritual King Comet.
However, after Fang Yuan received the array inheritance from Jade Palace Faction and saw the path they chose, he wavered.
”Who knows, maybe the Spiritual King Comet is just a harbinger or an omen... I'm afraid the truth behinds the scene might be beyond my imagination...”
Fang Yuan mumbled to himself and unknowingly tightened his grip on the silk book.
Actually, the array Jade Palace Faction developed to target the Spiritual King Comet felt familiar to Fang Yuan.
And that peculiarity was shockingly from Sage Changli's 6 and 9 Array.
”The 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array and 9 Heavenly Sky Net Array were the fruits of Sage Changli's lifelong labour and he has never visited this realm before, I guess all roads lead to Rome?”
”Spiritual energy... realm, really interesting!”
Fang Yuan sat on the seat of the head of the Jade Palace Faction. After ruminating for a long time, a smile finally appeared on his face.
Outside the secret cave, Bull's Head Mountain.
”Adoptive father?!”
Light shined and Fang Yuan appeared. Lorita and Angel immediately went beside him and hugged his arms.
”Eh, this hollow is the White Jade Capital in the skies, where the Jade Palace Faction based themselves in last time...”
Fang Yuan waved his hand and a door of light appeared.
”You all can go in and look for your own opportunities!”
At such a level of cultivation, Fang Yuan did not have many desires. Even the source of spiritual energy inside the hollow was dispensable to him.
If Fang Yuan did not break through to the 5th Grade of his Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell, form his area and then devour more spiritual energy, the ultimate outcome of his body would be that it would explode and die.
”What?”
Leader Cai and Wang Xin were delighted after hearing such, ”We are included too?”
”Of course, after all, this cave was left behind by the ancestors of our Chinese Country for us descendants...”
Fang Yuan smiled and answered them, he felt as though he had awakened his talent of being a wealth granting child.
In actual fact, not only did he not take any of the treasures inside the cave, he even left behind many things. The things he left behind were all the wild thoughts about spiritual energy techniques he silently came up with these few years.
If any fated person were to pick it up, the outcome would be... Hehe...
”Also, regarding the mutation of the spiritual beasts here, they are most probably due to the vapourisation of spiritual energy from inside this cave. It would be no problem after I seal it again...”
Fang Yuan continued, ”Although I cannot resolve the danger of beasts injuring people, your mission is completed.”
”Thank you very much, Sir!”
Leader Cai thanked profusely and was slightly puzzled, ”Why can't the dangers be completely removed even after removing its source?”
”This is naturally due to the spread of the original influence...”
Fang Yuan gave a cold laughter, ”Previously, the increase of ferocious beasts in this area was due to the spiritual energy vapourising from the cave. But from this year onwards, the concentration of spiritual energy on our planet, on land, in the skies and around us has spiked. Thus, more and more beasts would appear and that small village at the foot of the mountain would be gone sooner or later...”
In actual fact, the situation was worse than that.
Concentrated amounts of spiritual droplets could even interfere with firearms. More seriously, it could even influence nuclear reactions.
If the powers of technology continued to decline, supernormal beings would rise above and gain the powers to crush everything.
Fang Yuan's gaze deepened as he thought of what Farquhar said.
Such a realm where spiritual energy was resurging was like a feast to them. But to the normal people or even normal organisation forces, it was truly like a calamity.
…...
Golden Eagle Federation, West Continent.
On the blue seas, a naval fleet was cutting across the waves in high-spirits like a sharp sword.
Even though the federation was met with a rare massive flood that flooded over half the country, the people of the federation who were at the peak of civilisation still rebuilt their country in ten years with their strong, pioneering and relentless spirits. Now, the Golden Eagle Federation was prospering. Not only did they fully recovered from the disaster, they were now making use of the third occurrence and the changes in spiritual energy to increase their influence and powers by forcefully deploying troops to aid smaller countries.
On the deck of a battleship, the navy Commanding Officer's chest was emblazoned with shiny insignias. He was holding a telescope and looking at the calm seas.
”Commanding Officer!”
Suddenly, an orderly soldier went forward and saluted him, ”From the latest news, Westpost Country has already agreed to accept all of our federation's conditions. From today onwards, they will hand over Panda Harbour for our navy to set up our forward operating base. They will also bear all our military fees and their only request would be to assist them in annihilating the wild beasts on their soils! Currently, the president's orders have already been passed down.”
”No problem!”
The white-haired Commanding Officer's face was red with glee, ”Immediately send down my command, our entire fleet will rush over to Panda Harbour at full speed... those mixed-blood mutts can't even keep their own countries' soil and it's good that they handed them to our Golden Eagle Federation, haha...”
At this moment, he even sincerely thanked God for allowing the spiritual energy calamity to continue. He was even hoping for the day when other middle-tiered countries in West Continent could not withstand it anymore too. They would have to resort to begging the Golden Eagle Federation for aid and thus, they would willingly sign unfair contracts that ceded their land to the federation.
”With the current situation continuing, only three years is needed... No, in two years, Golden Eagle Federation would be able to unite the powers of the entire West Continent and become the sole overlord of the entire world?”
The Commanding Officer was very pleased and was thinking if he should host a banquet that night to celebrate with some champagne and steak.
”Warning!”
Suddenly, a piercing alarm rang, ”Our radar has picked up a giant lifeform ahead!”
”A whale? Just chase it away or give it two charges of the naval mine...”
The Commanding Officer instructed as per usual. However, he suddenly realised, ”Wait... if it is a normal whale, why is there a warning?”
”Rumble!”
