The seal was broken, and the spiritual energy had returned!

This was what the people present had been waiting for. They had rehearsed for a very long time for this event, hoping that they would be prepared when the spiritual energy returned and that its impact on mortals would be reduced.

Bu Fang was holding the divine sense ribbon in one hand, the other end of which linked to the Vermilion Bird. His attention now was not on the woman, though, but on the huge spinning black hole in the distance.

It was a shocking sight to behold. The water was spinning, turning into a huge black hole. Rumbling filled the air as water flowed into the hole as if it was being devoured.

Patriarch Penglai, Count Dracula, Poseidon, and the others were extremely excited. As they watched, their bodies shivered. They all knew what this meant, and they were aware of the significant impact the revival of spiritual energy had on the entire world.

A pillar of spiritual energy that almost took physical form erupted from the black hole, thrusting straight through the clouds and poked a hole in the sky. A thunderous rumbling sound exploded as the calm sky began to ripple like the surface of a lake.

“This is…” Patriarch Penglai looked up. All that was left in his eyes was the shocking scene. It was like the real work of the Gods!

At this moment, the sky turned colorful, and the whole Earth seemed to shake. There were other pillars of light shooting up into the sky at three other places on Earth. Those were the three other poles of Earth. Bu Fang was at the south, and the other three were at the north, east, and west.

Like a giant beast who had been lying dormant for a long time, the entire Earth seemed to wake up at this moment. The colorful sky was very beautiful. Suddenly, it began to rain. Colorful rainwater fell from the sky and turned into a curtain that veiled the whole world, bringing everyone a stunning visual impact.

“A spiritual energy rain! A real spiritual energy rain!” Patriarch Penglai burst out laughing. He spread his arms and let the rain fall on his palms. “I can feel it now… I can feel that the Immortals are returning!” He had never looked so excited. Taking off his hat, he bathed himself in the rain. When the water touched his skin, it was absorbed by his pores and then turned into wisps of rising steam.

Dense spiritual energy diffused across the air. All the people spread their arms, and they felt an overwhelming sense of physical and mental pleasure. Some people had not figured out what was going on, but they had a strong desire to shower themselves in the rain.

The Earth’s crust was moving, causing a violent tremor. At this moment, the ordinary people showered in the rain gave a cry of surprise. They found that their bodies began to change. Some had pointy horns grown out on their heads, some had eagle’s wings spread out on their backs, and some people were surrounded by swirling water.

For a moment, the people who had showered in the rain all possessed peculiar abilities! Their innate abilities had awakened!

“All mortals are the descendants of Gods, and they inherited the Gods’ innate abilities and powers… However, during the long years of reproduction, these abilities and powers had gone into a deep sleep in the depths of their bloodlines and would require stimulation to wake up… And this spiritual energy rain is the key to wake them up!”

There was a deep look in Poseidon’s eyes, and he laughed. He no longer wanted to fight Bu Fang for the immortal robe. The spiritual energy had recovered, and a great era was about to come. He needed to go and welcome those returning Gods!

A boom rang out as the sea under Poseidon’s feet exploded, turning into a long bridge of water. Standing on it, the water wriggled and pushed him toward the west at great speed. In just the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Patriarch Penglai gave Bu Fang a deep look. After that, he stepped on the clouds and sped away as well, heading toward Hua. Dracula and the Great Wizard also left hurriedly with an impatient look on their faces.

The spiritual energy rain made them understand that the real great era was coming. Those Gods, as well as Heaven Immortals and Immortal Kings who had left Earth, would probably begin to return soon!

The humans who had acquired special abilities were overjoyed. As they were close to the point where spiritual energy gushed out, they were the immediate beneficiaries. They all had a look of pure excitement that could not be concealed!

Yu Ge was surprised. He felt that his cultivation had improved significantly, breaking through the shackle of an Earth Qi cultivator and rushing into the level of a Heaven Qi cultivator! Was this the so-called fated encounter?

Chief Luo, Xiao Ai, the monk, and the other superhumans were astonished as well because their powers began to grow by leaps and bounds. They thought it was a gift from God!

The recovery of spiritual energy made the crowd’s amazement at Susanoo being killed disappear. Now, these people were immersed in the joy of having their abilities awakened.

Bu Fang stepped on the water. He glanced at them, and his expression remained unchanged. Was acquiring special abilities something to celebrate? Not really. The greater the power, the greater the danger and the harder it was to return to normal life. These people were too… young and naive.

He gave the huge hole a deep look. He could feel a terrible aura lingering in that black hole, and a sense of pressure coming from another universe. He could not believe that the sleeping place of the Artifact Spirit hid so many secrets.

The Artifact Spirits sealed wormhole portals, which connected to different universes. Now, one of the portals had opened. Bu Fang wondered if this was a good thing. In any case, he felt responsible to do something. He took a deep breath and fixed his eyes at the hole.

Suddenly, a violent rumbling sound echoed out. It woke the people from their joy, and they all jerked their heads around to look at the hole. Then, they saw… A terrifying creature was crawling out of it! The next moment, a bestial roar thundered, shaking everyone’s soul!

“What… What is that?!”

“It looks horrible… So huge!”
