Chapter 571: Forging a Plan (1/2)

The Formation of Life was the very core of a world. Even without a sovereign deity to control a world, it would be possible for the world to stay alive, as long as the formation was capable of keeping the energy in balance.

However, while it was not impossible for a world like Lan's to keep thriving, things were different for the Ghost Realm.

The Formation of Life was, as the name implied, a formation to keep the life and energy of a domain flourishing. However, the Ghost Realm had no life; there was no way to keep the plants growing, and the living beings breeding.

Here, the only way to enter was to be a dead soul, and the only way to leave was to vanish completely and turn into energy that others could consume.

The Formation of Life had thus gone wrong. Its purpose was to create the heaven and earth essence, but due to the lack of living beings to absorb this essence, the world was simply overburdened.

At the same time, these ghosts were unable to use the energy, and had to find their own way of survival, which had resulted in this dystopian world that no one could like.

The Black Turtle had truly wished to do their best for these lost souls, but the results had ended up becoming a prison that could not be escaped.

Lan and Xue Wei kept walking around the small dimension, and it did not take them long to arrive at the Formation of Life.

While the world was full of dark grey and gloomy colors, this formation was shining with golden light. The whole formation seemed magnificent, and one could easily see the attention and pain that the Black Turtle Clan had put in it to create a suitable formation to keep this world alive.

Unfortunately, they had not thought that a world without life would be unable to become normal.

”This looks like a treasure.”

Lan had still not described the true purpose of this formation, and Xue Wei had already put his eyes on the Formation of Life in front of him. Although there was no greed in his eyes, there was scrutiny and curiosity towards the unknown.

”It is the core of this world. This is a Formation of Life, and it is the sole reason that this world has managed to keep existing, even though it is so wrong and not suitable for life.”

Lan slowly began to explain the purpose of this formation and what it was capable of doing. He had no other intention than to educate Xue Wei, but he soon found that the younger man seemed to have some interesting thoughts.

”If I were to take this formation away, what would happen to this world? You already told me that the Formation of Life is the only thing that keeps the balance of the world, but the Ghost Realm has no balance. Would all the souls here vanish if I were to remove the formation?”

Lan furrowed his brows as he became deep in thought.
