662 The advent of the Great Calamity

As Zhao Biren’s words settled in, the expressions of those around began changing due to the realization of the meaning of his report dawning on them.

“You mean to say…”, Madam Liang looked at Yuanfen with widening eyes.

“Yes, it is likely that she has been absorbing all of the Spiritual Qi coming through that and all the other links connected to this world to fully awaken, and thus only scraps of the total were reaching the damaged parts of this world. Now that she stopped taking away that Spiritual Qi, all of it is rapidly repairing this Fractured World”, Wu Long confirmed her guess.

“O-other links as well?”, Zhao Biren gasped at those words, as that would imply that all the World Stones across the Shattered World that Hua Ziyan witnessed from the Blue Moon.

“How is that possible? Even if she was absorbing the Spiritual Qi coming from those links there was never a Fractured World that was restored so fast…”, Ye Ling asked with confusion, as 10 000 years was already a relatively short time for a Fractured World to restore itself according to any records known of them in the past.

If Yuanfen was absorbing most of the Spiritual Qi that came through the links and at least the one in the Three Continents was almost ready to reconnect in such a short amount of time after she stopped, it would mean that without her this Fractured World would have been restored at the very least a thousand times, if not more, faster.

It would also mean that Yuanfen devoured such enormous amounts of Spiritual Qi to awaken that it was hard to comprehend for even higher beings in the Seven Boundless Worlds.

“Hmm, you are forgetting something, Ling’er. This is not an ordinary Fractured World, but a Main World that got fractured off. The first one that I heard of. The amount of Spiritual Qi flowing into it from its numerous links would be far higher than any precedent”

Wu Long shook his head as he also was pondering on the speed of this world being repaired rising in the last two years, only now getting vague answers to his questions.

“But even if she is a World Spirit, does it really take so much Spiritual Qi to awaken her?”, Ye Ling turned her gaze toward Yuanfen again.

“I do have a theory regarding that. After all, don’t forget, when a Spirit is born, the body they were born of becomes their astral projection. A stone from which a Stone Spirit is born or a Tree from which a Tree Spirit is born, would be absorbed by them when they awaken and no longer hold physical form”, Wu Long spoke while tracing his chin as those who understood the implications of his words gasped in shock.

“So she is…”, Madam Liang spoke turning to Yuanfen who tilted her head at the discussion. She leisurely sat beside Wu Long, already having let go of his forearm as if she received a reassurance, and was already playing with her robes again.

“Likely the cause of the Great Calamity”, Wu Long nodded, confirming the guess as a silence fell onto the terrace, and then he turned to stop the World Spirit from accidentally untying the sash when she was examining it, a smile appearing on his face.

“Though originally, this whole World would disappear without a trace, but it seems that she either decided or was forced by some unknown circumstances, to shed that physical form, leaving it relatively intact when she first gained a semblance of consciousness, whatever her reasons for doing that may be”, he then added, not quite sure what all of this meant.

“Does that mean that she is an incomplete World Spirit then?”, Cao Mei asked, drawing a logical conclusion from his words, as she did not complete the steps Spirits take to materialize.

“Haha, I am curious too, to be honest. The only other World Spirit that I know of, and that is known throughout the Seven Boundless Worlds, the Spirit God Sovereign, might know the answer”, Wu Long chuckled, not completely sure as all he had to go on were the fact this was undeniably a World Spirit, and that this World was still present in the physical plane.

What did strike him suspicious, was that she seemingly was lacking in communication, whereas the Spirit God Sovereign was not much different from other sentient beings in behavior, unlike normal Spirit Race members. Wu Long just did not know whether that was something innate or something that came with time. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

“In any other case, we can be almost sure that when this World gave birth to its Spirit consciousness, she went into hibernation instead of absorbing the World into herself as an Astral Form. All that Spiritual Qi she absorbed likely went to make up for that”, Nie Xiwang drew conclusions from Wu Long’s earlier words and explanations, and Wu Long nodded.

“But returning to our earlier discussion…”, Wu Long then added, as he looked at Zhao Biren, “…judging from what you said, the amount of Spiritual Qi coming through the individual links is also far higher than normal. We have observed only one, but we have no basis to believe other links behave differently from this one after all”

“You mean to say that the flow of Spiritual Qi coming into this world might be unusually high in general?”, Ye Ling raised her eyebrow and Wu Long nodded with a pondering look.

“We cannot be certain, it is all just guesses based on the limited information we have. Even if that flow was higher than usual, we don’t even know how long that was the case”, Wu Long replied not in a hurry to jump to conclusions.

“But if, just if, the flow of Spiritual Qi was unusually high, as you think, what would be the cause?”, Luo Mingyu asked as she sensed that there was a deeper meaning behind his concern with the flow of Spiritual Qi.

“It would likely mean that a Generational Wave came around”, Wu Long replied with a subtle smile.
