Chapter 2091: The Change of Elemental Force

Zhong Shengguang shook his head: "It's not that simple; the artifact spirit has long been gone."

"?!" He Lingchuan felt that communicating with Zhong Shengguang had never been so difficult.

What does "gone" mean? Did it leave, or did it disappear?

But Zhong Shengguang clearly didn't want to say more, cutting to the chase: "President Xu and his team have studied this for a long time, believing that the change in elemental force should still be related to the Great Square Vase. The faster the Great Square Vase evolves itself, or the deeper its embedding into the world's laws, the more changes there are in elemental force."

He Lingchuan nodded.

"We also sent people to serve under the twelve generals, including your Ximo Legion, only participating in drills, rotating every ten days. The result was that these few people all gave feedback, saying that, in their feeling, the armies under different generals indeed have some differences in elemental force."

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, no wonder the Ximo troops reported a few days ago that the Panlong Army had stationed seven or eight people here, only to be transferred away after less than half a month—turns out they were doing this mysterious business.

He deliberately lowered his voice and asked the leader: "What is my legion's ranking?"

Zhong Shengguang laughed: "No rankings were made; this isn't a military competition. Besides, the amount of elemental force cannot be quantified at all, pure subjective feeling varies from person to person, and several people have submitted contradictory conclusions. This test merely verified that elemental force has changed among the different armies in Panlongcheng."

He Lingchuan let out a long "oh," disbelieving.

He felt Zhong Shengguang must have secretly made a ranking but wasn't saying it, not wanting to break unity.

Zhong Shengguang restrained his smile: "The twelve generals hold equal ranks; during non-war periods, I allocate the same amount of elemental force to each general, yet the results show disparities once it reaches the armies."

He Lingchuan immediately said: "Elemental force is also related to morale. High morale means high elemental force."

This is a conclusion long verified by experience.

"Not only that. Sigh, testing elemental force is especially difficult." Because no one can say for sure how many factors affect elemental force!

Over a thousand years ago, people had already discovered the existence of elemental force, but it remains an unsolved mystery to this day.

He Lingchuan felt Zhong Shengguang's experiment was not bad; he decided to replicate it in the real Dragon God Army.

He also wanted to see what changes in elemental force occur in his own army.

"Also, Ling Mountain has sent a message." Zhong Shengguang paced two steps: "In the west, two small countries are at war, Yan Du and Bai Yi. Yan Du has already pushed Bai Yi to a desperate end, but in the final battle, Bai Yi country invited a divine descent. What's even more unexpected is that, although the Yan Du general who led the troops was killed in one strike by the descending heavenly demon, the demon's skin sack also suffered heavy injuries from the Yan Du soldiers' attack, and it returned to heaven after less than fifty breaths."

He Lingchuan wondered: "Which heavenly demon did they invite, so fragile?"

These two are both small countries; the ones they invited down are mostly minor wild gods.

"It is the heavenly demon Sha Lan."

He Lingchuan startled: "This is a heavenly demon under Bai Shou Tian, and its rank is not low."

Of course, it has nothing to do with being fragile.

"The most likely possibility is that Bai Yi prepared a poor skin sack for it, unable to bear Sha Lan's power." Zhong Shengguang pondered, "I also lean toward this explanation; moreover, coincidentally, two sect disciples participated in this battle. According to their description to Ling Mountain, the Yan Du general's counterattack before death, combined with the army's full-force assault on Sha Lan's skin sack, caused it severe injury."

He Lingchuan felt his heart stir upon hearing this.

"And Sha Lan also appeared very surprised, as if it couldn't understand what was happening."

He Lingchuan thought for a moment: "How strong was the killed Yan Du general?"

"About the same as your Hu Min and others, a rare strongman in Yan Du's country."

Hu Min was originally a member of the Broken Blade Squad, always by He Lingchuan's side, and had long been promoted. His combat ability and quality are acknowledged by He Lingchuan.

He Lingchuan pondered: "That's truly not weak, but to say it could wound a descended Sha Lan is no small difficulty. On that battlefield, were there any other accidents?"

"The divine descent itself is the biggest accident." Zhong Shengguang lowered his voice, "This is merely an isolated case; perhaps Sha Lan itself has problems. I've heard the divine realm is in constant turmoil, with heavenly demons often fighting. But I think, if, if elemental force could also suppress the power of heavenly demons, that would be great news!"

Saying this, he lowered his voice, but He Lingchuan could still hear his excitement.

Yes, elemental force used to only work on divine techniques and spells, but had no effect on so-called "divine power." If elemental force could make up for this shortcoming, humanity would hold in its hands a much stronger weapon capable of resisting heavenly demons!

In the medieval period, immortal sects facing the rising human states suffered many losses, basically due to elemental force.

He Lingchuan's thoughts raced.

In the battle of the Wood King Cauldron against Qing Yang and others, when he used elemental force to protect his body, he blocked the divine technique attack of the descended body.

He personally judged that this was probably a new law evolved by the Great Square Vase after a great overhaul in the Overturned Sea.

The Great Square Vase's last leap-forward improvement was consuming the incarnation of Naraka Heaven, beginning to learn the evolution of "fate" power.

But what it consumed in the Overturned Sea was, however, the main soul of Miao Zhantian!

The Great Expansion Heaven Pearl held by Qian Huan has the characteristic of "illusory."

The divine nature mastered by Miao Zhantian has the characteristic of "real."

After experiencing that world-shaking great battle, He Lingchuan also understood that the relationship between these two is both mutual generation and mutual restriction, both opposition and mutual complement.

Even so, how many profound truths can the Great Square Vase still resolve?

Therefore, the Great Square Vase's modification of elemental force rules, allowing elemental force to resist divine power, mostly stems from the Overturned Sea great battle.

But could the Panlong world inside the vase also have undergone such a change?

That is to say, does the Great Square Vase's rule change also apply here?

Is it him who introduced this new variable into this world! He Lingchuan's heart leapt with joy.

Since the Panlong world has appeared such a key and delightful change, his possibility of overturning Panlongcheng's ultimate fate has further increased!

He asked softly: "Then does that mean the Red General wants to resist Lady Lady Lady Mitian, and can also start from this aspect?"

"Lady Lady Lady Mitian will soon notice the change in elemental force. I think it likely also knows we won't resign to fate, won't stand by while it fully descends upon the Red General." Zhong Shengguang also showed a worried expression, "What do you think it will do?"

"Descend in advance." He Lingchuan hesitated not, "If I were Lady Lady Lady Mitian, to avoid unnecessary risks, striking the Bell Commander off guard and descending early is the best method! Even if all divine power can only bring down seventy or eighty percent, it's better than drawing water with a bamboo basket—all for nothing."

He immediately asked: "May I ask boldly, how much power of Lady Lady Lady Mitian can the current Red General bear?"

"I also asked; she herself estimates it's over sixty percent." Zhong Shengguang couldn't help but sigh, "With the imperial ointment frequently erupting, her strength grows too fast, really also a trouble."
