Chapter 183: The second Spiritual Qi tide descends, evolution! Evolution!

~10 min read 1,976 words

Tokisaki Kurumi believed that as long as she killed the First Spirit, she could erase the history of the birth of spirits, thereby making all spirits (including herself) never exist.

Her purpose was to return the world to a peaceful state without spirits and spacequakes, even if this meant that she herself would disappear; although the behavior was extreme, it was essentially to save more people, even if the price was her own demise.

Taking revenge on the First Spirit was just one part of all her purposes. Her most fundamental purpose was complete self-destruction and world correction. She was willing to pay any price, including her own existence, in exchange for a world without spirit disasters.

This was also why so many people liked Tokisaki Kurumi, including Su Mengyao herself, who admired her extremely.

Although wanting to kill the First Spirit, it was very difficult to do so with Tokisaki Kurumi's power.

The reason why she would say "If you still want to kill her after reading the story of your original world" was also to let Tokisaki Kurumi further determine the difference between her world and the real world.

As a spirit, she could no longer trigger spacequakes. Although she mastered special power, there were many people in the real world who mastered special power, and Da Xia could also allow the existence of a spirit, as long as she loved peace.

So, strictly speaking, the real world was a world that didn't need to worry about spirit disasters. Even if there were really spirits causing disasters, it didn't need Tokisaki Kurumi to solve it alone, but everyone together to deal with it.

This naturally included the First Spirit.

If Tokisaki Kurumi wanted to return to her world in the future, they also found a way to cross the barriers between the real world and the Date A Live world, and they would also fulfill the agreement and do everything possible to send Tokisaki Kurumi back to her world.

Tokisaki Kurumi fell into a short silence after hearing Su Mengyao's words.

Her lips still hung with that elegant smile, but the light in her eyes froze slightly. Su Mengyao almost pointed out all her obsessions, killing the First Spirit, returning to the original world, and even including her inner hatred and struggle.

So, were they really so understanding of her because they had read the stories about her created by the "Creator"?

Was her world really just a story created by them?

Then what did her existence count as?

Were all the pain, betrayal, and despair she experienced just plots that existed to shape the character "Tokisaki Kurumi"?

Her fingertips rested lightly on her lips, her smile remained, but her eyes were slightly deep.

Now that she had descended into this real world, did it mean that she had changed from "illusory" to "real"?

Then, did she still need to persist in the hatred of that illusory world for herself in this real world?

Her thoughts flowed in an instant, but soon returned to calm.

"I agree."

"In my current situation, it seems I don't have the ability to refuse."

Tokisaki Kurumi said with a smile.

Su Mengyao bloomed with a sincere smile upon hearing this, and at the moment Tokisaki Kurumi agreed, the rocks binding Tokisaki Kurumi instantly disintegrated, turning into fine dust and drifting in the air.

"Thank you for your trust, Miss Tokisaki Kurumi."

Su Mengyao took a step forward and extended her right hand.

Tokisaki Kurumi moved her wrist that had regained freedom, her wine-red right eye narrowed slightly. She elegantly tidied her skirt, then extended her right hand and held Su Mengyao's hand lightly.

"Then, please take care of me in the future."

At the same time, with the passage of time, at a point in time that no one had expected.

The second Spiritual Qi tide descended.

At the edge of the solar system, the void rippled silently like silk, and pale silver cracks unfolded quietly. Pure Spiritual Qi flowed out, like mist, like moonlight, gently sweeping over the cold celestial bodies, and finally gathered toward that blue planet.

And on the Blue Star, under the deep sea.

Darkness was torn silently.

Dimensional cracks unfolding like the solar system bloomed, and Spiritual Qi, purer and more vast than the outside world, surged out, dyeing in the seawater, turning into a hazy mist of light.

So, the deep sea boiled.

The giant beasts that had already transformed in the first Spiritual Qi tide woke up.

A three-hundred-meter-long giant squid tore the rock wall, the suckers on its tentacles twisted and deformed, growing sharp barbs; the sleeping deep-sea giant python opened its cold vertical pupils, and fluorescent blue light oozed from the gaps in its scales; schools of mutated fish shuttled like arrows, their bones making unbearable crisp sounds under the scouring of Spiritual Qi, but they refused to stop...

They swam madly toward the source of Spiritual Qi, greedily devouring every wisp of pure energy.

A mutated sea python arrived first. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed a thick Spiritual mist, but in an instant.

"Screech!"

Accompanied by a tearing sound, its scales cracked, its flesh squirmed, and its body twisted and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye; but it had no fear, instead devouring even more crazily, even if its internal organs were burst by Spiritual Qi, even if its bones were crushed by energy.

In the distance, the tentacles of a giant squid were snapping off inch by inch, but new flesh grew rapidly from the broken wounds, thicker and more ferocious. It charged forward regardless of everything, its tentacles coiling around the obstacles in its path and crushing them alive.

The entire sea area turned into a Shura field.

Blood mist filled the air, wreckage floated, but no mutated sea beast retreated;

They rushed forward one after another, like moths to a flame, mutating, expanding, and bursting under the baptism of Spiritual Qi. The entire sea area was dyed a faint blood color, but they were still tireless, fearless, driven only by the most primitive instinct—

Evolution! Evolution! Evolution!

Even if they were smashed to pieces, they had to evolve toward a higher level.

Where the sea and sky met, a fluorescent blue light curtain was slowly advancing.

That was the Spiritual Qi tide spreading from the deep sea, mixed with starlight pouring down from outside the sky, dyeing a hazy mist of light on the coastline; it was like gauze and silk, gently sweeping over the beach, soaking through the rock layers, and flowing toward the land.

The bark of the thousand-year-old pine cracked and fell off, revealing the crystal-like wood underneath. The pine needles on the branches grew wildly, each one shining with metallic cold light; vines drilled out from the ground like giant pythons, entangling the wild beasts that couldn't escape in time, turning them into nutrients.

The entire forest was mutating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the crisp sounds of trees growing taller followed one after another.

The silver wolf on the mountain peak roared to the sky, its hair standing up one by one, plated with a layer of moonlight-like halo in the Spiritual Qi; every breath made its body expand by one point, until its limbs couldn't bear the weight and knelt on the ground, but in the next second, the newborn bones pierced the skin and flesh, supporting it to stand up again.

The giant crocodile in the swamp rolled, its scales peeled off and regenerated, the bone spurs protruding from its back pierced the epidermis, flashing cold light in the soft light. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the thick Spiritual mist in the air, even if its internal organs were burst by the expansion.

The bird flock circled under the clouds. Their feathers fell off continuously and regenerated under the scouring of Spiritual Qi. Some individuals who couldn't bear it suddenly stiffened and fell like stones; but more completed the transformation in pain, their wingspan widened, and their beaks sharpened into scimitars.

The mutated rat swarm reproduced crazily in the Spiritual Qi and died crazily. Their bones twisted and deformed, some grew extra limbs, some exploded entirely, turning into blood mist to nourish their peers.

The surviving individuals had their fangs grow wildly, their eyes jumping with bloodthirsty scarlet, but they were still tireless, devouring every wisp of Spiritual Qi.

The entire continent was staging the same scene.

In the gentle Spiritual Qi, the wild beasts were experiencing the most cruel transformation. They bit their peers and gnawed on grass and trees, just to compete for the area where Spiritual Qi was most concentrated.

No fear, no retreat, only the most primitive instinct of evolution drove them to move forward continuously, even if they would explode and die in the next moment.

【Emergency Notice: Abnormal Spiritual Qi Fluctuation in the Whole Region】

【Concentration Threshold Breakthrough: Benchmark Value 15374% 17923% Continuing to climb】

【Detected 452 Stage Three spiritual energy reactions... The number continues to increase】

Harsh alarm sounds rang out in Tianshu Bureaus everywhere.

In the command hall of the Imperial Capital Tianshu General Bureau, red lights flashed crazily, and scarlet warning text scrolled continuously on the main screen.

"How is this possible?"

"How could the second Spiritual Qi tide come so quickly?"

In front of the monitoring station, the monitor said unbelievably. You must know that after the first Spiritual Qi tide, according to the research model they established, the second tide should come at least a year later. How could it come so quickly?

Zhong Lao didn't predict the arrival of the second Spiritual Qi tide either.

In the center of the hall, Wang Shouguo had walked quickly to the main console. He glanced at the dense red dots flashing on the national map, his face gloomy as water.

"Immediately notify the provincial Tianshu Bureau branches."

"Execute according to the emergency plan of the first tide, and all field personnel will be dispatched immediately."

His voice was calm and determined.

Although he didn't expect the second Spiritual Qi tide to come so quickly, fortunately, due to the first Spiritual Qi tide, they already had experience and had been preparing for the second Spiritual Qi tide.

Even if it came suddenly, it wouldn't make them panic.

And after the first Spiritual Qi tide, they had carried out special cleaning of the sewers in various cities, and the number of mutated creatures such as mutated rats had been greatly reduced, so it would definitely not be as many as in the first Spiritual Qi tide.

Stray cats and dogs as well as mutated pets raised at home had also been solved in the first Spiritual Qi tide, and would basically not happen again.

So what needed the most attention was the beast tide that might be formed.

Under the first Spiritual Qi tide, the number of mutated creatures in the mutated beast tide was mostly Stage One and Stage Two, and Stage Three was extremely rare, and even only appeared after the Qingshan County.

But this time, just within their monitoring range, more than 400 Stage Three energy fluctuations appeared. Even if half of them were humans, there were still half of them that were mutated creatures.

However, there were so many spiritual powers in the Imperial Capital range that reached the edge of Stage Two but had not yet stepped into Stage Three, and existed to break through under the second Spiritual Qi tide?

"But Bureau Chief, the number of Stage Three detected this time far exceeds expectations, and the conventional plan is afraid..."

"Then double the manpower!"

Wang Shouguo slammed the console.

"Mobilize all forces that can be mobilized, monitor 24 hours without interruption, and handle any abnormalities immediately!"

"Yes!"
