Chapter 331: The Gradually Reviving Earth

Including humans, all flora and fauna on Earth have undergone significant changes over the past week.

Yet no country has been able to determine the cause of these changes, and all focus has been narrowed to air, water, and soil.

However, the analysis divisions of each nation's Supernatural Response Agency, after unanimous evaluation, attributed this global transformation among flora and fauna to "Spirit Qi Resurgence."

Or rather, it is the change triggered by the return of the gods, as the Primordial Realm reverts to its former state.

In other words.

The Primordial Realm of the End Dharma Era is passing away, soon to restore its ancient golden age.

The prosperity and glory of the former Primordial Realm will revive.

This is not baseless nonsense, because all nations' Supernatural Response Agencies have discovered that the changes across Earth extend beyond humans and flora and fauna— even the blue planet beneath their feet is undergoing transformation.

At this moment.

Tokyo, Japan, Supernatural Response Agency.

After submitting his report on global human and biological changes, Murakami Murakami pulled out another set of data.

Upon seeing the figures, Director Takahashi and the others were stunned.

"It's increased this much?"

"Good heavens, it's grown this much?!"

Many exclaimed in shock.

On every face, it was impossible to tell whether concern or excitement dominated.

"It's only been a week since the last measurement. At this rate, it won't be long before we see at least a 0.1% increase per month—and each increase is calculated on the previous baseline, so the speed will accelerate further."

This report's data concerned Earth's size growth rate.

More than a week ago, astronauts aboard the space station noticed that Earth was growing larger.

Yes, they had not hallucinated.

It is confirmed: Earth is expanding every moment, or rather, gradually restoring its ancient primordial conditions.

Even recently, scientific divisions across nations detected that Earth's atmospheric density has increased, with a new, currently undetectable gas added—its composition closely resembles the Spirit Qi cultivated by beings from the Phantom Demon Realm and the Nether Erosion Realm.

But it appears even stronger.

As for why they know Earth's Spirit Qi is stronger, it's simple: Li Gui, Mo Lingling, and the Phantom Lord all said so.

They found Earth's Spirit Qi to be extremely ancient, unlike the muddled, impure Qi of the Phantom Demon Realm and the Nether Erosion Realm—it is pure beyond measure, as if exhaled and inhaled directly by gods and demons themselves, rich with immense essence.

These are not the focus; the focus is that Earth is growing larger!

And Earth's growth rate is unimaginable.

A year ago, before the Supernatural appeared, any Earthling would have dismissed this as nonsense.

But now it is undeniably happening before the eyes of all.

And it does so in a way that tramples upon fundamental cosmic laws, as if tearing scientists' faces off and stomping on them.

Over the past week, countless scientists have gone mad, shouting on the streets: "Where is the law of conservation of mass?!" "Celestial gravity is fake, Newton is fake, hahaha, Newton's coffin lid has cracked open!" and more.

Generally, celestial body expansion means an increase in both mass and volume.

The usual mechanism is through meteorite impacts, with external matter captured by gravitational pull—a process that takes quarters to unfold.

But Earth's current transformation is visible to the naked eye.

Murakami Murakami held the Earth report and said gravely:

"According to the latest data, Earth's circumference has increased from 40,076 kilometers to 40,900 kilometers, and its mass has risen from 60 trillion trillion tons to 60.7 trillion trillion tons."

According to Professor Toyohiro, the astrophysicist:

"Such a massive celestial shift—even if occurring over a relatively slow period—should have already killed half of humanity and collapsed over ninety percent of global infrastructure."

But here we are, and the result is obvious.

Mother Earth, so to speak, has shown no signs of landslides, earthquakes, or ruptures.

Yet the origin of this immense additional mass remains a complete mystery."

His mind, like countless scientists', was a mess.

"Ensure Professor Toyohiro dedicates every effort to uncovering the principle behind Earth's expansion," Director Takahashi ordered.

Yet.

The moment he spoke, Murakami Murakami gave an awkward smile and scratched his head in reply:

"Director Takahashi, Professor Toyohiro won't be able to dedicate any effort."

"What happened?"

"After receiving the report yesterday, Professor Toyohiro checked himself into a psychiatric hospital. He's still screaming that Earth collided with the M78 Nebula's void, that Ultraman is extinct, that Earth drank all of Ultraman's blood, and that's why Earth grew larger."

The senior officials: "..."

Director Takahashi's lip twitched.

Since the Supernatural events began, as one Supernatural and divine incident followed another, the world has ceased to make sense—absurdities have driven wave after wave of scientists mad.

Some scientists, clinging to their principles, went insane shouting that all immortals and gods are aliens, and took their own lives.

Of course, most have simply accepted the new Supernatural module added to the world, forcing themselves to adapt and keep pace.

There's no choice.

This is the tide.

Kamikawa Mitsu long ago considered this, and he made no effort to interfere—he intended it this way.

The connection between other realms and Earth, the interlinking of countless worlds, is an irreversible trend; Earth's future is inevitably tied to the other realms. If humanity cannot adapt now, it will never adapt to the future.

Whether present-day Earth or ancient Earth, natural selection remains the unchanging law of nature—and it holds true now as ever.

Those who cannot keep up will be eliminated.

Not just these grand events he personally triggered, destined to be recorded in chronicles.

In fact, with the emergence of the Extraordinary, conflicts at the national level, rivalries between cities... a back-and-forth between conservatism and change.

Changes are occurring in every corner of society.

All seven billion people on Earth are living through this transformation of heaven and earth.

The appearance of the Otherworld is destined to bring unprecedented change to this era of Earth—greater than the combined transformations from the Bronze Age to the Steam Age, and from the Steam Age to the Electronic Information Age.

There are only two choices for this era's transformation.

Either fail to adapt and be eliminated.

Or go with the current, charge against the rapids, become a witness to the historical shift, witnessing how the world turns from sea to mulberry fields.

"Cough, so it's like that? Then continue—I'll pretend I never said that." Director Takahashi coughed, feigning calm as he picked up his water cup and drank.

"Hey!"

Yoshimura Yoshimi nodded and continued:

"The world is composed of the Eurasian Plate, the Pacific Plate, the American Plate, the African Plate, the Indian Ocean Plate, and the Antarctic Plate.

Six major continental plates, each a vast, rigid, mobile slab of rock, ranging from fifty to two hundred fifty kilometers in thickness, encompassing the crust and part of the mantle. Though Earth is continuously expanding, the change is not uniform.

Rather, the edges of the six plates are constantly extending, while the celestial core expands relentlessly.

For example, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where China lies at the junction of the Eurasian and Indian Ocean Plates, has gained tens of thousands of square kilometers of land—and continues increasing at an astonishing rate.

Moreover, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is mostly mountainous; since the changes began, major peaks have been expanding, and strange phenomena have begun to manifest—many small hills are now revealing the aura of great mountains."

At this, everyone's eyes filled with shock.

At this moment, Yoshimura Yoshimi spoke with a serious expression:

"Moreover, the orientation of these newly emerged mountain ranges is gradually connecting with the Goulou Mountains in southwestern China's western region."

Some of them did not understand.

So what? If they're connected, they're connected—what's so strange about that?
