Chapter 2438

World Beast blood is quite valuable; Feng Feng Shi did not hoard it all, but gave a portion to Han Zichen and the others.

Everyone were old acquaintances; although the others' friendship with her was not as deep as Xiao Feng's, they could still be considered friends.

The energy contained in the World Beast's fresh blood is a very useful quintessence for Stellar- and Planetary-level cultivators; refining a lump yields noticeable results, and one can see their cultivation increase.

Xiao Feng took the World Beast's inner world, so he did not divide this blood; he let Han Zichen and the other six each take a small portion of the World Beast's precious blood, while Feng Feng Shi took a larger share for himself.

He still had two fragments of the Law Source Divine Mountain stored in his inner space; their value is immense, over a hundred times more precious than the entire blood of ten World Beasts, so there was naturally no need to quarrel with his good friends.

"We just seized the quintessence; let's first find a quiet place to cultivate for a while, then continue seeking other opportunities." Xiao Feng proposed.

"Hmm." Everyone naturally had no objections.

Coincidentally, Feng Feng Shi knew a rather secluded spot, so he led them there via instantaneous movement.

Not long after, the group arrived near a fissure in the ground.

This place lies at the edge of the Primordial World; the outer land somehow fractured, flew outward, and shattered into Xing Kong material fragments.

In the future, as the universe grows, those fragments may, under the work of creation, form star systems and evolve life.

But for now, the cliff adjacent to Xing Kong has become a decent habitat.

On the cliff face there are some narrow passages resembling walkways; from afar they appear only a small patch, but in fact their width reaches tens of thousands of kilometers.

Xiao Feng and the others came here to settle; the surroundings are still the same as elsewhere in the Primordial World, devoid of vegetation and living beings,

Everything appears extremely barren.

This place is at the world's edge; spiritual energy is somewhat weaker than elsewhere, and the sense of safety at the land's edge is also poorer, so few living beings dwell here.

The group temporarily cultivated here, refining World Beast blood to strengthen their life-force genes.

Xiao Feng, while refining the Law Source primal fluid stored in his inner space, also studied the mysteries of the World Beast's space.

The layered world of the World Beast's microcosm essentially exists to let the World Beast grow faster and survive longer.

He wasn't sure if other World Beasts were the same, but he generally felt that this layered world was still not mature.

For example, there is a problem with the balance of energy.

The energy source for the lower-layer time is the supplement given after the World Beast devours external things.

If one day the World Beast finds nothing to eat, the lower world's energy will gradually deplete, insufficient for living beings to use.

Moreover, some living beings who ascend to the upper realm take energy with them, leaving the lower layer.

Over time, this also causes the lower world's energy to become deficient, worsening year by year.

Even the ruler of the topmost Divine God Realm, upon death, does not return energy to the world; instead, it is devoured by the World Beast.

To the World Beast, this is a feedback.

But for the World Beast's world, this is a permanent loss.

A world that needs nourishment and suffers permanent energy loss obviously cannot sustain itself. Once the World Beast dies or suffers heavy damage, this immature microcosm will inevitably collapse and cannot hold out long.

And now it has entered Xiao Feng's body.

Xiao Feng pondered…… should he give it a bit of renovation?

Concerning the hundreds of millions of beings in a microcosm, he dared not act recklessly, carrying out

simulation drills.

Xiao Feng first replicated this microcosm one-to-one within his sea of consciousness.

Hundreds of millions of beings in the simulated universe strive to cultivate and grow, vying for the chance to ascend; some succeed, taking energy with them, while others fail and return to the world.

Over time, the lower realm's energy diminishes, the upper realm's increases, and the beings of the upper realm grow ever stronger.

But after many years, a single immensely powerful being will appear in the Spirit Immortal Realm, devouring vast amounts of energy and causing the overall environment to deteriorate.

Furthermore, he will ascend again, taking energy with them, plunging the lower realm into a prolonged period of weakness.

The World Beast's energy nourishes the lower world; the lower world nourishes the middle world; the middle world nourishes the upper world; and the upper world ultimately gives back to the World Beast……

This cycle indeed qualifies as complete.

But now Xiao Feng wants to extract the 'World Beast' from this cycle.

He does not wish to forever nourish a world, nor does he want the world's beings to ultimately ascend and become nourishment for his surname Xiao.

If someone ascends to the Divine God Realm, continues cultivating, and touches the threshold of a Stellar-level ruler, he will release that being, letting them become a member of the great cosmos rather than refining and absorbing them.

Of course, when leaving, one can only take away insight and realm; energy must be left behind to ensure the World Beast world's energy balance is not disrupted.

After several rounds of deduction, he discovered that energy could be returned from top to bottom by means of 'bloodline'.

In the World Beast's world, all beings are linked by bloodline as their root; ancestors can bestow blessings upon descendants.

If an upper-realm powerhouse dies in battle, half of his life energy remains in the upper realm, while the other half passes through the world's barrier back to the lower realm, entering

the descendants' bloodline, lying dormant there, becoming the driving force for growth.

If this descendant proves worthy, they will soon catch up to their ancestors.

If not, they will die of old age, and the energy will be returned to the world.

Of course, in that case the returned energy is not 100%; the lower realm still suffers a slight loss.

So there is a second method of return: the ruler's return!

The ruler of the Divine God Realm, as the strongest being in the whole world, upon ascension or death in battle, will have all of his life energy returned to his birthplace.

If born in the Mortal Realm, they return to the Mortal Realm, letting the mortal world undergo a great change of 'spiritual power revival'; if born in the Spirit Immortal Realm, they return to that realm, letting transcendent beings obtain great opportunities, striving for a new ruler to appear.

Thus, in this cycle the number of powerhouses in the three realms should remain relatively stable; perhaps for a period the Mortal Realm will be exceptionally strong, or the Spirit Immortal Realm will enjoy a golden age.

But in the long view, the alternation of golden ages and dark ages, the flow of energy follows a pattern and can form a self-contained cycle.

The only ones who likely suffer are the rulers.

Having cultivated a lifetime, finally grasping the mysteries of the cosmos, after the third ascension outward they must temporarily lose their cultivation, needing to re-cultivate once, costing considerable time.

But being able to enter the great cosmos and contact the latter half of the path of life evolution, they actually do not lose out, since memory and insight are retained, and re-cultivation is only a matter of a few hundred years.

Of course, there is also a special case: …… the ruler does not cultivate, does not fight, enjoys life, and begins to let themselves go.

This situation does not participate in the energy cycle, directly jumping out of the Three Realms' energy system.

, becoming an independent entity.

If many controllers act like this, slacking off, then the result is that the lower two realms enter an end-times stage of energy depletion, unable to cultivate. Unless Xiao Feng actively provides support, otherwise the situation will last a long time, until the controllers' lifespans reach their limit, they die and return nourishment to heaven and earth, only then will it improve.

But, because controllers have a lifespan limit, even planetary-level controllers, if no accident occurs, also only have a lifespan of 200,000 to 300,000 years.

So this problem is not considered a big problem.

The End of Dharma era lasts a bit longer, then a new era of spiritual qi revival arrives; for the people of the lower worlds, it should be quite interesting.
