Capítulo 1623: Chapter 1624: Proposal Approved
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan with a strange expression and after a while, asked
“What is an Energy Pillar? It doesn’t sound like a normal method, and with both major energy circulations having issues, where can you transform energy from?”
After all, in this world, the natural energy flow of reality relies on the two major energy circulations. Other things, like special crystals, only have a small amount of concentrated energy. It’s not that they can’t be used, but you might not find that many crystallized energies.
Thinking of something, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan in surprise and said,
“You don’t mean… transforming the power from Xilnais’ side, right?!”
“What else? Although technically there’s a barrier, it’s possible to open a small hole temporarily. The energy there is fully integrated, so temporarily supplementing the energy circulation here is feasible. However, this approach has many problems. Since it’s two types of energy and needs transformation here, if not controlled well, a disturbance in the energy circulation could be quite problematic.”
Feng Yuan stroked his chin and said, currently the energy circulation intensity in the Divine Land Region is still low, so even if a disturbance occurs, it won’t have a significant impact. But after receiving supplementation? Feng Yuan himself wasn’t sure what might happen.
Turning to Agunas, Feng Yuan smiled and said,
“Anyway, this is an emergency measure. If it’s actually implemented, many Divine Beasts would need to help unless you want to trigger large-scale natural disasters. Moreover, even so, I wouldn’t agree. Using an Energy Pillar solely in Great Xia is too conspicuous.”
He didn’t want to trigger another war, but using an Energy Pillar only in Great Xia, while the energy circulation would spread those energies throughout the Divine Land Region, the region with the most restored energy would inevitably be Great Xia.
In this case, Feng Yuan did not believe that other countries wouldn’t view Great Xia with hostility. Even previously neutral countries might act, leading to a major conflict. Besides, Feng Yuan couldn’t completely refrain from intervening. Thinking this, Agunas swished its tail, giving up on being lazy and instead decided to communicate with the Divine Beasts of the Divine Land Region.
If setting up Energy Pillars was indeed necessary, it wouldn’t involve just one place. As Feng Yuan said, Energy Pillars must be guarded by Divine Beasts. Otherwise, if something goes wrong during energy transformation, directly polluting Earth Energy Circulation would be a huge problem.
Handing this troublesome task to Agunas, Feng Yuan whistled and went to watch TV. Veronia glanced at Agunas and then at Feng Yuan, who was watching TV, and asked somewhat doubtfully,
“What are you planning this time?”
It didn’t believe Feng Yuan proposed this just to restore the Divine Land Region’s environment. Although these matters don’t greatly concern him and could be entirely handled by the Divine Beasts, definitely contact from the Xilnais side was needed, and Feng Yuan was exactly the type who wouldn’t seek out trouble for himself.
However, Veronia didn’t ask further, knowing that when Feng Yuan wanted to keep a secret, no matter how much you asked, you wouldn’t get the truth.
After the Divine Beasts learned of this matter, opinions differed. Those close to humans understood the current predicament of the Divine Land Region. Though this attempt carried some risk, they unanimously thought it could be considered. After all, under current circumstances, if left alone for six months, it could severely affect human society’s order.
Divine Beasts less involved with humans had no interest in the matter. From their perspective, waiting for the energy circulation to restore itself wasn’t bad. Human interference could potentially pollute it; while they didn’t want interference, they accepted it since it wouldn’t cause immense trouble for them either way.
Following discussions, Agunas found Feng Yuan between classes the next day and shared the news.
“So, you’ve agreed then? But it’s best to inform other countries about this. Hmm… Xingchan can’t send their national Divine Beasts, since there’s still no result on that incident. If they cause trouble, it would be a problem for us as well.”
Remembering something, Feng Yuan cautioned, even though the current investigation has narrowed down suspects, there’s still no guarantee it wasn’t some clever trick by the other side to avoid their scrutiny. Therefore, using other Divine Beasts might be more fitting, especially…
“Oh, if they agree, it’s best to send an unobtrusive Divine Beast to Quine’s side.”
“You’re trying to investigate? I’ll find a trustworthy Divine Beast to assist.”
Hearing this from Feng Yuan, Agunas quickly understood the additional intent but didn’t oppose it. After all, Quine was the prime suspect.
After finalizing the action plan, Agunas closed its eyes. Its main body needed to coordinate with other Divine Beasts to prepare other countries as a precaution, preventing them from getting strange ideas.
Learning of the major operation involving the Divine Land Region’s Divine Beasts, the Alliance decided to send personnel to assist, with no opposition from the countries. After all, if any friction emerged, the Alliance could better mediate.
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan in surprise and said,
“So, does this mean the resource scarcity will soon be resolved?”
“Let’s say it’ll be somewhat alleviated. This recent anomaly caused issues in the growth of many Spiritual Medicines, and quite a few even withered. Those things can’t grow excessively fast, and even so, it’s impossible for complete recovery. It depends on luck. With good luck, the energy strength might recover by over half; with bad luck, maybe only about half.”
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan wasn’t very optimistic. The event had been ongoing so long, and the impacts were already evident. Eliminating those effects wasn’t easy, only ensuring the situation wouldn’t rapidly worsen.
“Why didn’t you mention this earlier? Was the danger too great?”
Dou Yanlan surmised, asking Feng Yuan, who nodded and looked out the window, saying,
“It’s not merely needing Divine Beasts’ oversight until transformation ends. With bad luck, strange energies might mix in, needing removal afterward. With so many transformation pillars, how low do you think the chance of no issues is?”
“Issues are inevitable?”
“Hard to say, the chance is significant, which is why Divine Beasts are needed for oversight. If such energies arise, forcibly extracting them is necessary, else once mixed in, it’ll be a huge issue. Alien Energy inside energy circulation induces continuous conflicts. You know what occurs with energy circulation turbulence.”
Smiling slightly, Feng Yuan commented while gently rubbing Xiao Ji’s head. Qi Chen, looking worried, asked,
“Is it truly unavoidable?”
“Probability-wise, there’s no way around it. But the later such unexpected events occur, the better, as long as they remain vigilant, Alien Energy can be extracted timely. However, the circulation’s strength will influence disturbance intensity. If recovery exceeds half, we absolutely cannot trigger significant tremors. Thus, I’m uncertain how much can be transformed.”
Sighing, Feng Yuan commented, unable to guarantee timing for such unexpected occurrences. Regardless, amid current circumstances for the Divine Land Region, this was a positive move. Hadn’t the severe consequence of the exhausted circulation been evident, he wouldn’t have proposed it.
Receiving news from Agunas, countries quickly began preparations. While dangerous, the associated risks weren’t as severe as current troubles. Between two evils, they’d rather gamble on the Energy Pillars.
Once the news spread to other regions, the rising prices of Spiritual Medicine and Materials halted instantly. Although they didn’t drop, they couldn’t rise any further. Many people believed if the Divine Land Region’s action succeeded, those prices would fall substantially.
Merchants eyeing the Divine Land Region’s resource crisis, poised to gain massively, almost faced major losses with the sudden change. Luckily, considering the gradual pace of resource recovery, the prices hadn’t dropped too fast, giving them time to cut their losses.
Despite Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan being aware, not knowing the confidentiality level, they didn’t inform others, leaving Teacher Lü and others concerned about student resources.
No matter how much help they provided in secret, it couldn’t be excessive. As they’d already been trying hard to grant academic points, increasing resource demands made progress seem slower.
