Holy Emperor Palace.
More than twenty True Immortal experts were cultivating in seclusion. They were subordinates that Gu Changsheng had found for Houtu, hailing from various life-forbidden zones of the past.
With the resurgence of the Great Dao's origin, they sensed the changes in the world and awakened from their closed-door cultivation.
"I feel the universe is expanding at a terrifying rate!" That Supreme exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock. He fully activated his celestial eye, trying to see what was happening at the end of the universe. When his gaze pierced through the endless void and finally landed at the universe's end, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.
There, the chaos was no longer as calm as still water but was boiling violently as if being cooked. Within that boundless chaos, a mysterious and powerful force seemed to be surging, making the entire chaos exceptionally active. And the mortal realm where they were, was also expanding at an alarming rate with the propulsion of this force.
This scene filled his heart with unprecedented fear and awe.
Just then, the other Supremes also noticed something was wrong and turned their gazes to the end of the universe. They too felt that terrifying power, and their faces showed solemn expressions.
They knew that this situation was definitely not normal. The expansion speed of the universe was so fast, very different from the resurgence of the Great Dao's origin as they knew it. This scene was likely to trigger a series of catastrophic consequences.
"The heaven and earth essence energy is at least three times denser than before, and the concentration is still rising rapidly."
Another person stretched out a large hand, and the heaven and earth essence energy already showed signs of misting. The others' faces were uncertain. Such a strong change in the heaven and earth essence energy would definitely be a disaster for mortals with weak bodies.
At the same time, Lan Emperor, the Holy Emperor's personal brewer with only one head, looked at the sky, shaking his head.
"The Great Dao's origin was already about to revive, but now a brand new Great Dao's origin has been injected. Such a strong medicine, is it abandoning mortal things?" In Lan Emperor's view, all beings without cultivation were mortal things.
Obviously, he also knew what impact this great change in the world would have, but he was only the Holy Emperor's brewer, responsible for brewing wine. Saving all living beings was the Holy Emperor's job. If he intervened, it would be overstepping his bounds.
Shortly after the Great Dao's origin scattered in every corner of the mortal realm, all cultivators in the mortal realm could feel the changes in the surrounding heaven and earth essence energy, and even a strange feeling. This feeling was as if the Dao principles within their bodies were constantly being repaired and perfected.
Countless cultivators who had reached bottlenecks in their cultivation had epiphanies at this moment, breaking through their cultivation.
"Miracle!"
For cultivators, this was a miracle.
But for mortals without cultivation, this was a disaster.
On Sky Desolate Star, in a small mortal kingdom in the Eastern Region, in a village called Yangjia Village, a seven-year-old girl was taking the meal her mother made to the fields to deliver to her working father. But as soon as she arrived at the edge of the field, just as she was about to call out to her father, she suddenly felt a dizzy spell, and her whole body fell to the field below.
"Yaya..."
The father had excellent eyesight and noticed it instantly, but it was absolutely impossible for him to run over and catch the little girl, because the distance was at least five or six zhang. He was just an ordinary mortal, how could he cross such a long distance in an instant.
This father was desperate. His daughter's body had been ill since she was a child, and she was now falling from the road on the field. The height was at least three zhang, and now it was the autumn harvest season, and the fields were hard. If she fell solid, how could she survive?
"Yaya!"
He could only shout anxiously. He knew he was too late to catch his daughter, but even so, his body tried its best to rush over.
At this moment, he was very desperate, constantly praying to the gods promoted by the immortal masters.
Just as the little girl was about to hit the ground headfirst, a cyan figure appeared and caught the little girl.
"Yaya, Yaya!"
At this time, the little girl's father also ran to the front, his face full of panic, his tone full of anxiety.
"Her name is Yaya?" Gu Changsheng asked.
Hearing Gu Changsheng's words, the little girl's father also came back to his senses. He had just seen with his own eyes that this young man suddenly appeared and hugged his daughter. He must be a god who heard his prayers, so he came to save Yaya.
"Answering the god's words, she is my daughter, named Yang Yaya." The little girl's father said tremblingly.
Gu Changsheng nodded and smiled, "Girl, Yaya, it's very similar."
After Gu Changsheng said something only he understood, he returned Yaya to her father.
The man took Yaya, his expression nervous, he asked: "God, is Yaya alright?"
Gu Changsheng said: "I have already sorted out her meridians for her, and she will be fine in the future."
"Thank you, God, for curing my little girl!"
The man knelt in front of Gu Changsheng holding his daughter, sincerely thanking him.
Gu Changsheng shook his head gently, lifted him up, and said, "Go back and take good care of her."
"Thank you, God!"
The man did not hesitate, he didn't even pack up the tools in the field and the rice, and rushed home with Yaya in his arms, it could be seen that he was also a father who loved his daughter very much.
The man did not go home immediately, but took her to the village sage. Usually, the sage would see a doctor for the villagers. Yaya was weak and sick, and she could live to this day, the sage has made great contributions, so he is very devout to the gods promoted by the immortal master.
After what happened just now, his belief in the gods became even more firm, because at the critical moment, it was the gods he believed in who saved his daughter.
Gu Changsheng looked at his leaving back and said, "The frail mortals are the first to be affected, this can't go on."
The little girl named Yaya just now had been weak for a long time. If someone hadn't often nourished her with spiritual power, she would have died before the age of three, but the person who saved her had a low cultivation level and could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
The heaven and earth essence energy is not as gentle as spiritual power. Cultivators need to refine the heaven and earth essence energy into spiritual energy, and in this process, the heaven and earth essence energy must run in the body.
And for mortals like Yaya who are weak, their meridians are naturally blocked. If they suddenly come into contact with high concentrations of heaven and earth essence energy, the heaven and earth essence energy will have nowhere to go, and naturally it will break through the body.
"..."
Gu Changsheng was silent for a while, and then cursed, "Reverse disciple, look at the good things you've done, I'll see if I beat you up when I'm free."
After speaking, Gu Changsheng waved his hand, and an extremely mysterious force entered this world.
...
