Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but shudder. She simply couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if it were really like that.

"Wanwan, what's wrong?" Yan Ziyan, who was standing next to her, noticed Jiang Wanwan's unusual behavior and asked with concern.

Jiang Wanwan composed herself, told Yan Ziyan her conjecture, and decided to perform a soul search on "Wang Chen." Although this act might be somewhat cruel, the situation was urgent, and this "Wang Chen" was definitely not a kind person, so she couldn't worry about that now.

Jiang Wanwan took a deep breath, prepared herself, and then greeted Yan Ziyan. Next, she concentrated her mind and forcefully used her divine sense to enter "Wang Chen's" sea of ​​consciousness.

Upon entering Wang Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, Jiang Wanwan discovered that it was already showing signs of collapse. At its center, a black, illusory figure was coiled. When the figure sensed someone intruding, it immediately opened its mouth, attempting to bite Jiang Wanwan's consciousness.

However, Jiang Wanwan was prepared. She swiftly reached out and delivered a powerful blow to the dark figure, slamming it to the ground. The black phantom nearly dissipated from the impact.

"It was you! You ruined my plan!" A furious male voice came from the shadows, filled with resentment and bitterness.

"So you're the one who tried to refine Earth?"

Jiang Wanwan stared sharply at the dark figure, her tone resolute.

"So what if it's me? The cultivation world is all about the survival of the fittest. You mortals have treasure troves but no matching strength, so don't blame others for coveting them."

The phantom let out a cold laugh, his words filled with arrogance and confidence.

He seemed to make no attempt to hide his actions, and even appeared somewhat smug.

He believed that in this world of cultivation, the strong reigned supreme, and the weak were either eliminated or became prey for the strong. This view was deeply ingrained in him, making him feel no remorse for his actions.

"So, you released that blue mist too! You used us humans as your testing ground, so that we could both help you purify the divine stone and help you eliminate all intelligent life on Earth, so that you could take over Earth for yourself, right!"

Jiang Wanwan said with a gloomy expression, staring intently at the illusory figure in front of her, her eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

The illusory figure sneered, "I didn't expect you to be able to guess all of this. But even if you know, so what? When my true form descends, it will be the day that you ants face your doom."

Jiang Wanwan was furious. She glared at the phantom with wide eyes, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

After the illusory figure finished speaking eloquently, it turned around and tried to slip away.

However, how could Jiang Wanwan let him off so easily? In a flash, she appeared in front of the phantom and gave him another big nose roll.

This time, the phantom was even weaker, its speech becoming increasingly fragmented. "You...wait...I will...return!"

Jiang Wanwan waved her hand without hesitation, and a powerful energy wave swept over, causing the illusory figure to vanish without a trace.

At the same time, Wang Chen's body withered away at a visible rate, eventually turning into a lifeless skeleton.

"Wanwan, how are you?"

Just as Jiang Wanwan withdrew her divine sense, she was met with Yan Ziyan's worried gaze.

She sighed and said, "Wang Chen is being controlled by someone from a higher plane. I don't know what that person did on Blue Star, but the primordial spirit power of that person's clone has been completely exhausted!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ziyan frowned and said with a serious expression, "It seems we must thoroughly investigate 'Wang Chen's' travel records when we get back, lest it cause some great disaster!"

Just then, the two suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet begin to shake violently, as if the entire space was trembling.

They exchanged a glance, knowing that something had happened again.

Sure enough, not long after, there was another earthquake.

At that moment, Xiao Guang streaked across the sky like a shooting star, quickly bringing Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan back to the ground.

However, in just a moment, the entire mine collapsed completely, and even the outermost entrance was completely blocked.

"Xiao Guang, how did it go? Did it go smoothly?" Jiang Wanwan asked impatiently, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xiao Guang grinned and said, "Of course! There's nothing I can't do!"

Jiang Wanwan looked Xiao Guang up and down, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

She felt that Xiao Guang in front of her seemed a little different from before, as if he had more expressions.

Xiao Guang clapped his hands excitedly, then said triumphantly, "Don't worry, Xiao Wan, we've got the Origin of Gold. After this refinement, the entire country will experience a large-scale spiritual energy revival. Everyone should be prepared then!"

As he spoke, he let out a big burp, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

Hearing this, Jiang Wanwan felt immediately reassured. She knew this meant they were one step closer to their goal.

Xiao Guang seemed to be in a good mood and was not in a hurry to return to Jiang Wanwan's body. Instead, he curiously looked around.

Jiang Wanwan recalled her conversation with that person. Although she didn't know exactly how strong the other person was now, she understood that as the spiritual energy recovery process on Blue Star accelerated, the strength of the entire planet would inevitably increase significantly.

"Senior brother, now that we find the source of wood, the global revival of spiritual energy will be just around the corner!"

Jiang Wanwan, carrying Xiao Guang, flew side by side with Yan Ziyan on their swords.

Before Yan Ziyan could speak after hearing Jiang Wanwan's words, Xiao Guang directly interrupted Jiang Wanwan's reverie:

"Xiao Wan, even if the source of wood is found, the global revival of spiritual energy will not be so easy!"

Given the current state of Earth, pollution is severe, especially the nuclear contamination in the Sakura Kingdom and the blue fog released from higher planes.

This prevents the formation of an effective ecological cycle for spiritual energy. Consequently, areas with healthy ecosystems may experience a particularly rapid recovery of spiritual energy, while the recovery of spiritual energy in some cities or countries may become slow, or even result in the emergence of spiritually depleted areas!

Yan Ziyan nodded, indicating that he agreed with Xiao Guang's opinion.

He continued, "Xiao Guang is right. The revival of spiritual energy also requires time and conditions. We cannot rely solely on the source of wood; we must also find ways to improve the environment and ecosystem of Blue Star."

Jiang Wanwan frowned. She knew that Yan Ziyan and Xiao Guang were right, but they didn't have much time left.

Ten years. Back then, the Divine Dragon said that the Heavenly Dao could only hold on for another ten years at most. If Earth doesn't grow rapidly, the entire world will face annihilation.

"Xiao Guang, is there any other way?" Jiang Wanwan asked, unwilling to give up.

As if sensing Jiang Wanwan's worries, Xiao Guang replied with a grin, "Wanwan, don't worry! I have good news for you. That person from the higher plane is seriously injured and too busy to help us, so we still have plenty of time!"
