Several days passed peacefully until the ground suddenly shook.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Have the enemies come again?"
There was a moment of panic among the group, but they quickly calmed down after remembering that Zero was still there, and continued with their work.
Unbeknownst to them, they had come to regard Zero as their guardian angel.
Zero, however, was still meditating and did not notice anything unusual about the building at the moment.
Ziyou, who had been watching Zero intently, seemed to have sensed something and slowly extended her tentacles, seemingly hesitant about whether to wake Zero.
As more and more dust fell from above and around, Zi You closed her eyes, and her purple tentacles slapped Zero on the back with a "smack".
"Ouch."
Zero was awakened by the pain. He looked at Zi You, who had woken him up, and was about to say something when he noticed that the ground was shaking violently.
"What happened?"
Zero hurriedly left the room.
He ran into Ye Hao, who had just arrived to find him.
"Is it another enemy attack?"
Ling asked, his words carrying a hint of seriousness.
Ye Hao shook his head and said:
"No, although I don't know the exact situation, I can say with certainty that the vibration came from inside, that is, from the building itself."
Now it's zero doubts' turn.
Vibration inside the house?
Is it going to collapse again?
While Zero was still pondering, the earth spirit in the space murmured:
"It really might collapse."
? ? ?
Zero opened his eyes wide and hurriedly went into the space to inquire about the Earth Spirit's situation.
Earth Spirit explained:
"Your current abilities are not enough. Although you can already use earth elements to construct what you want, the time it takes for these earth elements to solidify is very short."
"Is there a time limit to the condensed architecture?"
"Of course. After all, it's not something that already exists in this world; it's entirely formed through external forces. With external intervention, the duration depends entirely on the user's strength..."
Tu Ling explained patiently.
In other words... his current strength can only maintain the earth element for this long. Once the earth element's condensation time is up, this place will still turn into ruins...
Thinking of this, Zero said to the Earth Spirit with some complaint:
"If that's the case, why didn't you tell me there was a time limit back then, Grandpa Tu Ling..."
Tu Ling gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I forgot."
He really forgot.
Since the incident happened so suddenly, everyone was worried about where they would find a place to stay. He then thought of a way to use earth elements to build houses.
After that, Zero built the house directly. He wanted to say something, but seeing everyone's joyful expressions, he couldn't bear to tell them that this was only temporary.
Later, I forgot about it.
He only spoke out today, as the house's lease term is about to expire.
Zero thinks so too.
Having just endured the pain of their homes being destroyed and having nowhere to go, they finally saw a newly built home, having climbed out of the abyss, only to be told that the new home was also about to collapse. It was like a bolt from the blue, knocking them back down to earth. It was indeed cruel...
With that thought in mind, he stopped worrying about it. The most important thing now was how to solve the problem of the collapsed house.
Remembering what Tu Ling said—that "the duration depends entirely on the user's strength"—Zero looked at Tu Ling with shining eyes and asked:
"Grandpa Earth Spirit, is there any way for me to increase my strength in a short time?"
Zero's idea is actually very simple.
That is to maximize one's strength within a limited time.
Even if it's only a small improvement, the house will last a little longer.
According to this calculation, as long as the time it takes for him to improve his strength is enough to keep up with the time it takes for the house to collapse, the building can exist indefinitely!
