The moment Haivier disappeared, countless survivors on the top-tier spiritual veins prostrated themselves on the ground in devotion, their eyes filled with madness and piety, as well as doubt and fear.
Not everyone is a fool or a devout believer. The survivors had endured countless hardships to survive, and they quickly realized that something was wrong, but they had nowhere to run.
The gale outside the vortex of spiritual energy instantly swept across the entire area, and countless people were swept into the vortex.
Amidst the howling wind, the terrified screams and shouts of the crowd were drowned out by the wind.
In the blink of an eye, the densely packed survivors in the area were instantly wiped out.
"Boom boom boom..."
As the crimson color faded, the spiritual energy vortex grew even denser, but this was far from enough. Several thunderclaps rang out, and a series of explosions resounded across the western land—the sound of spiritual veins shattering.
Instantly, an extremely pure and rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in and merged into the vortex of spiritual energy.
As the vortex's radiance reached its peak with the final influx of spiritual energy, it contracted, revealing ten pearl-sized spiritual orbs. The orbs' brilliance flashed by, one of them a dazzling crimson hue.
As the spirit pearl rapidly descended towards the top-tier spiritual vein in the west, the entire spiritual vein suddenly surged forth with bursts of spiritual energy!
In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was released, and as the earth's veins were repaired, the concentration of spiritual energy in the west more than doubled.
Sophie and the others, who were trapped in a mid-level spiritual vein by Haiweier, were stunned. Just three minutes ago, the barrier surrounding this area shattered, and then they felt the ground shake. When the shaking stopped, they felt the change in the concentration of spiritual energy.
So many changes occurred in just a few minutes that the group of superpowered individuals were completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
"Sophie?" Paul hesitated, watching the superhumans leave in a hurry. He had a feeling that something bad had just happened.
Sophie also had a bad feeling, but she didn't know what it was. She looked at Paul and shook her head, indicating that she should stay put.
The remaining ability users who hadn't left also silently returned to their original positions, preparing to assess the situation further. With the surge in spiritual energy, they would have already had a good cultivation environment even without leaving, and now there was nothing more to say. The concentration of spiritual energy had doubled, yet the number of people had decreased by more than half, making it much more abundant than before.
The moment He Qing and He Ming saw the spirit pearls fall into the earth's veins, their eyes turned cold. They had indeed sacrificed millions of lives to preserve more spirit veins.
Even if they knew, there was nothing they could do to change the situation. Although this was the West, in Qing and Ming's eyes, there wasn't much distinction between different races; the term "human race" already encompassed everyone.
But the West is ultimately the territory of the angels, and the area they are responsible for is not in the West. Now that things are settled, there's nothing they can change.
The two brothers left with heavy hearts, and the other two human cultivators also left with expressions of pity.
Ling Xiao and Xiao Tong snorted as they watched them leave.
"Humans are indeed ruthless!" the child grumbled, clearly very angry about the blood sacrifice.
Even though it was a spirit, it found the human race terrifyingly cold-hearted, not as clean as a radish!
"Alright, we should head back now." Lingxiao didn't say much. It knew perfectly well that Angel Hevil and Radham's plan was simply to preserve more spiritual veins.
Although spiritual veins will be reborn after the earth veins are repaired, the regeneration of spiritual veins takes time and cannot be achieved overnight.
The damage to the western spiritual veins is the most severe, and this is the only one that remains. If they do not do this, the strength of the west will inevitably fall to the bottom for a long time to come.
Leaving aside the internal strife among humans and the threat from the Elven race, those mutated creatures alone are enough to pose a threat of annihilation to the West.
Of course, understanding doesn't mean Ling Xiao agrees, but thinking about the situation of the Spirit Clan, it still felt a little relieved.
During this time, it had seen quite a few spirit beasts. Although their numbers were not large, the trend was good. As long as nothing major happened, the growth of the spirit race would not be worse than that of humans.
It was only after confirming this that Ling Xiao was able to go to the top-tier spiritual vein to prepare for its revival without any reservations.
——————
Seven days later, when thunder rumbled from a mountain range in the Great Xia Dynasty, most creatures were no longer so alarmed.
In the capital city, which is closest to the sound of thunder, the crowd looked excitedly to the north, their eyes filled with anticipation.
The capital city received information from He Qing and He Ming three days ago, learning about the restoration of the Great Xia's ley lines. Therefore, all the checkpoints in the capital city have been closed for the past few days to prevent anyone from accidentally entering the ley line area and causing an accident, and also to protect everyone's safety.
"The earth veins have been repaired, so does that mean those two Taoist priests won't be able to come back?"
Yao Yao lay on Afu's head, her little hands tugging at Afu's ears, her little face showing some reluctance and sadness.
Although the paper cranes sent by He Qing and He Ming did not mention the sacrifice, people in the capital had already guessed it, and A Mo and other supernatural beings naturally heard a lot of news, even little Yao Yao knew about it.
Neither Amo nor Axu answered. They didn't know what to say. They both knew the answer, but they were unwilling to face it.
For Amo and the other ability users who had received instruction from He Qing and Ming, these two fellow disciples were not only powerful seniors, but also their mentors and guides.
"They will always exist."
Amo's voice was very soft, but Yao Yao and A Xu both heard it and nodded silently in unison.
