GA: Chapter 88: The Transformation of [Authority of Nature] — The Gradually Vanishing Form
It was clear that this spiritual energy tide far exceeded the initial spiritual storm.
The spiritual energy spreading in all directions even passed through spatial rifts, flowing into deeper unknown realms.
Unknown World
"I thought that in this era of declining spiritual energy, cultivators would never again reach the peak of existence. I never expected… I would witness a spiritual revival."
"Truly, heaven has eyes."
"In such a golden era, I will surely rise and climb to the highest peak of cultivation!"
In an unknown world, an elderly man in a green robe spoke loudly, tears filling his eyes.
Then, his appearance rapidly reversed—becoming younger and younger until he transformed into a youthful form.
Bai Xuan, however, was unaware of what was happening in other worlds.
In fact, if not for the reminder from his Authority of Nature, he would not have expected the second spiritual tide to arrive so quickly.
And the scale of this spiritual energy far exceeded his imagination.
At this moment, wherever the Earth's spiritual energy spread, flowers and plants bloomed in full force. Countless herbs and fruits began to evolve under the impact of spiritual energy, transforming into true heavenly treasures. Even underground minerals underwent unknown changes.
Humans and mutated beasts were also undergoing a new round of evolution under this baptism of spiritual energy.
In the endless deep sea, terrifying spiritual fluctuations surged in all directions.
"ROAR!"
The entire ocean trembled. Countless sea creatures swam wildly and roared as they received the baptism of spiritual energy.
Gradually, their bodies underwent even more astonishing transformations than before.
Their bodies expanded continuously, their scales becoming harder and faintly glowing with silver light. But before they could fully recover from the transformation, a terrifying suction force engulfed them all.
"ROAR!!!"
A deafening roar echoed through the ocean.
A white giant serpent, hundreds of meters long, swam through the sea. Wherever it passed, vast amounts of spiritual energy poured into its body, faint thunder-like sounds echoing within.
Most astonishingly, two bulging growths were forming on its head, constantly surging.
Its cold eyes were also beginning to show a faint golden glow.
That was no longer the eyes of a serpent.
It resembled—a dragon.
At the same time, within an unknown mountain range.
A massive crimson tiger lay coiled within the mountains, undergoing the baptism of spiritual energy.
"ROAR!"
With a thunderous roar, endless spiritual energy poured into its body. A crimson lotus-shaped mark appeared on its forehead.
Its majestic eyes revealed clear confusion and hesitation.
Then it closed its eyes again and continued absorbing the vast spiritual energy in the space.
Across the entire Earth, countless beings were undergoing transformation. But this time, the amount of spiritual energy was far beyond the previous tide—and far less gentle.
Some beings could endure it, while others could not.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Deep within the forest, countless creatures exploded outright, unable to withstand the impact of spiritual energy. Their blood dyed the ground red.
Those who endured ascended like a carp leaping through the dragon gate.
Those who failed were destroyed instantly.
More and more mutations continued to unfold.
Sometimes, transcendence is not as beautiful as imagined. The acquisition of power always comes at an unbearable cost.
Within various Spiritual Energy Bureau branches across China:
"Although we anticipated the arrival of a spiritual tide… we didn't expect it to come so fast—or so violently."
"Even I can barely withstand it," Ning Guang said as he felt the surging spiritual energy in the air, unable to help but sigh.
"What's more terrifying isn't the spiritual energy… but our instinctive craving for it."
"That emptiness from deep within the soul will drive us to absorb more and more spiritual energy, even when we've already reached our limits."
"The only outcomes are evolution or death."
"Break through it, and you ascend to the heavens in one step. Fail, and it's a dead end."
"I just hope people's fear of danger can suppress their soul's desire… otherwise, the casualties will be enormous."
The worst part was that such casualties were neither controllable nor avoidable. All they could rely on was human fear.
Or, if someone's talent was too low, the spiritual energy wouldn't enter their body in large amounts—another way of avoiding death.
Before Ning Guang could continue his thoughts, a huge glowing point appeared on his screen.
His expression changed instantly.
"Spiritual energy outbreak—an awakened ability user has gone out of control!"
"Notify nearby Spiritual Energy Bureau teams for support!"
"You continue monitoring. I'll head there immediately!"
An energy rampage in an awakened individual represented extreme unpredictability. This was unlike the previous gentle awakening phase, where most people had very weak abilities.
This time was different.
If a true evolution occurred, their destructive power would be no less than that of Fire Feather or Qin Tian. The damage caused by such a rampage had to be contained immediately to minimize casualties.
And this was not only happening here—similar outbreaks were occurring in cities across China and even across the entire world.
A new era had arrived.
Bai Xuan sat cross-legged on his bed, his entire body already enveloped in seven-colored light.
The second spiritual tide was a terrifying transformation and elevation for Earth. Whether human, animal, or plant, anything that survived it would undergo earth-shattering changes. As a result, Bai Xuan's strength was increasing at a speed beyond comprehension.
His physique, spirit, and the abilities derived from Authority of Nature were all evolving.
Sky, earth, mountains, forests, rivers, oceans… all natural scenes flowed and shifted in his perception until the entire Earth appeared within his mind.
His consciousness transformed into a pair of massive golden eyes, overlooking all living beings.
"Ding."
"Second spiritual tide detected. [Authority of Nature] undergoing transformation…"
"Natural coverage range increasing…"
"Natural conceptual definitions expanding…"
A cold mechanical voice echoed within Bai Xuan's consciousness—seemingly from the chat group, yet not entirely the same.
But he had no spare attention to analyze it.
At this moment, he was fully focused on absorbing the tide's power.
As time passed, Bai Xuan's presence grew increasingly faint. Even if one looked directly at him, their eyes would naturally begin to ignore him—as if he had merged with nature itself.
Within his body, his fleshly form gradually became transparent and pure, like smooth crystal—gentle and flawless—yet carrying a faint sense of voidness.
As if he were… untouchable.
