CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 487: THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY

After a moment, the purple light descended, and everyone saw a round droplet appear at the pointed top of the Star Chart.

Its surface was incredibly smooth, a deep bluish-purple, like a solidified starry sky.

"Is this the Star Source?"

Rod carefully picked it up.

The droplet was icy cold and didn’t stick at all, just like a glass bead.

Suddenly, Luo Weiya furrowed his brows tightly, staring intently at it.

"Why do I feel like it’s... no, no, that’s not right!"

Luo Weiya suddenly started to stammer, his eyes wide open like lanteens.

"Jelaba, come quickly, check it out, what is it?"

"I am watching."

Jelaba’s eyes glowed with an extraordinary spiritual light, his sharp gaze seeming to penetrate the small piece of solidified starry sky.

The air froze for a moment, as everyone realized the droplet’s extraordinary nature.

After a long pause, Jelaba exhaled and said solemnly, "Yes, your suspicion is correct."

The four Special Level Combatants showed excitement, Luo Weiya trembled uncontrollably.

All the others looked at each other, unaware of what he meant.

Rod couldn’t help but ask, "What is this?"

Luo Weiya suddenly burst into laughter, hugged Rod fiercely and kissed him, luckily Rod reacted quickly and moved his mouth away, otherwise he would have to live a nightmare for the rest of his life.

"Hahahaha!"

Luo Weiya didn’t care at all, laughing wildly, "I knew it, my theory is correct, we’re rebounding, humanity can no longer fall, the destiny is turning towards us, all these hardships are the darkness before dawn, humanity will revive!"

Rod was confused, chasing the question, "So what exactly is this?"

"The Original Element."

Jelaba gave the answer.

"The legendary strongest spiritual medicine, capable of breaking all bottlenecks, enhancing talents, strengthening the soul, is the most powerful and effective among all spiritual energy resources. We found a portion in ancient relics once, providing us three First Level Combat Power and eleven Second Level Combat Power, and that was still from misuse."

Luo Weiya excitedly said, "Its strongest point is that it can break through bottlenecks and enhance the characteristic level."

"You know how many people are stuck at the bottleneck of High Rank, how many can’t become true First Level Combat Power due to characteristic level issues, how many due to spiritual energy stalling cannot progress further?"

Jelaba said, "The core of Royal City’s lack of combat power is a resource issue. Once we obtained the ancient manual for cultivating the Fire Holder, their consumption of resources was generally ten times ours."

"Due to resource scarcity, we had to cultivate a limited number of geniuses, focusing on those requiring fewer resources, while those needing more long-term resources were stuck at Seventh or Sixth Level Combatants."

Olivia said in a low voice, "You should know that the true shortage in Royal City is High Rank combat power, which is why most stay at middle to low ranks."

"We don’t have enough resources, only the strongest geniuses and those with few resource needs get focused training."

Luo Weiya laughed wildly, "If we can continually obtain the Original Element, our High Rank combat power will greatly increase."

"When the Holy Fire Seed returns to Royal City, we will have stronger Holy Fire, and the passing rate of the Fire Trial will increase significantly, allowing more Fire Holders to further boost this number."

"With enough High Rank combat power, we can continue to expand outward, gaining more resources."

"And more resources will yield more High Rank combat power."

"Continuing this cycle, is the day of humanity’s revival far away?"

In the laughter, Rod couldn’t help but smile, even if he didn’t fully agree with Luo Weiya’s excessively optimistic view, the beautiful scene he painted moved everyone including him.

Maybe he’s right.

Rod thought.

We are on the path to revival.

What can stop the great black-clad handsome not, right?

Rod chuckled.

In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge also confirmed the importance of this item to humans.

After giving the Star Source, golden words appeared on Star Square indicating Rod would receive 8 Divine points.

Rod was stunned.

A single drop of Star Source grants 8 Divine points!

If I had a barrel, wouldn’t I ascend?

But to his disappointment, the Star Chart seemed to only have this one drop.

No matter how he contacted or operated, no second drop flowed out.

The Book of Knowledge consumed a certain amount of resources and obtained this answer.

"The Star Chart is a mighty Divine Artifact. It extracts the essence of stars through mystical connection, requiring a period before acquiring the second one."

Rod felt incredibly disappointed: "How long is this period?"

"Minimum three days, maximum twenty-one days."

"That’s too long! Is there any way to shorten it?"

"The divine artifact’s master can inject Spirituality every eight clock hours to enhance the Star Chart’s efficiency in obtaining star essence."

Rod’s heart sank suddenly.

Injecting once every eight clock hours, doesn’t that mean I have to stay here?

How can I return to Royal City then?

But after learning this information, Luo Weiya waved his hand and immediately made a decision.
