801: The abrupt end of the spiritual tide, a deception

Time flows like water; three months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Yang Dian, who was inscribing the Deceiving the Heavens Formation into the sky screen, suddenly felt something and cast his gaze toward the Jiangzhe region, in the direction of West Lake.

Three seconds later, ripples imperceptible to ordinary people spread through space, and the Spiritual Qi tide swept across the vast land of Huaxia, following the spatial ripples.

The dimensional war with Tiannan Star had ended.

Or rather, after holding out for three months, Tiannan Star had finally become a subsidiary world of Huaxia.

As the vast Spiritual Qi brushed over his body, feeling the slight increase in the place where his Soul resided, only for that energy to be consumed by him in an instant, Yang Dian could not help but sigh with emotion.

"The Spiritual Qi tide, which was so helpful to me at the beginning, can no longer keep up with the pace of my strength improvement now~"

While sighing, Yang Dian reached out and tapped the air in front of him.

"Hum~"

Amidst a vibration like the beating of a bee's wings, a huge, transparent map covering the entire Huaxia, perfectly replicating the mountains, rivers, and ley lines of Huaxia, appeared high in the sky.

On the ground, in the Natural Park.

Liu Sanquan lay naked from the waist up in the ice and snow, enjoying the feedback from the Spiritual Qi tide.

Beside him were many others dressed the same way.

Although there was no scientific basis, these people always felt that stripping naked and becoming one with nature allowed them to gain the maximum benefit from the Spiritual Qi tide.

Moreover, Liu Sanquan did not think he was being that outrageous.

At least he was still wearing underpants.

Those who truly followed the 'Natural Principles' had already run into the deep mountains and forests, stripped naked, and buried themselves in the soil to physically become one with nature.

But he had not enjoyed it for long before he felt the effect of the Spiritual Qi tide beginning to wane.

After a few breaths, he could no longer feel the pleasure of his strength constantly rising and his foundation continuously increasing.

"Hmm? Has the Spiritual Qi tide ended?"

He looked blankly at the old man beside him, who had white hair and a youthful face, his spirit vibrant:

"Old Man Zhang, the duration of the previous few Spiritual Qi tides did not seem to be less than 12 hours, right?"

"How long was this one? It seems like it did not even last 30 seconds. Why is the Spiritual Qi tide gone?"

"I heard that the intensity of the Spiritual Qi tide is related to the world we are in contact with."

"Although Tiannan Star is a bit weak, it should not be this pathetic, right?"

Zhang Fushou said nothing, only raised his head and pointed to the sky.

Subconsciously looking up at the sky, the map that was a scale replica of the Huaxia land appeared in Liu Sanquan's eyes.

"territory map?"

Liu Sanquan's voice woke the others, and the people in the Natural Park who believed that stripping naked in a natural environment was more conducive to receiving the benefits of the Spiritual Qi tide all looked up at the sky.

"Is it really the territory map?"

"Did this map not vanish into the void after it was refined? I have not seen it for many years; why has it suddenly appeared?"

"The territory map was refined by the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, and the Commander must have control over it. Perhaps General Yang is controlling it?"

"Do you mean that General Yang controlled the territory map to intercept the energy of the Spiritual Qi tide?"

"Except for him, I do not think anyone else on Earth can control the territory map. Even if someone gained some authority over the territory map, it would be impossible to affect the Spiritual Qi tide on a national scale."

The person speaking raised their phone and shook it:

"Just saw the news online; phantom images of the territory map have appeared over every part of the country, and the Spiritual Qi tides ended at almost the same time."

"But why would General Yang intercept the energy of the Qi Revival?"

"How would I know? Maybe it has something to do with the sky screen."

"I think so too. If it were not for encountering some extremely dangerous situation, the organization would not spend a lot of money to set up a sky screen in the sky. Maybe the Commander wants to intercept energy to strengthen himself, so as to better resist the crisis?"

"I do not know, but if it is the Commander who wants to use the energy of the Spiritual Qi tide, I certainly have no objection..."

"Hey, you have no objection, as if we were that stingy."

"Let me tell you, not just this Spiritual Qi tide, but the next one, and the one after that—as long as the Commander needs it, I have no objection to him intercepting all the energy..."

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, Yang Dian, above the sky screen, also withdrew his right hand.

"Fortunately, I set up the Spirit Gathering Array; otherwise, it would not have been so easy to collect all this Innate Spiritual Qi."

That is right, the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Qi tide belongs to the Innate category.

Innate Spiritual Qi is not only extremely easy to absorb but can also be used as a treasure to improve cultivation Aptitude.

There was no opportunity before, but now that the Spiritual Qi tide had erupted right under his nose, he naturally would not allow a large amount of Innate Spiritual Qi to be polluted by the real world as time passed, turning into Acquired Spiritual Qi.

"If I convert this Innate Spiritual Qi into energy..."

After a quick calculation, Yang Dian's eyes lit up.

"Ten billion levels of energy!"

"It is worthy of being the gift produced after a world falls, sacrificing the entire potential of a planet."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Dian did not distribute the ten billion in energy.

Earth is currently facing many crises.

And to resist, or even directly solve the crisis, what is needed is not a large number of extraordinary Late Stage, or even Star-Patrolling Realm or Star Dome Realm Martial Artists appearing among ordinary people.

It depends on whether he, the strongest person on Earth, can hold on.

If he cannot hold on, it does not matter how many Star-Patrolling Realm or Star Dome Realm Martial Artists there are on Earth.

"I will use this Innate Spiritual Qi myself first."

After making up his mind, Yang Dian waved his hand to disperse the territory map projection and turned his attention back to the Deceiving the Heavens Formation.

The three months at the current stage are equivalent to 9 months on Earth before the Qi Revival.

After such a long time, no matter how difficult the Deceiving the Heavens Formation was to set up, it was now almost at the finishing stage.

"I just do not know if the effect of the Formation can meet expectations."

Muttering, a mechanical hummingbird flew to Yang Dian's side, opened its mouth, and spat out Lao Bai:

"How is your Deceiving the Heavens Formation coming along?"

Watching Lao Bai's bizarre way of appearing, Yang Dian could not help but twitch his mouth:

"Can you change your projection method? Walking out of a bird's mouth is very bizarre, you know?"

Lao Bai raised an eyebrow:

"As long as it works, it is fine. I did not expect you to care about such trivial matters."

As he spoke, he looked at the sky screen, which had no change in appearance from before:

"Is that Deceiving the Heavens Formation of yours really useful?"

"Whether it is quantum radar or spatial detectors, they can all scan the ground environment by bypassing the new crust and the steel sky screen."

"If it really does not work, we might as well retreat to the Emerald Dragon Star early, so as not to waste manpower and resources."

Yang Dian said nothing, only controlled his Mental Energy to carve the final stroke inside the sky screen.

A thunderclap in the clear blue sky.

As the thunder fell, wind blew the clouds, sand and stones flew, waves surged high, and the billows raged.

Lao Bai widened his eyes at the same time.

"How is this possible?"
