827: Explain why humans are getting smaller
Because of this strange situation, the prophecy diary in the System space brought the Burial System to the side to watch.
The Forest King glanced with half-opened eyes, then closed them, turned his body, and continued sleeping.
"Bling, bling, bling..."
In the flickering light, the cocooned light sphere made increasingly large movements during its continuous transformation.
During this process, Ye Tian could clearly sense that Xiao Zao's aura within the light cocoon was undergoing a transformation!
It seems the one hundred million points given before brought her immense benefits.
A few minutes passed in a flash.
Some debris began to fall from the light cocoon.
It was like peeling open layer after layer of flower petals.
One after another.
And at the final moment, the creature stirring inside shook violently!
The light cocoon was completely scattered at this moment, and amidst the scattered, floating light spots, a dazzling existence dyed the air pure white!
"I am, the Creator!"
After the loud and chuunibyou-like voice, the figure of this entity was truly revealed.
This was... a light sphere.
After breaking out of the cocoon, this guy was still a sphere!
It was just a bit bigger than before.
"Tch." The cover and all the pages of the prophecy diary wrote this highly sarcastic large character, then it boredly left with its follower, the Burial System.
"What do you mean by that broken book? How dare you mock this Venerable One!" Xiao Zao, who was originally waiting for everyone to show shocked expressions, saw the prophecy diary's mockery and was so angry that her sphere twisted.
Ye Tian sat to the side and saw some deeper changes in this sphere.
The other party's strength hadn't changed much; the change was in its life level!
Before, Xiao Zao was just a program code life born in the Universe, with a low upper limit, even only capable of being a tool-like sphere.
Along the way, generously supplied with points by Ye Tian, she gradually developed her own thoughts and human-like emotions.
And the feeding of one hundred million points before finally allowed it to completely break free from its original life level, as if it had crossed into a stage like a congenital creature.
Although it wasn't certain if it had reached that level, this direction had been opened!
However, compared to congenital creatures...
Looking at the light sphere in front of him, Ye Tian felt it was more like a congenital treasure.
It's just that Ye Tian hadn't encountered existences like congenital creatures, Acquired creatures, or Chaos seeds yet, so he didn't have a general judgment for the time being.
What was certain was that Xiao Zao had at least found her path!
"Xiao Zao."
"Present, Boss!" The Creator System, who was arguing with the prophecy diary, immediately turned and came before Ye Tian.
If she had hands and feet, she might be standing at attention, chest puffed out.
"I have a task for you." Ye Tian had given the Creator System so many days off; now, of course, it was time to return to work immediately.
As for the prophecy diary, it wasn't idle either.
Most of the time, it acted as a weather forecaster in the Host chat group, and of course, when necessary, it would help some Hosts predict a few things to help them go further and be more determined on their cultivation path.
"More work?" Xiao Zao's perked-up motivation immediately dissipated by more than half.
She thought Boss would praise or even reward her for her strength increase...
On the other side, the prophecy diary showed its 'I knew it all along' mood and gloated from the side.
"You go assist Xiao Zao." Ye Tian looked at the prophecy diary, and a sentence it hadn't expected appeared.
This made the prophecy diary freeze: "Huh?"
"You didn't even predict this sentence of mine? You should improve your main ability." While assigning the task, Ye Tian didn't forget to give it a little nudge.
...
Outside.
After Kong Fei finished packing everything, he turned his head to look at the boats already floating on the water.
Everyone was boarding the boats one after another at this moment.
He should also follow the main group.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
A blaze erupted in the Class Seven's Classroom, and a group of people quickly ran from that direction.
Before leaving, to destroy the cat's corpse in the Class Seven's Classroom, Kong Fei also arranged for a group of people to set it on fire.
Despite the distance, the temperature from the raging fire was already transmitted through the air!
It actually added a strong warmth to the entire cold, rainy weather.
No longer lingering, Kong Fei followed the people who had started the fire and walked directly towards the boats on the water.
The hulls were sealed.
Only on the surface, a few centimeters above the water, was there a skylight opening.
After opening the opening, when Kong Fei came down, he could hear the eager human voices inside the boats!
After confirming there were no omissions, Kong Fei returned to the top again.
Although boats of this structure were safe and secure, to determine the direction and where to set sail, someone still needed to be on top to act as everyone's eyes and give commands.
He untied the ropes connecting the boats to the shore.
The surging current soon carried the four raft-like boats swaying into the heavy rain!
The boats moved steadily forward, with no issues of leaking or sinking.
The pouring rain constantly battered the boat planks, making noise. Everyone in the dark cabin felt as if they were in a vast ocean during a downpour.
The turbulent nature seemed capable of capsizing them in this heavy rain with just a tiny wave!
Kong Fei stood on top of the boat, and above his head was a board nailed on, capable of sheltering over ten people from the rain.
This was also part of the boat's design.
Besides Kong Fei, there were several people on top of each boat, under this rain-sheltering board, observing the surrounding situation.
However, most people's attention was on the 1st Teaching Building behind them.
The scorching fire was still blazing hot even at a distance of over ten meters!
The Class Seven's Classroom was completely ignited, and the fire was even spreading upwards!
"Caw caw caw!"
Above the building, a large flock of crows, startled by the thick smoke from the fire, flew out and circled continuously around.
Kong Fei composed his expression, reached out to feel the wind direction, and then shouted down to the people below: "Hoist the sails, set sail!"
The snow-white canvas was raised in the heavy rain.
And the cold wind cutting through the heavy rain was successfully captured steadily by these sails!
At this moment, the boats had power, power given by nature!
The surrounding scenery slowly passed by, which felt incredibly fast for Humans as tiny as ants!
As the long voyage began, the surrounding scenery, familiar yet strange under the downpour, gradually appeared in the eyes of the people on the boats.
Only a small part of the Broadcast Building ahead was visible above the water.
The first floor area was completely submerged, and even the second floor was flooded to a height of over a meter!
The surging waves were still slowly rising under the washing rain.
It was already a fact that this two-story Broadcast Building would eventually be completely submerged.
"Rumble!"
A sudden clap of thunder erupted in the sky. The immense, indescribable sound of thunder made the Humans at this moment appear even more insignificant.
"For us now, wanting to overcome a million-fold difference in mass and reclaim the position of Human overlords from countless creatures, isn't that like ants trying to shake a tree?"
As Kong Fei's mind wandered, Gao Zhengyang beside him suddenly said with some melancholy.
"Perhaps before, but now... it's different." While speaking, Kong Fei didn't forget to glance at the System.
Gao Zhengyang looked calmly at Kong Fei, seemingly wanting to see the source of his confidence in saying that sentence on his face.
If the Human Faction had a Main God standing behind them, then they would have the confidence to speak like that.
"My point is, compared to returning to the position of Human overlord in our current state, if we were to find the reason why all Humans shrunk, and thus solve this problem, returning to our original size, that would also be a way to return to the Peak."
"Finding the reason why all Humans shrunk a hundredfold?" Hearing this, Kong Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the System panel before him.
He remembered asking the System this question before.
The System didn't say it didn't know, but required Destiny Points to answer!
"System, after the Era of Destiny arrived, why did only all Humans shrink? What exactly is the reason for this?" He had been busy with weapons, equipment, and various trivia in the 1st Building before.
Prompted by Gao Zhengyang at this moment, Kong Fei immediately asked the System aloud.
The answer to this question was extremely precious to him, and to all Humans!
That represented a direction, a direction that Kong Fei hadn't even touched upon despite surviving for ten years in the Era of Destiny!
"Ding~ Does the Host wish to consume 2% Destiny Points to obtain the answer to this question?"
This question, taken alone, required 2% Destiny Points to answer.
Facing this, Kong Fei didn't hesitate much: "Answer!"
