Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 440: Eschaton

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

How did spiritual energy come about?

Originally, Fang Yuan attributed it to the Spiritual King Comet.

However, after Fang Yuan received the array inheritance from Jade Palace Faction and saw the path they chose, he wavered.

"Who knows, maybe the Spiritual King Comet is just a harbinger or an omen... I'm afraid the truth behinds the scene might be beyond my imagination..."

Fang Yuan mumbled to himself and unknowingly tightened his grip on the silk book.

Actually, the array Jade Palace Faction developed to target the Spiritual King Comet felt familiar to Fang Yuan.

And that peculiarity was shockingly from Sage Changli's 6 and 9 Array.

"The 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array and 9 Heavenly Sky Net Array were the fruits of Sage Changli's lifelong labour and he has never visited this realm before, I guess all roads lead to Rome?"

"Spiritual energy... realm, really interesting!"

Fang Yuan sat on the seat of the head of the Jade Palace Faction. After ruminating for a long time, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Outside the secret cave, Bull's Head Mountain.

"Adoptive father?!"

Light shined and Fang Yuan appeared. Lorita and Angel immediately went beside him and hugged his arms.

"Eh, this hollow is the White Jade Capital in the skies, where the Jade Palace Faction based themselves in last time..."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and a door of light appeared.

"You all can go in and look for your own opportunities!"

At such a level of cultivation, Fang Yuan did not have many desires. Even the source of spiritual energy inside the hollow was dispensable to him.

If Fang Yuan did not break through to the 5th Grade of his Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell, form his area and then devour more spiritual energy, the ultimate outcome of his body would be that it would explode and die.

"What?"

Leader Cai and Wang Xin were delighted after hearing such, "We are included too?"

"Of course, after all, this cave was left behind by the ancestors of our Chinese Country for us descendants..."

Fang Yuan smiled and answered them, he felt as though he had awakened his talent of being a wealth granting child.

In actual fact, not only did he not take any of the treasures inside the cave, he even left behind many things. The things he left behind were all the wild thoughts about spiritual energy techniques he silently came up with these few years.

If any fated person were to pick it up, the outcome would be... Hehe...

"Also, regarding the mutation of the spiritual beasts here, they are most probably due to the vapourisation of spiritual energy from inside this cave. It would be no problem after I seal it again..."

Fang Yuan continued, "Although I cannot resolve the danger of beasts injuring people, your mission is completed."

"Thank you very much, Sir!"

Leader Cai thanked profusely and was slightly puzzled, "Why can't the dangers be completely removed even after removing its source?"

"This is naturally due to the spread of the original influence..."

Fang Yuan gave a cold laughter, "Previously, the increase of ferocious beasts in this area was due to the spiritual energy vapourising from the cave. But from this year onwards, the concentration of spiritual energy on our planet, on land, in the skies and around us has spiked. Thus, more and more beasts would appear and that small village at the foot of the mountain would be gone sooner or later..."

In actual fact, the situation was worse than that.

Concentrated amounts of spiritual droplets could even interfere with firearms. More seriously, it could even influence nuclear reactions.

If the powers of technology continued to decline, supernormal beings would rise above and gain the powers to crush everything.

Fang Yuan's gaze deepened as he thought of what Farquhar said.

Such a realm where spiritual energy was resurging was like a feast to them. But to the normal people or even normal organisation forces, it was truly like a calamity.

…...

Golden Eagle Federation, West Continent.

On the blue seas, a naval fleet was cutting across the waves in high-spirits like a sharp sword.

Even though the federation was met with a rare massive flood that flooded over half the country, the people of the federation who were at the peak of civilisation still rebuilt their country in ten years with their strong, pioneering and relentless spirits. Now, the Golden Eagle Federation was prospering. Not only did they fully recovered from the disaster, they were now making use of the third occurrence and the changes in spiritual energy to increase their influence and powers by forcefully deploying troops to aid smaller countries.

On the deck of a battleship, the navy Commanding Officer's chest was emblazoned with shiny insignias. He was holding a telescope and looking at the calm seas.

"Commanding Officer!"

Suddenly, an orderly soldier went forward and saluted him, "From the latest news, Westpost Country has already agreed to accept all of our federation's conditions. From today onwards, they will hand over Panda Harbour for our navy to set up our forward operating base. They will also bear all our military fees and their only request would be to assist them in annihilating the wild beasts on their soils! Currently, the president's orders have already been passed down."

"No problem!"

The white-haired Commanding Officer's face was red with glee, "Immediately send down my command, our entire fleet will rush over to Panda Harbour at full speed... those mixed-blood mutts can't even keep their own countries' soil and it's good that they handed them to our Golden Eagle Federation, haha..."

At this moment, he even sincerely thanked God for allowing the spiritual energy calamity to continue. He was even hoping for the day when other middle-tiered countries in West Continent could not withstand it anymore too. They would have to resort to begging the Golden Eagle Federation for aid and thus, they would willingly sign unfair contracts that ceded their land to the federation.

"With the current situation continuing, only three years is needed... No, in two years, Golden Eagle Federation would be able to unite the powers of the entire West Continent and become the sole overlord of the entire world?"

The Commanding Officer was very pleased and was thinking if he should host a banquet that night to celebrate with some champagne and steak.

"Warning!"

Suddenly, a piercing alarm rang, "Our radar has picked up a giant lifeform ahead!"

"A whale? Just chase it away or give it two charges of the naval mine..."

The Commanding Officer instructed as per usual. However, he suddenly realised, "Wait... if it is a normal whale, why is there a warning?"

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, a loud noise suddenly erupted from a cruiser near the outer edge of the fleet. It then exploded while sparks and flames flew.

"What happened to White Pigeon Cruiser?"

"We were attacked by an unknown force!"

"Was it a marine beast?"

The Commanding Officer grabbed onto a pole tightly and muttered.

Although mutants with special abilities had already appeared for more than ten years, the biggest trouble this invincible naval fleet had ever met on the seas was merely an enormous whale that was over 300 feet long. In the end, the whale was still blasted by a cannon.

"D*mned marine creature! Use the water mine and kill it!"

The Commanding Officer ordered angrily. Immediately, an intense tremor suddenly spread from the deck and almost caused him to fall.

"Putt! Putt!"

Two black coloured octopuses with tentacles 300 feet long emerged from the seas. The tentacles were humongous and they were like the palms of the God of Sea.

"Rumble!"

Their tentacles were full of suction cups and they grabbed onto a battleship and began to shake it violently.

As the tall waves crashed, a gigantic black shadow could be vaguely be seen hidden in the sea. It was as though their numerous tentacles were demons that came from hell as they continuously caused death.

"A giant octopus that is over hundreds of yards long... Oh Lord..."

The Commanding Officer shouted in shock as he felt as though the entire ocean had changed and he no longer recognised it.

"Hiss hiss..."

However, things beyond his imagination had only just started.

Accompanied by a hissing sound, a 300-yard long giant sea snake sprang out from the waters and immediately coiled tightly around one of the battleships. Large amounts of gas vapourised from its scales and in a few seconds, everyone on the ship had lost their fighting strength.

"Bang!"

There was yet another banging noise. Another destroyer was surrounded and attacked by a group of tiger sharks. The tiger sharks were over 30 feet long. Moments later, the entire ship was torn into shreds and blood dyed the ocean surface red.

"What exactly is happening? Why did the seas become so dangerous all of a sudden?"

The Commanding Officer rolled his eyes, "No... These are not beasts, they have intelligence! They were hiding deep inside the ocean for over ten years and only reappeared now!

To humans, this was an unfortunate news.

As for the Commanding Officer of the ace battleship, he had the luck to withstand to the last moments of the fleet to witness the appearance of a sea dragon from deep within the ocean!

"Roar! Roar!"

This was a monster that was similar to the dragon from Middle Continent's mythology. It was about 300 feet long and the scales on its body were like blue gemstones that shined brightly. It had huge claws on its body and a single horn on its forehead.

The ferocious and evil marine beasts immediately gave way to the dragon after it appeared as a sign of submission.

It straightened its body and its anthropomorphic dragon eyes flashed with a hint of disdain. It opened its dragon mouth and spat out a beam of blue coloured light.

"Kaboom!"

No matter how sturdy the deck was, under the beam of light, the deck exploded and drove the entire battleship to desolation.

"The king of marine beasts? It is accumulating its strength, is it preparing to attack land? Haha... how ironic..."

The Commanding Officer laughed crazily, "I have never lost to a human in a naval war, but now, I'm dying to a monster instead..."

Under the immense sparks and flames, the entire battleship was obliterated and the Commanding Officer's body disappeared.

"Roar!"

As the giant blue sea dragon watched, he let out a satisfied roar. Other giant marine beasts also immediately followed it towards a harbour at Golden Eagle Federation.

Behind them, there were countless marine beasts with bloodthirsty looks in their eyes...

...

Blue Star Alliance.

"Due to the insurrection of marine beasts, all ocean routes are stopped?"

On top of Holy Mountain, the Pope looked at the intelligence on his hands and remained silent.

"Reports of beast attacks keep popping up everywhere. There are even cities that have lost contact?"

"Raphael!"

A holy light descended and turned into a seraph.

"Lord!"

The Pope immediately kneeled down and saluted.

"The counterattack of nature has already begun... let our believers stay far away from the forests and seas. Stock up on food and let them prepare to tide through this worldly calamity. This is a test given by God, only those who are the most staunch and resolute can go to Heaven..."

"Understood, my Lord!"

Farquhar words were holy prophecies. The Pope stood up with a solemn expression. "Everybody... send down Lord's decree to the pastors and believers!"

As the Pope watched the bishops leave respectfully, his face appeared calm. However, he secretly sighed inside his heart.

God's words made him feel a tinge of uneasiness.

To humans, such a crisis was almost doomsday.
