Chapter 266: Stonehenge Is Destroyed, a New Divine Cavern
Since then, Leoux had one more task: to create dark psionic crystals.
Since it was near a white hole, there was enough dark psionic energy for compression and the continuous creation of dark psionic crystals.
Ling Jiu was not sitting idly by, either. Since the Soul Collecting Array was completed, and he could continuously capture the dark psionic particles, he could do other things with undivided attention.
Ling Jiu let his mind sink onto the floating island.
It had been a year since he last visited. The floating island had undergone tremendous changes. The original black land had turned into a dense forest.
Dandelion-like super arcana trees thrived on the vast black ground, forming a dense forest.
A thick blanket of white fog was lingering above the forest. There were even lakes in the forest.
These white fog and lakes were atomized and liquefied dark bio-energy, respectively.
On average, there was a super arcana tree every ten meters on the 100-square-kilometer floating island. By this calculation, there were one million super arcana trees planted on the floating island.
After 24 days of planting, the super-powered trees started to produce dark bio-energy. These one million super-powered trees had produced an enormous amount of dark bio-energy for the past year.
Ling Jiu had been busy and had no time to harvest the dark bio-energy here for the past year. So the dark bio-energy on the floating island had reached an astonishing level. Not only did it condense into a white fog, but a large portion had liquefied and formed into lakes.
It was no exaggeration to say that the floating island in Ling Jiu’s body was definitely a holy land for self-cultivation.
Sapling Ling had grown even taller than previously here. It stuck out on the floating island as if a tree reaching into heaven.
“All this dark bio-energy should be enough for me to form a stellar-class core.”
He did not intend to extract the dark bio-energy on the floating island yet, although he felt thrilled by it.
Leoux had created another batch of dark bio-energy crystals, which was enough for self-cultivation for now. There was no need to extract the dark bio-energy from the floating island.
Besides, the richer the dark bio-energy on the floating island, the faster the super arcana trees could grow, and the faster it grew, the more dark bio-energy it could produce.
This was a virtuous circle.
“One million super arcana trees can produce enough dark bio-energy to form a stellar-class core in one year.”
“Two million super arcana trees can produce enough dark bio-energy to form a stellar-class core in half a year.”
“It only takes one month for twelve million super arcana trees to form a stellar-class core.”
“It will only take one day if there are three hundred and sixty million super arcana trees.”
Ling Jiu was full of enthusiasm. He could not imagine what it was like to have the super arcana trees produce enough dark bio-energy to form a stellar-class core in one day.
It meant that he would be self-sufficient even if there were no dark bio-energy crystals.
The future was incredibly bright.
“Let’s do this!”
Just when he was about to expand the floating island further, his communicator rang. It was Bai Ya calling.
Leoux had given a communicator to each of them so that they could communicate across galaxies.
Ling Jiu took out the communicator and pressed the Answer button. Bai Ya’s image popped up. It looked so realistic that it would be difficult to tell that it was an optical image without touching it.
“What’s wrong, Bai Ya?” Ling Jiu asked in puzzlement.
“Something happened to Earth, Honey.” Bai Ya looked grave. “I got a message from Earth just now, saying that another god was born, and this time this god is powerful. Emperor Might and the others are almost overwhelmed.”
“I’ll be right back!”
Ling Jiu hung up and contacted Leoux.
“Take me back, Leoux.”
Back at Whitehole 2, Bai Ya and Ling Jiu’s parents had stopped practicing. They were anxiously waiting. The news from Earth worried them, so much so they could not concentrate.
“Why isn’t Ling Jiu back yet?”
Yang Ling-er paced back and forth anxiously. She had been here on Whitehole-2 for over 12 years.
After 12 years of self-cultivation, Ling-er was no longer as immature and inexperienced as before. She had grown up as a sexy woman.
She was 26 this year.
Xiaotong was 27.
Their strengths had also grown tremendously as they matured.
Ling-er had become a stellar being in the first two years here. Now that so many years have passed, no one knew how far her strength had grown.
On the other hand, Xiaotong, who started practicing from scratch, had become a stellar being a year ago.
Similarly, Ling Tianci and Yang Su became stellar beings five years ago and had a life span of 1,000 years.
In other words, the entire Ling family was stellar beings—and very powerful ones at that. This was unprecedented in the history of Earth.
“Your brother said he would be back soon. Be patient.”
Bai Ya took a deep breath. “I hope the situation on Earth is not too bad. Or else, we will be in trouble.”
“With Emperor Might and Vulcan holding down the fort, there shouldn’t be any problems for the moment,” Yang Ling-er said.
Everyone nodded.
Stellar beings like Emperor Might and Vulcan were taking turns to practice. They both had spent over six years on Whitehole 2 in total.
With their talents, coupled with the rich dark bio-energy on Whitehole 2, their strength had undergone tremendous changes for the past six years.
They could at least hold up for some time, even if they could not defeat those ancient and ignorant gods.
...
Rewinding a few days ago back on Earth.
There is a world-renowned prehistoric cultural heritage on the Salisbury Plain, over 100 kilometers southwest of London, England.
It is the site of a famous prehistoric site of worship in Europe, the Stonehenge.
Stonehenge comprised dozens of huge rocks arranged in a large circle. Some rocks were six meters tall. The radiocarbon dating method suggested that the site was built around 4,000 to 2,000 BC, from the end of the Neolithic Age to the Bronze Age.
No one knows exactly what it was built for so far.
And no one knows how the ancient Welsh people transported these dozens of tons of boulders to the Salisbury Plain over 300 kilometers away.
Stonehenge has always been synonymous with mystery. Some people say it was built by aliens, while others were built by gods.
There are always divergent opinions about its origin. Because of its mystery, the site attracts countless tourists every year.
Today, as usual, there were many tourists arriving in front of Stonehenge by car. People were taking photos. Everyone was relaxed and happy.
Something happened around Stonehenge just then. There was a tremor on the ground. First, it was minor, then it grew more intense.
“Is it an earthquake?”
Someone yelled. Everyone seemed to have realized what happened only when the huge stones were swaying and were about to collapse.
“It’s an earthquake!”
“Run!”
“Run. Now!”
Those tourists were startled, and they fled for their dear lives.
The tremor at Stonehenge was increasingly violent. When the intensity of the quake reached a threshold, the earth bulged, as if something was hitting from below and about to break out of the ground.
Boom!
The sound of a violent explosion came, and those fleeing tourists turned their heads to take a glimpse of what happened. They saw the ground under Stonehenge exploding.
The violent explosion blasted the huge stones into pieces and left behind a massive pit in the ground.
A dazzling golden light beam shone out of the pit into the sky.
“W-What is that?”
“I-I have no idea.”
“Is it another dimensional fissure?”
Those tourists looked on in horror at the dazzling golden beams from a distance.
They could not comprehend what they saw, but that did not prevent them from reminiscing about the Insectoid invasion four months ago. They could never forget such a disaster.
Boom!
While those tourists were still watching in horror, a soft sonic boom burst out in the air as a dazzling golden ball of light shot out from the massive pit.
Boom!
A terror of coercive force poured out from the golden ball of light, arbitrarily attacking the mind and spirit of all tourists.
No one could escape the assault of the coercive force, no matter how far they had run. They fell, some slumped down, and some knelt on the ground.
“What is going on?”
They all were horrified, looking up with difficulty at the golden ball of light floating in the air.
Just then, the golden light on the ball of light gradually disappeared, revealing a woman wearing a golden bra, golden shorts, and carrying a golden sword on her back.
This woman had a pair of golden wings on her back, and a golden crow was engraved on her forehead. Wearing only a bra and a pair of shorts, her athletic figure was plain to see.
She looked heroic.
“S-She’s an Arcanist?”
Those tourists had recognized this woman at first glance. They became furious in an instant.
“From where is the arcanist? How dare she release her power indiscriminately here? Call the Arcanist Directorate to make a report. I wonder how they control the arcanists!”
Arcanists might enjoy a high status, but they usually were in harmony with ordinary people. Few arcanists released their powers in public.
Yet this arcanist in front of their eyes was attacking them for no reason. She was bullying ordinary people, and she had to be reported to the Arcanist Directorate.
Ordinary arcanists would have disappeared at once. But this woman was casting a sideways glance at the tourists. “Noisy!”
The next moment,
A terrifying golden shock wave burst out of her body, hitting all the tourists, sending them flying out backward with blood spurting out of their mouths.
“W-What are you doing?
“How dare you act violently?
“Report her! Report her immediately!”
The blonde woman ignored the angry tourists. Her eyes brightened up when she looked down at them condescendingly.
“The Lord God is right; the lower realm really has divine power again. This is good news!”
She disappeared into the massive pit after saying that. The tourists got up to their feet and called the Arcanist Directorate.
Not long after, a group of arcanists arrived. They had a conclusion when they saw the destroyed Stonehenge and the massive pit in the center of the Stonehenge.
They reported the incident to the higher-ups.
Not long after that, two stellar beings had come.
“After looking at the videos taken by the tourists, I dare to say that this is another divine cave,” a stellar being said with a grave expression. “Let’s tell the higher-ups.”
Just then, the sound of a sonic boom burst out in the air as several beams of light shot out from the massive pit and came to the outside world.
