Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

Chapter 938 Success, a complete mess

With a substantial and stable source of energy, sublimation gradually began to show signs of advancement.

I don’t know how long it took.

Within the vast sublimation zone, energy becomes extremely scarce.

Even with three balancing scales draining energy and ten auxiliary zones providing power, the downward trend in energy levels could not be stopped.

The altar was surrounded by bottles that had contained potions, and the spirit stones beside it had almost all turned dull and lifeless.

The dragon veins in the sky have also changed from enormous creatures thousands of meters long to giant serpents tens of meters long.

The members on the altar were all extremely listless.

The energy currents connecting them also became very weak.

The members gritted their teeth and persevered, frantically squeezing every last drop of energy from their bodies.

But before they could hold on for long, they felt the power of the altar gradually disappear.

The torrent of energy connecting them gradually came to a halt.

The energy convergence of the region, the dragon vein overhead, and the towering black pillars in the distance all disappeared.

Upon realizing this, everyone was taken aback at first, and then they all looked up at the center of the altar.

When they saw Zhang Chi slowly open his eyes and even stand up.

Only then did they finally relax, collapsing one after another onto the altar.

Even someone as powerful as Little Red became listless.

At first glance, Zhang Chi mistook it for a wildflower that was about to wither.

Seeing the devastation around him, Zhang Chi's joy was somewhat diminished.

He immediately summoned his divided soul, and together they sent the 500,000 people back to rest one by one.

However, when it brought Xiao Hong to the Changchun Fountain of Youth, it suddenly froze.

At this moment, Hao Yun, who was originally leaning against the edge of the Fountain of Youth, suddenly found herself floating in the water, her back facing upwards, her entire head submerged, and her hair scattering in all directions.

"Hao Yun?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chi frowned and quickly pulled Hao Yun ashore.

After sensing its faint vital signs, Zhang Chi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But when he examined Hao Yun's physical condition, he was surprised to find that Hao Yun was now suffering from even more misfortune.

And it's more than dozens of times more than before.

That’s all.

The key issue is that the misfortune within her has gradually begun to erode her body and soul.

If things continue like this, either Hao Yun will be consumed by misfortune and perish, or she will merge with misfortune.

Thinking of merging with misfortune, he quickly activated the talent appraisal device to assess her talent.

Only after seeing that Hao Yun's talent was still fluctuating between two different types did they breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after observing for a few seconds, he noticed that the time it took for the talent with the name of misfortune to appear seemed to be gradually increasing.

Her situation is clearly not optimistic.

"Huh? (What's wrong with her?)"

Xiao Hong is, after all, the strongest legend in the history of the Empire, and even in the entire Misty World, besides Zhang Chi.

With the replenishment of life force from the Fountain of Youth, Xiao Hong, who was already badly injured, gradually opened her eyes.

Seeing Zhang Chi's furrowed brows as he channeled energy into Hao Yun's body, it couldn't help but ask a question.

"For some reason, the misfortune within her body has increased dozens of times."

Xiao Hong seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

"Phew. (Speaking of which, when the dragon vein and that black stick suddenly exerted their power earlier, I think I saw a large cluster of seven-colored light appear in this direction.)"

Zhang Chi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Is the dragon vein that's been slacking off finally starting to exert its power?

Even the sapling of that towering divine tree has been activated?

That's not surprising.

The members of the Empire have never encountered anything particularly lucky, so how could Hao Yun suddenly accumulate so much misfortune in her body?

However, if he exerted his strength when his talent advancement encountered an unexpected situation, then it would make sense.

Thinking about this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Unexpectedly, a single advancement in talent nearly destroyed his incomparably powerful empire.

He took a deep breath and calmed his somewhat complicated feelings.

He looked at Xiao Hong.

"You focus on recovering and keep an eye on her. I'll go settle the others in first."

"call."

After Xiaohong finished speaking, Zhang Chi disappeared.

He's not the type to stay here and get emotional and shed tears.

No matter what emotions you have, you must solve the problem and handle the situation before venting.

Even though Zhang Chi was extremely powerful and had the help of his divided soul, it still took him a considerable amount of time to settle 500,000 people.

Several hours later, after he had put the last member back in his place, his brow was furrowed into a deep frown.

When he was seeing them off, he didn't forget to give them a medical check-up as well.

He could only say that the situation was far from optimistic.

Many people are already in extremely dangerous situations.

Especially those members who were weaker and had suffered backlash, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were on the verge of death.

Moreover, they were not only injured physically, but also suffered varying degrees of damage to their souls.

If Zhang Chi doesn't take care of things, he might die in a couple of days.

If it's just the physical body that's destroyed, then death is just death.

At worst, we can spend some time and resources to revive it.

But the soul is so fragile, so resurrection will certainly be even more difficult.

With a mythical-level shrine for summoning souls, the soul wouldn't simply dissipate and be unable to be resurrected.

There's a high probability that they'll have to be kept in the shrine for several years to several hundred years.

The members would definitely find this situation even more unacceptable.

Those members were so bored after staying in the jade tablet for just two days last time.

If I stay here for several years, won't I just die of boredom?

And Hao Yun.

It's not a matter of her sleeping for a few years anymore.

Beset by such terrifying misfortune, if she were to die, Zhang Chi even suspected that the shrine for summoning souls had suddenly broken down during her resurrection.

This led to Hao Yun's complete death.

Moreover, that curse has been eroding Hao Yun's soul, and even if she is resurrected, she may not escape the fate of being corrupted.

Zhang Chi was completely unable to accept this outcome.

People risked their lives to extract their own power for him, successfully helping him advance his talent.

As a result, his talent advanced, but he ignored them and let them be imprisoned in the jade tablet.

My friend has a lot of pride; he simply can't accept this.

Moreover.

Even from a purely economic standpoint, there's no reason to let them sleep for several years.

He quickly moved between various warehouses, searching for any resources that could be recovered.

However, due to the ascension and promotion ceremony, most of the recovery resources have been used up.

There are only a few healing items.

Even worse, his higher-level plants were also severely affected by the altar's energy.

It won't recover in a short time.

After a quick check, he discovered that only the Changchun Fountain of Youth, which was already fully booked, had any effect on the members' condition.

He felt a long-lost sense of poverty, a feeling of being so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat.

"That does not work!"

After a couple of minutes of anxiety, Zhang Chi immediately realized that his mindset was off.

He forced himself to calm down, carefully analyze the situation, and look for solutions.

"First, we need to wake up Qian Zhongtian, Sun Shoudan, and Kong Dongfang and get them back to health as soon as possible."

One method is to restore the plant's state and accelerate resource production.

The other two skills, refining elixirs and cooking dishes, can greatly help others recover.

Hmm, let's first extract some of the mystic liquid to help their souls recover as quickly as possible.

"Once the soul is healed, everything else is a minor problem."
