Chapter 199 - 199: Fragments of the Afterlife Spiritual Treasures?  

However, when it first appeared, they didn’t pay too much attention to it.

They just considered it a normal phenomenon or a random event.

But after three days had passed, the daily resources being generated were indeed reduced to only a tenth of what they used to be.

This result was quite stable, as if these resource points would only produce this amount in the future.

The sudden decrease in resources immediately startled the guardians of these resource points.

This situation was abnormal.

A significant reduction like this would certainly be unacceptable to those who were responsible for guarding these resource points, and the higher-ups might even suspect them of tampering.

If they were wrongfully accused, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves.

Therefore, the guardians of these resource points quickly reported this matter upwards.

However, as they reported it, they realized that this was not only happening at their specific resource point.

All the resource points within their control area were experiencing the same issue, whether it was the birth of Primordial Spirit Elixir or Starlight Essence.

Compared to before, these resource-generating locations were only producing a fraction of their previous output.

This result left the city’s overseers bewildered. Could it be that there was a problem with the Galactic Origin Source, which caused all the resource points to decrease their output?

How could this reduction in resources be so synchronous? These were the thoughts in the minds of all the non-human races.

However, this issue had not been confirmed and was still just their speculation. Therefore, they dispatched people to investigate the cause.

“At present, we haven’t found any clues… From the current information, it’s highly likely that the problem lies with the resource points.” action

“Or it could be an issue with the Galactic Origin Source itself that’s causing the reduction in resources at the resource points.”

The person in charge of the investigation also didn’t obtain any leads. Over the course of three days, they had thoroughly examined all areas inside and outside the resource points but found no problems.

There were no signs of tampering either. They even witnessed the resources being generated, which was indeed reduced by ninety percent.

The facts were right in front of them, and they had to believe it.

“Conduct a more thorough investigation. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to use the Galactic Origin to stimulate resource production; otherwise, the resources won’t be sufficient…

“Understood.”

The high-ranking officials of this non-human city couldn’t say much more.

They couldn’t blame their subordinates. Over the past few days, they had inspected all the resource points.

They hadn’t discovered any problems themselves. Did that mean they were also useless?

No matter how you looked at it, this was definitely not a good sign.

If it was a problem with the Galactic Origin Source, it would affect the resource points controlled by other cities as well.

After thinking about this, the high-ranking official of this non-human city decided to gather some information about this matter.

Whether it was a problem with the entire Galactic Origin Source or just their area, they had to figure it out.

It shouldn’t be a problem with the entire Galactic Origin Source, as it would certainly cause a significant disturbance.

It should be limited to a certain area, but they didn’t know the exact scope. In this way, the high-ranking officials of various non-human cities began to contact each other.

When they did, they found out that everyone was facing the same issue. This provided them with some relief.

It wasn’t just about their own city or their bad luck; it was the same for everyone.

Although this situation wouldn’t improve their circumstances, knowing that it wasn’t just them experiencing it made them feel slightly more at ease.

However, as they continued to investigate, they also discovered a problem.

Some resource points controlled by other non-human cities hadn’t been affected temporarily. These resource points were simply located further away.

When they learned about this, they felt somewhat uncomfortable. It seemed that the problem was limited to their specific region.

It wasn’t the entire Galactic Origin Source or the entire Black Serpent Plains. It was just their area.

Although this situation left them dissatisfied, it was something they couldn’t change.

They didn’t even know how this problem had arisen. How could they change it?

There was no choice but to endure it. In order to obtain a bit more resources, they began trying to accelerate resource production using the Galactic Origin.

However, after employing this method, they realized that the resources generated were still only a fraction of what they used to be.

For instance, previously, using a strand of Galactic Origin would yield twenty drops of lower-grade Primordial Spirit Elixir, but now, it only produced two drops.

The remaining eighteen drops were nowhere to be found. This made them very uncomfortable.

As time passed, three more days went by within the Galactic Origin Source.

During these three days, Su Yang had collected a sufficient amount of sentient willpower.

He had progressed through twenty percent of the Black Serpent Plains during these three days.

[Sentient Willpower: 7.8 billion]

After three days had passed, his causality sword technique warned him that danger was approaching.

At the same time, Ye Lei messaged him, saying that a hundred True Immortals were gathering to take action against him.

It was at this point that he stopped hunting and prepared to increase his strength.

He couldn’t be sure whether Profound Immortals were safe, so he decided to raise his power to the level of a Golden Immortal.

In fact, the warning provided by his causality sword technique was quite mild. There wasn’t a strong sense of danger, or one could even say that there was none.

Well, it meant that the impending crisis wouldn’t even scratch the surface of his defenses..
