Awakening the Guardian Beast Spirits required enormous amounts of energy.
The spirits were not weak entities.
They were fragments of beings that once stood at the peak of existence. Maintaining their consciousness required tremendous power. That was why the Tournament of the Guardian Beasts was held every hundred years.
The time was not arbitrary.
A hundred years was the amount of time required for the temple arrays and the faith of countless worshippers to accumulate enough spiritual energy for the spirits to awaken once again.
Of course, the spirits maintained emergency reserves.
If a world faced catastrophic danger, the temple could awaken them.
But such emergencies were rare.
And this moment…
Was clearly not one.
Which made what had just happened utterly incomprehensible.
Temple Head Puyi felt a cold shiver run down his spine.
Just how had Lin Mu awakened them?
Above the temple floor, the two spirits slowly turned their immense heads.
