GA: Chapter 89: A Small World Born Within the Body — A Living Hell After the Spiritual Tide
A soft, luminous glow wrapped around Bai Xuan's heart.
With every beat, he could clearly feel his body undergoing a new transformation.
While he was immersed in cultivation, his consciousness gradually drifted into unconsciousness.
When it awakened again, he found himself in an unknown space.
Mountains stretched for thousands of miles, vegetation flourished everywhere.
What entered Bai Xuan's vision was almost an endless landscape of beauty.
Rivers, willows, bamboo forests, flower fields…
Without a doubt, this world was filled with overwhelming vitality.
More than that, Bai Xuan could sense that the spiritual energy in this place was even denser than in the real world.
At that moment, the Authority of Nature also conveyed information to him.
This was a small world separate from reality—belonging only to Bai Xuan.
This world had no upper limit. The stronger Bai Xuan became, the larger it would grow, and the more abundant its spiritual energy would become.
As for why it was created, even the will of the world did not provide an answer.
It seemed that this space held an extremely important role in his future growth.
Bai Xuan bent down and touched the ground. Then he casually picked up a stone, his eyes revealing a trace of surprise.
He could actually sense a considerable amount of spiritual energy inside it.
A spirit stone?
That was the closest way to describe it—but wasn't the quantity a bit too exaggerated?
He looked at the ground, where stones like this were everywhere. They seemed no different from the one in his hand, differing only in the amount of spiritual energy contained within.
What an enormous investment.
Even accounting for the scale of the world, the density of spiritual energy here was absurdly high.
If even stones could transform into spirit stones, then what about the plants, fruits, and streams?
Would they all become heavenly treasures?
Bai Xuan shook his head. His mentality remained calm. Although he was slightly surprised, he was not shaken.
In the future, he could bring some animals into this small world.
Otherwise, it would feel too lonely.
Hmm… maybe Pokémon would also be good. They would probably like this place.
It could also give Pikachu some companions.
With a thought, Bai Xuan's consciousness withdrew from this space and returned to the room, looking at the area where the manifested items were stored.
During his transformation, some items had quietly disappeared.
"Just when I said the time hadn't come… it arrived so quickly."
"I wonder who will obtain them."
He smiled lightly, then went to prepare food.
The spiritual tide had come too suddenly—Pikachu and the others would likely be hungry soon.
But compared to Bai Xuan's calmness, the rest of the world was far from peaceful.
The impact of the second spiritual tide was far too great for both humans and mutated beasts.
If someone attracted too much spiritual energy but could not withstand it, causing a spiritual energy backlash, the result would be a disaster for everyone nearby.
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted from an apartment building. Flames instantly engulfed the entire structure, accompanied by continuous detonations.
By the time the Spiritual Energy Bureau arrived, what awaited them was already a scene from hell.
Meanwhile, on streets and in shopping centers, countless people were unable to endure the spiritual baptism and exploded into pools of blood.
Wailing, screams, crying…
The world had descended into chaos.
"Dad… Mom… where are you?"
"I didn't mean it… I really didn't…"
Following the spiritual signature, the bureau found the source of the explosion—a little girl who had awakened a fire-based talent.
She was curled up in a corner, trembling. On the ground lay two charred, unrecognizable corpses.
"…"
Ning Guang and the others sighed and took her away.
This was all they could do.
Compared to the first gentle awakening, this second spiritual tide was far more violent—far more brutal.
No one knew how many casualties this time would bring.
With a sharp cry, birds filled the sky, diving toward the ground.
Not only birds, but mutated beasts of all kinds appeared from everywhere—wolves, rats, ants, stray cats, stray dogs…
Their eyes were blood-red, filled with madness as they charged toward humanity.
Perhaps it was instinct. Perhaps it was opportunity.
But in truth, no reason was needed.
Mutated beasts and humans were enemies.
They could not coexist.
There was no reason for harmony.
This world had once been dominated by humans.
Even after the first spiritual awakening, mutated beasts were still too weak to threaten humanity's dominance.
But this time was different.
This spiritual tide gave them the potential to challenge human supremacy.
As intelligence rose, new thoughts would inevitably emerge.
Who said the world must belong to humans?
Why couldn't it belong to them instead?
In the future, each powerful mutated beast might command entire swarms, becoming a massive threat to humanity.
Thus, before that day arrived, humans had only one choice:
Suppress them—at any cost.
Mercy? Kindness? Compassion?
Those could only exist after survival, not before it.
Resources on Earth were limited.
Even with mutation and evolution, they would never be enough for everyone.
Humans controlled the richest lands.
Would mutated beasts simply accept that?
Impossible.
Better to eliminate them early than wait for their rise.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Gunfire roared and artillery thundered.
Members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau surged forward, unleashing their abilities to suppress the beasts.
Their expressions were firm—and even excited.
They had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Behind them, civilians watched the battlefield.
Their hearts trembled with fear, hope…
And an emotion they could not name.
As the old world collapsed…
A new one was rising.
