Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1261

Chapter 1261 Earth's Impending Destruction

"A hundred years..." Yuan stood there in a daze, trying to comprehend the magnitude of the situation.

However, the Lord had more disheartening news to convey and continued, "The hundred-year threshold is but the present constraint. If the formation's demand for spiritual energy were to escalate further, that limit could decrease significantly—fifty years, even ten years, becomes a distinct possibility."

"Good heavens…" Yuan could no longer muster any strength to stand and took a seat on the ground.

"Is there no way to fix this?" he inquired after a brief pause.

"There are several approaches we can explore," the Lord replied, and he continued, "The first option is to open the gate between Earth and the Nine Heavens and relocate all inhabitants of this world to the Nine Heavens. While this approach would ensure our survival, it would not address the plight of Earth, not to mention the colossal logistical challenges involved in transporting billions of people to a new realm."

"Even if we were to successfully relocate the entire population of this world, we would still confront numerous formidable challenges within the Nine Heavens," the Lord continued. "Questions about habitation, adaptation to the new environment, and the reception by the Nine Heavens' residents would all need to be addressed."

"You're absolutely right... Relocating everyone seems like a desperate, last-resort measure at this point," Yuan sighed, acknowledging the complexity and uncertainties involved.

"The second approach, although even more challenging than the first, involves bringing Earth closer to the Nine Heavens, where the abundant spiritual energy could assist the formation. The very necessity of the formation arises from the lack of spiritual energy in this world," the Lord explained.

"In fact, we probably won't even need the formation anymore at that point. This world was created through spiritual energy, so it would naturally die without it. If we move Earth back to where it once belonged, it would save the people and the world. However, the harsh reality is that achieving the relocation of Earth to its original position is an insurmountable feat for anyone in this world," the Lord concluded, emphasizing the sheer impossibility of the task.

"What if we asked someone from the Nine Heavens to help us?" Yuan asked.

"To undertake the colossal task of relocating this entire world without causing harm to its inhabitants or the world itself, we would need the aid of a Cultivation God. I don't know the current number of Cultivation Gods in existence, but in the past, we could have counted them on one hand and still have fingers to spare."

"Even if we were to locate a Cultivation God, the likelihood of them assisting us is slim to none, given that it would demand an immense amount of power to relocate this world— so much so that it could potentially weaken even a Cultivation God for tens of thousands of years."

"One more problem with this plan. The distance between Earth and the Nine Heavens is so vast that it might take over a hundred years to travel here even for a Cultivation God…" The Lord sighed.

"..."

Yuan was utterly speechless, but he was still trying his best to think of a way to save Earth.

"Now let's talk about the third method." The Lord suddenly said.

"There's more?" Yuan looked at him with a hopeful gaze.

The Lord nodded and said, "The third method is the simplest but also very tricky. I am currently unable to replenish my spiritual energy faster than it is being consumed, so if we can find a way to recover my cultivation base, we can prolong the formation until we find another solution."

"What do you need?" Yuan then asked.
