Chapter 1597 Weird Spiritual Energy

"By the way, my name's Yuan. What should I call you?" Yuan said suddenly, recalling that he hadn't introduced himself.

"You can call me Yingzi," she said.

'So they also have names here, huh?' Yuan mused to himself.

Given that names are primarily a human custom, he assumed that entities in this world might not follow such practices.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he realized it wasn't that weird for them to have names since some of them also wear clothes.

'They must have learned a thing or two from the humans who have traversed this world in the past.'

"Do you know what happened to the humans that came to this world before?" Yuan decided to ask.

"Most of them were killed and consumed," Yingzi responded without an ounce of pity in her tone.

She continued, "As for those that survived, they were enslaved by Predators and studied."

Yuan shuddered at this information.

"So there's a possibility that some humans may still exist in this world?" he inquired.

Yingzi pondered for a moment before nodding, "It's possible, but very unlikely. The last human to appear was several million years ago, and humans cannot live that long."

"If they're an Immortal, they should be able to survive that long, though," Yuan said.

However, before Yingzi even responded, Xiao Hua's voice resounded inside his head, "B-Brother Yuan! The spiritual energy in this place is very weird!"

"What?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Yu Ning's voice followed: "I can't believe we haven't noticed this until now. While the spiritual energy in this world may seem normal at a glance, it is actually incredibly difficult to absorb!"

"..."

Yuan also hadn't noticed this change since their bizarre situation had completely occupied his mind. If Xiao Hua hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have noticed until much later.

However, when Yuan tried to absorb the spiritual energy around him to experiment, he didn't notice any difference.

"Huh? Are you sure? I am absorbing it just fine, nor do I feel any difference when compared to the Nine Heavens."

"Seriously…? But when I try to absorb it, I would only get about 1 percent of what I should… It's like trying to breathe while being choked." Yu Ning tried to describe her own experience.

"It's the same for me." Xiao Hua said.

Perhaps this was the real reason why Yuan hadn't noticed anything. After all, he was absorbing the spiritual energy there just fine.

'If the others were also having trouble absorbing the spiritual energy in this place, even Immortals would slowly perish from a lack of spiritual energy…'

Yuan quickly understood why Yingzi claimed that humans couldn't live for so long. However, he couldn't figure out why he was able to absorb the spiritual energy there without any issues.

"Hey." Yingzi suddenly called out to him.

"Yes?"
