Chapter 897: Stuffed After One Bite
As Fang Jie continued to extract, changes began to appear among the people of the entire world.
The original natives of the world, especially those who resisted, had their talents exploding continually, and their strength kept increasing. Many people broke through under various circumstances, as if heaven and earth were blessing them, progressing very smoothly.
However, as the battle continued, changes occurred as both sides paid a huge price.
Of course, the so-called huge price was almost negligible for those Undead.
But as their territory diminished and their Origin reduced, the resisting people found that their talents seemed not as strong as before. Their talents gradually returned to their original state.
Yet, they didn't pay much attention to this situation, for they were originally like this anyway.
During this period, it was already remarkable to achieve so many breakthroughs and improvements.
However, as the battle continued, they discovered something seemed off. Many people suddenly found the originally loose bottleneck gradually becoming stable.
The strength that was about to break through suddenly couldn't break through anymore.
Some even discovered that even without reaching a bottleneck, various mysterious bottlenecks appeared.
Some of the natives who could still improve found their cultivation speed getting slower, similar to those who originally had poor talent. What exactly was going on?
After some research, they found that those with poor talent even progressed at a snail's pace.
Then, some Mages found that their magic power began to decline. Their magic was fueled by their own strength borrowing external power for activation, not all spells solely generated by themselves.
But Mages revived for too short a time, borrowing from the Divine power believers in the past.
Otherwise, these Mages would have already noticed problems with their spells. When they all discovered the issues, the resistance really couldn't match up, and the gap kept widening.
Just because they fought separately, without much communication.
Therefore, they didn't know about the situation in other areas, still thinking others were progressing rapidly, which allowed them to persist. Otherwise, they would have collapsed long ago.
Only Fang Jie knew what was happening, the development of a world is closely related to the World Origin.
The stronger the World Origin, the wiser the living creatures, and the higher their talents.
Simultaneously, the world could accommodate higher limits, speeding up cultivation. After all, the world's development is closely connected with these creatures. The enhancement of living things could bring some benefits to the world.
Those benefits are on the Law level, intangible.
So, although Gods can bring immense destruction to the world, the world will instinctively nurture more and stronger Gods for its development.
But when the World Power weakens, those benefits vanish.
With the Law Power becoming weaker, even the activity of various energies began to decline.
The various elements utilized by Mages, and other energies, are now challenging to mobilize, even rapidly decreasing. Under such circumstances, how could those Mages exert their strength?
Know that, if relying solely on their own strength, most Mages may not even be a match for warriors.
However, there are exceptions, like those with strong inherent strength, but they are rare and difficult to cultivate.
Unconsciously, the whole world gradually got occupied. The speed at which Fang Jie extracted the World Origin Power also accelerated. The entire world began to experience enormous disasters.
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were everywhere; from the outside, the world had visible cracks.
If this continued, it was only a matter of time before the world collapsed, a collapse already irreversible. Even if Fang Jie stopped now, the world would still slide towards destruction step by step.
Fang Jie roughly calculated in his heart that after extracting thirty percent of the World Power, the world became like this.
He wondered if all worlds were like this or if this instance was just a special case.
Guess it makes sense. If a creature was to be killed, it wouldn't need all cells to be obliterated. Just some damage, and the person naturally can't be saved.
As the world gradually got occupied, Fang Jie suddenly discovered a problem: he had reached his capacity limit.
Simply put, he was indulged to the point of being over-full, stuffed with Origin Power.
"Not good, can't continue absorbing, how could it be like this just at fifty percent?" Fang Jie was speechless, originally planning to absorb until only a bit over ten percent was left to spare for the All Heavens Hunting Ground.
That way, he could consume the main portion peacefully to elevate his own strength.
But now, he found himself already full after just consuming half; it seemed too wasteful.
Yet, he could only contain so much. Fang Jie also found the main issue was those Divine Origins, which weren't as powerful as World Origins but occupied more space.
But casting them out now would be overly wasteful and time-consuming.
During such a long time, perhaps the world would collapse on its own.
"Forget it, absorb with all might," Fang Jie directly commanded local Demigods, along with Legendary beings who stood by. Arrays were quickly set up, followed by a massive number of Demigods eagerly starting to devour and absorb.
However, despite their massive numbers, the absorption speed wasn't fast enough.
Moreover, even at this moment, the world's inherent resistance still thwarted them.
Fang Jie had an idea, marking it; the power of the All Heavens Hunting Ground began to arrive. With the help of the All Heavens Hunting Ground, those Demigods and Legendaries finally could draw some World Origin Power.
The world was too mighty, impossible for them to extract easily on their own.
And Fang Jie's power was too weak to persuade the world to relinquish Origin willingly.
This way, the power Fang Jie could extract became even lesser. But there was no other way, for he didn't know before. Such worlds might be revisited later, with plenty of Demigods under his command.
Relying on numbers, these Demigods extracted a considerable amount altogether.
When the power of the All Heavens Hunting Ground arrived, Fang Jie found these subordinates had already extracted over half, close to one full tenth of the volume. From such a vast world, extracting this much was bound to herald another surge of enhancement for his Divine Domain.
But for now, they needed to halt, or they'd surely face retribution.
