Above the sky, nine brilliant stars shone, their endless starlight directly overshadowing the moonlight, like a celestial river cascading toward the human world.

At the same time, the entire world began to undergo strange changes.

The starry sky glimmered, and suddenly, the weather changed dramatically, with fierce winds sweeping through, producing sounds akin to beastly roars, extremely wild and overbearing. The sea of clouds surged, as if tidal waves, constantly rolling in the sky, covering the dome of heaven.

This terrifying change was like a natural disaster, causing the beings below to be immensely terrified and extremely chaotic, thinking that a violent storm was approaching.

Unexpectedly, before the storm arrived, strange sounds emanated from the stormy sky, not thunder but like the tearing of a steel plate.

The cloud cover that obscured the sky suddenly shattered, revealing deep and mysterious void rifts like scars of heaven and earth, embedded in various places in the sky.

These void rifts naturally did not only appear in the sky; they scattered all over the world, appearing directly within human cities, in remote wilderness and mountains, and even buried underground and in the ocean...

Invariably, these void rifts exuded great quantities of spiritual qi.

These concentrated spiritual qi first affected the surrounding areas, transforming them into spiritual lands conducive to cultivation.

Patches of wilderness hills, originally sparse in spiritual qi and spiritual objects, suddenly seemed to come alive.

Furthermore, the cities where void rifts appeared saw their extraordinaries benefit greatly, instantly breaking through boundaries and greatly enhancing their strength.

Thus, one would not be exaggerating to call this phenomenon a spiritual qi surge.

Currently, over Changbai Mountain, a large and two small spatial rifts appeared, deep and black, suspended overhead, making one's scalp feel numb.

"Third Sister, what's happening?"

Though Jiang Che had already heard the explanation from Nangong Luo's inner voice, he pretended not to know and asked gravely.

After all, he was just an ordinary tiger and didn't understand much.

"Big Brother, this is the second eruption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and those dark portals are void rifts, continuously spewing spiritual qi."

Nangong Luo gathered herself and turned to explain.

"I see, but it's quite frightening. In just a moment, I can feel the spiritual qi concentration around Changbai Mountain has risen slightly.

If this continues for a while, with spiritual qi persistently pouring out, the world's spiritual qi concentration could reach an unimaginable level!"

This change in spiritual qi was apparent to Jiang Che, who exclaimed in astonishment.

These void rifts were like thick water pipes inserted between heaven and earth, constantly adding more qi. In the end, won't the spiritual qi get too dense? It might even liquefy worldwide.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think, Big Brother. This spiritual qi surge should only last ten days.

Nonetheless, the change will be significant, and the world's spiritual qi will increase drastically; compared to it, our Changbai Mountain's spiritual qi is petty."

"Furthermore, this change benefits both humans and fearsome beasts; soon, third-grade beasts and extraordinaries will emerge like bamboo shoots after rain, growing rapidly in number."

Nangong Luo slightly shook her head, explaining a couple of things, then sighed.

After this spiritual qi surge, it's a new beginning, and the previously stable situation will likely change.

Nangong Luo continued, "However, compared to the frail physique of humans, the physique of fearsome beasts is much stronger.

So, after the rise in spiritual qi concentration, the evolution speed of beasts will obviously surpass humans, holding a numerical advantage in the third grade."

"Humanity's real crisis has begun; although firearms are not entirely obsolete, they're less effective..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che shook his head and sighed.

Previously, humans could use firearms to suppress the large but weaker first and second-grade beasts, with occasional third-grade beasts, and Changbai Mountain handled them too, keeping the Great Qin Empire relatively stable, though occasional beast slaughters happened with minimal casualties.

But the future is different; the Spiritual Power Shield is extremely fatal to humans, difficult to deal with third-grade beasts with firearms, and when many third-grade beasts appear, human disaster will descend.

Not to mention thousands, even hundreds of third-grade beasts attacking various locations of the Great Qin Empire, what can humans use to handle that?

Seek help from Changbai Mountain? Setting aside whether Nangong Luo can manage it, every time she intervenes, payment is due, and handling hundreds of third-grade beasts might be unaffordable for humans.

However, while the spiritual qi surge is mixed news for humans, it's outstanding news for Jiang Che as a fearsome beast.

With spiritual qi concentration increasing manifold, Nangong Luo and her companions' progress will accelerate, and Jiang Che's cultivation will naturally advance rapidly under tenfold feedback.

"The Big Brother is right, humans may face some trials.

But as long as humanity has nuclear weapons, they can advance and retreat freely.

The changes brought by this spiritual qi surge can only inflict some losses on them, perhaps severely damaging their vitality."

Nangong Luo nodded.

While Jiang Che and Nangong Luo were conversing, disasters from void rifts emerged worldwide.

Some void rifts directly appeared on roads in human cities, causing cars unable to brake in time to plummet into the dark voids.

A large number of vehicles behind them braked sharply, causing terrifying chain collision accidents, with blaring alarms echoing painfully along the roads.

Some even abruptly appeared in skyscrapers' central areas, swallowing parts of the building.

The humans working there screamed in terror, uncontrollably falling into the void with their equipment and papers.

In the wilderness, fearsome beasts sensing the spiritual qi changes excitedly roared and rushed toward the void rift locations.

Nearby cities saw beasts forming small tides and pouring into cities with void rifts.

All locations' Great Qin Empire military regions dispatched troops with full force to block these reckless beasts outside the city.

However, flying beasts managed to break through the blockade, entered cities, and wreaked havoc around the rifts, causing extensive casualties.
