1448 The Plan to Protect Earth

After successfully controlling her emotions for two seconds, Yu Rou stopped caring and jumped at Yuan with her arms wide open, embracing him tightly.

"I’ve missed you, Brother! You should visit me more often!" she complained.

"Sorry, I’ve been incredibly busy lately, but I’ll try to visit you more often."

"I don’t believe you! You said you’d visit me soon every time we spoke on the phone, but this is your first time showing up!" Yu Rou puffed her cheeks and complained.

Yuan fell silent.

"Brother Yuan?"

"Let’s talk inside. I have something important to tell you. Bai Lianhua, you should join us." Yuan said with a serious expression on his face.

Yu Rou swallowed nervously when she saw his expression. She quickly released him from her embrace and silently nodded before entering her room.

"Just call me Lianhua." Bai Lianhua said as she followed Yu Rou inside.

Yuan entered last and closed the door behind him.

Once they were all seated, Yuan took a deep breath and started explaining the situation to them.

"As you probably already realized by now, Cultivation Online isn’t simply just a game. The Nine Heavens truly exist somewhere in this universe, and our world, Earth, used to be part of the Nine Heavens. However, after a certain incident, we were split from the Nine Heavens and drifted away."

"When a world lacks spiritual energy, it will naturally collapse. Fortunately for us, we have an expert in this world who has the capabilities to support this world with his cultivation base through a powerful formation that surrounds Earth, and he has been doing so for millions of years."

"Unfortunately, due to Cultivation Online, which transfers our soul from Earth to the Nine Heavens and back every time we log in or off Cultivation Online, it has caused irreversible damage to the formation. If this formation is destroyed, the Earth will cease to exist as well."

"W-what?! W-wait a second, Yuan! This is too much information to digest! Are you telling me that our world is ending soon?!" Bai Lianhua exclaimed, her face filled with shock and fear.

"I know it’s a lot of information, and yes, the world is at risk of being destroyed. However, you don’t need to worry, as I have managed to find a way to prevent it for now. That’s why I have been so busy lately, Yu Rou."

"Unbelievable... to think you’ve been trying to save the world... I cannot even begin to imagine the burden on you... I’m sorry for getting mad at you just now..." Yu Rou was on the verge of crying after learning the truth.

"So the world is safe from destruction now, correct?" Bai Lianhua asked for clarification.

He nodded, "Yes, but only for now. It’s just a temporary fix, and with the recent changes, I’m worried it might affect the formation even more. Moreover, our world is too small to have Spirit Lords, much less Spirit Kings that will appear sooner or later."

The room fell silent.

Bai Lianhua then said, "Regarding the cultivation situation, the Cultivators’ Association and governments around the world have already begun working together to prevent cultivators from doing too much destruction."

"This information is only known to the top Legacy Families, but they plan on restricting everyone’s cultivation inside cities to Spirit Master."

"And how do they plan on doing that?" Yuan inquired.

"They have recently created a device that can forcefully restrict a cultivator’s cultivation to a specific level, and they plan on using it soon. I don’t know when they’ll be in service, but the device should be undergoing rigorous testing as we speak."

Yuan narrowed his eyes and began pondering after hearing this information.

"I just thought of a great idea..." he muttered.

"What?"

"Instead of waiting years for these devices, I can simply replace them with arrays and formations!"

"Formations...? You know how to create formations? Array Masters are rare even in Cultivation Online." Bai Lianhua said.

"I do, but I am nowhere near experienced or powerful enough to cover the entire Earth, so I will have to start studying arrays more seriously now."

"Even if you could achieve such a feat, do you really think it’s a good idea to restrict everyone’s cultivation base?" Yu Rou asked.

Hearing this, Yuan sighed, "I am aware of how oppressive and controlling it may sound, but this is for the best for everyone and our world. Forget about Spirit Kings, a fight between two Spirit Lords could already easily destroy a city. We didn’t have this issue before because it was impossible to reach Spirit Lord with the resources available on Earth, but now that we can acquire and use cultivation resources directly from Nine Heavens, it will only be a matter of time before we have an abundance of Spirit Lords and even Spirit King."

"Moreover, this isn’t something new, as such a system already exists within the Nine Heavens. Think about it. Spirit Kings are forbidden to exist within the Lower Heaven without special permission, and those who manage to reach Spirit King in the Lower Heaven are forced to ascend to the next realm, where it’s large enough to accommodate their prowess. This sort of rule exists for a good reason."

"If we don’t want Earth to be destroyed by insane people or by accident, we can only restrict everyone’s cultivation so that it becomes impossible to do so."

"And in the future, when we reconnect Earth with Nine Heavens, we can continue following their system, so anyone that wishes to increase their cultivation past the limit could continue doing so in the Nine Heavens."

"That sounds like a good plan." Bai Lianhua nodded.

"I can’t believe we’re making decisions that will affect the entire world in my room... and with just the three of us..." Yu Rou muttered in a dazed voice after coming to this realization.

Yuan chuckled, "The Cultivators’ Association and governments around the world have the same plan. We’re just going to make it more reliable and protect every inch of the world. Now it’s only a matter of who finishes first their devices or my study."
