Chapter 788: Chapter 443: The First Batch of Core Students
Adjacent to Yunhui, the Luofeng Great Domain, while inconspicuous under the shadow of the seven major nations, also boasts two super oases—Frostleaf City and the Watercolor Federation.
On the surface, Frostleaf City, aside from having a level 7 oasis, possesses 16 level 4 or above Great Oases; the Watercolor Federation is even stronger, with two level 7 super oases.
They fall short compared to the seven major nations, but their strength still surpasses that of the emerging super oases such as the City of Fallen Stars.
The emergence of the Torch Academy greatly impacted the ’two overlords’ of Luofeng, as they worried about the birth of a myth beyond their control and the emergence of a third or fourth super oasis, which would carve out more shares from the already scarce resources.
But before they could take any action, the two powers were stunned to find that they couldn’t afford to provoke the Torch Academy.
Since they couldn’t provoke the academy, they could only... only lie flat.
Long experienced in how to bare one’s belly under the dominance of the seven major nations to show no harm, every myth became adept at lying flat, and they immediately did... absolutely nothing.
When in doubt about what to do, delaying was never wrong.
The more one does, the more mistakes one makes; the less one does, the fewer mistakes one makes.
Moreover, the Torch Academy was too powerful, being at the level of the seven major nations. Whether to talk, fight, or otherwise with the academy, the seven major nations could handle it.
They need not worry; they just waited for the outcome.
Frostleaf City and the Watercolor Federation were very wary of the Torch Academy, but this issue wasn’t something that required immediate attention. Dragging it out for a few years or even decades wasn’t a big deal.
They could continue to lie low, but while lying low, a pressing matter emerged that forced them to bounce out of bed.
Terror blackened the firmament—Dark River overshadowed the sky!
At first, Frostleaf City and the Watercolor Federation didn’t pay much attention: wasn’t it just another Evil God catastrophe? It seemed terrifying, but in actuality, the epicenter of the disaster was in the central Ghastly Realm, a vast distance away from them. By the time its effects reached their Luofeng Domain, only a faint residue would remain. They thought it was nothing serious.
However, as time passed...
"City Lord, our various oases’ resource outputs have declined once again!"
"The monthly output of our royal city’s resource point has decreased by 8.5%, and for the Great Oases under the jurisdiction of our Frostleaf City outside, the resource output has decreased by up to 39%!"
The City Lord of Frostleaf listened to the report with an extremely grave expression.
The Heart of the Oasis in the royal city was the strongest, capable of generating the power of the world and offering considerable protection to the oasis itself. Yet even so, the output of the city’s resources visibly declined.
The resource output of the oases outside the royal city was drying up even more.
If it was just a temporary reduction, the City Lord of Frostleaf could accept it, but...
"What if this is a permanent reduction? What if the decline of the resource points becomes more and more severe? And..."
The disaster brought about by Dark River affected more than just that.
Mysterious Evil rampaged, vegetation withered, the vitality of life receded... These impacts were all gradually intensifying, and perhaps there were even more disasters brewing that they had yet to discover.
Thinking of this, the City Lord of Frostleaf began to feel a headache brewing.
He had always been a representative of the camp that favored lying low, but now he had to come up with a decision, and he just... just couldn’t seem to make one.
He looked towards the other two myths.
The Minister of Intelligence in charge of espionage and the Chief Strategist who assisted in managing the oasis.
"This disaster affects much more than just us; perhaps we should... just do as we have always done and learn from the strategies used by the seven major nations," he suggested.
Currently, their ’strategy against disaster’ at Frostleaf City was nothing more than copying the homework of their backer, Ancientwood Country.
The Chief Strategist shook his head, "The seven major nations aren’t gravely affected by the disaster, and they have the power to curb the decline in resource output. In other words, they have enough time to wait and then decide based on whether the influence of Dark River continues. But for us at Frostleaf City, the disaster is already an urgent matter. We... the City Lord must make a decision soon."
After a long silence, the City Lord of Frostleaf asked again, "What about the Torch Academy?"
The Minister of Intelligence shook his head, "The Torch Academy doesn’t have an oasis. They are holed up inside the Secret Realm, not affected even in the slightest by the disaster. Even if this catastrophe were ten or a hundred times stronger, to the point where the seven major nations can’t sit still, the Torch Academy... might still be able to continue staying in the Secret Realm, as stable as Mount Tai."
...
Indeed, the Torch Academy was relatively calm.
Shielded by the ruin’s coverage, several kilometers around it were not engulfed by the grey fog. The occasional attacks by Mysterious Evil or hordes of Mysterious Evils were also swiftly slain by the Light Energy Towers surrounding the academy’s gateway.
Inside the academy, it was even more peaceful with not a single ripple.
Some lone wolf students were immersed in their self-discipline, not interacting with others, not going out on missions—they weren’t even aware of the catastrophe happening outside.
This place was like an untouched paradise.
"But avoidance is futile, only by confronting the Mysterious Evil disaster can we find a resolution... Little Illusion, how’s the information and intelligence gathering coming along?"
"It’s still not much, but one thing is certain for now: this Dark River catastrophe won’t end quickly. It might last as long as the Evil God War over two years ago, continuing for quite a long time."
But unlike the early stages of the Evil God War, which only had intangible effects, there was now a visible calamity of the Evil God to be seen by simply looking up in numerous domains.
Even earlier, Citina had personally witnessed the brief collision of an Evil God catastrophe.
All these changes ominously signified that misfortune and disaster were drawing ever closer.
However, these were only macroscopic bits of information. To research the disaster, Torch needed to collect more details related to it. Sometimes, an insignificant detail might contain the invisible key.
