Sometimes he delved deep into the energy core at the base of the tower, sometimes he lingered in the smoke exhaust vent at the top of the tower, and even carefully analyzed the data on the retention of spiritual energy at several points of the pipe.
Every step was checked by the old man’s divine sense, just as a fisherman checks the strength of every knot in his fishing net.
Finally, the divine sense slowly disappeared, and the old man closed the scroll in his hand. His wrinkled face showed no obvious change in expression, only a slight nod.
He said calmly to the two people behind him, “The nuclear energy collection system is operating normally, and the energy reserve data is basically consistent with what Haoyang reported.”
It seemed that Hao Ling was right; it was indeed only spatial storms that caused damage, and there were no other anomalies in this realm.
The two inspectors behind him also checked the data with their divine senses and nodded in agreement: “It is indeed true. The data is very consistent with the normal fluctuations recorded in the sect archives, and there are no traces of human interference or sabotage.”
The old man said no more, raised his hand and waved it, and the golden aperture opened again.
The three figures disappeared into it, and the golden gap quickly closed. The great heavenly power disappeared, as if it had never existed. Only a very faint trace of divine power remained in the air, which was quickly eroded by the wind.
David, inside the illusion array, slowly opened his purple eyes. A thin layer of sweat seeped from his palms, but his face remained calm like still water.
After sensing that the golden gap had closed completely, he exhaled a stale breath gently. His gray robe fluttered gently in the wind, and the array patterns around him disappeared into the depths of the earth.
They managed to trick me.
Three days and three nights of non-stop planning and focused control resulted in the judgment of the elders of the Haotian Divine Clan: “No abnormalities were found.”
The crisis in Ashes Land has been successfully resolved for the time being.
David stood up, his figure swayed slightly, and he appeared on the city wall outside the core city.
The streets below were quiet. All the residents of Jintu remained in their homes quietly as Gugen had ordered, not even turning on a single light. The whole city was quiet like an empty city.
Until David’s divine sense spread throughout the city like ripples in water: “You can come out now. They’re gone.”
A moment later, the core city gates slowly opened. Gu Gen was the first to peek through the gate. His misty old eyes looked around and, after confirming that there was no more golden light or pressure in the sky, he let out a sigh of relief.
Soon after, doors and windows opened one after another, and countless humans from the Land of Ashes cautiously stepped out of their houses, looking up at the sunlit sky, their faces filled with relief and lingering fear as if they had survived a disaster.
Gu Gen walked over to David, his bent body trembling slightly, his voice choked with sobs: “Master are they gone? They are really gone? We are we okay?”
David nodded, a faint warmth flashing in his purple eyes: “It’s okay. What they saw was fake; the real Ash is still here.”
Gu Gen was no longer able to hold back his tears, repeatedly bowed and mumbled incoherently, but he was unable to utter a complete sentence.
Although the Earth Ash mortals behind him did not cheer, they all silently and simultaneously bowed deeply to the gray-robed figure on the city wall, like a vast field of wheat waving neatly in the wind.
No one spoke, but the silent gratitude and reverence was more profound and sincere than any noise.
David didn’t linger.
He glanced once again at the land that had survived the disaster, his purple eyes emitting an indescribable light, before his figure soared into the sky.
Turning into a purplish-gray beam of light, it once again disappeared into layers of chaotic blackish-gray mist, speeding towards the direction of Twenty-second Heaven.
