The quantity is very small... but this was expected by Bai.
The Demon Realm Origin Power infused into this origin pool must be dispersed; it could not gather into a mass again. In other words, the Demon Realm Origin Power that Bai sought was scattered, and he could only absorb it little by little with the gourd in his hand until he accumulated enough to reshape the world.
However, the worst-case scenario did not happen— the Demon Realm Origin Power of the Immortal Heroic World still existed, proving that the world will of the Immortal Heroic World had not been subverted by the spirit of the demon lord.
The abilities of the spirit of the demon lord were unknown to the immortal emperor and Bai alike. In other words, the chances of success for this plan from the very beginning were only half, yet by sheer coincidence, Bai managed to reach the final step.
One could only say that the goddess of luck had lifted the skirt of the Immortal Heroic World...
About an hour later, with no more origin power drifting out, Bai gently shook the gourd in his hand, disappointment evident in his eyes.
The origin power of different worlds can be assimilated, but this process is very slow. The Immortal Heroic World had been destroyed for far too long. If the amount of Immortal Heroic World Origin Power extracted by the demonic clan was 100, then the amount infused into the origin pool was 80, while what remained now, which had not yet been assimilated into the Demon Realm Origin Power and still maintained the nature of the Immortal Heroic World, might only be 5...
A minuscule number. This meant Bai's workload became extremely large, but that was unimportant. The place was calm and peaceful, with no danger. Even if there were, Wen Yu was not far away, and Bai had plenty of time.
The compass in his hand began to spin again, and in no time, it pointed out the next direction for Bai. Thus, the previous scene played out once more.
He was like a diligent ant, continuously transporting the elements he needed, ultimately forging a magnificent wonder...
...
The Faceless followed Bai, utterly bored, watching as Bai busied himself. The Bai before him was filled with hope and aspiration; even each time he absorbed a tiny bit of origin power, he would reveal a heartfelt smile.
Perhaps this is what dreams are... and now, the dream was about to become reality.
For reasons unknown, Faceless felt a fleeting stir inside. As a creation of humanity, he did not understand Bai’s feelings toward the Immortal Heroic World, yet such emotions did not require understanding. He simply watched and found himself touched by the hope that subtly leaked out.
Voices of inquiry from Wen Yu echoed in his mind, asking Bai if there were any unusual movements. Faceless responded with a no—this question and answer had occurred many times before.
Three days later, Wen Yu followed the mental imprint of Faceless to find Bai. By this time, the gourd in Bai's hand had only filled to one-tenth.
...
Wen Yu’s research yielded no results— the origin power here could not be absorbed on a large scale because, at the depths of the origin pool, there existed a grand will.
That was the demon lord, the consciousness of the Demon Realm, the brain of the Demon Realm. However, this consciousness seemed to be in a deep slumber; although grand and vast, it had no self-awareness. It seemed not to notice Wen Yu and Bai, two tiny insects, and Wen Yu had no way to provoke its nerves.
Everyone was living in peace; it couldn’t be better.
Thus, the idea of using the origin power here to enhance racial talents became a bubble, and during deeper research, Wen Yu discovered that although this place seemed unguarded, the true situation was not as it appeared.
A vast amount of origin power formed an unbreakable defense— the origin pool, equivalent to the heart of the Demon Realm. However, as Wen Yu and Bai journeyed through, apart from the guardians and chaotic energy currents, there were no other defenders. Wen Yu personally believed that if the origin pool were blown up, the Demon Realm would collapse and disintegrate, but this was something that only extraordinary beings could achieve.
