CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 151: AFTER ALL, IN SUSU’S EYES, HE IS THE STRONGEST MAN!

Upon hearing this, Witch Doctor Gu He immediately suppressed the anger in his heart.

Leave?

Not a chance.

The Child of Qi Luck is right beside him, and he has acquired all his treasures. Leaving now would be a huge loss.

So he immediately said to Li Cang with a smile, "It’s fine, I’m used to staying here. This place will do."

He definitely wouldn’t leave; he was determined to cling to the Child of Qi Luck!

Seeing Witch Doctor Gu He’s refusal to leave, Li Cang could only say, "Alright, I’ll go get some bedding and mattress for you now. By the way, the rules in the Eastern Palace are strict. Without the Crown Prince’s permission, you absolutely must not wander into the front courtyard."

"I understand," Witch Doctor Gu He promptly replied.

"Okay." Li Cang gave him a glance and then turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Witch Doctor Gu He’s face fell.

He had no choice but to enter the dusty woodshed.

With a frown, he sat on a relatively clean bed and stubbornly attempted to operate the Nine Yin Manual in hopes of absorbing Star Power.

The result delighted him greatly; this world... still contained Star Power.

Although compared to the past, this faint trace of Star Power was practically nonexistent.

Yet, no matter how small mosquito legs are, they’re still meat. With enough accumulation, he could still absorb some.

All of a sudden, Witch Doctor Gu He felt hopeful for his future once again.

...

At this moment, Bai Susu gently stroked the basketball-sized testing sphere in front of her and said to Feng Qiwu, "Shu Kuang, what do you think?"

"If what that guy said is true, the history of the Xuanhuang Continent should be completely overturned, and perhaps there was an unknown past before our recorded history." Feng Qiwu said gravely.

Bai Susu nodded and squinted, "Yes, according to his words, the Xuanhuang Continent used to be a world primarily focused on cultivation, but for some reason, Star Power suddenly depleted. And now... the long-lost Star Power seems to be gradually recovering."

In modern novels, this would be called Spiritual Energy Revival!

She remembered a period when novels of Spiritual Energy Revival were very popular, with numerous novel websites filled with stories about the revival of spiritual energy on Earth.

Back then, some netizens had captured videos during thunderstorms that seemed to show shadows in mid-air, which led to wild speculation that cultivators were undergoing tribulations, sparking online jokes about whether the Spiritual Energy Revival era was truly approaching.

However, the trends in online literature change quickly, so after a while, this type of novel wasn’t popular anymore.

As for the alleged cultivators triggering thunder, it was naturally debunked.

However, if she remembered correctly, the original author... seemed to start this piece during the height of the Spiritual Energy Revival trend.

As she thought about this, Bai Susu’s eyes widened suddenly.

She remembered.

In the content tags of that rebirth novel, the last tag was indeed chosen as Spiritual Energy Revival; she saw it while browsing pirated content online.

It’s known that pirated texts usually copy the most original content of a book, and even if the official text changes afterwards, pirated texts won’t update the follow-up.

So, that rebirth novel was very likely intended by the author to be part of the Spiritual Energy Revival flow, but later chose to abandon it for unknown reasons.

If that’s the case, if the author plans to write directly several million words, then the follow-up... is highly likely to develop according to the Spiritual Energy Revival flow.

Only in this way could the author continue writing the story after Feng Wuchen ascends to the throne, extending it by millions or even tens of millions of words.

And if her guess is correct...

Then the specific time for the revival of spiritual energy in this world should be three years later!

Because in both the original text’s past life and the present life, all stories stop three years later.

Feng Qiwu’s sudden death in three years could very well be due to the sudden restoration of overly rich Star Power, causing his body to collapse after absorbing too much.

Thinking of this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but grip Feng Qiwu’s arm tightly.

...

Being suddenly gripped tightly by Bai Susu, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but be taken aback, "Susu, what’s wrong?"

Bai Susu then snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and said to Feng Qiwu, "Shu Kuang, didn’t you mention earlier that the environment within Da Qin is undergoing major changes?"

"Yes." Feng Qiwu nodded.

At this moment, Bai Susu looked up at him and said seriously, "Then, in connection with Witch Doctor Gu He’s words, have you considered the possibility?"

"What?" Seeing her serious expression, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but reach out to smooth the stray hair near her ear.

"Star Power Revival!" Bai Susu said.

"According to Witch Doctor Gu He, Star Power existed on the Xuanhuang Continent a long time ago, and there were many cultivators at that time, but now we know nothing about those past events."

"But now you can automatically absorb Star Power, which indicates that the Star Power in this world is slowly recovering."

"Perhaps one day, we’ll return to the kind of world Witch Doctor Gu He experienced before," Bai Susu suggested.

Feng Qiwu pondered Bai Susu’s words briefly before nodding, "You might be right. However, I am more inclined to believe that Star Power has never completely disappeared, just became extremely weak; otherwise, how do those Secret Families justify their attitude of being above royal power?"

"They must feel they have something to rely on, that’s why they look down on us," Feng Qiwu said solemnly.

Perhaps these people don’t understand what Star Power is or how to cultivate it.

But those in the Secret Families must know.

Hearing Feng Qiwu’s words, Bai Susu froze for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You’re right; your explanation makes more sense."

"Regardless of what the truth is, at least now we know some things, and it’s not too late to start preparing from now on."

"In this way, no matter what changes occur in the future, we will be fully prepared to respond," Feng Qiwu said.

"Yes, you’re right," Bai Susu immediately felt reassured.

No matter what happens in the future, as long as Feng Qiwu is here, she can rest easy, at least by ninety-nine percent.

After all, he is the only villain in the tale who can destroy himself.

Seeing Bai Susu full of trust in him, Feng Qiwu felt instantly refreshed and more determined, resolved not to let Susu down.

After all, in Susu’s eyes, he was the strongest and most reliable man in the world!

The last autumn hunt he had already lost face due to psychological shadows, and he was determined not to let the same situation happen twice.

Otherwise, where would his dignity be?

For Susu, he must become the strongest in the Xuanhuang Continent and not allow anyone the chance to bully her.
