Chapter 50: Casting the World Anchor

A week later.

Inside the small secret chamber.

Gunie's aura surged and then gradually subsided.

At this moment, Gunie's transcendent realm had reached the peak of the seventh rank.

The effect of this Luohai Source Fruit is truly astonishing.

In just a week, it allowed me to advance to the peak of the seventh rank. With steady idling, after fully digesting the fruit's energy, I can advance to the eighth rank.

Then, Gunie calmed his mind again.

He cast the Blood Source · Great Blood Heaven Dream Curse and entered the Blood Dream Arena of the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent.

After handing over one million four hundred forty thousand Holy Source Coins to Socrates, Gunie withdrew again.

Next, I need to return to the Star Observation Tower of the Oya Continent.

Gunie had left a star soul in the Star Observation Tower, making it convenient to return now.

Gunie moved his mind.

He began to use the star soul to transfer his physical body across the ultra-long-distance world.

After about an hour or so.

Gunie completed the transfer of his physical body from Holy Sea Gall to the Oya Continent.

…

Inside the dark and silent small secret chamber.

After the transfer, Gunie stood up and walked around to inspect.

Everything was exactly as when he left, with no changes.

Then, Gunie calmed his mind, released his World Essence, and sensed deep into this world.

As he sensed, Gunie could clearly perceive that the world's source power had declined slightly—very subtle, but it did not escape his meticulous observation.

Moreover…

Gunie sensed toward the extremely distant south.

Gurgle, gurgle…

A silent, drawing surge was taking place.

The massive formation extracting the world's origin was like a wound that could not heal, constantly bleeding. For a transcendent world, the world's origin is its blood, the root of life's operation.

As Gunie sensed, he could even hear the world's silent sobs and wails.

The entire world seemed to know that it was on an irreversible path sliding into the abyss of death.

With a flip of his hand, Gunie produced a World Anchor.

This World Anchor was different from an ordinary ship anchor.

The World Anchor was a huge, peculiar, illusory framework about two meters in diameter, resembling an icosahedron.

The icosahedron was only its outermost framework; the inner layers connected directly to the outer framework, ultimately forming a very stable world framework model.

When it sank into the world's origin,

the world's origin would pour into it and activate it, at which point the world's stability would increase severalfold.

Gunie gradually activated this world framework with his demon source power and World Essence.

After it was fully activated,

Gunie's consciousness began to communicate with the world's origin.

Great will of the Oya Origin, I am a child born from your origin. I clearly perceive your pain. Those evil gods are stealing your life and origin with vile means.

I have found from a distant world a source object that can help stabilize your world framework.

Great will of the Oya Origin…

Gunie began to call out again and again.

If Gunie were strong enough—say, at the divine level—he could easily communicate with the world's origin.

Even at the demigod level, communication would be relatively easy.

But Gunie was only at the seventh rank of transcendence.

For an ordinary seventh-rank transcendent, it would be impossible; don't even think about it.

Fortunately, Gunie possessed a profound World Essence. By spending more time calling out, he could still manage it.

Moreover, at this moment, the world's origin was in a state of being damaged. Gunie's call, which could offer help, should be able to attract the attention of the world's origin.

When Gunie made his fifth call,

subtly, the source power in his secret chamber rapidly thickened. Within seconds, the source power surged more than thirtyfold, becoming so dense it was suffocating.

A wisp of the world's origin's will had discovered Gunie.

Immediately, Gunie released his World Essence to converse with the world's origin's will.

Great Oya Origin, I know your pain, and I know what those evil gods are doing.

This is a treasure I found from another transcendent world that can help stabilize your origin. Absorb this treasure into your world's origin; it can greatly stabilize your origin, making it very difficult for them to extract your origin.

Moreover, this treasure is not just one; I have brought back three in total.

As he spoke, Gunie quickly produced the other two World Anchors and activated them with demon source power and World Essence.

The three World Anchors crowded the small secret chamber, nearly filling it up.

As Gunie activated them,

he saw extremely dense source power beginning to spontaneously permeate into them.

Normally, the will of the world's origin would not absorb things into the world's origin.

But at this moment, the world's origin was being extracted.

The will of the world's origin also wanted to save itself.

Since Gunie was offering help at this time, it would certainly try.

After about five or six minutes,

the dense source power had completely surged into the first world framework.

Buzz, buzz…

As a dense radiance bloomed,

the first world framework quickly disappeared.

Evidently, the will of the world's origin had sensed the effect of the World Anchor on it and thus absorbed it.

After waiting another two or three minutes,

the dense source power in the secret chamber surged again.

This time, the dense source power surged directly toward the second and third World Anchors.

After the source power had fully surged into them,

the two World Anchors also vanished with the white light.

Clearly, the will of the world's origin had recognized the World Anchors.

With the absorption of the World Anchors,

the will of the world's origin enveloped Gunie.

A faint will descended upon him.

My… child…

Thank… you… for… your… help…

My… will… will… be… with… you…

Then, the will of the world's origin slowly dissipated.

Huff…

Feeling the dissipation of the world's will, Gunie let out a long breath.

It's done.

He clenched his fist slightly and smiled.

These three World Anchors have been anchored deep in the world's origin.

They can basically reduce the loss of the world's origin to one-thirtieth of its current rate.

Thus, the withering period of three to five years will be postponed to at least a hundred years from now.

At the same time, the amount of world origin absorbed by those evil gods will also sharply decrease, and they will need more time to recover their combat power.

Overall, this absorption rate of one-thirtieth of the normal amount should be enough to discourage those evil gods. After all, absorbing such a small amount of origin is too time-consuming and simply not worth it.

However, whether those evil gods will retreat or not remains uncertain.

First, let me sense whether the extraction effect on the origin has weakened.

Then, Gunie calmed his mind, deployed his World Essence, and sensed toward the distant southern place where the world's origin was being extracted.
