End of civilization

As he was contemplating his thoughts, a doubt surged as he explored the whole planet with his divine sense, he wanted to know what made this planet different from the hundreds of planets he had visited in the Azure Galaxy where every planet could cultivate, however, this planet beside Chinese fantasy cultivation did not exist.

As he spent an unknown amount of time Tian Long's face changed from curiosity to deep thought, then to a frown, then to surprise, then to disbelief, such that without noticing he spoke aloud: "Amazing, no wonder there is no Qi in the world the world root of the planet is nearly dead, all Qi produced by it root is entirely used to sustain itself, this caused the halt of the growth of the world that is why is so tiny compared with planets in the Azure Galaxy, furthermore with the intervention of humankind the world root has continued to deteriorate, if it continues like this the root will perish in the next ten thousand years, but the most incredible thing is the sheer talent of the inhabitants of this world," said Tain Long before marveling at the mortals in planet earth.

In the Azure galaxy, it was common knowledge that you may find one person with a low spiritual root for every one hundred people, one medium spiritual root for every thousand people with low spiritual roots, one high spiritual root for every ten thousand medium spiritual roots, one supreme spiritual root for every one hundred thousand people with high spiritual roots, one holy spiritual root for every million of people with supreme spiritual roots and finally a divine spiritual root the greatest of them all could be found in one of every ten million holy spiritual roots, Tian Long knew that in the entire Azure Galaxy that encompassed thousands of planets there were less than five hundred cultivators with a divine spiritual root, those cultivators were distributed among those planets with each planet holding only five such frightening talents, even then each planet had required the passage of thousands of years for a spiritual root to be born and be allowed to mature."

Yet on this planet, with its world root damaged Tian Long found over one thousand humans with a divine spiritual root, he always thought he was a heaven-defying talent and he was, but in the Azure Galaxy, here his talents were rare but not at the extend that he was used to.

Not only were the spiritual roots here superior, but Tian Long also found that many humans had unique constitutions. The most precious ones, Tian Long concluded, were nine constitutions belonging to nine different bloodlines around the world.

This only brought many questions to Tian Long, why the world's root had been damaged? He could at least feel the damage to the world's root had been intentional, why there were so many talented humans in this damaged world impeded to transcend their mortal limitations? how strong were the people that had condemned such talents, many more questions raised in his thoughts but he had no answer to any of them.

"One thing is for certain, I returned to the past before the Heaven devouring sect became known, if I were to repair this world root and help the inhabitants of this planet to cultivate the Heaven devouring sect would stand no chance, not only that but this planet would become the strongest in several galaxies, giving them a helping hand would not be a bad investment in the long run" thought Tian Long.

A look of determination appeared on Tian Long, he continued to recover his Qi for a few days, once he was in adequate condition and with renewed energy he disappeared from where he sat and appeared at the center of the earth's core, there in front of him a teen foot blue tree stood, the tree appeared to be in autumn season as its branches only held a few light blue colored leaves, the bark of the tree could be seen with its blue hue ever so slowly dying, this was the world root, Tian Long stood there a few moments before taking out from his interspatial ring several heavenly plants and leave them at the root of the world root, which immediately began to envelop the plants in order to absorb their energy, at the same time Tian Long placed one hand on the trunk of the tree before infusing massive quantities of life energy and heavenly Qi.

He didn't wait for the tree to finish absorbing all the energy provided instead he once again disappeared and appeared outside the planet, with a wave of his hand every human was gone from the planet and a small white cube appeared on his hand, all the humans had been moved to that small cube and were in a state of hibernation where time did not pass, Tian Long knew that repairing the world root and hastening its grow would bring many changes to the surface, terrain, atmosphere, the size of the planet, most of these mortals would likely die before those changes, Tian Long once again disappeared, he reappeared way behind the moon as this celestial body would also suffer changes because of the changes taking place on planet earth, once there Tian Long simple seated to meditate and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, the earth rapidly increased its size, the land mass increased, earthquakes took place, volcanoes were erupting, new mountain ranges formed, Qi seeped out from the world root into the world transforming vegetation and animal alike, and the world continued to change for the next year, once the world root finished changing the planted Tian Long opened his eyes, after some inspection to the planet with his divine sense he felt satisfied, the planted had increased its size at least forty times, whereas before oceans and seas occupied around eighty percent of the planet now they only occupied around forty percent, in the landmasses, there was an abundance of lakes and rivers, even in the desserts there were several oases, the forest, and meadows and mountain ranges were the most abundant scenario by far, Tian Long saw some places that with time would become High density Qi environments.

The signs of humans ever living on the planet, like cities, villages, technology smitten by the planet into nothingness.
