Upon dwelling on the thought for a bit longer did Derik realize how dumb he has been all this while. while the slaughter of the Hosu forces was going on, Derik sat on a pile of bodies as he pondered on the current state of the world.
He could tell he was still on the same planet that he was born into. He could feel that this is the place that was once known as the Aldemar continent and nothing much has changed. According to his knowledge on how this world works, a god vein destroys once it is drained of all its resources and mana is one of them. Enough mana to allow a normal man to cultivate till they reach the god realm. The problem with this is, if the mana of this world is drained completely, it simply means that the world should have crumbled by now but that hasn't happened.
"Interesting!" Derik muttered as he reached for the sky with his right hand and shut his eyes tight.
