Chapter 325: The Mana-Adapted Earth
The Transformation of Earth
Centuries had passed since Earth was first introduced to mana, and its evolution was nothing short of extraordinary. The once ordinary humans of Earth were now mana-adapted creatures, their bodies and minds transformed by generations of exposure to mana-rich environments. Every individual, from the humblest farmer to the most advanced scientist, possessed mana channels, enabling them to harness energy for everyday life and combat.
Mana became the cornerstone of all progress. Earth's cities shone with mana-based technologies, incorporating mana as a limitless energy source. Advanced mana reactors powered their infrastructure, enabling flying vehicles, self-sustaining cities, and interdimensional travel. From skyscrapers infused with mana stones to personal mana shields for safety, Earth's technological marvels surpassed even the creations of the Shadowkins in sophistication, though not in physical prowess.

The New Era of Hunters
With the spread of mana, every human on Earth became a hunter by default. The concept of awakened abilities evolved into a universal truth—every individual was born with a unique mana core, granting them powers and abilities tailored to their nature.
Dungeons and Sung Jin-Woo's Dimensional Towers became the proving grounds for Earth's people.
1. Dungeons:
Created by the Divine Triad to challenge Earth's hunters, dungeons were filled with monsters, treasures, and artifacts.
The monsters were designed to scale with the strength of the hunters, ensuring a continuous challenge.
2. Dimensional Towers:
Sung Jin-Woo's Dimensional Towers were immense structures that appeared across the planet.
Each tower was divided into countless floors, with increasing difficulty. Reaching the top of a tower was considered the ultimate achievement for any hunter.
Hunters formed guilds, alliances, and even civilizations centered around these towers, competing to conquer them.

Mana-Based Society
The integration of mana into daily life transformed Earth's culture and economy:
Education: Mana schools and academies replaced traditional education, focusing on martial skills, spellcasting, and mana manipulation.
Economy: Mana crystals became the universal currency, mined from dungeons and used for trade.
Healthcare: Diseases were eradicated as mana-healing techniques advanced.
Earth's people no longer feared natural disasters or energy shortages. Mana-based innovations allowed for the purification of water, creation of fertile lands, and even terraforming of hostile environments.

The Divine Triad's Observations
The Twelve Divine Beings, each wielding their All-Seeing Eyes, observed Earth's progress from their thrones in the Absolute Realm Universe. The sight of Earth's flourishing civilization brought satisfaction and pride to their divine hearts.
Ashborn, the Absolute Celestial Being, spoke:
"The seeds of mana we sowed have borne fruit. Earth has become a beacon of progress and resilience."
Sung Jin-Woo, the Shadow God, watched silently, his towering figure emanating calm authority. Despite his immense power, he found joy in the simple achievements of humanity.
Sung Su-Ho, the Dragon Monarch, added:
"Let them grow further. Their strength and ingenuity will be the shield that guards against future threats."

Earth's Visionary Hunters
The hunters of Earth, now categorized as Mana-Adaptive Humans, pushed the boundaries of what was possible. They ventured into other realms using interdimensional portals, bringing their technology and culture to the wider multiverse.
Earth's technological advancements and strategic minds earned the admiration of even the Shadowkins and Heavenly Soldiers. While they lacked the raw strength and agility of divine creations, their creativity and efficiency compensated.
The most talented hunters began forming alliances with the Divine Triad's troops, exploring Gladiator's Arenas, Eternal Battlefields, and even Sung Jin-Woo's Shadow Abyss for greater challenges.

The Goal Realized
The Divine Triad's vision was finally realized:
Earth was no longer a vulnerable world in need of protection.
Its people, now hunters, were self-sufficient and capable of defending their realm.
The presence of mana unified humanity, erasing borders and conflicts of old.
Sung Jin-Woo, seated on the throne of Umbra Citadel, spoke softly but with conviction:
"This is only the beginning. Earth's light will shine across the multiverse, a testament to what life can achieve when given the chance to thrive."
The Twelve Divine Beings smiled in unison, their satisfaction echoing through the Absolute Realm. For Earth, this was the dawn of a new era—one of boundless potential and eternal growth.
