Chapter 356 Dead Trees Reborn
Perhaps it is because humans are a kind of creature that, in the face of great disasters, inexplicably burst forth with a spirit and courage of tenacity, unity, and willingness to sacrifice.
Faced with the extreme threat that the world could collapse and all things perish at any moment, the survivors fulfilled Lan Xichen's and others' arrangements without reservation and even went beyond expectations.
Even if these measures are implemented and these novel and convenient things are promoted in a comprehensive manner, all of them are aimed at undermining the foundations of immortal families, mortal royal families, and wealthy nobles!
Even if it is fully implemented, a significant number of people will completely lose their previously proud privileged status!
Thus, above them were commanders who were strategic, resourceful, and decisive (such as Lan Xichen and Nie Huaisang); in the middle were Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and other talented individuals who provided wholehearted assistance; and below them were all the survivors who were obedient, cooperative, and often took the initiative in unconventional ways.
In just one year, the entire "Liqi" miraculously reversed the one-sided bad situation and gradually reached a stalemate with the resentment outside the barrier!
Thus, the entire world of demonic cultivation became a fragmented and bizarre scene—
Three-quarters of the world is covered by thick, dripping ink of resentment, devoid of human habitation and life, filled only with various grotesque corpses, vengeful ghosts, and skeletons—all symbols of death.
The remaining quarter of the area is exceptionally vibrant, with a fresh and new look everywhere!
If you didn't see the area filled with resentment, you might think that an unprecedented golden age had arrived ahead of schedule!
The development of "Liqi" is booming, and the resistance force exerted by the united efforts of the people is also growing stronger day by day.
Although the power and number of evil spirits such as fierce corpses and vengeful ghosts corrupted by resentment in the resentment-stricken area are also increasing day by day, the rapidly developing and ever-changing "Liqi" has completely withstood the fierce attacks of resentment and evil spirits day and night.
Even to some extent, when Wei Wuxian or other talented individuals occasionally have a burst of inspiration, under the extreme amplification of the gushing new inventions and creations, "Li Qi" can still turn the tide and push the defense line a long distance towards the area overrun by resentment!
Although there is a 99% chance that control will be regained once the amplification of the inspiration burst subsides!
However, the survivors can still retain the remaining one percent without having it taken away!
Although each achievement was small, they accumulated over time, and the area of "Liqi" was slowly spreading outwards at a snail's pace!
The continuous battles, the pervasive pressure, and the favorable yet intense development environment spurred the emergence of talented individuals among the survivors, who sprang up like mushrooms after rain, creating a vast and abundant pool of talent!
The constant emergence of talented individuals further boosted morale and increased the probability of victory, further tilting the scales of victory towards Wei Wuxian and his group... This cycle repeated itself, forming a perfectly positive feedback loop!
As a result, the stalemate lasted for more than five years, a stark contrast to the initial situation, which was as fragile as a piece of paper and could collapse at any moment!
Unfortunately, no matter how good the situation is, it cannot overcome the objective fact that "even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice"!
"Liqi" is only a quarter of the original world's area, with limited resources, and is overcrowded with life.
The various resources needed for the daily survival of living beings, the enormous resources consumed by human cultivation and research, the massive resources required for the defensive barrier to be kept open around the clock, and the logistical supplies needed to fight against evil spirits and resentment...
Comparing the two totals, it's clear that "spending is not enough"!
Moreover, many of the most critical resources are non-renewable!
Five years later, when the situation remained deadlocked, Lan Xichen, Nie Huaisang, and others who controlled the allocation of resources realized with horror and despair that the resources within "Liqi" were on the verge of depletion!
Once resources become scarce, the delicate balance that Wei Wuxian and others are currently struggling to maintain will instantly collapse, causing the situation to deteriorate rapidly!
The situation is extremely dire, but faced with these objective factors related to resources, even with Lan Xichen's superb methods, Nie Huaisang's exceptional wisdom, and Wei Wuxian's boundless creative talent, they are all helpless and powerless!
