Minister Bai's words earned nods of approval from most people in the conference room.
"But there's one more thing."
Seeing everyone nod, Minister Bai continued, "Since demons can form, we can't just focus on technological development."
"We must also balance it with cultivation!"
"Cultivation!"
This remark immediately sparked discussions among those in the conference room.
As people of Great Xia, everyone was familiar with cultivation.
But how exactly to cultivate...
No one could provide an answer to this.
"My suggestion is to use the spiritual energy resurgence as a starting point to re-establish various departments."
"For example, the Demon Management Bureau, the Spiritual Energy Bureau, the Warrior Corps!"
"In short, we must first stabilize the public's hearts and let them understand that as long as Great Xia is here, nothing will happen."
"Otherwise, who knows what greater chaos might erupt."
Minister Bai's concluding remarks once again earned countless nods.
Soon, with no objections from the vast majority,
A series of events concerning the spiritual energy resurgence proceeded in an orderly manner.
Online.
The official channels of Great Xia immediately disseminated this news.
The announcement on the official platform was simple, stating that, as netizens had speculated,
Humanity was indeed undergoing a spiritual energy resurgence.
Following this, the public was urged not to panic.
Beyond this, there was nothing else.
When countless netizens saw their suspicions confirmed, they were all extremely excited.
Concurrently, they reposted the official announcement to various platforms.
Upon its release, it attracted enthusiastic discussions from countless netizens.
"Wow, it's actually a spiritual energy resurgence, dammit, the world is about to undergo a huge change!"
"I just want to know, if spiritual energy is resurging, doesn't that mean we can cultivate immortality like in novels in the future??"
"I don't know about that, but I'm sure I'll become the number one invincible and awesome expert in the universe!"
"Hahaha, then I can also see Daidai grow into a giant dragon in my lifetime, dammit."
"Awesome, awesome, awesome!"
"The old woman hasn't started her livestream yet, she should be on the plane now."
"I really want to know what the old woman's expression will be when she finds out about the spiritual energy resurgence."
As numerous netizens engaged in discussion,
Night gradually descended.
However, many netizens felt no hint of sleepiness.
It wasn't until deep into the night that they finally fell asleep with joyful hearts.
However,
They never expected that.
In the silent night.
The entire world was undergoing subtle changes.
Fog! Dense fog!
A thick fog suddenly rose from the horizon.
Strangely, through the hazy mist, one could still see the crescent moon in the sky.
Obscured by the fog, the softly glowing crescent moon was incredibly bright, possessing an indescribable beauty.
Perhaps ordinary people saw it, but they didn't pay much attention to the fog.
After all, fog was a common sight to them.
Even though the fog was beautiful, most people simply took photos as mementos.
However,
They were unaware that beneath this dense fog,
Various animals were barking incessantly.
The plants on the ground seemed to have come alive,
Swaying their bodies with the mist. They seemed to have been injected with hormones, growing wildly and crazily.
Faintly visible, their bodies were tinged with a light mist.
It seemed as if this mist was fueling their growth.
This scene was not only appearing in their sight but also across Great Xia and even the entire world!
And at this moment,
The newly established Spiritual Energy Bureau was frantically busy because of this.
In the Kyoto Military Office.
Minister Bai, as the new head of the Spiritual Energy Bureau, was constantly answering phone calls.
"What, dense fog has appeared all over Great Xia?"
"And plants are growing wildly?"
"Someone felt power from the fog? What does that mean?"
After taking several calls, the veins on Minister Bai's forehead bulged.
He quickly opened the satellite map projected by Great Xia's satellites.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked, but upon seeing it, Minister Bai's brows furrowed deeply.
From the satellite map, the pale blue Earth was covered by a layer of white, making its original appearance completely indistinguishable.
And this white mass, if his guess was correct, was the dense fog that had suddenly appeared.
"What is going on?"
Minister Bai looked at everything before him, his expression full of shock.
Fog was just a natural weather phenomenon, wasn't it?
How could it affect satellite imaging?
He looked out the window with difficulty, and saw that the dense white fog now seemed to merge with the crescent moon in the sky.
Looking further, it was a vast expanse of white, as if falling into the clouds.
Looking further out the window, he could clearly see the weeds by the window growing at a visible rate.
In just a few minutes, they had grown by several inches.
Perhaps soon, the weeds would grow to half a meter tall.
"Crackle crackle~"
At this moment, a strange crackling sound suddenly emanated.
Turning his head, he saw that the computer screen suddenly filled with static.
"What's going on?"
"Is it broken?"
Minister Bai looked at the computer and immediately took out his phone to call for a repairman.
But to his surprise, his phone showed no signal when he took it out.
"Both of them broke down for no reason?"
As he murmured, Minister Bai suddenly thought of a possibility.
His expression drastically changed.
"Is this... atmospheric interference?"
He whispered to himself, and Minister Bai's face turned a bit pale.
Atmospheric interference might not have a significant impact on people sleeping soundly late at night.
But... for some people, this was a matter of utmost importance!
For example, airplanes that required ground guidance for landing, ports, etc.!
"This is bad!"
Minister Bai exclaimed and immediately ran out to ask some on-duty soldiers.
He wanted to know if his guess was correct.
Upon hearing Minister Bai's question, the soldier quickly checked his phone: "Minister Bai, my phone has a signal."
"A signal?"
'Crackle crackle!'
Before Minister Bai could ask anything further, another burst of static was heard.
Turning his head, he saw that the computer screen in the office had returned to normal.
"Strange."
And when he opened his phone again, it also had a signal.
"What is going on?" Minister Bai frowned, but was utterly baffled.
However,
Within the few seconds that Minister Bai's computer screen was out of commission,
A major accident occurred at Shen Province Airport!
A plane, halfway through its descent, was suddenly engulfed by dense fog. While urgently trying to contact ground control,
"CA1997 calling ground control."
"CA1997 calling ground control."
"CA1997 calling ground control."
Inside a Boeing 777-300 passenger plane,
"Ground... Control received."
"Ground... Control... Received!"
