Just as Luo Kai was immersed in this extremely comfortable state of mind, the sky suddenly became colorful. Streams of light flashed like ribbons, and his skin began to itch unbearably. It was as if a kind of powerful energy was seeping into his body. It was exactly the same as when he was near the Azure Dragon's skull. The deepest layer of his cells became more resilient and more energetic under this energy.
The only difference was that the radiation emitted by the Azure Dragon's skull could at most cover a range of a hundred meters, but this powerful energy completely enveloped the entire world.
The sound of seabirds chirping could be heard in his ears. Countless seabirds danced in the sky, and countless fish in the sea swam to the surface of the water. Even the shrimps and crabs were scrambling to swim out of their holes. Even the plants on the coast were swaying despite the absence of wind. They were all bathing in this energy.
Luo Kai thought of something. The colorful ribbons in the sky should be a kind of aurora. However, he was in a subtropical region, so how could there be auroras?
Scientists in his previous life were also clueless as to how auroras were produced. The more common explanation was that they were produced by the collision between the magnetic field of the Earth's poles and cosmic particle energy. Under normal circumstances, only the high-energy particles emitted by the sun would collide with the Earth. Since the magnetic field of the Earth was mainly concentrated at the poles, only the poles would have auroras. But now, auroras had appeared in the central region. Without a doubt, an enormous amount of cosmic energy was sweeping across the Earth.
He hurriedly relaxed his cell tissues and extended his spiritual consciousness, gathering the surrounding radiation energy and absorbing it into his body. Unfortunately, this cosmic energy was very short-lived, lasting less than a minute. It could be said that it was gone in the blink of an eye. As the colorful aurora in the sky gradually faded, everything returned to normal. The birds began to return to their nests, the fish dived into the sea, and the plants stopped shaking.
Luo Kai somewhat regretfully withdrew his consciousness. This cosmic energy should belong to the light energy, which could also be called radiation energy. Solitary Yin did not grow, and solitary Yang did not grow. It was because of the existence of radiation energy that life could survive and reproduce.
Most radiation energy was relatively violent. Once there was too much of it, it would damage the deepest layer of cells. However, this cosmic energy was extremely gentle. It could increase the activity of cells and even change the structure of matter. Luo Kai could already feel that the water molecules in the sea had become denser. Even the Severing Blade in his hand seemed to have become heavier and smaller. At the same time, it was buzzing excitedly. It seemed to have become more intelligent.
In the countless years since the emergence of life on Earth, there had been several species outbreaks. Humans did not know the reason for the outbreaks, but now it seemed that it was most likely due to the influence of high-intensity cosmic radiation. Earth was like a sponge, absorbing a large amount of cosmic radiation and converting it into various types of energy, which was then slowly released over the years. That was why the species outbreaks that lasted for tens of thousands or even millions of years had occurred.
Looking at the corpses around him, Gao Zan, the commander of the Dragon Shark Pirates, had been killed by him with a single slash. The water shield formed by the water essence did not have much defensive power. With Gao Zan's death, the water essence disappeared from the world.
The only one who was still breathing on the ground was Gao Fei. This guy's internal organs had been shattered by the water thunder. Even if he did not kill him, he would not live for long.
Like the final radiance of the setting sun before death, Gao Fei woke up. He looked at the corpses around him blankly. Then he saw Luo Kai. His eyes were frightened at first, but then he relaxed. He smiled bitterly and said, "I knew I would definitely meet you when I set foot on the land. I just didn't expect it to be so soon."
Luo Kai said expressionlessly, "Be an ordinary person in your next life."
Gao Fei said hysterically, "Bullsh * t. A person should be a superior person. I have enjoyed enough in this life. I have no regrets when I die."
"Whether you have regrets or not, you know it clearly in your heart." Luo Kai replied indifferently and turned to leave.
Gao Fei looked at Luo Kai's back, and his mouth kept swearing until he spat out another mouthful of blood. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he completely lost his breath.
Luo Kai stood on the hill and looked at the ruins of the small fishing village not far away. At the beginning, the Jiu Yuan farmhouse killed the fishermen in order to smuggle food to the pirates here. Now the culprits are all dead here. Is there really cause and effect?
On the way back, he found that the surrounding weeds grew a little taller. Not only the weeds, but the fruit trees in the fruit forest were also more dense. Although the energy of the universe was short, the animals and plants had gained great benefits.
Zi Lan at the door grew an inch taller. She noticed the arrival of Luo Kai and waved her branches to convey the frequency of joy to him.
… …
Higashimogami Province, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, several old men in fine clothes also looked regretfully at the aurora fading away. One of them, an old man with a long white beard, said worriedly: "Cosmic energy will certainly bring great benefits to life, but it is more harmful than beneficial to our human beings."
"Yes, the energy released by the aurora just now is extremely huge. The evolution of species will speed up again. It is estimated that many ferocious beasts will be born."
Another horse-faced old man sighed: "Alas, this year is really eventful. The north is attacked by extreme cold, and the south is inexplicably high temperature. If it goes on like this, I am afraid that the ferocious beasts will move again."
"Master Yun, do you think it was done by extraterrestrial creatures? I heard that there was an evil spirit resonating in the southern Seongma Province. A physique master of the Body Arts Association was attacked by extraterrestrial creatures when he went to catch it. He also fell for it."
The white-bearded old man shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just came back from traveling around the country. Although there are small disasters in the countries, there are no big ones. At present, there is no sign that extraterrestrial creatures are playing tricks. It is not like people or ferocious beasts are doing it. I have asked the chairman of the Elementalist Association to come to the capital to discuss.
… …
The effect of the aurora last night was much greater than what Luo Kai had expected. When he woke up in the morning, he found that the surrounding sand and stones were green. The soil here was very saline and alkali, and no one took care of it all year round. It was impossible for plants to grow here, but now it was extremely vigorous.
There was a faint premonition in his heart. If it was in his previous life, it would be a good thing if the vitality of animals and plants increased, but now it was not. Plants were not a threat to the safety of humans, but animals were different, especially when there was the existence of ferocious beasts. The powerful energy last night had obviously greatly increased the vitality of cells, which meant that the resilience of life was stronger, and the probability of evolution in response to changes in the outside world was higher.
After eating something, he went to the orchard. As expected, all the fruit trees had grown a lot. What was strange was that many of the fruits that were still green had fallen to the ground. In the whole orchard, only a few apples were still hanging on the branches, and they were all ripe.
He felt a little strange. All life was for survival and reproduction, but now the plants seemed to have given up reproduction and focused on survival, or focused on the possibility of evolution. After the baptism of energy last night, they all had the possibility of evolution.
He did not know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. He casually picked a bright red apple. It was sweet and refreshing. He had never eaten such a delicious apple in his two lives!
