A few days later.

The snow brought by the massive blizzard melted across Huaxia under the spiritual power of the Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators.

Roads have cleared, and it's possible to return home.

Thus, the billion people who had taken refuge in the famous mountains across Huaxia, gradually returned home under the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's arrangements.

According to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's subsequent statistics, despite their best efforts during this Ice Age catastrophe, the dead still numbered in the hundreds of millions.

Most were the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled.

During the disaster, the families of the deceased could not even cry, and after the disaster ended, they found it hard to even shed tears.

Afterward, to prevent the spread of disease from decomposing bodies as temperatures rose, cremation arrangements began across various regions, followed by simple burials without elaborate funerals.

According to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's estimates, Western countries, lacking Essence Qi Pills and unaware of the refuge spaces behind famous mountains, likely suffered deaths outnumbering half the population!

It was a super catastrophe!

Mu Jinyu felt genuine sadness over this, mournful of humanity's fragility.

However, he felt powerless, for even saving his own nation came at the cost of so many lives, leaving little effort available to save the entire world.

Yet, the sole piece of good news was that those who survived the heavy blizzard also benefited from the last moments of Spiritual Energy Revival, experiencing astonishing physical changes.

In Huaxia, over two-thirds of the population had attained Energy Transformation capabilities by the ninth day of the blizzard, while the remaining portion possessed Dark energy capabilities.

Some pregnant women gave birth to babies with Mingjin-level abilities after the events...

It seemed that from now on, there would be no ordinary people left.

People were about to embark on a path of cultivation and evolution.

Several more days passed.

Since ordinary people were essentially nonexistent, the process and speed of repairing local power stations, base stations, and water facilities accelerated tremendously, and within a few days, electricity, water, and internet started recovering across regions...

People began discussions online again, with varying topics each day.

Today, astonishment is found in roadside wild grass, some discovering that the grass gleams with vibrant green leaves and wafts of spiritual energy, significantly boosting the strength of a stray dog that ate it, sparking a trend of eating grass and leaves.

Tomorrow, it is discovered that crops in fields, miraculously spared from complete freezing during the blizzard, began to grow as the climate gradually recovers.

Moreover, the growth rate is so incredible that within a week or so of the blizzard's end, the crops matured fully, their golden stalks bending...

Crucially, consuming these crops as food also appeared to enhance one's strength to a certain extent.

Thus, specialists in botany began to study this phenomenon, and discovered that the internal structure of various crops such as rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, and sorghum underwent thorough transformations, containing a mysterious energy.

These were no longer the ordinary crops they once were, and could be termed as Spirit Plants.

Of course, it's unsuitable to refine medicine from rice and wheat, so the term Spirit Food might be more apt.

In this atmosphere of universal revival and burgeoning vitality, the negative impact brought by the massive blizzard, the heavy and unspoken sorrow burdening everyone's hearts after the death of loved ones, gradually began to dissipate.

Another week passed, and people finally moved past the shadow cast by the blizzard and resumed work, school, restoring previous social order.

Some individuals initially harbored thoughts of newfound strength, no longer being ordinary people, eager to act as they pleased...

However, after committing a few misdeeds, they quickly received a lesson from strengthened police arriving on notice.

Meanwhile, online, some fervently discussed the rapidly changing various matters, while some couldn't resist wielding heavy-handed comments in digital confrontations, feeling they were strong enough to break free from meek conduct offline...

So, they arranged to meet in reality for combat, akin to a Mount Hua contest or a duel atop the Forbidden City...

Of course, they're not free to enter Mount Hua or the Forbidden City anytime, so their chosen battlegrounds were merely ordinary squares.

Upon realizing these occurrences, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and Dragon King Hall deliberated, and some believed such events should not be allowed to occur, to prevent severe incidents resulting in deaths...

Some felt that with the different era, everyone held considerable strength, constantly suppressing their Essence Qi without an outlet might not be beneficial; like compressing a spring, the tighter the compression, until a possible final explosive outburst making things hardly containable.

After intense discussions, with increasing daily conflicts, the authorities ultimately decided to allow competitions provided they were reported and supervised to avert accidents.

Likewise, as Spiritual Energy Revival again surged, Huaxia officially entered an era of national martial cultivation. The Great Xia Martial Pavilion managed by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, due to strict recruitment, only accepted those meeting moral standards, thus inevitably generating several other martial arts schools.

These schools were some evolved from traditional martial arts schools, teaching classic martial arts like Tai Chi Fist, Eight Extremes Fist, Bagua Palm, Cailei Fut, Yongchun Palm, etc...

While some schools taught Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi, Lightning Five Consecutive Whip, etc...

Initially, these schools gave an impression of expertise, attracting many to enroll, but later, realizations of discrepancies caused challenges to the masters, resulting in masters being knocked out within three punches!

Soon, these schools couldn't operate anymore.

Henceforth, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow began rigorous oversight on these martial arts schools, not dictating exclusive existence of the Great Xia Martial Pavilion, but minimum requirements of Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation to establish a school at least.

At this moment, Western countries finally began restoring electricity and internet post-blizzard...

"What?!"

"Why has Huaxia managed to keep so many people alive?!"

"With countless deaths and injuries worldwide, indeterminable, why does Huaxia stand out?"

"The emergence of this blizzard must be Huaxia's conspiracy!"

Upon discovering Huaxia's situation, nations fumed yet feared rash actions.

Simultaneously, documents suddenly began circulating among Western nations.

Majority were focused on Xiang Mantang, accompanied by numerous images displaying Xiang Mantang commanding demons, spreading Ghastly Presence, cities decaying, inciting dark chaos...

These documents caused uproar and fury!

A minority least introduced Xiang Mantang, instead, introduced Mu Jinyu, further detailing Mu Jinyu and Xiang Mantang's relationship, and how Mu Jinyu helped conceal Xiang Mantang's crimes following the chaos...

Most critically, outlining how during the latest blizzard, Mu Jinyu guided his countrymen to shelter in the famous mountains, explaining why Huaxia managed to retain so many survivors!

Having read these documents, nations worldwide reacted in shock and commotion!
