Around 200 kilometers east of the Philippines lay the source of the incredible energy that flew into the sky.

The energy stopped shooting into the sky a few minutes later, but the remnant light still shined brightly on the horizon even during daytime.

Ning and the rest flew toward the light, not knowing what it was just yet. Ning was apprehensive about the situation, so he went there alone before anyone could.

He looked at the island that seemed to have formed out of nowhere and a small hole a the center where the intense energy was flowing out. The energy was so high and so dense that it looked as if it was liquid.𝗈𝐯𝐥xt.𝓬𝒪𝚖

“That’s Qi?” he realized a second later and got closer to inspect it. He already had a clue as to what it was, but he couldn’t believe it at all.

“An Origin formed on Earth too!” he thought. “Now we won’t have to worry about running out of Qi.”

His worries faded away as a smile formed on his face. This was the best piece of news he could get right now.

Ely had been very worried about their child right now as the child was taking an extraordinarily long time to be born, and with the constant lights in the sky that should not be present, they were getting more and more anxious.

However, this was one piece of good news in what felt like years.

He went down to check how good the Qi was and was immediately surprised to find that the Qi flowing out of the Origin was very strong.

It was so strong that it was filling up Ning’s sea of Qi which hadn’t filled up since he came out of the other universe.

Ever since he had left the dwarf universe with the single sun, his cultivation base had been too strong for the Qi of this world, so even the best Qi that filled his sea of QI felt very weak.

However, currently, the Qi felt very strong, to the point that it could rival the Qi from the other universe.

“Wait, so this is better than our previous universe’s Qi,” Ning thought. He had already reached the peak of what could be possible with the current level of Qi, but his friends and families still had a long way to go.

“What realm will they even reach?” he wondered to himself. The immortal God realm was the peak of what was possible in their original universe, but this was better than that. So, in a sense, this was a completely new system.

“I can’t really judge just yet,” he thought. “I will have to see how this Qi interacts with the normal people before being able to tell anything. I should give them names based on what the Qi does.”

For now, he didn’t need to think anymore. All he would have to do was keep away any drones or humans that would fly around this area and let this develop properly.

“Right, I should have them absorb this energy right now,” he thought and called Ely and the rest who were waiting for him to say something not far away.

“It’s an Origin,” Ning explained. “Like the one in Kumia and Gionia. Come.”

Ely, Night, and Blue arrived together and landed on the uneven, rocky ground as they slowly walked toward the center.

Night looked around curiously at the island that didn’t look like it was destroyed recently, but from his understanding, islands usually had beaches or cliffs surrounding them. This one was just a hard surface with no tree or plant life that simply sank into the ocean on the edges.

“Is this an island?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“Newly formed I believe,” Ning said. “The energy probably created it while it escaped from the other verse.”

“The… other verse?” Ely asked.

“I don’t know how to explain it since the system was never really clear about it either, but the energy in any universe comes from another… universe or dimension, which the crack inside this small hole leads to,” he said.

“Well, I don’t think the explanation is as important as the thing itself,” Ely said. She quickly brought out something from her storage and threw it into the sky.

The artifact quickly opened to form a massive dome around the island that completely concealed it.

“It should stop unwanted visitors from gaining access to this place,” she said before looking at Ning. “We do want to stop people from coming here, don’t we?”

“It is a little selfish if you ask me, but why the heck not?” he asked. “We’ve earned it I think.”

“Good, I’ll make it so you three and easily come and go from this place. Then I’ll have to implement it so that the rest of us that are not here can do so as well,” he said.

“Alright, I will call Hi-Ah and Jung-Hee right now,” Ning said. “I should explain to them what this is all about.”

“Okay, I will call my brother to come here,” Ely said.

The both of them released their divine sense to reach where their relatives were, but Ely’s sense stopped moving before Ning’s.

“Honey…” she slowly called him.

Ning reached Hi-Ah and Jung-Hee and called them over. Then, he finally responded to Ely. “Hmm? What is it?” he asked.

“Origin, there can only be one per planet right?” she asked.

“That’s right,” Ning said.

“Then what’s that?” she asked.

Ning, Night, and Blue all released their senses at the same time, focusing on the direction where Ely was currently looking at.

Past the Pacific ocean, they reached the continent of America, and past that, near the Bermuda Triangle, they saw the same thing Ely did.

On a small island that seemed to exist there beforehand, a small pond had appeared out of nowhere with the light still faintly shining.

People were already on their way to that location, but even without going there, Ning could tell what it was.

But how could it be?

“How the hell is there another Origin?”
