Following the conclusion of Ding Yun's press conference, not only were many people, corporations, and relevant national institutions within the country busy, but many foreign governments also sprang into action, rushing to import spiritual creatures and decipher cultivation techniques.
In the context of the planet village.
Many matters were difficult to conceal.
Fortunately, Ding Yun did not need to handle these directly; the nation would naturally step in to assist. She would receive a portion of the benefits gained, and everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
For instance, Yang-attribute spiritual plants began to be cultivated in large quantities, gradually replacing original crops and appearing in vast farmlands.
For instance, various formations started to emerge, progressively conquering and eliminating certain anomalous zones, while simultaneously deriving spiritual energy, dispelling Yin energy, and spreading Yang soil.
For instance, Qi Refining Martial Arts Academies began to be established.
And recruitment was conducted on a large scale.
Many people claimed they wouldn't cultivate and would rely on others for protection, but in practice, they ultimately chose to cultivate. At most, they were half-hearted, practicing sporadically, lacking diligence.
Moreover, most people’s cultivation speed was indeed not fast.
However, this was unavoidable. After all, most people could not cultivate full-time. They still had to attend regular classes and manage household chores; otherwise, how would they eat and drink? They hadn't truly reached a state of living on air and dew. Squeezing out only a few hours a day for cultivation, it was no wonder their progress was slow.
As it stood, only those with wealth and leisure, such as soldiers entirely supported by the state for dedicated cultivation, and students enrolled in relevant cultivation academies,
Could truly dedicate themselves entirely to cultivation.
Uninterrupted by any distractions.
As for ordinary students, they continued with their studies as usual. At most, they were given a few hours during their spare time to cultivate. Abandoning their education entirely was out of the question.
Never mind whether their parents would permit it.
The nation would not permit it either.
This was because the nation firmly believed that the current situation was temporary and would not persist indefinitely. Solutions would eventually be found. The future direction would still be technological development, or at least a parallel progression of technology and cultivation. Technological development would absolutely not be abandoned.
Therefore, cultural and academic education could not be neglected.
In fact, it needed to be intensified.
Regardless, with the increase in the number of cultivators and the growing abundance of Yang-attribute spiritual plants, the fusion of the Yin and Yang realms finally began to slow down. The Yin energy that had been rampant everywhere was either being purified or transformed into ordinary spiritual energy by the Yin-Yang Creation Grand Formation, rendering it incapable of erosion.
The previously uncontrollable situation was finally contained.
Humanity had finally regained the initiative.
They began to systematically eliminate strange demons, and areas corrupted and contaminated by those demons and Yin energy.
Following this, the effort naturally continued.
Ding Yun relentlessly introduced higher-grade Yang-attribute spiritual plants, more formations, and elixirs. The nation and ordinary citizens persistently improved their cultivation and expanded the planting range of Yang-attribute spiritual plants.
Many things relied on the principle of mutual displacement.
Under the conservation of energy, the continuous disappearance and transformation of Yin energy naturally implied the continuous weakening of the entire netherworld. Within just five years, the netherworld was so weakened that the purplish-red moon became significantly dimmer and unstable, showing signs of collapse.
At this point, Ding Yun knew the time was ripe.
She had to act to separate the Yin and Yang realms.
Although theoretically, even if she did not intervene, the netherworld would inevitably collapse and vanish if this trend continued, the world required Yin-Yang equilibrium. Without Yin and Yang, the mortal realm could not exist for long.
Without the cyclical ebb and flow of Yin and Yang, the mortal realm would fall into complete imbalance. The greatest impact would be the increased difficulty in procreation and the potential for incomplete souls in future life forms.
This was because the foundation of ordinary sentient souls lay in the birth of Yang from Yin. Souls were inherently Yin, while physical bodies were Yang. The harmony between the two led to creation and the birth of new life.
This was also why Yin energy bred anomalies. Souls, being inherently Yin, were nourished by Yin energy.
It was normal for them to undergo changes.
Therefore, the netherworld could be suppressed, but it absolutely could not be destroyed. Previously, when Yin and Yang converged and fused stably, it was difficult for Ding Yun to separate them. Now that the netherworld was declining and instinctively resisting the fusion, creating a rift between them, Ding Yun could confidently act.
However, to gain sufficient influence, Ding Yun could not act as a silent hero behind the scenes. Thus, she preemptively made a global announcement. Then, when the number of viewers in the live broadcast reached eighty percent of the global population, she appeared and flew towards the moon.
Subsequently, naturally, in front of more than eighty percent of humanity watching the live broadcast, she manifested her terrifying soul power and forcibly separated the moon.
The entire process appeared simple, as if merely pulling something with her hand, but it was actually quite complex, requiring precise control of every spatial node with mental power.
She swiftly and accurately severed the netherworld's moon from the celestial moon.
To the viewers of the live broadcast, it appeared as if Ding Yun simply pulled, and one moon became two: the original bright moon, and a purplish-red moon.
The purplish-red moon was the core of the netherworld.
After Ding Yun gained control of the purplish-red moon, it became much easier to proceed with the separation of the Yin and Yang realms.
Originally, the entire process could have been carried out silently, but for the sake of influence, Ding Yun had to expend more of her mental energy to force the netherworld into manifestation.
Instantly, everyone on Earth could see a superimposed space around them, vastly different from the mortal world's environment, filled with dense Yin energy, which was continuously emitting Yin energy outwards.
This was the true appearance of the netherworld.
However, under Ding Yun's operation, this superimposed space not only became increasingly apparent, but the overlapping portions also began to decrease. Those near the remaining anomalous zones, which had not yet been completely eradicated, could clearly see those anomalous zones being swept into the superimposed space and carried away, moving further and further away from them.
The original areas reverted to their past appearance.
They became normal land.
It was just a pity that all vegetation and animals had perished.
Before long, the entire netherworld was completely peeled away by Ding Yun and returned to its original trajectory. Simultaneously, Ding Yun established a Yin-Yang Balance Conversion Grand Formation at the inter-realm junction to ensure the equilibrium between Yin and Yang.
If the Yin energy in the netherworld became too heavy in the future, the formation would convert it into Yang energy. If the Yang energy in the mortal realm became too heavy, it would convert it into Yin energy. Only by maintaining balance between the two could fusion be prevented from occurring again.
This was because fusion typically involved the stronger party consuming the weaker party, with rare instances of equal-strength fusion. As long as the two realms maintained balance, the possibility of future fusion would be low, and even if fusion occurred, it would not be a one-sided affair.
Concurrently, Ding Yun, through her performance and actions, gained considerable influence and the favor of the world, successfully inscribing her own mark upon the world's origin.
Following this, she still did not leave immediately.
Instead, she resolved some lingering issues.
Only then did she feel at ease to withdraw from this world.
