Godly Crystals were the lifelines required to survive the scorching days. As night approached, Celis couldn't help thinking about all the cultivators who had died during the Cover Hour. Was the reason so many of them had to die simply that there weren't enough Godly Crystals to go around?
Of course, he couldn't confirm that theory yet. There was one detail that bothered him, though. They had witnessed the Spatial Rings of the dead cultivators disappearing without a trace. Unlike the cultivators themselves, who had been burned to a crisp, the rings hadn't been destroyed. They had simply vanished.
It was very likely that the Godly Crystals the cultivators brought with them were what everyone fought over during the nighttime. If that was the case, the city had a rather cruel way of forcing its inhabitants to compete for their survival. Regardless, the twins' group would have to wait until nightfall to discover exactly what they were expected to do to obtain more Godly Crystals.
