Azure Dragon 287

A prompt appeared before Bai Pu's eyes.

Spatial jump imminent. This jump will use the preset cosmic coordinates: Silver Heart Great World (Code: TC80942)—Azure Dragon Domain—Kappa Virginis.

This spatial jump will consume 4.7% of the Earth's leyline energy reserves. To restore those reserves, the surface temperature will decrease by 22.98 degrees Celsius over the next ten years. Confirm?

It had long been proven that leyline energy reserves affected surface temperatures, and the principle behind it was simple.

The Sun Star's energy shone upon Earth's surface. A small portion of the heat was reflected away, while most was trapped by greenhouse gases and entered the geothermal system.

Interstellar jumps consumed vast amounts of leyline energy reserves. Earth would absorb enormous amounts of energy to replenish them, reducing the energy entering the geothermal system and causing surface temperatures to plummet.

Of course, Earth's internal energy would also be released through volcanoes, earthquakes, tectonic movements, and other activities, which would affect surface temperatures as well. However, geological activity had little impact on temperature and could be disregarded.

Leyline energy reserves were extremely important; they could be considered Earth's lifeline.

If they could not be restored for a long time, they would eventually be depleted. At that point, Earth would become a dead, silent planet like the Moon.

Naturally, if Earth's temperature truly dropped by 22.98 degrees Celsius, it would be an unimaginably terrifying disaster, with incalculable damage to Earth's ecosystem.

Bai Pu said, "The leyline energy reserves need to be restored, but the negative impact on surface temperatures must be considered. Earth Core Space can absorb additional solar energy, but it cannot be rushed. It would be fine to complete the restoration over the next hundred years."

Originally, restoring the leyline energy reserves within ten years would require the Earth's core to absorb
