Kiana, Who Would Eventually Cease to Exist

Su Qing'an's efficiency in devouring demons remained as simple and pure as ever. He did not even need to enter the Sumeru Mustard Seed. Merely through the medium touched by his skin, he extracted the overall concept contained within it, condensed it into a round bead, and digested it within this shell without causing much disturbance.

He murmured:

"About nine percent."

The girl returned the Sumeru Mustard Seed to its original place and gazed out the window at the scenery of the academy, saying softly:

"If there are no variables in the progress ahead, then after devouring all the reserves within Shenzhou, we may not be far from reaching fullness."

Su Qing'an thought for a moment before asking:

"How much of Shenzhou's accumulated reserves does this Sumeru Mustard Seed contain?"

Hua explained:

"Because the remains of demons from other regions are regularly transferred into this Sumeru Mustard Seed, it contains half of Shenzhou's reserves accumulated over the past eight hundred years."

She paused.

"Besides, over the years, I often took the Sumeru Mustard Seed to the Sea of Quantum to hunt. That portion has to be included as well. In that case, the reserves remaining throughout Shenzhou will probably only increase your progress by another five percent."

Su Qing'an was not surprised.

The data originally estimated to be necessary to reach fullness had taken into account the Honkai Beasts across the entire world. Even so, it would still require at least a thousand years.

But now, [Immortal Ascension] had guarded only Shenzhou, and merely eight hundred years had passed.

If not for the influence of his own records, which had vaguely informed his counterpart that he could now be awakened, then at this rate, it would have been perfectly normal for Su Qing'an to sleep for another eight hundred years.
