A Glimmer Beneath the Natural Disaster

"What?"

As it looked into Ye Xiu's eyes, Earth Spirit felt an inexplicable flicker of panic rise within it.

Impossible, right?

For no reason, that thought surfaced in its mind.

A spirit-energy lifeform like it should not die, according to common sense.

All things between heaven and earth possessed spirits; this was the most fundamental composition of the world.

By ordinary understanding, completely destroying one's current material body could indeed be considered death. Yet so long as the spirit within the world's underlying laws had not perished, then even if one's bloodline scattered, there could still come a day of rebirth.

Even ordinary acquired lifeforms could endure for so long. An innately born spirit entity of noble origin like it was naturally even harder to kill.

Earth Spirit alone knew dozens of methods to preserve itself.

The simplest among them was merely to merge into the great host of heaven and earth, parasitizing the origin spirit energy. Then nothing in this world could harm even a hair on its head!
