"Hiss... common ground."
Ye Buyu slapped the table. "Find common ground. As the old saying goes, resolving every disagreement is impossible, so we can only seek common ground while setting aside our differences, then take things slowly from there."
"Finding common ground, huh." Su Wuwei spoke with a smile. "Isn't it obvious? Calamity Power."
Wan Lan was speechless. "You might as well have said air."
Omnipresent Calamity Power, a product of the expansion of cosmic energy-wasn't that practically the same as air?
Su Wuwei nodded. "That's not wrong, but has everyone forgotten what gave Lou Guanshan's blade and the moon such power?
"The Calamity Power they accumulated over time deserves some credit too. Since these things can absorb Calamity Power, that means there's a way to bypass Calamities and draw directly on Calamity Power."
"Oh!"
Lou Guanshan suddenly understood.
"Bypassing Calamities and absorbing Calamity Power for our own use is basically recycling waste. After all, the activities of living beings inevitably produce some negative effects.
"And those negative effects are precisely the driving force that breeds Calamities. If we can develop something like that, we won't have to fight Calamities to the death."
Mu Bingge more or less understood what her teammates were thinking.
"Calamities absorb Calamity Power, condensing it into special materials inside their bodies. Living beings kill Calamities and obtain those materials to grow stronger.
"It's like solar panels absorbing solar energy and converting it into usable resources, except Calamities are single-use solar panels.
"What we need to do now is develop a completely new kind of solar panel to replace the role Calamities play."
Kou Ying gave a thumbs-up. "Exactly. And we also have the Way of the Soul. Perhaps energy obtained this way would be better suited to the general public."
Wan Lan could only marvel.
