• When the others struggled to process Ye Buyu’s revelations, she decided to ask the veteran Calamities for guidance on controlling the power of Origin and mastering their concept-like powers.

Hold Up the Heavens discussed the rising threat of Calamities and asked [Fear] about Origin Power, but [Fear] offered information only if Ye Buyu became the Fourth Princess of the Dark Abyss Calamity Dynasty.

She offered [Stagnation] and [Cycle] the chance to rebuild Floating City, and [Stagnation] reacted with sudden excitement.
