Shen Xing discovered that thousandfold time acceleration had depleted the Lotus Pond’s spiritual energy, causing lotus plants to wither and Soul Crystal Bream to suffer. Nimue explained the imbalance and suggested removing some lotus seeds and cultivating other aquatic plants instead.

• Shen Xing found the Lotus Pond’s lotus leaves and flowers withering, its water turning murky, and the Soul Crystal Bream struggling.
• Old Fordring determined that the pond was losing vitality, and Shen Xing summoned Nimue for help.
• Nimue explained that thousandfold acceleration made the lotus seeds consume vitality faster than the pond could replenish it.
• Nimue advised Shen Xing to remove about a third of the growing lotus seeds to restore balance and protect the bream.
• Nimue suggested planting Netherfire Water Orchids, Jade Rush, and Star-Tear Algae in the pond for their useful properties.
