Chapter 524 524:- Consequences...... 

The whole night Aditya and others did not sleep in worry of what was happening to the Southern region. It turned out that this mysterious phenomenon was only happening in the Southern region not any other region. This left everyone confused and wondering if this phenomenon was natural to begin with. The Mana density around the entire Southern region continued to increase slowly but surely.

The Mana density did not immediately increase to the point where it would crush normal people who are not used to such high mana density. The sudden pressure of such density would instantly kill normal people. Instead what happened was, that the Mana density in the atmosphere slowly kept increasing. Although the normal people did feel uncomfortable and felt their chests tighten as a result of this, soon their bodies were able to adapt and that uncomfortable feeling went away.

And those who couldn't withstand this had died due to heart failures. Those people had found it extremely difficult to even breathe. For those unfortunate ones, there was nothing Aditya could do. It was impossible to save those people in such a short period of time.

Around the entire Southern region, almost 20,000 to 40,000 people died as a result of this according to an estimate. The clear number was still unclear. But the good news is that most normal people have been able to survive and adapt.

To tackle this challenging difficult situation, Aditya had to take some steps. Firstly he ordered an evacuation of the most affected areas. Even if most people had adapted to the new Mana density, he wanted to ensure the safety of all his subjects. Temporary shelters were set up in areas where the Mana density was more tolerable.

Next, he called upon his council of mages and scholars of the Istarin Empire to investigate this mysterious phenomenon. They were tasked with determining the cause and finding a solution to stabilize the Mana density. This was a really important matter. His allies including the Ethereal Empire sent their best mages and scholars to the Southern region to study the mysterious phenomenon and work with the Istarin Empire's Mages and scholars to find some sort of solution.

The whole task was led by Riya who proposed this in the first place. Being the goddess of Nature, Riya had a deeper understanding of Nature. She could accurately guess what changes were happening to the Southern region.

Additionally, medical camps were established throughout the Southern region to treat those feeling unwell due to the Mana fluctuations. These camps provided medical aid and distributed Mana stabilizing potions to help people cope with the sudden change. Julia and Paige worked non-stop to make Mana stabilizing potions for the common people.

Lastly, he dispatched the Shadow Guardians throughout the region to gather accurate information and report back. This would help in getting a clearer picture of the situation and make informed decisions. Aditya also did this in hopes of finding some clues about Simon. He had a feeling that he was responsible for this as well. Even if it wasn't true and Simon wasn't responsible for this, Aditya still needed to find him and Pope Alaric before both of them left the Istarin Emperor was sitting in front of the table and was reading the reports that the Shadow guardians sent back all around the Southern Region. If that were to happen, then it would be impossible to locate them or capture them.

This continued for the next 15 hours. Around 15 hours later, the Istarin Emperor was sitting in front of the table and was reading the reports that the Shadow guardians sent back all around the Southern region. And reading the reports Aditya was really disappointed. The shadow Guardians could find anything. Even Alicia with her vast network of connections wasn't able to find anything about this mysterious phenomenon or anything about Simon and Pope.

Sigh!

"Just what is happening in the Southern region? I was supposed to be celebrating my birthday but now this chaos had to come...." Aditya hadn't moved from this place for almost 10 hours now. Every 30 to 50 minutes later, more reports would arrive at his table. Some of these reports were about the findings of the Shadow Guardians, some of them were from the Mages and Scholars who were working with Riya, and some of them came from Paige and Julia.

Most of the reports were about the casualties of this event throughout the Southern region. As Aditya picked up another piece of paper to read suddenly Spencer barged into his study room.

"Your Majesty, we have some good news." Spencer came and reported.

The words made Aditya feel relieved. In such a situation, good news brought relief to him. "What?"

"The Mana density has stopped increasing." Hearing this Aditya felt relieved. If the Mana density kept increasing then it bring catastrophic calamity to the Istarin Empire.

An increase in Mana Desnity would lead to the weakening of the laws that prevented higher-level cultivators from retaining their cultivation powers when they came outside of the Main Continent. This prevented the Higher-Order cultivators on the Main Continent from coming outside. The Higher-Order cultivators didn't want to come out. As if they did their powers would be limited to Peak 5th-order. This meant that other Peka 5th-order cultivators that lived and roamed within the 6 continents had the power to kill them.

 If the Mana Desnity in the Southern region reached the level of Mana Desnity of The Main Continent, then the Southern region would become a place where the cultivators from the Main continent could come while retaining their powers. At that time, nothing could stop the forces from the Main Continent from claiming this Land. And since the whole Southern region was under the istarin Empire, the one's factions and the Empires that would want this region would attack the Istarin Empire. At that time, the Empire would have no choice but to retreat as there was no way that the Istarin Empire could fight the forces from the Main continent; not when the higher-order cultivators could retain their powers.

"But Your Majesty, there is bad news."

"What?"

"The Mana density has reached a level where now it is possible for Peak 5th-order cultivators to break through and reach 6th-order."

This was really bad news. As currently other than Aditya no one in the Istarin Empire had the power to take on 6th-order cultivators. Aditya can only push himself up to the level of Beginner-6th order cultivator but if a Peak 6th-order cultivator were to appear then it would mean that even he wouldn't be able to defeat him.

"According to Lady Riya, even if the Higher-Order cultivators come to the Southern region, the restriction on their cultivation will be raised to Peak 6th-order." Before the Higher-Order cultivator's cultivation was restricted to Peak 5th-order when they came out of the Main Continent but now here in the Southern region, this limit was Peak 6th-order due to the high density of Mana within the Southern region.

The World itself naturally put this law to prevent the Higher-Order cultivators from destroying the six continents with their presence. If the Higher-Order cultivators were allowed to come to the Six Continents where the Mana Desert was many times compared to the Main Continent, simply their presence would destroy the Six Continents. This is because the Six Continents are simply not strong enough to withstand any High-order cultivator.

For this reason, cultivators from Six Continents cannot ascend to Higher-Order without going to the Main continent. The Mana Desnity in the Six Continents was simply too low. For years many have tried to figure out this mystery and know why the Mana Density in the Main Continent was higher than other Six Continents.

On hearing this, Aditya was sure that this was done by Simon. "This is why that Bastard looked so confident and repeatedly told me that he was going to meet me soon. This is why....." Simon was originally a Peak 6th-order cultivator. But when he came outside of the Main Continent, his cultivation was restricted to Peak 5th-order. And he knew that with his restricted powers he could not defeat Aditya as the last time they fought Aditya had severed his hand and almost killed him.

"Spencer, I am going out." Leaving Spencer confused, Aditya left.

Scene change____

"Sir, I can't seem to contact one of our members who had been sent to Starfire City." Reported one of the Shadow Guardians.

Hearing this Nathan frowned under his mask and then asked. "Since how long?"

"We have been having this issue for about 15 hours now."

"Then why are you reporting such a serious issue so late?" Nathan lost it hearing this.

Aditya who came to take Nathan with him heard everything.

Bang!!!!

With a punch, he broke the wall and left towards the teleportation array. Nathan coldly looked at his subordinates. "You stay here. Once this is over, Your punishment will be decided." Saying that Nathan went after Aditya to follow him to Star Fire City.
