"Good morning everybody. I am Cedric Stormrider, the Sun Sage."
"All of you are hearing my voice right now because of an important development that will happen to our world."
"Simply put, Prime Earth is currently evolving. This process might cause some disturbances like earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, volcanic eruptions, etc. Additionally, please note that the Acala System will be inactive during this time as Acala, Prime Earth's spiritual consciousness and the real administrator of the system, is also affected by the world's evolution."
"Fret not, the world is under my watch. I won't let anybody die from a serendipitous event. Please bear with it because our world's evolution will only do us good in the long run. This disturbance is but a momentary thing."
"As for how long it will last, even I am not certain. But it shouldn't take more than two weeks of time."
"Please remain calm throughout this time. Stay with your loved ones if you have them. If you can't, then do your best to stay as relaxed as possible. I am watching over you all."
The voice of the Sun Sage was heard by everybody; his voice was projected to everybody's mind no matter where they were currently during the announcement.
None of them were expecting this. Some never even thought that the world can evolve, so this was certainly shocking for them.
Of course, this caused some panic amongst the people. Many were frightened at the prospect of numerous natural disasters occurring within this time period. However, there were a lot of people who put faith in the Sun Sage. He said that he's watching over them and won't let them die, and they believed him.
Understandably, the Federation was alarmed by this. It was evident that even they didn't know that this will happen. But before they themselves descended into the similar panic as the others were experiencing, Cedric already sent them a message:
"Keep calm, you people. You are from the federation; your mental fortitude must be stronger than this."
Just from those words alone, Cedric already took hold of the situation.
"I know that you all are surprised too since something like this should've been known to you beforehand. Unfortunately, this was an unexpected development even for me too. I wasn't expecting Prime Earth to evolve this soon."
"I knew that the world will evolve into a greater one someday, but definitely not this soon, so even I was surprised by this. That's why I was unable to inform you a lot as well, and you had to be surprised along with the others."
By the end of the week, it was evident that the world was in chaos. The foretold earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and other things were happening all over the world.
The only reason why people haven't descended to mass hysteria yet was because Cedric remained true to his words.
His presence will be felt by anybody who is about to experience the terrible forces of nature. He will protect them from harm, rendering any accidents ineffective against his protection.
Signs of this could be seen all over the globe. It didn't matter where people were—on land or deep in the sea—so long as they're in this world, he can and will reach them. And isn't that just a comforting sight?
It's his work that reduced the crisis they were feeling. Knowing that a godlike figure was truly watching over them bolstered their faith that everything would be fine in the end.
And just like this, two weeks have passed...
Two days before the estimated period of the world's evolution, the signs were already dying down. By the end, all signs disappeared completely, and the world returned to its natural state. But of course, there were some visible changes.
No matter who it was, be it Cedric or a common civilian, you could tell that the world has changed.
Everybody felt like the world was more colorful, more vibrant, more alive, and more active than before. It was quite inexplicable, but it's beautiful. Then, on the dawn of the next day, the foretold blessings began.
It was unlike the Origin Energy Rain that required everybody to get out and be drenched in it. No, this one doesn't have any requirements like that.
The blessing was a breath—well, more like a breeze of air that swirled along the heavens and earth. It nourished and brought a refreshing change to anything it touched, and this change was on a genetic level.
This breeze passed through everything. It couldn't be stopped or trapped by any solid object, nor hindered by anything else.
Cedric discovered this breeze as soon as it appeared and has already made his move. With a flick of his sleeves, he controlled the power of laws and empowered this breeze, turning it more potent than it should've been.
Shortly after that, the breeze began circulating through the entire world. And suddenly, be it the young or the old, everybody fell into a deep slumber as earth-shaking changes occurred to them.
There were no exceptions to this aside Cedric himself. Even his wife and sons were affected by this as well.
The changes they're experiencing were incredible, so much so that their slumber may or may not last for more than a day. The length depends on their latent potential and their luck.
