Who didn't want to become stronger?
Ever since the Age of Dawn commenced, Ves and many other knowledgeable people concluded that red humanity would change forever.
Heavenly qi. The power of heaven. Spiritual energy. Psionic power. E energy.
No matter what label it carried, this powerful energy with psychoactive and psychoreactive properties had the potential to turn a lot of trash into treasure!
The magnitude of E energy radiation bombarding the Red Ocean was massive. The vast majority of this supposedly 'free' energy harmlessly passed through the empty void of space and continued their way onwards without benefiting anyone or anything in the process.
Only a small proportion of this huge amount of exotic radiation slammed into planets.
Rocks, plants and exobeasts all became bathed in E energy radiation. They all became affected by this ubiquitous force in many different ways.
