Although Wu Hua and the others had learned some minor secrets from Ding Yun about resisting Yin energy, they were still carrying Wen Lingyu, so they didn't need to resist it at all.
Therefore, there was no opportunity to test it for the time being.
They could only put it aside for now.
Before long, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, regardless of whether they felt cold from the Yin energy the night before or not, everyone was enthusiastically soaking up the sun. Even those who usually worried about getting tanned and accelerated skin aging from UV rays applied sunscreen.
They chased the sun like sunflowers, seeking sunlight.
Even more absurdly, some wealthy and leisurely individuals, upon finding their area overcast or rainy with no sun, would specifically take trains or planes to places with sunshine to bask in it.
However, compared to those who had bought annual passes or private jets, planning to truly chase the sun and avoid the night altogether, these actions were considered child's play.
Of course, this was for the rich, leisured, and capable.
Ordinary people, for the sake of full attendance, were usually afraid to be late for work. At this time, they could only try their best with what they could do, making do to cope with the future darkness.
Moreover, as there was no official guidance yet.
Everyone prepared their own things.
It was a dazzling array of methods. The types of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures alone were numerous. Some prepared printed scriptures, some prepared handwritten scriptures, some prepared scriptures copied by masters, some prepared scriptures with gold powder, or scriptures written with black dog blood, chicken crest blood, or virgin boy urine. Even more ridiculously, some even dared to add menstrual blood, placental blood, and the like to the scriptures.
It was truly a scene comparable to demons dancing.
As for other items like garlic talismans, sarira artifacts, and consecrated statues, the number of people buying them was even greater. Some online stores, which only made a few sales a year, were completely sold out and taken down.
Ding Yun did not do much extra at this time. She simply, through the internal group of the corporation, relayed the same words she had told her mother yesterday to the high-level executives of the corporation and asked them to notify others.
As for whether they believed it or not, she couldn't control that.
Believe it or not.
After all, when trouble truly arose, someone would inevitably resort to desperate measures, trying various methods, and then they would naturally know whose methods were effective.
And whose methods were useless.
However, although everyone was panicked, the fusion of the Yin and Yang realms was not an overnight process. Coupled with the fact that the dense Yin energy's influence on the human world was largely dispelled by the sun during the day, the current speed of the supernatural resurgence was generally still relatively slow.
Only those whose bodies were already weak, in areas with inherently heavier Yin energy than others, or those living near graveyards and cemeteries, felt it more deeply.
Healthy individuals felt no discomfort in the short term and did not feel unwell. If they did feel unwell, it was mostly due to self-inflicted fear.
Therefore, as time passed, many people quickly lost their initial panic and no longer actively pursued fake talismans and artifacts. Instead, they began to exercise. Even online public opinion became more optimistic as a result.
The government even began to actively promote fitness.
This undoubtedly made the general public further believe that fitness was useful, and a healthy body was definitely beneficial for coping with the current special night environment.
However, a minority of those in the know were not optimistic at all.
Because no matter how slow the speed of supernatural resurgence was, it was still resurging and constantly changing. This quantitative change would eventually lead to a qualitative change. After the qualitative change, the night would no longer be something that a healthy body could resist.
One day, two days, one month, two months.
Half a year after everyone had become accustomed to the purple-blood-colored moon, the qualitative change occurred. The purple-blood-colored moon did not dissipate even after the sun came out. Although its color had faded considerably, it was still purple-blood-colored. It was the same at night, no longer changing only after midnight as it did before.
Instead, it was constantly a purple-blood color.
The moon used to change color around midnight, and then as soon as the sun came out the next day.
Its color would gradually fade.
Now, regardless of whether the sun was out or not, whether the moon could be seen or not, the moon appeared purple-blood-colored. Satellite observations also showed the same. This meant that the moon had completely mutated into a purple-blood color.
The moon's mutation was not the key. The key was that after the moon's mutation, its amplification of Yin energy had increased manyfold. Originally, as soon as the sun came out, it could immediately clear away ninety percent of the Yin energy that increased at night. Now it couldn't. With the moon's amplification, it could only clear away half the Yin energy.
The various newly born supernatural beings and demons were also not as afraid of the sun as before. Some could even walk under the sun and harm people, relying on the completely mutated moon.
Therefore, reports of supernatural incidents began to skyrocket from the day the moon completely mutated.
Even ordinary people could clearly perceive this.
It was only at this time that Ding Yun's previously proposed method of restraining with humanistic belief finally began to be used by some people as a last resort in life-or-death situations. Those who found it effective survived and widely publicized it.
Soon, even relevant official agencies noticed this event. After trying it, they found it effective and officially began to promote it, even using it in combat.
However, they also knew that this was only a temporary solution, so research did not stop. Various weapons specifically targeting supernatural beings and demons were continuously being developed.
As supernatural beings and demons increased, so did humanity's coping methods. Overall, a relative balance was still maintained. Although casualties were high, at least there was no complete lack of resistance. The country's order remained stable.
At this time, Ding Yun unexpectedly discovered the special utility of the Transformation Spring water in the current situation.
As the integration of the Yin and Yang realms increased, not only did various supernatural beings and demons appear, but also some Yin-attribute spiritual objects nourished by Yin energy were born, such as the Nine Yin Purple Blood Ganoderma and the Myriad Souls Dead Vine.
These Yin-attribute spiritual objects were a great tonic for supernatural beings and demons, but for ordinary humans, they were absolutely poisonous. Let alone eating them, even touching them, or being close to them, could directly lead to death by poisoning.
Ding Yun also relied on her strong mental power.
This allowed her to obtain some for research.
However, no matter how she researched, without changing the species' attributes, she could not make normal humans absorb and use them. At most, she could only moderate them to create tonics that could over-nourish low-level supernatural beings and demons, or special poisons that could kill some supernatural beings and demons.
Until recently, Ding Yun suddenly thought that the Transformation Spring water itself had the effect of reversing Yin and Yang, turning males into females and females into males. Why couldn't it also transform the Yin attribute of plants into a Yang attribute?
Since she owned an entire spring eye, she had no shortage of Transformation Spring water. Thus, she soon began to try irrigating those Yin-attribute spiritual objects with the Transformation Spring water.
And the final result was quite surprising.
That is, her idea was not wrong.
As long as she irrigated a sufficient amount of Transformation Spring water at one time, she could directly cause those Yin-attribute spiritual objects to reverse Yin and Yang, eventually transforming into Yang-attribute spiritual objects.
Yang-attribute spiritual objects that ordinary humans could also use.
