The next line of information came from the device into his mind.
[Survivors: 11,710,202]
[Time left: 6 days 23 hours 55 minutes]
[Acolyte casualties: 10]
Besides the surprising discovery of 10 acolytes who died in the middle of the exam, there was also a total of one million lives that had been lost in the past two days. That was about the size of the whole people living in the Logress capital city.
The number of Andora natives was rapidly decreasing, this realization only served to strengthen Emery's resolve to save more people.
With the arrival of Yuri and his squad, the rebuilt and fortified settlement seemed to have regained its life as the survivors began to populate it once again.
Yuri came to Emery after instructing his group members to settle the survivors down and reported he had rescued and brought nearly 30,000 survivors. He also told Emery he had found many more and could probably deliver around the same amount of survivors every day.
"Thank you for your hard work Yuri."
In response, the bald elite acolyte simply shook his head.
"No commander, thank you... you have shown me this is what we are really supposed to do." After saying that, Yuri excused himself, as he and his group would be leaving again.
Just an hour after Yuri and his group had left to look for more survivors, several people, who Emery recognized belonged to Lodos' team, arrived at the settlement. Naturally, they brought a group of survivors with them. This time, the survivors came riding in several metal carriages and numbered around twenty thousand.
In just half a day, there were nearly fifty thousand survivors gathered in the settlement Emery had rebuilt.
As soon as they finished delivering the survivors, the acolytes went back to their area, leaving Emery to take care of the fifty thousand survivors on his own.
Fortunately, with Arcana having taken action and leading the Abyss creatures he had bewitched to the Shrine, there were hardly any Abyss creatures within a dozen miles of the vicinity, making the journey to the place quite safe.
Problems actually occurred internally, from the survivors themselves. These people were exhausted from their long journey to come here and terrified from the fear of losing their lives, so their emotions easily spiraled out of control and they started quarreling and fighting with each other over simple things.
Emery swiftly summoned 50 Mineralized Warriors to assist him to deal with the disturbance. Thanks to their overwhelming presence, the chaos and disorder were quickly extinguished.
Immediately after, Emery gathered all the leading figures of the survivors to inform them of the situation and asked them to select a few dozen people to help maintain order in the settlement.
It was fortunate that these people were willing to cooperate. Some of them even offered to help gather more survivors using their vehicles.
With the help and cooperation of these leaders, the situation was quickly brought under control and order was restored.
Emery then went to the hill overlooking the settlement, sat down at the edge of it and used his Spirit Reading to spread his senses.
With his advancement to the middle stage of rank 9, his range of spirit reading expanded once more. Emery not only used it to observe the people within the settlement, but also all 200 miles around him.
Emery did not just have the five wooden creatures to help him increase the spirit reading range, but also 300 acolytes of platoon 3 under his command to report for any trouble within the continent, leaving him sitting on standby for any potential threats that came near.
Without any immediate task in front of him, Emery decided to check out the unique creature he had caught earlier.

He opened his Spatial Space and was about to bring the creature out, only to discover he couldn't find it.
"What the... Where did it go?!"

On the other hand, he found Twik was behaving strangely, and appeared much less energetic than usual, hence he pulled the wooden creature out.
"Kuang kuang Kuang."
With [One Mind], Emery could understand what Twik was trying to say more clearly. He was very surprised when Twik said the mysterious butterfly had been residing in his body.
"What?!" Emery quickly turned anxious, hoping nothing bad would happen to Twik.
A moment later, Twik gradually turned glowing in gold and Emery watched in bewilderment as something happened to the wooden creature. The leaves on Twik's body swayed and turned vibrant green, followed by a vigorous body as Twik's power gradually increased.
Emery put his hand into the little creature and found Twik was advancing.
[Flora Colossi - Stage 5 (6)]
[Legendary Creature Level 30 (60)]
[Battle Power - 95 (125)]
"Kuang Kuang!"
Emery was in a daze when he realized Twik had just undergone an evolution, raising his stage by one level. After the evolution finished and the golden glow disappeared, the gold butterfly emerged from Twik's body and started flying away.
Seeing this, Emery came out of his reverie, and quickly cast [Aegis Void] to capture the butterfly once again.
Emery swiftly utilized his Spirit Reading towards the glowing butterfly trying to communicate with it.
"What are you? Can you understand me?"
There was no reply other than the sense of familiarity he once again felt from the creature. It was a vague feeling that finally made him realize to use his [Nature Grasp] on it.
Thin green spirit roots shot out from his palm and swiftly engulfed the butterfly as soon as Emery dispelled his [Aegis Void] spell. Immediately after, when the green root touch the glowing creature, he could feel a connection being established with it.
Yes... this creature, the familiarity, it reminded him of the Gaia Tree back home.
A moment after, Emery found himself in a vision of bright golden light, effused of vigor, standing tall among the hundreds of people, who were bowing and prostrating to it.
It was a majestic white tree - the Tree of Light.
It was worshiped by people, and it gave back to the people through the energy that kept the planet alive.
This symbiotic relationship lasted for centuries until something changed.
The white golden leaves began to fall from its branches, and a few little ones were lucky enough to turn into tiny glowing butterflies.
That was the moment the tiny butterfly on his hand was born. At the same time, Emery was awakened from the vision. He stood up and aimed his gaze North, where the sacred mountain lies.
One name came to mind.
"Primordial Wisp."
