As it was, Loki wasn't the only one who came to the conclusion that the world essence had saved them three days of time. After all, the growth of the white gem had happened right under their noses. Thanks to their Insight Stat, they all knew exactly how much the white crystal had grown up to 2 decimal places of a centimeter.
After coming to the conclusion that the world essence had saved them 3 days of time, they also concluded that the saved time wasn't worth it. This was because the world essence that was sacrificed was worth at least 100 years of lifespan.
Even someone with a Life Fire of average conversion efficiency of 8.25% would be able to get 3,001 days' worth of lifespan from the world essence. Yet, a hundred years' worth of world essence could only increase the progress of the gem's growth by 3 days. So the white gem had an abyssmal efficiency of 0.00822%.
