Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 56: Hidden Dangers of the Blood Rain

"A fourth-tier high-grade Fierce Beast!"

In the Human Federation’s high-level video conference, everyone wore a grave expression, their eyes collectively resting on Ji Xuan, who appeared slightly pale.

This was the first person in the Human Federation to achieve a third-tier perfect Evolution Value, and now one of the few to quickly break through to the fourth tier.

In terms of strength.

Ji Xuan was undoubtedly among the top three in the Federation, perhaps even the first without question.

However, this formidable warrior was severely injured by a Fierce Beast, resulting in considerable losses of cultivators in the first war zone.

It could be said.

This was the greatest loss the Federation had experienced since the emergence of the Divine Kingdom chat group.

Ji Xuan’s face was pale, his voice somewhat weak: "A fourth-tier high-grade Fierce Beast has appeared on the Northern Continent, and we hadn’t received any prior information.

Now that such a level of Fierce Beast has appeared on the Northern Continent, it’s very likely that fourth-tier high-grade Fierce Beasts exist on the other two continents as well.

The Federation must be extremely cautious when cleansing the continents of these Fierce Beasts!"

The appearance of a fourth-tier high-grade Fierce Beast caught Ji Xuan completely off guard.

Even though he had reached the fourth-tier Nascent Soul Realm, backed by his formidable foundation, he would not fear even a fourth-tier middle-grade Fierce Beast.

Yet.

The strength of a fourth-tier high-grade Fierce Beast surpasses that of a fourth-tier middle-grade Fierce Beast by far.

Even Ji Xuan was no match for such a beast, barely escaping after exhausting all his trump cards.

Hearing this.

The leaders of other war zones also looked grim.

Gu Fang said, "To severely injure the old Marshal, it seems like the Fierce Beast on the Northern Continent is indeed exceptional. While we humans are progressing, the Fierce Beasts are also advancing.

Let’s not forget, it’s been eleven years since the last occurrence of the blood rain.

If the blood rain follows a pattern, then in another four years, it will surely happen again.

At that time, fifth-tier Fierce Beasts will undoubtedly appear across continents and oceans, nullifying all the advantages the Federation has built..."

Blood rain!

Fifth-tier Fierce Beasts!

Gu Fang’s words caused others to change their expressions dramatically.

Indeed!

They had almost forgotten about the existence of the blood rain.

The first blood rain caused all countries worldwide to fall, and the second nearly wiped out the Federation’s foundation of over a decade.

If the third blood rain descends, the Federation could very likely face annihilation.

This is no joke.

Now that fourth-tier high-grade Fierce Beasts have appeared, the probability of them breaking through to the fifth tier during a blood rain is high.

In an instant.

Marshal Mu Chang of the second war zone nodded: "Marshal Gu Fang makes a valid point. We still don’t know what exactly the blood rain is.

Furthermore, we haven’t fully understood the regularity of the blood rain’s occurrence; we’ve only assumed, based on the last two, that it happens every fifteen years.

If the blood rain doesn’t follow a fifteen-year cycle and occurs earlier, we’ll be caught completely off guard!"

Mentioning the blood rain added to the gravity of the Federation’s high-level video conference.

After all, it concerned the survival of the entire Federation, and they had to treat it cautiously.

Especially now, with the emergence of the Divine Kingdom chat group and the Federation’s recent counterattacks on the Fierce Beasts, the situation looked promising. If the blood rain occurs, the outcome will be disastrous.

Ji Xuan said, "The blood rain is indeed an uncontrollable factor. However, perhaps the one in the Kunlun Mountain Range might have insights into its existence.

Marshal Gu Fang, being familiar with the one in the Kunlun Mountain Range, you can inquire about the blood rain.

To prevent a sudden surge in Fierce Beasts’ strength, posing a destructive threat to the Federation, I propose that we spare no effort in eradicating all Fierce Beasts across the continents.

Even if we can’t completely wipe out these Fierce Beasts, we must ensure not a single fourth-tier Beast remains!"

"No problem!"

"As long as we can eliminate all fourth-tier Fierce Beasts, even if the blood rain descends again, it will not be as troubling!"

The leaders and marshals of other war zones nodded in deep agreement.

While the blood rain can transform the strength of the Fierce Beasts, such transformation has its limits; it could at most elevate a third-tier Beast to a fourth-tier low-grade or maybe a mid-grade.

If we can eliminate all the fourth-tier Beasts on the surface, even if the blood rain happens again, the Federation can stabilize the situation.

Subsequently.

Shangguan Hong said, "The Fierce Beasts on the continents are one thing, but exterminating the fourth-tier Beasts in the ocean is much tougher."

Hearing this, Ji Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "The ocean is vast and unfathomable, and we currently lack any definitive strategy. Initially, we’ll use satellites to lock onto the Beasts’ positions, then dispatch experts to eliminate them.

Although this method can’t ensure the complete eradication of all fourth-tier Beasts in the sea, it can at least wipe out most of them."

The ocean Beasts don’t stay submerged indefinitely; they occasionally surface or engage in battles with other Beasts.

As long as we observe via satellite and accurately capture the positions of fourth-tier Beasts, it shouldn’t be a challenge.

The only problem is that the cataclysms of the past twenty-plus years have significantly weakened human technological capabilities, and restarting global satellites will take some time.

...

The possibility of the blood rain descending again was not concealed by the Federation military but was openly announced.

Many people felt a strong sense of crisis, fearing the blood rain’s arrival could again turn humanity into prey for the Fierce Beasts.

In no time.

A large number of civilian cultivators intensified their efforts to hunt Fierce Beasts, ensuring that by the next blood rain, the Beasts’ strength would be greatly diminished.

Like the civilian cultivators, the Federation military also acted on a large scale.

Simultaneously.

Gu Fang made another visit to the Kunlun Mountain Range.

When he stepped into the Kunlun Mountain Range and saw the Azure Celestial Divine Tree, he felt an overwhelming sense of oppression akin to heavenly might, causing a shiver in his very blood.

The power of the fourth-tier Dragon Transformation Realm was already considered top-tier within the Federation.

Yet before Gu Qingyang, Gu Fang felt like not a top-tier powerhouse but an ant that had never mastered Extraordinary Power.

This sensation instilled even greater respect in Gu Fang for Gu Qingyang.

He bowed respectfully and stated his purpose: "May I ask the Divine Tree if the blood rain will descend again?"

After he spoke, an eerie silence filled the air.

A moment later, a distant voice came from the Azure Celestial Divine Tree.

"It will!"

Receiving the answer, Gu Fang’s body trembled, and he asked again, "Then, does the Divine Tree know when the blood rain will descend?"

"The blood rain’s occurrence is irregular; it could be tomorrow or not happen for another ten years."

Gu Qingyang provided a vague answer.

Although Gu Fang felt somewhat disappointed, he did not pursue the question further, instead bowing once more.

"Thank you, Divine Tree, for your guidance!"
