Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 71: Black Light Pierces the Sky, Otherworld Invasion!

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Black Light Pierces the Sky, Otherworld Invasion!

"Boom!"

The space shatters, and a terrifying force erupts from the depths of the Northern Continent. A black light shoots straight to the sky, instantly changing the color of the world, darkening the sun and moon.

The entire Northern Continent seems to be violently shaking, and all the Federation troops stationed there immediately change their expressions.

"What happened!"

"Quick, investigate the situation immediately..."

A fourth-level female cultivator looks in the direction where the black light is shooting up. The aura emanating from there makes her feel a deep sense of dread.

If she were hit by that force, it would take no more than a breath for her to turn completely into ashes.

Suddenly.

The military personnel stationed at the Northern Continent go to investigate, while also reporting the situation there as soon as possible to higher-ups.

In fact, even without a report, the Federation military is already aware of this matter.

Because the black light piercing the sky is an enormous anomaly.

Even though they’re on other continents and can’t witness this phenomenon firsthand, observing it via satellite is no difficult task.

Especially since the Otherworld news got out, the Federation military constantly observes global dynamics so they can be the first to know when an Otherworld Gate appears.

...

Federation Headquarters.

All the leaders are gathered via video conference, and each person’s expression is extremely grim, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.

"The latest news is that a black light has pierced the sky over the Northern Continent. From satellite observations, this black light pierces through the atmospheric restraints with extraordinary force.

If I’m not wrong, this black light is likely related to the Otherworld Gate!"

Ji Xuan wastes no words and gets straight to the point.

The others hearing this show no sign of shock; they already knew this information before the meeting started.

Shangguan Hong slightly parts her red lips, her voice cold: "To determine if it’s the Otherworld Gate, we just need to submit a task and check."

"That’s indeed a viable method!"

Ji Xuan nods, but just as he finishes speaking, he sees Gu Fang smiling slightly: "Correct, that is indeed the Otherworld Gate!"

Just now, he directly submitted the task and received eight million contribution points from the Divine Kingdom chat group.

Upon hearing this, everyone else looks slightly displeased.

Goodness.

While they were having a meeting, this guy secretly completed the task.

Thinking about the eight million contribution points falling into Gu Fang’s hands, the others feel an urge to beat their chests in frustration.

Loss!

A complete loss!

Even Ji Xuan didn’t expect Gu Fang to act this quickly, submitting the task without a shred of hesitation.

Seeing the others’ expressions, Gu Fang smiles calmly: "The news of the black light piercing the sky won’t stay hidden; if someone else submits the task first, we’ll end up with nothing.

Though the Ninth Combat Zone completed this task first, every combat zone will receive three hundred thousand contribution points."

Saying this.

The expressions of the others improve significantly.

Though three hundred thousand contribution points aren’t much, accumulating across seventeen zones amounts to five million one hundred thousand contribution points, meaning the Ninth Combat Zone effectively earned two million nine hundred thousand contribution points.

Compared to the Ninth Combat Zone taking all eight million, this result is undoubtedly satisfactory to them.

"Ahem!"

Ji Xuan clears his throat, refocusing everyone’s attention. When all eyes are back on him, he speaks again.

"Marshal Gu’s approach is commendable. Now that we’ve confirmed the appearance of the Otherworld Gate, we need to address the issue of an Otherworld invasion. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

"I believe..."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately share their opinions.

Everyone has different views, contributing to the rambunctious nature of the discussion at the Federation headquarters meeting.

...

Kunlun Divine Realm.

At the moment the black light pierces the sky, Gu Qingyang’s gaze falls upon the fractured space, witnessing the force of the Heavenly Dao destroying the space and transforming it into a bizarre, twisted portal.

Behind the portal is the unmistakable aura of the Otherworld.

Though the portal before him leads to the Otherworld, it doesn’t mean the Otherworld is directly next to the Cyan Yang realm. In fact, the Two Realms might be far apart.

The portal essentially serves as a transport gate. Once entered, it allows one to cross endless void, stepping directly into another world.

Gu Qingyang’s gaze rests on the portal, the twisted space blocking his vision as if trying to completely isolate any semblance of investigation.

But with the activation of the Eye of Heavenly Dao, Gu Qingyang seems capable of penetrating the endless void to see what’s behind the portal.

There.

Numerous strong warriors exist.

Though Gu Qingyang cannot clearly see them, based on the perceived aura, there are many third and fourth-level beings, and those stronger than fourth level as well.

"So this is the power of the Otherworld?"

Gu Qingyang’s mind grows solemn; just from sensing alone, there’s a presence suspected to be fifth level, and it’s possible this isn’t the strongest entity in the Otherworld. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

After all, a first-tier world can accommodate ninth-level cultivators, so no one can confidently say whether a ninth-level being exists in that Otherworld realm or not.

The appearance of suspected fifth-level beings is both bad news and good news.

"In three days, the Otherworld Gate will fully open, and an Otherworld invasion is inevitable. This is the greatest test for the Cyan Yang realm.

If the first wave of attacks can’t be withstood, everything will be in vain!"

Looking at the portal on the Northern Continent, and the Otherworld powerhouses behind it, Gu Qingyang’s long calm spirit stirs with a surge of battle intent.

The outcome of this battle is unknown, but Gu Qingyang knows he can only win, not lose, because defeat leaves no retreat.

Defeat.

Means death.

Gu Qingyang doesn’t want to die, so he must win this battle.

In a flash.

Gu Qingyang issues the fourth Divine Kingdom task.

...

"The Otherworld Gate has opened on the Northern Continent. The Cyan Yang realm stands at a life-or-death crossroads; all creatures in the Cyan Yang realm must take up arms and expel the Otherworldly creatures!"

"Task requirements: Withstand the first wave of the Otherworld invasion. The more Otherworldly creatures slain during this time, the richer the rewards!"

"Task Reward 1: Slaying a first-level creature earns fifty contribution points, a second-level earns five hundred, a third-level earns five thousand, a fourth-level earns fifty thousand, and a fifth-level earns five hundred thousand contribution points!"

"Task Reward 2: Driving back the Otherworld invasion, the one ranked first in battle achievements will receive ten million contribution points, the top ten will receive five million, the top thirty will receive three million, the top fifty will receive two million, the top hundred will receive one million, and all participants will receive one hundred thousand contribution points!"

"Note: Otherworldly creatures are extremely powerful; do not underestimate them!"

With the release of the Divine Kingdom task, the entire globe, and thus the entire Cyan Yang realm, becomes fervently active.
