Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 72: The Gathering of the Powerful, Ancient Tree Breaks Through!

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Gathering of the Powerful, Ancient Tree Breaks Through!

...

"Yan Haiyun, third-tier middle grade: My gosh, there’s really an Otherworld invasion!"

"Yu Xiuqing, third-tier low grade: The Divine Kingdom mission offers such generous rewards; slaying Otherworldly Creatures seems to be the highest contribution, plus there’s the battle merit list..."

"Shan Qi, third-tier top grade: Can someone explain exactly what the Otherworld invasion is about and what’s the current situation on the Northern Continent?"

"Luo Chengdu, third-tier top grade: I have relatives on the Northern Continent. I heard there’s black light piercing the sky and the phenomena are extremely terrifying. It must be where the Otherworld entrance is."

"Niu Pu, second-tier consummate: Judging from the mission rewards, it seems that the Otherworld invasion is very perilous. A second-tier newbie is trembling..."

"Luo Hongchen, third-tier consummate: Is anyone forming a team to hunt Otherworldly Creatures?"

...

The entire Divine Kingdom chat group is flooded with messages about the Otherworld invasion.

Some are excited about the mission rewards from the Divine Kingdom, some are curious about the Otherworld invasion, but most feel a heavy burden on their hearts.

Generous mission rewards often indicate danger.

This is enough to show that the invaders from the Otherworld are very powerful.

Otherwise.

Why would the Divine Kingdom chat group issue such a task?

...

Federation leadership.

All the leaders meet once again.

Ji Xuan doesn’t waste words and directly says, "I believe you all understand the mission in the Divine Kingdom chat group; this battle is inevitable.

With the imminent Otherworld invasion, the Federation must firmly defend the Northern Continent and absolutely prevent the invaders from breaking through the Federation’s defenses.

Once the line is breached and the invaders gain a foothold on the Northern Continent, our problems will become severe." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Others nod in agreement.

They naturally understand what Ji Xuan means.

If the Otherworld invasion gains a foothold on the Northern Continent, reinforcements from the other side will keep coming, and without knowing their full scope, the Federation’s chances of victory are slim.

Therefore, to resist the Otherworld invasion, the enemy must be contained at the entrance; they must not establish a base on the Northern Continent.

"Moreover... Have you noticed? The requirement of the Divine Kingdom mission is to fend off the first wave of the Otherworld invasion.

Whether it is deemed a successful defense is likely based on whether the Otherworld gains a foothold on the Northern Continent or not.

Although the Divine Kingdom mission doesn’t mention a penalty for failure, it can’t be ruled out that if the mission fails, all rewards will cease."

Gu Fang looks at everyone and shares his view, adding a final note.

"There’s also another possibility — if we can’t fend off the first wave of the Otherworld attack, the Federation might be destroyed as a result.

Thus, there would naturally be no so-called penalty for failure.

Because the destruction of the Federation is itself the greatest penalty!"

Destruction of the Federation!

Others hear this and take a deep breath.

A middle-aged marshal says solemnly, "Marshal Gu Fang is correct, there’s nothing more to say now; immediately dispatch all cultivators to resist.

Also, regarding that individual in the Kunlun Divine Realm, should we request their assistance? If that individual can help, we will have considerably better chances!"

The individual they’re referring to is, of course, Gu Qingyang.

When the beast tide struck, the Federation was on the brink of destruction; it was he who shattered the Fierce Beasts in the Kunlun Mountain Range, slaying the top ten Fierce Beasts on the list, and decisively smashing the beast tide.

Otherwise.

The Federation would have been wiped out over a decade ago, with no current scenario.

His strength was unfathomable even back then; now, establishing the Divine Kingdom chat group and residing in the Kunlun Divine Realm, it’s unknown what level he has reached.

One thing they’re convinced of is that his strength is at least at the fifth tier, very likely at the sixth tier, or even higher.

If he can assist, the Federation will undoubtedly have a strong backing.

Gu Fang shakes his head slightly: "Humanity must ultimately rely on themselves; depending solely on that individual would limit human growth in the future.

Moreover, with the establishment of the Kunlun Divine Realm, we don’t even have the qualifications to enter.

However, if the Otherworld invasion is truly unstoppable, I believe he would not sit idly by, yet for now, resisting the first wave of invasion must rely on the Federation itself."

Even though Gu Fang’s belief in Gu Qingyang is devout, he still believes that the hope should be placed not in the Divine Spirits but in fighting with their own strength.

If there’s always reliance on external forces, even if today’s invasion is defeated, what about future crises?

If there’s an issue that even the one in the Kunlun Divine Realm cannot resolve, humanity would be doomed.

Yang Yan nods in deep agreement: "Marshal Gu is right, we cannot completely rely on the Kunlun Divine Realm, and the existence of the Divine Kingdom chat group has already given humanity a chance.

As the saying goes, ’A well-prepared army can prevail in war’; the current Otherworld invasion is the Federation’s best grindstone."

Soon.

The Federation meeting concludes.

All core forces from the eighteen war zones are dispatched to the Northern Continent to repel the Otherworld invasion; simultaneously, the Federation’s military issues a call, enlisting civilian cultivators to join the battle.

Once the call is announced, many respond enthusiastically, but there are also a fair number who are confident in their own strength, disdain to collaborate with the military, and venture alone to the Northern Continent.

It can be said.

In just a day or two, more than half of the Federation’s cultivators head to the Northern Continent, leaving only a portion of first and second-tier cultivators who consider themselves insufficiently skilled and remain unmoved on the Eastern Continent.

...

Kunlun Divine Realm.

Gu Qingyang, as the Heavenly Dao Agent, can certainly see all matters in the Cyan Yang Realm clearly. When he sees all the Federation’s strong warriors heading to the Northern Continent, he likewise turns his gaze to the Northern Continent.

The chaotic and distorted space gradually stabilizes, and the sky-piercing black light slowly dissipates.

Gu Qingyang understands that this is not a sign of the Otherworld entrance failing to open but rather a sign that it is about to succeed.

Once all spatial turbulence subsides, the Otherworld invasion will begin.

Thinking of this.

Gu Qingyang turns his gaze to the Evergreen Ancient Tree and other creatures.

"Currently, the Human Federation’s strength is not too strong; the first wave of the Otherworld invasion will surely be significant, and the Kunlun Divine Realm cannot completely remain in the rear.

However... the five mid-tier fourth-grade Ancient Trees are somewhat lacking in strength; since that’s the case, let’s enhance their power first then!"

With a thought, Gu Qingyang directly uses 150 million faith to exchange for five top-tier fourth-grade Realm-Breaking Pills, supplying them to the Evergreen Ancient Tree and other creatures for breakthroughs.

After consuming the top-tier fourth-grade Realm-Breaking Pills, the Ancient Trees tremble violently, releasing a more powerful aura that causes the entire Kunlun Divine Realm to slightly shake.

In just a moment, including the Evergreen Ancient Tree, all five Ancient Trees advance from mid-tier fourth grade to top-tier fourth grade, with their powerful aura permeating the entire Kunlun Divine Realm.
