Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 84: Divine Emperor Gu Qingyang

No one expected that Ji Xuan could actually invite Gu Qingyang.

Regarding this.

Ji Xuan was taking a gamble.

From the battle against the Otherworld invasion, it could be seen that when the Evergreen Ancient Tree and others couldn’t withstand the Otherworld experts, Gu Qingyang made a timely move, striking just at the right moment.

So Ji Xuan suspected that the other party might have always been watching over the Northern Continent.

Even though the Northern Continent is far from the Eastern Continent, the means of such experts are unfathomable, beyond common reasoning.

"I have no objections concerning the matters of the Cyan Yang Divine Court. With the integration of the eighteen war zones, I will be the Master of the Divine Court, and you will be the Divine Court Elders. Routine Divine Court affairs will be handled by the Elders.

Unless necessary, I will not interfere in Divine Court matters."

Gu Qingyang’s calm gaze fell on each person, making them feel an inexplicable pressure, their blood and energy becoming stagnant.

Upon hearing these words, everyone bowed respectfully: "We heed the Divine Emperor’s decree!"

At this moment.

No one referred to him as the Divine Tree anymore but changed to call him Divine Emperor.

Because the other party is the Master of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, it is natural to honor him with the title of Divine Emperor.

Regarding this.

Gu Qingyang nodded slightly.

Divine Emperor Gu Qingyang!

The title is indeed fitting.

"The five Ancient Trees of the Kunlun Divine Realm can remain and assist the Divine Court in suppressing the Otherworld Gate. You may decide on the specific arrangements yourselves.

Additionally... my name is Gu Qingyang!"

As Gu Qingyang finished speaking, his figure slowly vanished from sight.

After Gu Qingyang left, the terrifying pressure in the tent truly dissipated, and everyone finally relaxed from their tense state.

This pressure was not intentionally released by Gu Qingyang; it was the divine radiance from his body, making everyone weaker than him feel a strong oppression, and hence, an inherent reverence.

"I trust everyone understands the Divine Emperor’s words. As of today, there are no longer the eighteen war zones of the Federation, only the Cyan Yang Divine Court, and we all serve as the Elders of the Divine Court.

The next step is to integrate all war zones. Any opposition must be suppressed; no one can obstruct the establishment of the Divine Court!"

Ji Xuan spoke solemnly to those present.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Subsequently.

Ji Xuan added: "With an Otherworld Gate in the Northern Continent, should the Otherworld invade again one day, this place will surely be at the forefront.

The Divine Emperor left the five Ancient Trees of the Kunlun Divine Realm to guard the Otherworld Gate. I believe it’s better to use the Ancient Trees as a foundation to establish five cities.

These five cities will exist to guard the Cyan Yang Realm, and in the future, they will serve as strategic supply points for attacking the Otherworld, allowing the swift dispatch of experts through the Otherworld Gate to support!"

"I have no objections."

Gu Fang was the first to nod in agreement.

Being passive and defensive was not their style. The Otherworld invasion today had caused great losses to the Cyan Yang Realm, and this grudge would certainly be avenged in the future.

Moreover, the Otherworld Gate was already open, predestining that there could be no reconciliation between the Two Realms.

One day.

There will inevitably be a great war between the two worlds.

Either the Otherworld conquers the entire Cyan Yang Realm, or the Cyan Yang Realm conquers the entire Otherworld; there is no third possibility.

However, the Cyan Yang Divine Court is currently weak; proactively attacking is temporarily impossible and defense must take priority.

With the Ancient Tree as a backing and the establishment of five cities, if the Otherworld invades again, it is certain they can be contained within the Northern Continent and prevent it from spreading across the entire Cyan Yang Realm.

With Gu Fang nodding in agreement, the others also expressed their consent.

Ji Xuan’s proposal was unanimously passed by all the Elders.

...

The tasks ahead became much simpler.

At the first opportunity.

Ji Xuan, along with Gu Fang and others, appeared simultaneously to announce the abolition of the Federation’s eighteen war zones and the establishment of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, with the Master of the Divine Kingdom Chat Group serving as the Master of the Divine Court, and the rest of the war zone marshals as Divine Court Elders.

Thus.

The five words "Divine Emperor Gu Qingyang" were truly spread.

The anticipated upheaval by Ji Xuan and others did not occur; not even within the Federation did anyone voice opposition. At this moment, they realized that Gu Qingyang had already won people’s hearts, his prestige having reached its peak.

If the Master of the Divine Court were someone else, it would certainly cause a great uproar, at least from the zones with former fallen leaders, who would certainly not easily agree.

But since the Master of the Divine Court is Gu Qingyang, there were no such obstacles.

In less than three days, the Federation’s eighteen war zones had become a thing of the past, and the Cyan Yang Divine Court was officially established.

During this time.

The Cyan Yang Divine Court even personally held a ceremony, and Gu Qingyang, rarely, sent an avatar to appear before the people, once again causing quite a sensation.

After completing these.

Ji Xuan and the Divine Court Elders began focusing on the city-building matters.

The five Ancient Trees served as the foundation for establishing five cities, existing to suppress the Otherworld Gate.

For a time.

The entire Cyan Yang Divine Court was bustling with activity, and the sorrow brought by the war had significantly lessened.

...

Kunlun Divine Realm.

Gu Qingyang observed the changes within the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court, and he felt very calm inside.

"Cyan Yang Divine Court, in this way, I am now fully tied together with the humans of this realm!"

Regarding this.

Gu Qingyang did not mind.

He used human faith to enhance himself, while humans used his power for protection; the two were inherently symbiotic, so the relationship further deepening posed no problem.

Additionally.

Gu Qingyang was quite fond of the title "Divine Emperor."

With the emergence of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, Gu Qingyang discovered another benefit: the quality of believers increased significantly, with the number of Saint Apprentices rising from less than a thousand to five digits.

After the battle with Gu Tiangang, Gu Qingyang found that the number of his Saint Apprentices had multiplied several times.

Unexpectedly, after the establishment of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, the number of Saint Apprentices surged once again.

Up to now.

The total number of all Saint Apprentices has reached 23,000.

Moreover, this number continues to grow, with more than a dozen Saint Apprentices appearing almost every minute.

Gu Qingyang estimated that at this rate, his number of Saint Apprentices might very well exceed 100,000.

If the number of Saint Apprentices could exceed 100,000, Gu Qingyang’s speed in harvesting faith would accelerate greatly.

By then.

The time required to advance to the fifth-rank Divine Kingdom would be significantly reduced.

Of course.

Gu Qingyang was not in a hurry to advance to the fifth-rank Divine Kingdom now.

Firstly, he had already broken through to rank six, and the fifth-rank Divine Kingdom wouldn’t bring a significant change in strength.

At the same time, the strongest beings in the entire Cyan Yang Realm now, not counting the likes of the Evergreen Ancient Tree, were led by Gu Fang, who had just broken through to the mid-fourth rank.

Progression at the fourth rank is different from the third; each step of advancement requires a long time for refinement. Until a fourth-rank Perfected cultivator emerges, Gu Qingyang doesn’t need to rush to advance to the fifth-rank Divine Kingdom.

After all, without a fourth-rank Perfected cultivator, a fifth-rank Divine Kingdom would be merely ostentatious, offering little more than enhancing Gu Qingyang’s Divine Soul without significant utility.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingyang calmed his mind and looked at his data panel.
