Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 968 - 554: Homeward Heart

"What on earth is going on?" Zhang Tiangang had a vague guess in his heart, but he dared not be sure.

"Haven’t you realized yet? This is my Inner World, otherwise, why would I claim to be the World Tree?" Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Inner World!" Zhang Tiangang repeated in a low voice.

He looked again at the not-so-vast Heaven and Earth, his gaze becoming eager.

At this moment, how could he not understand what this meant?

When the cosmic calamity arrived, no matter how sturdy the shelter built, it would be worn down little by little.

In this situation, it was all about the foundation.

The more resources you had stored, the longer you could hold out compared to others.

But the problem was, the resources that could withstand the cosmic calamity were the most expensive and limited in quantity.

The more you took, the less others had.

Even if their status was that of Elders of the Four Great Daoist Authorities, the reality was that in competition with other Elders, the resources available to them were limited.

If the restart of the universe was relatively short, only a few decades or millions of years, they might be able to hold on.

But if it extended to hundreds of millions, or even billions of years, then they were definitely doomed.

But it was different with Ye Feng, he possessed a not-so-small Inner World, which meant that he needn’t worry about resource distribution at all.

As long as he took his subordinates into this Inner World, all the resources of his force could be unified.

Greatly increasing the probability, of surviving the cosmic calamity.

Moreover, they hadn’t forgotten that he possessed one of the Five Great Supreme Rules, the Space Rule.

If he could manage a breakthrough to the Higher Gods in the last few decades, his strength would become stronger than any Sect Leader of the Four Great Daoist Authorities.

By then, with formidable strength and abundant resources, the probability of surviving the cosmic calamity, even if not a hundred percent, would be ninety percent.

After realizing all this, Zhang Tiangang and the other three exchanged looks again, seemingly perceiving each other’s relief and elation.

At this moment, they completely acknowledged Ye Feng.

The small resentment captured in their hearts also completely dissipated.

This direct manifestation was naturally reflected in their Loyalty, which soared rapidly.

The fastest growing Yan Hu, Loyalty had risen to 70%.

Even the slowest, Zhang Tiangang, had reached 68%

According to Ye Feng’s past experience, generally once Loyalty exceeded 70%, it meant that the other party not only acknowledged him but also considered his interests in their actions.

It could be said that the objective of this trip had been achieved, but for Ye Feng, it was not yet over.

"It appears that everyone has understood what this Inner World means."

"As long as you follow me, you will never have to worry about the cosmic calamity in the future."

"In fact, if you perform well, I can even help you reach the Higher Gods," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Among them, Yan Hu was the first to express his stance, "Master, rest assured, starting today if you command me to go east, I will never go west. I will organize all the important intelligence of the Youluo Sect and deliver them to you shortly."

"As long as we endure this period, once master breaks through to Higher Gods, even the coalition of the Four Great Daoist Authorities will not be a match for us."

Seeing Yan Hu’s attitude, which had taken a 180-degree turn, Zhang Tiangang and the others viewed him with disdain but also a bit of annoyance.

To this, Yan Hu did not feel anything was wrong.

Although the four of them were Elders of their respective Daoist Authorities, there were differences among Elders too.

In the Youluo Sect, he was just an ordinary Fifth Elder.

Even because he was not skilled in frontal combat, his status among the elders of the Youluo Sect had been close to the bottom.

That was precisely why he valued power more, and now that such a rare opportunity had arisen, he naturally would not let it slip by.

The remaining three, although they were a step slower, also understood by this time that they needed to express their stance and all declared their willingness to offer intelligence and follow Ye Feng’s commands.

"Very good, everyone is very enlightened. Also, there is no need to call me master, just call me by my name or Courtyard Lord."

"From now on, you are also part of the Heavenly Court."

"As for the issue with the Four Great Daoist Authorities, you don’t really need to worry, I don’t need to wait to break through to Higher Gods. As soon as I reach the True God Realm, I am fully confident that I can suppress them," Ye Feng said.

"This... Courtyard Lord, we still need to be cautious. Although you possess a Supreme Rule, you might be able to bridge the gap with the Higher Gods."

"But if they make a move, it will surely involve a coalition of the Four Great Daoist Authorities, and I suspect they might even deploy a Formation, two fists can’t fight against four hands!" Yan Hu observed Ye Feng’s expression, advising him.

"I know the gap between a True God and Higher Gods is huge, I’ve even experienced it firsthand."

"But what if I tell you, that among the Five Great Supreme Rules, I have mastered not only the Space Rule but also the Life Rule!"

As Ye Feng spoke, he conjured a large cluster of Life Energy in the incredulous eyes of the others.

With a motion of his fingers, this Life Energy instantly split into four, merging into the bodies of the four men.

Instantly, their grievously injured bodies revived as if parched earth soaked by sweet rain. The broken bones, shattered organs, and torn meridians inside them all recovered at an astonishing speed.

If it was just this, it would still be astonishing, but what surprised them even more was the Divine Statue, which typically could only be repaired with Holy Medicine.

As a vibrant Rule Power infused it, the cracks were also healing.

By this time, they finally realized why, during their fight with him, his tree roots could recover at such a terrifying speed.

It turned out that he had also mastered the Life Rule.

The legendary control over the Life Rule was akin to having an Undead Body, and it could even resurrect the dead.

Ye Feng merely treated them for about ten seconds before stopping.

"My avatar can mobilize too little power, but this should be enough for your injuries to fully recover," Ye Feng said.

As Ye Feng finished speaking, a slight Spatial Fluctuation appeared before each person, and suddenly there were 10 Fruits of Life in front of each.

These Fruits of Life were not only of Tenth Order Level but each was also an enhanced version, the kind where one equaled ten.

The men hastily reached out to receive them, feeling the vibrant Life Energy within and their hearts stirred with emotion.

And this direct expression was reflected in their Loyalty on the panel, which once again shot up, all surpassing 75%.
