Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 779 - 441 Huge Opportunity_1

Perhaps ordinary citizens can only see the immediate crisis, but these human top-level leaders had long set their sights on the future.

Therefore, they were very clear about where the real crisis of humanity truly originated.

Naturally, it was those top-notch powerhouses.

In the past, their concerns revolved around those forbidden areas, but now that the Nine Major Forbidden Areas are intimidated by the Dragon King and Ye Feng’s authority and dare not emerge, it naturally allowed them to breathe a long sigh of relief.

But this solution only addressed near-term worries; they naturally still harbored fears for the future, namely the extraterrestrial beings.

While the matter of the extraterrestrial beings had not been made public, the human top-level leaders of various forces had actually gained some understanding of it.

After all, how had those Forbidden Area Masters come into being? If one simply pondered this point, one should be able to surmise quite a bit.

Furthermore, the extraterrestrial beings had even boldly revealed themselves directly in the Land of Inheritance, and this event was not overly concealed, so anyone with the right channels could find out about it.

However, that was all they knew; how powerful those extraterrestrial powerhouses were and how numerous they were remained unknown.

One thing was certain: in terms of both number and threat, the extraterrestrial powerhouses were beyond anything the forbidden areas could compare to.

So, regardless of worries about the future or other considerations, cultivating strong individuals was now the only way forward, in order to have a means of self-protection when those extraterrestrial beings arrived.

Initially, all forces and nations believed that by investing sufficient resources, they could cultivate powerful individuals.

At least until the Sixth Order, that was their belief, whether the cultivation pace was slow or a bottleneck was encountered, there were hardly any problems strange flowers and rare fruits couldn’t resolve.

Especially after the fifth Spiritual Energy Resurgence, areas rich in Spiritual Energy were even more likely to naturally give rise to strange flowers and rare fruits.

It was also because of the discovery of these resources that everyone was quite optimistic, believing that with such momentum, strong figures would soon emerge.

After all, following the fifth Spiritual Energy Resurgence, the number of Sixth Order Prowess figures had surged dramatically.

The number of humanity breaking through to the Sixth Order Peak each day was estimated to be no less than 1,000 people.

In other words, in just these two months, the number had increased by a total of 60,000 Sixth Order Peak powerhouses.

But as two months passed, despite such a vast base, not a single person had managed to comprehend the rules and break through to the Seventh Order.

It could be said that it was only at this point that everyone came to realize the harsh truth and understand just how difficult it was to bridge the gap between the Sixth and Seventh Order.

Even online, some pessimistic comments had begun to appear.

More shockingly, doomsday predictions were fermenting.

Luckily, the governments had contingency plans and quickly carried out post deletions and guidance, preventing any significant unrest.

But everyone understood that such a situation couldn’t continue indefinitely.

Moreover, even if there were no internal issues within the Human Race, the extraterrestrial beings existed as an objective reality and were bound to attack once the time came.

Ye Feng, however, seemed to be in high spirits as he arrived at Liu Zaoxin’s office when everyone else in humanity was shrouded in gloom.

"Eh! What brings the wind that has blown our General Ye over here? And seeing that smile, could it be that you have some good news?" Liu Zaoxin greeted Ye Feng with enthusiasm, invited him to take a seat, and asked.

Ye Feng was like a Needle of Sea Stabilizer; even he wouldn’t dare to disturb General Ye for no reason, and it had been almost half a month since they had seen each other.

"Yes! There is indeed good news," Ye Feng nodded in confirmation.

Liu Zaoxin had asked casually, but upon hearing Ye Feng’s response, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Given Ye Feng’s level and perspective, something he considered good news was undoubtedly a major event for others.

"What good news? What would make you take a special trip here? Don’t tell me you have achieved another breakthrough in your cultivation?" Liu Zaoxin asked with a face full of anticipation.

"Not quite, but if the following matters proceed smoothly, then it should be soon," said Ye Feng, touching his nose.

During the past month, he had elevated the Space Transfer Rule, Illusion Territory Rule, and Thunder Rules he had mastered to the Rule Realm Tenth Layer.

By all rights, he could break through to the Eighth Order at any time, but without having comprehended the Supreme Rule, he was not willing to break through.

Of course, he was also making efforts in this regard; he had already mastered the Spatial Cutting Rule.

However, despite using the Void-splitting Divine Spear for an entire month, he had not gained entry to the Space Tear and Space Crush Rules.

Naturally, Ye Feng had not gone without any gains in a month; in fact, he had become increasingly familiar with both types of rules.

It was only that the path forward was still obscured by a mist, and he was just short of that final clarity.

Of course, Ye Feng was aware that this was the typical situation for other Sixth Order Prowess individuals when it came to comprehending rules.

But as for when one could truly grasp the fundamentals, even Ye Feng found it hard to say.

He was now seeking out Liu Zaoxin and speaking of close success because the fruits of the Origin Life Fruit were on the verge of maturing.

He could sense once again the intense fluctuations of rules that came with the sorrow of Heaven and Earth.

On hearing Ye Feng say a breakthrough was imminent, Liu Zaoxin’s face couldn’t help but show a look of delight.

"Good, good, good," Liu Zaoxin clapped his hands excitedly and then asked, "If you break through to the Eighth Order, you should have the confidence to deal with those extraterrestrial powerhouses, right?"
