Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 294 - 205: Handling the Aftermath, Seeking Benefits_2

Chapter 294: Chapter 205: Handling the Aftermath, Seeking Benefits_2

Several people who were originally hesitant suddenly came to a realization, looking towards Chiyou, the Six-winged Angel, and Ice Woman with dissatisfaction.

"But what if the three of them disagree with the apocalypse plan and are unwilling to make an effort? What do we do?" The Lava Giant asked directly, never knowing what it meant to offend others.

"Then let the six of us initiate the apocalypse plan. It just means stripping away a bit more Origin Power, nobody’s going to die," Qiongqi said with a cold laugh.

"How can that be okay? That’s Origin Power. If we strip away a large amount of our own Origin Power, and they don’t..."

The Lava Giant stopped mid-sentence, a smile spreading across his face, "Hehe! I understand now."

Chiyou’s face was expressionless. If these people really intended to initiate the apocalypse plan, would he dare not participate?

Of course he wouldn’t dare.

The so-called apocalypse plan involved indiscriminately causing disturbance to the world’s Origin Power and then setting off various catastrophic natural disasters.

In fact, it was possible to manipulate which areas of the world’s Origin Power would be more violently disturbed.

Chiyou believed that if he dared not participate, the Different Space he occupied would definitely receive special attention.

By then, if the Different Space collapsed and even if he managed to escape, he would find himself targeted by the World’s Will, making it extremely difficult to recover his strength and posing a threat to his life.

"Qiongqi, look at how you phrase that, don’t make us out to be so despicable. I simply think that brother Chiyou has raised a good point," someone said.

"Since you strongly object, there’s nothing more to say. I also agree with the apocalypse plan," declared the Six-winged Angel Adams, his face showing indignation as if he had really suffered a great injustice.

As for Ice Woman, she nodded with a cold expression, "Then let’s proceed with the apocalypse plan."

At that moment, everyone’s gaze turned towards Chiyou.

"I agree as well," Chiyou said, without any expression on his face.

"Alright! The sooner we execute it, the better. Each of us will strip away Origin Power equivalent to an early-stage Eighth-Order being. How about we reconvene in three days to carry out the apocalypse plan?" Qiongqi immediately suggested.

This time, before others could speak, the Lava Giant was the first to oppose, "What a joke, you think we can strip away Origin Power in such a short time? Do you think because your domain’s Origin Power has already been damaged, you have a defeatist attitude, and want to drag us down with you?"

The Six-winged Angel Adams also spoke up, "We need at least seven days. Otherwise, we might incur additional harm. That is Origin Power we’re talking about. Every bit of loss is a great one for us."

The rest of them also voiced their opposition.

Faced with this situation, Qiongqi, though quite helpless, could only nod and agree.

Now that humanity had developed Earth-penetrating Bombs, Qiongqi dared not release its domain’s power, but during these seven days, the others could still continuously expand their domains, making Qiongqi feel at a loss.

But there was nothing Qiongqi could do about it since such matters were beyond its control.

...

Ye Feng and others, of course, were unaware of what was happening in the Different Space.

They waited outside all the while.

After waiting another two hours and seeing no reaction from the Forbidden Area, not even the leakage of Corrosive Energy, they judged that the battle had truly come to an end.

By then, after two hours of full preparation, the military’s defenses around the Forbidden Area’s perimeter had been preliminarily established, with various machine-gun emplacements, anti-aircraft positions, artillery positions, minefields, and so on, all set up.

With these fortifications, the military forces could be more cohesively integrated and mobilized, increasing their overall combat power by at least twenty percent.

Beyond this, the major troop contingent from the provincial military district finally arrived.

That was an entire army of 100,000 strong, quite different from the expanded troops of Yang City.

The soldiers from the provincial military district were all elite veterans. With an equal number of troops, their combat power was at least three times greater than that of the troops from Yang City.

It’s no exaggeration to say that with the current defensive forces here, even without Ye Feng’s help, as long as the number of Forbidden Area Creatures emerging did not exceed 1,000, they were confident they could eliminate them before they reached the defenses.

By this time, the military finally had some confidence in dealing with the Forbidden Area, unlike before when the outcome, win or lose, totally depended on the Dragon King. They did not want to experience that feeling of helplessness again.

At this moment, Fang Wei, Bai Yinghui, and Dong Ming were called over by Ye Feng.

"Parrot Messenger, what business do you have with us?" Bai Yinghui, who was most familiar with the Mutated Parrot, took the initiative to ask.

"This is the situation: more than two hours have passed, and the Forbidden Area still shows no reaction. We can almost conclude that this battle has come to an end, so our Dragon Hall is preparing to withdraw," Ye Feng said.

Upon hearing this, a sense of tension gripped the hearts of the three men.

Bai Yinghui was the first to respond, "Parrot Messenger, we really should still be cautious of deceit from the other side. If the Forbidden Area launches an attack after you withdraw, it might be dangerous."

Ye Feng glanced at him, "Didn’t you just say that with the military’s strength, you were already able to handle the Biological Army from the Forbidden Area?"

"Cough, cough!" Bai Yinghui quickly explained, "I was referring to normal circumstances, but I’m worried about special cases, like the reappearance of Seventh Order Creatures."

Besides, there were things Bai Yinghui left unsaid, such as it’s one thing to hold off an attack, but casualties were another matter entirely.

It wasn’t necessary. Who would willingly sacrifice their life?

"You can rest assured on that point. Only the forces of Dragon Hall will withdraw, while the Dragon Lord will remain in the vicinity," Ye Feng said.

Hearing this, Bai Yinghui and the others finally felt relieved.

"However..." Ye Feng slightly elongated his tone.

At once, Bai Yinghui and the others felt their hearts tighten; they least wanted to hear words like "however" and "but" at this time.

"The Dragon Lord can stay here, but there is a condition."

"Please do speak," Bai Yinghui urged.

"The victory in this battle was mainly due to the Dragon Lord’s contributions, right?" Ye Feng stated flatly.

"That’s correct!" Bai Yinghui immediately understood, "May I know how much reward your Dragon Hall would like for this occasion?"

"In terms of money, we don’t need too much; only 1 billion Huaxia currency will suffice," Ye Feng said.

Bai Yinghui nodded slightly; indeed, 1 billion was not a lot.

Given the contributions of Dragon Hall in this instance, not to mention 1 billion, even increasing it by tenfold would be reasonable.

But he knew the request would not be that simple.

As expected, Ye Feng continued, "But I have an additional requirement. Your soldiers as well as your planes and tanks are all equipped with battlefield recorders, right? Extract the video footage, compile it into a documentary, and broadcast it across various platforms, including television stations."

"Especially here in Donghai Province, the documentary should be aired once a day for at least three consecutive days."

He was doing this, of course, to harvest the Power of Faith.

After all, his total amount of the Power of Faith had dropped to one million, which, though still considerable compared to the beginning, was profoundly insufficient after having experienced the might of the Forbidden Area firsthand.

Bai Yinghui and the others looked at each other upon hearing such a request.

Was this demand high?

For some, certainly, it would be hard to fulfill, but for them, it was simply a matter of making a few calls.

However, the implications behind it were different.

Since the beginning of their collaboration with Dragon Hall, they had been continuously researching this force, particularly the Dragon King himself.

Though this research had not made much progress, it had not been without results.

Among these, the demand to construct statues warranted particular attention.

There was undoubtedly a purpose behind it.

Due to the lack of information, they were temporarily unable to discern it, but they speculated that it had something to do with the entity’s reputation or fame.

If previously this was a guess, then now, with the other party raising such a demand, it almost confirmed their speculation.

Perhaps the greater the fame of the Dragon King, the more advantageous it was for it.
