Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 331 - 222 The Only Way to Break the Game_2

It could be said that at this time, for some small countries, problems such as staying warm were the least of their concerns, as the supply of essential items like food and clothing could not be assured for residents.

Therefore, residents of some countries have been freezing to death in massive numbers.

After browsing through these news articles, Ye Feng’s mood became somewhat heavy as well; he was also unclear about how many people would die after the disaster passed.

But one thing was certain: the comprehensive strength of nations would inevitably plummet, and the decline in national power would also affect the economy and military.

So, after the disaster ended, how many countries would have the ability to blockade those restricted areas?

After a long silence, Ye Feng intended to shut off his cellphone, but at that moment, he noticed the Power of Faith converging on the Mutated King Cobra was suddenly surging in speed.

He was somewhat surprised but soon found the reason.

Several pieces of news rapidly climbed the trending searches list and reached the top ten within a short span of ten minutes or so.

#Dragon King acts again, letting Yang City see the light of day.#

#Where is the limit of the Dragon King? Could Divine Spirits from ancient times truly reshape Heaven and Earth?#

#Yang City implements visitor restrictions, registration required before entry.#

Ye Feng opened these news articles and saw, beyond a doubt, that they were about his recent actions.

Beneath these articles were numerous videos, most of which were recorded on cellphones. Although the footage wasn’t very clear, it was still staggering.

A Dense Fog Giant, ten thousand meters in length, circled above Yang City three times before crashing into the clouds above.

Then the thick clouds dispersed, allowing sunlight to shine down upon the Earth once again, even the snow and wind came to a halt.

The video continued to show countless people leaving their homes, a scene filled with laughter and cheerfulness.

"Why does this scene feel like the ending of a disaster movie to me, so enviable!" someone commented acidly in the comment section.

"For the residents of Yang City, isn’t it indeed the end of a disaster? I looked at the dark sky outside my window, then at their brilliant sunlight, and I almost died of envy," another person chimed in immediately.

"Some people used to compare the other Fifth Order Beings with the Dragon King, but now it seems laughable. What can those Fifth Order Beings do? Can they help fend off major earthquakes? Can they control the weather?"

Ye Feng, reading the comments below, couldn’t help but smile when he saw so many people acknowledging him.

At the same time, he also had to admit that he had somewhat underestimated the impact of this event.

Even in terms of offering the Power of Faith, this incident had surpassed the influence of him fending off the earthquake.

Because as of yesterday, the Yang City Official had already released the documentary.

But as Liu Zaoxin had said at the start, its impact was limited.

Ye Feng felt that there were two reasons for this. First, the news of the earthquake’s end had spread, and after that, even if people watched the documentary and got the full story, the shock had already worn off.

As for the second reason, it naturally came down to the fact that the cold had started creeping in last night, and when people’s own basic needs were not yet met, they naturally didn’t have much interest in paying attention to things on the internet.

But now it was different.

Currently, everyone was in the midst of the cold, while Yang City was enjoying bright sunshine. Such a stark contrast would make anyone envious.

Ye Feng observed the speed at which the Power of Faith was converging for a bit and saw that it was now increasing by nearly ten million every hour.

Although it would certainly decline later, Ye Feng felt that the impact of this event would bring at least 300 million Power of Faith in the next few days.

With this thought, Ye Feng’s spirits lifted significantly—the reserves of the Power of Faith were his backing in these current times!

Ye Feng browsed through the comments for a while longer before finally turning off his phone.

Contemplating the rapidly increasing Power of Faith, Ye Feng was hesitant about whether to continue expanding the range of his temperature control.

According to his estimates, he could envelop the entire Donglin Mountain Range if he spent 5 million Power of Faith per hour.

"No, the consumption is too great. To maintain this for a day would require 120 million Power of Faith, which would probably be too much to bear," Ye Feng sighed as he looked towards the rest of the Donglin Mountain Range.

However, he could not afford to do nothing, so he issued a command to all of his Contracted Animals.

He ordered them to lead the Animal Legion out, and herd all the animals within the Donglin Mountain Range to this area bathed in sunlight.

In fact, before Ye Feng gave his order, many animals had already migrated to this region.

But the scope of the Donglin Mountain Range was vast, and with the cold wave’s arrival accompanied by a raging blizzard, visibility was severely hindered, and distant regions of the mountain range couldn’t see the situation in this direction.

Once he had herded the animals from the Donglin Mountain Range over, Ye Feng planned to have the Animal Legion sweep through the mountains and forests of the surrounding cities, trying to bring back as many of the nearby animals as possible.

"Being able to provide shelter for the animals from a few neighboring cities is about the limit of what I can do," Ye Feng exhaled softly.

And he could only help the animals; as for the plants, he truly was powerless.

Even though the area he was currently controlling temperature for covered one-third of the Donglin Mountain Range, which was already incredibly extensive—this territory was even more than five times the size of Yang City.

The range was so vast that it exceeded the maximum distance his roots could extend, which meant it was already sufficient for his cultivation.

But Ye Feng was well aware that this was only for now.

With each major advancement in order, the length of his roots would increase manifold; he wouldn’t be surprised if they could cover the entire Donglin Mountain Range by the time he reached Sixth Order.

Being unable to save these plants in the Donglin Mountain Range now was a great loss to him.

"I hope you can hold on! Even if just half of the plants survive, it would be good," Ye Feng prayed silently to himself.

Meanwhile, his spiritual power swept over these plants. In the areas he wasn’t controlling the temperature, temperatures had already fallen to minus 5 degrees Celsius due to the arrival of the cold current.

Although that might not sound too low, it was a different story amid the blizzard. If a normal person stood in this environment without proper protection, they wouldn’t last long before they froze stiff.

The plants weren’t faring much better. The cold wind shook the trees incessantly, and some low-lying shrubs had even been buried under the accumulated snow.

However, Ye Feng also perceived the tenacity of life within these plants. Even in such harsh conditions, they were desperately absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the air to resist the cold.

And not just plants, many animals and insects sheltering under the trees were doing the same thing.

This was the advantage of the mutated flora and fauna. As their bodies became stronger through evolution, the Spiritual Energy also protected them from freezing, increasing their chances of survival.

Ye Feng had also noticed that some plants that would normally shed leaves in winter, such as maple trees, were showing no intention of shedding leaves to absorb more Spiritual Energy.

Witnessing these phenomena, Ye Feng initially marveled at the stubbornness of life, but then he was struck by a sudden realization.

It was as if a lightning bolt had shot through his mind, an idea emerging.

His eyes brightened, "Right, why didn’t I think of this before? If these mutated creatures can rely on absorbing Spiritual Energy to withstand the severe cold..."

"Then as long as they absorb more Spiritual Energy, their chances of surviving this disaster will increase."

As to how to enable these mutated creatures to absorb more Spiritual Energy, others might be clueless, but Ye Feng was different.

If he started the fourth Spiritual Energy Resurgence ahead of schedule, then the concentration of Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth would surely surge, allowing these plants and animals to absorb more Spiritual Energy.
