Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 358 - 236: The Giant Dragon Attacks, Europe Seeks Help_1

Having assessed his own strength, Ye Feng naturally turned to the next task—harvesting Spiritual Energy.

Not harvesting these energies meant loss for Ye Feng with every second he delayed.

Moreover, he was eager to see how much Spiritual Energy he could harvest per hour with his current 27.5 kilometers of tree roots after his next breakthrough.

minutes later, Ye Feng finished harvesting and quickly came up with the results.

He could gain 101,750 points of Spiritual Energy each hour, which amounted to 2.442 million points a day.

"Very good! My Spiritual Energy income has increased significantly," Ye Feng nodded, quite pleased.

What satisfied him even more, however, was the continuous stream of Power of Faith still flowing in.

Although it had diminished slightly, he was still able to gain more than 8 million points of Power of Faith every hour.

"I feel that this breakthrough alone should increase my Power of Faith by at least 150 million."

"After the next breakthrough to Late Stage Sixth Order and Sixth Order Peak, I’ll be able to demonstrate a ’miracle’ again. Even though the effect will surely weaken, I should still get around 100 million," Ye Feng estimated in his mind.

Moreover, now that he had the approval of Heaven and Earth’s will, his consumption had significantly decreased. Even if he continued to expand the area of his temperature control, the Power of Faith would support his consumption for the next month or more.

After Ye Feng’s breakthrough was complete, it inevitably sparked another round of heated discussions online.

"I’ve just measured the height of the Mutated Iron Birch Tree—it’s reached 5,585 meters, growing a whopping 1,500 meters in 6 hours. Impressive!" a post appeared with exact figures.

"Yeah, if I remember correctly, the height of the Tree King in the Amazon Jungle announced before was only around 1,500 meters, right? These 6 hours are equal to the height of one Tree King, tsk tsk tsk!" someone commented immediately.

"Those are figures from over a week ago; with the fourth Spiritual Energy Resurgence, it must have grown a lot!" remarked a netizen.

Seeing this comment, someone in the comments section quickly retorted, "That’s not necessarily true. From what I understand, these plants seem to grow rapidly only when they are breaking through a Realm."

And this comment received validation from experts, "Indeed, according to my knowledge, the mutated plants within Hua Country’s borders are mostly Second Stage."

"However, the mutated plants in the Amazon Jungle are largely Two Three Order, and as for that Tree King, it’s very likely that it has broken through to Fourth Order, which is why it’s grown so high."

Even after his statement, he attached a series of data.

Following this expert’s post, the comments section immediately garnered a slew of responses.

"That Tree King is actually Fourth Order? Then, what Order are the companion plants of the Dragon King? Fifth Order or Sixth Order?"

"Hey, expert above, could you explain what the difference is between Second Stage and Third Order?"

"I’ve heard that the plants in the Amazon Jungle are particularly dangerous—is this also related to their high Orders?"

In the face of these many questions, the expert actually chose a few to respond to.

"First, let me say that I don’t know a lot! Based on the current height of the Mutated Iron Birch Tree, its Realm must have reached at least Fifth Order, and Sixth Order is also possible, but that’s hard to confirm."

"Next, according to current research, once mutated plants reach Third Order, they undergo a transformation. Those that reach this Stage can move, although very slowly, but they definitely can."

"In addition, they acquire intelligence, with cognitive abilities roughly on par with insects."

"While it’s not very high, they already have a sense of territory and will attack any creatures that pass by."

"Especially in the Amazon Jungle, the Man-Eating Flowers, Venus Flytraps, and some vine plants have attack capabilities stronger than that of ordinary plants, posing a threat to humans."

After the expert’s explanations, most of the comments underneath were filled with alarm.

Some people also asked, "Expert, won’t the wilderness become more dangerous in the future? Could it evolve to the point where highways become impassable, completely severing the connections between our cities?"

The expert quickly replied below, "Under normal circumstances, it won’t. Because these plants, now aggressive, don’t only target humans. The first to be affected should be the mutated insects and animals living in the forests."

"According to our department’s hypothesis, these flora and fauna will first fight among themselves, then the survival of the fittest will prevail. Whoever is stronger will survive, until a balance is reached."

"Of course, it’s undeniable that those who survive will be the most powerful. So yes, the wilderness will indeed become increasingly dangerous in the future, but it’s not entirely hopeless. Humanity is also growing stronger, and perhaps in the future, everyone will become an Evolutionist, then there will be less to worry about."

When Ye Feng had some free time to browse on his phone, he saw this post as well and couldn’t help but think of the Old Chinese Scholar Tree on Small Phoenix Mountain.

If that Old Chinese Scholar Tree were still alive, it probably wouldn’t be too far off from the Tree King in the Amazon Jungle by now.

Even before the third Spiritual Energy Resurgence had begun, the Old Chinese Scholar Tree had already become sentient and almost devoured two Mutated Sparrows.

But unfortunately, with the emergence of forbidden zones, let alone the Old Chinese Scholar Tree, even Small Phoenix Mountain has been leveled to the ground.
