Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 374 - 242: The Strange Temple Reappears_2

He had already learned that the ultimate plan for Yang City was to build a megacity with a population of 50 million.

By then, even if each person provided him with just one point of Power of Faith per day, he would have 50 million points of Power of Faith!

As he thought about this, he glanced at the highway in front of Sunset Valley, which was bustling with traffic early in the morning.

Almost inevitably, all the people who came to settle in Yang City would make a trip to Sunset Valley to worship the Dragon King.

Even the local population of Yang City did the same; over the past couple of days, the workload for the security company had soared.

More than 90% of their assignments were to escort residents to Sunset Valley.

"This place is almost becoming a tourist attraction!"

Ye Feng took a look at the grassland he had designated, where to his astonishment, vendors had already begun doing business.

This speechless moment bewildered Ye Feng.

Of course, he had no intention of stopping them—on the contrary, he even considered expanding the area to accommodate more visitors.

The reason was, naturally, to increase the income from the Power of Faith, for humanity is a very complex creature that seeks divine intervention mostly only at critical moments.

Therefore, on average, each resident of Yang City would contribute only 0.1 points of Power of Faith per day.

But if they came here and sincerely worshiped for just one hour, they could provide around 10 points of Power of Faith—a huge difference.

After some thought, Ye Feng decided to wait a while longer.

Even if he were to expand the "scenic area," he must do so reactively rather than proactively, to avoid harming his image.

Ye Feng then quickly checked the news before continuing his cultivation, expecting a calm day.

However, at 9 AM, Liu Zaoxin and others came looking for him.

Initially, Ye Feng thought they were coming because of the overcrowding at Sunset Valley.

But their first sentence immediately made Ye Feng’s expression grow solemn, "Parrot Messenger, those divine temples have appeared again."

Ye Feng had felt something was amiss with these temples yesterday, and hearing that they had reappeared today, he immediately became alert, "How many have appeared? Where are they located?"

"They are at the same locations as before, and this time, these temples appeared all at once," Liu Zaoxin said with a gravity unmatched. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

If yesterday there might have been a possibility of a mirage or something similar, the situation today clearly ruled that out.

"They appeared all together?" Ye Feng frowned deeply and inquired, "Is there anything else different?"

Liu Zaoxin thought for a moment, "The temples seem to be clearer than before, does that count?"

"Clearer?"

"Yes, yesterday when they appeared, we could only see the main gate, the rest was blurry, as if there was a thin mist covering them. But today they have become much more discernible, revealing more details of the temples," Liu Zaoxin immediately explained.

"If I remember correctly, there was also a temple that appeared in Donghai Province, right?" Ye Feng asked.

"That’s correct, near Tianhe City," Liu Zaoxin nodded and confirmed.

"Good, I’ll go investigate it personally," Ye Feng stated decisively.

Liu Zaoxin was waiting for this very response and quickly offered, "Do you need me to send a helicopter to guide you?"

"No need, just inform the troops stationed over there," Ye Feng replied succinctly, then controlled the Mutated Parrot to take off, not heading straight for Tianhe City but returning to Sunset Valley first.

Then he used his Attribute Transfer Ability to raise the combat power of the Mutated Parrot to a Sixth Order Realm.

But that still wasn’t enough. Ye Feng summoned the Mutated Eagle as well and likewise used the Attribute Transfer Ability to enhance its combat power.

Once prepared, he then dispatched them.

There was no choice but to be cautious, as this newly appeared temple emanated an unsettling aura from every angle.

In fact, Ye Feng wanted to send more Mutated Animals over, but after some thought, he eventually decided against it.

After all, if the enemy’s strength was of the Sixth Order, then the presence of the Mutated Eagles would be sufficient to handle it.

But if the enemy was a Seventh Order Strongman who had mastered the Rule Power, then even if he dispatched all the Mutated Beings, it would still be useless.

Soon, the Mutated Parrot and Mutated Eagles quickly took off, increasing their speed directly to ten times the speed of sound.

Those worshipping in front of Sunset Valley only heard a series of sonic booms, but when they looked up, they couldn’t see anything.

At ten times the speed of sound, it only took a few minutes for the Mutated Eagles to arrive at Tianhe City. Although they didn’t know the precise location, it didn’t matter at all.

They circled nearby for half a round and then found that enormous temple.

Ye Feng flapped his wings and descended; a hundred-strong team was stationed here.

They had clearly already received orders and were not surprised to see the arrival of the Mutated Parrot.

Meanwhile, a captain in charge here rushed over as soon as he saw Ye Feng land.

"Parrot Messenger, hello. I am the person in charge here, Zhao Sheng. If there’s anything you need assistance with, please feel free to ask," Zhao Sheng said respectfully.

Ye Feng nodded his head, but his gaze remained fixed on the giant temple not far away.

The temple seemed like a dwelling for giants, with the visible buildings inside all featuring grand designs.

Just the hundred-meter-wide giant gate alone reflected this, and the vague shapes of the buildings inside each rose hundreds of meters high.

All the buildings of the temple were made of piled-up rocks, but they did not make it seem rough because each stone was polished and carved with patterns.

Such a majestic structure, if one paid close attention to the details, would also give off a sense of refinement.

"How long has this temple been here?" After staring for a while, Ye Feng turned his head and asked Zhao Sheng.

"It’s been 22 minutes now," Zhao Sheng replied.

"Have you sent anyone to investigate inside?" Ye Feng asked again.

"Yes, we have sent people in, and have also used instruments to detect, but found nothing. This temple seems as if it’s a holographic projection; you can see it, but you cannot touch it."

"And it doesn’t have any effect on people or equipment," Zhao Sheng said.

"Did your people record video when they went inside?" Ye Feng thought for a moment and then asked.

"Yes, just a moment," said Zhao Sheng, swiftly asking someone to bring over a tablet computer.

"This is the process of their investigation inside." As he spoke, he opened a video and started playing it.

The video was somewhat like a surveillance screen, the image split into four parts, recorded from four different angles.

Ye Feng guessed that these were all images from battlefield recorders.

Zhao Sheng did not keep Ye Feng waiting, he directly moved the progress bar, fast-forwarding to the scene where four individuals entered the temple.

The temple gate was closed, but the person walking in front walked right through it.

However, after these four went in, they did not immediately proceed but conducted an experiment by the door, touching everything inside with their hands; the giant gate, the surrounding walls, or the buildings inside, everything without exception was intangible.

Moreover, one person took a camera off his body and inserted it into the wall, and the camera’s view instantly turned pitch black.

The person set down the camera, backed away a distance, and after a moment, returned to it.

The camera was still in the same place, and when retrieved, its recording was still ongoing without any damage.

Clearly from these phenomena, it indicated that the temple seemed truly illusory and had no effect on them, at least for now.

Of course, they didn’t just linger by the door; after a simple experiment, they quickly headed into the interior of the temple.

But the further they went, the more illusory the scenery became, or rather, it was obscured by a thin layer of mist, making it unclear to see.

And once they reached the end, they walked out from the mist, having reached the other side of the forest.

After watching the entire video, Ye Feng’s brows furrowed once again.

Because he hadn’t found any anomalies, but the lack of anomalies was the greatest anomaly.
