Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 430 - 273 Shock from All Sides, Entering the Ruins_1

Chapter 430: Chapter 273 Shock from All Sides, Entering the Ruins_1

At dusk, the bustling Yang City, instead of quieting down with the setting sun, became even livelier as a large number of workers started their shift changes.

Just two days after the cold disaster had passed, in fact, most people preferred the hustle and bustle.

If one were to ask where the busiest place in Yang City was, there would be no doubt that it was the central Yang City Square.

Here stood a Dragon King Statue over 30 meters tall, where many people liked to come and worship every morning and evening.

Besides that, nearby there was a snack street and an amusement park, both favorites among many children.

And among this sea of people were Old Man Hu and his little granddaughter.

A month ago, when Ye Feng began to distribute the Dragon King Statues, Old Man Hu was one of the first to receive one.

Latter when someone tried to snatch the statue, Ye Feng controlled it with his spiritual power, crushing the several bandits to death – which made Old Man Hu’s name well-known on that street.

The significant meaning represented by the Dragon King Statue had brought considerable help to him and his granddaughter in their life.

For instance, once Old Man Hu joined the factory, the supervisor immediately arranged for him a relatively relaxing job.

His granddaughter didn’t need to wait in line and quickly secured a spot for school enrollment.

All this made the grandfather and granddaughter duo even more devout believers in the Dragon King.

Two days prior, with the end of the major disaster, the factory where Old Man Hu worked saw a surge in orders and started expanding.

His diligent and hardworking attitude over the past month didn’t go unnoticed by the management, and he was directly promoted to the position of a small group leader in the workshop.

With a promotion and a salary raise, plus the upcoming weekend, they decided to celebrate properly at the square.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the center of the square, where stood the Dragon King Statue over 30 meters tall, with many people worshipping it.

"There are two spaces over there, let’s go! Remember to be devout, without the Dragon King, we wouldn’t have our current life," Old Man Hu reminded his granddaughter.

"I know, Grandpa. I’m always very serious when I worship the statue at home," Hu Ling said earnestly.

The two settled on the empty prayer mats and began to worship with all sincerity.

But just at that moment, the ground started to shake violently.

This sudden occurrence startled everyone.

Having experienced the previous terrifying earthquake, everyone now had a stress response to such tremors.

Hu Ling, who was in the middle of worshipping, was also startled and jumped up, instinctively looking toward her grandfather, wanting to grab him and run.

But Old Man Hu, as if he couldn’t feel the vibrations from the ground at all, kept his hands pressed together, his eyes closed, muttering under his breath, clearly still in prayer.

"Grandpa!" Hu Ling called out anxiously.

Old Man Hu opened his eyes and said to his granddaughter, "Don’t worry, let’s finish the prayer ceremony first."

"Don’t forget where we are, this is a city protected by the Dragon King. If the Dragon King can’t protect us, then running is useless."

After saying this, he closed his eyes once more to finish his earlier prayers.

Hu Ling, after a brief pause, also quickly knelt on the mat and continued praying.

And not just her, the others around them had also heard Old Man Hu’s words.

After the initial panic, they had to admit that it was indeed true.

Under Old Man Hu’s influence, they too started to worship the Dragon King again.

While other people were frantically running, only those here remained worshipping the Dragon King. This scene was undoubtedly jarring, but without question, it also caught the attention of an increasing number of onlookers.

Gradually, the crowd began to understand and started worshipping toward the Dragon King Statue.

This was precisely why Ye Feng especially provided a group of people with Dragon King Statues.

Often, one person can indeed influence a group of surrounding people, especially when their belief is firm.

Old Man Hu earnestly completed his worship and then stood up, looking toward Sunset Valley.

At this moment, a look of astonishment crossed his face, and he rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

Because the giant tree that blotted out the sky and sun seemed to be moving.

"Good heavens! Why is that giant tree moving?"

"Could it be that the tremors on the ground are caused by the movement of the Dragon King’s Companion Spirit Plant?"

"Look at the Dragon King, that’s the Dragon King."

At that moment, the crowd saw a Cloud and Fog Behemoth, a Giant Scaled Dragon stretching for 30 kilometers, soaring through the sky.

At the same time, an authoritative voice seemed to appear in everyone’s mind.

"There is no need for panic!"

Upon hearing this voice, many sensed an inexplicable comfort, but curiosity prevailed even more.

"Is it my illusion? Just now it was as if the Dragon King’s voice directly entered my mind."

"Hey, hearing you say that, I can confirm it wasn’t an illusion. The Dragon King’s methods are indeed profound and unfathomable!"

The people in the square immediately started discussing, unable to help their excitement since it was their first time hearing the Dragon King’s voice.

But this excitement quickly turned to alarm as the giant tree moved further away.

"Why did the Dragon King suddenly leave?"
