Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 844 - 473: One Month Later

As night fell, clusters of lights illuminated the surroundings of the massive square.

Many spectators who were fortunate enough to have purchased tickets began to take their seats.

Yes, since it was a celebration banquet, there surely wouldn’t be a lack of food.

Of course, because the banquet was held in the square and time was extremely tight, everything appeared rather rough, or to describe it with another word, it was makeshift.

To what extent were things improvised?

Well, it was basically just a round table with plastic stools.

At this time, however, nobody cared about this, and once covered uniformly with red cloth, the overall effect didn’t look too bad.

What was more important was the quantity!

According to the official setup, this banquet would have up to 30,000 lucky spectators in attendance, plus some invited VIP guests, bringing the total number to an unprecedented 35,000 people.

Even with dozens of entrances, just getting everyone seated took nearly an hour.

"Ye Feng, it’s about time. When are those Forbidden Area Masters going to arrive?" Liu Zaoxin asked Ye Feng within the rest area on the elevated platform beside the square.

"When do you want them to come?" Ye Feng countered.

"Can we even make that decision?" Liu Zaoxin was a bit surprised.

It seemed that Ye Feng had even more control over those Forbidden Area Masters than they had imagined!

"Stop the nonsense and get straight to the point," Ye Feng glanced at him.

"Then half an hour from now. I’ll have the host start hyping up the crowd right away," Liu Zaoxin decided immediately.

Next, the host took the stage, and he indeed had a knack for stirring up the atmosphere.

He began by recounting their hardships from the early stages of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence, talking about the forbidden zones, about the great disasters, stirring memories in just a few minutes.

Then, he shifted to a more uplifting note, recounting the rise of Yang City, the birth of one hero after another, and finally, the unexpected emergence of Ye Feng.

The mood in the arena instantly became charged, gradually growing more enthusiastic.

Finally, when the time was almost right,

The host’s earpiece received the latest cue from staff, and he excitedly announced, "I’m sure everyone here is aware that tonight we will have special guests attending our celebration banquet."

"So let’s guess, which Forbidden Area Master will arrive first?"

Immediately, a cacophony of voices arose from below the stage, as everyone shouted their guesses loudly.

Just then, a streak of red light appeared in the sky, at first a thin line, but soon half the sky was dyed fiery red.

A figure, a kilometer in height, with magma flowing across its colossal body, swooped in like a meteor.

Seeing the Lava Giant approaching rapidly from afar, not only did the spectators at the scene feel a heaven-shaking pressure, but even the residents of Yang City were overwhelmed.

It was the natural oppression of Higher Life over Lower Life, as well as an instinctive awe for the mighty.

And then the host, with a slightly trembling voice, introduced, "Some of our friends here guessed correctly, the first to enter is none other than our Lava Demon King Plada! Let’s welcome him with applause."

Perhaps the crowd was too tense or overwhelmed, for applause didn’t start immediately. Only after the host prompted them did a few begin to clap, and at last, the applause merged into a steady wave.

By then, Plada had arrived directly above the giant square, reining in his own aura as he descended from the sky.

Of course, throughout this process, his kilometer-sized body continued to shrink.

But no matter how much it reduced, he was still a hundred meters tall, comparable to a 30-story building, exerting a formidable visual pressure.

However, ever since the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, various large Mutated Beings had been emerging continuously.

Now, some Sixth Order Mutant Animals also reached over a hundred meters in height, and so the attendees of the banquet calmed down quickly.

After cooling down, excitement set in for many. This was a legendary Forbidden Area Master they were seeing up close, and surely they were thrilled, even many took out their phones to snap photos.

Seeing this, Plada furrowed his brows slightly. He did not enjoy being the center of attention, but remembering the 10 million Power of Faith promised to him by Ye Feng, he could only bear with it.

He then stretched out his hand, and magma rapidly formed a massive throne. He sat down, and to avoid being bothered, he simply closed his eyes and began to meditate.

On the other side, the host spoke up again, "Now, everyone can guess who will be the second guest to make an entrance?"

This time, the audience was much more lively, eagerly making their guesses.

The host didn’t hold back – or rather, due to the urgency of the time – so he promptly announced the answer, "Many friends here have guessed right; the next to enter will be our Ice Queen Catherine."

As the host’s voice fell, a blizzard filled the northern sky, and a tall queen shrouded by a whirlwind of snow made her way from the horizon.

Compared to the Lava Demon King, the Ice Queen looked more human-like. Aside from her colossal size, nearly every aspect met human standards of beauty, especially the noble aura emanating from her, which was captivating.

This time, without any prompting from the host, the crowd broke into fervent applause and cheers.

After Catherine’s arrival, she glanced at Prada, then at the assembled commoners, and mimicking him, she too created a throne of ice and seated herself, closing her eyes to meditate.
