Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 539 - 319: The King’s Return, Shocking All Sides_1

Chapter 539: Chapter 319: The King’s Return, Shocking All Sides_1

Under Ling’s somewhat anxious and uneasy gaze, Ye Feng slowly began to speak.

"Rest assured, you don’t need to do anything extra. You can return to the forbidden area like everyone else and convey relevant information to me thereafter."

Upon hearing this, Ling was surprised and confused. He could not help but transmit his voice to ask, "Is it really that simple? You don’t need me to surrender formally or anything like that?"

"I don’t need those things, because I will make a contract with you to ensure that you will not betray me," Ye Feng said indifferently.

Ling still wanted to ask something when he suddenly felt an extremely domineering force heading straight for his Sea of Consciousness.

Before he could defend himself, the force had already breached his defenses and barged into his Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, his Sea of Consciousness was turbulent, as if an intricate and complicated imprint was about to form there.

He was greatly alarmed and subconsciously wanted to resist, but then a Mental Shock collided into his Sea of Consciousness, almost making him pass out.

At the same time, Ye Feng’s somewhat grim voice also came through, "Either sign the contract or die."

Ye Feng’s Capture Ability was powerful, but it also depended on the target.

He had just broken through to the Seventh Order and to forcefully use the Capture Ability on another Seventh Order being was really too strained; most attempts would surely fail.

Therefore, he needed the other party to open up their mind and cooperate with him.

Of course, during this process, coercion was certainly indispensable; his spiritual power kept bombarding the other’s Sea of Consciousness, making them feel a fatal threat.

He also intensified the Power of Devouring on the other five Seventh Order Strongmen, causing them to show expressions of pain in order to mask the irregularities with Ling.

By now, under the constant assaults of Mental Shock from Ye Feng, Ling’s Sea of Consciousness felt like it was on the verge of collapse, enveloping him in an intense sense of impending death.

While he felt horrified, he also understood that he had no choice.

If he did not cooperate, it was entirely possible for Ye Feng to kill him on the spot.

As for Youming, they would not choose to risk everything just for his sake.

After all, if he died, although Youming would also be severely punished, they would surely not lose their lives. In such a situation, there was no reason for them to fight desperately.

After figuring all this out, Ling quickly made the wise choice.

"Fine, I choose to submit," he said, and then stopped resisting, opening up his Sea of Knowledge.

Ye Feng’s Capture Ability fully activated, and swiftly constructed a complex rune within the other’s Sea of Consciousness.

Once the rune was completed, it flashed once and then completely disappeared into the Sea of Consciousness; even Ling himself could not detect where the rune had gone.

However, he could distinctly feel a strange connection forming between himself and the giant tree before him.

And unconsciously, he no longer found Ye Feng so detestable; instead, he felt that following him could possibly lead to boundless prospects in the future.

As the capture was completed, Ling’s information also appeared on Ye Feng’s system panel.

Name: Ling

Realm: Late Stage Seventh Order

Loyalty: 60%

The information was simple, and Ye Feng only glanced at the other’s loyalty.

As long as he had successfully captured the other party, reaching a contract meant that even if they were sworn enemies before, their loyalty would be forcibly pulled to 60% by the system.

In this state, the other’s perception would be altered to a certain extent, shifting from hostility to friendliness.

If Ye Feng wished, by bestowing additional benefits, he could slowly increase the loyalty further.

Of course, Ye Feng could not be bothered to develop a relationship with the other; he just needed to use the loyalty to confirm that the other was not betraying him.

Moreover, after signing the contract, even if separated by space, both parties could still contact each other, making it easier for Ye Feng to acquire information.

At this moment, a voice full of shock and anger came from a distance, "What have you done to them?"

Ye Feng looked up and saw the somewhat stern Youming in the distance, but he did not bother to respond.

However, he did slow down the speed at which he was Devouring the Rule Power of these Seventh Order Strongmen, easing their pain somewhat.

About a minute later, including Ling, all five Seventh Order Strongmen appeared extremely weak and seemingly skin and bones.

As Ye Feng was extracting their Rule Power, he did not intentionally control it, so the Spiritual Energy and flesh inside these Seventh Order Strongmen were also being Devoured by him.

Then, Ye Feng used the roots to take off small items from these people one by one.

The previously silent crowd changed their expressions drastically when they saw what Ye Feng was doing.

Becuase the small trinkets Ye Feng took out were their Storage Equipment, including storage rings, Storage Bracelets, Storage Necklaces, and storage bags, etc.

The valuable items they had exchanged for in the Land of Inheritance were all kept inside these, and now Ye Feng had scooped them all up in one go.

But at this time, they were completely enraged but dared not to express it.

"That’s everything on them, right? There’s nothing left?" Ye Feng inquired of Ling through transmission.

"No more. These storage equipment pieces are extremely precious; each of us only has one piece," Ling said, looking at his own storage bag being taken, feeling a heartache that left him breathless.
