Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 542 - 320: Genius Training Program_1

In a temporary military camp in Tianhe City, Du Gulan, a frontline journalist who had interviewed the mutated parrots multiple times, was rapidly turning the materials in her hands into news segments and posting them online.

In her beautiful eyes, there was an excitement she couldn’t hide.

There was no helping it, the news material she held was simply too astonishing, and even she, as a participant, still felt somewhat dazed, not to mention the people on the internet who saw it.

Soon, another press release was edited to completion by her, leaving only the headline to be written. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Moments later, another article burst onto the already buzzing internet.

"King returns! Eighth Order Strongmen can only flee before the Dragon King, Seventh Order Strongmen completely powerless.""

The title was a bit long, but there was no question that it clearly and concisely summarized the facts.

After releasing the news, Du Gulan went to pour herself a glass of water. In the less than two minutes it took for her to return to the computer, the article had already parachuted into the top ten trending searches, with over 500,000 views.

"Is this for real? Couldn’t these photos be AI-generated?"

"To be honest, if this weren’t an officially certified journalist posting such exaggerated content, I wouldn’t believe a word of it. But even so, I feel it only has one-tenth of credibility."

Du Gulan briefly scanned the comments, not at all surprised by the voices of skepticism.

She opened another folder on her computer and then uploaded the high-definition videos she had previously recorded.

In fact, it wasn’t just her, nearly all the frontline journalists in Tianhe City were doing something similar.

And as more and more journalists began to upload their content, especially videos from various angles in high definition, the skeptical voices on the internet became fewer and fewer.

When they accepted this fact, excitement took hold.

You see, just a few days ago, when those ancient ruins opened and the Forbidden Area Armies emerged from around the world, there was an air of despair in everyone’s heart.

They were a bit afraid to imagine, if these Forbidden Area Armies launched attacks directly on the various cities, what a tragic sight that would be.

It seemed that no city would be able to withstand it.

But, in the days that followed, their mood rollercoastered.

Two days prior, when they were in a low ebb, the first batch of returnees from the Land of Inheritance arrived.

When they found that the peak human strongmen were typically only at the Fourth or Fifth Order.

But after coming out of the Ancient Ruins, they had risen at least one or two Big Realms, reaching the Fourth or Fifth Order.

Some even reached Sixth Order, and everyone’s spirits were uplifted.

Because this at least gave them hope that the gap in individual combat power between human strongmen and the other top mutated animals was closing.

And just one day after that burst of elation, they received an even bigger surprise.

Because the batch of Sixth Order Prowess that had entered Rule Mountain also returned, bringing with them techniques for cultivation.

Any sensible person could understand what that meant.

This was the foundation of humanity’s true rise!

Of course, amidst their excitement, they also had concerns, worrying that there might not be enough time left for humanity to develop.

For in the human camp, there had always been no genuine pillar to rely upon, that is, no top-tier strongmen above the Seventh Order.

You must understand, each strongman of that caliber is equivalent to a walking nuclear bomb.

But every Forbidden Area could dispatch five or six such strongmen, in other words, they had the power to turn the tables whenever they wanted.

As long, as spiritual energy continued to resurge, these top-level strongmen could emerge.

So the time left for humanity was truly very, very short, even to the point of despair.

It was under these circumstances that Ye Feng single-handedly suppressed six top-tier strongmen dispatched from the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area.

To everyone, this was like a drowning person grabbing onto a lifeline.

"Haha, the official website has also released a video, looks like the news is dead certain now, Dragon King rules!" someone cheered excitedly.

"I really want to know, what did the Dragon King get from the Land of Inheritance to have such a revolutionary improvement in combat power in just a few days?" others wondered with sighs.

"Everyone, check out the foreign websites, a bunch of people are eating lemons over there! We must pull the Dragon King into our camp, definitely can’t let those foreign vixens lure him away."

And this comment quickly attracted a lot of attention, even Du Gulan herself, who immediately opened the foreign sites to read the comments.

Indeed, they were all eating lemons, saying they just had a stroke of dumb luck.

As for these comments, Du Gulan just laughed them off, but there were some comments that made her furrow her brows.

Those comments said that the Dragon King was too merciful, having had the opportunity to kill a group of strongmen from the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area, but he chose to refrain because of one city, which was unwise.

Du Gulan really wanted to fire back, but when her hands rested on the keyboard, she didn’t know what to say.

Because she knew the nature of the matter all too well. They were simply too weak, even an entire city was powerless before such high-tier strongmen, barely even a bargaining chip.

...

While the whole internet was abuzz, a highly confidential meeting was underway.
