Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 601 - 349 War Puppet_1

In this process, Ye Feng was extremely cautious.

Although he was infusing the Power of Life Rule, all Rule Powers are inherently offensive because they are, after all, a form of energy.

So, while infusing the Rule Power, Ye Feng also made preparations to withdraw it at any moment.

However, things developed a bit beyond his expectations.

When the crisp and verdant leaves came into contact with the Life Rule, they began to emit a powerful force of attraction.

It was as if they couldn’t wait to Devour the bit of Life Rule he had condensed.

After the Origin Life Fruit sapling Devoured that bit of Life Rule, it was as if some shackles had been broken; it began to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy at an extremely swift pace.

Even though it was just a sprout that had barely germinated, the speed at which it sucked in Spiritual Energy was no lesser than that of a Sixth Order Evolutionist.

With the frenzied absorption of Spiritual Energy, the growth speed of the Origin Life Fruit also began to skyrocket.

In just one minute, it sprouted a second tender leaf.

Then came the third and the fourth leaves.

And as its leaves became more numerous, the speed at which it absorbed Spiritual Energy continued to rise.

After 10 minutes, when the Origin Life Fruit had sprouted its tenth leaf, the speed of Spiritual Energy absorption could rival that of a Mid-level Six Evolutionist.

However, at this point, the bit of Life Rule Power that Ye Feng had infused into the sapling had been completely depleted.

The growth speed of the entire sapling visibly slowed to the naked eye, and its absorption rate of Spiritual Energy dropped to the level of a Mid Stage First Order.

With the reduction in Spiritual Energy absorption, the growth rate of the Origin Life Fruit sapling also sharply decreased, returning to the same state as an ordinary fruit tree.

Throughout the process, Ye Feng observed carefully with his spiritual power.

"The growth speed actually differs by a hundredfold; this really is a bit outrageous," Ye Feng remarked.

But this did serve as collateral proof of one thing: indeed, his Power of Life Rule could replace the Life Origin of an Eighth Order Strongman.

Of course, in reality, the effect was slightly less.

"According to Gu Ao Duo’s description, a regular Origin Life Fruit would bear fruit in as fast as a hundred to two hundred years, or slowly in four to five hundred years."

"Compared to the environment of the Ancient Heavenly Court, Earth hasn’t even completely finished its Spiritual Energy Resurgence, and the number of High-order Spiritual Gathering Arrays laid out surely can’t compare to the Heavenly Court."

"Thus, the growth environment of the Origin Life Fruit definitely belongs to the poorer category; it would probably take four to five hundred years to bear fruit."

"Even with the addition of Life Rule Power to accelerate it a hundredfold, it would still require 4 to 5 years."

"But if an Eighth Order Strongman were buried within, it would blossom and bear fruit in less than a year."

"So, using the Power of Life Rule in place might be about four or five times slower," Ye Feng swiftly concluded in his mind.

Yet, he was not discouraged because he could also feel that as his Realm continued to elevate and his Rule Power became stronger, its effectiveness in nurturing the Origin Life Fruit would improve even more.

Next, Ye Feng conducted a few experiments, such as directly infusing Spiritual Energy into the Origin Life Fruit.

Regrettably, it seemed there was a limit to how fast the sapling could absorb Spiritual Energy.

Most of the Spiritual Energy that Ye Feng injected into the sapling dissipated on its own.

Afterward, Ye Feng infused other types of energy into the sapling, like spiritual power, Power of Faith, and even Rule Power that he had Devoured during battles with other strongmen.

Ye Feng was somewhat surprised to discover that the Origin Life Fruit could absorb these energies, albeit in small quantities.

Besides Rule Power, other energies seemed to have little effect on growth; even the most benign Power of Light only doubled the growth speed of the sapling.

"It seems that it must be either fed Life Origin or Life Rule Power."

Of course, maybe Soul Origin could work too, but that was even more precious than Life Origin, and he certainly wasn’t willing to use that.

After completing the tests, Ye Feng once again began to infuse the Origin Life Fruit sapling with Life Rule Power.

This time, Ye Feng infused 10 points of Life Rule Power. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to infuse more, but after absorbing those 10 points, the Origin Life Fruit would absorb no more, presumably because it was still a sapling.

...

Elsewhere, Ye Feng’s human self had successfully passed the evaluation and suddenly received 60,000 points of credit.

After deducting the heavenly and earthly treasures needed for forging the strongest foundation at Third Order, he was left with about 30,000 points.

Incorporating the points saved from the Second and First Orders, he now had roughly 55,000 points remaining, which instantly gave Ye Feng a feeling of sudden wealth.

As Ye Feng was considering how to use these points, Gu Ao Duo, seeing that he had finally completed the evaluation, flew over immediately.

"Ye kid, how did it go? Was your experiment with the World Tree Body successful? Can the Power of Life Rule replace the Life Origin?" Gu Ao Duo asked a series of questions.

He had wanted to ask these questions earlier but refrained from doing so, worrying that it might disturb Ye Feng’s evaluation.
