Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 727 - 414: Follow-up Plan_1

At the moment the contract was completed, not only did Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, but Qiongqi also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Because its biggest worry did not come to pass: Ye Feng had not modified the contents of the contract. The rune in its Sea of Consciousness was exactly the same as the one in Ling’s Sea of Consciousness.

At the same time, with the completion of the contract, it could also feel that there was something extraordinary about this rune.

It had already sensed a mysterious connection forming between itself and Ye Feng, seemingly able to communicate no matter the distance, even across special spaces.

Moreover, after the contract, when it looked at Ye Feng, it felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.

Of course, the most important part was that the rune of intricate design contained indeed little energy. As long as it could withstand a heavy blow to its Sea of Consciousness, it could always forcibly destroy the contract.

Of course, unless Ye Feng issued an order to send it to its death, it definitely wouldn’t do that.

No helping it, the terms Ye Feng offered were truly irresistible.

It believed that once Ye Feng became a True God and announced the news about his Inner World, even the True God Strongmen would be clamoring to become his subordinates. By joining early, it might even snag a core position in the future.

While Qiongqi was contemplating these things, Ye Feng also opened the system’s subsidiary panel to take a look.

Name: Qiongqi

Realm: Tenth Order Peak Level (Fake)

Loyalty: 60%

Just as he had suspected, Qiongqi was indeed just a step away from the Tenth Order Peak and about to break through to become a True God.

Such a promising seedling naturally needed proper nurturing; perhaps it could become his first True God subordinate.

Of course, before that, it was also crucial to increase the Loyalty. Now the Loyalty was at 60%, a bump that occurred after the contract’s successful completion thanks to the system’s interference.

But to raise it further would be difficult.

Haven’t you seen that in over a month, Ling’s Loyalty had only risen from 60% to 68%?

Of course, when he had displayed the rune just now, the Loyalty had increased by 2% under his considerate care, reaching 70%.

But there was still a long way to go to reach 100%, especially after Loyalty hit 90%, the difficulty of increasing it would become greater.

However, Ye Feng wasn’t in a hurry. After all, the threat posed by the Restricted Area had been completely resolved for him.

The threat from the extraterrestrial creatures was still there, but at least they would need to go through five or more rounds of Spiritual Energy Resurgence before their true bodies could descend.

This would take at least a year or two, plenty of time for Ye Feng to grow completely and to increase the Loyalty of Qiongqi and the others.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng smiled and said, "I’m glad we’ve reached an agreement. You can rest and heal your wounds here."

"Furthermore, there will be no more artillery bombing your Restricted Area, so you can absorb spiritual energy and recover your injuries in peace."

"But I do have one condition: the area you occupy must not expand any further. In compensation, I will adjust the High-level Spirit Gathering Array to envelop your Restricted Area as well, increasing the external spiritual energy concentration tenfold."

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, a look of surprise flashed across Qiongqi’s face.

It hadn’t expected Ye Feng to show goodwill so soon.

And it was exactly what it needed the most.

Even though the Restricted Area’s territory wouldn’t expand, if Ye Feng indeed included the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area within the scope of the High-order Spiritual Gathering Array, it would be the equivalent of having ten times the territory.

Together with the absence of bombardment, it would be able to return to its peak condition within a year, and even its subordinates could recover along with it.

"Thank you! Your help is indeed very important to me," Qiongqi said sincerely after regaining its senses.

Ye Feng merely waved his hand nonchalantly, "We are on the same side now; there is nothing to thank me for."

Qiongqi smiled and was about to say something when its expression changed slightly, and it immediately activated a hidden Formation within this space.

Seeing this, Ye Feng’s eyes twitched. He thought that the other party had not given up and wanted to resist!

However, he held back, refraining from taking any action.

It wasn’t that he trusted Qiongqi so much, but he had faith in the system’s capability. After forcibly capturing it, as long as the Loyalty was above 60%, it wouldn’t make a move against him.

And, because of the goodwill he had just expressed, Qiongqi’s Loyalty had increased by 1%, reaching 61%, making it even less likely to attack without reason.

So he just stood there. His guess was completely correct; what Qiongqi had activated was not some kind of attack or defense Formation, but likely a very sophisticated communication Formation.

However, since the Formation was on a spiritual level, he couldn’t eavesdrop.

A moment later, the hidden Formation disappeared.

Before Ye Feng could even ask, Qiongqi took the initiative to explain, "During our battle just now, I activated the Burning Sky Array, which caused quite a stir. The other Forbidden Area Masters sensed it and came to ask what was going on."

Ye Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this, "I thought the place where you all reside is an independent space? How could they sense the battle fluctuations?"

Qiongqi explained, "It is an independent space indeed, but we do have a connection with the main space."

"What’s more, we once collaborated to cause great calamities. Because of that, we have become more attuned to each other’s presence."
