Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 762 - 432: Building the Holy City_2

This was an inevitable situation, after all, Ye Feng could only protect one-third of the city, which means that about two-thirds of the survivors lost their homes.

Moreover, many people perished at the hands of mutated beings while fleeing.

According to incomplete statistics, this crisis of mutated beings reduced the global population by approximately 6% to 8%.

This is undoubtedly a terrifying figure, the number of deaths even counts by the billions, making it the most devastating of the many mutated being crises thus far.

This is still the case under the protection of Ye Feng, otherwise, the death toll might have exceeded 50%.

Therefore, even on the internet, Ye Feng could sense a wave of sorrowful emotions.

And it wasn’t just sorrow; these people were also filled with trepidation about their future lives.

Nobody knew what the outcome would be if another crisis of mutated beings were to strike again.

It was for this reason that, in their despair, many people were already engaging in irrational behavior, which started a trend towards chaos.

Ye Feng kept scrolling through videos, and gradually, a plan formed in his mind.

How to harvest faith more sustainably?

There’s no doubt, emulating the practices of Western religions seems to be effective.

Once Ye Feng thought of it, he acted immediately, dividing a portion of his thought and possessing a mutated parrot.

Soon, in the skies above Sunset Town, once again, the residents saw the scene of the Dense Fog Dragon circling.

This instantly made them realize something, and they came out of their homes, one after another, looking up at the sky.

"Could it be that the Dragon King has something to announce again?"

"Very likely! It was this same scene a few days ago."

The crowd began buzzing with discussion.

They did not have to wait too long, for as the Dense Fog Dragon condensed into a small sphere, just as everyone anticipated, the Parrot Messenger flew out from within.

"Hello, everyone, on behalf of Dragon Hall, I am here to announce another important matter."

"The recent crisis of mutated beings has caused immense trauma to all of humanity."

"The Dragon King, in his mercy for the world, has decided to establish ten Holy Cities around the globe to shelter the people. Once the Holy Cities are established, they will be open to all citizens globally; here are the selected sites for the Ten Great Holy Lands."

In the sky, countless water vapors coalesced into a massive ice sphere, which was actually the shape of Earth.

Ten locations were marked with dragon symbols on it, clearly indicating the sites for the Holy Cities to be established.

After making the announcement, Ye Feng departed, but the waves he left behind were still just the beginning.

The spies stationed here by various major powers reported the important news back as soon as possible.

In fact, such news was unstoppable, spreading quickly online and soon reaching the external internet as well.

In less than 10 minutes, the headlines of various popular international news outlets were showing reports about the Dragon King’s decision.

In response to the Dragon King’s plans to establish Holy Cities, Netizens abroad were basically in full support, waving both hands in approval.

After all, everyone wanted a stable living environment in what seemed to be an almost apocalyptic setting.

However, for those major powers, reactions were mixed.

Without doubt, Ye Feng’s actions would disrupt the existing power structure.

From this perspective, it was naturally disadvantageous for all the major powers.

But a relatively stable environment was also what they needed; otherwise, even those in power themselves would live in constant fear.

Therefore, leaders of these major powers tried every means to get in touch with the Dragon King, looking to secure an advantage of some sort.

But obviously, Ye Feng was not someone they could simply contact whenever they wished.

The only thing those people could do was wander aimlessly around Sunset Town, hoping for the appearance of the Mutated Parrot.

Entering the Donglin Mountain Range directly was unthinkable; those who dared to breach the forbidden zone without permission were left to their own life or death fate.

Perhaps they would become fodder for the mutated animals upon entry.

Yet, under these circumstances, the immense World Tree vanished once again.

When people saw the giant tree again, it had already moved to a rainforest in Africa.

Ye Feng chose this location for two reasons: it was at the border of several countries, and the area was uninhabited.

Of course, there used to be some villages, but after more than a year of the resurgence of spiritual energy, these remote villages were long deserted, with many houses collapsing due to the rampant growth of mutated plants.

"Overall, it’s not bad here; this will do," Ye Feng murmured to himself, then activated his ability to control heaven and earth.

After reaching the Eighth Order, his ability to control heaven and earth underwent a transformation.

Before, Ye Feng could only manipulate weather-related abilities, like causing earthquakes in a particular region if he wanted to change its environment.

But now things were different. After the transformation, Ye Feng could directly control the elements of heaven and earth.

For example, as Ye Feng manipulated earth elements, the ground trembled slightly, but it wasn’t like an earthquake. It was the movement of an earthen city causing the minor tremors.

With the tremors, the uneven ground nearby quickly leveled out, and even the plants growing there were swiftly moved by Ye Feng to a distant area.

Soon, the only thing remaining was a flat land as large as the entire Yang City.

Ye Feng didn’t know how to build a holy city, so he planned to directly apply the layout of Yang City.

Of course, this application wasn’t a complete copy. As soon as Ye Feng willed it, the soil parted and chunks of rock were brought up from the deep.

Then, Ye Feng expanded his domain, using space transfer rules to cut the rocks into uniformly sized slabs and quickly paved the roads before compacting them.

In just 10 minutes, the area defined by Ye Feng had about 30 main thoroughfares.

Besides that, there were nearly a hundred secondary roads, dividing the entire holy city into hundreds of large and small areas.

After finishing these steps, Ye Feng moved back some of the previously transferred plants and planted them along the roadsides.

Finally, he filled the newly built Holy City with numerous statues, creating an instantly full atmosphere.

With this, the internal structure of the Holy City was essentially set in stone.

As for the more detailed aspects, Ye Feng couldn’t do them; he couldn’t possibly build the houses as well, even if he wanted to!

However, with these frameworks in place, the basics were almost complete. Next up was the city wall.

Around the four sides of the Holy City, the ground continually trembled, and then four huge walls, each extending over ten kilometers and standing 10 meters high, emerged.

These walls were pieced together by Ye Feng using bedrock, making them quite sturdy.

One Holy City wasn’t enough, of course. By Ye Feng’s estimates, it could accommodate about 60 million people.

So he built four smaller Satellite Cities on the north, south, east, and west sides of the Holy City, each able to hold 10 million people.

Next, Ye Feng began constructing roads from the Holy City, connecting them with the highways of other countries.

With this, the entire Holy City was complete, estimated to accommodate a total population of 100 million.

Of course, although it was finished, it was still an empty shell. To thrive, it needed a large population and countless construction crews to build it.

But Ye Feng believed that would come in time.

The entire Holy City took just over half an hour to build from start to finish.

All of Ye Feng’s actions had been captured by satellites and then released on the internet.

After all, Ye Feng had already announced the locations of the ten Holy Cities, so this was no secret, which is why the countries revealed it openly.

Instantly, the international web erupted in excitement. Undoubtedly, this was another miracle.

Especially for people living in countries near this Holy City, they were already packing their belongings, eager to relocate.
