Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 34: A New Saint Apprentice

The federal leaders wanted to allocate all the fierce beast contributions to one person in a short period, so that they could potentially open the fourth-tier store, allowing the Federation to have a fourth-tier evolver at their command.

But now, the third-tier store hasn’t been completed, so the fourth-tier store is even more impossible.

As such.

The federal leaders’ plans have naturally been shattered.

"The third-tier store is not completed, could it be because it requires more time as it is a higher tier than the second-tier store?"

Yang You pondered silently.

But the current situation is not something that a small third-tier evolver like him can fully understand.

The failure to open the third-tier store not only disrupted the Federation’s plan, but even his idea of using the Divine Kingdom chat group to increase his strength had to be temporarily put on hold.

There’s no choice.

With the third-tier store unopened, the Secret Techniques in the second-tier store have some utility, but it’s impossible for them to help Yang You break through the barrier of third-tier low-grade.

Immediately.

Yang You dialed Gu Fang’s number to inform him about this discovery directly.

After hanging up the phone, Yang You continued to lead the Ninth War Zone in hunting fierce beasts. Although the third-tier store hasn’t been built, it doesn’t stop him from collecting contributions.

If the third-tier store is constructed one day, he could use its contents to rapidly enhance his strength.

"If I can redeem several third-tier Realm-Breaking Pills, I will definitely break through to third-tier perfection in one go!"

Looking at the Realm-Breaking Pills in the second-tier store, Yang You was very envious.

Second-tier Realm-Breaking Pill is useless to him, but third-tier Realm-Breaking Pill would have significant benefits.

...

"Xu Bo sacrificed a second-tier middle-grade fierce beast and received three hundred Evolution Value!"

"Xu Bo sacrificed a first-tier high-grade fierce beast and received seventy-five Evolution Value!"

’Xu Bo sacrificed a second-tier low-grade fierce beast and received two hundred and fifty Evolution Value!’

"Chu Shan sacrificed a second-tier high-grade fierce beast, you received five hundred Evolution Value!"

"Chu Shan sacrificed a second-tier high-grade fierce beast, you received three hundred and fifty Evolution Value!"

"Yang You sacrificed a third-tier low-grade fierce beast, you received five thousand Evolution Value!"

"Yang You sacrificed..."

Almost every few minutes, new information flooded into Gu Qingyang’s mind.

Seeing the Evolution Value on the data panel increasing visibly, and his steadily growing strength, Gu Qingyang felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

"Having a large number of followers working for me is truly comfortable. The Evolution Value gained in just half a month equals my accumulation of more than a decade before.

No... it’s even more than my accumulations over the previous decade!"

Gu Qingyang reviewed his data panel internally, noticing his Evolution Value had increased from over thirty thousand to one hundred thirty thousand.

In other words.

In half a month, Gu Qingyang gained an additional one hundred thousand Evolution Value.

At this pace, accumulating one million Evolution Value won’t even take a year.

Moreover.

As the Cultivation Techniques spread and the followers’ strength increases, the speed at which Gu Qingyang acquires Evolution Value will only get faster.

"My followers now number about twenty-two million. Since most of them are ordinary people, they can only contribute one faith point each.

But when these people truly reach the first-tier, one person can provide five faith points.

If all twenty-two million followers reach the first tier, in just one year, I could elevate the Divine Kingdom to the third tier!"

Gu Qingyang calculated quietly.

He now fully understands the patterns of faith supply.

Saint Apprentices provide faith daily, fanatics every thirty days, true believers every one hundred fifty days, and general believers every three hundred days.

Normally, even if all twenty-two million followers are general believers, they collectively yield twenty-two million faith every three hundred days.

However.

This calculation assumes all followers are ordinary followers.

But in reality, some of these followers are also evolvers, meaning the actual faith acquired will exceed twenty-two million.

Gu Qingyang offered others a free opportunity to exchange for Cultivation Techniques to ensure that everyone has the chance to achieve at least first-tier within the upcoming year.

If two million followers all reach first tier, Gu Qingyang would conservatively receive one billion and one hundred million faith next time. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A third-tier Divine Kingdom only requires one billion faith. It seems like a lot, but when collecting virtually all of humanity’s faith, one billion doesn’t seem as much as initially thought.

"It’s a pity that the beast tide has caused such chaos, sharply reducing the human population. If it were during the peak period when the global population was not less than ten billion, I would be able to directly condense a fourth, or even fifth-tier Divine Kingdom in one fell swoop!"

Gu Qingyang felt a bit regretful.

With a fifth-tier Divine Kingdom, he could directly step into the fifth tier by leveraging the massive faith power.

But despite the pity, this is the reality, and having over twenty million followers now is already satisfactory. At least the basic structure is present.

Next, as long as there are opportunities for humans to rest and recuperate, even without additional contributions from fierce beasts, Gu Qingyang is confident he can break through to higher levels.

Suddenly.

Gu Qingyang noticed one of the Faith Threads connected to him suddenly grew robust enough to compare with the Evergreen Ancient Tree and other Saint Apprentices.

"Someone has been promoted to a Saint Apprentice!"

Gu Qingyang’s mind was slightly startled as he gazed at the Faith Thread, and relevant information appeared in his mind.

...

Name: Lin Ling

Essence: Human

Level: First-tier middle-grade

Faith: Saint Apprentice

...

"Lin Ling..."

Gu Qingyang was naturally unfamiliar with this name, and he immediately switched to a follower’s perspective.

What he saw was a wasteland.

Seeing this.

Gu Qingyang manipulated his own power, pulling away from the follower’s viewpoint to a wider field of view, finally seeing the surrounding scenery clearly.

In the midst of a pile of ruins, a tall, masculine young man with thick eyebrows and large eyes sat cross-legged, with the drifting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converging around him, gradually forming a small vortex.

From this surge of spiritual energy, Gu Qingyang sensed an extremely pure spiritual essence.

"This is an attempt to breakthrough to first-tier high-grade!"

Watching the young man before him for a moment, Gu Qingyang was somewhat surprised.

Someone striving for first-tier high-grade is understandable, given that some first-tier middle-grade evolvers naturally advance to first-tier high-grade after obtaining a Cultivation Technique.

After all, the techniques have been circulating for more than half a month now.

However—

Gu Qingyang couldn’t detect any unique power of an evolver on Lin Ling, implying the young man before him wasn’t an evolver, which is entirely different.

"A non-evolver ordinary person advancing to first-tier high-grade in less than a month—such talent is unparalleled!"

Gu Qingyang looked at Lin Ling, a glimmer in his eyes, as if gazing at a precious treasure.
