Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 998 - 584: Thirty Years of Hidden Cultivation

That day, Ye Feng followed the Sixth Elder Zheng Xiujing and returned to Tianyuan Star.

The journey was quite peaceful, and they didn’t encounter any assassination attempts.

It was unknown whether it was because the Heavenly God Court had made sufficient preparations, intercepting the assassins in advance, or whether the Primordial Temple had given up.

After three months of continuous battles, even Ye Feng felt somewhat weary in spirit.

Upon returning to Tianyuan Star, he took his followers, including Xiao Yuner, and took several days off to relax properly.

Essentially, they visited all sorts of expensive places and gourmet areas on Tianyuan Star.

As for money, Ye Feng was not worried about it at all now.

He had been earning at least 20 million Heavenly Points every day. Over the course of two or three months, Ye Feng’s account balance had already surpassed 1.8 billion Heavenly Points.

This was even after he had transferred some Heavenly Points to Xiao Yuner.

Besides, the spoils of war that he let Liu Ying sell had brought in an even more staggering amount of Spirit Stones.

Over three months, their gains had surpassed the terrifying figure of 100 billion.

To put it mildly, even if Ye Feng were to spend freely, he wouldn’t have to worry about money for the next hundred years or more.

It’s worth mentioning that this time Ye Feng brought Jiang Minying, You Long, and You Hu back to Tianyuan Star with him.

Although the trio didn’t accompany Ye Feng on every mission, just a slight share of the spoils was enough to satiate them.

Having witnessed Ye Feng’s formidable power, they proposed to become his subordinates when it was time to part ways.

Ye Feng only pondered briefly before accepting them. After all, as his strength improved, he was bound to recruit more subordinates, and so he took them on.

Of course, veterans like Liu Ying, who were responsible for the logistics, also received a hefty reward, even more so than what Jiang Minying and the others got in terms of Spirit Stones.

After relaxing for a few days, Ye Feng began to focus on cultivation.

His method of cultivation was not much different from before; he basically stayed on Wudaoshan. Now that money was no longer an issue, he definitely was not lacking in auxiliary spiritual medicines and rare items during his cultivation.

Besides that, he sought guidance from other Elders on the Causality Rule and the Death Rule.

After some time cultivating, Ye Feng had to admit that he really lacked the Talent for these two Supreme Rules.

Previously, under the life-or-death pressure at the Tianxing Minefield, he had been able to perceive a related Higher Rule on his own within a month.

But now, back on Tianyuan Star and without such life-or-death pressure, even with the guidance of Rule Mountain and the Elders, his cultivation speed had become more than ten times slower than before.

Fortunately, Ye Feng was not in a hurry.

The pressure from Earth had been resolved, and in the Primordial Universe, where he had become the top prodigy of the Era and garnered the attention of two Hall Masters, no one dared to provoke him, so he felt even less pressured.

And so, Ye Feng cultivated at his own pace, neither hurried nor slow, as the years passed, year by year.

...

Five years, ten years, fifteen years... thirty years.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng had been in the Primordial Universe for a full thirty years.

This was still just the time he appeared to have wasted on the surface.

In reality, being in a state that accelerated time by a hundredfold, he had already passed 3,000 years.

...

"I’ve finally figured it out." That day, Ye Feng, sitting atop Rule Mountain Peak, opened his eyes.

Of the last two Supreme Rules, he had first grasped the Death Rule.

Because Ye Feng found that the Death Rule and the Life Rule, though completely opposite, were actually the most closely linked, and could deduce one through the other.

Thus, he had figured it out in just the 12th year of normal time (the 1200th year under accelerated time).

It was the Causality Rule that seemed independent among the Five Great Supreme Rules and kept stalling him.

Eventually, he completely mastered six Higher Rules of causality, and only through the interconnections between the Supreme Rules did he come to understand it.

"It’s really tough, if I hadn’t already mastered the other four Supreme Rules, I doubt I could have figured out the Causality Rule," Ye Feng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

At this moment, with all Five Great Supreme Rules together, dramatic changes were happening to his Inner World.

If the Inner World had been illusory before, merely formed by rules, it was now turning into something real.

On the surface, they seemed similar, but in reality, there was a qualitative difference.

And this evolution lasted a very long time, a full year.

Of course, under Ye Feng’s acceleration of time, it was just over three days in reality.

Finally, when this evolution ended, Ye Feng felt as if the entire Heaven and Earth had changed.

He could seemingly see the most minute details of Tianyuan Star’s Origin Structure, and if he wished, he could even harness Tianyuan Star’s Power of Heaven and Earth for offense and defense.

"This ability, it’s a bit like the Ability to Control Heaven and Earth! Only broader in scope, more expansive in effect, not limited to any one place, even usable in the cosmic void," he mused softly.

"It’s more like an advanced version of the ability: Ability to Control the Universe," Ye Feng murmured to himself.

Of course, this was merely a natural evolution of power or rather a kind of authority, wrested from the will of Heaven and Earth by mastering all the Supreme Rules.

But having mastered the five rules of creation, what truly excited Ye Feng was the terrifying power unleashed by the fusion of these five rules.

"This is more like a kind of Origin Power," Ye Feng remarked softly, looking at a trace of Special Energy at his fingertips.

The level of this energy completely transcended the Demigod Level, even surpassed the Divine Power of a True God, fully comparable to the Divine Power of Higher Gods.

This was still because, restricted by Ye Feng’s current Realm, his ability to harness the power of these Supreme Rules was not fully realized.

Otherwise, according to Ye Feng’s guess, it could very likely be a God King Level, or even surpass the God King Level energy.

"I should now be able to defeat Higher Gods squarely," Ye Feng mildly tested his current prowess, now possessing an accurate assessment of his own strength.

...

The day after Ye Feng completed his breakthrough, a message swept across the entire Tianyuan Star.

The top Talent of this Era, known as the God King Seed, Ye Feng, would cross the Heavenly Tribulation in a week and attain the True God Position.

Once the message was out, it spread like a storm, quickly sweeping through the entire Primordial Universe, centered on Tianyuan Star.

Indeed, such was the influence of Ye Feng, the premier Talent, who without exaggeration, attracted even more attention than the major Elders.

Not just the Heavenly God Court, the attention from the Primordial Temple was even greater.

And with the news of Ye Feng facing the Heavenly Tribulation, discussions erupted everywhere.
