"This is a Tier 4 fierce beast!"
Many people in the Ninth War Zone had gone to support other war zones. From the perspective of a believer, Gù Qīngyáng could clearly see a tentacle-like fierce beast in the sea. Those tentacles were indeed those of an octopus, densely packed and terrifying to behold.
Although he couldn't truly feel the power of the octopus-like fierce beast, just by seeing how its flailing tentacles could stir up monstrous waves, Gù Qīngyáng could deeply understand how terrifying this beast was.
It was Tier 4 Low-grade!
No.
It wasn't just Tier 4 Low-grade; it was very likely it had broken through to Tier 4 Mid-grade, or even a higher level.
"It seems the Heavenly Blood Descends didn't just allow these fierce beasts to break through to Tier 4, but some powerful fierce beasts directly entered the Tier 4 Mid-grade, or even Tier 4 High-grade.
If the Human Federation doesn't have Tier 4 Evolvers appearing, they probably won't be able to resist..."
Gù Qīngyáng's expression was solemn.
Following that.
Gù Qīngyáng silently observed the battle. As expected, he saw the octopus-like fierce beast unleash its might. All the Tier 3 Evolvers in the Fifth War Zone were dispatched, but they were no match for it.
Among them, Marshal Yang Yan of the Fifth War Zone was heavily wounded by the octopus-like fierce beast. If it weren't for the massive firepower providing cover, he would have likely perished on the spot.
With the defeat of the top evolver, the beast tide could no longer be stopped. Gù Qīngyáng saw the beast tide break through the Great Wall's interception, and a gaping maw appeared before his eyes, after which the image abruptly cut off.
It was obvious.
The believer in Gù Qīngyáng's perspective had already been devoured by the fierce beast.
Gù Qīngyáng quickly switched to another believer's perspective. He saw that the defense line of the Fifth War Zone had completely fallen, and fierce beasts successfully landed one after another. The Human Federation suffered a crushing defeat.
Immediately after.
Gù Qīngyáng switched believer perspectives again, looking at the believers in the Third War Zone and the Seventeenth War Zone. As expected, the situation in both war zones was similar to that of the Fifth War Zone.
With several Tier 4 fierce beasts as vanguards, the Human Federation had no way to resist.
Even continuous bombing from aircraft and tanks couldn't damage the Tier 4 fierce beasts in the slightest. Tier 3 Evolvers were as frail as ants before Tier 4 fierce beasts.
The army retreated.
The beast tide rampaged.
Not long after, when Gù Qīngyáng wanted to switch perspectives again, he found that he could only see the scenery outside the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Looking at the faith threads, he saw that the more than five thousand faith threads had drastically reduced, indicating that everyone who went to support the front line had been buried in the beast tide.
"The Human Federation is probably finished!"
Gù Qīngyáng's heart was heavy.
From this beast tide, he had witnessed too many dangerous and terrifying fierce beasts. The Golden Feathered Eagle, a top overlord in the Kunlun Secret Realm, was completely insignificant compared to these fierce beasts.
After all.
The Golden Feathered Eagle hadn't broken through to Tier 4; it had only reached Tier 3 Perfection.
If the Golden Feathered Eagle had broken through to Tier 4, that would be another matter.
Following that.
Gù Qīngyáng's gaze fell upon himself.
...
Name: Gù Qīngyáng
Main Body: Ancient Tree
Lifespan: 15/
Rank: Tier 3 Low-grade ( / )
Divine Realm: Not yet opened ( / )
Innate Divine Abilities: Ancient Tree Root Tendrils (Tier 3), Ancient Tree Spirit Root (Tier 3), Divine Ability Fruit (Tier 3), God's Whisper (Tier 3), True Sight Eye (Tier 3), Divine Realm (Tier 3)
...
"In four days, my Evolution Points have passively increased by twenty points. Averaging five Evolution Points per day, this is the effect of the Ancient Tree Spirit Root!" Gù Qīngyáng mused.
Compared to the abilities of Spirit Energy Affinity and Vigorous Growth, the effect of the Ancient Tree Spirit Root was undoubtedly much greater.
Five Evolution Points per day.
365 days a year would be 1,825 Evolution Points.
In this way.
Even without any additional Evolution Points income, Gù Qīngyáng could break through to Tier 3 Mid-grade in twenty-five years.
Don't underestimate the twenty-five years; it might seem long, but when calculated based on his lifespan of ten thousand years, twenty-five years is merely a blink of an eye.
As long as there was a safe environment, Gù Qīngyáng was confident he could grow to an extremely high level.
But now.
The Human Federation had suffered a crushing defeat, and Gù Qīngyáng felt he wouldn't have the opportunity for a stable growth. In this case, the Ancient Tree Spirit Root's talent couldn't be truly utilized, which was quite a pity.
The remaining.
There was an increase of forty points in faith.
Gù Qīngyáng could clearly feel that the Changqing Ancient Tree was channeling a stream of Faith Power into his body daily, so the forty points of faith came from the Changqing Ancient Tree.
This change made Gù Qīngyáng roughly understand the role of believer ranks.
"The main role of believer ranks is to provide faith at a certain frequency. Any believer who generates faith doesn't do it just once; they provide faith to me periodically.
As for how often Lay Believers provide faith, it's unknown for now, but for Saints, it should be once a day!"
Once a day for faith.
If all the previous more than five thousand believers were Saints, Gù Qīngyáng would receive nearly twenty thousand faith points daily.
Of course.
This was impossible.
Saints could not be promoted without extremely devout faith.
Moreover.
Quite a few believers had died, and only about three thousand truly believed in Gù Qīngyáng.
For a moment, Gù Qīngyáng wanted to use all his Evolution Points to cultivate beings like the Changqing Ancient Tree.
150,000 Evolution Points would be enough to nurture spiritual intelligence in thirty ancient trees, allowing them to become his believers.
In this way.
Gù Qīngyáng would have a minimum of 300 faith points daily, over 100,000 faith points a year, and in less than ten years, he could gather the faith required to open his Divine Realm.
He had a premonition.
If he could open his Divine Realm, he would undoubtedly undergo a great transformation.
If he were in a safe place, Gù Qīngyáng would definitely prioritize cultivating a batch of ancient trees similar to the Changqing Ancient Tree without hesitation.
After all, this approach was a loss in the short term, but in the long run, it was a guaranteed profitable business.
It was a pity,
However.
The current environment did not allow Gù Qīngyáng to do so.
Unless there could be an ancient tree stronger than the Changqing Ancient Tree, Gù Qīngyáng would use Divine Ability Fruit to nurture it.
After all.
The faith provided by Tier 3 and Tier 2 were completely different, with a tenfold difference.
If there were ancient trees with Tier 3 foundations, Gù Qīngyáng wouldn't mind spending some Evolution Points to nurture their spiritual intelligence and turn them into his Saints.
However—
In the entire Kunlun Mountain Range, the foundation of the Changqing Ancient Tree was among the best. Gù Qīngyáng had not found any other ancient tree that could match it.
In this situation.
Gù Qīngyáng naturally wouldn't waste Evolution Points, as every Evolution Point was proof of strength.
"I hope the Human Federation can hold on for a while longer, but given the current situation, it's unlikely..."
