Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 49: Tier 4 Divine Kingdom, Divine Soul Transformation!
The faith of followers is not static, and as a Divine Spirit, one must also constantly maintain the followers; only then can faith remain stable.
From just establishing the Divine Kingdom and understanding faith, to now having a Divine Kingdom that has half a foot into the fourth tier, Gu Qingyang has undoubtedly traveled far on the path of the Divine Spirit, gaining quite a bit of insight along the way.
As the saying goes.
If a Divine Spirit wishes to gain faith from followers, the followers also wish to gain corresponding benefits from the Divine Spirit.
Peace!
Wealth!
Longevity!
Power!
All these desires and needs are what the followers long for.
Gu Qingyang built the Divine Kingdom chat group, which greatly satisfied the needs of the followers.
However, as the followers become increasingly powerful, if the Divine Spirit cannot continue to provide corresponding benefits, then the faith of the followers in the Divine Spirit is bound to change.
Over the years.
Gu Qingyang has witnessed many fanatic believers falling to true believers, and true believers falling to general believers.
The only fortunate thing is that no general believers have abandoned their faith.
After all, once one abandons their faith, it’s impossible to rejoin the Divine Kingdom chat group.
Therefore.
Before the tier-four Divine Kingdom store is completed, Gu Qingyang can still rely on the Divine Kingdom chat group to stabilize his foundation.
In such cases.
Gu Qingyang couldn’t help but silently commend himself again for establishing the Divine Kingdom chat group. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
It must be said.
This approach is indeed wise.
If not for the Divine Kingdom chat group as a medium, Gu Qingyang would have likely lost a lot of faith over the years.
Sometimes, stabilizing the foundation is an exceedingly difficult task.
As the Divine Kingdom continuously advances, the role of the Divine Kingdom chat group becomes increasingly important to the followers, making their faith more devout.
Likewise.
The devout faith of the followers facilitates a quicker advancement of the Divine Kingdom.
This is a virtuous cycle.
Notably.
In the past five years.
Gu Qingyang’s strength has steadily grown, and the Evergreen Ancient Tree and other ancient trees to which he has imparted intelligence have also made breakthroughs at different levels.
Among them.
The Evergreen Ancient Tree, as the first to break through to low rank tier three, has already stepped into high rank tier three within five years, and with a little more accumulation, it can strive for perfection in tier three.
The remaining Celestial Spirit Ancient Tree and Earthly Evil Ancient Tree, among others, have all uniformly entered mid rank tier three.
Logically speaking.
With Gu Qingyang overseeing the Kunlun Mountain Range, the spiritual Qi there is the most abundant, unmatched by other places.
Coupled with the fact that the Evergreen Ancient Tree and others are practicing top-tier tier-three cultivation techniques, their advantages in all aspects are unparalleled.
Even an individual with ordinary talent, under different circumstances, would now have the qualifications to reach perfection in tier three.
In this regard.
Gu Qingyang suspects it is related to the essence of the ancient trees.
"The lifespan of ancient trees differs from ordinary people; if an ordinary person steps into tier three, their lifespan can break the limits of the ordinary, reaching around three hundred years.
But the lifespans of the ancient trees themselves are extremely long. As ancient trees like the Evergreen Ancient Tree enter tier three, their lifespan might be calculated in tens of thousands of years.
A long lifespan naturally leads to slower cultivation. This is considered a balance within the universe!"
With an increasing understanding of the universe, Gu Qingyang has developed his own perspectives on the world.
The Heavenly Dao is just.
Everything in the world has its balance.
It is not easy for the ancient trees themselves to develop intelligence, and even if they do, their cultivation is particularly slow; this is a side effect of long life spans.
Subsequently.
Gu Qingyang thought of himself.
He possesses the long lifespan of ancient trees, while his breakthrough speed is incredibly fast, completely against reasoning.
However.
Gu Qingyang soon felt at ease again.
Being able to live again, in itself, is an unreasonable occurrence.
Therefore, being different from other ancient trees now is also perfectly normal.
"Besides..."
"Since gathering faith and establishing the Divine Kingdom, my essence now is no longer that of an ordinary ancient tree but a Divine Tree, fitting the term of Divine Spirit in both past and present lives."
Gu Qingyang calmed himself and quietly began recuperating the Divine Soul Power that had been exhausted from recent enlightenment.
...
Seasons alternate.
Time passes.
When Gu Qingyang once again found his Divine Soul exhausted and withdrew from the state of merging with heaven and earth, he looked at his data panel.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Divine Tree
Lifespan: 22/70,000
Tier: High rank tier four (6,000,000/7,000,000)
Divine Kingdom: Tier three (1,035,900,000/1,000,000,000)
Innate Divine Techniques: Divine Tree Spirit Root (tier four), Divine Fruit (tier four), Divine Whisper (tier four), Eye of True Sight (tier four), Divine Kingdom Domain (tier four), Summon Wind and Rain (tier four)
...
"Finally enough!"
Looking at the Faith Power that had just surpassed the one-billion mark, reaching one billion thirty-five million, Gu Qingyang knew his estimation was correct.
This time’s tally.
Amounted to not just 1.5 billion.
After six years, the Divine Kingdom can finally break through from tier three to tier four.
Without hesitation.
Gu Qingyang advanced the Divine Kingdom.
As the vast Faith Power expanded the Divine Kingdom, it made Gu Qingyang’s Sea of Consciousness resound, and as the Divine Kingdom space became more stable, his Divine Soul rapidly grew larger.
If Gu Qingyang’s Divine Soul Power was one before, it is now ten.
With the Divine Kingdom advancing from tier three to tier four, his Divine Soul Power soared tenfold.
...
Kunlun Mountain Range.
Divine Trees stand tall.
A subtle wave emanated from Gu Qingyang, tearing the sky clouds apart as if an invisible giant hand had stirred them, causing the winds and clouds to surge.
The overwhelming oppressive force, akin to heavenly might, caused a trace of fear to arise in the hearts of beings like the Evergreen Ancient Tree.
"Father God’s power has grown stronger!"
Although they could not see Gu Qingyang’s changes, they could instinctively perceive it.
For the one who created their existence, beings like the Evergreen Ancient Tree harbored absolute reverence.
This is the level of faith akin to being born a Saint Apprentice, where abandoning faith is not even a possibility.
Elsewhere.
Gu Qingyang sobered up from the changes brought by his breakthrough.
Then, he looked again at his data panel.
...
Name: Gu Qingyang
Essence: Divine Tree
Lifespan: 22/70,000
Tier: High rank tier four (6,000,000/7,000,000)
Divine Kingdom: Tier four (35,900,000/10,000,000,000)
Innate Divine Techniques: Divine Tree Spirit Root (tier four), Divine Fruit (tier four), Divine Whisper (tier four), Eye of True Sight (tier four), Divine Kingdom Domain (tier four), Summon Wind and Rain (tier four)
...
Upon seeing that advancing to a fifth-tier Divine Kingdom required one hundred billion Faith Power, Gu Qingyang, although expecting it, could not help but be slightly shaken.
It took him six years to gather ten billion Faith Power.
To gather a hundred billion Faith Power to establish a fifth-tier Divine Kingdom would take at least several decades.
However.
Gu Qingyang wasn’t overly concerned; he was currently more interested in converting Faith Power into Evolution Value after the fourth-tier Divine Kingdom.
