Of course, Ye Fan didn't make any definitive statements.
After all, this Universe Tree was ultimately an unknown entity.
Even Ye Fan's understanding of Universe Tree came entirely from what he heard from Wan'er.
So, in response to Ye Qingtian's question, Ye Fan simply told him that it would be difficult to deal with Universe Tree.
After saying all that, Ye Fan was ready to leave.
His visit to Mount Yan was merely to inform them, and allowed them to prepare in advance.
After all, if the worst-case scenario did indeed occur, being prepared undoubtedly yielded a much greater sense of pride than being caught off guard.
However, before leaving, Ye Qingtian really hope that Ye Fan could stay and brainstorm with them.
But Ye Fan declined.
“War God, I have my own matters to attend to.”
“So, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight alongside you anymore.
“However, speaking from my heart, Earth is also my home, and naturally, I wouldn't want it to meet its end in our generation.
“So, I will prevent the disaster from happening in my own way.
“However, my personal strength and planning are ultimately limited.
“The best strategy for now is to harness the power and wisdom of all mankind.
“Perhaps, there will be talents greater than us among the people. They will be capable of devising solutions we cannot conceive, and capable of resolving crises beyond our ability.
“Of course, the task of mobilizing everyone in the world can only be entrusted to relevant authorities.
“War God, take care.
“May we have the chance to meet again in the future.”
Ye Fan gave a slight bow with his fist to War God, then turned around and left.
Watching Ye Fan's departing figure, War God and others had very complex thoughts.
From Ye Fan's words, they could tell that he was quite pessimistic about the future of the Earth.
Even his final words felt like a heart-wrenching farewell.
“It seems the situation is quite serious.”
“Even a proud person like Chu Tianfan is saying such pessimistic words.”
“We really need to plan carefully on how to proceed with the next step of our work.”
Sword Saint who stood aside felt a heavy heart, seeing nothing but uncertainty in the path ahead.
Ye Qingtian remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed. “Since this matter concerns the life and death, the future destiny of all mankind, it should be decided by all of humanity.”
“Initiate contact with the martial arts world of Western Epea, Adrune, Smealand, and other countries to convene a global meeting of International Martial Arts Union.”
“At the same time, senior officials from the United Nations in the secular world should also participate in the meeting.”
“Just as Ye Fan said, perhaps only by harnessing the wisdom and strength of all humanity, can we possibly survive this apocalyptic crisis.”
These words from Ye Fan had a profound impact on Ye Qingtian.
So, that very night, War God Castle of China suggested that they depart to convene the meeting for International Martial Arts Union. They also requested that personnel from the secular world to be present to participate and observe the meeting.
This meeting, as always, was presided over by Sword Saint.
At the meeting, Sword Saint relayed Ye Fan's words to everyone in a straightforward manner.
“What?”
“Are you saying that we only have ten years left for the Earth?”
“Ten years later, the Earth is destroyed and the world annihilated?”
“Is...is this really true?”
Everyone was undeniably shaken.
Before, they thought that no matter how powerful Universe Tree was, it shouldn't be capable of destroying the entire world.
After all, the previous crisis of Chu Sect, as well as the disaster caused by Symborsus, resulted in very limited damage.
But now, Sword Saint had actually said that ten years from now, eight billion people worldwide may all perish in this catastrophe.
“I wonder, could it be that Chu Tianfan is just trying to scare us?”
“Does Universe Tree truly possess such immense power?”
“Could the entire Earth be destroyed within a decade?”
This news was utterly inconceivable, and everyone simply couldn't bring themselves to believe it.
Sword Saint replied, “I can't be certain about the truth of this news.”
“Moreover, the scientists we dispatched a few days ago have not reported their findings yet.”
“So I wouldn't dare to draw a specific conclusion.”
“However, we must always prepare for the worst.”
