A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2371

Time continued to slip away.

Less than two years remained until the end of the final decade.

On Mount Kransbay, that Universe Tree had already reached a height of ten thousand meters.

The massive trunk pierced the heavens.

The fallen leaves and branches nearly blotted out the sky.

As Ye Fan had said years ago, it seemed that the nutrients of Mount Kransbay were gradually becoming insufficient to support the growth of the Universe Tree.

Within a hundred-mile radius, all forms of life and vegetation had already withered away.

Even the soil of the earth had begun to show signs of desertification.

This was the result of a large amount of nutrients being absorbed.

All of these signs seemed to indicate that the prophecy made by Ye Fan years ago was about to come true.

When the nutrients of Mount Kransbay could no longer sustain the growth of the Universe Tree, the demonic claws of the Universe Tree would then reach out toward other life forms on Earth.

Of course, the humans on Earth had not been idle.

Zhang Nanhai's research on the Titan Formation had made significant theoretical advancements.

According to Zhang Nanhai's theory, the mindless accumulation of people would not infinitely enhance the power of the titan.

The fusion of the Titan Formation required an optimal balance in the number of people.

Based on this balance, the International Martial Arts Union ultimately decided to establish ten titans, each made up of twenty supreme grandmasters.

After calculations, a total of two hundred supreme grandmasters were needed.

Back in the day, during the battle of the Chu Sect, the global martial arts community suffered devastating losses, with several supreme grandmasters falling in the fray.

In the aftermath of the Symborsus crisis, the once formidable power of the supreme grandmasters was nearly exhausted.

However, after a decade of development, the sense of crisis akin to the end of the world, coupled with the abundant heaven and earth energy under the Universe Tree, helped Earth to nurture a large number of supreme grandmasters, so much so that the current number of supreme grandmasters had reached over two hundred, making history.

The number of supreme grandmasters was already so numerous, let alone those at the Grandmaster level and those below the Grandmaster level.

In summary, according to the plan, there were ten titans of the Supreme rank, one hundred titans of the Grandmaster rank, and nearly nine hundred titans of ranks below Grandmaster.

Altogether, a total of one thousand titans had been assembled.

When the end of days arrived, these thousand titans would be humanity's greatest trump card.

They would fight for the survival of mankind.

After the plan was formulated, the next step was to choose the titan leaders.

Given its significance to the survival of mankind, the loyalty of the titan leader was of utmost importance.

After all, if at a crucial moment, the titan leaders were to flee from the battlefield, too afraid to fight, the impact on the overall situation would be immense.

The selection of the titan leaders, in particular, was of paramount importance.

Ultimately, after a meeting, it was unanimously decided that the Supreme titan leaders would be elected by the collective vote of the people.

After that, they would be personally branded with the Divine Imprint by Zhang Nanhai, the creator of the Titan Formation.

It was to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

As for the titan leaders of the Grandmaster level, a portion of them were marked with the Divine Imprint by Rory, while the remaining were subjected to ideological education.

The Spiritual Imprint Formation required a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. With limited time left, Zhang Nanhai and Rory simply couldn't perform the Spiritual Imprint Formation on too many people.

In this manner, the final preparations began in earnest.

Every nation also began nominating suitable titan leaders to the Doomsday Preparation Team.

However, when everyone was choosing the titan leaders, without exception, they all excluded the strong ones from the Chu Sect and the Dragon God Hall.

These were all Ye Fan's people.

And Ye Fan, already deemed a coward by the world, had already hidden himself away in fear.

Therefore, even those who had once been under Ye Fan's command were no longer trusted.

At the foot of Mount Kransbay, numerous martial artists were training here, and even the current head of the Jones family, Michael, had come to join in the excitement.

Beside him, his wife and child were also accompanying him.

After all these years, it was the first time that Michael had stood up close beneath the Universe Tree.

He tilted his head back, gazing up at the towering Universe Tree before him, his emotions a complex whirl.
