Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”If that’s what you’re saying, then what’s the point of even trying? Shouldn’t we just pack up and wait for death? That would be much quicker, wouldn’t it?”

Wen Yu wasn’t wrong.

What is Heaven? What is God?

Anything that can be resisted, that can be struck down, can only be a false god! A fake heaven!

It sounds noble to go against Heaven, but the myriad hidden killing intents beneath that phrase were enough to make one shudder.

Was Qi Tian Da Sheng truly formidable? Wasn’t he still smacked down by Buddha Tathagata, pinned for 500 years?

Besides, could Buddha Tathagata even compare to Heaven?

Wen Yu admitted to himself that he lacked such bearing and boldness.

”Then you can just go die! But you don’t want to die! You want to live, and live freely! Live with flair! Don’t you see how contradictory you are?”

”No! I’m not contradictory at all!”

Wen Yu decisively responded.

”I came this time just to understand the truth, and incidentally, to admire the bearing of your former master.”

”Let me be honest with you. If your former master truly had some scheme, wanting to force me to confront the Dominator, heh...”

Wen Yu lightly shook his neck.

”If it really comes to that, I’ll slaughter you immediately to express my reverence for the Dominator!”

The Almighty Demon Vine chuckled drily. ”Heh.”

”That’s only because the Dominator’s butcher knife hasn’t fallen on your neck yet.”

With these words, silence fell between the man and the vine.

Some things can’t be said out in the open.

But here, what the Almighty Demon Vine said seemed much more transparent.

How did the Almighty Immortal Emperor die?

The Almighty Demon Vine had explained it so clearly that Wen Yu didn’t even feel the need to delve deeper into the topic.

However, this led to even more questions!

The Dominator, using a Gu-rearing method, turned Earth into His pigsty. Initially, Wen Yu thought the Dominator’s goal was to cultivate an ultimate powerful expert!

But after discussing with Tang Haofei, Tang Haofei’s guess was that the Dominator wanted to harvest human magic crystals to increase His own strength.

Judging by the fate of the Almighty Immortal Emperor, the latter possibility seemed more likely.

You raise pigs, fatten them up, and naturally, you slaughter them for meat. For Wen Yu, this was possibly the worst-case scenario. In the former case, Wen Yu could still try to strive to become that ultimate powerful expert favored by the Dominator!

But the latter meant the stronger you became, the faster you’d die!

Yet, the threat of the demon plague compelled everyone to become stronger—this was another vicious cycle.

Using these methods, the Dominator had effectively trapped all humans in a deadly loop, and in this loop, there was only one outcome—death!

Only death could allow one to escape the game rules set by the Dominator. This left Wen Yu no choice but to contend, no choice but to resist.

And to be an enemy of the Dominator...

At least for this moment, Wen Yu suddenly felt a chill creep into his heart.

This was an unsolvable cycle of death; the Dominator hadn’t left professionists even a sliver of a chance to live!

Perhaps from the very beginning, the Dominator had firmly positioned Himself as the final boss. Any creature wishing to survive could not escape a direct confrontation with the Dominator!

”Do you get it now?”

The Almighty Demon Vine’s Spiritual Fluctuation transmitted into Wen Yu’s mind.

”Understand what?”

Wen Yu deliberately played dumb.

”Confronting the Dominator is inevitable. You must understand, a pig’s ultimate fate is only to be slaughtered and eaten. I will take you to see the entire history of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes resisting the demon plague. I will take you to see the legendary past of my old master’s life. Then, those things will dispel all your wishful thinking and make you understand one fact.”

”Under the Dominator’s grasp, how incredibly difficult your simple wish to just stay alive will be!”

”Hmm, your thinking isn’t wrong, and I’m willing to go take a look with you.”

”But, you might be overlooking one thing. I’m only Level 5...”

Hearing Wen Yu’s grumble, the Almighty Demon Vine slowly sent back a Spiritual Fluctuation.

”No, level isn’t important. As long as the seed is sown, there will sooner or later be a moment it takes root and sprouts.”

Having said this much, Wen Yu didn’t feel like saying anything more for the time being.

More importantly, Wen Yu had already entered this treasure land. Whatever happened, he himself would have to bear the consequences.

And Wen Yu, too, was prepared to accept the risks that accompanied the benefits.

Gazing at the vast number of shattered land fragments in the distance, resembling floating islands, Wen Yu didn’t perceive any immediate risks.

However, he had already obtained some benefits—at the very least, the Almighty Demon Vine’s words contained a good deal of intelligence!

This counted as a relatively perfect start.

As for the rest, that would depend on the Dominator...

CLIP, CLOP...

Clear footsteps echoed through the dim corridor.

Throughout the corridor, countless miniature spherical models were placed on both sides as decorations.

Protector Number 1, clad in golden armor, walked expressionlessly through the gloomy and oppressive corridor. Only when he emerged from the corridor into a spacious and bright hall did he finally let out a deep, turbid breath.

Even for Protector Number 1, the strongest Guardian under the Dominator, the ”World Corridor” he had just passed through still made him feel oppressed and terrified.

That was the unwilling, despairing lament of countless destroyed, resentful souls and world-essences!

And to the Dominator, these ”little things” were merely His trophies and collectibles for show!

Sweeping aside the negative emotions in his mind, Protector Number 1 looked at the majestic hall before him, slowly bowed, and knelt on the ground.

”Master, the surveillance of the Almighty Demon Vine has yielded results...”

”The Almighty Demon Vine?”

A majestic voice resounded from all directions. Even as the most powerful Guardian, Golden Armor could only feel a deafening roar in his mind.

The Dominator’s power was boundless, unimaginable...

But He was not the only one in this world; He still had opponents! He still had troubles!

And thinking about everything He had done to him, to his world...

At this thought, Golden Armor quickly reined in his thoughts—in the Dominator’s presence, such ideas and emotional fluctuations were all extremely dangerous!

Thus, Golden Armor respectfully replied to the Dominator.

”Master, it is the potted plant left behind by the Almighty Immortal Emperor.”

”Oh, now that you mention it, I recall. I gave it to Sequence Number 2 some time ago, didn’t I?”

”Yes, Master.”

”Meaning, the Soul within the Almighty Demon Vine has awakened?”

”Yes.”

After a simple reply, silence instantly fell between the Dominator and Golden Armor.

The Dominator was contemplating, while Golden Armor merely dared not make a sound.

”This timing... it seems a bit early...”

Hearing the Dominator’s words, Golden Armor hesitated for a moment but still couldn’t resist reminding Him.

”Master, wasn’t all of this arranged by You?”

”No! No! This wasn’t My arrangement. This was probably arranged by the Almighty Immortal Emperor, or perhaps it’s just a coincidence? Who knows. At least I don’t have the time to concern Myself with how some dead little fellow’s potted plant is doing!”
