Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Fang Bai, come with me, I will lead you to the pinnacle, to see views you could never see.”

The Demigod’s eyes showed a trace of eagerness and desire, facing Fang Bai, the Demigod was moved.

A man who values loyalty, always seeing himself as the big brother, possessing extreme strength, comparable to that of a super warrior, a high-ranking commander of Yanjing whose word is enough to sway the winds and clouds.

No matter which angle you look at it from, Fang Bai is an extremely useful chess piece for me, yet the current situation is such that ”internal strife and external threats” aren’t enough to describe the predicament the Demigod faces—once plans are set in motion, events have already been exposed, Yanjing cannot accommodate me, and even Wen Yu, who controls the Soul Puppet Legion, cannot accommodate me. If Wen Yu cannot accommodate me, it means the whole world cannot accommodate me, and there are monumental disputes within the organization. With Tang Haofei’s release, my status is inevitably declining.

Ultimately, the Demigod is not a god; compared to Tang Haofei and Wen Yu, he’s just an Ant. Yet even an Ant wants to live, to achieve his ultimate goal, Fang Bai would be an excellent assistance.

Therefore, the Demigod spoke with a long tone.

”Fang Bai, don’t you think this vast Yanjing is just a joke?”

Upon hearing the words of the Demigod, Fang Bai’s breath hitched, his face turned ghastly pale, and he remained silent.

”The old man is very smart; he single-handedly supported Yanjing to this extent. Tang Haofei and Wen Yu, in terms of intelligence or strategy, both are not the old man’s match, but there is a problem within this.”

The Demigod’s eyes blazed as he looked at Fang Bai, but the topic suddenly shifted to another matter.

”Do you know how I died?”

Fang Bai was still dumbfounded, his thoughts struggled to keep pace with the Demigod’s progress—the men from the Lin Family could no longer be simply described as excellent.

”I was stomped to death by Wen Yu in Las Vegas.”

When speaking of his death, the Demigod’s face was expressionless, yet his mouth twitched slightly—being stomped like an Ant, the sensation cannot be considered good.

”It’s an occupational injury, yes, according to now it’s honor, dying gloriously in battle, after all killed in duty, I don’t need Yanjing to avenge me, nor to erect a monument for me, once dead, then dead, however by chance I lived again, originally wanting to put this matter behind, to be a proper Protector God of the Yanjing Assembly Site, but the scene at my death, and the development of Yanjing over the past five years, Wen Yu’s every move keeps making me think of a question involuntarily.”

”What’s the value of everything we do?”

”Do you know, Fang Bai, my death had no value, the sacrifice of the warriors at Yanjing Assembly Site had no value, even the old man’s efforts had no value at all. Yes, he crafted Yanjing into the world’s most powerful martial group, yet under the oppression of individual power, it holds no significance. Look at Lin Haifeng now, possessing passion and a head full of schemes, but acts hesitantly, fearing to offend Wen Yu. Why? Because he knows his efforts are meaningless, he shouts empty slogans, for the Human Race, to defeat the Demon Tribe, bullshit... we don’t need him to defeat the Demon Tribe, because if Wen Yu wants to do it, I guarantee Yanjing’s soldiers won’t even see a single Demon Bastard. Do you know why Yanjing still exists now? Simply because Wen Yu needs the teleportation channel to Eternal Sky City.”

”The old man is smart; he bounded Wen Yu with interests to the war chariot of the Yanjing Assembly Site, yet this still holds no meaning. I can’t even comprehend one thing—who really speaks for Yanjing now?”

”Is it you? Or me? Or Lin Haifeng? Or Wen Yu?”

”So, what is the significance of us?”

Fang Bai remained silent. These questions are considered by anyone in Yanjing Assembly Site’s higher-ups, but the situation itself has no solution—once power reaches a certain point, it cancels out any scheme, apart from pulling in interests, Yanjing has no means to deal with Wen Yu.

However...

”Isn’t it fine as it is?”

Fang Bai expressed Yanjing’s attitude towards Wen Yu—like Wen Yu’s former attitude towards Tang Haofei—as the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up, and who is the tallest?

It used to be Tang Haofei, now it’s Wen Yu, regardless of their temperaments, can they watch Yanjing get destroyed? The world annihilate?

Rubbish... when the time comes, whether you want to or not, you’ll have to prop it up!

Upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, the Demigod’s eye corner flashed with disdain.

”Hm, I overestimated you, to place your life and death upon someone else’s whim; in your view, yes, this is indeed fine, right?”

Fang Bai was speechless, until a sudden insight burst in his mind; he abruptly looked at the Demigod.

”You want to save Tang Haofei, then have Tang Haofei kill Wen Yu?”

The Demigod’s mouth instantly twitched...

He had indeed overestimated Fang Bai’s intelligence.

”Forget it, let me be direct with you, do you know about Level 11 powerful expert? Do you know about Origin Energy? Earth’s capacity can only produce one Level 11 powerful expert, and for Level 11 experts, low-level professionists are just fodder! Tang Haofei has the right to compete, Wen Yu also has the right to compete, but why don’t I have the right? I’ve already contacted a certain entity, as long as I follow my plan, I may very well become the ultimate winner, only then can I accomplish an overtaking of Tang Haofei and Wen Yu, also making me the one and only existence in this world.”

”I need your help...”

The Demigod’s tone was warm and sincere; he gazed into Fang Bai’s eyes until Fang Bai shook his head in astonishment.

”Kuangliu, trust me, you can’t compete against those two, you might not understand how strong they are, Tang Haofei can already directly kill Level 11 powerful expert, even if you succeed, you are not a match for them...”

”Waste, it turns out you really are a waste.”

Before Fang Bai could finish, the Demigod immediately spoke, his tone not particularly angry, but more in a contemplative manner.

”You don’t understand anything at all; Treasure Land Protector is merely a defective product created by the Dominator... hai, forget it, you won’t understand even if told.”

”Knowing you can’t compete, then don’t compete, ha-ha, Fang Bai, you’ve long been worn out by the tranquility of your current life, extinguished the ambition and desire, there’s no point in discussing further.”

The Demigod gently waved his hand, stirring up the earth, continuously reinforcing the sealing force encasing Fang Bai, which quickly sank until disappearing beneath the ground.

Looking at the restored, level ground, the Demigod’s mouth curved into a cold smile.

”Placing one’s life and death in another’s hands, merely a cowardly prayer for someone else to shoulder the whole responsibility, making countless excuses for one’s smallness, even abandoning the grace of this world, abandoning the rights they should enjoy.”

He looked at the bustling far-off Yanjing, then gently shook his head.

”It turns out, your weakness doesn’t lie in power, but in spirit... this Yanjing had long before lost all courage due to the so-called Protector God, had long been corroded by peace into losing its former ambition.”

But I’m different...

The Demigod slowly squinted his eyes, seemingly reminiscing the horrible moment of being stomped to death by Wen Yu.

Weakness is original sin...

The ”Resurrected” Demigod understands this truth even better!

And now, a broad thoroughfare is laid bare in front of the Demigod; as long as things unfold as the Demigod predicts, then the sole spot for a Level 11 powerful expert in the world will completely open its arms to him!

With this thought, the Demigod’s eyes shone intensely as he looked up at Eternal Sky City, a fervent gaze covering his eyes.

That is the stepping stone to Level 11!

A sudden hum came from the communicator in his hand; Kuangliu looked down and saw Bai’s message.

”Wen Yu has solved Da Luo, notify Ye Nan to act in one minute.”

”Received.”

The Demigod put away the communicator and looked upward.

He’s awaiting the moment, waiting for the tiger to break free of its cage!
