Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Sequence Number 1, Wen Yu, you are now rewarded with exclusive control authority over the tiered battle ground, the Ring Star Sector!”

”Tiered Battle Ground, Ring Star Sector: to better ensure the homeworld isn’t wrecked by the aftermath of battles between powerful professionists, and even more so to cultivate low-level professionists so they won’t suffer the Destruction of high-Level demon fiends, the Dominator used supreme might to draw in star-fragment debris and created the tiered battle ground. Within the tiered battle ground, the Dominator set a strict level system: high-Level demon fiends are forbidden from appearing in low-level zones, but no restrictions are imposed on professionists and mutant creatures.”

”The tiered battle ground, Ring Star Sector was forged by the Dominator three years ago. Internally it’s roughly the size of the entire Solar System, within which countless continental fragments of all sizes are scattered. The land is fertile and rich in various mineral resources. At the same time, the spatial load-bearing capacity and land load-bearing capacity of the tiered battle ground, Ring Star Sector are far above that of native Earth. Once Sequence Number 1 of this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle obtains the tiered battle ground, they will automatically grasp its highest authority, able to freely set the level zones inside the tiered battle ground, and can also place all existing Demon Realm’s Gates on Earth into the tiered battle ground. They may likewise open or close the passage between the tiered battle ground and Earth at any time. But please note: the tiered battle ground possesses a core. Once that core is found and shattered by Demon Fiends, the Demon Tribe within the tiered battle ground will be able to freely enter and exit Earth.”

”Currently there is a fully developed city in the region where the core of the tiered battle ground resides. This is the main city of the tiered battle ground, Ring Star Sector. The owner of the main city is fixed as Sequence Number 1 of this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle. The main city covers an area of 1 million square kilometers, with extremely complete internal facilities. Please make good use of it, because this will be Earth’s strongest shield!”

Watching the last light sphere beside the Golden Armor drift down into his own hand, Wen Yu took a deep breath, then directly tore open the light membrane wrapped around the reward.

As the light membrane dissolved into radiance and scattered, the ultimate reward belonging to Sequence Number 1 was revealed in front of everyone.

It was a chip, about the size of a little finger, circulating with a faint glow...

There was even a considerate line of text on the chip.

”Tiered Battle Ground, Ring Star Sector main-control core CPU (????): Eat it, and you will obtain full control authority over the tiered battle ground’s control core! Trust me, you are the king of the world!”

Sounds overbearing, but whoever obtains control authority over the tiered battle ground, Ring Star Sector, basically owns the whole world—that part is actually true. Can Earth even compare to the tiered battle ground?

It’s easy to foresee that the future great development of the tiered battle ground will inevitably involve all lifeforms on Earth—migration, governance, reshuffling of strength and factions, and all kinds of things... As the strength of professionists keeps rising, Earth Lord really seems about to reach its limit. Didn’t you see that when Wen Yu and Old Tang went head-to-head, neither of them dared use their ultimate moves...

Wen Yu examined the item he’d just obtained for a moment, then decisively stuffed it into his mouth. The moment the CPU entered, it immediately turned into a pure energy flow, swiftly rushing into Wen Yu’s body. After a while, when Wen Yu opened his eyes, a dazed look instantly flashed across them.

The so-called main-control core was indeed the real deal. With it, Wen Yu could freely open a teleportation channel to the tiered battle ground at any location, and could also transfer all existing Demon Realm’s Gates on Earth into the tiered battle ground and tag them—this one is a Level 1 Demon Realm’s Gate, that one is Level 2...

The various effects are too many to explain to outsiders. In short, this thing absolutely counts as a treasure capable of altering the entire world structure!

As for how exactly it should be used... that’s not something Wen Yu alone gets to decide...

”Rewards have been fully distributed. I now announce that the second Sequence Member-Ranking Battle is hereby concluded. The next Sequence Member-Ranking Battle will restart in no less than three years, and will require a joint application from the top ten Sequence members’ powerful experts.”

Once the Golden Armor finished speaking, it instantly vanished without a trace, and the defensive barrier covering the Million Victories Arena also dispersed like smoke.

The Million Victories Arena fell quiet in an instant.

...

With the excitement over, the onlookers crowding around the Exchange Stone Pillar to watch the live broadcast, those melon-eating spectators, all dispersed. To them, this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle really was nothing more than some spectacle.

Of course, the smarter and more sharp-eyed among them could see what the tiered battle ground truly represented—this concerned not only the Human Race, but also the leaders of each mutant beast tribe.

When the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle ended, the Sea King immediately flew toward the place where Earth’s will resided. No one knew what was discussed between him and Earth’s will, but in any case, when the Sea King walked out from the underground cave, his face was full of satisfied smiles.

Tiered battle ground... As Earth’s second largest race, and the race Earth’s will relies most heavily upon, there’s no way the Sea Clan wouldn’t dip their toes into this grand event. As for how they get involved...

Under the banner of greater good, Tang Haofei had no grounds to refuse! And with Tang Haofei pleading on their behalf, Wen Yu obviously wouldn’t care about such a small matter.

That’s right, the large-scale migration of the Sea King Tribe into the tiered battle ground, Ring Star Sector really wasn’t a big deal to Wen Yu—in fact, this tiered battle ground not only does not belong solely to Wen Yu, it doesn’t even belong solely to professionists. It will become common property of the entire Star, while what belongs to Wen Yu is only the core city of the tiered battle ground—that already-completed main city.

That’s more than enough... Wen Yu honestly has no interest in playing savior, or ”king of the world”. The logic is simple: this tiered battle ground is Wen Yu’s lifeboat!

...

After the Golden Armor left, Lin Haifeng was the first to walk up to Wen Yu. He cupped his hands to Wen Yu, his face beaming as he said, ”Congratulations, congratulations...”

”Congratulate who? Yourself?”

Wen Yu glanced at Lin Haifeng and didn’t dig deeper into the topic—when it comes to gains from this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle, Lin Haifeng is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

”Hehe...”

Lin Haifeng just let out two dry laughs, then shifted the subject.

”So, about the development of the tiered battle ground...”

”Naturally the sooner the better, but I still need to go into the tiered battle ground first to take a look at the situation. Come find me in a couple of days for the details. I’ll explain everything to you, and the specific regulations will be drafted by you. I only have one condition—the main city of the tiered battle ground belongs exclusively to me. You’d better not reach your hand toward that, or don’t blame me for chopping off your claws! Mm, I’ll station a Soul Puppet to guard the main city of the tiered battle ground.”

Wen Yu doesn’t have the ability, nor the ambition, to swallow all the resources of the entire tiered battle ground for himself. Grow the cake bigger, and even if his slice is smaller, Wen Yu will harvest far more than he would from a small cake. And Lin Haifeng’s specialty is precisely enlarging the cake!

He’s a pretty damn competent pastry chef...

Besides, Wen Yu also worried that the tiered battle ground might end up in a situation like Eternal Sky City. But with Wen Yu personally sitting in the main city of the tiered battle ground, it’s hard to imagine some farcical seizure-of-power happening. Furthermore, once Wen Yu actually uses the tiered battle ground to survive this calamity, the ownership of the tiered battle ground won’t even be that important.

Everything is just a matter of time!

”No problem there!”

Lin Haifeng agreed in one breath—forget Wen Yu, even the powers of Yanjing couldn’t swallow the entire tiered battle ground in one go. This is bound to be a grand development campaign that the whole populace participates in!

”By the way, there’s an auction starting later. Want to come along?”

Lin Haifeng extended an invitation, and after thinking for a moment, Wen Yu reacted—this was the little matter he’d arranged with Mountain Kui before the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle. The goal was simply to move goods. Even if there was anything useful in the batch, Mountain Kui would set it aside for Wen Yu in advance—he’s done this kind of thing far too many times.

So Wen Yu shook his head. ”Forget it, you guys go. I’m not really interested in that.”

With that, Wen Yu turned into a streak of Black Light and vanished at the end of the sky.
