Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

After the divine punishment left, Lin Yu remained in the trial space.

He's ready to try out the latest form.

"Thunder Dragon Flame Form!"

As crimson flames erupted from his body, accompanied by cyan lightning swirling around him.

His aura surged instantly, and the terrifying power shattered the earth.

"So this is the Thunder Dragon Flame form? It's incredibly powerful."

"His strength has doubled, and his speed has doubled as well."

Lin Yu transformed into a bolt of lightning, experiencing this newfound power and speed.

I was very happy.

Previously, in his Dragon Flame form, his strength increased threefold, and his other attributes doubled.

At this moment, in the Thunder Dragon Flame form, his strength increases by 4 times, his speed increases by 3 times, and all other attributes are doubled.

This is a huge improvement!

"The Forbidden City of Kyoto, the Wang family's Phoenix Stone, Xie Haoran of the Xie family, here I come."

……

Two more days passed.

A large number of Tier 3 powerhouses have appeared on the world rankings.

"It seems that all countries are starting to exert their efforts." Lin Yu looked at the people on the ranking list and fell into deep thought.

World Rank Ranking.

[Master, Xia, Third Rank]

[Magician, Great Xia, Third Tier]

[Blade, Great Xia, Tier 3]

King Arthur, Great Britain, Tier 3

[Wang Fengzi, Da Xia, Tier 3]

[Xie Haoran, Great Xia, Third Tier]

【Chizuru, Cherry Blossom Country, Rank 3】

[Gabriel, Heaven, Third Order]

[Eight Pillar Gods, Cherry Blossom Country, Tier 3]

……

On the world leaderboard, the number of people who advanced to the third tier instantly reached 71.

That's a terrifying number.

The vast majority of these were due to the conflict between the hundred nations, which led each nation to create its own deity!

Resources are prioritized for the strongest empires.

That's why so many Tier 3 individuals suddenly appeared; the vast majority of these people have the support of the empire's resources.

There are very few people like Master Brother and Lin Yu who can rely on their own strength to be ranked among the top.

"It seems that even the Dawn hasn't reached the third level yet."

Lin Yu scanned the entire list and found no glimmer of hope among the third tier.

Finally, I saw his name at number 92, still at level 2.

It should be noted that Dawn is the number one in the strongest sequence, and his strength is unknown to anyone. At this moment, he is not even at the third rank.

It is clear that with the support of the empire, even in the apocalypse, one can have an advantage over everyone else.

Lin Yu only glanced at it briefly, his gaze finally settling on the sixth-place name.

[Xie Haoran, Great Xia, Third Tier]

"You've finally shown yourself."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, his killing intent intense.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Empire will officially establish the Temple of Evolution, ushering in a new order.

"Xie Haoran, even if your Xie family is a pillar of the Temple of Evolution, I will still cut off his life."

……

On the forum.

The emergence of third-tier powerhouses, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, ignited everyone's emotions.

"Why have so many Tier 3 experts suddenly appeared in just two days? This is terrifying!"

"Exactly, I finally managed to level up to level one yesterday, and now there are tons of level threes already."

Someone spoke up helplessly.

"Haha, our Chizuru-kun and the Eight Pillar Gods are both close to the top ten in the world. They are both rated as super S-class powerhouses. They will definitely be the champions in the battle of a hundred countries."

"What does 'Super S-rank' mean? Isn't the highest rating S-rank?" someone asked, puzzled.

"The people of Great Xia are so short-sighted. They can get an S rating after passing the fifth level of the Trial Tower. Although they can also get an S rating after passing the sixth level, it is much, much more difficult than the fifth level. We call it Super S..."

"The Great Xia Kingdom must have no experts who have cleared the sixth level, right? They don't even know about Super S."

"Haha, they definitely don't have any. Our Sakura Country has seven Super S-level powerhouses."

People from Japan always have this smug, petty attitude; it's disgusting.

"Damn it, you little rascal, you even got it installed, huh?"

"If your Sakura Country can have seven Super S-rank experts, then our Great Xia Country must have at least 30!"

"You guys? You don't even know Super S? And there are 30 of you? That's hilarious."

"Little puppy, take advantage of the time you have to see the cherry blossoms in your hometown more often, because you won't be able to see them many more times."

Tang Sanzang of the Exploding Heaven Gang almost gritted his teeth as he typed out these words.

He vowed that he would flatten Cherry Blossom Mountain in his lifetime.

The World Forum is a place where people argue every day.

Just then, a post from the Great Xia Empire appeared on the Great Xia Empire Forum.

The Empire has officially established the Temple of Evolution, inviting all evolvers to join. The strongest will receive priority access to Imperial resources.

Currently, the Temple of Evolution has 19 Tier 3 powerhouses.

This post caused a huge stir.

Everyone realized that the sudden appearance of these Tier 3 experts over the past two days was actually due to resources from the Empire.

"We're in Jiang Province, how can we join? It's too far from Kyoto." Someone asked a question that echoed the thoughts of many evolved beings.

[The following cities will have branch temples established; nearby evolved individuals are welcome to join.]

Below the post, some cities are listed.

Clearly, these cities all have armies that have responded to the empire's call.

In an instant, countless evolved beings were moved.

"This day has finally come."

Some powerful evolved beings became increasingly worried.

The Empire has already begun to recruit evolved individuals, though it's supposed to be voluntary. But what about in a few years?

Once the vast majority of evolved beings are gathered together, and with top-tier experts among them, they will have no choice but to obey the temple's orders.

"Well, let's wait and see if those strong individuals on the list will be recruited."

"I estimate it will be difficult. With the strength of those powerful individuals, it's unlikely they would submit to anyone. The key issue is that joining an imperial force presents too many restrictions..."

……

Forbidden City.

"My lord, many evolved beings on the forum support joining the temple," Blade said.

"Yes, as expected. The key question is whether any top experts are willing to join?" the old man said slowly.

"There are some contacts, but the strongest are only rated A-level. No S-level experts have appeared yet."

"As a super S-level expert, you should know how terrifying experts at this level are; it's not something that can be compensated for by sheer numbers," the old man sighed.

A super S-level powerhouse can only be fought against by those of the same level.

If more A-level evolved beings were sent up, they would basically all be cannon fodder.

"Go and contact those powerful figures on the list, and see if you can bring them in."

"Especially the Master and the Magician, who relied on their own abilities to enter the third tier even faster than you, although they benefited from the rat swarm, it is still remarkable."

The old man's eyes were filled with the light of wisdom.

"I understand, I'll get on it right away."

Blade responded.
