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

Two days later.

Lin Yu and his group had already left Tiandu City and entered the area of ​​Yun'an City.

Standing atop the mountain, he gazed at the entire city with a melancholy look in his eyes.

"After passing Yun'an City, the next province is Beijing, the Forbidden City."

Lin Yu was filled with excitement, his blood was boiling.

at the same time.

The capital city of Tiandu was behind them.

Suddenly it became lively, with many more experts appearing.

These were all experts who had gathered from all over the country. Some came to watch the show, some to investigate the temple's secrets, and others came with a mission.

In a camp, forty or fifty people gathered together.

"Song Caitongzi, is your intelligence accurate?"

A woman in white spoke, her voice cold and clear.

She was tall and slender, wearing a half-mask on her face, with a calm expression, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.

"Moon Goddess, don't worry. According to the route taken by Master Shi and the others, they will arrive at Tiandu City by tonight at the latest. And the mountain range we are currently in is their only route."

The young man, known as the "money-bringing boy," was dressed in a magnificent robe made of exquisite fabric.

He held a fan in his hand and said with a smile.

His gaze was always fixed on the woman; there was no lust, only appreciation.

"Master and his group will surely pass through this place. My concern is that we might not be able to stop them," Song Caitongzi said worriedly.

The person in the Forbidden City promised him many benefits before he agreed to help.

Who knew they were here to stop the horror theme park from opening in Beijing? Isn't that ridiculous?

The senior and junior students at Thriller Park are truly top-tier S-rank powerhouses.

For an S-level expert like him to go up there is just courting death, isn't it?

If Qin Shi Mingyue hadn't also come, he would have already run away with the experts from the Xin Yue Club.

There are many experts in Qin's Moon, and the Moon Goddess is also a super S-level powerhouse, which gave him a bit of confidence.

"Perhaps, there's no need for a battle between us and Thriller Paradise," Luna thought to herself.

She wasn't very confident if she really took action.

After all, their opponent is the world's number one.

One-on-one is fine, but there are two super sadists in the horror park, and you're all alone with them, which is undoubtedly a lot of pressure.

"Any strong person with a brain can figure out what that person is thinking. Are you really willing to be governed and controlled by the temple?" Song Caitongzi suddenly spoke up, changing the subject.

"Do you think the temple has the power to unify all evolved beings in the world?" the Moon Goddess countered.

"It's hard to say. The core strength is probably the strongest in the temple, after all, they still control most of the army."

"If we're talking about top-tier experts, the temple probably doesn't even have one-tenth of the nation's total."

Song Caitongzi frowned and said.

The ten strongest warriors in the temple are all rated S-rank or higher. Adding in some hidden ones, there are at most 20 experts.

However, according to the last census by Tianjizi, the number of S-level and super S-level powerhouses in the entire Great Xia Dynasty was close to one hundred.

After a rough calculation, Song Caitongzi shook his head: "It's difficult unless they can recruit or win over most of the top experts."

"Haven't we, Qin's Moon, and your Heart Club already been won over?"

The Moon Goddess slowly said, "Who can guarantee how many of the world's major guilds have been won over by the Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Song Caitong was startled.

After thinking about it carefully for a moment, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.

He paused for a moment and argued, "My Heartfelt Club is just making a deal with that person. It doesn't mean I have to obey the temple's orders from now on. This doesn't count as being recruited."

"That is indeed the case, but what we are doing now is seen by others as acting on behalf of the temple and standing on the temple's side. This is an indelible mark."

The Moon Goddess spoke calmly: "Perhaps our actions will be publicized by that person, making the whole world know about them. At that time, you won't be able to deny it even if you don't want to."

"Depend on!"

"That old man plotted against me?" Song Caitongzi suddenly became a little anxious.

"If you want to wash away the mark of the temple from your body, you must publicly oppose the temple."

"But do you dare?"

The Moon Goddess's words were like a bucket of cold water, filling him with a sense of fear.

"Do you dare?" The three words pressed down like a mountain, making Song Caitong feel suffocated.

If he were to openly declare his rebellion against the temple, it probably wouldn't be long before his Heart Club was completely wiped out.

But if he says nothing, he will truly be branded as a member of the temple.

They will inevitably be assimilated and incorporated into the temple in the future.

"And what about you? You know all this, so why did you willingly enter the game and become that person's pawn?"

Suddenly, Song Caitongzi looked up and stared at the Moon Goddess.

Since this woman sees things so clearly, there's no reason for her to willingly become a pawn.

"Even if we disagree, that person will bring in other guilds, and nothing will change."

"That person wants to unify the world, which is the general trend. We don't have the ability to go against the trend."

The moon goddess's gaze was deep and mysterious, as if she saw through everything.

"So we're just going to let him scheme against us like this?" Song Caitongzi asked, somewhat annoyed.

Even in this apocalyptic world, after finally gaining immense power and becoming a regional overlord, he was unwilling to remain under someone else's control.

"wait!"

Upon hearing this, Song Caitongzi was slightly taken aback: "Waiting for what?"

"Waiting for someone to break the deadlock."

"magician?"

Song Caitongzi quickly realized that the person the Moon Goddess was talking about could be the magician.

"That's right. The one in the Forbidden City has set up such a grand scheme. Although it was rushed, it's still quite remarkable. If the magician can break through this scheme, it will be like a ray of light for us."

A light seemed to flicker in the moon goddess's eyes.

"You mean, if magicians succeed, then all the strong in the world will follow suit, making it very difficult for the temple to incorporate them?"

"If the magician fails, then all the powerful figures in the world will lose their confidence in fighting against the temple. As a result, they will be defeated one by one and absorbed into the other."

Song Caitongzi's eyes lit up, and he understood.

"That makes sense. If Thriller Paradise and Eternal Day can't resist, then what power do the other guilds have to resist?"

"Being incorporated will become inevitable, and the general trend of the world will gradually become unified."

The eyes beneath the moon goddess mask gaze into the distance, murmuring to themselves.

"Unfortunately, if the temple were steered by the ten pillars, it would probably go astray."

"What I don't understand is, if that's the case, why did we stop Master Song? Wouldn't it be better to let him lend a hand to the magician?" Song Caitongzi asked in confusion.

"The horror theme park has two super S's, it's normal that we can't stop them, isn't it?"

The moon goddess suddenly laughed.

This smile was like the melting of ten thousand years of ice.

Even with the mask on, Song Caitongzi was stunned.

The Moon Goddess seemed to sense something, her smile faded, and she glanced at him indifferently.

Just then, a voice came from high above.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, gentlemen."
