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

The only thing everyone in the Great Xia Empire is currently focused on is the battle between Eternal Day and the Temple.

The fact that rules have been introduced shows just how popular this issue is.

Even abroad, it's a hot topic of discussion.

The attention this event garnered even surpassed that of the upcoming Hundred Kingdoms War. All the evolved beings were accumulating crystal cores to place bets, hoping to make a fortune from it.

However, the vast majority of evolved beings bet on the temple.

Few people believed that Yongzhou could win; they saw no hope.

Meanwhile, many people are still hesitant and waiting to see if anything will change in the end. They just want to place their bets before the big battle between the two sides.

However, just now, a lot of news appeared on the forum, which is very unfavorable to Yongzhou.

"I saw the master from Thriller Park heading north, but he was stopped halfway by the Moon Goddess and Linjiangxian from Qin's Moon."

"What does that mean? Is Master going to help the magician? I heard they're on good terms."

"Damn, Linjiangxian and Yueshen are both super S-level powerhouses, why would they make a move? Could it be because of the temple?"

"I've been hesitant to place my bet because I wanted to see what might happen. Now that Master has made his move, will other powerful figures follow suit?"

The information was leaked not by an official account, but it must have been arranged by the temple.

Let me first reveal that Master is heading north, fulfilling many people's expectations.

Then, the message was sent that the Moon Goddess and the Immortal of the River had intervened to stop the Master.

First give hope, then shatter it; only in this way can everyone feel the terror of the temple.

Sure enough, the forum quickly became abuzz with discussion.

"The temple is terrifying! It's going to completely cut off the magicians' support."

"Since Linjiangxian and Qin's Moon are helping the Temple, have they been recruited?"

"What if both Thriller Park and Eternal Day fail..."

Everyone felt a deep pressure emanating from the temple.

The master looked at the messages on the forum and gave a cold smile.

If they are indeed blocked, then the temple's publicity campaign will be very successful.

Unfortunately—

When they appear during the battle for the Forbidden City, this notion will naturally be shattered, and the temple will be severely embarrassed. At that time, it will be difficult to recover.

"I'm afraid even that person didn't expect that with the combined strength of Linjiangxian, Yueshen, and Xinyue Club, they still couldn't stop us," Zhongli said with a laugh.

"Look at the Moon Goddess's attitude. Even a powerhouse of this level doesn't want to be controlled by others."

The master's eyes flickered as he recalled the attitudes of the Moon Goddess and Song Caitongzi, and he felt much more relaxed.

"If the magician wins this battle, many powerful individuals will break free from the temple's constraints."

"It's not necessarily a bad thing for a hundred flowers to bloom."

"So, we can't lose this battle. The temple is a deep place, and I'm not 100% confident either," the master said slowly.

"Let's go, next stop Yun'an City."

……

On the other side, Moon Goddess and Song Caitongzi looked at each other in bewilderment as they read the discussions on the forum.

"I told you so, didn't I? That one will eventually create momentum and tie us to the temple's ship." The Moon Goddess's cold voice rang out.

"So what do we do now?"

Song Caitongzi's face was very unpleasant. The temple was making a big fuss about how they had stopped the Great Master, but that was not the case.

When the master appears in the Forbidden City, won't the temple be embarrassed?

What if that person comes down in a rage?

He felt a chill just thinking about it.

"I have a suggestion for you: leave the Forbidden City and find a city where the temple's influence can't reach for the time being, and use that as your base," said the Moon Goddess.

Song Caitongzi's expression shifted between light and dark.

The Forbidden City—that's his root. He has a vast network of connections there, making it very convenient for him to get things done.

Now, being forced to leave is hard to accept.

"Those relationships you speak of will be useless when facing the temple."

The moon goddess gently reminded her, "Life is more important, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Song Caitongzi was terrified.

After a moment, it seemed as if he had made up his mind.

The Moon Goddess was right. As long as one is in the Forbidden City, no one can escape the control of the temple, not even Super S.

If we want to develop, we have to leave the north.

This isn't the only issue discussed on the forum.

More and more information has been revealed.

"I saw many powerful figures from the temples, including experts from the Green Gang and people from the Heavenly Emperor Academy, all of whom have left their mark in Tiandu City."

"I guess they are all powerful figures who came to stop Yongzhou from entering the capital."

"The president of Twilight Echoes has also appeared. It is said that they are here to stop the Thunder Team of Eternal Day."

More and more information is being deliberately leaked.

Everyone became increasingly shocked.

So, it turns out there are so many powerful guilds on the side of the temple.

The guilds that have been exposed all have S-rank experts. So how can Yongzhou possibly defend itself?

It can't be stopped!

"Could it be true, as that person said, that the magician is going to be all alone?" someone asked in shock.

"Forget it, these things are beyond the reach of small fry like us. Let's just place our bets."

"The temple's victory should be undisputed, and no surprises are likely."

At this moment, many people no longer hesitated and used all their savings to buy the temple.

"Sigh, I wonder how many experts will be drawn into this battle between Eternal Day and the Temple."

"If it's just about stopping them, that's fine. But if it's a life-or-death struggle, who knows how many more experts will be lost? That would be a huge loss for the country."

"Yes, soon it will be another battle of a hundred nations."

Many more people, however, are filled with worry.

After all, with a hundred nations vying for supremacy, the champion's rewards are incredibly generous, including a 3% boost to all attributes—a level of improvement that no one can resist.

However, neither the temple nor the eternal day were matters they could comment on at will.

Needless to say, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to discuss the temple casually these days.

Unless, in this Eternal Day, he suffers a crushing defeat and the Magician dies.

But as long as the results aren't out, no one dares to target Yongzhou. After all, what happened before was a lesson learned in blood.

-

As the powerful warriors of Eternal Day entered the territory of Tiandu City one after another, the entire city seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, and the atmosphere became heavy.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.

It's raining.

The rain god stood in the rain, arms outstretched, as if welcoming someone.

Behind him were only two brothers. At this moment, the two of them were looking ahead warily.

There, a group of evolved beings dressed in blue blocked their way.

"Who are you? Are you from Yongzhou?" The leader asked, holding an umbrella, his face grave.

"Rainy night, rain god."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yukun, the leader of the Green Gang, softened his expression considerably, no longer displaying his previous seriousness.

Fortunately, it wasn't one of the S-rank powerhouses from Eternal Day.
