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

The old man's eyes flickered.

Such a powerful force, a deterrent like nuclear weapons, yet the temple only has one Mr. Long.

Moreover, this person may not necessarily obey your orders.

This made him feel even more urgent about his god-making plan.

"The perfect body, I must hurry up," the old man muttered to himself.

What happened today has given him a tremendous crisis.

He felt that his life could be taken away by those two at any moment, which he could not tolerate.

"By the way, no outsiders know about what's happening at the temple, right?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, apart from Yongzhou and Shuguang, who are the parties involved, the others are all from the temple. I have already given the order, and no one dares to speak out of turn."

"As for the powerful figures who came to the Forbidden City to watch the battle, they have all been expelled from the Forbidden City."

"That's good." The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, as if he had thought of something, his brows furrowed: "The temple's defeat to Eternal Day can't be kept secret. We need to come up with an excuse to make this seem less embarrassing."

"Furthermore, the battle of a hundred nations will begin the day after tomorrow. The temple must achieve some outstanding results in this battle in order to restore its prestige."

Upon hearing this, everyone sat up straight.

Each of them had a solemn expression.

The struggle for supremacy among nations is the most important thing for any country at present.

Winning the championship will inevitably lead to a significant increase in national strength.

"Your Majesty, the situation is far from optimistic."

"The list of participants for the Hundred Nations Battle was finalized half a month ago, and now there are only ninety people left, who cannot be replaced or substituted."

Blade frowned: "Moreover, the seven kingdoms have united and are preparing to eliminate us first. This is going to be a tough battle."

"If we had known better, we wouldn't have hidden it. If we had all joined the battle, we would have had a much better chance of winning," Feng Xinglie said.

Their strength ranks above S, which is top-tier even on a global scale.

If the temple had promoted them beforehand and their popularity had soared, they would have been able to get a lot of votes and become one of the hundred participants.

Unfortunately—

"There's no need for such meaningless talk. On Yongzhou's side, didn't most of the powerful figures not make the list of participants?"

The old man glanced at him indifferently and said, "Moreover, all countries have some hidden experts who have not participated in the war. In this respect, they are all the same."

Actually, before that...

He had many considerations; it wasn't just about hiding his strength.

"According to the rules, the participants are to fight in a new world, and no one knows how long this process will take."

"If it takes three to five months to finish, all the top experts will be involved in the war. Who will defend Great Xia when it faces a crisis?"

The old man's words startled everyone.

They didn't consider that much.

Upon hearing this now and thinking about it carefully, it is indeed true.

If all the experts have gone into the special space to participate in the battle of a hundred nations, then if foreign powers invade or a great calamity occurs, then there will be no power to resist.

Don't end up winning a war between a hundred nations only to have your home stolen.

"Your Majesty is right, I was overthinking it," Feng Xinglie hurriedly said.

"Alright, let's proceed according to plan."

The old man finished arranging everything and waved his hand.

He was really exhausted today.

-

"We'll be able to leave the city soon."

They could vaguely see the walls of the Forbidden City.

"Someone is coming."

"It looks like the magicians!"

"I knew this would be the outcome as soon as the troops here withdrew."

On the city wall, many evolved beings lingered.

After leaving the Xie family base, they stayed here, waiting for a result.

Seeing Lin Yu and the magician leaping over, their eyes lit up.

Lin Yu and his companions ignored these powerful figures and quickly rushed out of the Forbidden City.

Right at this moment.

The voice of the rules resonated in everyone's minds.

[Congratulations to Yongzhou for winning the battle against the Temple!]

As the sound rang out, the whole world fell silent for three seconds.

"Holy crap, Yongzhou actually won! Did I hear that right?"

"They lost like this? The temple is way too weak!"

"Waaaaah, all my possessions—"

"I'm reporting this! I want to report this! There's definitely something fishy going on!"

After a period of silence, the forum and chat areas exploded with activity.

This ending is unacceptable to the vast majority of people.

After all, they had staked their entire fortune on it, only to have it all wiped out instantly. No one could accept that.

"Haha, I'm rich!"

"hahaha——"

Similarly, many opportunists and daring individuals cheered with joy.

At this moment, the eyes of some powerful individuals blazed with light.

Most of them also lost all their wealth, but they felt little anger; instead, they were somewhat excited.

"The magician actually made that person bow down!"

"In that case, the pressure from the temple will be much, much less in the future."

"With Eternal Daylight existing, even if the temple wants to incorporate us in the future, they'll have to tackle the tough issues of Eternal Daylight and Thriller Paradise first. Otherwise, why should we listen to them?"

At that moment, many powerful individuals were excited.

The knife that had been hanging over their heads no longer seemed so threatening.

What are these so-called "Ten Saints"? Didn't they even fail to defeat Eternal Day?

-

At this moment, most people abroad are completely bewildered.

The voice of the rules doesn't lie.

That means their assets disappeared instantly.

"Baka! The Great Xia Kingdom's temple is so weak! It was actually defeated by a small guild with less than a thousand members?"

The anger of the Japanese people skyrocketed.

"There's something fishy going on! There's definitely something fishy going on!"

"The Great Xia Kingdom's temple must have already conspired with Yongzhou to deliberately lose and use this method to swallow our crystal cores."

"The Great Xia Kingdom is too despicable, too shameless!"

"That can't be right. I think the vast majority of people in the Great Xia Kingdom also bet on the temple, right?"

"That further proves how corrupt the temple is; they even cheat their own people."

The foreign evolvers were furious, cursing the temple and Eternal Day for being shameless and colluding to cheat them.

They simply didn't believe that a small guild could stand up to the power of a nation.

but.

Those with spies within the Great Xia Dynasty have all received information about this battle.

Although not particularly detailed, it was enough for them to confirm many things.

"The Great Xia Kingdom actually has so many Super S-rank powerhouses?"

In the magnificent palace of heaven.

The Pope frowned as he looked at the messages coming from the Great Xia via the forum.

The number of super S-level powerhouses that emerged from the Great Xia Kingdom in this battle easily exceeds 20.

"Your Majesty need not worry too much. Of the hundred people from the Great Xia Kingdom who participated in the Hundred Kingdoms War, ten have already died before the war even started. Among them are three Super S-rank warriors, greatly reducing the threat."

"Yes, during this period, civil wars have been ongoing in various countries, and many powerful individuals have died. Only in our Heavenly Kingdom, have there been no casualties among the S-rank individuals."

A cardinal spoke with a beaming smile, clearly pleased.

"Haha, it seems that our Heavenly Kingdom's strength has been preserved the most intact." The mood of everyone in the hall immediately improved.

Just then, a figure rushed in.

"It's terrible, Your Majesty the Pope..."

"Lord Belle's squad was ambushed by Abaddon and Satan, and has perished!"
