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

During this period, the entire Great Xia Dynasty was plunged into a state of frenzy.

The powerful individuals rapidly gathered in one place.

Day three.

Outside the Everlasting Day Guild base, a number of evolved individuals arrived one after another, numbering around twenty.

"The Eternal Day Guild is just ahead. I'll be able to see my idol soon. I'm so excited!" A tall girl looked at the Eternal Day city ahead with a dreamy look in her eyes.

"Zhang Mingxue, stop dreaming. Emperor Yan is very loyal. He has so many stunning beauties around him, each with great talent and strength, and none of them have succeeded. Don't even dream about it. Why not consider me? I'm actually not bad either."

Beside him, a young man spoke with a smile.

He appeared calm, but a slight tremor crept into his voice—a tremor of nervousness and anticipation…

"I don't eat cilantro. Who said my idol is Emperor Yan?"

Zhang Mingxue rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Upon hearing this, the people around him were somewhat taken aback.

The young man codenamed "Step-Eating-Cilantro" asked in confusion, "Your idol isn't Emperor Yan? Then who is he?"

If it weren't for Emperor Yan, he would have competed with anyone else, even a powerful figure like the God of Punishment.

After all, matters of the heart aren't based on strength!

"My idol is Ye Piaopiao." Zhang Mingxue's eyes were full of admiration when she said that name.

"Forehead……"

Bu Chixiang's expression stiffened slightly, and she blurted out, "Zhang Mingxue, do you like women?"

However, he regretted saying those words as soon as he did.

Admiring women doesn't mean liking women, and it's much better than admiring men, at least he has a better chance, right?

"Is this all you men think about all day? This is the apocalypse! My goal is to become strong, and love—"

"It will only slow down my sword-drawing speed."

Zhang Mingxue glared fiercely at Bu Chixiangcai, then strode forward.

"Forehead……"

Bu Chici stood there, stunned, his lips twitching slightly.

"Brother, women are all fleeting, let it go. You can't compete with Ye Piaopiao." At this moment, a burly man stepped forward from behind him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ye Piaopiao is a woman, what am I arguing with him for?"

"Brother, you don't understand. Didn't you see the look in Zhang Mingxue's eyes when she talked about Ye Piaopiao?"

The burly man put his arm around his shoulder and said earnestly, "This girl's eyes are only for Ye Piaopiao. Although it's not love, getting her to shift her attention to you is harder than climbing to heaven, unless—"

"Unless what?" Bu asked eagerly, eating cilantro.

"Unless you surpass Ye Piaopiao in strength, you'll likely have little chance of winning this woman's heart in this lifetime. Think about it, if you can't even compare to a woman, how could her gaze possibly fall upon you?"

The burly man sighed, "Brother, I think you should give up. This woman isn't in love; she's after power. And the chances of you surpassing Ye Piaopiao are practically zero."

"Can it surpass Ye Piaopiao?"

Bu Chici's eyes suddenly lit up.

He knew Ye Piaopiao's strength was at the Super S level, but he himself was not weak either.

He may not be a match for them now, but as long as he works hard, he will definitely succeed one day.

"Tell me, besides admiring strength and power, what else do women like?"

The burly man pondered for a moment: "Romantic, isn't it! Look at the scene when Emperor Yan proposed to Chen Jing'er riding a fire dragon, illuminated by the Dragon Star Cluster. How many people were shocked, how many were envious, and how many hearts did he capture?"

"So I think romance should also be very important."

"Is it romantic?"

He ate the cilantro and muttered to himself, then his eyes lit up.

next moment.

Red petals appeared beneath his feet, carrying him forward.

"Um?"

Zhang Mingxue, who was walking ahead, seemed to sense something, stopped and turned around to look.

All that could be seen was a flurry of dust swirling up, which in an instant transformed into countless red rose petals, surrounding her and dancing around her in a breathtaking spectacle.

I walked step by step, eating cilantro and stepping on countless rose petals.

The others who came with him were stunned. Could this unassuming guy really have such terrifying strength?

"He actually turned earth-based dust into roses? How did he do that?"

The big man's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this.

"Mingxue, do you like this 'Picking Flowers at Dusk' style?"

The falling petals slowly coalesced, forming a giant rose in front of Zhang Mingxue.

"This kid has a knack for it." The burly man stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Although it can't compare to the scene with Emperor Yan back then, it can still make countless women's hearts flutter."

"Mingxue..."

Bu Chici had a smile on his face, looking slightly shy.

He was about to say something when Zhang Mingxue glared at him fiercely: "Boring!"

Then he turned and left.

"..."

Bu Chici's smile froze on his face, and after a moment he sighed softly.

But he won't give up.

soon.

The group then arrived at the main gate of the Everlasting Day Base.

Xiao Wen, Liu Yu, and the others were already waiting to greet them. "Brothers, are you all going to fight in Sakura?"

"Brother Yongzhou, we're all here to hitch a ride on Yongzhou's magical airship bound for Sakura Country to join the battle."

Stepping forward, Bu Chixiang bowed slightly and replied with a smile.

"Alright, brothers, please come in."

Liu Yu greeted everyone with a smile and led them inside.

This is the seventh wave of people today. Those who are determined to fight in Sakura and have taken action deserve our respect. After all, whether they will return is still unknown.

Looking at the group of people going in, Xiao Wen's eyes flashed: "Did you feel it? That guy who doesn't eat cilantro is quite strong."

"Hmm, I reckon that move he just made is probably rated as S-level. The most important thing is that his talent is very strange."

"It's a bit like a matter conversion, capable of converting substances of other elements into a specific substance."

The two of them discussed it back and forth.

They only glanced at the coriander a couple more times. To them, there were too many powerful people in Yongzhou. They had seen all kinds of experts and were not surprised.

"The boss and the others are leaving tomorrow, but unfortunately I'll have to stay behind to guard the gate again. Ugh, so annoying."

Liu Yu looked dejected; he really wanted to go see the cherry blossoms.

"Who says otherwise? We're both unfortunate souls." Xiao Wen stood to the side, his eyes vacant and listless.

Who can blame them when those two are both smart and steady?

When going out to war, the main base is equally important and must be guarded. Otherwise, if someone raids your base, you'll be devastated.
