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

"roar--"

The roars were incessant, echoing from behind the giant gate every now and then.

Every evolved being in the entire Tianhai City could hear this bloodthirsty roar.

At this moment, although no alien creatures had yet stepped out from inside the door, everyone in Tianhai City felt a sense of despair pervading their hearts.

In the Everlasting Day Base.

Everyone was gathered in the hall, their faces grave.

"I'm sure everyone knows what's going on now, right?" Liu Shiyun said in a very heavy tone.

There are now more than 400 people gathered here, plus more than 30 people who followed Lin Yu to the Cherry Blossom Campaign, so the number of members of Yongzhou has reached nearly 500.

"The giant gate standing in the sky near the guild, although no living beings have emerged yet, will probably appear soon, and then the entire Tianhai City will be devastated."

"We are not immune to this either, and now we would like to hear everyone's opinions to see if there is any way to resolve it."

After Liu Shiyun finished speaking, her gaze swept over all the members of Yongzhou.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Through the forum, they all realized that this suddenly appearing little secret realm was the real source of the apocalypse.

Once the creatures inside emerge, they will be at least at the sixth rank, and by absorbing the blood essence of a large number of creatures, they will quickly recover to an even stronger level.

The purpose of these creatures is to slaughter, thereby gathering enough vital energy to restore themselves, or to allow stronger creatures to emerge from within. This is their purpose in slaughtering creatures.

"Those creatures are at least at the sixth or seventh rank; if we were to fight them, we would probably only face certain death."

"Yes, I think the only way is to hide, improve our strength, and wait until we become stronger before we have a chance to survive." Someone hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Those creatures are too powerful. Where can we hide? If we're found, we'll die anyway!"

"Currently, there are more than twenty such small secret realms revealed on the forums throughout the entire Great Xia, and there may be some that haven't been exposed yet. But our Great Xia is so big, we can still hide if we want to; only by staying alive can we have a chance."

The crowd discussed the matter amongst themselves, and ultimately only one decision was made.

That means hiding!

For them, a head-on confrontation is idiotic.

After all, there are very few experts in the entire Great Xia Dynasty who have broken through to the fifth rank. How can they possibly deal with seventh or even eighth rank alien beings? It would just be suicide, which would be completely meaningless.

After a moment of discussion, everyone looked at Liu Shiyun, Chen Jing'er, and the others.

"Sister Shiyun, just tell us what to do, we'll do whatever you say," Liu Yu said.

Having survived the baptism of blood before, he is now an S-rank expert.

"Yes, Sister Shiyun, it's your decision. Whatever you say, we'll listen to you."

At this moment, with Lin Yu absent, the decision-making process naturally falls to Vice President Liu Shiyun and President's wife Chen Jing'er.

"We share the same idea as everyone else: to hide."

Liu Shiyun raised her hand to quell the noise: "However, we're not going to let everyone run around haphazardly. Our plan is for everyone to take refuge inside the guild's stone tablet. The food stored in my space is enough to feed the entire guild for hundreds of years without any problem."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, but then they hesitated.

"That's certainly a good idea, but will hiding inside the guild's stone tablet really prevent those alien creatures from discovering us?"

"Yes, if this is discovered, wouldn't we be trapped like turtles in a jar? Wouldn't we be wiped out by the alien creatures?" Someone asked the most crucial question.

"No one can be sure; maybe yes, maybe no!"

Liu Shiyun shook her head; she didn't know the answer to that question either.

"No matter what, this is the only relatively safe way," Chen Jing'er said slowly.

"In that case, wouldn't someone need to stay outside and find a safe place with the guild monument? We can't just leave it here, can we?"

"Yes, someone does need to stay outside." Liu Shiyun nodded.

"Sister Shiyun, I'll stay outside. If we encounter any alien creatures, I'll hide the guild's stone tablet even if it costs me my life."

"President, let me do it! I have no ties now, and even if I die, I will have no regrets..."

"Let me do it. Eternal Day is the only place that makes me feel warm; it's my job to protect it!"

As soon as Liu Shiyun finished speaking, a group of Yongzhou members started arguing amongst themselves, all vying to take on the most dangerous task.

The girls exchanged glances, feeling very gratified.

Although the Yongzhou family is small, they are all truly reliable partners you can entrust your life to.

Even if some individuals don't have such a strong sense of belonging when they first join Yongzhou, the environment can influence people. As they spend more time with everyone, their hearts naturally warm up as well.

"Alright, everyone, that's enough. Hurry up and take your things into the guild monument." Liu Shiyun raised her hand to stop everyone.

"Sister Shiyun, could it be you?"

Liu Yu frowned.

"I have awakened a spatial talent, and I am stronger than you. If we really encounter alien creatures, I can use spatial teleportation to escape. This is the safest method."

"No, this is too dangerous, I'll do it."

Liu Yu shook his head: "The boss has done me a great service, I can't let anything happen to you."

He knew very well that if he really encountered a sixth or seventh-tier alien creature, even with spatial talent, it would be difficult to escape.

Yang Shanshan's eyes were slightly moist, but she did not stop Liu Yu. Instead, she was very gratified, realizing that she had not loved the wrong person.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, just as everyone was arguing, the earth shook violently once more, accompanied by terrifying roars of beasts.

"Is the creature inside that door about to come out?"

"All of you, enter the guild monument immediately! This is an order!" Liu Shiyun's expression changed slightly as she shouted sternly.

"Sister Shiyun..."

Before Liu Yu could say anything more, Liu Shiyun interrupted him: "Are you not going to obey orders?"

"Don't worry, your sister Shiyun will be fine."

Chen Jing'er spoke slowly, making a decisive statement: "Everyone hurry up and go inside. Don't linger here until the alien creatures arrive; that would endanger everyone's lives."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's expression fell, and he stopped being stubborn, joining the others in entering the guild space.

One minute later, only three people remained in the entire guild hall.

Chen Jing'er, Liu Shiyun, and Jiang Chan.

"Xiao Chan, you..."
