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

"The flesh and blood of the Chaos Human Race are indeed extraordinary, but it's a pity that their cultivation level is too low."

The messenger of the gods licked his lips.

His strength has recovered considerably.

But this was not enough for him. He looked at other places, his figure flashed through the void, and rushed over.

On this day, the whole world wailed and mourned. Countless lives were killed and devoured. The true end of the world had arrived, plunging the entire world into darkness and despair, and no one could save it!

Blood is flowing everywhere...

The sorrow of all living beings enveloped every inch of the land, and the whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of blood.

In just over an hour, nearly half of the 30 survivors in Danshan City were killed.

If the divine messenger hadn't absorbed the blood essence and recovered to the most critical state, probably none of them would have escaped.

"Hahaha! I've finally recovered! Peak seventh rank, I'm back!"

A terrifying laugh echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

But there was only deathly silence; no other sound could respond to him. The world was eerily quiet, completely transformed into a dead city, with layers upon layers of dark, oppressive energy pressing down on it.

This kind of thing is happening not only here, but in many places.

The alien creatures emerging from different secret realms, like ferocious beasts, wreaked havoc and plundered blood essence in the nearby human survivor bases.

The whole world was shrouded in despair and fear, with not a glimmer of hope in sight.

……

At this time, in the Forbidden City.

"Your Majesty, there are constant roars coming from that secret realm. It's likely that alien creatures will appear soon. Let's evacuate while we still have time!" Long Kui said anxiously from the side.

"Evacuate?"

"Where can we escape to in this vast world?" A bitter expression appeared on the emperor's face.

At this moment, above the Forbidden City, stood a massive gate, like a heavenly gate, from which terrifying roars echoed, sending chills down one's spine.

They all knew what this meant!

But there were too many people in the Forbidden City, numbering in the tens of millions. There was no way to escape, and no matter where you tried to escape, you would die!

Long Kui remained silent for a moment.

Yes, where can they escape to?

The entrances to secret realms have manifested in many places throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. The alien creatures that emerge from them are incredibly powerful, and as time goes by, their strength rapidly recovers, becoming stronger and stronger.

Can you escape for a while, or for a lifetime?

Suddenly, Long Kui's expression changed.

Seeing the emperor's gaze sweep over him, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, news has come that several more cities have been massacred."

"Danshan City was captured, and nearly 200,000 survivors were killed. Blood stained the earth, and the alien creatures there seem to have recovered to their peak condition."

"All 160,000 evolved beings in Wuyan City were wiped out, not a single one survived..."

Long Kui's voice trembled as he reported these messages.

In a short period of time, at least a million survivors died within the Great Xia territory, and this number continues to increase over time.

"These damned alien creatures!"

With a furious roar, the old man slammed his right hand down, shattering the table and chairs into pieces with the force of the blow.

"Your Majesty, Blade and the others are already rushing back at full speed."

"Even if they arrive, what can they do? They'll just add a few more wronged souls to the list." A hint of despair flashed in the old man's eyes.

This is the real apocalypse; the whole world is shrouded in darkness, with not a trace of light or hope.

Light? Hope?

The old man thought of eternal daylight and the nine rays of dawn!

I thought of Emperor Yan and the dawn!

"Why would they use such a code name? Did they anticipate something like this?" the old man muttered to himself.

Even if Emperor Yan were alive—

Even a fifth-tier opponent couldn't possibly be a match for a seventh-tier opponent; the gap is simply too large!

unless--

Suddenly, the old man seemed to realize something, his body paused slightly, and then his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

His slightly tired body slowly straightened up.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you...?" Long Kui immediately sensed the old man's change and was startled.

"This world is not completely dark; there will always be some light and some hope." The old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Shuguang, you once said I had a narrow vision and couldn't see far enough. You were right!"

"Emperor Yan, you once said that I was too greedy and valued power too much, and you weren't wrong!"

"But how could you possibly know the ambitions in my heart? Though I have a selfish desire, I also wish to lead the Great Xia Dynasty to an extremely prosperous future in this apocalyptic world! Since ancient times, heroes have used their martial arts to break the law; these are lessons learned in blood and tears throughout history. Was I really wrong?"

The old man was talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, you are not wrong, and they are not wrong either. They just don't understand your thoughts," Long Kui hurriedly said.

"No, I was wrong! But if Great Xia is to truly become strong and continue to thrive in the apocalypse, unification is essential. Only when everyone's beliefs are united can it be indestructible!"

"My mistake was that principles are principles, and nothing can be compromised for principles. The Xie family has committed numerous evils, and they should have been nipped in the bud beforehand. We cannot turn a blind eye to their behavior just because they have Xie Haoran, which has led to a series of problems later on."

The old man looked up at the giant gate in the sky and sighed softly.

Hearing this, Long Kui opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Often, people act differently depending on their perspective. There's no right or wrong, just different viewpoints!

"Long Kui, how is the research on the perfect body progressing?" the old man asked suddenly after a sigh.

"Your Majesty, we are still missing the two most crucial steps. The first is to find an evolver with 99% compatibility, and the second is to solve the problem of perpetual energy." Long Kui's tone was somewhat bitter.

Research on the perfect body has been ongoing for a long time, but so far we still cannot break through the most critical barrier, after all, there has been just too little time.

"I see."

The emperor nodded, his tone low and somber.

Suddenly, in the next moment.

He suddenly looked up, his white hair flying in the air.

An aura of dominance emanated from him: "Today, let me be the first ray of light to dispel the darkness!"

Upon hearing this, Long Kui's eyes widened, somewhat bewildered: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

The old man didn't explain anything, only saying calmly, "Bring me my perfect body here!"

As soon as he said this, Long Kui immediately suspected something and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you mustn't! The problem of perpetual motion energy hasn't been solved yet. Even if we merge them, it will only be..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him: "Go and do it!"

"Your Majesty!"

Long Kui roared in frustration, only shutting up unwillingly when the old man's sharp gaze fell upon him.
