"What's the situation right now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
He noticed that there were a lot of people around him. It wasn't just Shan Hai Qi Xia's group, but almost all of the Beast King realm's experts had gathered here.
The people looked at him with different expressions of excitement, of hope, of delight, of hesitation.
Shan Hai Qi Xia explained: "The Beast Kings had pledged allegiance to Emperor Heaven, but Emperor Heaven hasn't appeared for a very long time. During this time of crisis, they've finally relented and want to ally with us"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Ally? The Apocalypse is about to invade and they're only thinking of ally now? "
"There's still time — — the Beast Kings had used a type of power from the great tomb to reinforce the world barrier, specifically to prevent entities without the identity of the Samsara from entering, so it should be able to hold on for a while longer" Shan Hai Qi Xia replied.
Wang Shun loudly shouted: "Look! The Beast Kings are here! "
Everyone looked up, only to see a row of black figures appearing in the sky.
They landed in front of everyone, shook their bodies, and turned into humans.
The leader was a robust man whose entire body was covered in scales, speaking with a resounding voice:
"The world barrier can hold on for another half a day!"
Shan Hai Qi Xia stepped forward, clasped her fist and said: "Thank you for your hard work, we humans have been fully mobilized, ready to enter battle at any moment"
The robust man's expression froze.
A sharp-beaked bird-feathered girl next to him scoffed and shook her head: "You still don't understand the situation"
Situation?
Did something else happen?
The crowd became rowdy.
"Silence! Beast King leaders — — has a new situation occurred? "Shan Hai Qi Xia asked.
She glanced at Gu Qing Shan anxiously.
Only to see Gu Qing Shan calmly listening without showing any signs of panic.
For some reason, Shan Hai Qi Xia's heart calmed down.
She suddenly raised her voice: "Regardless of what kind of accident it is, it doesn't make a difference to our Beast King realm, because we're already in a desperate situation, it's nothing more than a battle, isn't that right, everyone?"
The human Combatants were gathered here, already prepared to die on the battlefield, so hearing her words, their fighting spirit was ignited.
Indeed.
They were already in a desperate situation.
There was no room for retreat.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! "
All the human experts responded in unison.
For a time, the apprehension and fear vanished into thin air, and replacing it was a sense of heroism.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze swept across the faces, looking at their resolute expressions.
He sighed quietly.
This was the human race.
Then, Shan Hai Qi Xia raised her voice: "Beast King leaders, what new situation has occurred? Please explain it to us"
The Beast Kings looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
The Beast King leader replied: 「 No, you misunderstand — — - the Apocalypses are currently attacking the world barrier, other than that, there is nothing new 」
It continued, "Actually, the real problem is the disagreement between us, the Beast Kings, and you humans."
"Disagreement?" Shan Hai Qi Xia froze, then immediately replied: "That is definitely not the case. We have already resolved ourselves to fight to the death, and all preparations for war have already been made. Once the Apocalypse arrives, we will fight them to the death!"
The Beast Kings shook their heads: 「 We, the Beast Kings, have experienced much more than you have, and we deeply understand a certain principle. Against an excessively powerful enemy, the only thing we can think of is to survive — — 」
「 Our lives are more important than anything else! 」
Everyone fell silent.
Shan Hai Qi Xia thought for a bit, then said: "Do the Beast Kings have a way to lead everyone to escape this calamity? If we can escape, it would be the same as preserving the strength of the entire Beast King realm, we don't have any objections "
The human Combatants exchanged glances, then nodded.
— — -this was not a bad idea.
The Beast King leader smiled and shook his head: 「 The Samsara is being destroyed one by one, against the countless Apocalypses, escaping is useless, Sect Master Shan Hai 」
「 Ahahahaha 」
「 Wishful thinking 」
「 Still trying to escape? 」
「 Humans are truly naive 」
The Beast Kings chuckled in disdain.
They looked around and discussed without the slightest scruple.
This time, Shan Hai Qi Xia was even more confused, so she clasped her fist: "What exactly do you mean, sir? Please explain"
The Beast King leader replied: 「 We found a few broken items from the depths of the great tomb, from which we released a spell to strengthen the world barrier. This way, even those Apocalypses would have to be a bit more cautious 」
Shan Hai Qi Xia lightly nodded, waiting for the other party to finish.
The Beast King leader continued: 「 The war has yet to begin, so it is the best time to surrender 」
Surrender?
Shan Hai Qi Xia never thought that would be the Beast Kings' answer.
She tried her best to calm herself down, then spoke: "Your excellency, the Apocalypses only wish to destroy everything, wouldn't surrendering to the Apocalypse be the same as throwing away our lives?"
The Beast King leader reached his hand out, pointed at her from afar, and said: 「 You humans are brave and courageous, but every time you die, it is because you didn't put in enough effort in the field of intelligence 」
"What kind of intelligence?" Shan Hai Qi Xia asked.
「 After surrendering to the Apocalypse and becoming a subject of the Apocalypse, you will be spared from death 」 the Beast King leader replied.
Shan Hai Qi Xia asked: "Spared from death … then, what is the price for becoming a subject of the Apocalypse?"
The Beast King leader appeared a bit excited: 「 From now on, we will stand on the side of the Apocalypse, together with the powerful ones, we will conquer the world of living beings and destroy everything! 」
「 — — Shan Hai Qi Xia, all living beings of our Beast King realm will belong to the Apocalypse! 」
「 We, will forever stand by the side of the strong 」
「 We will never lose! 」
The Beast Kings all cheered with looks of anticipation on their faces.
They couldn't wait for that moment.
Shan Hai Qi Xia opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
The Combatants of humanity in the sect all fell silent.
The Beast King leader slowly continued: 「 In the age of the Apocalypse, this is the true path of survival — — - Sect Master Shan Hai, you are the leader of humanity, in a moment, bring a few people with you and come with me to the Apocalypse army to discuss the matter of surrendering 」
「 Remember, we are doing this for the sake of survival 」
「 We must endure humiliation for the greater good 」
「 When our descendants grow up and become subjects of the Apocalypse to conquer other worlds — — they will remember us well 」
Shan Hai Qi Xia silently listened, then instinctively turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and sent her voice: "You can make your own decisions regarding the matters of the Beast King realm, there is no need to ask for my opinion"
After sending her voice, he seemed to have recalled something, then lowered his head and fell into contemplation, no longer paying attention to what was happening in the outside world.
Shan Hai Qi Xia's gaze turned towards the sky.
Everyone also looked up.
A translucent barrier slowly manifested in the sky.
Outside the barrier, numerous spells were silently attacking the ground, but were all stopped by the barrier, scattering like a shower of colorful stars, illuminating the faces of all living beings.
— — the Apocalypse had arrived.
Once the barrier was broken, the destruction of the Beast King realm would begin!
The Beast King leader tidied up his armor, then solemnly said: "Let's go, Sect Master Shan Hai, as the leader of humanity, you should come with me to negotiate"
"Please" the Beast Kings all bowed to her.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
In the sky, the barrier of the world trembled intensely, faintly audible sounds of spells being bombarded could be heard.
Shan Hai Qi Xia stared at the sky, then at the Beast Kings in front of her.
She nodded silently, but her feet retreated step by step.
The Beast King leader narrowed his eyes and spoke up: "Sect Master Shan Hai, what is the meaning of this?"
All of a sudden — —
Two men stepped out from the group of humans.
Blade Venerate Li Chun Dao.
Sword Saint Wang Jin.
Oong — — oong — —
Their swords and blades vibrated in unison. With a flash of cold gleams, a deep ravine appeared on the ground.
On both sides of the ravine.
On one side stood the Beast Kings.
And on the other side stood the group of humans.
After doing all that, the two of them put their swords and blades away, standing on either side of Shan Hai Qi Xia to protect her.
Shan Hai Qi Xia took a deep breath, turned around, and loudly declared to the group of humans: "Everyone"
"I've been thinking, if future generations were to look at our tombstones, what would they think of us?"
"Cowards who joined the Apocalypse in order to survive, aided the wicked, bullied the weak, massacred living beings — — –"
"Is that how we are?"
Her gaze passed through the group of human experts.
Everyone went silent.
"No!"
Shan Hai Qi Xia uttered a resolute metallic voice, then loudly declared:
"Humanity has never lived an easy life"
"For countless years, the entities within the great tomb have constantly taken away our lives. In order to investigate the truth, my father also died within the great tomb"
"Our ancestors have used countless sacrifices to tell us — — - we have always had a backbone"
"Humanity has never been the lackeys of the Apocalypse!"
"Everyone, it is because you trust in my abilities and character that you have elected me to be the leader of humanity"
"Today, I have decided to fight against the Apocalypse!"
"— — even in death, we humans will never give up on our dignity and freedom!"
"We are worthy of our ancestors, if we survive — — one day, when our descendants look at our history — — -"
"They will be proud of us. They will be proud of their identity!"
"This is how we humans should be!"
Her voice slowly fell, took a deep breath, then softly asked:
"Will you stand by my side and fight by my side?"
The surroundings became silent.
The Sword Immortal King's body abruptly erupted with sky-piercing sword qi as he coldly declared: "Beasts only seek survival, we have our own choices, why should we be afraid of death?"
Someone followed up: "This old man has always fought against injustice, I have never thought of becoming a slave to the Apocalypse!"
Li Chun Dao smiled: "Only those who fight have no regrets in life!"
Someone else shouted: "— — kill them all! Fighting is the choice of us humans! "
"Fight!"
Everyone slowly raised their weapons, giving off a resounding clatter — — -
"Fight! Fight! Fight! "
Right at this moment, an abrupt change occurred — —
The Beast King leader angrily shouted: "Kill these fools!"
The Beast Kings had already been preparing for this, so as soon as they received the order, they all acted.
An overwhelming wave of techniques rushed towards the humans — — -
A full-powered ambush!
The Beast Kings had already prepared this move!
"Oh no, everyone, hold your ground!"
Shan Hai Qi Xia exclaimed in shock.
Everyone was caught off guard. For a moment, they were in a state of chaos, and they all took up defensive positions.
Boom!!!
The gigantic technique clashed against a large wall of sword phantoms. The sound of impact shook heaven and earth.
The light dimmed as the sandstorm raged.
Everything slowly calmed down within the storm.
— — The human experts all looked at each other.
Everyone was unharmed.
Not a single drop of blood was shed, let alone any casualties.
"What's going on?"
The Beast King leader couldn't help but shout.
In the empty space between the Beast Kings and humans, all the sword phantoms had converged into a single person.
This person looked at the Beast Kings and pondered:
"Who gave you the taming job? It's not bad. "
The Beast Kings stared closely at this person.
— — he clearly looked completely ordinary, but he managed to block all of their attacks earlier.
"Who are you!?" the Beast King leader cautiously asked.
The person cleared his throat, then clasped his fist: "Nice to meet you, I am the Apocalypse — — an Apocalypse that specializes in killing Beast Kings"
