Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 441: Chapter 53 Reborner and the Real Protagonist!_2

This feeling, in addition to that of professionists and divine beast species, carried another aura... It was the fleeting aura from that day within Victor’s Illusion...

Moreover, there was another aura, faint yet chilling, that terrified Wen Yu. This was a fact that Wen Yu didn’t want to think about, didn’t want to face!

In his immobilized state, Wen Yu struggled to send a Spiritual Fluctuation towards Tang Haofei.

”What exactly are you...?”

Tang Haofei’s somewhat frivolous voice resonated from behind Wen Yu.

”Old Iron, that’s harsh. I am a human, not a thing.”

With a tone akin to friendly banter, after saying this, Tang Haofei then uttered a single, simple word: ”Seal!”

As Tang Haofei’s word resounded, Wen Yu’s Netherworld was instantly suppressed. Without his Netherworld to counteract Tang Haofei’s ’Immobilize’ word, Wen Yu felt the pressure on him intensify manifold!

True Words (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Active Ability): The Host wields the power of True Words. Uttering words imbued with this power will attach immense might to them, directly causing various effects.

Note: Theoretically, you can utilize this ability to achieve any purpose!

With this single ability, Tang Haofei overpowered Wen Yu!

Unfortunately, Wen Yu’s current goal was no longer focused on petty matters such as being Sequence Number 1 or Sequence Number 2. Even though he was suppressed by True Words to the point of being unable to retaliate, Wen Yu remained indomitable, sending intermittent Spiritual Fluctuations towards Tang Haofei.

”What... are you, after all... All of this... what... is going on!!!”

Possibly sensing Wen Yu’s confusion and persistence, Tang Haofei remained silent for a while, then he whispered in Wen Yu’s ear, ”We are on the same side... also, we are of the same kind... Trust me...”

Using a Spiritual Fluctuation that only the two of them could perceive, he transmitted a series of messages to Wen Yu, and then Tang Haofei directly released the power of True Words.

With the immense pressure on his body lifting, Wen Yu was immediately relieved. However, he didn’t continue to attack Tang Haofei; instead, he directly deactivated the Pitch-dark Demon Lord state.

Wen Yu stood rooted to the spot for a moment, then looked deeply at the serious-faced Tang Haofei before him and shouted, ”I forfeit!” He was then teleported out of the Challenge Space.

Sitting in his seat, rapidly digesting the information Tang Haofei had conveyed, Wen Yu finally opened his eyes after a moment. He sensed Tang Haofei’s undisguised, powerful presence and, hidden within it, an unknown power that only the two of them could perceive, as well as an unknown connection. A complex light flickered in Wen Yu’s eyes as he sighed softly.

However, his heart was in turmoil! Faced with the information Tang Haofei had just relayed, Wen Yu felt he needed some peace and quiet to process it.

Everything in the world happens for a reason.

Wen Yu had initially believed this deeply, but the matter of Rebirth had completely overturned his worldview.

At the same time, Wen Yu also began to doubt the saying, ”nothing happens without a reason”!

Rebirth was definitely a treatment reserved for protagonists in novels. However, Wen Yu couldn’t help but consider another issue, one that had always plagued him in this life.

What virtues or abilities did he possess for some entity to expend tremendous power to reverse time and space, even allowing him to retain his past life’s memories and return to the time before the apocalypse began?

Strictly speaking, his past self had been unremarkable!

This was Wen Yu’s doubt.

However, upon sensing the aura emanating from Tang Haofei just now, Wen Yu instantly understood something!

He truly wasn’t the only one; he was merely an incidental byproduct, a green leaf accentuating the red flower! In this world, he was just a side character!

Even the privilege of Rebirth wasn’t exclusive to him!

And the real protagonist was, at this very moment, seated above Wen Yu, quietly savoring his drink and enjoying the glory of being the strongest of the Human Race!

Yes, Tang Haofei was also a reborner.

Moreover, he was the protagonist of this world—chosen by Earth’s Consciousness, and possibly even by the Dominator!

Name: Tang Haofei.

Profession: Son of Destiny (also known as Lord of the Plane, the protagonist).

Profession Characteristic: This profession is unique. In each great world, only one Son of Destiny can exist. If the Son of Destiny of a plane dies, this profession will permanently vanish from that plane!

When the Son of Destiny is present in his own main plane, he will receive focused attention from the World Consciousness and be favored by Destiny. His personal fate will be enhanced to its utmost limit. Simultaneously, all beings native to this plane who oppose the Son of Destiny will be rejected by the World Consciousness!

A reborner and the Son of Destiny!

This was Tang Haofei’s identity!

He was a human-shaped divine beast species with no rivals or natural enemies on Earth! An ultimate monster who absolutely could not be defeated!

Wen Yu replayed the Spiritual Fluctuation Tang Haofei had transmitted earlier in his mind several times.

Unfortunately, the information revealed in these Spiritual Fluctuations only concerned Tang Haofei’s identity!

But Wen Yu absolutely believed this without a shred of doubt!

This was because of the four auras he had sensed from Tang Haofei. The auras of a professionist and a divine beast species were familiar to Wen Yu. However, the third was the aura of Earth’s Consciousness, something Wen Yu had only perceived once before, within Victor’s Illusion!

The most crucial was the fourth aura—a connection Wen Yu would never have noticed, nor would he have realized he also possessed it, if Tang Haofei hadn’t intentionally revealed it: the link between two reborners.

Tang Haofei’s Spiritual Fluctuation might deceive Wen Yu, but the aura Tang Haofei carried could never be fake!

Thinking of this, Wen Yu directly raised his head to look at the serene Tang Haofei above him and spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.

”COUGH, COUGH. After the rewards are distributed... we need to meet. Immediately! Absolutely immediately!”

Tang Haofei paused his sipping and nodded lightly. Simultaneously, a Spiritual Fluctuation was transmitted into Wen Yu’s mind:

”Don’t speak of it here; the Dominator will hear. Also, never reveal anything about Rebirth to the Dominator. Wait for me... I’ll find you.”

After that, Tang Haofei resumed sipping through his straw, his expression unchanged. Wen Yu’s composure also quickly returned, and he squinted, quietly waiting for the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle to conclude.

Once Wen Yu and Tang Haofei’s exchange—or rather, Tang Haofei’s one-man show—concluded, the challenge lights below began to flicker once more.

After all, with only one chance to challenge, it would be a waste not to use it. There was no risk of loss, and what if one could snatch a Sequence title?

Unfortunately, none of these weaklings hoping to luck into a position were truly up to par. Many professionists rushed to challenge, but in the end, only two managed to secure spots between Sequence Number 91 and Sequence Number 100.

When half an hour passed with no new challenges, the Dominator’s figure reappeared above the arena. Then, a mechanical voice sounded in the minds of all professionists who had passed the preliminary challenge matches:

”The Sequence Member-Ranking Battle has ended! All professionists who passed the preliminary challenges but did not secure a Sequence position will be awarded one A-Class skill scroll. Rewards can be retrieved via the Exchange Stone Pillar!”

This announcement could be heard by everyone, whether they were in a treasure land or were professionists who had failed their Sequence challenge.

Following this, the mechanical voice faded, and the Dominator’s power, capable of soothing hearts, quickly spread into the minds of every Sequence member present.

”The distribution of Sequence rewards will now begin. Sequence Members 51 through 100 will each be rewarded with one S-Class skill scroll and magic crystals equivalent to 2,000 points of physical fitness.”

As soon as the Dominator spoke, fifty figures appeared around him.
