Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Until the Crystal Coffin was sealed shut under the force of the mechanism, the whole matter came to an end.

The people in the room wisely retreated, leaving only Wen Yu, Lin Haifeng, and Fran remaining in the place.

Looking at Tang Haofei slumbering in the Crystal Coffin, Wen Yu’s eyes were in a daze, as if recalling the scenes of once fighting side by side with Tang Haofei, but alas, what is gone is gone...

To master power requires a price. Wen Yu put in countless efforts, seized countless opportunities, underwent countless risks, and killed countless Demon Fiends to reach this step today. However, it’s not the same for Tang Haofei.

He just needs to die. Once is not enough, then twice. Twice is not enough, then three times. As long as he keeps dying, he can become an undeniable deity!

At first, Wen Yu was jealous of this, but when Tang Two appeared, and upon seeing Tang Haofei’s deranged state earlier, Wen Yu suddenly realized, maybe the power gained effortlessly is not flawless.

The cost of power...

Simple and straightforward, yet thought-provoking.

Lin Haifeng’s voice sounded in the ears.

”By the way, Wen Yu, I want to ask you something.”

”Hm.”

”You know what Tang Haofei means to Yanjing. He means strength, he means Yanjing will never fall, he is Yanjing’s Protector God, but...”

”What? Haven’t figured out how to explain to the masses why their Protector God has disappeared?”

”It’s not that bad. You understand, ordinary people can be easily fooled. They don’t care much about how Tang Haofei is, but they care about how the Protector God is, or rather, they care if there’s a sky above them to shelter them from wind and rain.”

”Now...”

Lin Haifeng pointed to the Crystal Coffin.

”The sky is gone, I need to craft another one, except for you, no one else has this qualification.”

”I want to formally invite you, are you willing to become the new Human Race Protector?”

Lin Haifeng’s tone was formal and sincere, but Wen Yu looked at Lin Haifeng mockingly.

He pointed to the Crystal Coffin placed in front of him.

”Look at that, that was your previous Protector God, Sequence Number 1 of the Human Race, the invincible Tang Haofei...”

”And the result?”

Lin Haifeng was silent: ”You know, it was his fault...”

”You’re wrong there. He did nothing wrong, even though I don’t think highly of him, strictly speaking, he indeed did nothing wrong. Although he made a mess of the military, you can’t deny those are small mistakes, not even mistakes at all. The only thing he did wrong was to stand on the opposing side from you.”

”Seriously, I truly admire you. Before you had various ways to handle me, I originally thought it was a problem with my insufficient strength, but now look at Tang Haofei, is his strength sufficient? Way more than enough! Yet the result still ended up in such a crappy state... Actually, all the way along, I’ve been considering one question. First, I got handled by you, then it’s Tang Haofei handled by you, all along we’ve opposed you but paid the corresponding price. I was chased out of Yanjing by you like a dog, Tang Haofei is lying there like he’s dead, only you, only you are different, every time... every time it’s you who wins!”

”I don’t even know where the problem lies. Do you know what I am thinking now?”

”What?”

”Stay away from you, as far away as possible. As for this Human Race Protector... I’ll just laugh.”

”Do you think I dare to accept?”

Upon hearing Wen Yu’s words, Lin Haifeng seemed to ponder for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

”I was indeed abrupt. Well, even so, you know, the doors of the Yanjing Assembly Site will always be open to you.”

Hearing Lin Haifeng’s words, Wen Yu turned around and gently patted Lin Haifeng’s shoulder: ”It’s a shame, but in this open door all I see are troubles... Well, since the matter with Tang Haofei is resolved, I’ll be going. Remember, unless it’s a heaven-shattering and earth-destroying event, try not to contact me.”

After Wen Yu finished speaking, he passed Lin Haifeng and Fran, heading straight outside.

...

Until Wen Yu teleported back to Africa through the teleportation array formation of Eternal Sky City, Fran and Lin Haifeng still remained in front of the Crystal Coffin.

After glancing at Tang Haofei in the Coffin, and then at the thoughtful Lin Haifeng, Fran couldn’t help but laugh at Wen Yu’s words before he left.

The laughter startled Lin Haifeng. He turned his head and saw Fran laughing heartily, and also chuckled silently.

”Ah, that Wen Yu.”

Lin Haifeng smiled wryly and shook his head, but had to admit what Wen Yu said was quite true—factually, all along, it was always Lin Haifeng who won...

The two old men laughed and laughed until their smiles faded.

”What to do about the Protector God...”

Regarding this matter, Lin Haifeng indeed did not deceive Wen Yu—Yanjing has developed to the point where the so-called Protector God has long been a symbol, a spiritual pillar. Yanjing needs to make its residents understand, here, there is a sky that can shelter them from wind and rain!

This is called confidence, also the emblem of the Human Race’s undefeatable and inexterminable spirit!

However, in this world, those who have the strength to hold up a sky, besides Tang Haofei, only Wen Yu. The rest, none have that strength!

”Walter... Uh, his strength is a bit lacking, but if we fully cultivate him, it’s barely enough...”

The so-called barely enough naturally can’t be compared to Tang Haofei and Wen Yu, but to fool ordinary people, it is indeed sufficient—they do not know the gap between 100,000 physique points and 1,000,000 physique points. Anyway, to ordinary professionists, this is all called The Sky.

”Walter was enticed by Tang Haofei, I didn’t tell you about this.”

Fran rejected Lin Haifeng’s proposal while pleading leniency for Walter: ”He cannot be the Protector God, but I hope you can take a generous approach, Tang Haofei is gone, the military can no longer bear significant losses.”

Lin Haifeng sighed and nodded, considering it a consensus on this matter with Fran.

The pair remained silent for a while until Fran seemingly remembered something.

”How about we awaken the Demigod...”

”I feel under this scenario, it is necessary to awaken the Demigod now. Among Yanjing’s foundations, the Azure Dragon form is not suitable to be the Protector God, but the Demigod can. Moreover, the power of the Demigod has largely taken shape now, a Level 6 Demigod, even though it is considerably below Tang Haofei and Wen Yu, it is far superior to the likes of Walter Kasu!”

”What do you think?”

Fran’s proposal was quite timely. In reality, now waking up the Demigod is indeed a good opportunity, but for some reason, upon hearing Fran’s proposal, Lin Haifeng simply lowered his head without replying.

After a long pause, Lin Haifeng finally sighed.

”Since so, let’s awaken the Demigod then.”

”””
