Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

A desert.

Three horses were rapidly galloping through an endless desert on black clouds, their eyes glowing red, and so were their glimmering ebony hides.

One of the horses suddenly spoke in human tongue: "Why did that monster suddenly show up?"

"Who knows what kind of thing drove it mad today" another horse answered.

"Stop talking and move faster, we need to hurry and return to the ruins" the horse in the middle said.

After it said that, the other two horses no longer said anything else.

Very quickly, the three horses arrived at a cavern.

While it was called a cavern, it looked more like the corpse of some prehistoric monster, which was as large as an entire mountain range.

The three horses shook their bodies before transforming into three muscular men.

They entered the cavern and took a look around.

"The Guiding Envoy still hasn't returned" one of the men commented.

"No worries, since that monster has reawakened, the Envoy will soon return to take refuge" another man answered.

The final man sat down and began preparations to create a fire.

The three of them silently sat still for a while.

Suddenly, one of them spoke up: "Brothers, is it just me or do we have more spoils of war today?"

Hearing that, both of them looked up.

They were looking at the various corpses being hung on ropes around the cavern.

"I remember that there were 14" one of them chimed in: "9 from the Human Realm, 2 from the Huang Quan Realm, 3 from the Asura Realm----- strange, how come there's 15 here now?"

The two of them exchanged glances.

The man in the middle scoffed and cut in: "What are the both of you thinking? This place is the shelter of our Beast King realm, only Chosen Saints of the Beast King realm can enter----- so this is very simple, the Envoy must have killed one more Chosen Saint from another Realm out of impulse"

As that made sense, the other two slowly calmed down.

That's true.

Other than corpses, nobody from any other Realms would be able to enter this place.

"How come the Envoy hasn't returned yet?" the man in the middle muttered.

An elderly voice reverberated from the entrance:

"Don't be alarmed, I'm back"

The three men stood up in unison and turned towards the entrance.

Only to see a large grey wolf standing there.

"Sir Envoy" the three of them bowed respectfully.

The large wolf moved forward a few steps before transforming into an old man, then spoke with a displeased tone: "I was originally investigating something, but I couldn't predict that the monster would suddenly go berserk. I had no choice but to quickly return"

As soon as he said that, the sound of howling could be heard from outside the entrance.

A sandstorm had picked up, the wind almost sounded like shrieking ghosts.

Various strange and eerie cries could be heard continuously, coupled with the intense rumbling noise from the ground, it felt as if an earthquake was occurring.

"It's begun, quickly block the entrance" the old man ordered with a heavy voice.

One of the men moved a boulder over to block the entrance.

The sound coming from outside instantly became weaker.

The four people sat around the campfire, focusing their attention on the noise outside.

Even when they knew that this place was safe, they still had anxious looks on their faces.

"Don't speak up, there are quite a few of us here this time, I need to communicate with the ruins and mobilize a bit more power"

The old man closed his eyes after saying that, then began muttering something under his breath, almost as if he was controlling something.

The other three tried to not breathe too loudly as they waited in silence for the old man.

Time slowly passed.

About half a day later.

It was only until the noise outside had slowly subsided that everyone here finally sighed in relief.

"Sir Envoy, it's clearly not time yet, so why did that monster suddenly become berserk?" one of the men asked.

"Don't ask, there's no benefit for any of you to know this type of secret" the old man curtly answered.

The three men all went silent without asking anything else.

The old man glanced at them a few more times before telling them in a warmer tone: "You all must hurry and complete the Elements War, otherwise, we of the Beast King realm will be overtaken by the other realm's, understand?"

"Understood" the three men answered in unison.

"The biggest problem of our Beast King realm right now are those humans------ they've lived for too long within the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, so much so that by the time we awoke, the Beast King realm itself had already recognized them as living beings of the Beast King realm as well" the old man sighed.

"I heard that the big shots of the Heaven realm are very displeased?" one of the men tried asking.
