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.
“I guess it doesn’t hurt to tell you. The bigshots of the Heaven realm are indeed greatly displeased, they’re ordering us to quickly eradicate those humans” the old man answered.
One of the men sneered: “They’re just a bunch of humans, so how dare they take up quotas of our Beast King realm? I’ve been irritated with them for a while now”
The commotion outside had thoroughly calmed down at this point.
The old man stood up and looked at the three men: “Being able to survive the Apocalypse, the three of you can be considered above average, so I have a new job for you all”
“Please go ahead sir”
“Hm, among the humans who have taken up the quota of our Beast King realm, the ones with the most authority are currently within the Elements Zone, they still think that we are their comrades” the old man said.
The three men immediately displayed smiles of tacit understanding.
“Those humans are fools, since they had the gall to consider us to be one of them, they should be ready to pay the price for that blind trust” one of the men said.
“Indeed, the Samsara Clash for Supremacy isn’t suitable for naïve humans. Now, come with me to kill them” the old man concluded.
“After that is done, I will help you all collect enough Merits to activate your Samsara Divine Skills!”
“Our gratitude for sir Envoy!” the three men said in unison.
They quickly moved the boulder blocking the entrance and left together.
The three men transformed back into horses, while the old man turned into a large wolf.
They quickly left the cavern.
…
A few moments later.
Back inside the cavern.
One of the corpses hanging on top of the cavern began to twitch slightly.
It was the corpse of a young human male.
——-Gu Qing Shan.
After arriving here, he discovered that this place was a shelter of the Beast King realm.
It was obviously too late to find other places, so with his quick wits, he entered the cavern while dropping dead in order to impersonate a corpse.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly opened his eyes and cut off the rope that tied his feet with the blade hidden in his chest.
Lightly landing on the ground, his expression was full of thought.
One full breath’s worth of time later.
From the depths of the cavern, a ray of light struck his body.
Instantly, he vanished from the cavern and reappeared in the desert.
However, Gu Qing Shan was unfazed, still holding a thoughtful expression on his face.
“The humans residing in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts… are most likely Shan Hai Qi Xia and the people of the various Schools”
“Those people from before were most likely the sleepers of the Beast King realm, who only discovered that the Tomb of Myriad Beasts had been taken over by humans after reawakening”
“Shan Hai Qi Xia’s group is in danger…”
Recalling the events when he was at the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
The sleepers of the Beast King realm were completely subservient to the Heaven realm, so not only did they hunt Chosen Saints of the other realms, they also wanted to eliminate Shan Hai Qi Xia and the rest.
Gu Qing Shan pondered briefly before returning to the cavern.
He pulled his bow out and shot all the ropes tying the corpses on the ceiling, then used the cut-off ropes to pull each of the corpses out of the cavern.
A total of 14 bodies were laid neatly on the ground.
After carefully examining them all, Gu Qing Shan calmed down slightly.
From the numerous wounds on these bodies, each of them had gone through a battle, but the battles themselves weren’t particularly intense, and none of them were struck with any sort of especially potent skills.
—–it seems those three really haven’t awoken their Samsara Divine Skills.
That’s good news.
The only one I need to look out for is the old man.
Then…
I’ll give the humans of the Beast King realm a little wake-up call.
Having made up his mind, Gu Qing Shan took out the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid.
[Moon Invitation], activate!
One full day had passed, so it was just in time for him to find some help.
Thin lines of red glowing strings manifested in front of Gu Qing Shan to form a door.
At the same time, lines of bloody red text continuously appeared:
[Moon Invitation’s summoning target is currently random]
[Attention: Due to a shared Title between you and a certain slumbering individual, your chances of summoning him has been increased]
[Through the name of the ‘Pure Love Gang’, you’ve discovered another male who had kept himself pristine, having the potential to join the ‘Pure Love Gang’]
[—–Because he had always been dumped by others]
After showing that message, all the text instantly vanished.
The large red door opened with a bang.
A man wearing a black leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses landed on the ground.
He adjusted the fingerless leather gloves on his hand and smirked: “The coolest man in the world has woken up—– whether it’s assassinating or hunting, you’re right in calling me”
—–Zhang Ying Hao!
