My Apocalypse Territory

Throughout his thousands of years of life, the Pope had never felt so humiliated.

He had always been a major figure controlling the lifeline of the world, but today, he was looked down upon.

What's wrong with being a native? After all, their Aino Continent also has a history of tens of thousands of years, countless inheritances, and the Royal Family even possesses a very mature training program. Their combat power far exceeds that of peers at the same level; they may not necessarily be inferior to these outsiders...

Uh,

The Pope glanced at the First Bishop in the distance, who was falling behind.

His own Third Tier couldn't beat the opposing Second Tier Peak, and even as a seasoned Domain Level expert, the chance of losing in a one-on-one fight was huge.

The outsiders from the "Heart Demon Clan" were indeed strong; the same bodies, once they occupied them, could exert even greater combat power.

But those other outsiders are just the same humans as them, intrinsically no worse off than...

Uh,

Recalling the recent battle, he couldn't beat the "strongest weapon" who was merely at Second Tier Peak.

His bishops, probably couldn't defeat those First Tier Transcendents with domains.

Eyes confirmed,

They were all surpassed by people climbing tiers.

Are outsiders really that formidable?

The Pope's face was icy cold, but his heart was in agony; he kept his composure while widening the distance.

He was silently rejecting Tang Yu's proposal.

Join forces? What a joke!

Your group of outsiders is awfully malicious, one side has taken away my "strongest weapon" that I have plotted for years, another has killed my capable subordinate.

The best outcome would be for both of you to suffer!

The Pope cursed vehemently.

Yet his ears remained upright, listening covertly.

How could he not, when even a casual word from the Heart Demon Clan and those humans bore exceptional value to him!

...

Tang Yu was simply calling upon the power of the world, subtly contending against the Heart Demon Clan expert.

Nancy and the others stood guard around, not intervening.

The Heart Demon Clan's soul seemed to also have no immediate intention to act, and the two exchanged probing words sporadically.

The "Heart Demon Clan" specializes in controlling the mind, not only as a racial ability but also in analyzing others' psychology.

Their words are laced with all sorts of insinuations.

The Great Sovereign will eventually rule the Endless World,

Aino Continent is already their territory, there is no escape,

It's too unworthy for a Human Race genius to fall here.

And more along the lines of Human Race geniuses defecting to the Great Sovereign, now dominants in their own right.

Threats coupled with temptations,

The words are skillful, compounded by the domain's influence on emotions and the spiritual power mixed into the conversation—were it a true Human Race genius, who knows... they might have defected to the "Devil Race" already.

Even if a Transcendent has a firm will, one cannot expect everyone to be staunchly loyal.

"No, it's not possible... we would rather die here or jump from the top of the World Tree than side with your Alien Race!"

"Human Race will never be enslaved!"

Tang Yu spoke these resolute words with a tone that was somewhat hesitant.

It seemed as though he was just putting on a brave face.

The eyes of the Heart Soul brightened a bit.

Enlisting a Human Race genius would be a significant contribution.

Ordinary geniuses he didn't care for, as he, Heart Soul, also a genius within his clan, had the authority to dominate the Aino world. Yet even he only grasped the domain after breaking through to the Third Tier, and though just a few decades had passed since his breakthrough, his Domain Power had already far surpassed that of the veteran Pope.

A monstrous genius who controlled the domain at First Tier was rare even among the Upper Envoy Clan.

If he could enlist these few monstrous geniuses, not only would he be favored by the senior members of his clan, but he might also receive rewards from the Great Sovereign.

The Heart Soul continued to persuade with patience.

Tang Yu pretended to hesitate while also discreetly gathering intelligence.

Much of what the Heart Demon Clan experts might think was insignificant, to him, held great value.

After all, he was not a genius from a major Human Race power.

The "fall of the gods" during the Third Epoch on Origin Star dated back at least hundreds of thousands of years, and to a Transcendent, that would seem like aeons, only the immortal Saints could withstand the forces of time.

He had some understanding of both the "Devil Race" and the "Heart Demon Clan," but he was unclear about the current situation.

Gradually,

Tang Yu began to speculate.

It seemed there was an even larger Alliance fighting against the "Devil Race," and the Alliance wasn't just comprised of the Human Race but included countless species from the Endless World.

The strength of the "Devil Race" could thus be seen.

They were battling on multiple fronts, yet they still had the upper hand.

But he guessed that the "Devil Race" must not be having it easy either.

There was evidence for this,

The King of Aino Kingdom had once been only a Second Tier; the Heart Demon Clan couldn't erode the souls of those who were at a higher realm than themselves, suggesting that the Heart Demon expert before them had only broken through to Domain Level in the past thirty years.

And the Domain Level expert who had blocked the Pope was merely an incarnation; his body must have belonged to some old immortal of the former Aino Kingdom.

A Second Tier Expert of the "Heart Demon Clan" could perhaps defeat a Third Tier native, but killing was much more difficult.

He surmised that during the battle years ago, there must have been Domain Level experts among the Alien Race, and not just one.

But now there were only two "Heart Demon Clan" experts—insufficient to guarantee stopping Tang Yu and the Pope and others—if there were extra Domain Level experts, it wouldn't make sense for them to still be dragging their feet.

Who needs to rely on words to flee if they could crush their enemies?

No doubt those Domain Level experts had been deployed elsewhere, into other Battlefields.

Tang Yu decided to go back and verify his guess with those Alien Races.

Time ticked by.

Three minutes,

Two minutes,

One minute,

Thirty seconds,

Twenty seconds…

Suddenly, the Heart Demon expert revealed a cunning smile, "Human Race prodigies, you're still too young. Do you know why I didn't immediately capture you? Because I was worried that you might have some treasure capable of creating an unexpected turn of events. But now…"

Far above the Heavenly Dome, it appeared as though a high-ranking entity was drawing near.

The presence hadn't arrived yet, but all the Transcendents with keen Perception were filled with dread.

The Law Power of the Holy Tier enveloped this Life Planet, sealing off the planet's space from the outside world.

"... Even if you have Super Tier Teleportation Scrolls, you won't be able to leave this cage now. Surrender obediently, hehehe…"

As the words of the Heart Demon expert fell,

The presence of the Holy Tier finally, distantly arrived.

Everyone's faces turned pale as they looked up into the Heavenly Dome, seemingly catching a glimpse of a towering, earth-shattering phantom.

Resembling a god or demon!

Tang Yu was not having an easy time; after all, he was only an ordinary First Tier, but he began to laugh.

His laugh was somewhat inexplicable.

Did the prodigy of the Human Race really surrender without any backbone?

Then, Tang Yu raised his hand, waving it left and right, "Bye-bye, I'll see you… sometime."

[World Tree transfer preparations complete, beginning cross-dimensional transport.]

The half-withered, half-green World Tree suddenly burst into a hazy glow, brightening the entire old Royal Capital.

It was like daylight.

Immediately,

Tang Yu, Nancy, Eileen, and the others began to glow with a white light.

Within the white light, hearts and souls still saw the Human Race prodigy waving.

Waving…

A very friendly farewell.

The next instant,

Whoosh—

The towering World Tree disappeared into the clouds, leaving nothing but intertwined, dead roots on the ground.

The sound of rustling,

Countless lifeless, shattered branches fell from the sky, raining down over the old Royal Capital.

Also disappearing were Tang Yu and the others.

Even with his Domain that covered the entire old Royal Capital, he couldn't detect the slightest trace.

"???"

The Heart Soul was a bit dazed.

Such a huge World Tree with the ability to run away on legs?

He looked up to see the shadow in the sky radiating intense light, a terrifying presence sweeping across the continent.

The Saints were furious!

They really escaped?!
