Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 76: Rulers

"Anything yet?" Questioned Gu Yue to the shadow kneeling behind her as she was sitting down on a patch of lush grass.

"No, your majesty." Said the man causing Gu Yue to narrow her glittering eyes.

"It has been almost year and yet you guys still haven't discovered an island that we can use!" Gu Yue snap at the man causing him to shiver.

"Your majesty, I understand your dissatisfaction but we have had our hands tied recently. Those Evil Spirit Master have been requesting our cooperation for the past months, and we have to avoid the eyes of the Pagoda." Said The man.

Gu Yue sighed as she continues to stare at the ocean before her. She was at the place where Na'er told her, Wulin trained to awaken his spirit.

They were planning to meet up here and check each other progress but it seems her side may be having some trouble.

'Those damn pest.' Thought Gu Yue as her mind wanders to the Evil Spirit Masters. She knew they were trying to use her people as tools in order to fulfill their goal.

This should be obvious to them but the Spirit Beasts are all fed up with their recent treatment and has long since become lost to their rage.

'It's a good thing those at the top at least have the mind to be wary of them.' Thought Gu Yue.

"What has Di Tian said about them?" Questioned Gu Yue.

"He has told us their more likely to destroy the human race than us." Said the man causing Gu Yue to fall back into thought.

The Evil Spirit Master was akin to a double edge sword to her. Their cultivation itself weakens the strength and power of humanity. Yet their mentality may also lead to the destruction of her race, as they would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

'To use them or not to use them.' Thought Gu Yue as she began to go over the risks that they will bring upon them.

"Also your majesty, Di Tian is wondering what you will do with Tang Wulin? He fears the boy may grow too strong to stop in the near future." Said the man causing Gu Yue to glance at him.

'...I see it must be because of the collapse of the Dragon Valley and the Star Luo tournament.' Thought Gu Yue.

All of the higher up Spirit Beast found out how the Dragon Valley and all of them were worried.

Especially Di Tian after he went out to gather more accurate information about Tang Wulin and he came back with a look of shock.

He kept on persisting that she kills Tang Wulin before he can grow any more. This confused the other higher up not because of how Di Tian wanted him dead but how insistent he was being.

When The Hell Demon King asked Di Tian why he was being so demanded, he utters only a few words.

'A boy like that, he may be more talented than Huo Yuhao and maybe even Tang San.'

These words made all of the Spirit Beast there fall into profound silence. They all heard of Tang San feats, from him being the founder of the Tang Sect to being one of the original seven devils and finally to becoming a god.

Then their Huo Yuhao who they were more familiar with and his unbelievable battle prowess. Heck, he became strong enough to beat Di Tian without even using all of his power and then rose up to become a god.

They both were people who transform and change the whole Douluo Continent. Their talent and prowess were basically unmatched.

And yet, Di Tian believes that Tang Wulin might be able to surpass them if he continues growing.

That honestly scared them all, when they realize the grand scope of how strong he would be after he absorbs the Dragon God soul.

Gu Yue sighed but before she could say anything, another voice rang out.

"That is my big brother you are talking about." Said Na'er as she gave the man a murderous stare. Gu Yue watches at the man shiver but he didn't say anything as he remains in a kneeling position.

"I do hope, you guys aren't trying to do anything to him. After all, I would hate to have to execute some of you." Said Na'er as her luminous eyes began to glow.

Gu Yue shook her head and dismiss the man, who disappeared from both of their sights. Gu Yue then turned her gaze toward Na'er with an exasperated look.

"Really? Couldn't you have just waited a little bit?" Said Gu Yue, causing Na'er to roll her eyes.

"Nevermind them for now. Any news about the land?"Questioned Na'er as she came closer to Gu Yue.

"Sadly no." Said Gu Yue.

"Hm, about the Pagoda? Anything suspicious?" Asked Na'er as her eyes began to narrow.

"I'm not certain." Said Gu Yue honesty.

Na'er gave Gu Yue a glance but in the end, sighed.

"What about you and Shrek?" Asked Gu Yue.

"Yun Ming wants me to become the Sea God Pavillion Master when I'm strong enough." Said Na'er as she turns her head to the boundless ocean.

"That good, with this we would be able to control two of the most massive organization on this continent." Said Gu Yue.

"We're not going to use them to destroy all of humanity." Said Na'er causing Gu Yue to turn her head to her.

"Do you really believe we can gain peace with the existence of humanity?" Questioned Gu Yue.

"I don't know." Said Na'er.

She knew as long as humanity needed Spirit Rings to get stronger, that it may be impossible for both races to co-exist peacefully.

Spirit Souls was able to alleviate this problem for a while but the unbridled greed of slaying a beast that is over a hundred thousand years for its ring can be very hard to resist.

Na'er ultimately did not want that to come to pass and was glad Wulin was willing to help them out. She wasn't sure if she would be able to go against him at all if he decided to stay on humanity side.

"Can't the Spirit Pagoda Research help us find another way?" Said Na'er.

"If I knew what it was, I would have already mentioned it. These guys are way too corrupt." Said Gu Yue as her eyes narrow.

"In the end, the Pagoda and the Federation have to be destroyed."

"A pleasant night." Said Zeref as he appeared beside Tang Wulin.

They were sitting on the rooftop of the base they recently conquered. The army had to decorate and relocate some of the ruined areas, to allow themselves to rest here comfortably. Right now in the courtyard, the humans were cheering and laughing around the fireplace.

Around the base was unstable were tall pine trees that were unnaturally long, rising to the height of a tall building. The area around them felt desolate with the ground being cracked everywhere and some hills around being broken apart.

Tang Yun made sure to put some torches around the area and also have some of the humans watch out for any Spirit Beasts.

'I guess.' Thought Tang Wulin as he raised his head up to the night sky. He could see all the visible stars and moon shining dazzlingly.

"Is something the matter?" Asked Sleipnir as she appeared beside Tang Wulin.

'Its nothing.'

"Hm, so what are you going about to do with the Spirit Beast in this era?" Questioned Zeref causing Tang Wulin to sigh.

'I will most likely destroy the fraction who wants to wipe out the human and then continue on my way towards Yggdrasil.' Thought Tang Wulin.

"Do you think we did the right thing?" Questioned Sleipnir as she glances towards the human.

"The right thing?" Questioned Zeref.

"Was our decision to interfere right?"

"Who knows." Said Tang Wulin as he began to get lost in thought. Memories of the Dragon Festival kept on resurfacing in his mind as he was waging war on the Spirit Beast.

He thought he buried those dreadful memories deep within himself a long time ago. The Dragon war that took everything and gave him everything.

Tang Wulin was so lost in thought he didn't notice his Bloodline core lighting up and the seven colors around him began to leave his body.

'What.' Thought Tang Wulin as he saw those familiar seven colors departing from his body and moving toward a direction.

Tang Wulin moved his head and saw they were heading somewhere and then turned back to him.

'Does it want me to follow it?'

"I think so." Said Sleipnir as she narrowed her eyes.

Tang Wulin fell silent for a second before standing up and jumping down to where Tang Yun was.

"Hey, brother Wulin." Said Tang Yun as he looks down to Tang Wulin who finally decided to jump down from the tower.

"I'm leaving for a while, defend the place until I come back." Said Tang Wulin and he then jumped out of the base without giving Tang Yun a chance to speak.

"Hold o-."

Tang Yun couldn't finish as he saw Wulin dashing over the walls and heading off to somewhere with breakneck speed.

"Damn it, I wanted to advise him about this area." Said Tang Yun with a regretful look.

"Oh, is there something extraordinary about this area?" Questioned one of the women near him.

"The fact that you don't know about this place must mean you came from another base." Said a man who was sitting next to Tang Yun.

"Your familiar with this area?." Asked Tang Yun.

"Yes, I am." Said the man with a regretful look causing Tang Yun to clap him on his shoulder with pity.

"Brother Yan, what so scary about this place?" Asked Xia Yan as he began noticing the odd atmosphere between him and man.

"This place is home to one of the Calamities that rules this land." Said Tang Yun with a grave looks his face.

The whole area fell into silence at the revelation and some people face turn paled. While not every human of this Era has seen a Calamity, they have at least heard about it.

The Four Calamities!

They were Spirit Beast whose strength was unmatched and unquestioned. Beings that were considered natural disasters by the people of this era.

These were beings who instilled the concept of enduring or running away. They were beings that could not be fought, or a massacre will be the consequence.

"A Massacre? Did someone try fighting them before?" Questioned the man called Zhun Lu.

"The Spirit Beasts tried to kill a Calamity." Said Tang Yun.

"But why?" Questioned a woman.

"Because of a rumor, a silly rumor." Said Tang Yun with a bitter face.

There was a rumor that one could access Yggdrasil from killing the Four Calamities. This rumor whether it was true or not was too enticing to pass up.

And so a group of Spirit Beast assembled an army to go hunt down one of them.

"What happened?"

"What else could have happened? A brutal massacre and terrible destruction of the land." Said Tang Yun while shaking his head.

These Rulers later became known as the calamity that the Dragon God left behind but no one knew what their purpose was. As it wasn't like these beasts protected anyone or the land for that matter.

"So you're saying we could potentially die?" Said Xia Yan.

"Potentially, the Calamities don't care to interact with anyone. Even when they come out, they would overlook you." Said Tang Yun.

"But that doesn't mean it can't change."
