Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

Euryak's funeral was very simple.

For the eldest son of a founding emperor, this could even be described as somewhat hasty.

Aside from Elder Mitt and others like Gobelins who witnessed Euroark's death firsthand and spread the news by word of mouth,

Gobelin's top brass made no other arrangements to specifically disseminate the information.

So by the time most of the Gobelins in the territory knew the situation and spontaneously wore white strips of cloth as a symbol of mourning on their shoulders, three days and nights had passed since Euroark's low-key cremation.

Throughout this process, the massive machine known as the 'collective' never stopped.

All the gears are still meshing precisely and working continuously, moving towards the goal.

However, the atmosphere has quietly shifted from the harmony, stability, and prosperity of the past to a serious, urgent, heavy, and oppressive one.

The truth behind Euryak's death is still under investigation, and the specific cause has not yet been released.

But Gobelins and their ilk can guess.

Especially a small number of clever individuals who are quick-witted and can find clues from the slightest hints.

Their adoration for Babayak, the founding emperor, naturally influenced their speculation about the truth.

Incorporating subjective emotions, and then combining this with the direction the entire community is currently striving for,

Many Gobelins quickly turned their attention to the Croat people outside the region.

This kind of idea spread like a rapidly spreading infectious disease, rampantly among the Gobelins, a single race living in an endless forest.

In their limited understanding and imperfect perspective, it was the great Lord Lu Li who saved His Majesty Emperor Babayak and gave him clear guidance, enabling the Goberin race to escape the quagmire of lowliness and continue to thrive!

Babayak repaid Lord Lu Li's kindness with his unwavering loyalty.

They value everything the other person gives them, even more than their own lives!

Therefore, after the important item [The Mask of Corrosion] was lost, His Majesty Babayak repeatedly sent Gobelin to negotiate with the Kro tribe.

They were even willing to exchange something worth a hundred times more than that item!

But the despicable Khoshut people were unyielding and extremely arrogant.

Not only did they refuse to agree to the deal, they also repeatedly insulted and killed the envoy!

His Majesty the Emperor Babayak has been patient.

We endure for the future of the Gobelin people!

If the burden on his shoulders weren't so heavy, he might have already slaughtered the entire Kro tribe!

If he hadn't been concerned about the future continuation of the Gobelins, perhaps his beloved son, Oroark, wouldn't have died!

It was Babayak's selfless dedication that moved Gobelins and others.

It was precisely because of this feeling that they respected Babayak even more!

With the accumulation of various emotions, Gobelins and his ilk quickly entered a terrifying state of 'unity of purpose'.

Cohesion is at an all-time high!

Gobelins and his ilk secretly held their breath.

A fit of anger!

I'm just waiting for the day when I can let it all out!

But the perspective shifts,

From the perspective of Gobelin's top management, the situation appears to be quite different.

Babayak certainly cared about the prop that Lu Li had given him, the [Gold-Etched Mask].

The repeated negotiations with the Kro tribe were indeed in an attempt to find a way to get that item back.

Although it is only of perfect quality, its value is not high.

But its significance is extraordinary.

However, the reason why he did not take action for twenty years was not because His Majesty the Emperor was enduring or bearing a heavy burden.

Instead, he wanted to minimize Gobelin's casualties and find the safest and least damaging solution.

Babayak's authority is based on loyalty.

While remaining loyal to Lu Li, one can not only replicate his talent ability [Soul Devouring], but also gradually become similar to him in terms of personality.

The original intention behind the construction of the megastructure "Kaitian" was to create a second habitat for the Gobelin people, integrating living, migration, and combat.

Babayak had also anticipated that success would not be so easy.

After all, he is only 318 years old.

He is far from reaching the 618 years old that Xing Anlin predicted in the divine ruins.

If this 'sky-opening' megastructure were to operate successfully and easily, then Babayak would have to start worrying about the future of his people.

Because of his personality, if he could lead his entire clan to leave the Endless Great Forest and settle down in the real universe, he would certainly not let Lu Li suffer any grievances three hundred years later.

And now, that memory from six hundred years in the future remains unchanged.

That proves that Gobelins did not manage to leave the Endless Forest with their entire clan.

Babayak had considered that the megastructure might be damaged for some reason during the final assembly process, or that it might simply be unable to rely on the energy of a star to achieve inter-domain teleportation.

But he never expected that his son, Oroark, would die during the manipulation!

Even the soul was completely annihilated and disappeared.

Even the Soul Devourer technique copied from Lu Li couldn't preserve his consciousness.

The pain of losing his son was like a loud alarm bell, ringing sharply in Babayak's ears!

This reminded him once again of the advice Lu Li had given him—

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to victory; arrogance is.

Over the long years, he gradually forgot this piece of advice.

Just as he had long since grown accustomed to his lost left foot, his lame left leg.

He started to become arrogant.

Nurturing the concentration of power, inflated ambitions quietly break free of restraint and become blindly arrogant!

It was precisely because of his arrogance and underestimation of the terrifying power of the rules that Euryak met his end.

Without fully understanding the ancient secret texts, they couldn't wait to embark on an adventurous attempt!

The fact that he was ambushed by the Kro Clan in the Gray Domain and lost the [Golden Mask] was already a small reminder from fate.

why?

Why didn't he care?!

That night, Babayak reopened the scar on his left leg with a knife.

He wanted to use this extreme method to remind himself that he must firmly follow the path he had set out to take!

With the divine transformation imminent, the actions against the Kro tribe must be expedited!

Different perspectives lead to completely different understandings.

But the final result was the same, inexplicably achieving a situation where everyone was of one mind...

In contrast to the hectic activity on this side of the endless forest, the current state of unity, where different ideas are combined but efforts are directed towards the same goal,

The situation in the real universe is much more dire.

First, there's the side of the God of Slaughter, the Chosen Ones.

Because of Xu Rangxi's suggestion, he finally began to turn his arrogant gaze down to the demons that he had previously ignored.

After learning that the Kro tribe's high-ranking officials had contacted Gobelin multiple times over the past twenty years, and that Gobelin's consistent demand was a golden skull mask,

Wu She finally sensed something was wrong.
