C2 Begin

Yang Tian, collapsed outside the warehouse, panting heavily, gasping for breath. It was only after a long while that Yang Tian gathered himself together and got back to the house.

His house was simply furnished — the only things inside were a bed and some chairs.

Yang Tian went straight to bed without taking a bath. This was the sweetest and the soundest sleep Yang Tian had ever had. During the apocalypse, he had to be alert at all times to prepare for any sudden crisis.

In the past twenty years in the apocalypse, Yang Tian had been running for his life; not for once had he stopped to rest. The crisis in the otherworld, the pursuit of the human forces... they had all exhausted Yang Tian.

But Yang Tian never gave up. His heart was filled with so much hatred that sometimes he even forgot who he really was. He didn't even know if what he did was right.

Since the apocalypse began, Yang Tian had been just like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, always ready to deal the enemy a fatal blow whenever he got a chance. Wherever Yang Tian went, there would be blood and fire, and those alien creatures and humans would suffer.

This was one of the main reasons why human forces refused to protect Yang Tian and alien creatures hated him so much.

...

That night, Yang Tian had a good dream, and his face was brimming with a smile in his sleep.

When Yang Tian woke up the next day, he had restored his energy.

"These weeds must all be cleaned up today."

Yang Tian picked up the hoe and continued the weeding. At noon, he ate some compressed food and rested for a while before getting back to work. Fortunately, there were not many wildflowers and weeds left.

After all the weeds and wildflowers in the ten acres of land were cleaned up, Yang Tian moved on to the area where he raised livestock. But he hadn't made up his mind what to do with these animals.

The moment the apocalypse began, all the animals on the earth would mutate, even cockroaches would have the ability to attack people, not to mention these livestock.

In his previous life, Yang Tian was a beast tamer, but he wasn't among the first ones to awaken their abilities. He became a beast tamer only after obtaining the inheritance of a level three beast tamer.

Back then, Yang Tian was just a weak, ordinary person, a victim. He didn't even have the ability to protect himself, let alone deal with the mutated creatures.

Presently, there were thirty chickens and ducks, and ten pigs in the manor. At the beginning of the apocalypse, all of them would mutate, but it wouldn't necessarily lead to a bad result. In his previous life, there had been a retired special police officer whose police dog had mutated. However, the mutated police dog did not attack its master; it instead still protect the police officer.

With the help of the mutated dog, the officer was able to protect the people around him.

However, this kind of situation was very rare. Most of the time, they turned against their master.

However, Yang Tian did not keep them just because he expected these animals to protect him. In fact, he wanted to obtain the first power of the apocalypse from his mutated bodies, present in the form of Energy Crystals that would be born in them — rare, but still possible. In Yang Tian's opinion, livestock that had undergone initial mutation would not pose much of a threat to him, so he might as well try his luck. Of course, Yang Tian would naturally be happy if the animals would still recognize him as their master.

"At dawn the day after tomorrow, it would be the end of the world."

When the apocalypse arrived at dawn on time, a tiny wormhole would open up in the atmosphere of the earth. The first batch of alien invaders would enter the earth, but the energy of the wormhole would only be enough to accommodate level one alien creatures. According to Yang Tian's memories, the first one to invade the earth was those from the Zerg Realm, and all kinds of level one insects rampaged all over the earth.

As the wormhole grew larger, other alien invaders would invade the earth, such those from the Demonic Beast Realm, the Abyss Realm, the Netherworld...

If humans could survive the first wave of invasion, then, on the dawn of the third day of the apocalypse, a rainfall of blood would bestowed the ability to resist the invasion of alien creatures on humans.

"I wonder if I can get the ability I want."

In his previous life, Yang Tian had obtained the ability of a beast tamer only by accident. When the apocalypse arrived, Yang Tian did not awaken his special ability, and on the third day, he did not experience the irrigation of the blood rain either. Therefore, before he acquired his ability, Yang Tian was just an ordinary person among the fleeing refugees.

But now things were different. Yang Tian would seize every opportunity. In his previous life, through the inheritance of an ordinary beast tamer, he was able to establish himself, and in the end, even all the leaders of the otherworld were afraid of him. He was the number one beast tamer in the Heavenly Empire.

Looking at the bright stars in the sky, Yang Tian waited for the apocalypse. This time, he would not miss any opportunity.

The third day arrived as expected. Yang Tian had a good rest the night before, so that he could be well prepared.

The livestock in the manor would be the first opportunity for Yang Tian to become stronger. The moment the apocalypse arrived, these animals would mutate and Yang Tian was already ready for it.

With the Tang Sabers and shields ready, Yang Tian was thinking whether he should kill a few pigs first. Even if the chickens and ducks mutated, they would not have a strong attack power anyway. However, the pigs would grow much larger, and ten of them would certainly pose a great threat to him.

"Goo, goo!"

When Yang Tian approached the pigsty, the pigs let out uneasy roars, two of them even bumped into Yang Tian.

"These two must be killed."

Right before the apocalypse, many animals would already show extremely violent personalities. The first target of these animals after mutation was usually humans. Now that Yang Tian had discovered them, he would surely kill them.

With two slashes, two irritable pigs died. The rest of the pigs retreated as they looked at Yang Tian in panic, the scene a big warning to them.

"Hmm?"

Yang Tian could sense the emotions of the pigs. Since they were afraid of him, then they wouldn't recognize him as their master.

Therefore, Yang Tian cut open small wounds on their necks, and blood flowed out. By dawn, most of the blood in their bodies would be drained.

At that time, even if they mutated, they wouldn't be too aggressive. However, this would reduce the probability of Energy Crystals being formed in their bodies.

As for the chickens and ducks, Yang Tian wouldn't bother. It would be great if they recognized him as their master, and if they didn't, he would just kill them.

Time passed by, and soon it was night. The moment the apocalypse arrived, the magnetic field on Earth would change, and all electrical equipment would break down. All kinds of disasters would occur one after another — volcanoes would erupt, and mudslides, tsunamis and earthquakes would turn the world into a hellhole.
