The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 567: Sacrifice, Hope

"Who are you?" Finally, Henry asked. He was quite curious about the origin of this young man in front of him. Of course, although he was referring to him as a young man, Henry believed that he was definitely older than him.

Lucian looked at Henry with a frown on his face. Of course, he was not happy about the fact that he was being questioned. But thinking about it, he had not introduced himself to this young man. And due to that reason, this young man might be ignorant of whom he was.

In any case, it had been many years since they had been sealed within the coffins. So, it was normal for the people that were outside to forget about them. In any case, it was definitely not going to be much of him to inform this brat whom he was.

First of all, he got out of the coffin, before stretching his muscles. Then, he looked at Henry and said, "I don’t really know how long it has been ever since we had been sealed here. But even then, I do believe that the catastrophe that was facing this world has already passed."

Henry was quite confused about what catastrophe this guy was talking about. In any case, this was definitely the first time that he was hearing about this. He had been living in this world for the past over 20 years, but even then, he did not know any history about this world that stated that there was a time that this world was about to be destroyed.

It might be true that he had stayed within that island for more than 10 years, but even then, he was well informed after he came back from the island, during the apocalypse. And for that reason, it was definitely impossible for him not to know the history, considering that if it was something that was well known within the world, he would definitely know about it.

Lucian did not care about the change in Henry’s expression, and simply continued. "At that time, we had no choice but to hide. We were the only hope of the human race. We had lost the battle, and at that time, we were going to be eliminated. Had it not been for the fact that he sacrificed his life in order to be able to hide our presence, we would have also been eliminated at that time.

I don’t really understand how it is possible that the humans still exist in this world, but you might actually be from another world, or you might be the descendants of some of the survivors of that time that had not been lucky enough to be able to hide.

As for how they had managed to survive back then, I don’t really know. But even then, I do believe that it is a good thing that humans still exist in this world. And if my guess is not wrong, we are definitely approaching another apocalypse.

Since we are here, we are definitely going to give the human race a great advantage. With many level 9 divine rank experts existing, we will definitely be able to resist the members of the other races."

Lucian looked melancholic as he spoke about the past. The more he spoke about it, the more Henry understood what was going on. It seemed that this world had somehow experienced the apocalypse in the past.

But of course, the humans faced a great disadvantage. And due to that reason, they had no choice but to go to hiding in order to preserve themselves. Otherwise, they would definitely be wiped out from the face of this world.

Originally, the apocalypse was possessing 10 stages. And since it was something that happened systematically, it was not impossible for the humans to possess many divine rank experts. But the problem was the fact that the members of the other races that descended into this world were stronger as well.

Since many races were involved in the battle for domination, despite the fact that the human race possessed many divine rank experts, it was definitely impossible for them to be able to gain any advantage in that situation. And for that reason, they have no choice but to hide or be eliminated.

According to Lucian, it seemed that after they had been sealed away, the remaining race that managed to win the battle against all the other races thought that they had completed the mission of being the dominant race within this world, but they did not complete it by receiving the acknowledgment of the mastermind behind the apocalypse.

Of course, the battle for domination possessed a time limit. If the time limit ended and the other races had not managed to win, then they would be eliminated. Only the natives would survive, and perhaps that was something that had happened. But of course, the time limit that was given was more than 100 years. The moment that it reached 101 years, the time for the battle for domination would end.

Of course, Lucian was only making assumptions. After all, he had been within this place for a long time, and he did not really know what had happened. But the assumptions that he was making were kind of related to the information that he possessed before he was sealed in this place.

As for the one who had hidden them in this place by sacrificing his life, it was none other than the leader of the human race at that time. During the time that the first apocalypse had descended into this world, the human race had managed to get together and form a single kingdom that rivalled the members of the other races.

But in the end, even with his superior strength, he was definitely not capable of dealing with the members of the other races. And due to that, he had to sacrifice himself in order to be able to allow the others to survive. This was just the preservation of hope, hoping that the humans would be able to survive by hiding away.

It was a good thing that the coffins that they had been sealed within were capable of enabling people to slumber. During the time of slumber, their lifespan would reduce at a speed of 1/100 of the original speed.

That was the reason why they had been able to survive until today. Of course, they did not age, and neither did any of the body organs fail to function due to the unique ability of the coffin. Rather, it was due to the wood that was used in making the coffin. The coffin was an artifact that had been created with the ability of sustaining life.

Lucian forgot about himself and continued rambling about this and that. Henry was immediately fed with information about what had happened in the past. He did not know what had actually happened, but even then, he understood that it was definitely quite difficult in the past.

And there was another thing that he had noticed. That was the fact that after the world experienced an apocalypse and not even a single race managed to win the battle for domination, then, the other races would be eliminated.

Later on, after many years, the world would recover, before experiencing the apocalypse once again. Henry could not help but decide that no matter what, he would definitely look all over the world, just to make sure that there was not even a single race that was currently hiding and he did not know about it.

Otherwise, he was definitely not going to be able to win the battle for domination. And since that was the case, it was definitely going to be impossible for him to be able to get out of this world discreetly. He might be forced to use his own strength in order to break the barrier that was enveloping this world at the moment.

But that was something that he was not willing to do at the moment considering that if he did something like that, he would definitely alarm the mastermind behind the apocalypse. At the same time, it was not impossible for him to be able to alert his enemies, whom he believed that they were continuing to search for his whereabouts. After all, they had never verified that he was dead, even after many years had passed.

Finally, after more than an hour, Lucian seemed to have completed his ramblings. It was then that he looked at Henry, realizing that the guy was deep in thought, as if he was not paying attention to what he was saying before.

Although he was irritated and wanted to deal with Henry at this moment, he decided against it. In any case, there was another thing that he had to deal with, and that was the fact that he had to wake up the others that had been sealed together with him.

After waking them up, he was going to ask for more information about the current situation in this world. Of course, he believed that the apocalypse had already descended into this world again, considering that he could already tell that Henry was strong. This was definitely not something that was going to happen in case the apocalypse had not descended.

Henry did not follow Lucian as he went ahead to wake up even more figures within the forest. And one by one, each and every one of them, having already reached level 9 of the divine rank, possessed incredible abilities. The moment that they were unlocked from the coffins that they were locked within, they released their auras, as if they had been restrained for long, and wanted to vent out.

Finally, after more than an hour, Lucian came back with a group of people. It was a total of more than 100 people, and each and every one of them was already at level 9 of the divine rank. It was a mixture of genders, but one thing stood out about each and everyone of them. That was the fact that they were extremely young, at least they were young during the time that they were being sealed within the coffins.
