Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 504 The First Horseman

Which is it?

Famine, Death, War, Conquest.

There was no order to which these could come.

No matter what cycle you begin with, it will always end in despair.

For example, you could start with Death. Excess death could lead to separation.

So many things can happen when people are truly desperate.

Then, you can come in with famine, making them so hungry, they turn into monsters.

Then, war breaks out, with the emergence of the Horseman of war.

People fight for food and all sorts of perks.

Then, the horseman of conquest comes, plunging the world as theirs.

Will you sell your soul to the devil for a prince to dine at their table?

During that time when everything is dark, you best believe a majority of humans would turn dark too.

And by the time the real war begins, humanity is so divided that it cannot operate well enough to defend itself against the enemy.

Understand that when these horsemen arrive, most people will still be clueless about their true enemy, only thinking of other humans as their enemies.

Nations will fight nations, neighbors will kill neighbors, and so on.

In short, only in the very end will they realize they have bigger fries to deal with than each other.

Think of the horsemen as the ultimate distractions.

They are here to bring out the best negative emotions and fears in humanity, so when it's time to devour, the feast will be a grand one too sweet to pass up on.

Of course, not all humans will be killed. The lucky ones will get chosen and raised in human farms like pigs.

Their duties are to breed food before sending the food out to be eaten by the many underworld creatures that will roam the world after the war is over.

Make no mistake!

Should humanity lose, they will be kept on islands that are farms, places that will raise children with dreams of going to the outside world, only for them to get chosen and devoured when they are ripe enough for the taking.

In such a world, no matter where you run, there will always be monsters that can sniff you out from miles away.

Neverland is your future

You will always be good... and the world itself as they know it, will change forever!

Such a future was too bleak, but it now seems closer than ever with the emergence of the first horseman.

Dorian rubbed his wrist, wondering which horseman it was because although he hadn't defeated one before, he felt each should be unique as their creators.

Meaning their weaknesses and strengths were also different.

.

The air within the space grew cold, as each person had heavy thoughts of their own.

No one could describe the feeling the duo felt, knowing that the first signs of the end of days were here.

With the instructions given, Pandrol closed his eyes, communicating with his clones within the academy.

They were at the space within the Tian estate.

At the same time, Pandrol's clone closest to Endo's location, was quick to flash across the scene, heading for a grand hall where Endo was teaching.

It's rare for academy elders to teach, but once in a while, they do before heading back to cultivate in silence.

Endo had just finished his lesson and was about to look for his wife when suddenly, he felt Pandrol's heavy aura from afar.

Pandrol now slowed down, giving Endo a clear look on his face.

'Something is wrong!' Endo concluded, rushing to meet him halfway too.

Although Pandrol's Lion-head showed less emotion than humans, after spending much time with Pandrol, Endo felt he knew when Pandrol was upset, happy, serious or calm.

"Elder Pandrol, what's the matter?"

Pandrol hadn't said a thing, yet panic had already seized Endo's mind, despite his face still concealing his worry.

But when Pandrol finally spoke, Endo's entire body trembled with vigor with the same words ringing endlessly in his ears.

"The first horseman is here."

Boom!!!!!

His legs turned soft like noodles and he found himself soon leaning against Pandrol in disbelief.

"Are you sure? Are you certain? Is the end truly here?"

Water... water... water...

He who hasn't drank water in 3 days and didn't need much of it, suddenly felt the need to swallow up a river.

F***!

Isn't this moving too fast?

The grandmaster said that once the horsemen came, it meant they too needed to speed up their plans fast.

They must contain this situation and never let the horseman win.

But which one is it?

"Did he say?"

Pandrol shook his head sideways. "We have little knowledge of the current situation, and that's where you step in."

Endo nodded, knowing he was about to go on a mission again. Was he complaining?

No way!

He too has family in the outside world and knows how scary their enemy is.

So for humanity's sake, they must succeed!

Thinning his lips, Enod sighed heavily.

"It would be great if we had more elders in the academy."

Pandrol nodded, knowing how every elder was moving back to back, taking up missions, occasionally teaching and also cultivating.

They were very busy.

Thankfully, the Grandmaster devised a system that ensured that after a mission, the returned elders must stay at least 1 week to cultivate within the academy's super fertile grounds to raise their power levels.

Don't forget that this entire academy was like a holy ground filled with pure heavenly qi that many exorcists across the realms and worlds would kill over.

Here, one's cultivation can rise several times higher than normal because of the blessed land.

And to make people work harder, of course, the aura distribution is different in certain areas.

For example, the outer sect has a lower aura distribution than the inner sect, and even the lone hills the elders lived on also had tremendous advantages.

Pandrol nodded, agreeing with Endo. "It will be good to have more qualified elders, luckily, Examination day is just around the corner."

"Yes!" Endo brimmed with joy once more. "Soon, the academy will be swamped."

After a few words, Endo vanished in another direction, and Pandrol's clone vanished in the opposite direction.

As for Dorian, he had other matters to deal with.

First, he had to locate this horseman and trap for himself.

That can be done on a later date, perhaps tomorrow or 3 days after.

Why? Because he had to deal with the matters involving the city... particularly matters concerning a certain Ice Cream man.
