Apocalypse Gachapon

Evolved who have survived until now weren’t fools.

Perhaps greed can blind them, but they weigh the pros and cons when it comes to life and death.

This was true for Ye Zhongming, who had lived two lives.

No one knew that he had almost decided to attack.

If it weren’t for Gyanendra being present…

Since the Holy One from West Asia was here, it meant he had a way to deal with Ye Zhongming.

At least, Gyanendra himself believed so.

Gyanendra had previously been defeated by Ye Zhongming in West Asia. His Burial Crystal Ball shattered, and he suffered severe injuries. Although the Holy One had nearly been killed, it hadn’t been an exceptionally difficult battle from Ye Zhongming’s perspective.

At the time, Gyanendra might have been overly confident in his Burial Barrier, which led to his crushing defeat when Ye Zhongming broke through it in one strike.

If it were Ye Zhongming, he would never actively seek out someone who had defeated him before for another challenge without absolute certainty.

Now that Gyanendra was here, it meant he was confident in himself.

Ye Zhongming had to be cautious when facing this former powerhouse without the Cloud Peak warriors.

In his hesitation, Alamos brought up the matter of the three King Crowns, completely dispelling Ye Zhongming’s thoughts of attacking.

Ye Zhongming was slightly taken aback. Although Alamos’s description of the three King Crowns differed somewhat from his own understanding of the Ocean King Wheel, the curse master’s confident demeanor made him decide to listen.

“Mr. Ye, do you want everyone to hear this?”

“Let’s all hear it.”

Ye Zhongming was also wary of any tricks, so he decided not to split from his own group.

Alamos didn’t mind. He said, “As far as I know, aside from appearing on a few level-nine wheels, seven-colored equipment must be cultivated or crafted by evolved.”

“Are you saying the Ocean King Crown is seven-colored grade equipment?” Ruan Xiao interjected, unable to resist the allure of the highest-known grade of equipment.

It was like two evolved of the same level fighting—the one with better equipment would have a higher chance of winning. If the equipment was vastly superior, it might even allow for defeating opponents of a higher level.

Evolution level, job, bloodline, skills, and equipment were the three standards for measuring an evolved’s strength.

Alamos glanced at Ruan Xiao but didn’t answer, only shaking his head slightly.

“Of course, crafting or cultivating seven-colored grade equipment is extremely difficult. Aside from a few exceptional jobs or those with great fortune, the chances for others are slim.”

“In addition, there are some special sealed equipment. They are inherently seven-colored grade but have had their abilities restricted for some reason. Once unsealed, they will return to their original state.”

“The Ocean King Crown is such an item.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Zhongming with renewed awe.

This guy not only had elemental spirits but also future seven-colored equipment!

“These pieces of equipment are extremely unique. For example, the Ocean King Crown, Mountain King Crown, and Sky King Crown are collectively known as the three King Crowns, belonging to the category of Ruler Equipment.”

This was another term no one had heard before, not even Ye Zhongming in his two lifetimes.

“As for what Ruler Equipment is, I can’t say for certain. I only learned this term when I received information about the Mountain King Crown.”

As Alamos spoke, he glanced at Ye Zhongming again, noticing that the man remained unmoved. He realized Ye Zhongming was determined to maintain the status quo and hear the rest of the information.

“At the summit of Denali Mountain in Alaska, someone once saw a very special and peculiar wheel. The faction this person belonged to went through great hardships to reach it and spin the wheel. But they failed the challenge. Only a few escaped, and one later joined my laboratory, becoming my assistant—David.”

Alamos finished and looked at the assistant who had turned the space into its current state.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The final reward on that wheel was the Mountain King Crown. At the time, the team leader kept saying before his death, ‘What a pity, such a great piece of Ruler Equipment, and I missed it.’”

Hearing David’s words, everyone exchanged glances. Ruan Xiao asked, “Where is this Denali Mountain?”

“It’s the highest peak in North America, located in the central part of the Alaska Range, with an elevation of over 6,000 meters. It used to be called Mount McKinley but was renamed a few years before the apocalypse.”

Mount McKinley. Deacon Water nodded. She had heard of the place, though she had never been there. A friend had mentioned it before.

The mountain was located in a national park almost at the center of Alaska. She remembered it because of the large caribou, a distinctive animal in the area.

“Is that all?” Ye Zhongming frowned.

Alamos smiled. “If it were just the location, I would indeed be wasting Mr. Ye’s time. Let David explain the rest. Since you and I appeared together, me and David can’t have prearranged this, so please trust us.”

He then gestured to his assistant.

David hesitated before saying, “I roughly know the challenge method of this wheel and what we would face. I also have a plausible theory: Ruler Equipment, with immense power, is unique to the wheels on Earth. They come in sets… seven-colored equipment, likely three sets.”

He then explained the challenge method of the Earth King Wheel and the opponents they would face.

Having challenged the Ocean King Wheel himself, Ye Zhongming felt that David’s account was likely true. The two special wheels had similarities.

For the first time, the concept of three sets of seven-colored equipment, or RulerEquipment, was revealed to everyone.

“You never coveted it?”

Li Daqian sneered coldly.

If what these people said was true, even a fool would know how powerful Ruler Equipment was. Alamos and his group had even targeted Thousand Beast Villa. How could they pass up a piece of seven-colored grade equipment?

“Of course, we coveted it and even tried, but we failed. We eventually concluded that the Earth King Wheel isn’t always accessible. If you go at the wrong time, while facing the treacherous environment and numerous mutated lifeforms along the way, you’ll only see a wheel and nothing else.”

“I’m sharing this information not to give up on the Earth King Crown but to use it as a bargaining chip for us to leave peacefully. As for who ultimately obtains this equipment, we’ll each rely on our own abilities.”

“How do we know the timing you’re giving us is accurate?” Ruan Xiao asked again.

“I’ll swear a Heart Oath.” Alamos pulled out a scroll. Many recognized it as a Promise Scroll. After swearing on it, the scroll would change color if the oath were false. If true, it would remain unchanged—a kind of lie detector.

“David and I will each write down the date, and you should believe us with this scroll.”
