I am the Flame Emperor

"What exactly is a god?"

Lin Yu muttered to himself in his heart. During the six years of the apocalypse in his previous life, he had never heard of any gods until his death.

"Is it a dream?"

"Or an illusion?"

Scenes from the post - apocalypse flashed through his mind, but he found no trace related to gods.

"Forget it. For now, I should follow the plan." Lin Yu opened QQ Messenger and sent a message to his sister, "Xiaoyou, do you trust me?" "Brother, I trust you. No matter what you say, I believe you." Lin Xiaoyou replied solemnly without the slightest hesitation.

Both of them grew up in an orphanage, relying on each other since childhood and never leaving each other's side.

In this world, her brother was the closest person to her and her only support.

They were not blood - related, but closer than family.

Moreover, in her heart, she always remembered what her brother said when they were young.

Although it might have been just a child's joke, she had kept it in mind. "Okay, no matter how absurd what I say next is, don't ask any questions. Just do as I say."

"Tell me, brother. I'll remember it firmly."

Lin Xiaoyou replied obediently.

"I've ordered some food, drinks, and daily necessities for you. The supermarket staff will deliver them to your school tomorrow morning.

When everyone is in class, go and pick them up. Put all of them under your dormitory bed and hide some in the cabinet. Don't tell anyone!"

"Also, remember that there will be an abnormal meteor shower tonight…" "And at 12 noon tomorrow, red rain will fall from the sky. You must get drenched in it for as long as possible…"

Lin Yu's tone was serious. He didn't explain anything, just gave instructions on the key points.

He also sent a message on QQ Messenger to his best childhood friend, Wang Kang, also known as Wang Ergou, and told him a lot of things.

This guy risked his life to save him in the previous life.

Even when he was dying, his hand was tightly gripping Xie Haoran's foot, just to buy Lin Yu some time to escape. "In this life, I'll wipe out all the enemies and let my brothers live well."

The meteor shower at midnight tonight would bring countless rare items and materials.

The red rain at 12 noon tomorrow was the factor to stimulate talents and was equally important.

The more one absorbed, the easier it would be to awaken their talents.

Of course, if there was no latent talent ability in the body, then even if one absorbed the red rain, it would be of no use. Lin Yu remembered that on the top of Xiyun Mountain in Kundou City, where he was, a huge meteorite had fallen, scattering many rare treasures.

"I must obtain the blood of the Fire Dragon inside."

Lin Yu's eyes were firm.

In the previous life, the person who got it became the first (Third - order) powerhouse in Kundou City, leading the way on the path of evolution.

That person had an S - class talent: Ability Absorption. After obtaining the dragon's blood, he used his talent to absorb the power in the blood and gained the ability to turn his hands into dragon claws. It was said that after his hands turned into dragon claws, his strength multiplied several times. In the early stage, he could easily tear apart all kinds of zombies and monsters with just a pair of dragon claws.

"Although my talent is not S - class Ability Absorption, absorbing the power of the Fire Dragon can also upgrade my talent."

That's right, in his previous life, Lin Yu's awakened talent was the most mediocre F - class talent: Blaze.

In the early stage, he could only use simple means like small fireballs and fire snakes to burn enemies with flames, which was really underwhelming. But his talent was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. He could devour other fire - attribute energies to upgrade his talent. This was something that other fire - attribute talents couldn't do. Among fire - attribute talents, he was unique.

"My talent is not an elemental type, but a devouring type."

If nothing unexpected happened, in this life, his awakened talent would still be F - class Blaze.

However, with the experience of the previous life, he was already extremely familiar with his talent ability.

First of all, he could devour all kinds of rare treasures containing fire - attribute to upgrade his talent.

"In this life, those so - called 3S talents and 6S talents are nothing." "My goal is -" "9S Super - God - class talent!!"

Lin Yu grinned.

In the previous life, he discovered this too late. He thought he was just an ordinary fire - element type, thus wasting a lot of precious time.

As far as he knew, when everyone first awakened their talents, the highest was only S - class. Perhaps there were extremely special cases where one could awaken to SS - class at the beginning.

But evolving from S - class to 9S Super - God - class was extremely difficult. It required a deep understanding of one's own talent, coupled with some opportunities, to have a chance to upgrade by one level. In the previous life, among the most powerful powerhouses in the strongest sequence that Lin Yu knew, after six years of the apocalypse, they only seemed to have advanced to 4S - class. It could be seen how difficult it was to upgrade one's talent.

But for him, it seemed much simpler...

As long as he found those terrifying flames he knew from his previous life and devoured them, his own talent could keep evolving.

9S Super - God - class was by no means a fantasy!

"When I advance to 6S God - class talent, I'm afraid those in the strongest sequence in the previous life are still struggling at 3S - class or 4S - class." Lin Yu thought to himself. The more advanced the talent upgrade, the more difficult it became, and the greater the gap.

The gap between SSSS - class and SS - class, although only two levels apart, was even greater than the gap between D - class and S - class.

"Even terrifying talents like Time, Space, Fate, and Cause - and - Effect have to bow before my high - level Fire Path."

In Lin Yu's eyes, a strong sense of confidence burst out.

In addition, he could eat fire.

That's right, just open his big mouth and suck in all kinds of flames to devour them, thus restoring his physical strength and magic power.

The third ability was that he could cover every part of his body with flames for attack or defense.

Wrapped in flames all over his body, he was like a Super Saiyan.

In close combat, he was a flame warrior.

In long - range attacks, he was a great fire - type mage.

"Kid, Xiyun Mountain is here."

A voice interrupted Lin Yu's thoughts.

"Thanks." Lin Yu paid and got off the vehicle.

He looked at the time on his phone: 21:23 on June 14, 80th year of the Great Xia Era.

"The time is tight."

Lin Yu's expression tightened. He found a small path and started climbing up.

The Xiyun Mountain scenic area closed at 5 pm and tourists were prohibited from entering. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he directly took the small path up the mountain.

Two hours later, Lin Yu was out of breath and sat down, leaning against a large rock.

"Fortunately, I made it…" Lin Yu took out his phone and checked. It was only a little over ten minutes until 12 midnight.

He looked down at Kundou City at his feet.

It was a magnificent night view with thousands of lights, peaceful and serene.

Unfortunately, it would soon cease to exist.

As time passed minute by minute, finally, the night sky suddenly lit up.

Lin Yu got up excitedly and stared wide - eyed.

The pitch - black night sky suddenly brightened. Countless bright star points dragged long tails,(across the sky) and headed towards the earth. Lin Yu looked out and saw wave after wave of starlight scattered, and the whole world lit up like daytime.

"Here it comes!"

Before long, countless rays of light came into view and gradually enlarged.

Lin Yu was extremely excited. He saw that a lot of starlight was falling towards the direction of Xiyun Mountain.

"Over there!"

As the starlight approached, Lin Yu kept staring at the largest light cluster flying over. The light cluster flew over his head and fell towards a distant hill. Lin Yu quickly got up and ran in that direction. Fortunately, it wasn't too far away.

Half an hour later, he saw the bright light in the bushes ahead. Around it, there were four or five other light clusters.

Lin Yu rushed over.

Looking at the light in front of him, he couldn't hide his excitement on his face.

Inside the light cluster, there was a small porcelain bottle. A blazing breath rushed towards him even through the bottle. Without thinking much, Lin Yu reached into the light cluster and grabbed the porcelain bottle. "So hot!"

A strong sense of burning came from his hand.

Lin Yu quickly took out the prepared towel from his backpack, wrapped the porcelain bottle, and put it in the backpack.

At this point, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

However, everything was not over yet.

God knew how many rare treasures had fallen on the entire Xiyun Mountain at this moment. All of them were wrapped in light, like guiding lights. But as time passed, these lights would gradually dim. An hour later, they would all disappear.

The rare treasures inside would all fall to the ground. Some would seep into the ground, and some would be absorbed by animals and plants, causing them to mutate.

This was the evolution of all species!

Lin Yu rushed towards those light clusters that had dimmed a lot. Without time to check, he took the things inside and put them directly into his backpack.

Then he moved on to the next one.

He had to collect as many of these treasures as possible within half an hour.

—— At this time, in the hospital, Duan Yang, who was wrapped up like a mummy, kept vomiting.

"Doctor, doctor…"

"Judging from these symptoms, it looks a bit like poisoning…"

In a flurry of activity, Duan Yang was sent into the examination room.
