Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

East Sea.

In Elder Bai’s palace.

"Congratulations on your Evil Corpse’s successful Dao attainment, fellow Daoist!"

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly a prodigy. We have lived for so many years in vain, but we are not even one-tenth of your worth."

...

...

After settling the Peacock Great Ming King, many Tier Two Peak experts present all congratulated Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan’s Evil Corpse successfully attaining Dao was a joyful event for Lin Yuan.

No matter whether the people present were happy or not, the formalities had to be observed.

Although Lin Yuan was not as brutal as the World Honored, if he gave them the cold shoulder, it wouldn’t be pleasant for them.

Therefore, everyone could only force a smile to congratulate Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was not foolish; he understood how to read people.

Lin Yuan clearly saw that among those who came to congratulate him, the vast majority were only smiling superficially, forcing themselves to thank him.

Only a very few were genuinely happy for his Dao attainment.

Most of those few were people of dull aptitude who knew they had no chance of attaining Dao in this lifetime.

For example, the Black Bear Spirit.

Another group included Elder Bai and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, who genuinely cared for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan also understood the reasons for others’ unhappiness.

They were members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance.

Not the Lin Yuan Dao Attainment Alliance.

Defeating the World Honored, everyone was certainly happy.

But you, Lin Yuan, suddenly attained Dao without a word; what is this?

Moreover, attaining Dao is Tier One, unique.

There is only one spot, only one person can attain Dao.

Initially, after defeating the World Honored, everyone had a sliver of hope of attaining Dao.

Now great, the World Honored was defeated, but the opportunity smoothly passed to Lin Yuan.

You directly attained Dao, what about our hopes?

Before defeating the World Honored, we had no hope of Dao attainment.

After defeating the World Honored, we still have no hope of Dao attainment.

If this is the case, wasn’t defeating the World Honored in vain?

Of course, Lin Yuan attaining Dao and the World Honored attaining Dao, for them, the only difference was that Lin Yuan was relatively mild.

Whereas the World Honored acted extremely cruelly, even brutally.

With Lin Yuan’s Dao attainment, at least their survival was not threatened.

If the World Honored attained Dao, they all would likely become his puppets.

Lin Yuan’s Dao attainment was somewhat better than the World Honored’s but did not mean they wished for Lin Yuan to attain Dao.

For members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance, the best outcome would be defeating the World Honored and then leaving this opportunity for everyone to pursue.

Now, with Lin Yuan silently taking the opportunity, it was naturally uncomfortable for some people.

Lin Yuan naturally knew that some people were certainly pained inside.

This sole path being blocked, even Lin Yuan himself would feel discontent.

After all, for this battle, so many died, so much was sacrificed, yet Lin Yuan took all the benefits?

This was like a group starting a business together, and come year-end profit sharing, while the other shareholders saw none, Lin Yuan took all the money and ran.

Today Lin Yuan gathered them to clarify this issue.

If everyone didn’t remove the thorns in their hearts today, there might be an anti-Lin Yuan alliance tomorrow.

If everyone removed the thorns in their hearts, they could unite and achieve even greater things.

Listening to the flattery and congratulations around him, Lin Yuan raised his hand to stop them, saying, "This time, defeating the World Honored is not my achievement alone, but everyone’s achievement."

"My Evil Corpse’s Dao attainment was indeed at everyone’s expense, I acknowledge this."

Lin Yuan voicing this openly made everyone feel a bit more at ease.

"We are family, there’s no need to be upset over this."

"You, Lin Yuan, have the ability to attain Dao, we are also happy, and willing to see you attain Dao."

"But why did you attain Dao without a word, hiding it from us?"

"Or, if you had attained Dao earlier, maybe not so many brothers would have died at the World Honored’s hands!"

...

...

Members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance spoke one after another.

Clearly, these words still carried some blame towards Lin Yuan.

However, their criticism was not entirely without basis.

Lin Yuan did keep the Dao attainment a secret.

From when the preparation started to when Lin Yuan’s Evil Corpse succeeded in attaining Dao, only Lin Yuan and the principal knew.

Because Lin Yuan’s Dao attainment wasn’t based on actual skill.

But rather, he seized the opportunity from the World Honored, forcefully attaining Dao.

This needed a lot of calculations, one misstep, and everything would fall apart.

Lin Yuan didn’t dare leak any information; if one part went wrong, all efforts would be in vain.

Then, not only would the principal’s death be in vain, if the World Honored succeeded, everyone would become his puppets.

Regarding the Dao attainment, Lin Yuan didn’t tell even the most trusted Elder Bai, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, or his father-in-law, the Peacock Great Ming King, let alone these Anti-Buddha Alliance members.

As for suggesting that Lin Yuan could attain Dao earlier, to save lives?

Attain earlier?

Impossible!

Lin Yuan’s Dao attainment was by intercepting the World Honored’s opportunity; when he could attain depended on when the World Honored could attain.

The whole plan was meticulously designed by the principal; every sacrifice was unavoidable.

In the principal’s design, they had to do specific things at specific times.

No matter how many died, the planned matters had to be completed.

No matter how many sacrifices, they had to be completed.

Otherwise, all efforts would be wasted.

If he could reduce the casualties, then Lin Yuan most wouldn’t want to see the principal die.

The principal’s death was Lin Yuan’s lifelong regret.

The principal sacrificed himself to make Lin Yuan successful.

The World Honored had been defeated, turned into two Dao Fruits.

Now, informing the Anti-Buddha Alliance of the whole plan would not affect the general situation anymore.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan didn’t conceal it any longer; he narrated the course of events like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

After hearing Lin Yuan’s words, they finally realized the plan to defeat the World Honored involved so much they didn’t know, so many calculations and strategies.

If things were as Lin Yuan said, then keeping his Dao attainment a secret was genuinely necessary.

After all, too many people, too many mouths.

Once such a matter spread, Lin Yuan might not be able to attain Dao, and they might not be able to defeat the World Honored.

If today they lost instead of the World Honored.

Then it wouldn’t be about Dao attainment, but becoming the World Honored’s puppets!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but shudder with fear.
