While Adrian''s group is fetching the Prophet of Life, two other individuals are currently searching for something. The two individuals are none other than Hou Yiwei and Eldritch. They are currently looking for the God ying Weapons.


    The yers might not know this but there are only four God ying Weapons in the whole games. Items could grow to rival these weapons, but those weapons cannot replicate the bonus damage done to godlike beings. The effect even affects demigods which is why they tried to bury or seal any information regarding them.


    The people might not know this because the demigods buried the information, but these four weapons are also seals. These four weapons are characterized by a sword, a bow, a spear, and a staff. Each weapon sealed what other call a cmity that even demigods fear.


    The weird thing about these four cmities is that they are naturally urring so even the gods do not like them. These cmities could only be described as powers that can affect the will of man. These cmities cannot be controlled that even the gods sealed them using the four God ying Weapons that the Insurgence created.


    People believed that the God ying Weapons were created by the God of Crafts but that is not the case. The God ying Weapons were created by the will of mortals that felt the gods were unjustified. Some gods were arrogant as they did not care of the lives of mortals which prompted the mortals to stage a rebellion.


    The rebellion is short lived as someone from the camp betrayed them. The betrayer was handsomely rewarded while those who wished to rebel became punished as their souls are torn to pieces. The God of Death and Goddess of Life or gods that are caring were not present at that time, so the punishment are carried out by a minority of the arrogant gods.


    The souls of the mortals that nned a rebellion were scattered in the air while the God ying Weapons were sealed by the arrogant gods. The arrogant gods thought they themselves could wield these weapons, but they get hurt just by touching them.


    They decided to seal the fourpleted weapons without some of the gods knowing. A few yearster, the invasion of the dark gods began. The gods who sealed the go ying weapons gave them to warriors they could trust.


    The warriors managed to wield the weapons but at the cost their lives because the weapons are far stronger than they imagined. The God ying Weapons also sensed the person''s will to trample on the gods and strive to seed without divine intervention. Basically, the God ying Weapons formed egos and those egos choose the master they serve.


    Despite the hate for the gods that the egos of the God ying Weapons possessed, the egos hated the invading dark gods more. The God ying Weapons were created to protect mortals from the abuse of the gods which is why the egos agreed to deal with the dark gods.


    The egos of the God ying Weapons chose to be wielded by great mortals tobat the dark gods but that does not mean their hate for the arrogant gods of Pandemonium diminished. As if resonating with the emotion of the egos, the wielders of the god ying weapons resonated with the hatreding out of them.


    The wielders managed to survive through the war with the dark gods, but the cost is the lives of mortals. The gods that participated barely had any casualty and the gods that died were the decent ones that the egos do not bore resentment.


    As if afraid that the wielders of the god ying would turn upon them, the arrogant gods ughtered the four wielders of the weapons. The four wielders did not even think of killing the gods because of theirst shred of respect. Despite their fear, the arrogant gods still let them wield the weapons which is why they decided to give them another chance but that was a mistake.


    Even the egos got pacified a bit, but the betrayal became thest straw. The four souls of the wielders of the god ying weapons awakened into something different after fusing with the lingering shredded souls of the mortals that created the weapons. They became the four cmities that gued the world.


    The four wielders also turned their back upon the mortals as they did not even question the gods when they judge them. The mortals just cowered and even had greed in their eyes for the weapons. The four-wielder transformed into four horsemen that symbolized the end of gods once they cover the world with their power.


    The transformation of the four could be called a coincidence. The energy they gave off and the energy that the souls of the mortals that rebelled against the gods awakened the will of the universe. They were transformed into being that rivaled even the gods despite not being gods themselves. They were referred to as the four cmities.


    "We shall circle the world. Once we reconvene together again, the age of gods shall finish and the age of man reborn with just their own fate will be born." The four horsemen stated as they darted of in four directions which were north, east, west, and south.


    The arrogant gods feared what they said as it sounded like the universe itself willed for the gods to perish. The arrogant gods managed to persuade the other gods that these four came to ughter them and the mortals. The gods were already weak at the time, but they needed to protect thest bit of mortals left.


    The Asmodians were no more which means the gods had to move themselves, but the twin gods already erected the divine barrier. They have limited time to defeat the four horsemen, so they only decide to seal them. The arrogant gods wanted them eliminated because they might spill their misdeeds but decided to go with it.


    The gods managed to seal the four horsemen but their god ying weapons were not sealed with them. The god ying weapons are instead utilized by the gods as another seal to stop the echoing emotion from the orbs that sealed the four horsemen.


    The gods scattered them in four different locations and sealed them in secret areas. The areas might be secret but the details about the weapons are not. The gods left the mortal ne and ascended to the divine realm but the long-lived races that survived could still remember everything well.


    The information is not entirely urate because even memories get fuzzy after a hundred years. The information that the elder dragons could only recall is a god ying weapon was used in the war with the dark gods. They did not know that the god ying weapons are in fact one of the seals for the four horsemen.


    Hou Yiwei wants to find the weapon because he wants the recognition of killing a dark god. Eldritch wants the God ying Weapon to threaten the other gods to submission or just outright kill them. The yers did not know that them searching for the god ying weapons will lead them to another situation that might be much worse than the dark god in the fallen imperial capital.


    The first seal has already been unleashed as a yer has already attained the God ying Weapon that sealed the First Horseman of the Apocalypse. The yer might have attained it, but she was just ordered by an NPC to fetch it which means the current owner is an NPC. This is the reason why there was no world message that stated that a God yer has descended.


    The sealed god ying weapons look no different from an antique item and needs the use to be fully connected with it to awaken it. The first god ying weapon discovered is a staff that looked like a bnce scale. For the yer that obtained it, it looked like some antique decoration which does not exude the radiance of a god ying weapon.


    The same could be said to the weapon before Hou Yiwei. He has found clues of the god ying weapons that pointed him to the eastern continent. His trip to the western continent is rather a waste of time but he gained increasebat abilities, so he did not view it as a total waste.


    "Finally, after days of searching, I finally have the God ying Weapon before me." Hou Yiwei stated as he gazed upon a bow that seemed to be crumbled with a slight tap.


    He found the God ying Weapon hidden in aplex cave behind a waterfall where it is enshrined. He thought it is enshrined but reality is different. The God ying Weapon is hidden so that no one could find it. Hou Yiwei even defeated a Water Spirit Serpent just to reach his destination.


    Greed and thirst for power filled his head as he reached out for the antique looking bow. He could feel that the bow is resonating with him.


    [Do you really wish to unseal this weapon?]


    "Yes" Hou Yiwei answered without care of the consequence.


    As soon as he grabbed the bow, a white light shot out from the shrine. A world message is then delivered to everyone.


    [The Second Horseman of the Apocalypse has been released.]
