321: Chapter 321 The Worst Chosen One

"Not good, Baoer has actually fallen!"

Wanjie Pavilion Grand Elder Jin Bubai's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed endless terror and disbelief.

His originally steady voice was trembling violently at this moment: "But fortunately, a sliver of his true spirit Origin still remains. We must be faster!"

Before he finished speaking, the light around his body suddenly flashed, and his speed increased sharply, galloping forward like a bolt of lightning.

The two Source Emperors beside Jin Bubai also showed looks of horror upon seeing this.

After glancing at each other, they didn't dare to hesitate at all, quickly circulating the Source Power in their bodies to push their speed to the limit, closely following Jin Bubai as they rushed forward.

At this time, inside that mysterious Barrier, the atmosphere was exceptionally tense and oppressive.

Only the last three Source Kings remained, standing back to back, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

These three were the follower King Ning and two of Jin Qianbao's Source King Realm confidants.

In addition, there were four Source Realm youths on the field; counting the one who had already left, five Source Realm experts had ultimately managed to survive this time.

"Senior, we have followed your instructions and successfully killed Wanjie Pavilion's Prodigy Jin Qianbao. Now that the task is complete, I wonder if Senior could be merciful and let us leave safely?"

King Ning suppressed the fear in his heart, respectfully cupped his hands toward the outside of the Barrier, and asked cautiously.

The two Source Kings and four Source Realm youths around him also showed strong expectation, all looking toward Cao Yang, who was sitting on the Heavenly Emperor Chair high in the sky outside the Barrier.

Cao Yang slowly stood up from the high-and-mighty Heavenly Emperor Chair that shimmered with mysterious light. His movements were elegant and calm, as if the entire world trembled slightly with his rising.

"Since you have fulfilled my requirements, then this Emperor will naturally keep his promise."

Cao Yang's voice was as loud as a great bell, echoing throughout the vast Wan Jie Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his arm casually, and an invisible force spread out rapidly like ripples.

In an instant, the incredibly sturdy Barrier in front of King Ning and the others seemed to be brushed by a light breeze, vanishing without a trace.

At the same time, the cultivation base Seal imposed on them also quietly melted away, like snow meeting the warm sun.

"Thank you, Senior, for your great kindness!"

King Ning and the others showed joy, and the heavy stone hanging in their hearts finally fell.

They didn't dare to delay for a moment, turning into streaks of light and flying away from the Wan Jie Chamber of Commerce at their fastest speed.

Everyone wished they had an extra pair of wings to escape this Myriad Realms Continent, which was about to be filled with the unknown and danger, as quickly as possible.

However, just after King Ning and the others left, the corners of Cao Yang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

He waved his hand gently, and a powerful suction suddenly erupted.

King Yun's corpse jerked violently, and then a strand of crystal-clear light points drifted out of his body.

Like a meteor flashing in the night sky, it flew straight into the palm of Cao Yang's hand.

"Hmph, Eldest Young Master Jin, if I really let you escape, then who would I ask for my sign-in counts?"

Cao Yang frowned slightly, a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

With that, he clenched his fist tightly, grasping that speck of light in his palm.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, an extremely shrill scream echoed through the skies, deafening.

The cry seemed to come from the depths of Hell, making one's hair stand on end.

It turned out that at the moment Cao Yang clenched his fist, Jin Qianbao's last sliver of true spirit Origin had already turned to ashes, and from then on, there was no possibility of being reborn into Reincarnation.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master, for successfully killing the Child of Destiny—Jin Qianbao. You have obtained 3 million sign-in counts as a result!"

The sudden System notification made Cao Yang startle slightly.

Hmm?

What's going on?

Cao Yang couldn't help but frown, asking the System in his heart with a face full of doubt: "System, as far as I know, this Jin Qianbao isn't some ordinary character; he is the Child of Destiny of the Great Universe!

But why did I only get such a small amount of sign-in counts this time? Back when I was on my way here, the Children of Destiny from Other Universes I killed, even the weakest ones, would give at least five million sign-in counts!

And this Jin Qianbao had a Source King Realm cultivation base after all; no matter what, it shouldn't be just a mere three million, right?"

Facing Cao Yang's rapid-fire questions, the System quickly provided an explanation: "Ding! Master, the situation is actually like this.

Originally, the destiny of this Great Universe should have belonged to someone else. However, someone interfered in secret, causing the destiny to shift, which is why this Jin Qianbao became the so-called 'Child of Destiny.'

But in reality, he is not the one truly chosen by destiny."

After hearing the System's words, Cao Yang nodded thoughtfully and then asked further: "Oh? So that's how it is... Then, could the fellow who interfered with this Great Universe's destiny be that mysterious Guardian of the River of Time from before?"

"Ding! Master is indeed wise, sagacious, and insightful! Yes, it was precisely this person who disrupted the destiny order of the Great Universe."

The System Loli praised Cao Yang in a sweet voice.

"Then if I kill that Guardian of the River of Time, will the chaos consciousness actually step in to interfere? Will it lend a hand to help that Guardian of the River of Time?"

Cao Yang frowned and asked again with a solemn expression.

Actually, this question had been lingering in his heart for a long time; he just hadn't had a suitable opportunity to ask.

After all, if the chaos consciousness really were to intervene, then his desire to successfully kill the Guardian of the River of Time would be an almost impossible task.

But if the chaos consciousness remained indifferent, then with his current strength and methods, resolving the opponent would not be difficult.

Recalling that life-and-death struggle with the Guardian of the River of Time, Cao Yang still felt a lingering fear.

If it hadn't been for his luck back then, he probably would have long ago become a dead soul under the other party's hand.

So this time, he absolutely cannot repeat the same mistake; he must first consider all possible situations clearly.

Just then, the System Loli's crisp and pleasant voice rang out: "Ding! Master, if people from Other Universes, or beings from our own Universe, take the initiative to attack the Guardian of the River of Time, as well as those fellows who deliberately disrupt the normal order of the River of Time...

The Guardian of the River of Time has the right to borrow the power bestowed upon him by the chaos consciousness.

However, as for exactly how much of the chaos consciousness's power can be borrowed, that varies for the Guardian of the River of Time in different Great Universes."

"Does this mean that if the Guardian of the River of Time takes the initiative to attack me first, he will no longer be able to borrow that mysterious and powerful chaos consciousness power?"

Cao Yang thought to himself, and an indescribable wave of expectation and excitement surged in his heart.

After all, facing such a powerful enemy, any possible advantage appeared crucial.

One should know that Cao Yang is not a visitor from another universe, but an existence born in response to the destiny within this vast and boundless Great Universe.

His roots are deeply planted here, closely linked with the fate of this Universe.

Just then, a crisp voice rang in his mind: "Ding! Master, your understanding is completely correct; it is exactly so!"

Hearing this affirmative answer, Cao Yang's eyes became increasingly firm.

After some careful consideration, Cao Yang realized that there seemed to be only two paths to defeating the Guardian of the River of Time at present.

The first is to find a way to lure the Guardian of the River of Time into taking the initiative to attack him.

Once he loses the blessing of the chaos consciousness, his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced, and at that time, perhaps a chance to defeat the enemy can be found.

The second is to wait patiently for himself to successfully break through to the Chaos Realm.

At that time, he can return to his old place, leading the incomparably powerful Heavenly Emperor Hall.

Relying on the terrifying power of the Invincible Domain, he could suppress and obliterate the Guardian of the River of Time in one fell swoop.
