208: System layout

After executing the last of the white-eyed wolf group, Shen Lian finally resolved the obsession left by his predecessor, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease.

He sat cross-legged on the coast and meditated for three full days and nights, preparing for the final step after his injuries had recovered by 70%.

"Bitches, wake up and face your own judgment!"

The moment the great dao human sovereign cauldron unfolded, the seven Souls inside immediately let out agonizing screams.

Lu Qinghuan: "Shen Lian, may you die a horrible death! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

Liu Yixue: "Shen Lian, don't get complacent! I'll be waiting for you on the Yellow Springs road!"

Su Yuheng: "Shen Lian, how cruel you are! How dare you actually lay a hand on me? I will never forgive you in this lifetime!"

Mu Yaoguang: "In my heart, you are just an insignificant simp!"

Nangong Li: "Do you think you've won? I will wait for your arrival in the Nine Springs! Dream on if you want me to regret this!"

Xu Feifei: "Why? Why are you treating me like this? Can't you just obey me?!"

Song Xiangyun: "Shen Lian, if there is a next life, I will kill you immediately and absolutely won't give you any chance to rise again."

The seven Souls were filled with resentment, showing no sign of regret, and continuously cursed Shen Lian.

However, Shen Lian's heart was calm as still water at this moment; he didn't care about the dead at all.

"Curse away, curse to your heart's content. Listening to the final barking of trash is also a pleasant enjoyment.

Soon, your Souls will be tempered by the Great Dao True Fire until they are Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

"Next life? Naive. You no longer have a future life or a next life. Nothingness is your final destination."

"I told you that only by making you experience the cruelest punishment in the world can I offset the hatred I held for you all these years."

"Endure it well. The Great Dao True Fire inside the human emperor cauldron will completely erase your past. Hahaha..."

The next moment, Shen Lian activated the human emperor cauldron without hesitation.

"Ah—"

Immediately, inhuman screams and wails erupted from the human emperor cauldron, instantly drowning out the curses.

Tempered by the Great Dao True Fire, the seven base Souls were gradually incinerated completely.

Inside the human emperor cauldron, one breath equaled sixty years of rotation. A moment later, the chaotic wailing gradually subsided, leaving only the grinding sound of the human emperor cauldron echoing faintly.

As an azure Immortal Pill appeared in his hand, Shen Lian's state of mind was unprecedentedly calm.

Since arriving in this world, a full four months had passed, and he had finally succeeded in eliminating all the resentment left by his predecessor.

Next, he could single-mindedly pursue the Dao.

"Hahahaha—"

Just then, a familiar laugh echoed in Shen Lian's mind.

The moment he turned around, Shen Lian found himself in a space where all four walls were white.

And standing before him was the true nemesis who had been entangled with Shen Lian for ninety-nine lifetimes—

The System.

"You really aren't dead!"

"Hahaha, host, your methods are truly ruthless. To exterminate these seven bitches so quickly, this System is very comforted."

Shen Lian slightly curled his lips: "Then, is it time for you and me to settle the final score?"

"host, the current you is simply not my opponent. I advise you not to act rashly,

Moreover, this System is not looking for a fight today, but intends to send you an Opportunity."

Shen Lian snorted coldly: "What trickery are you planning this time? Just show me what you've got."

"host, you should know that everything this System says is genuine."

The System appeared lightly behind Shen Lian.

"host, do you think the reason you were able to easily kill these seven bitches without being pursued by the forces behind them is because your Luck is prosperous?"

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

The System chuckled: "That's because this System was secretly laying out a plan to help you."

"Help me with what?"

"Naturally, it was to use your hand to eliminate these seven bitches."

Shen Lian's pupils contracted: "Explain yourself clearly."

"Jie jiejie—"

The System let out a strange laugh.

"It's fine to tell you now. This System binding you back then was purely out of necessity. After all, in the eyes of this System, you held no value whatsoever.

I originally intended to wait until you finished one lifetime, then drain your Soul and refine you into a walking corpse.

I just didn't expect that you could even defeat the Heavenly Dao. That truly exceeded my expectations."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Don't worry, host. Since it seems you already know about Shen Zhao's existence, it's fine to tell you. In fact, my target has always been Shen Zhao from the beginning.

The Origin of the Great Dao on his body is what I truly crave, and you are merely an accident born by chance."

"Hahaha."

Shen Lang burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"Regarding the deeds between you and Shen Zhao, all I can say is that your stupidity is pitiful!"

The System's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"host, no matter what, you and I have coexisted for ninety-nine lifetimes, and I can't bear to kill you.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have let a base Soul occupy your refined Physical Body; I would have made you turn to ashes before you even woke up."

Shen Lian closed his eyes and pondered for a long while, then suddenly said: "So all of this was done deliberately by you?"

"I know your temper too well. When you found out that a simp used your body to do countless unreasonable things, you would definitely seek frenzied revenge.

And during this time, you indeed lived up to my expectations, shaking the Primordial Continent into turmoil. Of course, most importantly, you successfully killed these seven bitches,

Furthermore, the resentment they emitted before death was extremely dense. With this, my next plan can be smoothly implemented. I truly thank you."

Shen Lian: "What exactly are you going to do?"

"Although these seven bitches are dead, their dying resentment towards you has not diminished in the slightest, showing no sign of repentance.

And I am going to use the residual resentment left by these seven people after their death to make this world even crazier."

"Hahaha!"

Shen Lian laughed.

"Do you think I care whether this world goes crazy? If you think that, you're wrong. The crazier this world becomes, the more it will ignite my endless Battle Intent."

The System smiled: "Whether you care or not is irrelevant to me. However, this resentment, falling into my hands, can help me achieve the position of Great Dao Dominator that I have long dreamed of."

Shen Lian squinted: "You? You dare aspire to be the Great Dao Dominator?"

"Why, is that impossible? Tens of thousands of years ago, I was only one step away from succeeding..."

"One step away means you failed. Don't rush to glorify yourself. Moreover, with me here, you are destined not to become the Great Dao Dominator.

Even if you become a Dominator, I will personally destroy your Dominator Dao completely!

Don't doubt it. You should know that if I set my mind to this idea, I will achieve it at all costs."

"Hahahaha, you truly are the familiar host. This System is truly fortunate to have worked with you for ninety-nine lifetimes.

Therefore, please continue to strive. The situation you are about to face will definitely make you feel an unprecedented excitement."

As soon as the voice fell silent, Shen Lian's Divine Sense cleared, and he returned to reality.

"What does this mean?"

Just as Shen Lian began to feel confused, he suddenly sensed an extremely restless atmosphere filling the air.

"This feeling, like a Catastrophe is approaching, this is..."

...In the Ice and Snow Sect's Back Mountain Forbidden Ground, deep within the Snow Vein, the ice phoenix statue still stood tall.

Suddenly, several streams of Resentment Power descended from the sky, charging directly toward the Ice Phoenix sculpture.

Boom—

With a loud bang, the Resentment Power directly struck the Barrier ten miles away, shaking the Ice Region for ten thousand miles around.

"Jie—"

The sleeping Ice Phoenix seemed to awaken, letting out an extremely shrill scream.

Instantly, the heavens and earth darkened, and Evil Clouds surged.

A Great Catastrophe is about to descend!
