Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 708: A World of Disappointment

At this moment, Zhong Cuo was heavily injured once again, with no chance to escape.

"No..."

Facing Brother Cheng’s relentless pursuit, this Child of the Plane finally felt the danger of losing his life for the first time.

The previous calmness had long vanished.

"No, you can’t kill me!"

"If you kill me, you’ll regret it!"

Brother Cheng had a mocking expression, what nonsense are you spouting?

Anyone whom he decides to kill has never been spared.

Another sword strike fell, and Zhong Cuo, exhausted from fleeing, appeared panicked and disheveled.

"I am one with the World Origin of the Profound Realm, sharing its fate in glory and in peril!"

"If you kill me, you kill the World Origin of the Profound Realm!"

These words actually made Brother Cheng pause slightly.

"What do you mean?"

He had never seen this so-called World Origin, more so, it existed only in imagination.

He never thought this thing could be killed.

Zhong Cuo breathed heavily, "The World Origin is linked with me. If I am killed, this Profound Realm will be completely destroyed, and then all living beings in this world will perish!"

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Brother Cheng felt dumbfounded.

So, this guy really can’t be killed?

If he dies, neither Xin Ling nor Bai Luozhen, nor Li Hanyu or Zhongli Qiao, nor any Xuan Race People would escape demise.

Isn’t the World Origin of the Profound Realm foolish?

To bond deeply with such a person.

"Of course, you can go ahead and try!"

Thinking Brother Cheng had stopped, Zhong Cuo smugly erupted in laughter.

"For the sake of the Profound Realm, not only can you not kill me, but you also have to protect me well!"

His eyes filled with malice and hatred: "Otherwise, one day when I’m in a bad mood, I might choose to commit suicide, and at that time, drag everyone down with me!"

"Now, return everything to me!"

"I command you to return it to me, otherwise I’ll commit suicide immediately!"

Brother Cheng looked at him as if seeing a fool, was this guy really using the entire Profound Realm to threaten him?

Is this a joke?

Did he really think he would be scared by this?

He unhesitatingly clicked on the panel, selecting the third deprivation button - relationship deprivation.

Then, in the next moment, Zhong Cuo’s connections with all targets were temporarily severed.

Whether it was with his ’Personal Grandmaster’ or with the World Origin of the Profound Realm, all became unrelated.

The effect of relationship deprivation lasts only 3 minutes.

Even everyone in the entire Profound Realm would temporarily forget him during these 3 minutes.

They would not know a person named Zhong Cuo ever existed in the world.

His existence would be temporarily erased for 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes, everything would be restored.

Zhong Cuo immediately realized the transformation - he was no longer related to the World Origin.

"What did you do?"

"This is impossible, impossible..."

"I made a pact with the World Origin of the Profound Realm five hundred million years ago, it absolutely can’t be destroyed..."

These words actually surprised Brother Cheng a bit.

Originally, he thought Zhong Cuo recently obtained those two Profound Power Seeds, and thus formed a relationship with the World Origin, but unexpectedly it started five hundred million years ago?

Five hundred million years ago, wasn’t he just starting out?

Back then, he already received the favor of the World Origin?

No matter, Brother Cheng was not interested in his story.

"Don’t you want to die? Go ahead, commit suicide, hurry up!"

Zhong Cuo’s face was both desperate and awkward.

How could he truly want to die?

Realizing he couldn’t threaten Jiang Cheng, he could only retreat step by step.

Brother Cheng swung his sword with malicious intent, "What’s wrong? Unable to bring yourself to die? Afraid of pain?"

"Well, it looks like I need to help you then!"

Zhong Cuo was furious yet had no rebuttal.

He suddenly sprang into the air, trying to escape.

"Can you escape?"

Brother Cheng coldly laughed, swiftly intercepting him.

Zhong Cuo kept fleeing, and Brother Cheng directly thrust his sword!

Zhong Cuo, bleeding profusely, roared fiercely, "You forced me!"

In the next moment, he suddenly pointed towards the empty space.

Crack!

That piece of space suddenly formed a hole, like an ice surface being punctured.

Soon, large cracks began to spread.

Crash...

A huge and sinister rift appeared out of nowhere in the Void of the Sixth Layer.

On the other side of the rift, countless Shadow Race members could be seen howling as they flew over.

"Hahahaha..."

Zhong Cuo laughed fiercely, appearing insane.

"If you want to kill me, then you go die yourself!"

This rift led directly to the core lair of the Shadow Race, where the elite were.

There were too many, even he couldn’t eliminate them.

Previously, he always tried ways to drive them back to the Seventh Layer.

But this time, he actively broke the seal of the Sixth Layer and brought them all back.

For the Profound Realm, this would be a catastrophic, world-ending disaster.

"Sigh..."

At this moment, everyone heard a low sigh.

That sigh seemed to come from themselves, yet they clearly knew they hadn’t uttered a sound.

It was the World Origin of the Profound Realm’s sigh.

Since the Shadow Race’s invasion, the entire Profound Realm had been facing the threat of destruction.

The Shadow Race feeds on the Rules of Heaven and Earth, creating blank spaces out of nothing, causing the cycle of Heavenly Dao to gradually become unsustainable.

For a world, this is an extremely dangerous situation.

However, the World Origin of the Profound Realm has no means of direct attack, nor does it have a physical form.

It can only resort to using others.

Five hundred million years ago, it chose a young boy.

That boy not only had incredibly good fortune but also once made a grand vow—to annihilate the Shadow Race completely.

From that day, the World Origin formed a slight connection with him, making his fortune even more intense.

That boy did not disappoint.

Years later, he grew stronger.

Under the protection of the World Origin, he had special defensive abilities that other Xuan Race People lacked, even the Shadow Race couldn’t directly attack him.

With extraordinary combat abilities, he truly cleared the Shadow Race on the upper five layers.

Even though he hadn’t completely wiped out the Shadow Race, only driving them back, it greatly relieved the crisis of the Profound Realm.

And when he merged with three Profound Power Seeds, the World Origin finally officially recognized him, allowing him to act as its external avatar.

The battle between him and Jiang Cheng, the World Origin of the Profound Realm relentlessly continued to support him.

Even though Jiang Cheng appeared more monstrous, even though Jiang Cheng’s combat power was stronger, the World Origin did not change its stance.

Because Jiang Cheng was essentially an ’Otherworldly Evil Demon.’

To this world, he was equally a foreign ’invader.’

After being forcibly severed by the system, it was still waiting to reconnect with Zhong Cuo to assist him in defeating this ’invader.’

However, at this moment...

When Zhong Cuo broke the defense seal of the Sixth Layer and willingly allowed the strongest batch of Shadow Race members to enter, it felt disappointment.

That person had abandoned his former vow.

To survive, he could abandon anyone, including the entire Profound Realm.

It finally realized it had chosen the wrong person.

Unfortunately, everything seemed already too late.

The Shadow Race army had already invaded.

Those overwhelming shadows were so fast and eerie, not emitting any powerful aura, yet they sent a chill down one’s spine.
