Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

Shuang Yehong's right hand was grabbed by Jiang Chan. Startled, she was about to resist when she felt a strange force surge into her body through Jiang Chan's hand.

moment.

He felt his life force rapidly slipping away.

"What the hell are you?" Shuangye Hong shouted in terror.

He tried to pull his hand away, but found that he couldn't budge it no matter what he did, and his strength was waning.

"Go to hell!"

He roared wildly, and with his other hand, he gathered all his magical power, condensing it into a terrifying energy wave, which he slammed towards Jiang Chan.

but--

Jiang Chan was right in front of him, but his hand could hardly touch her, as if separated by the passage of time.

Finally, after using all his strength, he managed to touch the hem of Jiang Chan's clothes, but the energy ball in his hand had already dissipated.

I glanced at my hands; they had become like an old person's hands.

"I see--"

"This is the power of time; you...you have grasped time!!"

By the end, Shuang Yehong's voice was hoarse, sounding like that of an old man; the life force within him had almost completely dissipated.

"Hahaha! In this world... there are actually... people who can control time!"

"How could such a monster as you exist in the eternal daylight?"

"I'm not reconciled!"

After Shuangyehong roared out these words with all his might, his entire body was instantly obliterated by the power of time, turning into ashes that drifted away with the wind.

After Jiang Chan finished doing all this, she clapped her hands as if she had done something insignificant, her expression calm.

She put the hood of her cloak back on, covering her white hair.

"Big brother, I'm here."

Jiang Chan murmured to herself and walked forward again, disappearing into the dense forest.

In this place, almost all of the forty or fifty experts from Frostleaf Tower, along with the S-rank guild leader, were killed. Only a man named "Dazhuang" managed to escape with his life.

At this moment, Dazhuang looked at the old man's corpses scattered on the ground, his scalp tingling and his body turning cold.

Who would have thought that such an ordinary twelve or thirteen-year-old girl would actually possess the power of time?

They easily wiped out such a powerful guild as Frostleaf Tower.

"fortunately……"

Da Zhuang felt somewhat fortunate.

If he hadn't done those kind deeds for the little girl in the beginning, he probably would have ended up the same way.

"Daughter, are you protecting your father?"

Dazhuang clutched a pendant around his neck, muttering to himself, tears welling in his eyes.

If he hadn't thought of his daughter when he saw Jiang Chan, he might not have shown kindness and wouldn't have been able to save his life.

Everything is preordained!

……

In another direction.

The evolved members of the Twilight Echoes Guild waited quietly.

This is also a powerful guild, and its leader, Twilight, is a true S-rank powerhouse.

Their target is the Thunder Squad of Eternal Day.

Just as everyone closed their eyes to rest, a dark aura slowly drifted over.

"I've detected a powerful aura ahead, which is perfect for me to become my new host." The black aura was somewhat excited.

It rushed quickly in that direction.

"Hehehe, you're the one!"

Soon, it saw the twilight with its eyes closed on the tree branch.

"What is it?"

As if sensing something, Huang Hun felt as if he was being watched by something, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a cloud of black mist.

By the time he noticed, he was already too close. Before he could react, the black energy instantly seeped into his forehead.

Huang Hun got goosebumps all over his body. He didn't know what it was and felt a little scared.

The fact that even an S-class powerhouse like him could be caught off guard and fall victim to such a trap must mean that this person is no ordinary individual.

In the instant he was pondering.

A mechanical voice rang in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have met the binding requirements for the Invincible Life System!]

Huang Hun turned to his subordinates and asked, "Did any of you hear anything?"

"What was that sound?"

"President, we didn't hear anything!"

He was somewhat bewildered by his subordinate's response.

"Could it be that he was too nervous in preparation for dealing with the Thunder Team and was hallucinating?" Dusk shook his head.

What just happened must have been a hallucination.

At this moment, the black energy sensed all of this in his mind and cursed inwardly, "Could it be another idiot?"

It steadied itself and spoke again in the twilight's mind in a mechanical voice.

[Host, this is not an illusion. This system has determined that you are a true dragon, one in a million, and have been specially chosen as our host.]

The mechanical voice sounded again, and Huang Hun was certain that he hadn't misheard this time.

"System? What is that? Is it like the kind of thing written in those novels before the apocalypse?" he muttered to himself.

[Yes, host. 】

[The Invincible Life System allows you to gain Emotion Points by inducing negative emotions in others, such as shock, despair, fear, dread, and resentment.]

"Can I exchange emotional points for all sorts of powerful items?" Twilight asked in his mind.

Yes, host. You are both handsome and intelligent!

Upon hearing this, Huang Hun grinned.

"Then tell me, what can I exchange it for?"

"As expected, humans are all greedy." The black mist curled its lip, secretly pleased.

Only greedy people will obey.

[Host, as long as your emotional value is sufficient, you can initiate the exchange. This includes fourth, fifth, and even tenth-tier crystal cores.]

In addition, there are all sorts of treasures that can enhance one's talents; everything imaginable is available.

Once your strength reaches a certain level, you can even exchange for various awesome talents.

"Holy crap! The novel really didn't lie to me."

Upon hearing this, Huang Hun's breathing quickened. Could those system novels from before the apocalypse really be true?

Everyone says art comes from life, but could someone have awakened a system before the apocalypse?

Never mind, I have it now anyway.

High-level crystal cores enhance talent.

Isn't this exactly what everyone has been hoping for?

If he makes good use of the system, he will surely become the world's strongest evolver in the future.

Eternal Day, Temple, that's all trash!

However, this still needs to be verified.

[Host, would you like to bind to this system?]

[If you don't want to, this system will leave and find another talented host.]

"Bind!"

Even though it was dusk, he couldn't help but blurt it out in his heart.

How could he possibly let go of the opportunity to become the strongest in the world?

In his mental space, the black mist revealed a human-like smile. Controlling greedy humans was far too easy.

[Host, please don't resist! The binding process might be a little painful!]

After the black energy mechanically spoke, it instantly pounced on the twilight's spiritual power.

Strands of black energy instantly pierced into the opponent's soul.
