Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Su Liang frowned, and despite feeling very uncomfortable, he tried his best to calmly remind her.

"award!"

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! You survived for seven days in the Yunmeng Great Swamp and have received the reward: the aura of a Divine Emperor.]

Su Liang immediately had an idea and opened the item description.

[Acquired Divine Emperor Aura: Allows for another physical transformation, a sublimation-like metamorphosis, and is 100% transformed into the body of an Acquired Divine Emperor.]

"side effect?"

"Don't be ungrateful, kid. This is such a good thing, it's not because of you—"

"You're the villain system."

After a long silence, the villainous system uttered a single sentence and then went into hiding.

"Use it or not, take it or leave it."

Seeing that the system was so angry with him that it went offline, Su Liang shook his head and smiled, but ultimately decided to use it anyway.

Perhaps this guy is obsessed with deceiving himself into thinking he's the villain, and he'll stop at nothing to achieve it.

但事

Regarding the reward, there has never been any ambiguity.

As soon as Su Liang thought of it, a pale golden aura filled with pressure instantly poured into his brow and quickly spread out.

It was like a rushing river.

From the center of the forehead to the heart, it's only a snap of the fingers.

The great river then transformed into numerous trickles, which never ceased flowing, meandering through Su Liang's meridians.

Perhaps because he had been cleansed by the innate Qi, no impurities were expelled from Su Liang's body, but he felt a swelling sensation.

This feeling was so unpleasant that Su Liang almost cried out several times.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Su Liang's consciousness gradually returned to his body. He took a gentle sniff and could smell a refreshing fragrance.

Su Liang did not open his eyes. He maintained his previous posture and continued to absorb the essence of the acquired divine emperor's energy.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that the meridians within his body had been cleansed and were completely renewed, as if he were no longer a mortal body, but rather a divine one.

The spiritual energy flowed through it, transforming into long rivers.

As he breathed, he began practicing the I Ching body-strengthening exercises.

As soon as he activated his technique, he became more energetic, and his previous fatigue vanished completely.

Su Liang was about to put away his cultivation technique when he saw a little bit of golden light appear in his meridians.

He immediately enveloped the radiance with his flowing spiritual energy, and in an instant, the radiance was swallowed up by his spiritual energy.

The moment those rays of light were converted into spiritual energy, the spiritual energy within Su Liang's body surged, and he even showed signs of breaking through the second stage of Foundation Establishment.

Su Liang quickly calmed himself down, determined to absorb all the brilliance.

After a long chase, all the radiance within Su Liang's body vanished without a trace.

He slowly opened his eyes, and with just a breath, he let out a soft moan.

Looking at the previous injuries again, there was no trace of them.

Su Liang then looked inward at himself. His dantian was now full of abundant spiritual energy, indicating that he had already reached the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The shadows cast by the overhanging tree canopy are still visible, and it is now close to noon the next day.

Two days later, Su Liang emerged from the tree hole.

He gazed into the depths of the Yunmeng Marsh, his fists clenched tightly.

He always felt that something was different there, because the huge creature he saw was far more ferocious than any other beast he had ever encountered before.

Where rare and precious materials are found, there are bound to be guardian beasts.

Having made up his mind, Su Liang set off into the depths of the Yunmeng Great Swamp.

"You brat, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Su Liang ignored the system's voice. Even without any rare treasures, he couldn't let the previous grudge go unpunished.

Su Liang had reached the edge of death; one more step forward and he would be doomed!

The Dead Zone is a swampy area with only one narrow path. A slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.

Su Liang took out the Po Jun sword, gripped it tightly with one hand, and took a step forward.

There was immediate commotion in the swamp.

A massive shadow, as large as a mountain, appeared, and when the swamp receded, it revealed its true form.

Two long fangs protruded from its chin, and its pale blue body was covered in filth.

Su Liang was defeated by it last time; its name is Chisel Tooth.

But things are different now.

He could clearly feel just how powerful his body was at that moment!

At least, it's not something this alien species can contend with.

At the same time.

Chisel Tooth revealed its form and took a few steps to reach Su Liang, its powerful aura spreading outwards.

Su Liang did not back down. He raised Po Jun, ready to pierce Zao Chi's body at any moment.

Chisel Tooth raised its two enormous arms, bringing with it a biting gust of cold wind, and smashed down towards Su Liang's body.

Su Liang seized the opportunity, took a step forward, and his eyes shone brightly.

With the thought of gods and demons arising, his entire being entered into two completely different extremes.

The Broken Army sword in his hand transformed into a streak of light, piercing into Zaochi's brow.

Zaochi's eyes lost their luster. Su Liang landed, still holding Po Jun in his hand, but the hand holding Po Jun seemed to be trembling slightly.

Is this the change brought about by the body of the acquired God Emperor?

There was no clear information, but the body's reaction, speed, strength, and explosiveness were more than ten times greater than before.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to win so easily.

"Hurry to the center of the swamp, or it will be too late."

The system reminded Su Liang in his ear. Su Liang was slightly taken aback, but did not hesitate for long.

He had already suspected that there was a spiritual object hidden here, and now that he heard the system's words, he naturally assumed that the spiritual object had already appeared.

After Su Liang had walked for a while, the dead Chisel Tooth finally sank into the depths of the swamp.

[The Cloud Marsh Fire is a flame that arises alongside the ley lines of the Yunmeng Marsh, and it holds extraordinary significance for the Yunmeng Marsh.]

[Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden mission and seizing one thousand units of the Chosen One's fortune.]

(A new week begins, please continue to support me)

Chapter Fourteen: Only by Destroying the World Can One Follow the Right Path

Su Liang glanced at the flames floating in his palm a few times, then turned and walked out of the Yunmeng Great Swamp without lingering.

The very heart of the Yunmeng Marsh is a forest formed by a single tree, which is also a forbidden zone of the Yunmeng Marsh.

Su Liang, who was leaving in a hurry, did not notice what was behind him.

The restricted area was already in complete chaos.

Within the woodland, phoenixes circle above, Bai Ze roams among them, and Zhulong lets out long sighs.

In the blink of an eye, the three beasts gathered under a tall tree that reached into the clouds.

Zhulong's face was fully revealed. His two bright eyes, as bright as the sun overhead, looked in the direction Su Liang had left. At first, there was an unspoken killing intent, but then it turned into a trace of fear.

"He took it."

"Stopping him would be a piece of cake for us."

"But there's no need for that."

"We have waited patiently for a thousand years, allowing it to hide here, and it has finally been reborn, but we never expected..."

Having said that, the Phoenix and the Candle Dragon exchanged a glance and sighed softly.

"It's all about timing and fate."

After leaving Yunmeng Marsh, Su Liang was still unaware of the impact of the Yunze Earth Fire he had taken with him, and even less aware of how many times he had teetered on the brink of death.

They arrived trembling with fear, but left full of confidence and high spirits.

He didn't bask in his joy for long, but instead remembered the system's earlier reminder.

Previously, I hadn't asked in detail because I was in a hurry to leave Yunmeng Daze.

Now that he had time, Su Liang immediately recited it silently in his mind.

"System, what about the hidden mission you mentioned earlier, and what exactly is the Chosen One?"

"Oh ho, you finally noticed?"

The system's voice immediately sounded, with a hint of teasing in its tone.

Without Su Liang needing to ask any further questions, the system had already provided him with an explanation.

“Speaking of the Chosen One, that’s a great title. It represents the recognition and protection of a world for you.”

"Luck is the key! The more abundant one's luck, the more favored one is by Heaven."

"When you have acquired enough luck, even as a villain, you will become the center of the world stage."

"At that time, people all over the world worshipped you, and you were revered by thousands."

"Alright, alright, enough of this useless chatter."

Su Liang quickly interrupted the system's fantasy. Who knew if he would make connections with some major villain or demon if he continued talking?

"Then let me tell you about the plundering of destiny."
