Destined by fate

"What!"

A tremendous wave surged within Ye Xirou's heart.

An evil collective entity.

She had once come across this type of constitution in ancient texts.

The so-called evil collective entity, individuals with this constitution have gone through countless cycles of reincarnation, and in each lifetime, they commit great evils.

They bring calamity upon all living beings and distort human nature.

These people don't engage in any good deeds but excel in all forms of wrongdoing.

Such an individual appears only once in an era.

If an evil collective entity manifests in a sinister manner, it would be a nightmare for the world.

They can rise to S-level in the shortest time possible and even surpass the average S-level in terms of strength.

Eighteen years have passed, and if Zheng Chusheng is truly an evil collective entity, his strength is definitely more than just B+. It could be A-level or even A+.

Such an existence is far beyond what Wang Kexin and her group could seal.

There is only one explanation—he chose to stay here and didn't want to leave.

Everything he has done is an act, a grand scheme.

If he breaks through to S-level and emerges, it would be a disaster for all living beings.

Even the strongest humans would need several individuals to confront him.

However, theoretically speaking, even if Zheng Chusheng breaks through to S-level, China can still suppress him.

After all, five S-level powerhouses joining forces can overpower anyone within the same level.

His ultimate fate is death, unless he still has some hidden cards.

Indeed, Zheng Chusheng does have a trump card.

That is Ye Li.

He had long sensed the presence of a soul-absorbing physique in Jiangcheng.

Once he breaks through to S-level and devours this soul-absorbing physique, he can transcend S-level and reach the realm of a forbidden existence.

In this era, forbidden existences cannot emerge.

However, there is no restriction on breaking through from S-level to a forbidden existence, making him the only forbidden existence of this era.

Not to mention China, even the hundred nations of Blue Star would tremble under his divine might.

At that time, he would truly be the Demon King, the ruler of all beings.

Even if the future forbidden existence revives, he would remain unafraid.

But now, Zheng Chusheng's plan has been disrupted.

A forbidden existence has set its sights on him.

That forbidden existence wishes to possess him and descend into the world ahead of schedule.

The first one to descend as a forbidden existence would undoubtedly gain the greatest benefits in the future catastrophe.

Although forbidden existences cannot directly intervene, they can still influence reality, although it consumes a great deal of their power.

In other words, all the preparations Zheng Chusheng has made over the years will end up benefiting someone else.

Therefore, he can no longer wait. He must break through to S-level as quickly as possible and then devour the soul-absorbing physique.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Ye Xirou arrived.

"It seems you also know about the evil collective entity," Zheng Chusheng said indifferently.

His lips curled into a contemptuous smile, his face filled with disdain.

Ye Xirou's delicate face turned pale.

Facing an invincible evil collective entity at the same level, it was extremely dangerous. Even if she were an A-level, or even an A+, she might not be able to match the opponent.

Now, she was in grave danger.

"That's why I said earlier, sit down and have a proper conversation. Facing me, you have no chance of winning," Zheng Chusheng spoke with confidence, his smile becoming wider.

"To be honest, I prefer making money through peaceful means."

"I'll give you two options: first, serve me."

"Help me attract a hundred powerful Zhan Gui experts for me to devour."

"Second, become nourishment for me and let me devour you."

"So, what's your choice?"

Ye Xirou gritted her teeth, trembling all over.

Humiliation. As the young miss of the Ye family, she had never been humiliated like this in her life.

"Don't dream!"

"The Ye family only fights, never surrenders. We are not afraid even in death!"

"Uncle Jingxing and Aunt Yue'er never surrendered to the Zhan Gui even until their deaths!"

"I, Ye Xirou, will never surrender!"

She clenched her sword tightly, her face resolute.

Unfortunately, these eight girls who had suffered hardships throughout their lives would never have the chance to avenge themselves.

"Hahaha! Good! You have integrity!"

"I love people like you with integrity. That way, torturing you will be more fun!"

Zheng Chusheng burst into maniacal laughter, his face wild.

Now, he had revealed his true nature.

"Then go to your death!"

Dark energy surged around him as one of his hands transformed into pitch black. His finger bones elongated, and his fingertips extended over ten centimeters like sharp swords, thrusting towards Ye Xirou.

Ye Xirou blocked with her sword.

Clang!

A loud crash resounded as she was forced to retreat.

What formidable power!

"Hmph! A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

With a single wave of his hand, Zheng Chusheng shattered the luxurious room.

Everything turned pitch black.

"Since that's the case, I won't hold back!"

Yes, Zheng Chusheng had already made up his mind.

He would first devour Ye Xirou and the eight girls.

He should be able to ascend to the pinnacle of A+ or even reach the semi-S-level.

Then, he would devour all the living beings and Zhan Gui experts in Jiangcheng and several nearby cities.

Before the powerful individuals in China could react, he would slaughter all living beings at the fastest speed possible.

Break through to S-level in one go, and then capture the soul-absorbing physique.

Although there were risks involved, it was not impossible.

He had a 70% certainty of success.

"This damn seal! Do you really think you can stop me? Ants!" Zheng Chusheng let out a long howl as dark energy surged around him, forming billowing black clouds that soared into the sky. Zheng Chusheng's body grew taller like a demonic deity, and his suit shattered inch by inch. The black energy completely covered his body, leaving only a pair of crimson eyes.

"Ahhh!!!"

He let out a sky-shaking roar, and a terrifying power exploded in all directions, causing Ye Xirou to retreat frantically. It was too horrifying; this power seemed capable of crushing the heavens.

Whoosh!

Ye Xirou emerged from the vortex in a disheveled state.

"How is it? Did it work?" the eight of them surrounded her.

Ye Xirou took a deep breath.

"We need to go! There's no time to hesitate! We've all been deceived by him!"

"What?"

Before the others could react, the house began to shake violently the next moment.

The ice barrier created by Ye Xirou instantly shattered.

"Oh no, he's about to break out!"

Liu Anran said in panic.

"We need to leave, and we need to talk while we're on the move!"

Ye Xirou hurriedly called out.

"But we can't leave. We are bound to this place as earthbound spirits."

The eight of them said sadly.

"Tianwang Elementary School is gone, and we will disappear too."

"We have completely merged ourselves with the school."

Liu Anran smiled bitterly.

"You go. We won't leave. We'll stay here and perish with him!"

Wang Kexin smiled softly, her face filled with sorrow.

In the end, they didn't receive the hope they had been waiting for.

Perhaps, this was their destiny.

"Go quickly. If possible, burn some paper money for us on this day every year."

Liu Anran forced a smile.

"Big sister, this world is beautiful, and I hope you can see it on our behalf."

"Big sister, please go quickly. You're different from us. We have nothing left, but you still have a bright future."

"Big sister, if possible, can you burn paper money in the future to let me know what it feels like to be in love?"

"Big sister, please taste the deliciousness of the world for me in the future."

"Big sister, my biggest regret is not becoming a painter."

"Big sister, I really want to experience playing the violin on stage."

"Big sister, goodbye. As long as someone remembers us, we haven't completely disappeared."

All eight of them smiled and spoke to Ye Xirou.

Unconsciously, Ye Xirou noticed that her eyes were moist.

After so many years, she hadn't cried like this before.

The eight young girls were sacrificing themselves generously, while she couldn't do anything!

For the first time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Her former pride was completely gone.

"Go quickly, big sister. We'll hold him back."

Liu Anran turned around with a tranquil smile and resolutely walked away.

The eight of them blocked the office door.

"Wait for us. I'll find someone to save you!"

Ye Xirou felt a painful ache in her heart. She suppressed the urge to cry and turned around.

She activated her spiritual power to the extreme and rushed into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, she rushed out of Tianwang Elementary School, covering a distance of kilometers.

She saw Wen Qing not far away.

At that moment, the entire school collapsed with a thunderous roar.

The eight of them couldn't even hold on for a minute.

"Hahaha! I'm out!"

Zheng Chusheng let out a sky-shaking roar as a colossal demonic shadow manifested, blotting out the sky.
