Inside the main hall.
Xiao Ling'er slumped to the ground.
Her eyes filled with tears of fear, she stared disbelievingly at the man before her.
"You, you actually killed my sister!"
She pointed at Shen Changsheng, her hand trembling uncontrollably.
She couldn't help but be afraid, because the next to die might be her!
But how did Shen Changsheng have the guts?
He, an heir of a fourth-tier family, actually dared to lay hands on a direct descendant of a fifth-tier family?
Xiao Ling'er quickly looked at the Shen Family members on both sides of the hall.
The Shen Family members had various expressions, submissive and timid, yet not a single one stood out to criticize Shen Changsheng!
Shen Changsheng looked down at her, his eyes dark and deep, as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Go back and tell your Xiao Family, and your sister's lover outside, that I, Shen Changsheng, am waiting for them here."
Shen Changsheng's tone was very calm, showing no hint of anger from being cuckolded.
"You just wait for me!"
Xiao Ling'er left a harsh remark, then bit her thin lips tightly and flew out of the Shen Family with hatred.
She left her sister's corpse behind, not because she forgot, but because the fear of death in her bones drove her to urgently distance herself from this demon.
After she left, Shen Changsheng came outside the main hall.
He looked at Xiao Wan's corpse, which was bleeding from all seven orifices.
Then, a golden Xiao Ding appeared from his palm.
The Xiao Ding's luster was dim, and there were several visible cracks on it, making it appear somewhat damaged.
The Supreme Cauldron hummed, emitting a faint golden light, and then Xiao Wan's corpse underwent a strange change.
Inside her body, a peculiar light rose and flew into the Supreme Cauldron.
"A good start to this game, one fragment of the Great Dao Law acquired."
Shen Changsheng felt pleased.
He killed Xiao Wan not because she had cuckolded the original owner of this body.
But because he knew that Xiao Wan was one of the three thousand Destined Ones in the great calamity of his previous life, a God.
A long time ago, after he, a person from Earth, died, he awoke from chaos.
A mysterious person came before him, granted him a thousand years of lifespan, and invited him to join a game.
That person told him that he needed to choose one of two identities to compete.
One was a Destined One with great fortune.
The other was a villain who opposed the Destined One.
If he chose the former, his mission was to enter the top three thousand of the God Realm's Destined One List, and go with the others on the list to the final location to seize the Supreme Inheritance, and the reward would be the Supreme Inheritance finally shared.
If he chose the latter, then his mission was to hunt the Destined Ones, seize their opportunities and fortunes, collect three thousand Great Dao fragments, and activate the Supreme Inheritance.
If he could truly obtain the Supreme Inheritance, then his lifespan would no longer be limited to one thousand years, but would be eternal!
In his previous life, Shen Changsheng unhesitatingly chose the former.
The reason was simple.
The Destined Ones have the blessing of great fortune bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, and enough opportunities.
The most important thing is that in the early stages, they are protected by the Heavenly Dao and are not easily killed.
And villains are often experience packs on the growth path of the Destined Ones.
Without the protection of great fortune, whether one dies early or late purely depends on personal strength and background.
At that time, he was still very moral, and of course, he didn't want to be a bad person.
Then he was reborn into the young master of the Shen Family with the same name.
For the next eight hundred years, he relied on some special means to find Destined Ones one by one, gathering with them, and advancing towards the Supreme Inheritance.
It's just a pity...
In his early years, Shen Changsheng was relatively naive, actually thinking that these darlings chosen by the Heavenly Dao were all benevolent people.
He had confided in these so-called friends, but what he ultimately received was schemes and betrayal.
He then realized that most of these people were hypocrites, sanctimonious and self-righteous.
However, human greed is innate; how could he himself not have greed?
Desire is irrepressible.
Even the Heavenly Dao cannot control human desires.
When he first arrived in the Qingxuan World, he was a kind person.
But eight hundred years were enough for him to experience many things, and enough to change him a lot.
The collapse of his faith, the betrayal of friends, and the abandonment by his former lover, and being refined into a blood fiend puppet by the Witch God Clan...
All these things, imperceptibly, fostered his demonic heart.
Until that incident happened—
When his younger brother, Chang Geng, was born, he completely became a true demon.
From then on, he discarded his old self, embraced his true self, unscrupulously plundered opportunities, and rapidly enhanced his own foundation.
In his previous life, he had already laid out a crucial plan.
He possessed nine Supreme Cauldrons, and each one, when upgraded to tenth-grade, would transcend its rank to become a divine artifact. The nine Cauldrons combined could even reverse the River of Time, but the process of refining and upgrading the Supreme Cauldrons would consume an enormous amount of resources and fortune.
So he designed a plan, allowing several Destined Ones to obtain the Supreme Cauldrons he left behind through so-called coincidences.
From then on, he would use their resources and immense fortune to upgrade them into divine artifacts, and then kill them to seize the treasures when the time was ripe.
Finally, facing the descent of the Great Demon God, he realized that if he didn't escape, there was only a dead end.
But escaping would attract the Great Demon God's attention, leading to pursuit.
In the previous life, the Supreme Inheritance had already been snatched by someone else, and that person became the Great Demon God.
In the remaining two hundred years of his lifespan, it would be impossible for him to snatch the Supreme Inheritance from the other party.
It was like a chick trying to knock down an elephant.
But then he thought, since he had nine divine-grade Supreme Cauldrons, why not cheat and restart the game?
When the Heavenly Gate opens ten thousand feet high, how would one know if it's a dragon or a loach without leaping?
Thus, he took out the last Cauldron from Gu Qing's body, and then summoned the other eight Cauldrons that had already been upgraded to divine artifacts.
With the nine Cauldrons combined, he had the ability to reverse time and return to the past.
Now, having returned, he was determined to walk another path.
To become a Supreme Demon God and pursue immortal, indestructible eternal life!
As for how to proceed from now on, he possessed the experience of eight hundred years from his previous life and knew what to do.
Among these, the Great Dao Law fragments are essential, requiring three thousand Great Dao fragments.
And the Great Dao fragments are hidden in the souls of the Destined Ones; they can be obtained by successfully hunting a Destined One.
He returned with the Supreme Cauldron, Chang Geng, and the experience from his previous life, and also knew the true identities of many Destined Ones, making it easier to win by choosing to hunt Destined Ones.
Shen Changsheng gazed at Xiao Wan.
Normally, a Destined One would not be so easily killed.
However, there are exceptions.
Even though he had been reborn, his soul was injured, but his strength far exceeded his physical realm, not to mention having the Supreme Cauldron.
If he was determined to kill, then in the face of absolute power, there was no room for "luck."
Secondly, he was a demon from beyond the heavens; the Heavenly Will of this world could not directly influence his will, thereby making him inexplicably spare Xiao Wan's life.
The only thing he needed to be wary of was the mysterious person who had resurrected him and involved him in this game.
That person was unfathomable; even in his previous life, when he possessed nine divine-grade Supreme Cauldrons, he failed to defeat that person.
When his demonic actions are fully revealed in this life, that mysterious person might not be able to stand it; that person could grant him immense fortune, and could also take it away.
Without great fortune protecting him, the path ahead would likely be quite bumpy and difficult.
But, what of it?
An Immortal Venerable once said: Haven't you heard that Heaven never seals off all exits? As long as you want to walk, the path is right beneath your feet!
Such a challenging life, how could it not be a wonderful one?
Thinking of this, he smiled arrogantly, his heart filled with confidence.
He looked down at the three corpses before him, and with a flick of his sleeve, he took them into the Supreme Cauldron.
Directly cremating and sending them off in one go.
After the Supreme Cauldron swallowed the God, it absorbed a large amount of Heavenly Dao fortune, and a deeper crack on the Cauldron gradually disappeared.
The Shen Family members behind him watched his actions, feeling a bit numb.
This guy not only killed people from the Xiao Family but didn't even leave them a chance to collect the bodies!
Shen Xiao was extremely worried.
He swallowed, remembering that Shen Changsheng had not killed him outright earlier, so the other party must have had a reason for sparing his life.
So he mustered his courage and said to Shen Changsheng with concern:
"Chang... Changsheng, the Xiao Family is now a fifth-tier family, and they have a close relationship with the Luo Tian Sect. If we killed the eldest daughter of the Xiao Family, I'm afraid we will have an endless feud from now on."
Shen Changsheng's expression remained calm.
"It doesn't matter, I will act."
He turned around and scanned the crowd, a faint, almost imperceptible sinister smile in his eyes.
"You just need to listen to me. In the future, let alone becoming the number one family in the Qingxuan World, even becoming an immortal clan in the Upper Realm will be effortless."
"Ah? Upper Realm Immortal Clan..."
The Shen Family members looked at each other, appearing as if they wanted to complain but dared not open their mouths.
They just felt that Shen Changsheng was saying something utterly ridiculous.
First of all, an Upper Realm Immortal Clan, it has to be from the Upper Realm, right?
Could Shen Changsheng really lead their entire clan to ascend?
Shen Changsheng knew what they were thinking, but he didn't explain much.
He clearly understood that an Upper Realm Immortal Clan was like a fleeting dream to them.
But it wouldn't be long before they would know that he, Shen Changsheng, never spoke big words.
However, one thing must be clear: there is no free lunch in this world.
What's wrong with becoming an immortal through the Crossing Calamity Demon Body?
"Oh, and one more thing."
Shen Changsheng suddenly smiled politely, "I have a younger brother; you all should get to know him."
The Shen Family members were puzzled.
Wasn't your younger brother Shen Congyun just killed by you?
Just as everyone was bewildered, Shen Changsheng actually conjured an embryo from his own soul.
