Chapter 576 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
"Heh," Su Jinyue laughed contemptuously, "Two families, and two top families at that, can't find two people who eloped? I bet they didn't look seriously enough."
The Murong and Shangguan families each had their own schemes, and how could the head of the Shangguan family be willing to give up his own son and let his younger brother's son inherit the position of family head?
This Shangguan Hui is a bit naive. Does he really believe that his uncle, the head of the family, has no selfish motives and is solely devoted to the family?
Old Ghost sighed, "Yeah, how can you just take a little benefit and expect it all? Who knows if the honey you can get right away is laced with poison?"
This is such a simple principle that anyone can understand, but Shangguan Hui was blinded by the immediate benefits and couldn't see the trap hidden inside.
"Murong Wan and Shangguan Jin eloped for ten years, and then she returned. The two had a son and a daughter, and lived a happy life with both a son and a daughter."
But Shangguan Hui was different. In order to make his abilities worthy of the position of family head, he accepted the training mission arranged by the family. As a result, he accidentally broke his leg, and it was the kind that could not be cured.
His parents also died in an accident.
With his leg broken, he naturally couldn't be the head of the family. But then Shangguan Jin returned, with a happy family and having grown into an even more outstanding individual. Naturally, in the end, Shangguan Jin became the head of the Shangguan family.
Su Jinyue was not surprised. Those who could become the head of the family were not simple people. It would be easy for such people to scheme against a young man.
The head of the Shangguan family favored his son, but he couldn't show it.
His son eloped, and he was heartbroken. He punished his son by disqualifying him from inheriting the family headship. Was this price high enough?
To compensate his nephew and for the future of the family, he groomed his nephew to be the family heir. Is this compensation acceptable?
But later, when his nephew broke his leg during training, it was none of his business.
If his nephew can't inherit the family business due to his health condition, it's not his fault; it's simply because he lacks the ability.
"Later, did Shangguan Hui find out that it was his uncle who was behind it all?" Su Jinyue guessed.
Old Ghost sighed and continued, "Yes, Shangguan Hui knew that his parents' tragic deaths and his own accidental training were all due to his uncle's deliberate indulgence. Seeing his fiancée and cousin Shangguan Jin being a loving couple and that Shangguan Jin had become the matriarch of the Shangguan family, enjoying immense prestige, he hated the entire Shangguan family even more."
But after this ordeal, he became more shrewd and didn't react immediately. Instead, he kept his anger hidden and slowly built up his strength.
Years later, Shangguan Hui somehow obtained a divine book. After practicing it, not only did his leg heal, but his cultivation level also greatly increased.
Once he was strong enough, he returned to the Shangguan family and not only killed his uncle's family, but also almost slaughtered the entire Shangguan clan.
Not satisfied with that, he turned around and went to his former fiancée Murong's family, where he killed Murong Wan and her entire family.
After that, Shangguan Hui was put on the kill list and was jointly hunted down by the four major families. However, the more he was hunted down, the more powerful Shangguan Hui became. He killed many of the people who wanted to kill him, but he himself was unharmed.
Later, news spread that Shangguan Hui had obtained the divine book and mastered its cultivation, which led to even more people hunting him down.
Originally, because Shangguan Hui had severely damaged the Shangguan and Murong families, the remaining two families pursued him relentlessly in order to maintain the prestige of the four major families.
Once the news spread that the Divine Book was on Shangguan Hui, people from all but the four major families began searching for him, not to kill him, but simply to obtain the Divine Book.
The power of the divine book is immense. Everyone has a dream of being a hero, wanting to stand at the top and command the wind and rain.
Shangguan Hui had no way to avoid it. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't withstand the entire world opposing him.
Perhaps he was tired of being hunted down, so he simply published the contents of the divine book, making it known to everyone in the world.
At first, people did not believe in the authenticity of the divine book. It was only after someone actually tried to cultivate according to the secrets in the book and their cultivation level increased greatly that the news spread and people rushed to study the divine book.
The matter of Shangguan Hui being hunted down and surrounded was eventually forgotten once people's attention shifted to the divine book.
But after that, Shangguan Hui disappeared without a trace, and no one could find him again.
Su Jinyue raised an eyebrow. If you look at Murong Wan and Shangguan Jin, it's a sweet story about a couple who go through hardships, finally become a couple, and receive blessings from their families.
However, from Shangguan Hui's perspective, it's a story of a good-for-nothing who was jilted at the beginning and physically disabled, but then obtains a divine book and begins his life as an overpowered protagonist, a story of leveling up and slapping faces.
However, judging from Shangguan Hui's condition after taking revenge, it doesn't seem quite right...
"When Shangguan Hui reappears, it will be the time when he has completed his cultivation and is about to ascend to immortality."
For over a thousand years, no one in the Xuanming Realm has successfully ascended to immortality. If Shangguan Hui can successfully ascend, he will be the first person in the Xuanming Realm in a thousand years.
Seeing Shangguan Hui ascend to immortality through cultivating the divine book, all the cultivators in the Xuanming Realm were extremely envious. What followed was that everyone cultivated the divine book even more fervently, to the point of madness!
The contents of the divine book were spread throughout the entire Xuanming Realm by Shangguan Hui, and the divine book did not discriminate based on aptitude; anyone could cultivate it.
With so many people cultivating, cultivation resources become insufficient. Furthermore, with the example of Shangguan Hui's ascension keeping people in suspense, some people begin to resort to any means necessary.
Arson, murder, and robbery among strangers are common occurrences, and even among friends and relatives, betrayal and turning against each other are countless...
Su Jinyue remained silent. She sensed a conspiracy. The entire Xuanming Realm had been completely manipulated by a divine book, almost to the point of madness. This situation was too abnormal. Didn't anyone notice anything amiss?
Thinking this, Su Jinyue asked the question aloud.
Old Ghost smiled bitterly: "Later, someone noticed something was wrong, but by then it was too late!"
The entire Xuanming Realm is in chaos. Even if some people are conscious, they are a tiny minority, and such a small number simply cannot save everyone.
Su Jinyue opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The appearance of the divine book is a calamity for the Xuanming Realm. It is impossible for there to be a cultivation manual that anyone can cultivate!
When the divine book appeared, it should have alerted those in power, but the Xuanming Realm had already missed the best opportunity to turn the tide.
Every gift that fate bestows has a price already secretly marked on it!
Next, unless someone emerges capable of turning the tide, the Xuanming Realm is truly doomed!
But considering the current situation in the Xuanming Realm, Su Jinyue realized that the person who could turn the tide hadn't appeared yet...
“Actually, this isn’t even the worst-case scenario,” Old Ghost said in a deep voice. Su Jinyue actually saw a deep, unforgettable hatred in his eyes!
