<h4>Chapter 117: The War 5</h4>


    The current situation was filled with chaos and despair. Nearly all of the various races had been transformed into blood ants, though a few remained, fighting with all their might. But their efforts were being eroded by the blood ant poison coursing through their veins. Feng Yi, Zi Hao, and Xue Ting desperately tried tomunicate with their systems for help, but there was no response, as if their systems had never existed at all.


    Feng Yi nced at her own body, her face filled with rage, her bloodshot eyes reflecting her deep pain. Her body was slowly turning into a blood ant, and Lin Qingyi''s sword had pierced through her, causing crimson blood to spill out. The pain she felt wasn''t from the wound, but from the knowledge that everything she had was crumbling before her, and there was nothing she could do about it.


    "I... hate..." Feng Yi''s voice weakened, knowing these were herst words before her consciousness faded away.


    Nearby, Feng Yang stood helplessly, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to move and save his daughter, but no matter how hard he tried, he could do nothing. His body had been turned to ice from Lin Jia''s earlier attack. His eyes shone with pain and regret, as he realized he couldn''t take his daughter to see her mother onest time.


    Meanwhile, some still fought desperately for survival, while others chose to surrender to their fate. Some screamed in fury, while others remained silent, epting that they could not escape their grim destiny.


    "We..." Zi Hao whispered softly as he looked around at the few who remained, slowly turning into blood ants. Parts of Zihao''s own body had already transformed.


    The agonized screams of those turning into blood ants echoed through the cosmos. The never-ending chaos made everyone feel as though they were trapped in an eternal nightmare from which they would never awaken.


    In the end, the cruel fate of bing blood ants was inevitable for all. One by one, their bodies began to change, ws lengthening, crimson scales spreading across their skin, until finally, they werepletely transformed.


    Amid the chaos, within the thousands ofyers of entrapment, Jiang Yun was bound. His face, however, showed only a cold smile, as if he were waiting for something.


    The system''s voice echoed in his mind, sounding suspicious. "When did you know I would devour you?"


    Jiang Yun smiled slightly and responded, "I never knew anything like that."


    The systemughed softly, its tone filled with mockery. "You''re quite the convincing liar. At first, I nned to fatten you up more before devouring you, so the power I''d gain would be enough to reach that level..."


    Jiang Yun interrupted, "At first, I intended to use you until I reached a higher level, but as time went on, you began taking more and more of the luck I painstakingly stole. I don''t work for free either."


    The system was startled. "Ah... so you''ve known for a while that I intended to consume you. That''s why you never gambled anything, right? Yet, when you chose to gamble, you always got the best items or free ones... You altered my system settings, didn''t you?"


    Jiang Yun''s grin widened. "Why weren''t you this smart when we were together?"


    The system fell silent for a moment.


    Jiang Yun chuckled softly before asking, "By the way, what about the other three systems? Why didn''t theye to help you?"


    The system answered with frustration, "Don''tpare me to that garbage. I was created by Wu Yang, while the other three systems came from a different origin."


    Jiang Yun furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "So there are multiple origins for systems?"


    The system gave a lowugh and replied, "Never mind that. Let''s deal with our problem first. Though I still don''t know where you get the confidence that you can destroy me, I''ve been with you long enough to know that whatever n you''ve concocted, it just might work..."


    In an instant, the entrapment formations around Jiang Yun shattered. Massive cracks spread across the Tianyuan Universe, and the resulting shockwaves made everything tremble violently, as if the entire universe were on the verge of copse.


    Suddenly, the system''s voice shifted, and the once-disembodied entity emerged from Jiang Yun''s body, taking human form. It stood before Jiang Yun, tall and brimming with overwhelming power, exuding an oppressive presence just by standing there.


    "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Wu Yang. Nice to meet you, Jiang Yun," it said mockingly.


    Jiang Yun smiled slightly and asked, "So, you''re the one who created this viin system?"


    Wu Yangughed maniacally. "Yes, I created the viin system. But I didn''t just create this one—I have thousands of viin systems across many universes. I had hoped you would be my main course, helping me break through to that level... such a pity. But no matter. I''ll just consume you now!"


    Jiang Yun showed no fear, only a faint smile as he spoke softly, "Time Reversal..."
