Chapter 2:
Chapter 2: The Destiny Villain System Activates:
“So, I’ve really transmigrated?”
“And I’ve ended up in the world of a novel?” Chu Yun felt a dull ache in his head.
In his previous life, he was a nine-to-five worker with a dull life, lacking any excitement. Even when he wanted to go out and have fun, his tight budget kept him cooped up at home. His only relief was reading novels.
After finally discovering a novel that gripped him for the first three chapters, he found the quality dropped sharply afterward, blending random ideas from popular works. It was frustrating, and by the time he reached a few hundred chapters, it felt like an entirely different writer had taken over. Characters changed without reason, and even the main heroine was killed off and replaced.
Chu Yun was used to it, though, and gritted his teeth to finish the novel just to see the ending. To make things worse, the author updated at a snail’s pace, only releasing a chapter every two to three days. One night, while he was waiting for an update, he blacked out—and the next thing he saw was the scene before him.
“Thirty years of rise and fall?”
“Leaving the Celestial Peak Sect?”
“Isn’t this the part right before the protagonist makes his comeback in the novel I was reading?”
The novel was a typical “Dragon-AoTian” novel: the protagonist starts with a wise elder in his ring, leveling up to crush enemies and eventually ascending to immortality. In two years, he reached the Spirit Sea Reach, which was impressive but not unmatched in the Eastern Continent. However, Chu Yun, having read the novel, knew that Ye Xuan was biding his time to accumulate strength.
The Spirit Sea Realm was all about building a foundation and accumulating power. While most cultivators only amassed power equivalent to a stream, and even talented ones could only reach the level of a river, Ye Xuan’s Spirit Sea was boundless, like an endless ocean.
With this unparalleled foundation, he would later leave the Celestial Peak Sect, join the demonic sect, and soar to new heights—reaching Soul Palace in three months, Supernatural Realm in a year, Yin-Yang Realm in five years, Law Manifestation Realm in ten years, and Heavenly Cave Realm in thirty. Within fifty years, he would enter the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, and in less than a hundred years, transcend into a True Immortal.
In the middle of his journey, he would even lead an attack on the Celestial Peak Sect, wiping it out completely!
It was thrilling to read in the novel, but now that Chu Yun found himself as the villain in this novel, all he felt was a headache.
Sects in the world ranked from ninth to first grade, with first-grade sects revered as Sacred Lands.
According to the plot, Chu Yun was the peak master of Thousand Layers Peak in the Celestial Zenith Sect. This sect consisted of a hundred branches, each led by a peak master. The Sect Master Peak held absolute authority, overseeing two powerful forces—the Battle Hall and Discipline Hall. The remaining branches constantly provided talent to these two institutions.
Strong branches had thousands of disciples, and each year, those who made a breakthrough into the Supernatural Realm joined either the Battle Hall or Discipline Hall, receiving ample sect resources. Weak branches, like Chu Yun’s Thousand Layers Peak, had only five disciples!
And Ye Xuan’s so-called “Qingqing” was actually Ning Qingqing,
Chu Yun’s fourth disciple.
She and Ye Xuan were childhood friends, and when her talent for cultivation was discovered, she joined the Celestial Peak Sect, becoming Chu Yun’s disciple.
Absorbing the original host’s memories, combined with the novel’s plot, Chu Yun realized he was a complete villain! His five disciples were all stunningly beautiful, but he had accepted them not for their talent but purely for their looks.
He even had a record of making advances on them, which ultimately led to his disgrace. When Ye Xuan finally attacked the sect, all five disciples betrayed him. In his last moments, he even tried to sow discord between Ning Qingqing and Ye Xuan!
‘Thirty years left to live?’
‘Don’t mess with me!’
Desperately, Chu Yun thought to himself, ‘I need to find a way to rewrite my fate, or at the very least, find a way to clear my villainous reputation!’
Just then…
[Ding!] Congratulations, Host, for successfully transmigrating!
The Destiny Villain System is now activated!
This system will assist the Host in becoming a grand villain. Simply act according to the villain role, and rewards will follow!
Host: Chu Yun
Spirit Root: Low-grade Fire Root
Comprehension: Average
Realm: Initial Law Manifestation
Cultivation Technique: Earth-grade low-tier, Thousand Layers Flame Waves Technique
PS: As a villain, your strength barely qualifies you as an elite monster!]
The system’s notifications echoed in Chu Yun’s mind, and his face darkened immediately.
‘So, I’m supposed to go down this villain’s path with no way out?’
‘Why?’
‘I, Chu Yun, am a positive, morally upstanding young man. Could mere rewards tempt me into villainy?’
He scoffed internally, ‘Today, I’m…’
[Ding! System detected Host’s situation. Beginner’s Pack is ready. Claim now?]
“Yes, claim!” Chu Yun thought without hesitation.
After all, a good reputation is fleeting, but rewards are forever!
[Ding! Beginner’s Pack is now being distributed!]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the supreme treasure: Great Sun True Fire Fan!]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the heavenly-grade supreme technique: Great Sun True Fire Art!]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a top-tier Law Manifestation: Great Sun Golden Crow Form]
Three notifications sounded in succession.
Before Chu Yun could inspect his rewards, Qingxuan Zhenren, who had just finished listening to the elders’ praise, spoke up again in the grand hall.
“Alright, that’s enough. Everyone may leave now. In a month, the Saintess of the Celestial Holy Land will be visiting the Celestial Peak Sect to participate in the Tianyuan Secret Realm trials. Make sure your disciples behave accordingly!”
“Oh, and Elder Zhang, you will be responsible for welcoming the Saintess,” Qingxuan Zhenren added.
“Thank you, Sect Master!” Zhang Yuan, the head of the Discipline Hall, was overjoyed, secretly relieved that his previous actions had been noticed by the Sect Master and rewarded.
The Celestial Holy Land!
A Holy Land, towering over countless sects in the Eastern Continent, home to a Void Immortal and leagues above the Celestial Peak Sect.
The Celestial Saintess, Yue Xinyao, was a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy, already selected as the next master of the Celestial Holy Land.
If Zhang Yuan could associate himself with someone of her stature, it would be like stepping straight into the heavens.
“Understood, thank you, Sect Master!” Zhang Yuan bowed gratefully.
“Good, now everyone may leave…” Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded indifferently.
Hearing this, the crowd began to disperse.
