"System, tell me exactly how to obtain Destiny Points?"
Inside his cave mansion, Mo Tianxiao began to study his system.
Although he didn't want to be a villain, if this system could be used, he had to make the most of it.
He had roughly figured out how to get Villain Points, but as for these Destiny Points, according to the system, he had to deal with the Children of Destiny to get them.
But there were many ways to deal with a Child of Destiny; he didn't necessarily have to kill them, right?
[Lowering the guard of a Child of Destiny and making them completely trust the host to become the host's person can earn Destiny Points. Alternatively, making the Child of Destiny experience pain, stealing their fortuitous encounters, lowering their destiny level, and completely ruining them can also earn Destiny Points.]
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao fell into deep thought.
"In other words, I can be a villain out in the open, or I can do it in the shadows."
Listening to the system's explanation, he felt that the first method of acquiring Destiny Points seemed much easier.
Making friends with a Child of Destiny was surely simpler than making enemies out of them.
"If that's the case, then I'll start with my junior sister and my master."
The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. Although there was a slight misunderstanding with his little junior sister, as long as he behaved a bit better, it wasn't impossible to gain her trust.
As for his master...
Mo Tianxiao stroked his chin. According to the original body's memories, he was an orphan who had been taken in by the Sect Master as a personal disciple at a very young age.
Moreover, he was the first one in history.
Speaking of talent, he had a bit of it—enough to be ranked within the entire Netherworld Demon Sect, but definitely not at the very top.
Why did his master take him in as a disciple?
Over the years, she had basically left him to fend for himself.
Mo Tianxiao was completely puzzled by this.
"Could it be that I actually have some hidden talent that hasn't been discovered yet?"
Thinking about how his junior sister had an unawakened Immortal Bone, why couldn't he have an unawakened Supreme Bone?
Perhaps it was just because his current cultivation realm was too low for him to notice it.
"System, open the character panel!"
[Name: Mo Tianxiao
Cultivation: Third Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm
Destiny Level: Black
Cultivation Technique: Demon Emperor Sutra (First Level)
Magical Artifact: Nine Tribulations Holy Sword (Sealed State)
Villain Points: 100
Destiny Points: 0]
"Ah, this..."
Looking at his panel, Mo Tianxiao was a bit stunned.
What kind of destiny level was black?
And what the hell was this Demon Emperor Sutra??
Didn't his master say that the cultivation technique she gave him was very ordinary? She even told him to just make do with it for now and switch to a better one later.
The Demon Emperor Sutra... This name didn't sound ordinary at all!
He had only cultivated it to the first level, yet it allowed him to reach the third stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Could this freaking be an Emperor-tier cultivation technique?
"And this Nine Tribulations Holy Sword... Is this a sealed Holy Artifact?"
Mo Tianxiao hurriedly took out the sword that had been gathering dust in the corner of his spatial ring.
It was pitch-black all over, with a slender blade wrapped in dense, dark red runes.
Using his spiritual energy to sense it, Mo Tianxiao discovered nine seals within the sword. Beneath these seals, it seemed to contain terrifying power.
"Holy crap, it really is a Holy Artifact!"
If he remembered correctly, his master had given him this sword back when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm and learned sword flight, saying that she didn't have a worse sword than this one.
The original body actually believed that this sword was very ordinary, so he just left it in a corner to gather dust.
Anyway, as the Eldest Senior Brother of the Demon Sect, he rarely had the chance to fight. This sword had been with him but had never been drawn from its sheath.
"Speaking of which... Master treated the original body so well. If she found out that the original body had already been replaced by me, would she directly obliterate my soul?"
Thinking of this, Mo Tianxiao felt that he should appear in front of his master as little as possible to avoid exposing any flaws.
"Senior Brother Mo! Are you inside?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the cave mansion, making Mo Tianxiao stop his train of thought. He snapped back to reality and walked outside.
Stepping out of the cave mansion, Mo Tianxiao looked down with a single glance, taking in the sight of white clouds and immortal cranes.
The location of his cave mansion was almost the highest among the disciples, even on par with the outer sect elders.
Further up were the inner sect elders and the various big shots of the Demon Sect.
"This doesn't look like a Demon Sect at all."
Surrounded by white clouds and immortal cranes, with grand and majestic architecture, the sect was brimming with vitality. Those who didn't know better would think this was some orthodox immortal sect.
"Senior Brother Mo, what are you saying?"
In front of the cave mansion's entrance, a man with an average-looking face wore a fawning expression. He bowed his body and rubbed his hands together as he looked at Mo Tianxiao. "Senior Brother Mo, how did it go? You've got your hands on the Immortal Bone, right?"
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao turned his head to look at the man beside him, his brows slightly furrowing. "Li Yu?"
Seeing this person, Mo Tianxiao realized—wasn't it this guy who suggested that the original body go and steal the little junior sister's Immortal Bone?
As expected, the lackey of a villain was also a villain.
No, if you counted it like that, this entire Demon Sect should be villains.
"Do you know that this matter has been exposed, and even the Sect Master knows about it?"
Mo Tianxiao looked at him with calm eyes, and the imposing aura of the Demon Sect's Eldest Senior Brother instantly surged forth.
The lackey named Li Yu trembled, his eyes instantly filled with fear. He spoke in a trembling voice, "S-Senior Brother Mo, the Sect Master... the Sect Master doesn't know it was my idea, right?"
If the Sect Master found out that he was the one who suggested the Eldest Senior Brother steal Junior Sister Nangong Wan's Immortal Bone, he probably wouldn't live past tonight.
"Senior Brother Mo, you absolutely must plead for me! I only came up with this method so that you could become stronger!"
Looking at Li Yu's expression as if he were about to die, Mo Tianxiao began to ponder, "Is Master really that terrifying?"
"Enough. Master doesn't know about this. Just remember in the future, although we are demonic cultivators, you must never scheme against our own junior brothers and sisters, understand?"
According to the memories in his mind, Li Yu was the original body's capable lackey who had done many things for him. His strength was at the Fifth Stage of the Golden Core Realm, which was fairly decent.
Most importantly, the guy was obedient enough. Although the suggestions he made were a bit unreliable, he had never disobeyed his orders.
"Understood, Senior Brother! I will keep your teachings in mind!"
Joy appeared on Li Yu's face as he hurriedly cupped his hands in gratitude.
Although he didn't know when his Eldest Senior Brother had gained such enlightenment, as long as he didn't die, it was fine.
"Senior Brother, this is a fortuitous encounter I found while out gaining experience a while ago. Please accept it as an apology for this time, and I hope you don't disdain it."
Saying this, Li Yu took out a banner from his spatial ring, which was still emitting faint traces of black smoke.
"What is this?"
Looking at this banner emitting black smoke, a bold guess popped into Mo Tianxiao's mind...
"Senior Brother, this is a magical artifact I found in a secret realm. It seems to be able to store souls, and there are already quite a few souls inside. These souls can be summoned to attack enemies, or they can be detonated.
It's a pretty good offensive magical artifact. As for its grade, I'm not entirely sure either, but it definitely isn't low!"
Li Yu explained.
He actually liked this magical artifact quite a bit himself, but considering that he had accidentally screwed over his Eldest Senior Brother this time, he could only reluctantly part with it as an apology.
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao took the banner and opened his Eye of Appraisal to scan it.
[Magical Artifact: Human Emperor Banner (Incomplete)
Grade: Unknown (Growth-type)
Function: Refine myriad souls, deliver all living beings]
"..." Mo Tianxiao was speechless.
Good, good, good, so it really is this thing. To think that such an ultimate killing weapon would actually fall into the hands of that guy, Li Yu?
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
