I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 871: The Great Plan of the Underworld Realm will be very lively soon

Nevertheless, the Mountain and Sea World stand out as the most suitable places compared to other realities. The true essence of this world lies scattered, dispersed by a peerless and ruthless figure eons ago. It has vanished into the void, leaving the laws of heaven and earth incomplete.

Moreover, there are no supreme powerhouses in this realm, and ordinary immortal kings are unlikely to discern these anomalies. The rest of the universe is bustling with activity, and any hasty intrusion here could lead to unimaginable consequences, jeopardizing the meticulously planned strategy.

Our family’s destiny now rests squarely on your shoulders, and you must proceed with utmost caution. Once you successfully seize control of this world, you will ascend to the true ruler of this reality. Empowered by my innate divine abilities from the Underworld Clan, you will stand equal to the authentic spirits. As you ponder, mountains and seas may flourish or wither at your command.

Your cultivation will skyrocket to unprecedented, terrifying heights, possibly even reaching the threshold of transcendence.

Deep within the cosmos lies a lonely and shattered star field. Countless lifeless stars dot the outskirts of the Immortal Domain, devoid of any trace of cultivators. The rare entities present are ancient star beasts scavenging for star cores in the distance.

Amidst this fractured star field, a youth in green attire sits cross-legged, surrounded by wisps of blue light, his face obscured by an indescribable aura of peculiarity and grandeur. Despite appearing fifteen or sixteen, his eyes reveal intermittent glimpses of worldly weariness.

Before the young man in green, faint soul fires swirled, dancing and hovering in the void. Within each flickering soul, fire resonated spiritual wisdom and voices, the very conduits through which communication flowed.

Expressing his thoughts, the young man, Ni Chen, maintained a composed demeanor, his eyes revealing a profound understanding.

Integrating the Heavenly Heart imprint in this realm poses a formidable challenge. I must explore alternative methods, as progressing to that stage is already complex, let alone seizing control of the genuine world of mountains and seas.

With a resigned shake of his head, he continued murmuring.

I reshaped my foundation using life-shaping, breaking free from the Underworld’s constraints and rejuvenating my essence. Unfortunately, this world and the Way of the Underworld are unsuitable for my family. If I discover a suitable ancient world in disrepair and merge it with a random Heavenly Heart imprint, it might aid in my transformation into an immortal.

Ni Chen, the sole survivor of the Underworld Clan and the former young patriarch in the Underworld Realm, contemplated his circumstances.

In the bygone era, the Real World of Mountains and Seas encompassed the Immortal Realm, Foreign Lands, and Upper Realm. Although rankings once existed in the vast heavens and actual worlds, they were distant memories.

Presently, denizens of the Immortal Realm referred to themselves predominantly as descendants of the immortal clan. With only a handful of ancient ethnic groups holding onto the old terminology, most acknowledged the real world of mountains and seas, encompassing both the immortal domain and the foreign land, anticipating an eventual fusion.

Even without intervention, powerhouses from other realms sought ways to assimilate the real world of mountains and seas once they pinpointed its boundless coordinates. Devoid of the true spirit’s protection, this realm became a tempting prize for peerless beings, offering unmatched fortune.

Yet, unless one encountered extraordinary luck, the mere thought of cultivators, even immortal emperors, successfully annexing and refining an entire world remained audacious.

Only the Underworld family possessed the means and supernatural prowess to seize a segment of the natural world and substitute it with a different true spirit.

For Ni Chen, his destiny was seizing the real world of mountains and seas. In that moment, his life and cultivation levels would experience an extraordinary ascent, transforming the real world of mountains and seas into the realm of the Underworld, reshaping his homeland.

At that time, I’ll bring back my parents, lover, and all our clansmen.

The present chaos in the real world of mountains and seas presented an opportune moment for Ni Chen. Seated on a depleted ancient star, he harnessed the power of the Dao laws, tempering his body. A concealed desire and madness flickered in his eyes as he contemplated his long-planned scheme.

Having journeyed from the vast and broken land to the real world of mountains and seas, Ni Chen needed to be bold about his purpose. “Time waits for no one,” he reminded himself.

The soul fires before Ni Chen swayed, emanating a sense of age and experience.

“Even if you can’t find a suitable Heavenly Heart imprint, you’ll begin your transformation into an immortal,” they conveyed. “I sense other formidable beings traversing the vast sea, eventually reaching this place.”

Unperturbed, Ni Chen replied flatly, “Even if I fail to become an immortal, I have time to change into another body. The younger generation of the immortal king’s family provides a suitable option. Through Miss Ziji, I can connect with Wang Wushang, a descendant of the Wang family. If my immortality eludes me, I’ll directly occupy his body. Then, I’ll bring you into the Wang family, where there might be opportunities to replace many Wang ancestors.”

A flickering soul fire cautioned, “Though my divine powers of the Underworld can govern the creation of heaven and earth, the Wang family’s immortal king ancestors are not to be underestimated. Today, we may not necessarily be their equals. Prioritize the bigger picture, take advantage of Wang Ziji, but don’t let emotions cloud your judgment. Her regard for you might merely be a chance encounter.”

Ni Chen pondered in silence, then calmly responded, “I understand; there’s no need to worry too much. Next, I aim to find a ruined ancient world and cross that threshold.”

As he spoke, the intensity of the blue light enveloping his body increased. The sole light between his eyebrows radiated, spreading like a vast fog across the surrounding star fields. With deep cultivation and long lifespans, star beasts were engulfed by the soul mist, transforming into bursts of blue smoke that dissipated into nothingness.

Boom!

A sudden surge of shocking waves disrupted the tranquility in an unknown and boundless sea of worlds. Upon impact, the layers of ancient worlds before them crumbled into dust, filling the sky with remnants of their former existence.

In this expansive sea of worlds, indistinct ships sailed through the mist. However, the Dao storm in that realm was formidable, even the falling real thunder displaying a terrifyingly destructive force.

The world sprawled endlessly, shrouded in heavy mist that lingered everywhere. Ancient worlds and the vast universe seemed to sway, and a hazy mirror-like surface emerged where the sky met the earth.

Beyond the mirror surface, a corresponding ancient world mirrored the undulations of the universe, appearing symbiotic. Yet, a slow convergence between the inside and outside of the mirror was underway.

Unknowable and peculiar changes unfolded where they touched, featuring collapses, disintegration, fusions, and prohibitions. In moments of collapse, the world’s barriers vanished, but during prohibitions, new meanings sprouted, enigmatic and divine.

Though the progression seemed gradual, it unfolded systematically, collisions leading to melding.

I’ve detected the scent of a decaying spirit.

The real world, on the brink of exhaustion, is ideal nourishment for my family’s ascension.

After traversing numerous epochs, we’ve finally discovered it.

On those blurry ships, whispers reminiscent of ancient gods echoed, accompanied by eyes as indifferent as innate deities observing, ancient and aloof.

Constructed from unknown materials, these ships navigated through chaos and unending Dao storms. Figures standing on the vessels exuded an ancient aura as if they predated the opening of the sky. They remained silent, gazing into the vastness on the horizon.

In the Southern Immortal Domain, within Moon King’s Mansion, Gu Changge sat cross-legged in a tranquil tea pavilion. Clad in pristine white attire and spotless socks, his black hair gleamed with a subtle sheen. Serene and undisturbed, he resembled a gentle breeze and a high-hanging moon.

Before him lay a chessboard, and in his hands, he held white stones that descended with a measured pace. The commotion of the outside world appeared inconsequential, leaving him focused on his pursuits, much like the unfolding chess game.

“It seems you’re on the verge of losing once again,” Gu Changge remarked, shaking his head lightly.

Opposite him, a woman with an aura as pure as a Buddha lotus engaged in the game, her chin resting on her hand. Possessing exquisite beauty, her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, framing a face of diminutive proportions, no larger than a palm.

Her distinctive feature was her unique temperament, a harmonious fusion of demon and Buddha nature.

Husband, can’t you go easy on me?

The woman before him was none other than Heavenly Maiden Tianlu. Having successfully breached the threshold of the immortal realm and endured the immortal calamity, she had ascended to true immortality.

Her cultivation had stagnated in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, making progress elusive. Sensing her proximity to the immortal realm, Gu Changge transported her to the Immortal Realm through the Immortal Passage. He triggered the immortal calamity by exposing her to the laws of the immortal domain.

Having left a mark on Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, he sensed her breakthrough and summoned her from the Heavenly Passage Ancient City to his side.

As the one who guided her to the Immortal Domain, he couldn’t abandon her to roam the realm alone. Though not officially wedded, their status placed Heavenly Maiden Tianlu as his concubine.

Reflecting on these circumstances, Gu Changge found it amusing. “I’ve already sacrificed three pawns,” he continued, shaking his head as he regarded Heavenly Maiden Tianlu. Like Gu Xian’er’s, her audacity did not provoke him to seriousness; he accommodated her whims as needed.

For Gu Changge, the tranquility of such a rare peaceful day felt like a luxury.

“Shouldn’t your husband indulge me as a matter of course?” Heavenly Maiden Tianlu blinked playfully, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

In Gu Changge’s presence, she retained the same teasing demeanor she had displayed in Heavenly Lu City.

Initially, she had sought to bind her life with Gu Changge’s using the Nine Mysteries Body to save Heavenly Lu City. However, Gu Changge remained unmoved, his heart unwavering. It wasn’t until she sought his assistance in avenging her master on the third mountain that their relationship began to ease.

Gu Changge casually picked up a teacup, blowing on it lightly. “I’m contemplating whether I should toss you back to the upper realm,” he said, looking at ease.

Heavenly Maiden Tianlu poured herself a cup of tea, wearing an authentic smile. “Isn’t it boring for the husband to be all alone?”

“It’s only boring for a while; it will get lively soon,” Gu Changge replied, hinting at something. Heavenly Maiden Tianlu didn’t fully grasp his plans, but she sensed that he had significant ambitions.

The current owner of the Moon King Palace, a peerless, immortal king, stood beside Gu Changge, resembling a maidservant, as he prepared tea for him.

Concerned, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu asked, “Will my presence in the Immortal Domain cause any trouble for my husband?”

“There’s no problem, just a little annoying,” Gu Changge replied with a calm shake of his head. Heavenly Maiden Tianlu wondered if he found her annoying or if there was another reason behind his statement.

Smiling, she put her arms around Gu Changge’s neck and settled in his lap. “Does this scene feel familiar, husband?” she inquired, a subtle smile on her lips. She had attempted a similar gesture on the third mountain, only to learn a lesson from Gu Changge.

Moon King, observing from a distance, was stupefied by the scene. His beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. Was this still the taboo existence he had always dreaded and feared?
