Chapter 1

: Starting with a Nascent Soul Ancestor, Activating Daily Intelligence!

In the Eastern Wilderness, in the State of Zhao.

Qingyun Sect, Changsheng Peak.

A faint streak of light tore through the clouds and plunged straight into a cave deep in the back mountains.

Almost at the same moment, atop Qingyun Peak, a stunningly beautiful figure suddenly looked up, gazing towards the forbidden area behind Changsheng Peak.

She was a woman dressed in a moon-white long dress, tall and graceful.

Her beauty was unparalleled, her eyes were like cold stars, her skin was as white as snow, and her temperament was as cold and aloof as ancient ice, keeping people at a distance, as if she were a celestial maiden who did not eat the food of the mortal world.

This person is none other than Gu Qingxue, the current sect leader of the Qingyun Sect.

"Our ancestor will definitely be alright!"

Gu Qingxue gripped the hem of her dress tightly with her delicate hands, a hint of worry flashing in her phoenix eyes.

"It's the Ancestor! The Ancestor has returned!"

"But...why is the ancestor's aura so weak? It's...it's more than ten times weaker than before he left!"

"Could it be that during the trip to Burial Immortal Ridge, the Ancestor...?"

The divine senses of several Golden Core elders converged in the air, filled with astonishment and disbelief.

They dared not cross the line and could only wait anxiously outside the forbidden area.

Inside the cave, it was dark and deathly silent.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on a futon, his once upright and sturdy figure now appearing somewhat hunched.

His long, snow-white hair was disheveled and dull, and his face, which had once dominated the entire cultivation world of Zhao and made countless villains tremble with fear, was now covered with wrinkles and looked old and dejected.

Lu Yuan slowly raised his hand, looking at his dry, cracked palms, like the bark of an old tree. A trace of endless sorrow and resentment flashed in the depths of his cloudy eyes.

But it was quickly replaced by a frenzy and determination that burned everything away.

lost.

Two thousand years of overcoming obstacles, two thousand years of facing death and living on, yet in the end, we still lost to fate.

He was not a native of this world, but a transmigrator from Blue Star. After experiencing many life-and-death trials, he became a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and was revered as the Ancestor of Qingyun. He was also the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire Qingyun Sect.

But time is merciless, and his two thousand years of lifespan are coming to an end, making the path to becoming a god seem distant.

In order to seize that sliver of hope, he ventured alone into the forbidden land of the Eastern Wilderness, the Burial Immortal Ridge, seeking the legendary opportunity to become a deity.

Instead of seizing the opportunity, they encountered a spatial storm.

He paid an extremely heavy price to escape from Burial Immortal Ridge by sheer luck.

Lu Yuan introspected on himself.

Within his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness, his Nascent Soul, which should have been radiant and resonated with heaven and earth, was now dim and lifeless, its small body covered with cracks.

The very foundation that supported his cultivation was riddled with holes by the power of space, filled with an aura of annihilation.

His cultivation level plummeted from the late Nascent Soul stage to the early Nascent Soul stage.

In fact, due to the damage to his Dao foundation, the amount of magic power he can currently use is less than that of an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with a solid foundation.

Even more fatally, his already dwindling lifespan is about to be exhausted by this severe injury.

"Less than three years..."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

He will not sit idly by and wait for death.

Lu Yuan has cultivated for two thousand years, traversing mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He has never believed in fate, nor has he accepted his destiny!

Even if I have to die, I must wipe out the greatest threat to the sect from the world before I die!

In his mind, a figure with a ferocious face and an aura of demonic power appeared.

Beast King Valley, the True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts!

This person and he had a long-standing feud. Five hundred years ago, he personally severed the dragon transformation opportunity of the other party's natal spirit beast, thus cutting off the spirit beast's path to the Nascent Soul stage.

The two sides have long been sworn enemies. In recent years, under the leadership of the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Beasts, Beast King Valley has been eyeing Qingyun Sect covetously and has eroded much of the sect's interests.

Lu Yuan knew very well that once the news of his death spread, the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Beasts would be the first to lead the army of Beast King Valley to raze the Qingyun Sect and slaughter all tens of thousands of disciples to vent his hatred.

He absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!

"Cough cough..." A mouthful of blood with a dark golden hue spilled from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the ground and instantly corroding a deep pit into the hard bluestone floor.

The murderous intent in his eyes grew even more intense.

He has made up his mind.

He burned the remaining nascent soul, sacrificed his last bit of lifespan, and forcibly activated a forbidden secret technique to achieve the ultimate sublimation!

This method allows him to unleash a powerful attack that surpasses his peak strength in an instant, but the price is that he will perish on the spot after the attack.

"Old Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts, on the road to the Yellow Springs, let us... fight one last time to see who prevails!"

Lu Yuan slowly formed hand seals, and the already depleted magical power within his body began to flow backward in a strange way. A destructive aura was brewing deep within his dantian.

Just as he was preparing to unleash this power and rush into a deadly situation where he would perish together with his nemesis.

[Host detected to be on the verge of death, meeting the activation conditions for the Destiny Villain]

[The Destiny Villain Intelligence System is binding successfully!]

A cold, electronic voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Lu Yuan's posture, which was preparing to face death, suddenly froze.

The destructive energy that was about to erupt within him was forcibly stopped due to the violent shock to his mind. The violent backlash of magic caused him to spit out another mouthful of blood, but at this moment, he couldn't care less.

A pale blue light screen appeared before Lu Yuan, floating in mid-air, with lines of cold text slowly emerging on it.

"system?"

Even with his two thousand years of experience, he couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart at this moment.

This golden touch, which was two thousand years overdue, actually arrived at his most desperate moment!

Suppressing his surprise, Lu Yuan stared intently at the information on the screen.

[Destiny Villain Intelligence System]

【Core Feature 1: Daily Intelligence】

Every day at midnight, the system will automatically refresh three random pieces of information. The information levels are divided into: white, green, blue, purple, gold, red, and rainbow, from low to high. The higher the level, the greater the value of the opportunity represented by the information.

【Core Function Two: Intercepting and Returning Winners】

[The host has successfully intercepted the opportunity from the chosen one of destiny. Based on the quality of the opportunity, a critical hit return with a random multiplier will be triggered.]

[Special Note: Successfully seizing the golden intelligence opportunity from the Chosen One may trigger a critical hit return of up to 10,000 times!]

Each successful interception will earn you Fate Points. Fate Points can be used to upgrade the system, increase the minimum quality of daily refreshed intelligence, or consume Fate Points to actively acquire targeted intelligence about specific targets or events.

"Intercepting the chosen one of destiny... the villain of fate..." Lu Yuan muttered to himself, the death wish in his eyes, which was ready to perish together with others, was being replaced by an unprecedented light.

It turns out that there are also so-called protagonists destined for greatness in this world, and I have become their opposite—the villain destined for greatness!

But so what?

The struggle for immortality is a struggle against heaven, earth, and man; it's either you die or I live!

"Hehehe!"

A low laugh echoed in the cave.

"What a chosen villain! In that case, I will trample these so-called chosen ones under my feet and turn them into resources for my return to the peak, and even for my ascension to the immortal path!"

[Ding! Detected that the host's will to survive has been rekindled, meeting the conditions for receiving the newbie gift pack.]

[New player gift pack has been issued: 1 purple intelligence item and 1 gold intelligence item. Please check.]
