Chapter 2 The: Villain System

Nan Xian, having absorbed the original body’s memories, was lightly rubbing her temples, sitting on Xueluan.

The Soul Martial World had three thousand continents, and the Sky Realm belonged to the topmost Immortal Realm among the three thousand worlds.

Leaving aside the small matters, the most noteworthy were the six top powers of the Sky Realm:

One Palace, Two Families, Three Sacred Sects.

The Wujiji Palace, which set and maintained the rules and order of the continent, was supreme and unchallengeable.

The Nanrong ancient clan, the holy land of Longnan Biyao and the newly risen Nan clan from the endless place.

And the Guiyuan Sacred Sect, Xuanling Yuanzong, and Yan Yue Xianzong, which encompassed the geniuses of the Sky Realm.

These major powers weren’t exactly at odds, but they generally looked down on each other, secretly vying for dominance and suppressing each other.

The Nan family she belonged to had risen to power five hundred years ago due to the emergence of a Soul Saint, making them stand out among the other five major powers with a history of tens of thousands of years.

The Nan family’s position was awkward. They were several times stronger than ordinary powers, but compared to the five ancient clans, they were at the bottom of the rankings and didn’t even count. It was as if they were… a self-proclaimed top power.

The “Six Dynasty Martial Arts Tournament” just now was a continent-level competition held by the Wujiji Palace, assisted by the two families and three sects, held once every ten years. It was a way to showcase the strength of each family to the continent and see if they could recruit disciples during the competition.

In other words, it was to tell other powers: See? We are the masters, don’t try anything funny.

Especially after the emergence of the Nan family, the supervision of other powers became even stricter, fearing the emergence of another powerful family like the Nan family, quietly growing strong.

However, looking at the current situation, since the Nan family’s ancestral patriarch died a year ago, the other five powers had been suppressing the Nan family more and more openly. If it weren’t for her, a genius with an “awakened ninth-grade golden-level martial soul,” they might have brought their suppression out into the open.

Nan Xian sighed, feeling the weak soul power in her body.

“System, what about the original owner?”

Host and the original owner are the same person in parallel worlds. It just so happens that both of you died at the same time, so it’s considered a soul exchange.

“Can we switch back?”

No, you can’t.

Cheer up! You are her, and she is you. The same person, equivalent to experiencing two lives, or rather, you were originally from this world. The Nan family’s ancestor could predict the future, otherwise, he wouldn’t have let you, with a yellow-level martial soul, disguise yourself as a ninth-grade genius.

Nan Xian couldn’t help but think of the brain flowers that were frozen in the experimental device when she died. She nodded and said, “When I read web novels in the past, I was very curious about the systems in them. Are your systems artificial intelligence programmed by humans? Can you show me your program?”

The system became agitated. Host, can you have some normal thoughts? As a transmigrator, shouldn’t you be curious about my function?

“Oh, tell me about it.”

A character panel popped up in front of Nan Xian:

Host: Nan Xian

Villain Points: -2000

Lifespan: 15/15 Warning: 3 days left

Martial Soul: Xin Moli Third-Grade Yellow-Level

Cultivation: Qi Martial Realm 6/10

Physique: None

Soul Artifact: Seventh-Grade Bodhi Handheld Conceals Cultivation, Eighth-Grade Storage Ring Various Resources

Special Item: Supreme Treasure Chest

The system started talking incessantly in her mind:

This system is called Cosmic Chaos, Heaven and Earth, Four Seas and Eight Deserts… First Destiny Villain System, born to create the greatest villain in the world! Host, as long as you complete the system’s tasks, you can obtain various rewards, such as strengthening your soul power,

Nan Xian interrupted the system, her gaze fixed on the three-day lifespan:

“Stop. Why can I only live for three days? If my memory is correct, Qi Martial Realm should be able to live for at least two hundred years, and didn’t you just reward me with a year of lifespan? And what about those deducted villain points?”

Host, you’ve already died. It’s the system keeping you alive. You don’t have two hundred years, honey. Qin Chen, as the protagonist of destiny, even without awakening, possesses three thousand destiny points. Host, you killed him, so naturally, you have to deduct three thousand villain points accordingly.

To prevent the host from accumulating too much debt, the system has already used a year of lifespan to offset one thousand villain points and given you an additional three days of lifespan.

Finally, it added: Host, you still owe this system two thousand villain points. If the debt reaches a certain amount, the system will reclaim everything it has given you, including but not limited to life, martial soul, and resources.

Nan Xian rubbed her temples, her head aching. “Let me think about this.”

“So, I can’t just kill people as a villain?”

It’s good enough that you have a second chance to live. Besides, since this system is bound to you, we rise and fall together, so naturally, I will help you. Moreover, as long as you have enough villain points, you can kill whoever you want.

“According to the routine I’ve seen in web novels, I gain villain points by stealing the protagonist’s destiny, slapping the protagonist in the face, or conquering or killing the protagonist, and I get the corresponding villain points?”

Host, you’re smart.

Nan Xian nodded. Since she had a chance to live, she would naturally use every means to survive. The world was cruel, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Her past experiences had taught her that no one or anything was as important as herself.

Besides, it sounded better than those who wouldn’t kill the protagonist without draining all their destiny points, only to suffer retribution from Heaven. She would take what she could and kill who she had to.

Nan Xian looked at the bottom of the character panel, the Supreme Treasure Chest she had just been rewarded with.

According to the ten grades of martial souls in the Soul Martial World: First Grade Red Level, Second Grade Orange Level, Third Grade Yellow Level, Fourth Grade Green Level, Fifth Grade Blue Level, SixthG rade Purple Level, Seventh Grade White Level, Eighth Grade Gold Level, Ninth-Grade Supreme Level, Tenth Grade Supreme-Level.

Treasure chests are divided into ten types accordingly. Tenth-Grade Supreme Treasure Chest can open: Tenth-Grade Soul Artifact, Tenth-Grade Martial Soul, Tenth-Grade Immortal Beast, Tenth-Grade Immortal Pill…

Since this is the host’s first time opening a chest, you can specify the type of service you want. Friendly reminder, a Supreme Treasure Chest is worth two hundred million villain points. Please choose carefully.

Two hundred million!! How many protagonists of destiny would that be worth?

External things were still external things: “I want a martial soul.”

Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Tenth-Grade Supreme Martial Soul: Longdi Qingping Le Clear and Peaceful Melody Flute.

Nan Xian felt a warmth in her chest, and she clearly felt a transparent bone emitting a lustrous glow suddenly appear in her body. Inside, she could vaguely see a small jade flute, with the words ‘Qingping Le’ at the end, diligently absorbing soul power.

Next to it, there was a small bone emitting a pale yellow glow, containing a pure white jasmine flower. Compared to the flute, it absorbed soul power at the speed of a turtle.

Normal humans have 206 bones. Having two more such beautiful bones in her body made Nan Xian want to dissect them.

Qingping Le, Supreme-Level Instrument Martial Soul, congratulations to the host.

Martial souls in the Soul Martial World are divided into five categories: Instrument Martial Souls, Plant Martial Souls, Animal Martial Souls, Special Martial Souls, and Mutated Martial Souls.

The realms are divided into…

Tent level

The first six realms focus on martial arts: Warrior Realm, Qi Martial Realm, Spirit Martial Realm, Xuanwu Realm, True Martial Realm, and Heaven Martial Realm.

The last four realms focus on soul power: Soul King Realm, Soul Master Realm, Soul Saint Realm, and Soul Emperor Realm.

Each realm is divided into ten stages.

The quality of a martial soul largely determines one’s future achievements. Currently, apart from the Nan family, the other five ancient powers each have two or three Soul Saints.

These Soul Saints haven’t awakened ninth-grade golden-level martial souls, they are all eighth-grade white-level quality. They can only advance further through the accumulation of various resources, and even if they break through, they can only stop at the lower stages of Soul Saint.

Therefore, everyone is so wary of Nan Xian, a genius who awakened a “ninth-grade golden-level martial soul.”

Nan Xian flipped her hand, and a jade flute condensed from soul power appeared in her hand.

Each realm corresponds to a set of cultivation techniques. She is currently only at the second realm, Qi Martial Realm, so she can only use two martial soul skills of Qingping Le.

The man she killed just now… “System, how old was Qin Chen when I killed him?”

Forty-three.

“Old geezer, he was still greedy for my fifteen-year-old body, and he could still be the protagonist?”

Cultivation determines the upper limit of age. Under one hundred years old, they are all considered young. Qin Chen’s original trajectory: Cultivate to the Soul King Realm, be assassinated, and then his remnant soul falls into the body of an infant in the lower realm, reborn to achieve a comeback.

“He will be reborn?”

Not now. True Martial Realm cultivators cannot cultivate a divine soul.

“Keep an eye out for me along the way, are there any protagonists of destiny?”

There are protagonists of destiny everywhere in this world, host, you don’t need to worry.

So, from the Wujiji Palace in the Middle Continent where the Six Dynasty Martial Arts Tournament was held to the tens of thousands of miles to the Endless place, she didn’t see a single protagonist of destiny, and instead, she consumed another half-day of lifespan.

Host, don’t be discouraged. The Endless place where the Nan family is located is so vast, there will be protagonists.

Don’t believe you for a second.
