C6 Preparation!

"Hmph, this is the price for opposing me. You'll die even if death isn't what you seek." Yuwen Tian stood suspended in the void, lightning crackling around him, appearing like a thunder god bathed in a storm of electricity.

"Senior Brother Yuwen Tian truly is the pride of Heaven Sect. Who else can match his presence?" The disciples of Heaven Sect marveled, utterly impressed by his display.

With a cool and detached gaze, Yuwen Tian surveyed the Heaven Sect disciples around him. His aura of arrogance and dominance was unmistakable, prompting those who caught his eye to quickly lower their heads, unable to hold his piercing stare.

"Haha!" With a burst of unrestrained laughter, Yuwen Tian vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Ding! Host has killed Ming Hui. Reward: 20 villain's points."

"What the heck, only 20 villain's points?" Yuwen Tian was baffled. "System, is there some mistake? Ming Hui is stronger than Lin Fann. Killing Lin Fann netted me 100 villain's points."

"Please do not question the system's judgment. The amount of villain's points earned is not directly proportional to the strength of the person killed."

At Heaven Sect's Tian Feng, a messenger was tasked with summoning Yuwen Tian to meet with the Grand Elder.

Yuwen Tian didn't dare to delay, promptly making his way to the Supreme Palace. After all, the Grand Elder was his most powerful patron within Heaven Sect.

The Grand Elder, Xuan Ji, had a complexion as delicate as a newborn's, her entire being enshrouded in a veil of mystery, radiating an aura of inscrutable divine authority.

"Damn, truly worthy of being Heaven Sect's ultimate weapon—utterly inscrutable," Yuwen Tian thought to himself with a mix of awe and trepidation.

Muttering a complaint under his breath, he approached and bowed with deep respect.

"Ah, you've arrived. Your cultivation has reached the first level of the Violet Palace Realm, impressive indeed. You are truly the pride of Heaven Sect," Xuan Ji remarked, her eyes gleaming with insight as she effortlessly discerned Yuwen Tian's true capabilities.

"Now that you've attained the Violet Palace Realm, it's time for you to become the Holy Son of Heaven of our sect," Xuan Ji declared gravely. "In three months, our sect will select the Holy Son of Heaven. At that time, aside from Yang Dingtian, you should have no rivals."

"Yes, I will work hard," Yuwen Tian said with reverence.

"Mm-hmm." Tai Xuanji gestured dismissively, and Yuwen Tian respectfully took his leave.

Upon returning to Heavenly Peak, Yuwen Tian mused, "Only three months remain. With the Supreme Elder's backing, securing the title of Holy Son of Heaven is almost a certainty."

The thought brought a sly grin to his face.

Securing the position of Holy Son of Heaven meant he would be the next Sect Master of the Heaven Sect, wielding immense power and access to far greater cultivation resources than he currently possessed.

Yang Dingtian had become insignificant to Yuwen Tian. His ambition now was to reign over the Heaven Sect, elevate it to the most formidable power in the Mirage Sea Realm, and then harness all the realm's resources to maximize his strength.

"The Mirage Sea Realm is merely a stepping stone for me. My ultimate aim is to become the arch-villain of all worlds," Yuwen Tian resolved with unyielding determination.

"System, I currently have a total of 120 villain's points, correct?" Yuwen Tian inquired.

"Correct."

"How many villain's points are required for me to travel to another world?"

"The number of villain's points needed varies with each world's level. The higher the world's level, the more points are required."

"So, which world can I travel to with my current 120 villain's points?"

"To transmigrate to any other world, you must circumvent that world's Heavenly Dao, which means even the lowest-level worlds require at least 1000 villain's points."

"Additionally, a friendly reminder: The longer your stay in another world, the more villain's points you'll expend. Keep in mind, time flows differently across worlds. A year in a lower-level world might equate to just a single day in a higher-level one." The enigmatic voice of the Villain System echoed in Yuwen Tian's mind.

"Really? That's quite advantageous. I could exploit the time difference for training. However, my current tally of villain's points is insufficient," Yuwen Tian said, furrowing his brow.

Hu entered and briefed Yuwen Tian, "Young master, I've gathered some intel on Yang Dingtian's elder brother, the enigmatic Yang Fann. It appears he too intends to vie for the title of Holy Son of Heaven in three months' time."

"Yang Fann? The strongest true disciple from the previous generation?" Yuwen Tian's brow furrowed slightly. "Is he still eligible to compete for the title of Holy Son of Heaven?"

"I've heard that the Devil Sky Sect has been showing signs of a resurgence, making this selection for the Holy Son of Heaven especially critical. As a result, the criteria have been somewhat relaxed. The sect's rules state that any true disciple under thirty can enter the competition, and Yang Fann just turned thirty, so he qualifies," Hu explained.

The Devil Sky Sect?

Yuwen Tian was aware that this sect was notoriously malevolent, resorting to any means to bolster their power. They were part of the demonic cults and used to be the most formidable sect in the Mirage Sea Realm. However, they had fallen into decline a century ago after being suppressed by the forces of good.

"What level of power does Yang Fann possess now?" Yuwen Tian inquired.

"The word is that Yang Fann has reached the fourth tier of the Violet Palace Realm and has exceptional combat abilities," Hu relayed all the intelligence he had gathered.

Yuwen Tian's frown deepened upon hearing this. A former strongest Core Disciple now at the fourth tier of the Violet Palace Realm was a force to be reckoned with, and he knew he was not his match at present.

Yuwen Tian believed his talent was on par with Yang Fann's, but the difference lay in their cultivation time. At only twenty years old, he had ten fewer years of cultivation compared to Yang Fann.

"This complicates things. Securing the position of Holy Son of Heaven is crucial for me to assert dominance over the Heaven Sect and access greater cultivation resources," Yuwen Tian mused, his brow creased in thought. He gestured for Hu to leave; it was time to devise a strategy.

"Ah, but I have the villain's points system. If I can travel to other lower-level worlds and exploit the time difference for cultivation, I could gain several more years of training," Yuwen Tian's expression eased.

A sinister smile crept across his lips. It looked like he was ready to embrace his role as the villain.

Yuwen Tian sought out Jing Yuzhu.

"Senior Brother Yuwen Tian, what brings you here?" Jing Yuzhu exclaimed, her beautiful face lighting up with a joyous smile.

"What, can't I drop by for a visit without a reason?" Yuwen Tian's lips curled into a smile, radiating an irresistibly wicked charm.

That aura made Jing Yuzhu's heart flutter uncontrollably, pounding like a startled deer.

Instinctively, Jing Yuzhu moved closer to Yuwen Tian, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Haha!" Yuwen Tian burst into laughter and swept Jing Yuzhu off her feet, carrying her to the bed. A passionate encounter ensued.

The next morning, Jing Yuzhu's fair and lovely face was flushed with a rosy hue, her skin even more tender than before.

"Senior brother Yuwen Tian, what has become of Lin Fann now?" Jing Yuzhu asked, fully nestled in Yuwen Tian's embrace, her delicate skin blushing a soft red.

Yuwen Tian caressed Jing Yuzhu's lustrous black hair, unconcerned as he replied, "That fool Lin Fann didn't appreciate what he had. Naturally, I took care of him."

At these words, Jing Yuzhu tensed up in Yuwen Tian's arms, her reaction noticeably awkward.

"What's the matter? You're not still hung up on Lin Fann, are you?" Yuwen Tian's voice was icy.

Feeling his displeasure, Jing Yuzhu grew anxious and quickly reassured him, "Of course not. I haven't had any connection with Lin Fann for a long time. Actually, I never really had any relationship with him at all."

With that, Jing Yuzhu clung even tighter to Yuwen Tian, as if terrified he might slip away from her.

Satisfied, Yuwen Tian smirked, "Haha, Lin Fann is nothing but an insignificant ant in my eyes. Squashing him was almost too easy."

"Right, senior brother Yuwen Tian, you are the true chosen one. Lin Fann is nothing in comparison," Jing Yuzhu agreed, careful not to upset Yuwen Tian further.

"Haha!" Yuwen Tian's laughter rang out unrestrained as he once again enveloped Jing Yuzhu's supple form.

Later that day, a buoyant Yuwen Tian left with a hearty laugh. Jing Yuzhu watched his retreating figure, her eyes brimming with adoration.

Having secured Jing Yuzhu's loyalty, Yuwen Tian now faced the distasteful task of betraying her. He planned to provoke her mercilessly and then discard her. Such actions would undoubtedly earn him a substantial amount of villain's points. As he stroked his chin, a wicked smile played across his face at the thought.

Yuwen Tian's current objective was to rapidly amass 1000 villain's points. With these points, he could traverse to a lower realm, where he could take advantage of the temporal discrepancies to enhance his cultivation, thereby closing the gap between himself and Yang Fann.
