Three thousand years within Simulation,
Within a deep, dark part of the universe, a spark—as bright as a star—was flying at a speed that surpassed imagination.
To the advanced civilizations of surrounding planets, it seemed nothing but a comet.
But we—who have the God's Perspective—can clearly perceive that it is not a spaceship, comet, or anything described by these advanced civilizations, but a consciousness, within which the memories of the owner were flashing: memories of his glorious past and tragic yet shameful death.
At this moment, suddenly, as if the consciousness possessed sentience, it began to narrate its life as the images within it changed according to the description.
I, Ye Tianxing, was a dazzling star, so bright that compared to me, prodigies capable of dominating an era single-handedly were nothing but mayflies—which made me arrogant.
In later years, I was bound to the Destined Villain System, which fueled my arrogance even more.
From then on, with the System in hand and Unparalleled Talent as a buff, I walked on the path paved by scattered bones and countless corpses of Protagonists. Be it reincarnation, regression, or resurrection, they all became nothing but stepping stones on my path to greatness.
I killed so many that Heaven began to send groups of Protagonists—equipped with systems—to hunt me down, but this was their worst decision. Because, as I killed more protagonists, my system devoured their systems and I was bestowed with the same abilities as them—which made me an even greater threat to Heaven itself.
But unfortunately, this glory didn't last long, and it ended the day he stepped into the Upper Realm.
At first glance, he seemed like just another usual protagonist, just like many others, who later on was hunted by my protagonist followers.
But it wasn't long after that when I regretted it.
I remember it clearly when he arrived at my doorstep and killed my grandfather—the one I considered God—with just a normal attack. And later, he annihilated everyone of my Ye family. On that day, I died with my eyes wide open.
That day, history was written in black ink, and my Ye family became an example for the world to never provoke that man again—and he became the nightmare of all.
As he finished narrating the story, his sentience returned to calmness and he began to float in a direction at a consistent pace. With passing time, his consciousness became invisible and could no longer be perceived by anyone.
Upper Realm,
Within the domain of the Ye Family, one of the strongest families of the Upper Realm.
That spark—only perceivable to us—entered a room where a young man was practicing and struck the point between his brows, entering his mind. As it entered his brows, he felt a sudden shock, as if electrocuted by the vast memory inside.
Soon, he opened his eyes and muttered a few words, "I didn't expect my future to be like this." He was Ye Tianxing, a renowned and invincible prodigy of the Upper Realm.
"System, did you know it?" He asked the Destined Villain System that had been with him since birth.
[Ding, yes, Host. The heart of the host is mine, so of course, I know it. And knowing the host's personality, this system has already initiated the search for him throughout the universe.]
Having received an answer from the system—and more than anticipated—he uttered, "Good."
This time, he wanted to kill the one who killed him before he even grew up and became a threat to him.
[Ding, the search is completed.]
[Name: Lin Chen.]
[Cultivation: Mahayana Realm.]
[Location: Holy-Sword Sect of Xuantian Realm.]
[Status: Seclusion.]
[Allied Systems: Combat Ranking System and Proficiency Panel.]
Looking at the system panel, Ye Tianxing's eyes began to twitch.
"System, isn't he just so-so? And why does he have systems that never appeared during previous searches?"
"And you possess so much information regarding him. Everything's strange here!"
"Well… we'll discuss it later, just kill him first." Saying this, just as he was about to head for Xuantian Realm, a notification sounded in his mind.
[Destiny Choice System Activated]
[1. Kill Lin Chen.]
[Reward: Combat Ranking System, Proficiency Panel, etc.]
[2. Keep him alive and let him grow.]
[Reward: — A grave is ready, waiting for you.]
"System, I obviously choose one." As he made his choice, he arrived above the Xuantian Realm within no time and roared,
"Lin Chen. You! Should! Die…!"
