I Truly Am The Villian

As Xu Zimei’s voice faded, the Great Dao of the Divine Continent incarnated as the Eye of the Great Dao.

Ripples spread through space, and an eye appeared in the depths of the void.

This eye observed the entire world, with time flowing backward within its gaze, as though everything were being retraced before it.

Every blade of grass and every movement of any creature on the Divine Continent could not escape the scrutiny of the Eye of the Great Dao.

It traced back to the source, spanning tens of thousands of years or even longer. Since the establishment of the Divine Continent was not that long ago, it only took a moment for the Eye of the Great Dao to locate the Great Saint Body.

After Xu Zimei had thrown the Great Saint Body in, it had been picked up by the natives of this world.

Having obtained all the information, Xu Zimei descended onto the Divine Continent.

The Divine Continent had experienced two eras, from the Era of Ruins to the Primitive Era.

During this era, organisms gradually adapted to survive and began to form a hierarchy among themselves.

Those who could not adapt slowly moved toward death.

Animals were still the rulers of this world, with a small portion of humans beginning to try hunting them.

But most humans were still in the most primitive era, without fixed abodes, not knowing how to cultivate or domesticate.

Their food was all Born from Heaven and Raised by Earth, and at this time, there was very little communication between humans, without the emergence of powers or states.

Although it’s said that where there are people, there’s a society, in this vast world, humans were just a Drop in the Ocean, and real wars were still far away.

......

Mountains had no names, lands had no names, and real writing had not yet appeared, making communication among humans extremely difficult.

In the midst of a vast mountain range, a family of four was traveling with difficulty.

They were a family: a father, a mother, and a pair of children.

The four of them moved forward while collecting food encountered along the way, not minding whether it was raw or cooked, and rarely speaking, occasionally shouting a few times.

When Xu Zimei walked step by step from ahead, the four looked at him with curiosity.

Due to the language barrier, Xu Zimei smiled, pointed at the little girl’s pocket, and made a gesture.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then took out a golden monkey statue.

After the Great Saint Body had fallen into this world, it was occasionally picked up by the little girl as a toy.

"I’ll trade this for that," Xu Zimei took out a very thick book, pointed to it, and gestured a desire to exchange.

The girl hesitated, but eventually handed the Golden Monkey Statue to Xu Zimei.

The moment they received the book, the four looked at the paper book and the strange patterns on it, somewhat transfixed.

This book, which Xu Zimei had prepared in advance, contained content in the form of words and patterns.

It was an enlightening book, teaching humans how to cultivate and recognize medicinal herbs.

It also covered common knowledge about fire, weather, and the four seasons.

Xu Zimei intended to use these four as a breakthrough to let them spread this knowledge to the world.

In fact, even if Xu Zimei did not assist, humans would gradually figure it out over a few hundred years.

However, Xu Zimei was not willing to wait that long; giving appropriate help also had its benefits.

Moreover, once all the creatures had sufficiently explored the world, Xu Zimei was ready to initiate the revival of Spiritual Energy.

Advancing the era from the Primitive to the Great Cultivation Era.

The four were deeply attracted by the contents of the book, and although they did not quite understand the meaning of the words, the patterns perfectly conveyed their meanings.

When the four looked up again, they realized that Xu Zimei had already vanished, and they were instantly awestruck as if beholding a Heavenly Being.

......…

After obtaining the statue of the Great Saint Body, Xu Zimei looked at the statue in his hands and said, "Well? Are you still not planning to come out?"

"Where is this?" The statue shimmered with golden light, and a voice emanated from it, which belonged to the Heaven-reaching Great Saint of the Void Spirit Monkey.

"You don’t need to know that much," Xu Zimei said indifferently.

"But since you’ve come here, you no longer have any chance to escape."

"Even if you’ve captured my body, you can’t possess my heart," the Heaven-reaching Great Saint shouted from within the statue.

Xu Zimei smiled without saying a word and brought the statue to the Myriad Demons Tribe.

"Chaos, this fellow is now yours to train," Xu Zimei said as he tossed the Golden Monkey Statue in.

"Don’t worry, Master," Chaos smiled, waved a huge hand, and called out, "Brothers, come out and welcome the newcomer."

Having left the Divine Continent, Xu Zimei’s consciousness returned to his own body.

The gentle breeze of the courtyard blew softly while Jiuyou was practicing in the nearby pavilion.

Her body was surrounded by surging golden light, which seemed to be the Divine Power she had mentioned; space rippled around her, and her entire being appeared to merge with the surrounding space.

Everything was exceptionally quiet.

Before long, Jiang Changsheng walked in from outside.

"Senior Brother," Jiang Changsheng greeted with a smile, holding a thick notebook in his hands.

"What brings you here?" Xu Zimei inquired.

Jiuyou also slightly opened her eyes, withdrawing from her meditative state.

"I’ve compiled a brief list of the people attending the Nine Skies Convention this time, and I’ve come to report some noteworthy individuals to you," Jiang Changsheng said.

Ever since Xu Zimei had slain the Green Jiao, he had felt that Xu Zimei was extraordinarily remarkable.

Thinking to cling tightly to this powerful support, he didn’t need to be cunning or sly, for effort always paid off.

"Since there’s nothing else happening right now, there’s no harm in listening," Xu Zimei nodded and replied.

"Besides the Imperial Heir of our Great Skies Peak, you need to be cautious about the Imperial Heirs from the other Eight Veins."

Jiang Changsheng flipped through the materials in his hand and began to introduce them.

"The Imperial Heir of Green Skies Peak is called Yan Song. You should know about him; he’s arrogant and domineering, but his strength is formidable.

It is said that he has already cultivated the Nine Skies Sacred Scripture to the fourth level.

Another one is from Scenic Skies; their Imperial Heir, Qi Ye, specializes in music, born with six fingers. Though he rarely takes action, the rumor goes that one hears his sound but never sees his person, and then a head falls to the ground," Jiang Changsheng detailed.

"Interesting," Xu Zimei said with a smile.

"There’s also Yu Changlong, the Imperial Heir of Jade Skies, who is rumored to have only practiced the Heaven’s Expanse Lifebearing Blade Technique since childhood.

His comprehension of the Blade Technique has reached the thirty-sixth level. No one among the younger generation of our Nine Skies can outdo him with the blade.

Among the Nine Veins, though the nine Imperial Heirs have never openly competed, in terms of reputation and popularity,

Shen Yu of Divine Skies is the one who stands out."

"Shen Yu? Does he have any special qualities?" Xu Zimei asked curiously.

"I’m not quite sure, but he’s very strong. It’s said that even the Elders of Divine Skies show him great respect," Jiang Changsheng replied.

"What about Shen Lang, the one who tried to steal my maid, known as the First Blade of Green Skies?" Xu Zimei asked with interest.

"He’s also very strong. It’s said he once competed with Yan Song for the position of Imperial Heir and later had his limbs broken, taking a long time to recover," Jiang Changsheng explained.
