Lin Yu woke up with a splitting headache and found himself lying on a large gilded bed inlaid with night pearls. Under the carved dome, nine jade - carved coiled dragons hung, each claw grasping a fist - sized gemstone that refracted colorful halos.
"Is this... a film and television city?" He propped himself up, only to find that he was wearing a moon - white brocade robe, and the jade pendants around his waist clinked crisply as they collided. Even more strangely, unfamiliar memories kept flooding into his mind - he had become the Third Prince of the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty in the Nine Heavens Domain, that dissipated playboy known for his brutality.
Scenes flashed through his mind: massacring commoners to seize a jade pendant at the age of three, poisoning and disabling a genius during a competition at ten, and slaughtering all the members of a sect branch after failing to forcibly abduct a saintess at sixteen... Lin Yu felt a churning in his stomach. This was definitely a villain's script!
"Ding - "
A mechanical sound suddenly exploded in his mind, startling him so much that he almost rolled off the bed.
[The Super Villain System has been successfully bound]
[The host is detected to be in the villain's camp. A newbie gift package is being issued.]
[You have obtained the Chaos Saint Physique (already fused).]
[You have obtained the Earth - Rank Cultivation Technique "Chaos Overbearing Body Art".]
[You have obtained 1000 initial villain points (the mall has been activated).]
Lin Yu stared at the floating virtual panel and suddenly grinned. He circulated the "Chaos Overbearing Body Art" and felt the surging spiritual power in his body - this physical body could directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without the need for cultivation transformation.
"This system is quite straightforward," he murmured to himself while absorbing the original owner's memories. Massacring a family for a jade pendant at three, poisoning and disabling a genius at ten, and slaughtering a saintess's sect at sixteen... These dark pasts made him gasp in surprise.
"Since I'm going to be a villain, I'll be the most arrogant one," a hint of cruelty flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.
[You are born extraordinary, surpassing ordinary people, but you are not yet a competent villain.]
[A real villain should have a terrifying aura. Wherever he goes, the Saint Sons should bow their heads, and the Dao Ancestors should kneel on the ground.]
[A real villain should trample on dragons and phoenixes, carry precious treasures, and make everyone tremble when his name is mentioned.]
[A real villain should hunt for luck, snatch the protagonist's fortune, integrate it into himself, and dominate through the ages.]
[Please complete the following tasks to get familiar with the identity of a villain.]

Just then, an announcement came from outside the hall: "Ye Lingxiao requests an audience!"
Lin Yu's pupils shrank slightly. This was the first Child of Heavenly Luck marked by the system (Heavenly Luck Points: 1000/1000). He stood up and deliberately released the pressure of the Chaos Saint Physique. The guards in the hall instantly knelt on the ground.
"Let him in," Lin Yu lazily leaned on the throne, with chaotic spiritual energy condensing at his fingertips.
The moment Ye Lingxiao stepped into the hall, the bronze sword at his waist suddenly let out a shrill scream. This sword - path genius's face changed drastically. He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if the entire palace was rejecting him.
"Why did the Third Prince summon me here?" Ye Lingxiao forced himself to cup his hands. The golden patterns slipping from his cuffs indicated that the sword spirit was awakening.
Lin Yu suddenly raised his hand, and the chaotic spiritual energy transformed into a giant palm and slapped towards Ye Lingxiao. The bronze sword automatically protected its master but cracked inch by inch under the chaotic power. Ye Lingxiao staggered, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he took several steps back in a sorry state.
[It is detected that Ye Lingxiao, the Child of Heavenly Luck, has lost 200 Heavenly Luck Points (currently 800/1000).]
[You have obtained 500 Villain Points (task reward).]
Lin Yu looked at the system prompt with satisfaction. He walked up to Ye Lingxiao, looking down at him from a height, and sneered, "Remember, in front of this prince, you don't even have the qualification to draw your sword."
Ye Lingxiao's face was livid, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of humiliation and unwillingness. But under Lin Yu's powerful aura, he didn't dare to resist after all. He gritted his teeth, hold back the anger and pain, and turned to leave.
Lin Yu noticed a new crack on his sword's tassel - that was a sign that the sword spirit was being suppressed.
[It is detected that the host has completed the first kill (a significant suppression of the Child of Heavenly Luck is regarded as the first kill). A hidden task is triggered.]
[Task: Subdue Lin Qingxue with the Ice Spirit Physique (within three days)
Reward: Ice Soul Cold Light Sword (a fragment of an Immortal Artifact), 500 Heavenly Luck Points]
Lin Yu looked in the direction where Ye Lingxiao had left, and a wicked smile curved his lips. He murmured to himself, "This path as a villain has just begun." Then, his gaze fell on the task of subduing Lin Qingxue on the system panel, and he already had a plan in mind.
