In the space where he stood, time and space itself shattered and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions boomed across the world as if the fabric of reality were crumbling. Below, living beings fled like headless ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man looked down at them all, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual lift of his hand, the demonic aura around him swirled, and a massive continent was instantly crushed and sunk into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this man, the entire world was merely a toy. All living creatures were no more than insignificant ants in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood rain poured from the skies. Suffering covered the land. All of creation whimpered and trembled under the man's oppressive presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone sprinted past Jiang Mochou, and he instinctively tried to grab them, only to find that his hand passed through their body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t in the same space at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is merely a recorded image,” the Lord of Nihility sighed. “More accurately, this scene happened a very, very long time ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Mochou fell silent and gazed at the devastated world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The land was ravaged and bloody. The man above treated the world like a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the power of life and death over all beings. Everything rose and fell at the whim of his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bastard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man crawled from a pool of blood, roaring at the sky in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men, women, the elderly, children, none were spared. They became a mountain of corpses beneath the demon's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life was meaningless, and this carnage lasted for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, in the face of extinction, the last survivors of the continent united to form the Alliance Against the Demon Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle raged on for ten thousand years. After countless near-death struggles, they finally sealed the Demon Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the sealing, greed and conflict erupted among those who had saved the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quarreled over glory, territory, and power, and the alliance broke apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those former “heroes” who had sealed the Demon Sovereign began to war among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the cataclysmic war against the Demon Sovereign, the world was already on the brink of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now new conflicts erupted, and the world simply couldn’t take any more…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth reshuffled. The old era perished, and a new epoch began to form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the karmic cycle in the illusion finished playing out, Jiang Mochou's consciousness returned to the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you show me that?” Jiang Mochou asked, puzzled. “Didn’t it already end?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” the Lord of Nihility replied. “The Demon Sovereign isn’t dead. That disaster will happen again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want me to kill the Demon Sovereign?” Jiang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not alone. You’ll be one part of a larger plan,” said the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why me?” Jiang narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sensed the awakening of the Scarlet Flame Imperial Physique. Anyone who possesses it has the qualifications,” the elder replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Mochou was silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is the Demon Sovereign now?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He hasn’t emerged yet,” the elder said. “This is just preparation. When that day arrives,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why not find and kill him now, before he grows stronger?” Jiang asked, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I already know who he is,” the Lord of Nihility sighed. “But I can’t act… nor can I tell you. These are the rules, and I cannot break them. One day, you’ll understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang fell silent again, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know this is a heavy burden for you,” the Lord of Nihility said gently. “Take your time to think it over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang nodded slowly and turned to walk back into the thatched hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Nihility watched him go, then looked up at the azure sky, murmuring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Demon Sovereign descends, and heaven bleeds. Yet vast heavens, do you care for the hearts of men?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned away, stepping toward the base of the Immortal Mountain. With a single step, spiritforce surged, and his figure disappeared into the white mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the base of the Immortal Mountain, the terrain was steep, the cliffs sheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the boundless ocean, this mountain was the only feature here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though majestic and awe-inspiring, even the grand mountain became mundane when stared at too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before a massive boulder at the foot of the mountain, a man sat cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long hair was now snow-white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was deep, meditative, and he remained perfectly still in meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space before him began to ripple. The Lord of Nihility appeared with a step through the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man frowned slightly, glanced at him, then closed his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you hold resentment,” the elder said with a chuckle. “If you want to leave this place, now you have a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man slowly opened his eyes. His gaze erupted with overwhelming spear intent, staring directly at the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the price?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave the Infinite Immortal Mountain, and find someone for me,” said the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The inheritor of the Second Battle Physique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Second Battle Physique?” he echoed, then asked, “Where do I look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know. But you have a hundred years. If you haven’t found them by then, you’ll be imprisoned here forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the Lord of Nihility vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stared into the vast void, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been trapped at the base of the Infinite Immortal Mountain for a century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered when he was full of youthful ambition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a rogue cultivator, he had gained some fame on the Middle Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he heard about the Infinite Immortal Mountain, one of the Ten Forbidden Grounds, hidden within the Infinite Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said to be perilous, but home to immortals. If one could gain their favor, the future would be limitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing how difficult the rogue path was, he gambled everything on that one chance, and entered the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, reality was cruel. He saw the mountain, and he saw the immortals, but failed to earn their recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much he begged, it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a trespasser of the Immortal Mountain, he was imprisoned at its foot, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, a path opened in the mist before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into the air, Imperial Meridian Realm power roaring around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved forward, further and further away from the Infinite Immortal Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>",1086,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","40ac9b012f61a3c9deb6320df41df0a0ddd39840e688959dc90f89abac87e17d","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-186","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-184",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
