Their home was destitute, and he couldn’t afford any herbs from the pharmacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this went on, his mother probably wouldn’t survive the rainy season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he could only brave the heavy rain and climb the mountain to gather medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain shrouded everything, and apart from the sound of falling raindrops, nothing else could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shun held the umbrella and wore a straw hat over his head, cautiously climbing Gloryrise Mountain one step at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he picked every herb he saw, whether useful or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sell them later. The muddy path was hard to walk, and more than once he nearly fell off the mountainside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he fell on a day like this, no one would find his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than an hour of cautious climbing, Zhang Shun finally reached the mountaintop with difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the muddy ground, he lay down from exhaustion, using the umbrella to cover his head and resting for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, when he stood up, his clothes were completely soaked, and he shivered from the cold wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he looked straight ahead at the top of the mountain and froze on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, on the mountaintop, was a statue of a divine dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon was coiled, with a pearl emerging from its mouth, gazing at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was a sculpture, the dragon’s majesty radiated from it. Zhang Shun could feel its powerful presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered clearly, he had come to Gloryrise Mountain many times before, and there had never been a statue like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly walked up to the sculpture. Just as he marveled at the divine craftsmanship and gently reached out to touch it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud rumbling sound came from beneath the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire mountain shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shun, an ordinary person, had never experienced anything like this. Terrified, he turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a few dozen meters, the rumbling stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the original spot where the statue stood, a grand palace had emerged from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated for a long time, but curiosity finally led him back to the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palace was ancient, and its surface made entirely of bronze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bronze temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand doors were tightly shut, with three large characters engraved on them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chaos Heaven Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” Zhang Shun murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked up to the door and gave it a light push. The heavy bronze doors creaked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beam of light flashed from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shun looked toward the source of the light and saw a floating book, and a strange object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know why, but his heart thumped wildly. As if drawn by fate, he stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly approached the book. On its light-purple cover were three bold characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder Sky Codex.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the book and casually flipped through a few pages. To his surprise, it was a cultivation manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human body has twelve meridian gates. The strong can grasp the sun and moon, and walk upon the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the weak can move mountains and ride the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could cultivation really exist in this world?” Zhang Shun murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many mythological stories circulating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most people knew they were legends. So-called temples and monasteries were just places for psychological comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no one had ever truly seen a cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Zhang Shun’s entire worldview was being shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned his gaze toward the other object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sphere of golden light, surrounded by brown iron bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked like iron, but he couldn’t recognize the material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bars intertwined to form a globe that encased the purple light within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the purple glow stood four divine dragon statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragons were about the same size as the purple sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were coiled upward, their heads raised and mouths slightly open, as if the purple light had been spat out and condensed by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the four dragons encircling the purple orb, Zhang Shun recalled an ancient mythological story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God World had its own myths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pangu creating the heavens, Nuwa creating humans, Kuafu chasing the sun, Hou Yi shooting the suns...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the object before him reminded him of the mythological artifact, the Chaos Heaven Instrument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend said that in ancient times, there was a beast who could understand the stars above and all things below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was massive, over a hundred meters long, with a back like a turtle shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carved on its back were the stars and constellations, the sun and moon, moving in real time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This beast rarely appeared, but wherever it did, chaos would follow. Heaven and earth would reverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, the beast ascended to the heavens and became a god, leaving its body behind in the human world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand years later, a dragon-turtle sage emerged, known as the Dragon-Turtle Immortal, master of profound arts. He acquired the beast’s body and refined it over a thousand years, creating the Chaos Heaven Instrument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend said this device could alter the six directions of the world. It could ensnare beings, gradually absorbing their souls. It was extremely sinister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shun stared at the divine artifact and cultivation manual before him and burst into wild laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, across the God World, many others were experiencing what Zhang Shun did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some acquired cultivation manuals. Others found mythical pills and elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still others discovered legacies from legendary figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, all kinds of techniques and meridian arts began to appear across Shenzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the topic of mythological revival swept the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God World had entered the most chaotic cultivation era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo, watching from a god’s perspective, observed it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had laid the foundation for this era. How it developed from here, he would not interfere, as long as no one broke the rules of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the revival of spiritforce, all living beings entered the path of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall power of the world underwent a qualitative transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the God World was Xu Zimo’s True Fate World, he naturally benefited the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His True Fate was different from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the world became, the stronger he became. His True Fate didn’t require cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was even harder than cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the cultivation era stabilized and geniuses began to rise like bamboo shoots after the rain, Xu Zimo would then begin preparations for Heaven’s Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that age was still far off, and he had much to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xu Zimo sat cross-legged on Chaos’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of the Power of Creation were refining his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A body that could cross the void and face calamity head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-06-06T01:06:58.053Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c0f01491341cd7c3e89b7a7d478826f17976b8e0a9534853f46a4a69a554618","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-826","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-824",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
