It began to circle joyfully around the pillar of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Xu Zimo’s entire body floated in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not control his body, for his consciousness was drawn into a new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood frozen as one magnificent voice after another resounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao of Life and Death, profound and mysterious as the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The life and death of man are mutually transformative, the cyclical flow of heaven and earth’s single breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every moment, every second, exists within the transformations between life and death, death and life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each utterance, countless words poured into Xu Zimo’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after a long time did he open his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his gaze swirled two colors, black and white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao of Life and Death is one of the most important branch of the Grand Dao of Yin-Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things under heaven cannot escape yin and yang, life and death, water and fire, large and small, black and white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything exists in relative opposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And life and death are the most indispensable origins of all species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the legendary transcendent beings who, by opening the twelve meridian gates, achieve immortality and eternal life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All living beings are bound by birth, aging, sickness, and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Put simply, in every moment of your existence, you are both living and dying at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo slowly stretched out his hand. The Codex of Life and Death, accompanied by the Brush of Life and Death, flew toward him from the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying dense life-and-death energy, they floated before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Codex of Life and Death and the Brush of Life and Death are paired artifacts. Without one, the other cannot be used to its full power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Codex of Life and Death, formed when heaven and earth first opened, records the life and death cycles of all things. It can decide a person’s life or death, change fate, and seize opportunities. It is ranked eighteenth among the Supreme God Items of the Outer Heavens, in the Myriad Creations of Great Thousand World.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Codex of Life and Death was born of heaven and earth, created by none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is naturally formed, the most complete of the Grand Dao Runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what the Grand Dao Runes truly are, Xu Zimo frowned slightly, he had not yet come into contact with that realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information had all been imparted to him by the Codex of Life and Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last person to possess the complete Codex of Life and Death was the Undying Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he was hunted down, lingered for a thousand years, and prepared to leave the heavens beyond the heavens, paying a great price to destroy his future and escape to the Primordial Heartlands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, he was still struck down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that battle, the Codex of Life and Death was left in the Primordial Heartlands, where it eventually came into the hands of Zhen Wu when he founded his lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when it reappeared in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brush of Life and Death, however, changed hands several times, eventually being brought to the Heavenly Dao Academy by the Yin-Yang Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking in all this information, Xu Zimo took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out his hands, holding the Codex of Life and Death in his palms, and began to study it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The setting sun sank in the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heartbroken man stood at the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Heavenly Dao Academy, the sky gradually darkened. Recently, the atmosphere there had been extremely tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the sky was torn open last time, someone had made a bold declaration, they would come in seven days to destroy the Heavenly Dao Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many students had already made their judgments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had left Heavenly Dao City early, and in these days, fear had spread among the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Heavenly Dao Academy had made no public statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night deepened, several figures gathered in a pavilion within the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispered voices carried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like they can keep their cool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be they’ve decided to let the ship sink and take everyone down with them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That shouldn’t be the case. After all, the Heavenly Dao Academy is the leader of human civilization.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then how about we spread the news within the academy? Our target is only the academy, not others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That fool Ao Nan, how will we explain this to the Ancient Dragon Dynasty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, silence fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The people of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty are domineering by nature. What will we do if they blame us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What can we do? He was too stupid, insisting on a life-and-death duel and making it hard for us to intervene.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True enough. Let’s all keep a low profile for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, the few figures disappeared into the thick night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around, it was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was a strange kind of calm, like the stillness before a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, the gate of the Land of Life and Death slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed, no one paid it any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo, dressed in a purple robe, walked out with head held high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was calm, revealing nothing of what he had just experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He oriented himself, then stepped into the air toward Vermilion Bird Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar sound of hammering still echoed above the island, sparks flying, Rock Solid’s silhouette swaying in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1386,"2026-06-06T01:06:58.319Z",1,"novelbin.me","e36b47b45641ac6f84f63fe35f7c842361062fb71f8fe17b3e19f6fca2591ced","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-862","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-860",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
