I Am the Fated Villain Chapter 193: The Villain’s Plotline isn’t Going as Predicted; Can’t Live Past a Few Chapters!
Wang Zijin felt that there was nothing wrong with her gut feeling.
Her current life had truly been smooth-sailing from the start, not even encountering a single setback thus far.
Since her birth, she showed a strong talent and possessed a Cultivation Base that directly reached the so-called Sacred Realm of this world.
However, thanks to her vast knowledge of the various male and female-oriented cliche writing routines in her previous life…
Wang Zijin ended up choosing the seemingly most foolish and unwise, but also most stable routine which is abolishing her own Cultivation Base, in order to raise the ceiling of her future achievements.
Later facts proved that her choice was indeed not wrong.
Every step of her foundation was now extremely solid.
Wang Zijin felt that she would definitely grow into a True Immortal in the future. And even the other descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall, Jiang Chuchu, who was claimed to be the Reincarnation of an Ancient Immortal, might not be her match in an actual fight.
Wang Zijin was very confident.
An unwavering arrogance that stemmed from strong personal strength and powerful trump cards.
Her plan to leave the Human Ancestral Hall and wander into the wide world was based on the foundation of her immense talent, so strong that ordinary Young Supremes would not be able to catch up to her in their entire lifetimes, even if she did not work hard to cultivate.
The so-called Young Supremes were nothing but existences that could be suppressed in the palm of her hand.
Wang Zijin didn't give a shit about them at all.
The magnificent world that she had longed for in her previous life, bizarre and beautiful, was now slowly unfolding before her eyes.
There was no way she could care about anything else but the moment in front of her.
This was the first time she had intended to go out after more than 20 years to experience this vast fantasy world.
Prior to this, she had always been practising, be it her family or the Human Ancestral Hall, with no chance to go out and take a look at the world. Now that she had finally grasped such an opportunity in front of her, she would naturally not let it go.
Wang Zijin remembered her only wish in her previous life.
‘I want to see the world. I want to go outside and see the things I have missed.'
‘The world is so big. So wide and filled with life.’
‘I want to be a part of it too.'
And this world was countless times more exciting than her previous life. Full of competing Young Supremes, gorgeous sights and scenery, charming women and dashing men
There were thousands of scenes and more than enough to see.
“Ugh. Other female transmigrators always have some kind of cool icy Young Master, or some Domineering Devil King chasing them... But here? All brain-dead shrimp suitors who have no right to be arrogant.”
Within the carriage, Wang Zijin's dainty hand supported her delicate and flawless chin, staring at the magnificent sight outside, mumbling away in annoyance.
Wang Zijin felt that the world she now travelled through was absolutely not like those female-oriented novels she had known in her previous life.
Fortunately, she had also read a lot of male-oriented novels and so she felt that it was very simple to deal with all these kinds of broken routines.
And compared to the various intrigues and dramatic plotlines in the female-oriented novels, this world that pursued only power and the Dao was much simpler.
Power determined everything. Any conspiracy and tricks would be wiped out under absolute power.
“Miss, you said that you are going to find a Ruyi Staff[1] to marry. Is it true or not?”
[1: A reference to the Ruyi Staff that the Monkey King wields in Journey to the West. It means a man who would agree to her every request and demand. Basically a ‘yes man’. Or a simp.]
Xiu'er suddenly blurted out loud.
The expression on her little face was tangled into a knot.
In her opinion, her own Young Miss was so beautiful and talented that it was no exaggeration to describe her as the brightest moon in the Nine Heavens.
‘Is there really a man in this world who deserves the Young Miss?’
Hearing this, Wang Zijin rolled her eyes quietly, her mood growing worse as she replied, “Xiu'er, why are you so stupid? Of course, those words were lies!”
“Your Lady, I, will become a peerless True Immortal in the future. Using only one hand to fight against three thousand emperors, and two hands to push around the realm. A supreme existence! How can I be constrained by a useless man like them?”
Having said that, Wang Zijin also knew that she was completely different from other women, whether it be in terms of strength, background, status, or her knowledge of another world.
So she truly felt that she might end up dying alone at this rate.
The thought of passing through the men one by one, opening up a blooming male harem like in the female-oriented novels of the previous life, and flirting with all kinds of stunning and gorgeous males did seem quite the good scenario to Wang Zijin at that time.
However, when she really did cross over, she discovered that this kind of thing was actually a nauseatingly horrid idea.
Her standards were just too high.
The gruesome scene of one day cheapening herself to marry some big pig foot[2] raised goosebumps all throughout Wang Zijin’s body.
[2: Big pig foot is a Chinese saying referring to a loathsome, unfaithful, insensitive or chauvinistic man.]
For her talent that was so great that even a reincarnated Ancient Emperor would not faze her, it would truly be the most wasteful possibility.
“Soloing three thousand emperors with one hand, and pushing the entire realm with two! Miss, your ambition is so big!”
“Yet I know that Young Miss has this ability.”
Xiu'er nodded.
Ruyi Staff Husband? Although this kind of remark was one often spoken by her, Wang Zijin always had a nonchalant, ridiculing tone when talking about it.
“Indeed. But I can consider finding a Ruyi Staff to marry that Jiang Chuchu”
“Tch, her cold and indifferent face irks me. It’s as if the world owes her something. That damn pretentious noble facade.”
“A person like her deserves to get beaten up by a man, lest she feels as if all the men in the world are just so-so, only having eyes for the Human Ancestor.”
Wang Zijin shook his head for a while as she spoke of Jiang Chuchu.
Although the Saintess could be considered her only talking partner throughout the years of training, Wang Zijin’s opinion of her was not very good. She felt that Jiang Chuchu had a ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude and was too self-righteous.
In the words of her previous world... Jian Chuchu was basically a Virgin Mary.
Now, a normal Virgin Mary could be their own self, benevolent, but with the ability to uphold their own personal morality and ideals.
But a Crazy Virgin Mary like her who only had the two words ‘world-peace’ in mind... was just plain scary.
Wang Zijin would not say anything harsh to the Crazy Virgin, Jiang Chuchu’s face, but she naturally tried to avoid this kind of monstrous personality whenever possible.
If she truly spiralled down the path of ‘benevolence-for-all’, then she might as well stop breathing, since such a person was no good and would just waste resources and disgust other people.
“Saintess Chuchu… I think she is a good person, but her personality is too cold. She always wants to uphold justice no matter what”
Xiu'er spoke with a bit of distress.
“That’s right, she is innately a good person, so we should try our best to find a suitable Ruyi Staff Husband for her to marry.”
“Lest she falls into the fire-pit trap of the Human Ancestral Hall and burns herself into a crisp before that.”
Wang Zijin giggled and replied with an expression of approval.
Her total amount of contact with men was a big fat zero, be it in her previous life or now. However, in terms of theory, Wang Zijin was not behind anyone.
She could talk about these topics for days on end.
“Miss, you secretly left the Ancestral Hall this time and don't even plan on searching for the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor. Won’t this matter make the Elders in the Human Ancestral Hall angry?” Xiu'er remembered another matter and started getting anxious.
“So what if they get angry. Do you think I’ll go back to look at their faces?” Wang Zijin looked unhappy.
“It's their business to find the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor. I don't want to get mixed up in it. Am I their slave or something?”
In the beginning, when she was taken to the Human Ancestral Hall to practise she had no clue that there was such a task waiting for her.
Human Ancestral Hall? It sounded nice but was more like a glorified Slave Training Hall.
Wang Zijin didn't see any reason why she should find and serve the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor for the Human Ancestral Hall.
‘It’d be fine if us descendants were male, but seeing as both of us are female... doesn’t this feel a bit like we’re just here to help make a harem for the Human Ancestor?’
Thinking of this, Wang Zijin became nauseous, wishing to erase all traces of the Human Ancestral Hall from her body.
Perhaps for the rest of the female population, being part of this ‘Human Ancestor harem’ would make them feel extremely honoured, to the point of throwing themselves at him for a chance to get in.
But as for her? No dice. She wanted to stay away and avoid it altogether.
“Miss, look! That’s the Inner Domain’s Immeasurable Heaven! I heard that Young Master Wushuang is currently there, so why don't you go and see him?”
“Perhaps we’ll meet lots of outstanding Young Geniuses!”
[Quick Recap: Young Genius are people whose talent is above average but not so much that they can be called Young Supreme.]
After passing through the starfields and teleportation array, Xiu'er opened the curtain and looked at the vast world outside, suddenly exclaiming in excitement.
They had received some knowledge of the outside world along their journey.
The Upper Realm, which was known to be infinite, could be roughly divided into the Heavenly, Inner, Middle, and Outer Domain.
Yet the big events that happen in each area still managed to spread everywhere with an incredible speed.
During this period of time, the events in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace have caused even the many remote places in the Upper Realm to be shaken.
The Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts appeared, and the Immortal Road for the Ancient Immortal Continent had revealed itself.
Each one caused a big wave, and even the two master and servant far away in Heavenly Domain had heard of it.
“Wushuang? My cheap little brother?”
Wang Zijin was slightly startled, stuck in remembrance.
‘Younger brother…’
Before today, she had never seen this little brother of hers at all and he was no different from a stranger to her.
She had only learned about Wang Wushuang from the family.
But at any rate, he was her little brother in this life. Since she was passing by, there was no reason not to go and have a look.
In this life, he was her family.
Wang Zijin thought for a while before nodding, “Then, let’s go see him.”
“Well, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace is the oldest Daoist Sect in Immeasurable Heaven. This period of time can be called the gathering winds and clouds for many young geniuses and Young Supremes. Maybe you will find someone who catches your eye.”
Upon hearing her agreement, Xiu'er immediately giggled happily.
In reality, she herself was the one who wished to witness a group of Young Supremes.
“Hm. Wasn't there a rumour saying that the current Heir of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace is the strongest person of the younger generation? I don't know if that's fake or not.”
She was still muttering under her breath.
Perhaps this was her true purpose in following the Young Lady outside...
“The best person in the younger generation? Isn’t that because the outside world doesn’t know me, your Young Miss? Otherwise, who would dare to call themself the best in the younger generation when I'm still kicking.”
Wang Zijin smiled as if he didn't care about these rumours at all.
She was born a Sacred Realm Cultivator, so she had confidence in being the best.
Although she was now re-doing her cultivation from the start, she already reached the Early Stage of the Quasi Sacred Realm. It was a kind of cultivation speed that would shock the entire world.
Everyone would become stunned if this news were to leak out.
As far as the information goes, the Young Supremes did not have anyone whose cultivation was higher than the False God Realm. Hence, the difference between her and them was as clear as a sunny day.
There was no need to worry at all.
“Miss, aren't you curious though? It is said that Young Master Gu Changge is a Young Asura with a True Immortal talent! His power in the Immeasurable Heaven is simply unmatched!”[3]
[3: It is not a talent like Void and Samsara Talent. She is saying, by Changge’s talent, he is bound to reach True Immortal Realm in his life.]
“He is the Young Master of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family, the Heir of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, and also has the support of an Immortal Sect like the Primordial Demon Sect.”
“I can't believe that a single person alone possesses so many extravagant titles!”
Contrary to Wang Zijin's cool reaction, Xiu'er had a look of yearning and admiration plastered onto her face and seemed very excited and expectant.
It was completely opposite to her previous attitude towards the Young Master of the Primordial Zhao clan.
Wang Zijin's attitude, on the other hand, was very indifferent, and she even sneered, “Xiu'er, what do you know?”
“True Immortal talent? And who decided that? The Heavens above or his own father? I, for one, don't believe it”
“I'll tell you now, the Young Supremes who have such a reputation generally die very quickly, and they are cannon fodder who can't live for many chapters.”
“Besides, his name is ‘Gu Changge'?There's no way he can be the protagonist with that kind of name. In the male-oriented novel routines, you want a surname like ‘Fan' or ‘Hao', otherwise, you'll never be the protagonist.
“This guy you're so excited about is just some stereotypical cannon fodder, so don't get too worked up over him.”
When Xiu'er heard the Young Miss say this, she was immediately dumbfounded. She didn't understand what many of those words meant, but she still understood what the Miss was trying to imply.
‘Gu Changge, who is so powerful and possesses a terrifying momentum within Immeasurable Heaven, is nothing more than that in Miss's view…’
‘Just a small character?’
“You don't understand that these are all simple routines. Hell, maybe there is someone surnamed Fan right now who is off to offend Gu Changge and is about to slap his face strongly.”
Wang Zijin shook his head helplessly.
In her previous world, she had looked at various male-oriented online novels in her spare time, and knew that only inexperienced and naive authors would name the protagonist like so.
‘This guy was obviously a cannon fodder character who is bound to get face-slapped.’
Yet Xiu'er did not look dissuaded at all.
“Hmph, Miss, you are not allowed to say that. Young Master Changge was the one whose Origin had damaged and almost died in the Ancient Immortal Continent trying to fight against the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor.”
“He even rescued his Junior Sister who was in conflict with him from the clutches of the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor. Rumours say that Young Master Changge is a man whose divinity is like Immortal Jade, transcendent and free from vulgarity.”
Xiu'er was full of enthusiasm, acting just like Gu Changge's little fangirl.
“Tsk! At this point, why don't you go to be his maid instead of mine?” Wang Zijin quickly told her to shut up upon seeing her almost boot-licking appearance, which made her feel speechless.
Compared with the rumoured Young Asura, she was actually more interested in the mysterious Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor.
Boom!
Soon, the carriage squeezed through the two space barriers with a violent shudder.
Chaos, turbulence, and destruction., It was as if huge meteors had smashed down, sending out terrifying waves.
However, these horrible fluctuations were swept away by a mere flick of the old coachman's sleeves, as a layer of ripples spread, and the wind lightly blew. A scene that appeared extremely skilful, yet natural.
“Miss, we are approaching Immeasurable Heaven. Shall we leave directly, or go to the Heavenly Dao Ancient City first?” the old coachman asked indifferently.
“Grandpa Snake, let's go to the Heavenly Dao Ancient City.” Wang Zijin responded with a smile.
Boom!
The next moment, the carriage suddenly broke through the space once more, and instantly drove thousands of miles forwards, to the place where the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace was.
The place had been quite lively these past few days.
Many Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans had sent their disciples and powerhouses there.
Especially when they knew that Gu Changge's appearance in the Ancient Immortal Continent was heralding the start of his plan to force the True Dragon Clan into surrendering in one fell swoop, a sensation that would shock many people.
Gu Changge was truly peerless in terms of bravery and courage.
A member of the younger generation, but still daring to attack the entire True Dragon Clan. So bold, the older generation power
