I Am the Fated Villain Chapter 195: Not Afraid of an Evil Villain, Just Afraid of a Handsome One; An Irresistible Charm

Chapter 195: Not Afraid of an Evil Villain, Just Afraid of a Handsome One; An Irresistible Charm

The aftermath of the battle shrouded an area of ​​nearly 300,000 miles, as heaven was turned upside down, and the sun and the moon shifted positions. 

The universe itself trembled in place.

Many of the True Dragon Clan’s islands and mountain ranges were crushed into powder by the terrifying pressure, as even the Ancient Immortal formations filled with boundless killing intent were erased by the might of a Quasi-Supreme the moment they soared into the sky.

The other battle was also over.

Thousands of star fragments scattered in all directions, turning the land into a burial ground of stars, surging between Heaven and Earth. 

The divine lights that covered the world, falling down!

Buzz!!

A golden Dao path stretched out towards the endless sky. The Great Elder had returned, his perfect white robe fluttering, looking like the paragon of an Orthodox Cultivator. Seemingly untouched, none could imagine that he had just fought an earth-shattering battle.

Behind him, the True Dragon Clan’s Quasi-Supreme existence was sealed within a huge palm!

[Kshn: Don’t ask me how someone can be sealed in a palm.]

“Are we done?”

The Great Elder's calm expression had hints of annoyance mixed in, showing his reluctance to take action from beginning to end.

With the sole exception of suppressing the Dragon Clan’s strongest existence, he didn’t even partic.i.p.ate in any of the following battles.

Gu Changge’s sudden revelation about his ident.i.ty as the Heir of the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation had also shocked the Great Elder. He originally imagined that Gu Changge would borrow the power of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family in order to face the True Dragon Clan, he didn’t think about the possibility of such an astounding matter.

‘It seems that the ident.i.ty as the Heir of the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation was Gu Changge’s ultimate trump card all along.’

Thinking of this, the Great Elder couldn't help but take a deep look at Gu Changge.

‘It is getting more and more difficult to see through him. Exactly how many methods has he secretly hidden in the dark, not known to the world?’

‘The fact that Xian’er’s grudge with him had already been resolved was a fortunate one, for if it had continued…’ the Great Elder could not imagine how harsh Gu Xian’er’s life would’ve been, attempting to face Gu Changge's onslaught alone.

‘If it weren’t for a group of old monsters like them supporting and backing Gu Xian’er, I’m afraid that Gu Changge would probably have eaten up all her bones by now.’

“It's over. My apologies for having bothered the Great Elder.” Gu Changge smiled.

“Don't even bother. Just remember what you have promised this old man.”

The Great Elder snorted coldly. 

He waved his sleeves dismissively and the suppressed True Dragon Clan’s powerhouse was momentarily released from his seal, appearing in front of Gu Changge.

“Please rest a.s.sured, Great Elder. I won’t forget my promise...”

Gu Changge’s face was apathetic as he glanced at the slumped True Dragon Clan’s powerhouse.

Then, he looked at the horizon in the distance, his eyes sweeping across the many powerful cultivations in the vicinity. 

His lips curved slightly.

“As the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace’s successor, Changge indeed has an obligation to clean up and pacify the chaos of the True Dragon Clan for the Palace.”

The various Daoist Sects and Ancient Immortal Races watching from a distance burst into commotion immediately, not fully comprehending the meaning of Gu Changge’s words.

“Huh?”

“Gu Changge, you...”

Even the Great Elder was confused for a moment, wondering why Gu Changge would decide to say that in front of the many Daoists present.

And only after the realization sank in—

“It's too ruthless! How G.o.dd.a.m.n shameless!”

His snowy-white brows jumped! A stormy kind of anger quickly rose within his heart.

Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace had always prided itself in being neutral, and its policy was to never interfere with the power struggles and grievances of other Dao Sects and Immortal Clans.

In fact, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace had not provided Gu Changge with a single iota of help in this fight, though he was their only heir.

Yet Gu Changge’s current words were clearly meant to tell everyone that the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace had taken the initiative to help him.

Instead of speaking about his and the Great Elder’s personal agreement…

The Great Elder knew exactly what Gu Changge was plotting.

He had understood it almost instantaneously and it made him furious to the extreme!

Not only did that b*****d want to muddy the waters of the Ancient Immortal Continent, but he was also trying to find a way to drag the entire Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace alongside him, making them his accomplices!

If Gu Changge succeeded, forces from Immeasurable Heaven would feel that the matter of unifying the Ancient Immortal Continent this time possessed the direct involvement and intent of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace behind it.

Would this a.s.sumption not divert everyone’s vision from Gu Changge? 

Would it not let him gain benefits unharmed, while letting the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace take the blame?

The Great Elder’s face contorted with outright anger. He was furious!

And yet, he really could not refute Gu Changge’s statement at the moment, since only a few people truly knew about the agreement they had that day.

“The Great Elder's kindness, Changge will keep it in mind.”

Gu Changge's face showed a slight smile before melting back into indifference.

“However, Great Elder, it seems you still owe me a favour. So don't forget that either.”

Although the Great Elder’s cultivation base was not very evident, Gu Changge knew that it should be far beyond the Quasi-Supreme Realm, and might even be better than his father and Gu Nanshan’s cultivation base if they were to be compared. 

Hence, he must firmly take hold of this precious ‘favour’.

Perhaps it would be used as his “Protective Talisman” one day. Moreover, he felt that there was nothing wrong with having the influential Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace block some incoming storms for him occasionally, so he just said it casually.

The many cultivators in the outside world felt that he coerced the elders into taking action in some way to achieve his goal.

And that was true.

Nonetheless, in Gu Changge’s view, he needed something more. He needed the cultivators from the outside world to think that the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace was taking the initiative to plan all these schemes.

After all, he had become quite famous recently. The limelight that was Gu Changge’s was on the verge of overshadowing everyone. Unfortunately, the more those pesky cultivators and creatures pay attention to him, the harder it was for him to plan his schemes in secrecy; stealing the benefits for himself while pushing the blame onto others.

Gu Changge had always liked to make his fortunes secretly in the dark.

He treated Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace like a chess piece, no different from others, maybe even more than some.

Whether it might be effective or not was another matter entirely.

“If Great Elder thinks that Changge's approach was wrong… you could always explain it once more. I’m sure there are still many cultivators who would believe—”

Gu Changge continued to smile. His prediction of the Great Elder’s temperament had been spot on, and he calculated that at this time, the Great Elder would not say much at all.

His goal... was thus achieved.

For him, angering the Great Elder was not worth caring about at all. It was better to consider how he would unify the Ancient Immortal Continent next.

“Ahem!”

The Great Elder, with an extremely gloomy face, interrupted his spiel, walking into the void angrily with his sleeves in a fuss, as the void quickly blurred around him and swallowed him whole.

He then decided that from today onwards, all Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace affairs would be left to the current Palace Master.

The shamelessness of Gu Changge was peerless underneath the Heavens.

It was to the point where the Great Elder was helpless, unable to control him.

So why not just go into seclusion and cleanse his soul for a while?

Otherwise, one day, he really might become unable to resist killing this shameless junior.

“Come, clean up the True Dragon clan, and kill those who don't obey!”

“From today onwards, I just want to hear only one voice in the True Dragon Clan.”

Gu Changge’s faint smile now vanished completely.

“Yes, Master!”

A tsunami of sound rang out from behind him.

The mighty armies of the three major clans soon began to resolve the remnants of the rebellious True Dragon Clan, rooting out their stubborn nature like weeds in a garden.

Refusal to submit would result in death.

They killed them without any mercy.

Obedient creatures are what this world lacks the least, and are a dime a dozen. There was no reason to tolerate disobedience. It was simply too annoying.

“Master!”

“Your order has been completed. All the True Dragon Clan rebels have been put to death.”

Hum!!

As the words fell, a majestic and overwhelming might bore down upon the world!

On the other side, the Quasi-Supreme ancestors of the Ancient Serpent, Black Heavenly Eagle, and Divine Crocodile Clans had suppressed many True Dragon Clan powerhouses and were currently in the midst of running back to Gu Changge to present the fruits of their labour.

“Very good.”

“Well done.”

Gu Changge swept his gaze through the many sights below and showed his satisfaction.

Then he nodded and waved his hands to dismiss them.

The appearance of the three major clans would definitely arouse the fear of the other clans, but Gu Changge was considering hiding them in the dark for a while longer.

Finally after solving the issues of the True Dragon Clan, Gu Changge had time to start thinking about his ‘fellow otherworlder’.

In his speculation, even Yue Mingkong might not know of her existence.

The reason being, a transmigrator… was a ma.s.sive anomaly, just like himself.

Yue Mingkong’s previous life experience wouldn’t help her here because it was unknown if the existence of transmigrators was there in that timeline or not. 

But since she took the initiative to appear in front of Gu Changge, he would find her tracks eventually, even if he needed to dig a thousand feet under the surface.

‘Unless she is the unluckiest type of transmigrator, she must possess a golden finger[1] and would quickly become well renowned in this world.’

[1: Crazy-a*s system or Ability]

It’s just that Gu Changge did not know whether that transmigrator had come to this world before him or after.

The next thing to do was to facilitate the unification of the Ancient Immortal Continent’s various clans. With this power, it can provide him with a lot of cultivation resources.

The True Dragon Clan alone would have no shortage of good things that are useful to him!

It might even be possible to obtain some of the essence and true blood left by their Dragon Progenitor back then. For Gu Changge, those were all great benefits he could easily reap. 

Recently, his Immortal Devouring Demonic Arts’ Cultivation Base reached the peak of the Quasi-Sacred Realm, only missing a bit of cultivation essence needed to breakthrough to the actual Sacred Realm.

Furthermore, Gu Changge would be able to condense many more Black Dao Bottles once he had reached the Sacred Realm, which would help him swallow and refine the remaining wisps of the Fairy Spirits.

His cultivation would soar by leaps and bounds by then.

— — —

[At the same time.]

Standing high in the sky, the powerhouses of various Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans had gathered here to witness the situation unfolding in the distant Dragon Island.

“Is this something a young man can do? If I had not seen it for myself, I would never have believed such a feat was possible…”

“The stars are shining! We are approaching the golden age of cultivation. But in terms of power, I am afraid that no one in the younger generation can compete with Gu Changge.”

“In some ways, this Gu Changge is more terrifying than the Forbidden Demonic Art's Inheritor…”

“His schemes and methods send shivers down my spine, and my heart skipped a beat. To openly plan and devour an entire Ancient Immortal Clan like so—!”

The commotion droned on endlessly. Whisperings and rumours from one individual to another.

“According to the rumours, the Forbidden Demonic Art's Inheritor was defeated by Gu Changge after a long and harrowing battle but escaped his hands at the last minute. Furthermore, there has been no real trace of him found for so long. And though there are still Young Supreme existences being attacked or killed, they had all been targeted in a sneaky manner. Hence, we can conclude that the Forbidden Demonic Art's Inheritor was severely injured by Gu Changge, an injury not easy to cure at that.”

“Yet, on the flip side, the appearance of Gu Changge utilizing the imitation of the Ancient Wheel of Reincarnation is casual and relaxed, with no difficulty nor visible complications.  It is reasonable to a.s.sume that his cultivation is not as simple as it is on the surface.”

Upon a lofty, ancient warship, Qi and vitality intertwined. A majestic scene.

Many Immortal w.a.n.g Family masters were currently discussing and debating. Whether it be the older or younger generations, their expressions were filled with amazement and slight envy, their hearts palpitating erratically due to the shocking nature of the developing situation. 

Although they did not intervene in the prior battle, they were able to observe and scrutinize everything from beginning to end.

The wild joy and excitement that came from w.a.n.g Zijin’s return from the Human Ancestral Hall felt as if it had been hit right in the face by a basin of cold water, cooling down immensely. 

What an insane scene!

w.a.n.g Zijin wasn’t the only younger generation cultivator who was dazzling beyond belief.

Her talent was unique throughout the ages, and she had practised in the Human Ancestral Hall, so her cultivation speed would eclipse most cultivators by miles.

Breaking through a small realm in half a month, and a big realm in half a year. A breakthrough was as simple as drinking water and eating food for the Young Miss of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family.

However, she was but a member of the younger generation after all and had not yet inherited the full might of the power backing her.

On the other hand, Gu Changge was already in charge of everything. The forces in his hands alone could make them all deeply fearful of him!

Not to mention anything else, but just the three clans; Black Heavenly Eagle, Ancient Serpent, and Divine Crocodile Clans were enough to contend against many Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans, able to sweep the world aside. 

Three Quasi-Supreme ancestors were no mere joke!

A normal Quasi-Supreme was a peerless power who could lift a palm to shatter the stars, and rend the continent with a ray of breath, a profound existence even in the greatest of Dao Sects and Immortal Clans!

Without any Supreme Realm or Dao Enlightened[2] existence around, the Quasi-Supreme Realm was an invincible and unbeatable character!

[2: Dao Enlightened are existence in the realm above the Supreme Realm, which is Emperor Realm.*]

If they really compared, in terms of power, then they were afraid that the current head of the Immortal w.a.n.g family actually needed to be polite when he sees Gu Changge, right?

It was almost unimaginable.

“This method seems to be simple, but in fact, it is meticulously interlocking. Even I can only see some clues of its arrangement. If I really want to investigate deeper, I am afraid it can be traced back to when the Ancient Immortal Continent first opened...”

“This kind of long-term calculation really leaves this old man in admiration!”

“I am afraid there are not many people who can compare with him in this generation.”

On the ancient warship, hearing w.a.n.g Wushuang's words, the old monster of the w.a.n.g family couldn't help but say with a sigh.

The banner of justice wielded by Gu Changge played a big role in the battle of the True Dragon Clan and even they had to admit it.

It was obvious that he was plotting to secure the Ancient Immortal Races for himself, and not for some petty notion like justice.

But so what?

They were helpless and had no reason to take action. Would the Ancient Immortal Gu Family backing Gu Changge stand back like hapless chickens when they really took action?

Impossible.

Now Gu Changge was eating the biggest piece of meat in front of all the Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans, and yet they were all helpless to act, feeling depressed and in awe at the same time.

These kinds of methods fully expressed the charm and wiles of the Young Master of one of the Ancient Immortal Families, rather than a simple cultivation talent.

With such a young master there, how could the Daoist Family not be overjoyed?

On the other hand, because Gu Changge had revealed his sharp fangs, and controlled the terrifying powerhouses of the Ancient Immortal Continent, to the point where even the Quasi-Supreme ancestors obeyed him...

The various Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans might pay attention and unite against him in the future.

Gain and loss were intrinsically linked, virtually unavoidable.

In the past, it was mere battles of youth, but now...

The entire Upper Realm had gotten thrown into the mix!

Who wouldn’t be afraid?

“Young Master, I'm afraid you’ll have to learn a bit from Gu Changge in the future.”

The old monster of the w.a.n.g family couldn't help but smile.

Never blindly overpraise your opponent, but never belittle them as well.

He spoke such words in order to spur his Young Master on, who would be compared with Gu Changge in many aspects, as they were both heirs of their families.

Of course, the Immortal families have a long heritage, and it is impossible for the young master of any generation to collapse so casually.

Not being as good as the other would not fundamentally harm them.

So why would they engage in this type of petty, malicious belittling?

“Gu Changge is indeed very strong. In terms of schemes and methods, I am far inferior to him. I will admit this without shame.”

“But Elder should not forget that these conspiracies are useless under absolute power. If Gu Changge didn't have the ident.i.ty of being Heir of the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation, it would have been impossible for the three major clans to obey his orders...”

w.a.n.g Wushuang shook his head.

Although he did admire Gu Changge’s intelligence, it was not a bone-deep admiration, and he thought that Gu Changge was just relying on this relationship to succeed in his schemes.

Without the help of those three clana, this battle would not be so easy.

Hearing his words, w.a.n.g Zijin, who’d been staring at the figure in the distance, shook her head silently. Her expression had become quite strange.

“Since the Young Master said so, then let me ask you, what does absolute power mean?”

The old monster of the w.a.n.g family was happy to use this opportunity, and chuckled slightly, intending to educate his Young Master.

The younger generation should have the will to fight, but this fight should not be one that was impossible to accept.

Ever since w.a.n.g Wushuang was born, there has always been arrogance in his heart.

His cultivation base was far inferior to his sister, who was born in the Sacred Realm. He recognized this and had nothing to say.

However, Gu Changge was obviously younger than him in terms of age.

Yet w.a.n.g Wushuang could not perceive his cultivation base clearly and was only able to vaguely see it, knowing it to be unfathomable. 

To be honest, he was a little unwilling and unconvinced of Gu Changge.

Now that the Clan Elder was berating him, and in front of his sister no less, the Immortal w.a.n.g Family’s Young Master could no longer bear it.

“Absolute power naturally refers to the true cultivation of an individual. No matter how strong Gu Changge is, it is impossible for him to surpa.s.s my sister in cultivation, right?”

w.a.n.g Wushuang spoke recklessly, the golden light in his eyes flowing, unable to sit still.

It was usually impossible for him to rattle off such claims, but he was currently in a state of frustration upon seeing his sister, and couldn't think properly.

Normal Young Supremes would never be able to accept such a situation. However, thanks to his far superior ambitions, w.a.n.g Wushuang was not too deeply affected.

“Wushuang. There'll always be a higher sky, and there will always be a taller mountain. You have to remember this sentence. It was one someone said to me long ago.”

At this time, w.a.n.g Zijin, who had been quiet for a long time, finally spoke up, with a voice like the sound of a Heavenly Chime.

With a smile on her face, she looked at w.a.n.g Wushuang. 

w.a.n.g Wushuang, this younger brother, does not seem like he was an arrogant genius type, which made her a little satisfied.

Of course, the sentence was for her as well.

She used to think that she was very powerful but soon found that Gu Changge's methods and skills were unparalleled.

Perhaps the only two areas she could edge him out in were Cultivation Talent and Cultivation Base.

[Kshn: It’s exactly the same thing dammit, why must you make it two?]

This made w.a.n.g Zijin more and more curious and interested in Gu Changge.

As a transmigrator, she was familiar with the various routines of novels, and also possessed a strong background and terrifying talent. 

She had stood at almost the pinnacle of these cultivators ever since she was born.

So naturally, she got bored.

w.a.n.g Zijin actually wanted to find something that interested her, which was why she had planned to travel around the world.

And just happened to meet Gu Changge.

A native genius who did not seem to play by the rules of the system, completely different from the rest of the cannon fodder.

His meticulousness had surprised her.

w.a.n.g Zijin continued to speak, “Gu Changge's cultivation is not only as simple as what you see. To be honest, even I myself can't figure out what his realm is.”

“Sister, even you can't see his cultivation?!”

This time, w.a.n.g Wushuang and the rest of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family’s Young Supreme around him were stunned, and couldn't help but stare.

w.a.n.g Zijin's strength had most likely already reached the Quasi-Sacred realm, according to those elders of the clan.

Yet she couldn't see through Gu Changge?

w.a.n.g Zijin nodded. For her, this kind of thing was not difficult to admit.

“Moreover, to easily utilize the imitation of a Dao Weapon, one's cultivation must surpa.s.s ordinary people by far. If I were to give you a replica of a Dao Weapon, could you utilize it as easily as Gu Changge did?”

“And as for your statement that he is relying on his ident.i.ty as the Heir of Ancient Deity of Reincarnation, then can you be like Gu Changge and let the three major clans obey your order if you were the heir?”

“As long as the three major clans are not stupid, they won't agree to surrender to a young man so nonchalantly. If Gu Changge can make them surrender, that means that his methods are not simple at all.”

w.a.n.g Zijin revealed her a.n.a.lysis and her understanding of the situation.

A point of view that differed from others.

When she finished speaking, everyone in the Immortal w.a.n.g Family on the ancient warship was silent for a while and some people took a breath, extremely shocked.

“As expected of the Young Miss, you can see things so thoroughly…”

The old monster of the w.a.n.g family couldn't help but nod and laugh. He could see all this because he had lived a long time.

And since w.a.n.g Zijin could also see it, it could only mean that she was smarter than the average person and more talented.

“I see.”

Hearing this, w.a.n.g Wushuang went quiet for a while, and after thinking about w.a.n.g Zijin's words, he finally understood the difference between him and Gu Changge.

He really couldn't do what Gu Changge did.

Deep depression and unwillingness arose in his heart.

“It's a pity. I heard that this Gu Changge has a marriage contract, otherwise, he and the young lady are actually quite a good match.”

“But something like a marriage contract can be cancelled…”

The old monster of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family suddenly sighed, feeling moved.

If the two marry, it will definitely be a win-win situation.

Hearing this, w.a.n.g Zijin was slightly startled and her expression suddenly became a little weird. Why did he suddenly mention this kind of thing? Could it be that the fiance routine that she had been thinking about before was coming right now?

Gu Changge tore up the marriage contract of the original heroine, then forged a marriage contract with her instead?

Judging from what Gu Changge did, he didn't look like a decent person.

‘Hmm, it doesn't seem impossible.’

“Elder, does Gu Changge have a useless fiancee or something...”

After thinking for a while, w.a.n.g Zijin worded her question well and asked tentatively.

What the Clan Elder had said just now was too much like the rhythm of some kind of b.l.o.o.d.y broken routine.

“This…” The Immortal w.a.n.g Family elder obviously did not expect w.a.n.g Zijin to ask such a question and was stunned.

On the other hand, Xiu'er promptly answered, “Miss, Young Master Changge's fiancée is the famous and influential Future Emperor of the Supreme Immortal Dynasty, Yue Mingkong. She has the appearance of a fairy, along with the temperament of an immortal. How could she be a waste?”

w.a.n.g Zijin was a little disappointed all of a sudden.

If she could nab a fiancé like Gu Changge, she would be fine, and won't get gooseb.u.mps just thinking about it like before.

There was nothing wrong with being greedy.

After all, no matter what world you are in, the most important feature is appearance.

Before that, w.a.n.g Zijin had always felt that she would never meet a young genius who would interest her and life would be smooth sailing like that.

After all, a protagonist's face was written as being unremarkable. A complete reversal from the type of man she wanted.

When she thought about various descriptions of the protagonist, her head started hurting and she lost interest quickly.

This world is clearly not the world of women-oriented wuxia novels.

On the contrary, it has a consistent male oriented and cultivation driven style. Thus, the protagonists must also be the ones who have to gradually become stronger, and climb up from being an underdog, fulfilling the so-called upgrade enthusiasm.

As for Gu Changge, although w.a.n.g Zijin has not contacted him yet, she could feel the subtle difference between him and the rest of those Young Supremes.

And her gut feeling was never wrong.

It might even be her golden finger ability in this new world.

w.a.n.g Zijin suddenly remembered a sentence from her previous life.

“Not afraid of an evil villain, just afraid of a handsome one.”

“Miss, since you've all come here, how about we drop by to meet Young Master Changge?”

Seemingly becoming aware of w.a.n.g Zijin's disappointment, the Elder of the Immortal w.a.n.g Family suddenly asked this question.

w.a.n.g Zijin was stunned when he heard the words, her expression remained unchanged, but with a smiling undertone, “If that is what the Clan Elder wishes.”

“Miss, did you not say before that you were not interested...” Xiu'er couldn't help but mutter when she saw this scene.

w.a.n.g Zijin flicked her forehead.

“You talk too much.”

At this time, inside Dragon Island.

Gu Changge, who was searching for the secret treasury of the True Dragon Clan in a splendid and magnificent treasure house, suddenly heard a system prompt.

[Ding! The Favoured Daughter of heaven is interested in the host. Fortune Value increased by 1000 points, Destiny points increased by 5000.]

‘Huh?’

Gu Changge's eyes narrowed.

‘Does this work too?’

His charm sure was irresistibly it seems...

[*If you read our notes frequently, you might remember when the Ancestors of Black Heavenly Eagle Clan were introduced, there was a talk about how Supreme Realm can catch and Emperor Realm can identify the Immortal Devouring Demonic Arts and we said we don’t know which is above or below cause it wasn’t specified by the author. So now, there you have it. The Emperor Realm is above the Supreme Realm.]
