The Golden Dream of the Villain

At the top of a frozen mountain, surrounded by numerous immortal clouds.

At the edge of an enormous cliff, Lin Nuo firmly gripped at his bleeding arm, stopping its never-ending stream.

After fighting in a fierce battle for so long. He had been thoroughly exhausted despite the fact that he was at the peak of demonic cultivation.

Lin Nuo shouted in contempt.

"Su Kexin! I should have killed you in the past!"

The grit on Lin Nuo's teeth tightened as he ignored the dripping blood from his mouth.

Mirrored in his eyes, a picturesque girl wearing a bright rosy dress was seen standing valiantly.

This girl was Su Kexin, his former junior sister.

With her beautiful clothes soaked in crimson blood, her captivating crystal-clear eyes were staring dagger at him, sending nothing but pure hatred and fury.

"Lin Nuo! You had done too many sins and murdered the innocents! The Heaven's law can't tolerate this. From today onwards, your evil era shall end here!"

As her gaze flashes with determination, Su Kexin held her sword forward and pierced Lin Nuo's heart mercilessly.

Unable to prevent this, Lin Nuo was forced to spat out blood in response.

Despite his heart brimming with unwillingness over his fate, it didn't take long before his consciousness turned foggy.

Following that, his eyelids gradually dropped and all he could see was pitch black.

In the end, Lin Nuo, the great villain died.

...

The light of the dawn shines brightly and greeted the world.

The shining light quickly passed through the small gap of a window and landed on a sleeping boy's face.

From outside the boy's room, the noise of weapons clashing had reached inside and into the boy's ears.

Because of this, the boy was woken up and saw the familiar ceiling above him.

A puzzled look immediately appeared on his face.

'This is…'

Finding himself in an unknown yet familiar room, the teenager calmly raised his body from the bed while trying to understand his situation.

But then, a flash of realization struck him.

"My injuries!"

He hurriedly reached out to his shoulder and then to his chest… But he found nothing.

Lin Nuo was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Strange, am I inside a dream?"

Not only were there no wounds on his body. He also didn't feel anything after death.

But even so, he was certain that he had been killed by that damned woman, Su Kexin.

So is everything that he was experiencing right now… just a dream?

But why does it feel so real?

Lin Nuo's eyes fell onto the wooden desk beside him as he noticed the calendar sitting there.

Year 213, Dinghai.

"Huh…? Wasn't this year supposed to be the year 218, Renchen? Is the calendar outdated?"

As he muttered to himself, he quickly stood up from the bed and moved slowly towards the front of a mirror.

He carefully examined the reflection shown on the clear surface.

It was the long-forgotten appearance of his past self. A handsome and youthful feature with no traces of scars from the years of suffering he had gone through.

He looks… really young.

Lin Nuo can't help but let out a whisper from his mouth.

"…Impossible"

Filled with doubts, he hurriedly scanned his surroundings, only to notice a banner with three big words written on it.

With just a glance, one can feel a deep and strong understanding of calligraphy was used for its creation.

[Xuanyun Sect]

At that moment, various memories flooded his mind.

In the past, he was once a disciple of the Xuanyun Sect. And judging from the sword on the wall, this room was in fact his.

"Could it be… is all this real?"

With all these clues, he promptly sat cross-legged on the bed and shut his eyes before rapidly inspecting his own body.

The Qi energies inside him had become weak and his cultivation base had actually regressed back to the beginning.

There are no traces of Demonic Qi inside his body anymore, forcing him to assume that his Demonic root had yet been awakened.

"I knew it…"

After many observations of his situation, he finally had a guess of what was happening.

He, Lin Nuo, the world-destroying villain, had regressed back to his youthful self of exactly 5 years ago, a time when he was just a nobody in the sect, an absolute lowly disciple.

At this realization, he was thrown into a great disbelief.

"Haha.."

A sneer emerged at the corner of his mouth, as if to mock himself… and also to celebrate his great luck.

Of course, he can't forget that this 5 years ago means that it was exactly 'that' same 5 years ago.

The truth is, Lin Nuo was a transmigrator. Someone who had been transported into this world as a child named Lin Nuo and was forced to live his life in this different world.

And over time, he became familiar with the way of this world.

This is a world of spiritual cultivation, a world where cultivators are the most respected, and many heroes would stand high and proud while receiving countless praises.

Lin Nuo had been born into a prestigious family. When he was 12 years old, he was recruited into the Xuanyun Sect, a famous sect known throughout the world, and became a disciple under the teaching of a female master.

Initially, he thought he had a protagonist's template and was destined to rise to the top. A reality where he possessed an extraordinary talent and inherited heaven-defying luck.

And that strong ego was amplified even further after he became a disciple of the Xuanyun Sect. 

He thought that his fame would rapidly spread far and wide and beauties from every corner would flock to him, and in the end, he would reach the pinnacle of life…

Bull! It was all a big fat lie!

No system, no golden spoon, no immortal destiny, and not even extraordinary talent.

As for harem? Sorry, but you came to the wrong place. It would already be great if he can survive by himself.

His talent turned out to be the worst of the worst in the Xuanyun sect. Despite 5 years of cultivation, he only reached the 2-rank of spiritual realm.

While those from the same generation as him had at least reached the 3-rank while some of them had even reached the 5-rank.

What protagonist's destiny? Isn't he just a cannon fodder? Everything was just in his head created with his vivid imagery.

Lin Nuo was truly ashamed to be born as a transmigrator. He had soiled its integrity.

In fact, look at that hateful junior, Su Kexin! Within just a year of joining this sect, she had reached the 3-rank of the spiritual realm, surpassing even himself.

Then, in the next few years, she will go on an expedition to accomplish a sect's mission and slay countless demons and evils.

From then, her fame will continuously expand while she became invincible to those in the same realm. So invincible that she can even fight against an opponent two levels above her and win on top.

Afterward, she will be praised by the masters and elders of the sect and get recognition from the ancient immortals from the ruins. And in the end, obtained the Sword of the Hero.

This! This was a true protagonist! The actual chosen's template!

But unfortunately, the naïve Lin Nuo genuinely thought that he will be the upcoming star. And the past him would have never imagined that in a year later, he would be kicked out of the sect.

And only until then will he learn that all along… he was carrying the villain's template! Playing the role of an evil boss!

He would be chased tirelessly by his enemies and was forced to jump into the Demonic spring as his only resort. Thus, awakening the Demonic root in him and transforming him into a full-fledged demon.

After his change, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds. And after going through countless evil schemes, he became a true villainous big boss who plagued and torment the common people.

But alas, in the end, a villain is just that. A villain.

Eventually, he was killed by Su Kexin, that stupid protagonist, on the edge of the frozen cliff.

But now… he had been reborn! Exactly 5 years ago!

With this second chance, he will cause massive catastrophes! One after another! Endlessly!

You think he will repent and become a virtuous upright person after gaining a second chance?! Dream on!

This grandpa is a true and true villain! A big evil boss!

Fortunately, it was still 5 years ago. Meaning that Su Kexin had yet risen to supremacy and was just a budding talent in the Xuanyun Sect.

Hehe!

He, Lin Nuo, had always dreamed of a day where the villain can trample and kill the protagonist!

Which is why, his plan is very straightforward.

Before her protagonist's template began, he will kill her and hide his presence from the world.

Then, after a year of waiting, jumped off the Demonic spring, awakened his Demonic root, and allow his strength to soar into the peak of the world!

In the future, even if he killed the people of the Xuanyun Sect, all those weaklings will have to bow and beg for forgiveness.

The world will be at his fingertips!

This was just like a cow crossing the high-voltage line, with lightning all the way! (1)

However, right now, he was just the miserable [the young and strong are lazy, and the boss is useless] (2)

Do you think he, a mere 2-rank spiritual realm cultivator, would knock at the protagonist's door, and fought her fair and square? Are you trying to destroy a diamond with a rock? Ridiculous!

Just by being on the same rank as the protagonist would default into below 50% chance of winning. And if it's one rank below, isn't he just courting death? If so, why stop at just courting? Why not proposed to death itself? Cmon be a man!

The most problematic thing was that Su Kexin has a celestial physique, when the blood soars, the strength also soars. The physique of this protagonist was truly just a collection of nonsense that can't be explained with logic. (3)

Not only that, unofficial fights are banned in the sect. And if you ran after killing someone, you will be chased to the end of the world.

All of a sudden, from outside the window, the sound of weapons meeting and clashing against each other, accompanied by fluctuations of spiritual power pushed Lin Nuo out of his train of thoughts.

Now that he thought about it, Xuanyun Sect has a morning exercise every day, and the disciples will practice swordsmanship and meditate independently.

A glimpse of curiosity masked his eyes while a smirk appeared on Lin Nuo's face.

"How interesting… let's check them"

Lin Nuo then changed into a clean white-robed and put on his sword to the side.

But not long after, Lin Nuo clicked his tongue in discontent.

This body from 5 years ago is truly trash even without comparing it to his peak at the demonic cultivation.

As for his sword skills, most of the skill he mastered was related to Taoism and magic. And he wasn't sure whether this body can handle the Demonic sword skills that he had learned in the past.

Basically, right now he was an utter fragile weakling, a baby chicken.

Shaking his head in disappointment, Lin Nuo opened the door and was about to go out.

But then, a hand suddenly knocked on his chest, thinking that it was the door that it was knocking on.

"Eh?" A cute and small voice entered his ears.

A petite and exquisite girl with bright silver moon hair, attached with soft ivory fox ears and a slightly wagging tail, appeared in Lin Nuo's line of sight.

This cute snowy fox loli… was the girl that he brought from the Lin family to this sect.

When the little girl saw Lin Nuo. She panicked and accidentally drop the steamed buns and porridge on the dirty floor.

"Ah, young master, I'm sorry! Ruo'er was about to knock on the door when young master came out. Ruo'er will clean it up, please don't be angry, young master!"

The poor little girl hurriedly squatted down and began picking up the boiling-hot breakfast with her bare hands.

"Hey, is he going to scold Ruo'er again?"

"She's just a little girl who made a small mistake, why does he have to bully her so much?"

"What a scummy bastard"

The nearby disciples cast all kinds of contemptuous gazes at him.

Lin Nuo frowned at this and began pondering for a while, trying to recall the past.

That's right, five years ago, he was nothing but a coward who, when faced by the outside world, was nothing but a useless idiot and could only scold this little girl to relieve his stress.

Lin Nuo gave a scoff at himself, seemingly disgusted at his past self.

But don't worry, this lord will fix this! (4)

_______

I have no idea what this means, seriously.

I also don't understand this line. [the young and strong do not work hard, the boss is pitiful].

Translator, I think the word 'the blood can soar, the strength also soars' is the name of the physique. So maybe you should keep the pinyin? But I'm not sure myself cause im only on chapter 2 of this novel T-T.

I think I understand what the last 2 lines meant. But it doesn't flow right. 'Ha ha. Bastards, the Lord is back!'
