The Villain Became the Protagonists’ Nightmare

Chapter 3: The System’s Generous Compensation:

“But if we operate in this world, things are quite different because this is an extremely powerful world.”

“A very powerful world? Wouldn’t that make the Heavenly Dao even stronger and our mission more difficult?” Xiao Lingfeng asked, puzzled.

[Ding! Under normal circumstances, you are correct. However, the Heavenly Dao of this world is different; it is very ambitious, which makes this world quite abnormal.

This Heavenly Dao is not satisfied with the status thing and wants to further enhance its power. The way it enhances its power is by producing cultivators with enough strength to drive the world’s advancement.

This is why Heavenly Dao treats protagonists like its own children.

But this ambitious Heavenly Dao, after cultivating several Chosen Ones, didn’t achieve the desired results. The Chosen Ones failed to break the world’s limits. Consequently, instead of succeeding, the Heavenly Dao depleted much of its power.

So, it devised a new plan, akin to raising venomous creatures, to nurture a sufficiently powerful Chosen One.

It created countless Chosen Ones, each gifted with different amounts of destiny, but all of them true protagonists.

Since the world can only have one true protagonist, these Chosen Ones must undergo a brutal, fierce competition, ultimately determining the single victor who will become the true protagonist.

This is the Heavenly Dao’s plan: to cultivate the overall strength of these protagonists through constant battles.

Fighting opponents of equal strength or even stronger not only requires immense martial prowess but also exceptional wisdom.

Under such circumstances, the potential of the Chosen Ones can be maximized. The one who survives all competitors and reaches the pinnacle would likely break this world’s limits, leading it to a new level.

And this plan can benefit us significantly. To ensure the success of this plan, the Heavenly Dao invested most of its power into it.

Normally, each world has only one Chosen One, and the Heavenly Dao fully protects them until they reach their peak state.

But in this world, there are many Chosen Ones, and the Heavenly Dao’s intention is for them to kill each other. Thus, it won’t care about the life or death of these mass-produced Chosen Ones.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao of this world has already depleted much of its original power to execute this plan perfectly, so it is now in a state of dormancy.

Therefore, the greatest obstacle to hunting protagonists is no longer a threat to us]

The system explained.

“But what does this have to do with you being dormant inside me for 70 years and never showing up?” Xiao Lingfeng asked.

[Host, the situation is like this. Although the Heavenly Dao isn’t particularly concerned with these protagonists, they are still its creations, and their growth is crucial for the world’s advancement.

Therefore, before their golden fingers and destiny power are activated, granting them self-preservation capabilities, the Heavenly Dao still provides special protection to prevent accidents.

During this period, even if the system were activated, we wouldn’t be able to do much under the Heavenly Dao’s protection, and it would only waste the system’s energy.

Moreover, if we acted before the Heavenly Dao fell asleep, it could alter its plan, which would be extremely detrimental to us.

So, the system had to wait until the Heavenly Dao completely fell asleep before self-activating to ensure your interests, Host.

Now, the Heavenly Dao is in dormancy, and the protagonists in this world have reached their prime. We can hunt them at will]

Hearing this, Xiao Lingfeng couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

If the Heavenly Dao had fallen asleep two or three days later, he, the protagonist hunter, might have died.

Out of consideration, Xiao Lingfeng decided that when he encountered those protagonists in the future, he would torture them thoroughly before killing them.

However, he still had some concerns.

“System, these protagonists are protected by destiny, and it’s common for them to survive great dangers. Can I, a Martial Commander Realm expert, really kill them?”

[Rest assured, Host. Because you have transmigrated into this world, you aren’t affected by its destiny. Therefore, the protagonists’ aura of lowered intelligence has no effect on you.

The system can also cooperate with you to reduce the effectiveness of the protagonists’ destiny. With this combination, the protagonists are just ordinary people with a bit of luck and tenacity.

As long as you plan well, they are merely your prey]

Hearing this, Xiao Lingfeng smiled, displaying his handsome demeanor.

However, his words weren’t polite, as he wasn’t here to listen to flattery.

“Stop the nonsense. Other systems come with newbie packages, and you made me wait 70 years. This package should be four or five times bigger. Are you giving it now or later?”

[Well, alright. This is to increase your chances of success against the protagonists]

After saying this, a mechanical prompt sounded in Xiao Lingfeng’s mind.

[Ding! Due to the inconvenience caused by the system spirit forcibly halting the system without the host’s consent, compensation measures are provided.

The compensation includes: a sixth-rank elixir, one Martial King Pill; a sixth-rank elixir, one Beast King Pill; a special elixir, one Loyalty Pill]

“Oh, not bad!” Although Xiao Lingfeng’s expression remained unchanged, he was overjoyed inside.

The Martial King Pill was one of the rarest sixth-rank elixirs, requiring extremely precious materials and a high level of difficulty in refining.
