I Thought My First Source Was Destiny, But It Turned Out To Be A Terrifying Villain

In the evening at Subduing Dragon Village, the bright moon was half-hidden by layers of clouds. At the village entrance, an old locust tree, long withered, had an owl perched on it, hooting, making the usually quiet village at this hour seem eerily strange.

Yesterday, Yang Yu brought Ming Wu back home. His cheap old mother, Mu Dan, warmly welcomed Ming Wu as if she were her daughter-in-law.

She completely ignored Yang Yu, while Ming Wu kept covering her mouth, stealing glances and enjoying herself.

In the evening, Yang Yu, unable to sleep, went up to the roof alone.

Looking at the half-moon in the sky, he began to ponder.

This time back, he still hadn't seen his father. When he asked his mother, she seemed to be avoiding something, her brows tightly furrowed as she deliberately evaded the topic.

"It's been over a year now, Dad, where exactly did you go?"

For some reason, Yang Yu's heart grew increasingly uneasy.

He had previously felt a strange confidence, never worrying because he could sense his father's powerful strength.

"What is Mom hiding from me? Why won't she tell me? And why are there so many Soul Controllers in the village content to live ordinary lives and stay here?"

All sorts of doubts filled Yang Yu's mind.

"Could it be that my Yang Family has a great enemy? Are we hiding here to avoid disaster?"

It wasn't an exaggeration for Yang Yu to think this way. Wasn't this how novels in his previous life were written?

"Brother Yu!"

Ming Wu climbed up and sat beside Yang Yu.

"Not asleep yet? You can't sleep either?"

Ming Wu nodded.

"I... I miss my mother!"

Yang Yu's mother's warmth and gentleness during the day made Ming Wu miss her own mother, who had been killed long ago, even more.

"Oh? Your mother? Didn't you say there was no one left in your family?"

Ming Wu shook her head, then nodded, looking at Yang Yu as if she were about to make a major decision.

"Brother... Brother Yu! Do you want to hear my story?"

Yang Yu was startled!

Then he recalled the plot of that novel from his previous life.

"Could it be another Soul Beast? And being killed to have its ring taken, no, its Fate Soul taken?"

"No way? It couldn't be like that, could it?"

Coming back to his senses, he nodded at Ming Wu.

"Brother Yu, actually, I'm not human!"

Yang Yu was startled and instinctively moved sideways.

Ming Wu chuckled!

"Actually, I'm not human. I'm from the Nether Race."

"Please, can you just say everything at once? You scared me."

Yang Yu looked at Ming Wu with a face full of black lines.

"Our Nether Race coexisted peacefully with humans for ten thousand years. We were also a major race on this continent."

"Until those horrors from the Otherworld descended."

Yang Yu was startled!

"Otherworld? Horrors?"

Ming Wu nodded and continued:

"Those horrors, they don't cultivate Fate Souls, but they devour souls."

"I can never forget the scene of my family being devoured. So I swore I would cultivate diligently and become a Ninth Rank Soul Controller to avenge the slaughter of my race!"

Thinking of this, Ming Wu shed tears of hatred and helplessness.

Yang Yu patted Ming Wu's back beside her.

"Don't worry! I'll help you."

Ming Wu was startled, then looked up at Yang Yu.

"Really? Will you really help me?"

Yang Yu nodded.

"Yes, because we're friends!"

At the same time, Yang Yu kept thinking about the details Ming Wu mentioned.

"Otherworld horrors? Don't cultivate Fate Souls, devour souls? When did such beings appear in my Chaos Profound Yellow World?"

"Could it be that my cheap old man's disappearance is also related to this?"

All signs pointed to the Otherworld horrors.

It seemed that to understand the full picture of this matter, he needed to start with these Otherworld horrors.

"Brother Yu, thank you!"

"Thank me for what?"

"Because we're friends!"

~

The two sat on the rooftop until the sky turned white.

Yang Yu got up and stretched, then looked at Ming Wu beside him.

"It's almost dawn, let's go down!"

"Mm."

In the time that followed, besides comforting Ming Wu, Yang Yu also constantly inquired about the terrifying matters of the Otherworld in the village.

However, the villagers, upon hearing the words "Otherworld," widened their eyes in surprise and avoided the topic.

Yang Yu could only give up in helplessness!

"Reporting, Miss, the young master has been inquiring about the terrifying matters of the Otherworld! I don't know how he found out about this."

Elder Hai, who had been secretly following Yang Yu, came to Yang Yu's cheap mother, Mu Dan, to report.

Mu Dan thought for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.

"Some things, the more you try to avoid them, the more you can't avoid them."

"We have been in this world for over ten thousand years. Because we couldn't cultivate Fate Souls, we switched to the path of Soul Devouring. Was that wrong?"

"Since ancient times, the strong have been respected. The strong devouring the weak is a natural law. If it weren't to break through the barrier of this world and allow us to break through the shackles and return to the upper realm, who would choose the path of Soul Devouring?"

"Miss, we are not wrong! What is wrong is the rules of the upper realm, what is wrong is this heaven, what is wrong is this inherently restless world."

"Elder Hai, my husband?"

"The leader is currently in seclusion, devouring souls, and there are still no signs of a breakthrough. It must be that his origin was severely damaged, and the human souls in this world are probably not enough to supply him. Coupled with the surveillance of the guardians of this world, he has no choice but to..."

Mu Dan looked out the window and shook her head.

"What if the young master finds out about this?"

"Forget it! Let's just go with the flow! No matter what, he is still of the Yang Clan bloodline, and he is my Mu Dan's son. Even if one day he knows that the so-called terrifying Otherworld is us, so what?"

"War itself does not distinguish between good and evil. The victor is king, it's just a matter of different stances. If he knows, he will definitely understand us."

Suddenly!

Mu Dan was startled!

She remembered that child, Ming Wu.

At first, she had sensed that Ming Wu was definitely not human, but after testing, there were no major issues, so she had put her mind at ease.

But thinking about it now, she remembered something from ten thousand years ago.

That was when they first arrived in this world. Because they couldn't adapt to the rules of this world and couldn't awaken Fate Souls, they activated the path of Soul Devouring and devoured a race. And on that girl, the shadow of that race was faintly visible.

Hiss

"If that's really the case, wouldn't those two children together be?"

"No, no, I have to find a way to separate them."

"Could it be that the reason Yu'er knows about this is because Ming Wu told him?"

Mu Dan kept thinking.

"Elder Hai!"

"You secretly did this..."

"Yes!"

Elder Hai turned and disappeared from the room.

"I hope you don't blame your mother. Everything I do is for your own good."

Mu Dan murmured as she looked in the direction of Yang Yu's room.

The holiday quickly passed, and Yang Yu and Ming Wu were now preparing to return to the academy.

Mu Dan was busy packing bags of dry food and other items for the two of them, just like usual.

She was also surprisingly enthusiastic towards Ming Wu, making Yang Yu wonder if Ming Wu was the real child.

The few of them walked to the entrance of the village.

"Alright, Mother. You should go back! Don't see us off anymore, we're leaving."

Mu Dan tapped Yang Yu's head.

"You brat, what's wrong with your mother seeing you off? We won't see each other for a long time again. Aren't you afraid your mother will suffer from the pain of missing you?"

Yang Yu winced in pain and gave his cheap mother a big hug.

"Alright! It's not like I'm not coming back."

"Let's go!"

Then he took Ming Wu and strode away!

Mu Dan watched Yang Yu gradually disappear into the distance, sighed, and turned back towards the village.

Chaos Profound Yellow World, Three Ancestors Space.

Chi Yu opened his eyes.

"I hope this First Source can be passed smoothly!"

Looking at the Three Ancestors who were waiting by his side, currently meditating, Chi Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he slapped his hand, and the World Master of the great world where the Soul Control Continent was located walked out.

"Greetings, Father God!"

"Mm, rise!"

"Go and investigate which Otherworld beings have descended upon your Soul Control Continent world in the past ten thousand years."

"Yes."

A few breaths later...

The Great World Master returned to the Three Ancestors Space.

"Reporting, Father God, it has been investigated!"

"Speak."

"It is a family from the Profound Sky World in the Middle World, forced to descend due to family disputes!"

"Oh?"

"Does that family's surname happen to be Yang?"

The World Master was startled, looking up at Chi Yu.

"How did Father God know?"

"My First Source is still training with this Yang surname, and is currently with the descender."

The World Master was relieved.

"Why do the beings of the Soul Control Continent world call them terrifying?"

"Reporting, Father God! That Yang clan, because the cultivation system of the Soul Control Continent is different, cannot awaken their Fate Soul and cannot cultivate the path of the Fate Soul, so they switched to cultivating the path of Soul Devouring."

"Because of the numerous killings, they are exceptionally terrifying, hence they are called terrifying by the beings of the continent."

Chi Yu was startled!

"My First Source is seated as a villain?"

Chi Yu, who originally thought he was the protagonist according to novel tropes, smiled bitterly to himself at this moment.

"This..."

"I didn't expect it! After investigating and investigating, I originally thought it was a righteous character, greatly related to that terror, but it turns out I myself have become a member of the terror."

"What can be done about that? The Three Thousand Source Methods are practiced according to fate anyway, I can't re-condense them just because it's a villain!"

After thinking for a moment, Chi Yu understood.

He stood up and looked at the starry sky, pausing his steps.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be a qualified villain!"

Coming back to his senses.

"You may go down!"

"Yes."

The World Master bowed and withdrew, then disappeared into the Three Ancestors Space.

Chi Yu sat cross-legged again on the World Creation Azure Lotus, then closed his eyes.

Soul Control Continent.

Yang Yu, who was still on his way to the academy, opened his eyes.

This time, the two of them were relieved. They rented a carriage in Good Fortune Cloud Town to travel.

Inside the carriage, Ming Wu was still resting, perhaps tired, letting out soft breaths, her cherry lips quite alluring.

Yang Yu, however, furrowed his brow tightly.

As a member of the terrifying group, wouldn't that make him Ming Wu's enemy?

What a fated calamity!

Yang Yu barked in frustration!

What a mess this is, the plot twists and turns, it's too melodramatic.

If it weren't for the sake of not dragging things out, he could definitely write several hundred chapters about this.

Sigh! What should I do now?

Should I try to distance myself from her from now on?

No, no, that's too unfair to her. Such a pure girl, I can't bear to do it!

Yang Yu glanced out the window.

"Come out, Village Chief!"

Elder Hai, who was following in the dark, was startled!

Damn! I've been discovered!

Helpless, he had no choice but to show himself.

"Ahem! Uh, Little Yu! What a coincidence!"

Elder Hai greeted him guiltily.

"Alright, Village Chief! I know everything."

"Ah?"

"You brat, what do you know?"

Yang Yu glanced at the sleeping Ming Wu beside him.

Elder Hai understood, and with a wave of his large hand, Ming Wu entered a deeper sleep.

"I already know about the terrifying matters of the Otherworld, and I know that I am one of them."

Elder Hai looked at Yang Yu in shock.

Then he bowed and knelt!

"This old servant, Yang Hai, greets the Young Master!"

Yang Yu was startled, then nodded.

"Young Master! Don't blame the leader and the young lady, we all have our reasons!"

Yang Yu nodded, not showing any resentment.

"It's fine!"

"The reason I called you out this time is to ask if you have any means to modify or erase memories?"

Elder Hai was startled, then he glanced at Ming Wu beside him.

Yang Yu nodded.

"To be honest, Young Master! Miss also has this intention! The reason she sent this old servant here is to secretly use means to completely sever the connection between Young Master and Miss Ming Wu."

Yang Yu gave a wry smile.

"Then how should it be done?"

Yang Hai looked at Yang Yu and sighed.

"Young Master, have you really made up your mind?"

Actually, Yang Yu had thought about this question, but one flower is one world. Treating it as a trial is nothing more than a fleeting moment.

He nodded.

"Then shall this old servant begin?"

"Yes."

Elder Hai began to form hand seals.

Half an hour later, a black light shot into Ming Wu's soul.

Ming Wu frowned slightly, letting out soft murmurs.

After a few breaths, she returned to normal.

Elder Hai exhaled, withdrawing his hands.

Yang Yu nodded, then instructed the coachman a few words, and finally glanced at Ming Wu again.

He shook his head, sighed, and disappeared into the carriage with Elder Hai.

As evening approached.

Ming Wu in the carriage had a nightmare. In the nightmare, she kept calling out to her Brother Yu.

Suddenly, she woke up abruptly!

"Brother Yu!"
