In the Great Shang Dynasty, within the Imperial Guard Enforcement Agency.

The morning sun hung high, mist permeated the air, and the north wind blew southwards. It was a pleasant day.

A young man, clad in a Flying Fish Robe, with dark eyes, black hair, a handsome face, and a slender build, stood holding a broom, silent.

His name was Su Changqing. Three days ago, he had transmigrated to this world and become a member of the Imperial Guard Enforcement Agency.

He had committed some grave sin; transmigrating twice. Who else had such an opportunity?

His first life was as a programmer on Earth. He worked overtime to earn money but died from exhaustion due to lack of sleep.

His second life took him to the Tushita Palace in the Thirty-three Heavens of the Primordial Era, to Laozi's place.

This should have been an unprecedented opportunity, but the place he entered was the Eight Trigrams Furnace...

Engulfed by endless flames, before he could even react, he turned to ashes.

His third life was even more miserable.

This world was incredibly powerful. Great beings could leap over mountains and rivers, their divine abilities astonishing, moving mountains and filling seas, severing rivers and streams with ease.

The Great Shang Dynasty, where he was, was one of the top powers in this world, suppressing all its rivals. Be it the martial arts world, Shifting Flowers Palace, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Sun Moon Holy Cult, Bright Cult, Tubo, or Dali... they all looked down upon the world.

The Imperial Guard Enforcement Agency would recruit miscellaneous laborers from those with clean backgrounds to expand its forces.

Su Changqing was recruited in this manner. With poor talent, he was a mere laborer in the Imperial Guard, responsible for sweeping the front courtyard of the Imperial Guard's main hall.

Two days ago, while sweeping the ground, he accidentally offended the Iron Claw Flying Eagle, who killed him with a single claw.

Su Changqing's soul transmigrated into this body, and he arrived in this world.

This was a world where killings were swift and decisive!

Human lives were treated as mere weeds!

"I'm holding a broom, but I'm no Sweeping Monk..." Su Changqing looked at the broom in his hand and sighed helplessly.

"Su Changqing, have you finished sweeping?" A tall figure suddenly stood before Su Changqing.

Li Kongxiang, also a laborer assigned to sweeping, was Su Changqing's superior. His aptitude wasn't high either.

However, he was tall and well-built. Most laborers had no martial skills and were no match for him.

"Come and help me clean the main hall!"

He gazed calmly at Su Changqing, his tone not heavy, but commanding.

Su Changqing had no other choice but to follow him. Refusing would result in a severe beating.

Suddenly, a light screen appeared before his eyes.

[Great Villain System!]

[Name]: Li Kongxiang [Realm]: Body Refinement Stage Seven [Destiny]: Mediocre (White) [Affection]: -20 [Life Script]: None [Recent Turn of Events]: While sweeping the main hall, while cleaning the Three Pure Ones statue, he found three pieces of martial arts tea, a tribute from the Daoist sect to the Great Shang Dynasty, hidden within a crack in the statue. He consumed them on the spot, changing his bones and aptitude. His progress became rapid daily, his talent greatly increased, and he later broke through to the Xiantian Realm, becoming a Deputy Thousand Household of the Imperial Guard...

What is this?

Su Changqing's eyes narrowed, and a thought struck him.

Having lived through the flourishing era of online literature in his previous life, he had naturally read a lot.

"Is this my golden finger? But it doesn't seem to talk like others..."

"No! My golden finger seems to be able to see others' opportunities?"

Su Changqing scanned down and his expression changed as he landed on the last line of small text.

This was Li Kongxiang's opportunity. After obtaining the three Enlightenment Tea Leaves, he would even become a Deputy Thousand Household, commanding nearly a thousand Imperial Guards.

Although Su Changqing was also in the Imperial Guard, he was merely a laborer. Such disciples numbered no less than tens of thousands within the Enforcement Agency!

Li Kongxiang's Destiny was White, very ordinary.

Some beings were born extraordinary, favored by destiny, destined for unparalleled brilliance and astonishing the world.

Those with low Destiny could not easily change their fate. A random disaster could lead to their death, with no opportunities.

Just like Li Kongxiang before him, whose Destiny was White. After obtaining this opportunity, he would eventually reach the position of Deputy Thousand Household, even surpassing the Iron Claw Flying Eagle.

Destiny was divided into Black, White, Blue, Green, Purple, Gold...

"Then what about me?" Su Changqing felt a hint of confusion and checked his own status panel.

[Name]: Su Changqing [Realm]: Body Refinement Stage Five [Destiny]: Black Clouds Cover the Top (Black)

[Life Script]: Evil God Descends (An Early-Death Villain among Minor Supporting Characters)

He came from another world, considered himself extraordinary, and possessed mixed aptitudes. When he broke through Body Refinement Stage Seven, his internal energy surged backward, and he forcibly pushed through the bottleneck. Before dying, his meridians were severed, his internal organs ruptured, he was expelled from the Imperial Guard Enforcement Agency, and lived in destitution and hardship. Three days later, he froze to death on the street in the heavy snow, turning into a lifelike ice sculpture, a truly gruesome sight.

Age: Sixteen.

How tragic.

It was almost too horrific to look at directly.

Was this his end?

He had sunk to sweeping floors, yet still considered himself special. This assessment was too harsh.

He hadn't done anything bad in his past life; he'd worked diligently as a programmer, yet he never expected such a terrible fate.

"Not only am I a minor supporting character, but I'm also a villain!"

Su Changqing remained silent in his heart. Since there was a supporting character in the script, there must be a protagonist.

He was probably the most unfortunate transmigator, bringing shame to his fellow Earthlings...

The two walked along the smooth bluestone slabs. Ahead stood an imposing grand hall, the main hall of the Imperial Guard.

Su Changqing gazed at Li Kongxiang's tall figure.

Snatch it!

"Su Changqing, you sweep three side halls, and I'll handle the main hall," Li Kongxiang turned his head and said with a smile.

The main hall was the largest but also the cleanest, making it easy to sweep.

The sunlight outside was gentle, casting soft shadows that dappled through the windows.

It illuminated Su Changqing's handsome face. He looked at the other person and suddenly smiled.

"Commander Li, how about I sweep all of these?"

"You do have some awareness. If you hadn't provoked the Hundred Households that day, you might have retired peacefully within the Imperial Guard," Li Kongxiang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly.

Su Changqing's attitude pleased him greatly.

"You clean meticulously here and don't slack off. I'll check on you later."

Li Kongxiang turned and left. He was about to break through Body Refinement Stage Eight and would soon be an official member of the Imperial Guard, no longer needing to sweep floors.

He didn't have time to chat with a useless person like Su Changqing.

"Alright, take care..." Su Changqing watched him leave.

He held the broom and began to sweep slowly. He wasn't in a hurry to find anything but carefully observed his surroundings.

He had already finished sweeping the area outside the halls, and there was still plenty of time before the end of his shift.

"Those three Enlightenment Tea Leaves are hidden within the gaps of the Three Pure Ones statues enshrined in the Imperial Guard's main hall. I just don't know which one."

There were three lifelike statues before him, made of clay, clearly crafted by a master.

The Three Pure Ones need only clay bodies, while the Buddha requires golden plating.

Jade Purity, Grand Purity, Supreme Purity—three statues in total.

"Saints, it's not that Su Changqing is disrespectful, but I must touch you today..."

Su Changqing looked towards the door. Seeing no one approaching, he quickly climbed onto the altar with his broom.

Jade Purity—nothing.

Supreme Purity—nothing.

Let alone gaps, their entire bodies were covered in gold paint, sealing them tightly, their radiant glow so bright they could serve as mirrors.

The Imperial Guard never lacked money.

"Saint Taiqing, you killed a small soul in the Eight Trigrams Furnace before. I wonder if you remember..."

If it's not proper, don't look.

Su Changqing silently prayed in his heart and reached out to touch the body of Grand Purity.
