"The Heavenly Emperor is devoid of virtue, abandoning the Mandate of Heaven; he is brutal and malevolent, indulging in atrocities until the heavens rage and the people seethe, with both heaven and earth rising in rebellion!"

"Kill him! Use the Heavenly Emperor's blood to sacrifice to all living beings!"

"Use the Heavenly Emperor's blood to bury all spirits!"

On the Northern Profound Continent, beyond the Thirty-three Heavens, the sounds of battle and slaughter roared to the skies.

The Heavenly Palace, once solemn and incomparably holy, was now a scene of utter devastation. Immeasurable stars had been shattered, and even the towering South Heaven Gate had been ground into dust.

The Heavenly Emperor, who once ruled the Heavenly Palace and held the Three Realms in awe, was now suppressed within the Bronze Ancient Mirror by countless terrifying powerhouses.

Yet, even so, the cultivators remained gripped by anxiety.

This was because, even with numerous Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors joining forces, they still found it difficult to completely annihilate this Heavenly Emperor.

Before the Bronze Ancient Mirror, a youth with the appearance of an exiled immortal gazed at the ancient mirror, his expression relaxed.

Surrounding him were several stunningly beautiful women and numerous Quasi-Emperors.

"If the Heavenly Emperor does not die, given his temperament, once he breaks free from the seal, he will surely not let us off. What are we to do?!"

"Indeed, the Heavenly Emperor is extremely cruel. If he does not die, how can we ever be at peace!"

"Do not fear, everyone. The Bronze Ancient Mirror is a supreme immortal artifact. Within three days, the Heavenly Emperor will surely perish and vanish into nothingness."

"Emperor Ye is truly a promising youth. That we were able to suppress the Heavenly Emperor this time is all thanks to Emperor Ye's brilliant leadership."

"Emperor Ye has rendered a great service by ridding the Three Realms of this great demon. After the Heavenly Emperor dies, Emperor Ye should inherit the throne and rule the Three Realms."

"You flatter me. It is I, Ye Chen, who should thank you all. Being able to suppress the Heavenly Emperor this time was inseparable from your trust."

Inside the Bronze Ancient Mirror.

Gu Changqing listened to the voices from the outside world, and a bitter smile could not help but tug at the corners of his mouth.

Fortune plays tricks on people.

Who could have imagined?

A perfectly normal youth from the twenty-first century would suddenly transmigrate? And, to make matters worse, he had transmigrated into the body of the ultimate villain in a novel world.

The most fatal part was that this ultimate villain was currently being suppressed by all the powerhouses of the world combined, and in three days, he would be ground into nothingness by this Bronze Ancient Mirror.

There was absolutely no possibility of a comeback!

Gu Changqing smiled bitterly, his gaze passing through the ancient mirror to look at the outside world.

In his mind, fragments of memories surged forth.

This world was exceptionally vast, containing the Immortal Realm, Forbidden Zones, and oceans and continents that held billions upon billions of living beings.

The variety of life was vast: demons, devils, immortals, saints...

The powerful could burn mountains and boil seas, extinguishing star-filled skies with a flick of their fingers.

And he, shockingly, was the former strongest being in this world.

Of course, he was also the greatest villain.

The protagonist of this novel was that youth with the appearance of an exiled immortal, Ye Chen.

The novel told the story of a nobody who, relying on various encounters and opportunities, staged a counterattack all the way to the top, eventually uniting all living beings to slay him, the Heavenly Emperor, and becoming the master of the Three Realms.

That he could achieve this was, in reality, largely due to the several heroines by Ye Chen's side.

Following the memories in his mind, Gu Changqing's gaze shifted toward those women.

Each of these women possessed beauty that could stun the heavens.

More importantly, each held an extraordinary status.

However, until the very end of the novel, Ye Chen hadn't even held the hands of these heroines, earning him the nickname among readers as the 'Number One Eunuch with the Surname Ye.'

It was truly pathetic.

However, compared to Ye Chen, this 'Eunuch with the Surname Ye,' it seemed that the current Gu Changqing was even more pathetic.

Transmigrating into such a situation right from the start, there was absolutely no room to maneuver!

What the hell!

"The Heavenly Emperor has indeed committed countless evils and deserves to die, but what the hell does that have to do with me, Gu?"

Gu Changqing was incredibly depressed, ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping through his heart.

[Ding!]

But just at this moment, a crisp sound suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Life Simulator activated. Does the host choose to restart editing their life?]

A system?

Gu Changqing's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, the ancients did not deceive me.

Transmigrators really do have systems!

Gu Changqing immediately began to study the system's functions.

He didn't have much time left now.

Fortunately, the system was exceptionally simple and straightforward. To put it bluntly:

It was about writing his own life—he could write the past to change the present.

This is interesting.

With my excellent nine years of compulsory education, can't I just toy with you all?

Gu Changqing's eyes lit up, and a famous quote from his past life involuntarily surfaced in his mind: As long as you have culture, Mundo, you can go wherever you want...

[Ding! Does the host choose to start writing their life?]

The system's voice rang out once more.

Gu Changqing dared not hesitate any longer and immediately chose yes.

His current state was poor; he had been groggy since the moment of transmigration, and he hadn't even fully absorbed the memories of his predecessor.

However, in just an instant, as he looked at a young woman outside, his thoughts began to flow like a spring.

"Alright, let's start with you, Gu Youwei."

[Ding! Note: The host must write a life that aligns with reality; you cannot fabricate things at will.]

The system's voice popped up again.

Gu Changqing understood this deeply.

After all, if he could just spout nonsense and make things up, it would be too much of a bug.

For instance, if he could summon the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure of the Primordial Era, just by raising his hand, or transform into Dao Ancestor Hongjun just by taking a step.

That would be too ridiculous.

After neutralizing Cao Yuwei's attack this time, Mei Gongzi did not rush to counterattack, but simply stood still in place.

Cao Yuwei frowned slightly. Was this young girl's perception truly so keen? After he had transformed his flames into armor, he had possessed other methods; if Mei Gongzi had followed up with an attack, he would have been confident in using those means to restrain her. But Mei Gongzi did not advance, forcing him to interrupt the ability he had been preparing to unleash.

The battle blade slashed out once more, its potent blade intent even stronger than before. Cao Yuwei followed the blade, his body and weapon becoming one as he charged straight toward Mei Gongzi.

Mei Gongzi used the Heavenly Secret Plume in her hand to form the Heavenly Mysterious Circle once again, and with a momentary shift, she switched her position. While neutralizing the opponent's attack, she also broke his lock. In the next instant, she was already on the other side. A golden-red light flashed and vanished from Cao Yuwei's body; had she not dodged quickly, another ability would undoubtedly have descended upon her.

A battle of attrition! She seemed to be intent on wearing Cao Yuwei down.

However, no one doubted the origin of this ability, as the Peacock Demon Race was naturally most adept at Stellar Transposition. Her technique shared the same marvelous effect as that art.
