"Attend to me!" he commanded.
Instantly, two figures materialized—his left and right-hand commanders, the most powerful demons in his service after himself. They dropped to their knees without hesitation.
"My Lord," they spoke in unison.
The Heavenly Demon extended his hand toward them.
What happened next would have made lesser beings vomit from sheer horror.
Dark tendrils of soul-binding energy erupted from his fingers, piercing through their chests and wrapping around their very essence.
"AaaaRrrrGghhh!" Their screams tore through the air as their souls were branded with his mark, chained to his will for eternity.
"Your souls are bound now," he said coldly as their agonized cries echoed through the palace. "If any betrayal is even thought of, you will all die. Your very existence depends on absolute loyalty."
When their screams finally subsided, he pointed to the humanoid form lying before him.
"From now on, serve him as my son. The son of the Heavenly Demon."
His commanders looked up with eyes still glazed from pain, but their understanding was absolute.
"What... what shall we call him, my Lord?" the left commander managed to ask.
The Heavenly Demon's consciousness was already beginning to fragment, the sync seed pulling part of his soul toward the new body as the merger completed.
[ Body has been established as a gateway for soul's return. ]
Looking towards the body and thinking of giving it a name, he gave one:
"Cang Wuhen."
The Heavenly Demon's gaze lingered on the perfected vessel before him, studying every detail with calculating precision.
The body was flawless—sculpted features that would command attention without triggering suspicion, proportions that spoke of hidden strength beneath a mortal appearance.
"System," he commanded, his voice cutting through the chamber's oppressive silence. "Full body specification report. I need to know every capability and limitation of this vessel."
[DISPLAYING COMPREHENSIVE BODY ANALYSIS]

[Autopilot Protocol: Available for behavioral automation while maintaining host override capability]
He looked down at the motionless form. "This will do, but also add texture change for the penis; women love that. All the others are more than sufficient for what's required."
From the memory of Lin Feng, he had seemed to have gotten so much strange knowledge from the other world, including what it referred to as porn. But, naturally, rather than just seeing to experience them, he had created his own playground, the world for himself.
[AUTOPILOT PROTOCOL READY FOR ACTIVATION]
"Activate it," he ordered. "When the soul transfer completes, let the system guide natural responses until full consciousness integration."
[AUTOPILOT ENGAGED - BEHAVIORAL PARAMETERS SET]
Without another word, he stretched his hand forward. Energy coursed through his meridians as he completely disregarded the strain on his current vessel.
This body was disposable now—a temporary shell whose only purpose was to complete this final gambit.
Space folded around him like origami in reverse, reality bending to his will as he hurled himself through dimensions.
He moved faster than light itself, a streak of demonic power racing toward the one place in this world that could kill him.
He materialized directly above the Death Valley. The one who was strong enough to create worlds was not strong enough to survive a place like this.
The irony wasn't lost on him.
The moment his feet touched the contaminated ground, his body began dying.
His skin withered instantly, spiritual energy hemorrhaging from every pore as the concentrated corruption attacked his very essence.
Three minutes—that's all any being had in this place before complete spiritual dissolution.
Even the Heavenly Demon wasn't immune.
"Haah," he gasped, feeling his life force bleeding away.
Without hesitation, he scattered every single elixir from his inventory across the valley floor. Hundreds of thousands of priceless treasures rained down like golden snow, each one worth more than entire kingdoms.
[HOST! LIFE SIGNS CRITICAL! EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!]
"System," he said calmly as his flesh continued to decay,
The warning messages stopped. Even the system seemed to understand.
"Use the remaining destiny points for two purposes." His voice grew weaker as corruption ate through his throat. "First—ensure that destiny allows that body to die at the hands of that black fox woman while making both of them fall to this location. She's the most loyal one among the seven."
[PROCESSING...]
"Second—neutralize my soul's luck value completely. Set it to zero."
This was crucial.
The Heavenly Demon knew that his natural fate was cursed with negative karma—a cosmic balance designed to ensure his ultimate defeat through betrayal, accidents, or unforeseen circumstances.
To break free from heaven's plot entirely, he needed to sever even that connection.
[DESTINY POINTS: 375,000 → 0]
[LUCK VALUE NEUTRALIZED: -999,999 → 0]
[HOST HAS 47 SECONDS REMAINING]
"Final command," he whispered, his body now more corpse than living flesh. "Use the last reward. Upgrade yourself into something completely different from your current identity while treating it as a secondary identity."
[ANALYZING COUNTERPART SYSTEMS...]
[OPTIMAL INVERSION IDENTIFIED: MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROTOCOL]
[CHARACTERISTICS: Helpful rather than destructive, point-greedy rather than freely giving, focused on healing rather than harming]
The irony was perfect. Where the Villain System had been about domination and corruption, this Medical System would be about healing and growth.
Yet it would retain all the underlying power—just channeled through an entirely different framework.
[MEDICAL SYSTEM PERSONALITY MATRIX FORMING...]
[UPGRADE INITIATING...]
The Heavenly Demon felt his consciousness beginning to fade as his physical form finally surrendered to the valley's lethal embrace.
But there was one last task.
With his remaining strength, he pulled the ancient ring from his finger—the family crest that would serve as proof of his identity when he returned.
He scattered his robes, his talismans, every piece of evidence that would support the narrative he intended to build.
When he came back to claim the heroines, he would need these props. The abandoned son was returning to his birthright.
The heir who takes the place of his father.
"Transfer my soul to the new world," he commanded with his last breath. "Let this body die and this endless cycle be broken forever."
[SOUL TRANSFER PROTOCOL INITIATING...]
[SYNC SEED ACTIVATED...]
[CONSCIOUSNESS UPLOAD: 100%]
The Heavenly Demon's body crumbled to ash, his form dissolving into the poisoned air of Death Valley.
All that remained were scattered artifacts and the lingering echoes of his final laugh.
----
Far away, within a strange crack of time and space, on a planet shimmering in blue and green, within country A, inside a town, within a hospital room, resonated a cry of a child.
"Uwaaaaahhhhh—"
The sound was intense enough to make the hospital staff sprint towards the boy, including the man who appeared to be part of the staff and had himself been present at the time of birth but couldn't control his heartbeat as he looked towards the new child held in the arms of his wife while breathing, eyes blinking and then uttering
"I must say, honey, the baby definitely has a lot of energy...."
