Synopsis
In a world where humans have the power to become gods and immortals—where devils are not myths, but beings who slaughter millions of innocent people to advance their cultivation— When the divine realm is under siege by a multiversal-level eldritch entity, threatening to consume the entire universe as a whole, can our protagonist rise from being a lowly mortal to an eternal god? Of course not!" Fortunately, he isn’t alone. Like every other transmigrator from Earth, he awakens with a golden finger—a system that rewards him for being a complete and utter scumbag. You stole your own father’s concubine? +20,000 Scum Points You annihilated an entire sect for offending one of your people? +100,000 Scum Points You have achieved the impossible and killed a divine being as a mortal? +1,000,000 Scum Points Kai—now known as Huang Shi—is no hero. In fact, he’s a shameless scumbag. And this scumbag will use every dirty trick, ruthless scheme, and underhanded tactic at his disposal to ensure he doesn’t just survive this new world—but dominates it. And maybe… just maybe… he’ll save the universe from its impending doom. Assuming he doesn’t destroy it first.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth

"Fuck, my head hurts, where the hell am I?"

His head felt like it was about to burst as veins popped out of his head. It was clear that he was in agony as memories that weren't his own rampaged through his head, giving him a basic idea of what was going on.

My name is Huang Shi, I'm the 3rd son of the Sect Master of the Azure Dragon Sect, Huang Dao, and I'm known in the sect as the perverse wastrel.

Alright, I do admit that I'm perverted, but since when was I a wastrel??

Just when he thought things couldn't get any weirder, a voice rang through his head. It shook him out of his thoughts.

[Welcome to your new world host, the Scumbag Cultivation System is happy to serve you]

The Scumbag Cultivation System?! What the heck is that?!

Kai tried his hardest to breathe, calm down, and remember what he was doing before this entire mess started.

"If I remember correctly, I was in the middle of fucking some random girl in my bed, when all of a sudden some guy came smashing through the door with a knife in his hand and fucking stabbed me to death.

He remembered that scene very well. One of the girls that was on his rotation—someone he didn't really find that attractive but felt decently well about—actually had a boyfriend. Not only that, he was this massive 6-foot gym rat that looked like a powerlifter; someone who, even without that damn knife, could have ripped him in half.

That fucking bitch. I failed to do my usual background check just once, and it led to me losing my life in such a pathetic way.

Kai had a grim expression on his face as his entire life flashed before his eyes. From the moment he was born, Kai was born special; not only was he from some rich family, he was also born with god-tier genetics.

This led to him being a complete waste and spending most of his time chasing women.

The only thing that was unique about him was the fact that, despite him being such a waste, he still managed to take the time to go to the gym every day and read his favorite webnovels, sometimes day dreaming about being sent to another world and living his life differently.

Fuck, alright, I admit I didn't live a very fruitful life, but it was still my life god damn it! Who does that bastard think he is to fucking kill me!!

He clenched his fist in rage as he punched the bedpost next to him, causing it to shake as he finally had enough time to take in his surroundings for a minute.

'All right, before everything else, let's figure out where the hell I am first.'"

Kai took a moment to actually process his surroundings. He was sprawled across a massive canopy bed, sinking into a mattress so plush it felt like a cloud. The sheets were made of top-tier crimson silk, cool and unnervingly smooth against his skin.

Sunlight filtered through intricate paper screens, illuminating polished sandalwood furniture and gold-leaf accents that shimmered in the corners of the room.

It was clear that whoever owned this bedroom was not just rich; they were 'fuck-you' rich

Damn this guy is rich…wait a minute… If I died and I'm somehow here… doesn't that mean that I reincarnated?!

FUCK!! THIS IS AWESOME

Kai started to breathe heavily before trying to force himself to calm down, remembering the voice that rang through his head at the moment he woke up. He had a sudden thought before tentatively speaking in a soft voice.

"Status"

[Name: Huang Shi]

[Sect: Azure Dragon Sect]

[Status: Son of the Sect Master]

[Cultivation Base: None]

[Talent: Extremely Poor – Crippled Spiritual Veins]

What the fuck?! Extremely poor talent? Crippled Spiritual Veins?! How is that possible?!

I'm clearly the protagonist, why do I have such dogshit luck?!

Kai gritted his teeth in rage; he was feeling indignant.

All right, let's calm down. There's something fishy going on.

He tried to analyze the memories he just recently received, trying to find the reason why he would be crippled like this, and the more he looked, the more strange his expression became until finally he just sat there in a daze, looking like he had lost his soul, as his fists clenched in anger.

How could the previous owner of this body be this stupid?! You actually got tricked by a bitch and ended up getting not only crippled but also killed?!

I know that you're a damn womanizer, but couldn't you have picked a safer target?! Why the hell would you try to assault the granddaughter of the Supreme Elder?!

Not to mention that bitch is dating your elder brother!!

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he got before finally sighing in an exaggerated fashion.

Whatever. No use crying over a dead man's mistakes. If this world followed the rules of the novels he'd read, the System was his ultimate cheat—it had to have a fix.

"Hey, System," Kai whispered, his voice tight. "Is there any way to fix these crippled veins? I can't exactly have fun in this world if I'm crippled"

Kai waited, his heart thudding against his ribs. After a tense silence, the cold, mechanical voice resonated in his skull.

[First Quest Generated: Steal Your First Heroine]

[Description: The Host's foundation is shattered. To remedy this, the System requires the Host to 'claim' the woman of another cultivator. By stealing the wife/girlfriend of a significant figure within the Azure Dragon Sect, the resulting despair will be converted into restorative energy.]

[Note: The higher the status of the victim, the greater the rewards. Success will result in a full restoration of the Host's Spiritual Veins.]

Kai stared at the floating red text, a slow, twisted grin spreading across his face.

"What the fuck?!" he breathed, half-horrified and half-impressed. "You want me to do exactly what got me killed? This really is a scumbag system."
