Yuan Feng is a 25-year-old young man and the heir to a semiconductor company in Taiwan.
His life had always gone smoothly, with a wide international network connecting him to many important figures across the world. However, that stability slowly began to crumble as global chaos spread, with wars breaking out in the Middle East and disrupting the balance of the world.
Watching the situation continue to worsen, Yuan Feng made a decision that was risky and irreversible.
He chose to break free from the influence of the Eagle Union and return to the Dragon Empire, pursuing a long-forgotten ambition — the reunification of the entire Dragon Empire.
Because he understood something most people did not—
the world was moving toward a new order.
And when the Dragon Empire was finally reunited…
the dragon would rise.
and it would soar into the sky.
But that plan was discovered.
Before he could go any further, the Eagle Union moved faster than he expected. In a short amount of time, the entire network he had built collapsed one by one — assets frozen, connections cut off, and escape routes sealed without a single opening.
He was not given the chance to defend himself, let alone explain his true intentions.
In the end, Yuan Feng was quietly erased, as if his existence had never meant anything in the face of such overwhelming power.
And along with him, the ambition that had nearly touched history was buried in silence.
When he thought everything had ended, his fading consciousness was suddenly wrapped in an uncomfortable sensation — as if something was pulling him back from nothingness.
He opened his eyes.
His first instinct was to prepare for hell. He never considered himself a good person. Too many cold decisions, too much indirect blood on his hands, too many dirty things done for power.
But what he saw was not flames, nor eternal darkness.
Instead, he woke up somewhere completely different.
Yuan Feng slowly looked around and realized he was inside a large room made entirely of wood, decorated with intricate dragon carvings.
Beside him, a wide-open window let the wind flow in, causing the red silk curtains to sway gently.
Outside, a vast mountain range stretched into the distance, covered in a thin mist. Waterfalls flowed from massive floating rocks in the sky, as if defying gravity itself.
"Beautiful..."
Yuan Feng was stunned, captivated by the view that looked like a world of immortals.
Around that time, a sharp headache struck him. The pain came from countless unfamiliar memories flooding into his mind without mercy.
Yuan Feng was shocked as he was forced to witness those memories. Not just seeing them... it felt as if he had lived them himself.
In just one minute, he experienced 17 years of someone else's life.
'Looks like I've been transported to another world... but what the hell is this?!' Yuan Feng cursed inwardly.
It was only natural for him to feel uneasy.
The body he had taken over belonged to the third young master of the Yuan family, one of the great families in the Tianhuang Empire. His name was also Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng was a handsome young man with a charming face. His golden hair and eyes were a unique trait inherited from his bloodline. This was due to his constitution being aligned with the Gold element.
His sharp jawline and straight nose enhanced his appearance, making him stand out in any crowd. A natural charisma surrounded him, though his confidence was mixed with arrogance that often led him to look down on others.
Although he could be considered talented, Yuan Feng was unable to meet the high expectations of his family. This caused him to vent his frustration on others, using them as an outlet for the humiliation he constantly received from his peers.
One day, his parents exiled him to a remote region under the Yuan family's control to learn governance and handle local affairs as punishment, hoping he would gain real experience.
However, Yuan Feng abused his authority, leaving everything to his subordinates while spending his days indulging himself in pleasure.
The officials there did not care about his behavior. Instead, they flattered him even more in hopes of gaining his favor.
Until one day, a major problem occurred.
One of his lackeys brought him a stunning girl.
He played with her so roughly—hitting her hard, pulling her hair back until she choked and struggled to breathe—while shouting the word "Get pregnant" all day long.
The next day, a young man who looked about 17 years old arrived at his residence, wearing tattered clothes stained with blood. At first, Yuan Feng thought he was just a lost butcher, but he did not expect that the next "pig" to be slaughtered would be himself.
Without warning, the young man shouted, asking where his sister was, and charged forward. When one of Yuan Feng's subordinates at the Golden Core stage was about to kill him, Yuan Feng stopped him and ordered him to capture the boy instead.
Yuan Feng thought it might be exciting to sleep with the girl right in front of her brother. After all, the young man showed no signs of cultivation, so there was supposedly nothing to worry about.
However, his subordinate was too complacent and took the young man's attack head-on, getting sliced in half and get killed.
It didn't end there—his subordinate at the Foundation Establishment stage immediately stepped in to protect him, but they met the same fate. Sliced to pieces like minced meat on a cutting board.
However, Yuan Feng, with his monkey-like brain, experienced a neural activation in his brain and quickly decided to use a teleportation talisman to escape.
When he returned to his clan, his already terrible reputation completely collapsed, falling to the very bottom. Seeing this, his mother used the family's connections to send him to the famous Cloud Sky Sect, hoping to distance him from ridicule and force him to learn something.
And today, just one day before the entrance exam of the Cloud Sky Sect—
something unexpected happened.
Another soul entered Yuan Feng's body. The original soul tried to resist, but its will to live was far weaker than the incoming one. In an instant, it was completely devoured.
"What kind of ridiculous situation is this? Even I wouldn't want to live if I had to face the protagonist for something I didn't even do."
Yuan Feng understood what this meant. He was already dead. Maybe death was even the better option, considering what kind of torture awaited him at the hands of the protagonist.
He was nothing more than a loot bag waiting to be emptied. The same fate would fall upon his family and clan.
Just as he was thinking of a painless way to end his life, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his head.

Suddenly, a transparent panel appeared in front of him.

Yuan Feng let out a sigh of relief when he saw the status panel.
In this world, there are 9 cultivation realms.
Qi Refinement
Dao Foundation
Golden Core
Nascent Soul
Soul Manifestation
Law Dominion
Heaven Suppression
Eternal Sovereign
Ascension
There are only a few Law Dominion experts within the Tianhuang Empire, and his father is one of them. It is unclear whether stronger cultivators exist in the shadows, but Yuan Feng finds it strange if the strongest are displayed openly rather than hidden.
"You must be a system. Explain your function to me," Yuan Feng muttered.
[Master, I can help you learn various skills using Fate Points, as well as enhance and evolve your abilities and talents]
"Then how do I obtain Fate Points?"
[Master, every individual in this world is born with fate assigned by heaven. This fate can increase or decrease depending on their actions]
[To obtain fate, master must drain it from targets by interfering with or preventing them from fulfilling their destiny. Additionally, because master possesses the Demonic Overlord fate, master can commit various acts of evil to gain Fate Points]
[However, remember this. If you lose to someone with higher Fate Points than you, your Fate Points will be completely absorbed by them]
'Wait... is that why my Fate Points are 0? Thank god this system isn't forcing me to stupidly please the protagonist'
"By the way, what exactly is the Demonic Overlord fate?"
[Demonic Overlord is a unique fate where its owner has a natural tendency toward evil. At the same time, it will attract Heavenly Chosen who will try to kill you]
Hearing that, Yuan Feng frowned. "What if I don't commit evil?"
[Even if you don't, Heavenly Chosen will still feel uncomfortable around you. There are also side effects such as a 10% cultivation speed reduction if your Virtuous points reach 50, which can increase up to 50%]
[On the other hand, your cultivation speed will increase, and you will not lose Fate Points if your Demonic points reach 90]
"So conflict is inevitable, huh..." Yuan Feng tapped his fingers.
'Right now, I already have one protagonist targeting my neck. This isn't a good situation to change my identity. Instead, I need to increase my cultivation without attracting more protagonists'
"System, open the beginner package"
[
Beginner package opened. You obtained
Reset Card
]
"A reset card? What is this?" Yuan Feng asked in confusion.
[With the Reset Card, you can reset all your cultivation and abilities, converting them into Fate Points. These points can then be used to enhance your abilities]
"Trash..." Yuan Feng muttered.
Reset all my abilities except Golden Mane Slash and Shadow Step, then upgrade my spiritual root.
[Reset successful +100 Fate Points]
[Spiritual Root Upgrade FAILED]
[Insufficient Points]
Yuan Feng frowned in annoyance.
"Forget it. Open the shop and find me something worth 100 points"
[Master, this system does not have a shop. My function is only to help realize your potential, nothing more]
A terrifying killing intent erupted from Yuan Feng's body. He was about to smash the wall beside him when suddenly—
"WHO THE HELL DOES THAT YOUNG MASTER THINK HE IS?! CALL HIM HERE AND LET'S SEE IF HE STILL DARES TO IGNORE ME!"
