When Alex woke up, he discovered he had transmigrated into the body of the ultimate villain of a cultivation novel, the Saint Lord of the Hale Family. In the original story, he was nothing more than a tragic tool, existing solely to be exploited by an overpowered male protagonist. No matter how fearsome his cultivation or how supreme his authority, his fate was to endlessly hand over treasures, opportunities, and women, until he was finally discarded and destroyed. Among those women was Isolde. She was personally nurtured by Alex from childhood, raised with the vast resources of the Hale Family. Rare heavenly materials, divine techniques, priceless treasures, she lacked nothing. Cherished as the apple of his eye, she owed Alex and the Hale Family a debt beyond repayment. Yet all of that was overturned by a single bowl of plain porridge. Deceived by shallow warmth, Isolde ignored decades of kindness and willingly severed all ties with the Hale Family in order to join the male protagonist’s harem. That was only the beginning. Later in the novel, she personally assisted the male protagonist in killing Alex and participated in the complete annihilation of the Hale Family's elders, disciples, servants, and even newborn infants, none spared. When Alex first transmigrated, it was precisely at the moment this adulterous couple stood before him in open defiance. Emboldened by years of indulgence, Isolde confidently made her demand, certain that Alex would forgive her as he always had, no matter how grave her betrayal. But this time, the ending changed. Alex spoke calmly, decisively and ruthlessly: “You may leave, but leave behind the Seven Orifices Divine Heart your family bestowed upon you.”

Adam found himself reborn in the Silver Willow Dynasty as a freshly appointed third-ranked scholar. He assumed his path would be straightforward, that he'd climb the ranks without much trouble, but it turned out the Silver Willow Dynasty wasn't your typical ancient feudal society. Out in the East Sea, a warrior had stood watch for two hundred years, and even the strongest beings from outside the continent didn't dare cross into his territory. In the Western Regions, there was a woman who had achieved immortality across ten lifetimes, and her red dress made every man in the world look dull by comparison. Down in the Southern Regions, an unmatched demon king ruled the demon realm, leading a hundred thousand powerful demons who hungered for human flesh. In the Northern Desert, a world-ending demonic cultivator schemed to remake reality itself. When the sixth Heaven and Earth Upheaval struck the world, heavenly realms and unmatched treasures began surfacing one after the other. The entire world had entered another golden age. Ancient freaks, reincarnated powerhouses, sealed ancestors, and forgotten taboos all stepped forward in this era, scrambling for their chance. Luckily for Adam, he'd transmigrated with a system that gave him extraordinary comprehension. So long as he studied the texts with care, his comprehension would activate and let him grasp the techniques described within them. [You have witnessed the life of Sword Saint Arthur, and you have comprehended the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords.] [You have witnessed the life of the Pill Emperor Raiden Veil, and you have comprehended the Pill King's Treasure Mirror.] [You have witnessed the life of Michael, a peerless genius, and you have comprehended the Imperial Ultimate Dao-Proving Scripture.] And so he shut himself away inside the Inkwood Academy, working through the classics through spring, summer, autumn, and winter without pause. It was only after he'd read about the lives of the three Heavenly Emperors that he finally set down the books in his hands and walked out of the Inkwood Academy. By that point, the shifts in heaven and earth had pushed to their absolute limit. Supreme beings clashed savagely over opportunities, tearing heaven and earth apart. Adam stepped out from the Inkwood Academy, and his sword cut down every age. With that, the world found peace, and the upheaval and chaos of the ancient times came to a close.

Soren transmigrated into the body of the Demon Clan's most notorious coward. Deemed too cowardly to be worth keeping, he was disowned by his father, the Great Demon Emperor. The moment word spread, the Cold Moon Empress led an invasion into his lands. The original owner of this body had never so much as killed a chicken, yet somehow he'd been branded an irredeemable villain? Hundreds of thousands of human cultivators gathered at his gates, ready to bring him to "justice." "You wouldn't believe me if I told you I've never killed anyone, would you?" "Fine. Since no one believes it anyway, I'll kill you all." Overnight, hundreds of thousands of human cultivators lay dead, their corpses piled into mountains.
