After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

Yun Liushui was born into a small family of cultivators in the Zhao Kingdom. As the eldest son of the family, he possessed the four spiritual roots of metal, wood, fire, and earth, resulting in extremely poor cultivation aptitude.

His family spared no expense, paying a large amount of spirit stones, to send him into the inner sect of the Qiongshan Sect.

However, because of his four useless spiritual roots, Yun Liushui was looked down upon in the inner sect. He had been cultivating since he was seven years old, and his cultivation level had only reached the third level of Qi Refining, which completely cemented his reputation as a "waste".

Yun Liushui is currently a time traveler.

Upon realizing that she had transmigrated into the body of a minor character who hadn't even appeared on a single page in the original story, Yun Liushui immediately resolved to change the course of the plot.

In the original story, Yun Liushui suffered a lot of bullying in the inner sect, but dared not fight back. Instead, he vented all his humiliation on the outer sect disciples who were of even lower status.

However, all of this changed completely after Long Yucheng, the protagonist of "The Ancestor of Heavenly Dao", entered the inner sect of Qiongshan Sect.

After being publicly humiliated by Long Yucheng for harassing a female disciple from the outer sect, Yun Liushui, utterly disgraced, lured Long Yucheng outside the sect's formation, attempting to kill him. However, she was ultimately killed in return, becoming Long Yucheng's first cannon fodder on his path to advancement, and did not even survive until the opening of the secret realm.

As the clouds and water flowed through, it happened to be the eve of Qiongshan's founding of his sect and the acceptance of disciples.

The first thing he did after transmigrating was to go to the Mission Hall and take on the task of registering new disciples. Long Yucheng's name was prominently listed in the outer disciple roster.

At this point, Yun Liushui was certain that she had indeed transmigrated into the world of the novel she was reading, and that she was the first cannon fodder character in the entire book to die at the hands of the protagonist.

After carefully recalling the contents of the novel he had read before his transmigration, Yun Liushui quickly made a decision—he would defy fate and walk the path of the protagonist!

The first step on the protagonist's path is to enter the Nine Star Secret Realm and seize the protagonist Long Yucheng's biggest cheat besides the system—the inheritance of the Primordial Thunder Dragon.

In the original story, Long Yucheng, with his Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation, was chosen by Linglong from among many outer disciples to serve as her attendant and was taken into the secret realm.

Yun Liushui was already an inner disciple, so he took the initiative to find Linglong and volunteered himself. Linglong did not refuse him.

In the original story, Long Yucheng's mind was controlled by black energy within the Demon God's Palace, causing him to activate the array's core and release the remnant soul of Huang Xiao. Upon regaining consciousness and returning to the main hall, he only saw the remains of lightning scattered across the floor, from which he obtained the Thunder Dragon's inheritance.

In order to perfectly replicate this step, Yun Liushui used the family's direct-inherited spiritual jade to contact the family and obtained a mind-stabilizing jade pendant containing a wisp of divine thought from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Protected by the jade pendant, he was unaffected by the black energy, but he pretended to go mad, rushed into the passage to release the remnant soul of the Emperor Xiao, and then returned to the hall at the right time to take away the Thunder Dragon's inheritance.

The process of obtaining the inheritance of the Primordial Thunder Dragon was extremely difficult in the original work.

Long Yucheng, who was in the Qi Refining stage, was unable to withstand the Thunder Dragon inheritance. His divine sense was almost destroyed by the enormous power of lightning. In the end, he paid a lot of points to obtain a solution from the system. The solution was to seal the remnant soul of the Thunder Dragon in the spiritual vein embryo, thereby weakening the power of the inheritance.

Long Yucheng successfully obtained the Thunder Dragon inheritance in this way, but because he only had the inheritance and did not fuse with the Thunder Dragon's soul, he was unable to cultivate. It was not until he fully fused with the Thunder Dragon's soul after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage that he was able to fully obtain the power of the inheritance.

So Yun Liushui immediately searched all the boulders near the outer gate of Qiongshan and successfully obtained the spiritual vein embryo before Long Yucheng, easily acquiring the Thunder Dragon inheritance.

This spiritual vein embryo truly lives up to its reputation as a divine object capable of nurturing spiritual veins. The rich spiritual power it contains helped Yun Liushui break through the bottleneck that the original owner had not been able to advance for four years.

With the combined assistance of her family's spiritual herbs and the embryonic spirit vein, Yun Liushui had already successfully advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining before entering the secret realm.

Such a rapid pace of cultivation would surely amaze others if they knew, who would exclaim that he is a genius beyond compare.

However, Yun Liushui knew that this was all thanks to the spiritual vein embryo.

This item was arguably the biggest help to Long Yucheng in the early stages. With the help of the spiritual vein embryo, Long Yucheng was able to reach the third level of Qi Refining in just one month after he started practicing.

Long Yucheng can do it, and so can Yun Liushui, who also has four useless spiritual roots!

Later, he was chased by Linglong in the secret realm and was almost turned into a human puppet, which is exactly the same plot as "The Ancestor of Heavenly Dao", except that the protagonist was changed from Long Yucheng to Yun Liushui.

In the novel, Long Yucheng only managed to resist the Thousand Machine Transformation Technique with the help of the system, and finally escaped the Demon God Palace with the help of the Thunder Dragon's inheritance.

Yun Liushui is now at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and can even bite back at Linglong without the system.

As for how to leave this Demon God Palace, having inherited the Thunder Dragon's legacy, he can control a small part of the Demon God Palace's formation and open a life gate to the outside world at the Gen Gate, where the formation has not yet completely lost its function.

As for Linglong, who is burning with rage and relentlessly pursuing them, he can easily trap and kill her once he reaches the Gen Gate by manipulating the restrictions; she is not a threat.

Following the plan, Yun Liushui swiftly fled towards the location of the Gen Gate, as indicated by the Thunder Dragon's inheritance. However, after just turning a corner, he saw a figure rushing towards him from the other end of the passage.

Upon recognizing the other person, Yun Liushui's eyes instantly turned icy cold.

The person who arrived was none other than the protagonist he hated most—Long Yucheng.

Yun Liushui originally thought that after he obtained the Spirit Vein Embryo and took the initiative to become Linglong's attendant, Long Yucheng would no longer appear in this part of the Nine Star Secret Realm storyline.

If Long Yucheng misses the Nine Star Secret Realm, his system will never be able to be activated—after the secret realm opens this time, the Nine Star Secret Realm will become Huang Xiao's territory, and the Qiongshan Sect will be wiped out in ten years.

Even if Long Yucheng survives the annihilation of his entire family, he will never have another chance to enter the Nine Star Secret Realm.

However, it now seems that changing the plot is not so easy.

Without the spiritual vein embryo, Long Yucheng's cultivation level indeed stagnated at the first level of Qi Refining, but he still found another person to lead him into the secret realm.

The Yu Bai he found was not specifically described in the original work. It seems that he was another tool created by the scriptwriter to correct the timeline and bring Long Yucheng into the secret realm.

This is what they call the protagonist's halo! Yun Liushui's face was ashen.

In his original opinion, without the cheat code of the Primordial Thunder Dragon Inheritance, the protagonist Long Yucheng was no longer a threat.

Unexpectedly, the timeline created another opportunity for Long Yucheng to enter the Nine Star Secret Realm. It seems that even without the inheritance of the Primordial Thunder Dragon, the system is very likely to provide Long Yucheng with a new cheat.

However, since Yun Liushui could snatch the protagonist's opportunities once, he could do it a second and a third time. He wanted to see whether the protagonist's position would belong to Long Yucheng or him, Yun Liushui, after he had taken all the protagonist's opportunities before Long Yucheng!

Or to put it more directly, make sure that Long Yucheng cannot leave this Demon God Palace alive, and completely eliminate any future troubles!

Yun Liushui's mind raced, and a plan quickly took shape.

Long Yucheng saw Yun Liushui and Linglong behind him from afar and immediately turned and ran.

Upon seeing this, Yun Liushui immediately shouted:

"Junior Brother Long, please wait! I was forced by Senior Sister Ling to aid and abet the evildoer. Now that Senior Sister Ling is seriously injured, if we join forces, we might still have a chance to fight!"
