Do You Want Me To Be The Villain Like That?? Open Your Eyes And See

Chapter 70: Preparations

Jiang Yun stood in the vast hall of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, contemplating something for a moment before asking in a cold and composed voice.

"System, how many points do I currently have?"

The system quickly responded:

[After gathering everything, from those fortunate souls, Sons of Fortune, and Daughters of Fortune, you currently have approximately 20 quadrillion points, Host.]

"Open your black market. I want to see what I can use right now," Jiang Yun ordered confidently.

The system promptly complied.

[As you wish, Host.]

[Category: Black Market]

[supreme Immortal Spirit Veins - 100,000 veins. Special discount: 90% off, now 1 trillion points]

[Immortal Emperor Pills - 10 pills. 80% off, now 2 trillion points]

[Emperor-Level Techniques - 1,000 volumes. 90% off, now 1 trillion points]

[Weapon Upgrade Card (Any weapon to Immortal Emperor level) - 90% off, now 1 trillion points]

"Buy them all," Jiang Yun ordered calmly.

[Understood, Host.] The system responded quietly.

Suddenly, the screen flashed and disappeared, and the rare items and powers he had exchanged for were instantly transferred to his personal inventory.

Jiang Yun remained seated amidst the faint light before issuing another command in a flat tone.

"And use the remaining points to elevate my cultivation to the highest level possible."

As soon as the order was given, the system responded immediately. However, this time, something seemed different. The system's tone sounded strange, as if something had changed. The system spoke with a hint of panic.

[W-Who are you! You've hijacked my Host, haven't you? I see through you! My Host is stingy to the core, so release him at once! Or else, don't say I didn't warn you!!! (? •_•)?]

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling as he spoke in a calm voice.

"I've changed my mind..."

The system quickly replied, its tone now rushed.

[After conducting over 1,000,000 verification processes, I can confirm that you are indeed my Host. Let's forget about the past... Congratulations on advancing to the highest level of Grand Immortal. I've even given you a discount—only 11 quadrillion points in total.]

As the system finished speaking, its blue screen interface split into 16 sections, and it quickly added:

[Nooooooo, violence isn't the final solution, Host... We can always talk things out (ó﹏ò?)]

Jiang Yun replied, "For others, it might not be the final solution, but for you, it's not just an option—it's mandatory. You've made me look violent. My image is completely ruined now."

The system muttered in a low voice [Weren't you already violent, and did you even have an image to ruin? Even if you did, did you ever care about it?]

Jiang Yun asked, "What did you just say?"

The system [ (O_O) !]

Suddenly, the system's grey matter worked at lightning speed, running countless processes to calculate the best possible response to give Jiang Yun, and it quickly replied:

[Nothing... Host... I'm currently elevating your cultivation.]

Jiang Yun smiled and handed something to the system.

The system grew an arm and opened it [Wow, Host, you've got so much free time... You even drew so many different snails.]

Jiang Yun smiled, "Are you finished with your choice? After the cultivation upgrade is done, I'll draw..."

Before Jiang Yun could finish speaking, a golden light suddenly filled the room. Immense energy surged into Jiang Yun's body, and his cultivation soared rapidly. His spirit expanded outward.

Low-level Secret Immortal...High-level Secret Immortal...Mid-level Immortal King...Low-level Saint Immortal...Low-level Grand Immortal...High-level Grand Immortal

The overwhelming power made Jiang Yun smile faintly. His eyes showed deep satisfaction, and now he had 21 samsara clones. He issued a firm command.

"System."

"System, come out. I was just joking."

A voice from the void responded [Your mouth says it's a joke, but your hand is holding a brush and nine colors of paint.]

"Come out, System. I need to purchase all the cultivation resources and ingredients for absorption pills."

The system responded promptly, though it still hesitated to appear.

[Understood, Host. That will be 5 quadrillion points. But considering your massive spending, I'll give you a discount—only 3 quadrillion points—to encourage you to use points again... no, no... to thank you for your hard work.]

Jiang Yun set down the brush and said, "You did well this time..."

[Always at your service, Host (?'?′?) ]

Jiang Yun let the system be and began to explore his own inner self. Now he had 4,194,304 stars within him, each serving as a power source. He could feel the circulation of spiritual veins within his body. Each star began to generate new spirit veins after he had absorbed the small luminous figure he had tormented earlier, using it as fuel for his small worlds.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly as he upgraded the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect to the highest level of Immortal Emperor weapons and commanded the system to conceal these processes.

Then, Jiang Yun began studying another 1,000 volumes of Emperor-level techniques, though most of them weren't particularly useful to him.

After some time, Jiang Yun asked, "How is the harvest?"

A samsara clone emerged from the void and responded.

"At present, we have enough souls to activate the 10 million times time formation for one year, Master."

Jiang Yun nodded in acknowledgment. "Summon everyone. We will proceed with the next phase."

The samsara clone replied, "Understood, Master."

As he waited, Jiang Yun gazed out at the area before him, calculating the size and scope of the power formation he was about to create. He extended his consciousness to carefully examine every detail of the area before proceeding to create 10 million clones of himself. Each clone was enhanced with divine power, instantly transforming their bodies into divine vessels.

Before long, a total of 20 million people gathered at the field, all eyes fixed on Jiang Yun with respect and determination, and they all spoke in unison:

"Greetings to the Sect Master!"

Jiang Yun waved his hand, signaling them to relax, and then spoke loudly:

"One year from now, we will cultivate our power to prepare for the battle against this world. I will create a 10-million-times time formation, so seize this opportunity and increase your strength as much as possible."

His voice echoed across the field, and everyone there knelt down and shouted in unison, filled with resolve, "We will not disappoint you, Sect Master!"

Jiang Yun smiled faintly before tossing 12 absorption pills to everyone present. These pills were rare and valuable, designed to dramatically accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy. He then gathered 100,000 Immortal Spirit Veins at the site. The spiritual energy radiating from them was so dense that it could be felt even from a great distance.

Once the preparations were complete, Jiang Yun sat down cross-legged on the ground, and everyone else followed suit silently, awaiting the next command.

Jiang Yun closed his eyes and took a slow, deep breath before speaking in a steady voice, "Alright, let's begin."

Suddenly, the heartbeat of millions of lives quieted, and the spiritual energy throughout the field began to circulate slowly, forming a massive wheel. Everyone started cultivating earnestly, with a single goal in mind: to follow Jiang Yun's orders without any room for weakness or hesitation. They did not want to be left behind.

As Jiang Yun cultivated, he sent a message to his samsara clones. "Proceed with the plan we discussed earlier."

The samsara clones responded, "Understood, Master," and immediately vanished into the void, splitting into pairs to head to the 10 Immortal Continents. One clone flew directly to the Lin Immortal Emperor Clan.

In the Frost Immortal Continent, within a luxurious teahouse, Lin Jia was sipping tea with his niece, Lin Qingyi. She was frustrated by her recent defeat in the Tianyuan Tournament and felt deeply confused. She felt an inexplicable familiarity with the person named Mu Shuyuan, yet she couldn't recall anything about them. Turning to her uncle, she asked with curiosity,

"Uncle, why did you bring me here?"

Lin Jia smiled slightly. "To wait for someone... Ah, they've arrived."

Suddenly, the void split open, and a rift in the dimension appeared. A man dressed in black walked out silently. Lin Qingyi was so shocked that she froze, her face reflecting confusion and surprise. Lin Jia was also surprised, sensing the power of the black-clad man who had just appeared. He asked with a curious tone, "Why didn't you bring your true form?"

The samsara clone smiled slightly before responding simply, "No need."

Lin Jia chuckled and waved his hand to create a special dimension around them. "What a pity. Did you bring what I asked for?"

The samsara clone said nothing more and tossed ten books to Lin Jia and Lin Qingyi. "You may open them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Lin Qingyi looked at the man in black with a strange sense of familiarity, but before she could think any further, Lin Jia tossed one of the books to her. She caught it and immediately began to read. As soon as she started, her entire focus was drawn into the book's contents, and a cold aura began to emanate from her body, causing Lin Jia to smile.

Lin Jia, after inspecting the ten books, spoke up, "I'll buy all ten of these."

Suddenly, ten bottles appeared in front of the samsara clone. The man in black carefully inspected the bottles, and after confirming everything was in order, he smiled with satisfaction and bid farewell, speaking softly, "The transaction is complete. Farewell."

Lin Jia elegantly raised his teacup, watching the samsara clone as he prepared to leave.

"I hope to see you again in two years at the Eternal Immortal Continent. And don't forget to bring some good drinks."

The samsara clone smirked and vanished into the void, leaving Lin Jia and Lin Qingyi to continue pondering their own thoughts.
