"Junior Brother Xiao, Junior Brother Xiao..."
When Xiao Yuhan woke up from his coma, he suddenly found himself in a dilapidated temple. Several young men and women with an air of otherworldly grace stood in front of him. They were dressed as Taoist immortals, and for a moment he thought he was dreaming.
"Junior Brother Xiao, are you feeling better?"
"What junior brother? Are you filming a period drama?" Xiao Yuhan asked, rubbing his eyes.
A white-haired Taoist nun frowned and looked at Xiao Yuhan, "Xiao Yuhan, did you lose your mind after the fall?"
"Xiao Yuhan?" Xiao Yuhan was taken aback, thinking to herself, isn't that the name of the hypocritical master in the novel "Eternal Empress" that she stayed up all night reading?
Could it be that I've traveled through time?
*Beep!* At this moment, a voice sounded from within Xiao Yuhan's body, "Welcome to the eighty-ninth experiencer of the Eternal Empress World. The character you have drawn is the villainous hypocrite Xiao Yuhan. In this world, you will begin from the childhood of Empress Bai Yao."
"What! Why did I become that scumbag master? Are you trying to kill me? And what does the eighty-ninth mean? Have many other people transmigrated before?" Xiao Yuhan remembered that in the novel, her ending was that her eyes were gouged out, her tongue was cut off, and she was thrown into a pigsty to be raised. A chill ran down her spine.
"If a transmigrator dies in this world, they will die forever. The previous eighty-eight have already passed. With your arrival, the world of the Eternal Empress continues! Your task is to follow the plot until the female protagonist, Bai Yao, successfully becomes the Empress."
"Screw you, I'm not playing this! I don't want to be the villain! Let me be the protagonist!" Xiao Yuhan cursed inwardly.
"Your vital signs in the real world have disappeared. If you die in this world, it will mean real death. Characters are randomly selected and cannot be changed. If you do not want to continue, the system will activate the divine punishment program to end Xiao Yuhan's life."
"Damn it! You think you can scare me by saying you'll die if you don't play?!"
"The system will execute the divine punishment procedure. Countdown: 10, 9, 8..."
"No, no, no! I'll play!" Xiao Yuhan immediately gave in, then asked, "Your system is so clueless. Look at other transmigration systems, they all give you cheat codes. You keep trying to kill me, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
"The system cannot understand your meaning."
"What I mean is, you're telling me to follow the plot, but if I really follow the plot, I still won't survive. You have to give me a way to live, right?"
"You can change the ending without violating the main storyline. The system will calculate points based on your actions that align with the villain's. These points can be exchanged for power and items. You start with 1,000 points."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan suddenly had a whimsical idea and asked, "Could I kill off the male and female leads and become the protagonist myself?"
"This world revolves around Bai Yao. The female protagonist has a protagonist's halo and cannot die."
"Damn it... what a fucking bastard!" Xiao Yuhan cursed softly.
"The plot has begun. The first chapter is the Yongning Village massacre. You are the mastermind. You will be rewarded with 10,000 points upon completion of the mission."
"This initial chapter rewards so many points?" Xiao Yuhan asked in surprise.
"In the original story, the first chapter's conflict is that Xiao Yuhan plans to massacre Yongning Village, becoming Bai Yao's father and mother's killer. This will be the key conflict for the Empress's revenge in the future. So if you complete the story according to the plot, you will get a lot of points. But if you change the plot, you will lose points according to the degree of change! Please remember that if your points go to zero, you will slowly weaken and die."
Upon hearing that points would be deducted and that he would die after all points were deducted, Xiao Yuhan immediately protested: "Damn it! This is so inhumane!"
The system ignored him, leaving Xiao Yuhan feeling helpless. He thought he could only take it one step at a time.
In the original story, at this stage, Xiao Yuhan took a liking to Bai Yao, who was the reincarnation of a demon god. So, on the night of her birth, he gathered his fellow disciples and massacred Yongning Village in the name of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path. Afterward, he took the still-infant Bai Yao back to the mountain and took her as his disciple, waiting for her to become a furnace to enhance his cultivation in the future.
The first chapter is about a blood feud, and Xiao Yuhan really couldn't imagine being tortured like a pig or a dog by Bai Yao in the future, so he immediately started to plan how to break the deadlock.
The four people in front of him were Xiao Yuhan's fellow disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect. The five of them were known to the world as the Five Sword Immortals of Ling Su.
In the original story, after Xiao Yuhan discovered Bai Yao, the reincarnation of a demon god, he conspired with his confidants to frame the village as a remnant of the demonic cult. He then put demonic cult pills into the well water, causing the villagers to lose their minds and become demons.
Furthermore, because the place was indeed filled with evil energy due to the reincarnation of a demon god, the other fellow disciples were tricked into participating in a massacre of innocent people.
Moreover, at the crucial moment, it was Xiao Yuhan who personally killed Bai Yao's biological parents. Just thinking about this made Xiao Han's forehead break out in a cold sweat.
According to the system, if he doesn't follow the plot, it means the end. But if he does follow the plot, he will become Bai Yao's enemy who killed his parents, and then he will have no way to survive no matter what.
"Junior Brother Xiao? Why are you sweating? Haven't you been getting enough rest lately?"
The speaker was Ye Qingyun, the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal, the leader of the Five Sword Immortals of Lingsu. His dark skin and casual attire were indeed similar to the description in the original work.
Xiao Yuhan stood up and waved his hand, "Senior Brother Qingyun, I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
"Junior brother, if you're not feeling well, you should go back to the sect first. Leave the rest to us."
“No need to rest… but what’s next, Senior Brother? Eh! Are we in Yongning Village now?” Xiao Yuhan asked softly.
