Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

"Good, bring in the next group!" the strong man in black armor ordered, signaling for more people to move forward.

In an organized way, two thousand people were split into ten groups and sent through the passage one after another.

After each group entered, they checked for any losses to make sure there weren’t any traps waiting on the other side.

Mo Hao was placed in the second-to-last group.

Even though he was called a waste because he relied on pills to get stronger, Mo Hao had still reached the Transcendence realm, making him somewhat useful.

...

Near the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect on the Immortal Martial Continent, Jiang Chen stayed hidden in the sky, watching the portal and the groups of cultivators that had just come through.

With a single thought, he activated his Villain Eye, scanning each person carefully. Information panels popped up one by one.

To his surprise, many of them were labeled as supporting characters.

Supporting characters are here? Jiang Chen thought. Looks like I’ve been pulled into a new protagonist’s plotline!

I wonder what kind of protagonist this one will be. With a curious look, he kept watching as more and more people arrived. Sooner or later, the new Son of Heavenly Fate would show up.

At the same time, Zhu Zhihai, the Dao Palace realm cultivator under Jiang Chen’s command, stepped forward. His face showed both shock and suspicion.

"Who are you!?" he demanded. "How dare you trespass on the Immortal Martial Continent? Are you demon spies!?"

Jiang Chen watched from above, nodding slightly. Not bad acting, he thought, keeping his eyes on the scene.

Then, a voice rose from the crowd. "Is this really the Immortal Martial Continent?"

"Are these natives of the Immortal Martial Continent?" another asked, looking at Zhu Zhihai and his group.

"It’s a relief to see the demon race hasn’t taken over completely!"

The cultivators from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star looked at Zhu Zhihai with relief, their worries starting to ease. Their biggest fear had been running into a demon ambush the moment they arrived—a situation where no one would be able to save them.

Meanwhile, more and more cultivators from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star kept stepping through the portal.

Mo Hao’s group had finally arrived on the Immortal Martial Continent!

So this is the Immortal Martial Continent? Mo Hao glanced around. I can still sense traces of demonic energy. The demons really have invaded.

But there are native cultivators here, which means the demons haven’t completely taken over the Immortal Martial Continent like we thought.

That’s good news! He smirked. With natives, demons, and people who look down on me everywhere, I have plenty of chances to show off and prove myself. This will push me to grow stronger faster!

Just as he was feeling pleased, a strange sensation ran through him—like someone had just looked his way. His body tensed, and the hairs on his neck stood on end. Then, just as quickly, the feeling was gone.

What was that!? Is some powerful expert secretly watching me!?

Who could it be? A top cultivator from the Immortal Martial Continent? But are there even Transcendence realm powerhouses here?

Or maybe the demon race? But if that were true, why wouldn’t they just destroy the portal?

Could it be someone from the two thousand people around me? Someone holding a grudge?

That’s possible. I’ve offended plenty of people—it’s only natural that someone would want revenge.

Whoever it is, they feel dangerous. They must be a Transcendence realm cultivator.

He clenched his fists. Hmph, I don’t know who you are yet, but just wait until I get stronger—I’ll make you pay!

Mo Hao’s instincts, sharpened by his Protagonist Status, were on high alert. Jiang Chen’s Villain Eye had locked onto him, and he could tell something was off.

But no matter how much he looked around and thought it over, he couldn’t sense or figure out Jiang Chen’s presence.

In the end, he decided that it must be one of the Transcendence realm cultivators who had come with him to the Immortal Martial Continent.

Even though Mo Hao had a higher Heavenly Fate Value than Gu Ran, he didn’t have the same sharp sense of danger that came with the Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline.

On top of that, his personality made him less cautious than Gu Ran.

With so many enemies and the constant chance of someone watching him with bad intentions, it was hard for him to tell if this was just another person holding a grudge.

Because of this, Mo Hao didn’t realize that Jiang Chen had already locked onto him.

At the same time, a panel showing Mo Hao’s information appeared before Jiang Chen’s eyes.

[Name: Mo Hao

Realm: Early-stage Transcendence

Status: Protagonist

Heavenly Fate Value: 62,682/62,682]

So he’s only at the Early-stage Transcendence realm, but his Heavenly Fate Value is over 60,000? Jiang Chen thought.

What kind of powerful secret does he have to make his fate value so high?

I need to keep an eye on him and gather more information from the supporting characters. I can’t rush this. With that decision, he continued watching.

Meanwhile, as another group of cultivators arrived after Mo Hao’s, the spatial channel slowly began to close. Eventually, it disappeared completely.

Jiang Chen’s followers stared at the two thousand cultivators from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, their faces filled with a mix of awe and unease.

"These people… they’re Transcendence realm cultivators, right?" someone whispered in disbelief.

"And there are five of them!"

"More than fifty are in the Dao Palace realm!"

"Who are they to be this powerful?"

"They should be on our side… they’re human like us, after all."

"But we can’t be sure. Looks can be deceiving!"

"What does Lord Jiang Chen think?"

Zhu Zhihai and the others couldn’t deny the fear creeping into their hearts.

If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Chen was there to back them up, they might have already started panicking.

Just then, Jiang Chen’s calm voice echoed in their minds. "Stay calm."

"These cultivators come from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star."

"Even though they are from another place, they are our allies against the demon race."

"Of course, if they dare to step out of line, I’ll make sure they regret it."

Right now, Jiang Chen’s regular strength was already close to the Middle-stage Transcendence realm.

Thanks to a special sound transmission technique he had learned from Shangguan Ning, his message reached Zhu Zhihai and the others without the Transcendence realm cultivators noticing.

As he spoke, Jiang Chen kept his eyes on Mo Hao, watching his every move. Seeing no reaction from him, Jiang Chen assumed that Mo Hao hadn’t detected the transmission.

Meanwhile, the two thousand cultivators from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star were starting to get used to their new surroundings. Their initial tension eased, and they shifted their focus to Zhu Zhihai and his group, who now seemed less intimidating.

"You there! Who exactly are you, and why have you come to our Immortal Martial Continent?" Zhu Zhihai, following Jiang Chen’s orders, took a deep breath and spoke firmly. "And stop calling us natives—talk like normal people!"

"Sorry about that!" One of the newcomers stepped forward, his tone lighthearted. "We come from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star. Your Immortal Martial Continent is considered part of our warzone."

"The demon race has invaded, so we’re here to help," another cultivator from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star added.

"What’s the current situation with the demon race? How much land have they taken?"

"How many Transcendence realm experts do they have? And what about your side?"

More and more cultivators from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star started speaking up, each asking their own questions. It quickly became clear that they lacked discipline, with everyone talking over one another.
