After Transmigrating, I Chose to Become the Villain Backed by an Immortal Clan - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: The Protagonist and the Villain. I Choose to Be the Villain

“Hehe… Hehehe… Is it real? You’re not lying to me, right?”

A strange voice echoed through the classroom.

All the students, along with the teacher lecturing at the front, turned their heads toward the last row with indescribable expressions.

There, a boy was slumped over his desk, fast asleep. A few glistening drops of saliva slowly dripped from the corner of the desk.

Even in his sleep, he kept chuckling to himself. His body trembled uncontrollably along with that odd laughter.

“Hahaha!”

As Li He continued laughing in his sleep, his body shaking, the entire class finally burst into laughter.

“Li He! Stand up right now!”

The teacher could no longer hold back. With a shout, she flung a piece of chalk toward him.

“Huh? What’s going on? I was just about to choose to become the protagonist. So it was all a dream?”

Li He opened his eyes groggily and rubbed his sore arm.

“Damn it! Why didn’t anyone wake me up? That exterminator’s projectile is about to hit my head!”

Seeing the chalk flying straight at him and the teacher glaring as if she wanted to devour him whole, Li He shut his eyes in despair.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. The God-Tier Choice System has been activated!]

A crisp voice exploded inside Li He’s mind.

At that very moment, the piece of chalk speeding toward him froze midair. Everything around him came to a complete standstill.

“Wha… what is this?”

Li He looked around in shock.

“Hehe, Host, don’t panic. I’ve merely paused this world. Just a small trick.”

The clear voice rang out again in his mind.

“What the hell? There’s really a system? Am I not dreaming? Can something from a dream carry into reality? No… I must still be dreaming inside a dream!”

Smack! Smack!

Without hesitation, Li He slapped himself twice across the face.

“Damn! That hurts! Is this dream really this realistic?”

He clutched his face and muttered to himself.

The system fell silent for a moment, then thought to itself, “Why does this host look a bit… not very smart? Should I switch to another one?”

After a long pause, as he stared at the frozen world around him, Li He gradually accepted reality.

“Ahem. Since you say you’re a system, then the choice you gave me in my dream just now… whether to be the protagonist or the villain, does it still count?”

Li He spoke with a deliberately deep tone.

“Of course it counts!”

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully activated the God-Tier Choice System! Since you are currently in a world where cultivation is impossible, you now face your first choice! Choose one: Become the world’s protagonist in the Spirit Immortal Realm… Choose two: Become the Holy Son of the most powerful force in the Spirit Immortal Realm, the stepping stone of the world’s protagonist, also known as the villain…]

“Isn’t that obvious? Of course I’ll choose to be the protagonist. Only an idiot would pick the villain and become the protagonist’s experience fodder!”

Without a second thought, Li He prepared to select the first option.

[Detected that the Host has chosen the Spirit Immortal Realm’s world protagonist option. Please confirm your selection within five seconds.]

The system’s clear voice echoed in his mind.

“Why wait five seconds? I’ll just pick it instantly, alright? Hmm? What are these three dots at the back?”

At the final second of the countdown, Li He didn’t press confirm. Instead, curiosity got the better of him, and he tapped the three dots.

In an instant, a long string of information appeared on the system interface.

Option One: Become the world’s protagonist in the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Background introduction: Naturally, the protagonist comes with a protagonist’s starter gift pack.

Gift one: Young master of the Li Family in the Northern Region.

Gift two: Both parents deceased.

Gift three: Born with an awakened Supreme Bone. Began cultivating at the 1st stage Body Tempering Realm at age three, reached the 1st stage Qi Gathering Realm at age five. At age six, his Supreme Bone was forcibly stripped away by a relative from his own clan, who then fled the Northern Region with it.

Gift four: At birth, he was believed to have a chance of reaching the Ascension Realm. He was betrothed to the Wang Family of the Eastern Region at birth. After four years as a cripple, Wang Xian’er came personally to annul the engagement when he was ten years old.

Gift five: The family is targeted by a mysterious powerhouse who demands you be handed over. The family ruthlessly abandons you.

Character tags: [Do not bully the young because he is poor] [Hidden Dragon in the Abyss] [Child of the World]

Transmigration state: A few days before the annulment at age ten.

“Damn! Isn’t this just a complete trap? Only someone with a broken brain would choose to be the protagonist. This is miserable! Even a dog would shake its head at this!”

Li He hurriedly closed the first option.

“No way, no way. Whoever wants to be the protagonist can go ahead. I’m not touching that mess!”

He immediately opened the second option.

Option Two: Become the Holy Son of the most powerful force in the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Background introduction: Young master of the Li Family, the foremost ancient clan. [Villain]

The Spirit Immortal Realm is divided into the Five Regions, the Three Continents, and the Outer Heavens. The Five Regions consist of the Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central Regions. The Three Continents are the Heavenly Mystic Continent, the Nether Abyss Continent, and the Myriad Beast Continent.

Background one: Born into the Li Family of the Immortal Domain, the strongest force in the Spirit Immortal Realm. Countless experts reside within the Li Family. The highest cultivation realm in the Spirit Immortal Realm is the Ascension Realm, and the ten ancestors of the Li Family are all Ascension Realm experts.

Background two: Both parents are powerhouses of the Tribulation Crossing Realm. His father, Li Wandao, is the current patriarch of the Li Family, hailed as the most talented cultivator in the past 1 million years. From birth, it took him only 300 years to reach the Tribulation Crossing Realm. His mother is the former saintess of the Gu Family in the Immortal Domain.

Background three: Talent determined by the Host.

Tags: [True Dragon Among Men] [Fated Enemy] [Unique Across Eternity] [Unprecedented and Unmatched] [Dominates All Ages]

Transmigration state: One minute before birth.

“Damn!!!!! This background, these tags… they’re blinding my eyes!”

“Only a fool wouldn’t choose the villain. Everything is maxed out from birth.”

“Good thing I’m cautious and checked those three dots first. Otherwise, if I had really chosen the protagonist, I’d be completely dumbfounded!”

After thinking for a moment, Li He decisively made his choice.

He selected option one…

Then calmly clicked on the option below it, option two.

[Detected that the Host has chosen the second option. Initiating transmigration process…]

As the system’s clear voice sounded, a blinding white light appeared before Li He.

When the light faded, Li He’s figure had already vanished from where he stood…
