I Transmigrated As A Three-Year-Old Villain With A Redemption System?! - Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: Primordial Dao Bone:
Agonizing pain tore through Su Yun’s chest, icy cold pierced his bones. His entire body felt weak and limp as he sank deeper into the water around him, suffocating.
“Someone help! Save the young master!”
“Quick, inform the Marquis Residence! The young master fell into the Youlan Pool!”
“The eldest young master is also unconscious! What were you people doing?!”
The sound of chaotic footsteps and urgent cries echoed all around. Soon after, several ropes were thrown over Su Yun and pulled him out of the water.
But even as he lay flat on the ground, no one dared approach him to offer aid. The moment the wet plants around him touched the water on his body, they began to twist and contort into terrifying, grotesque shapes.
“The water in the Youlan Pool contains chaotic poison. The young master is only three years old… falling in there, the outcome is likely fatal…”
Hearing the murmurs around him, Su Yun’s heart skipped a beat. “I… transmigrated?”
Young master, Marquis Residence, Youlan Pool.
Wasn’t this the cliché fantasy novel he’d read before?
He had even commented back then—why did the villain have the exact same name as him?
Sitting quietly in his room, destiny descended from the heavens. He’d been sent into another world by a truck, and just now he had unlocked the mystery of the womb and regained the memories of his previous life.
Su Yun winced internally, “Everyone else transmigrates into the protagonist. Why did I become the villain?”
“This villain… really is pitiful.”
Three years ago, on a rainy night, the villain and the protagonist were born in the same village. Amidst the chaos of war, the two families mistakenly switched babies. Su Yun was brought into the Zhenyuan Marquis Residence and became the precious little young master of the Su family, adored by all.
Three years later, the protagonist was found and confirmed as the true bloodline of the Su family. In order to reclaim all that was rightfully his, he pressured Su Yun relentlessly, framed him at every turn, took everything from him, and cast him into a living hell. Even Su Yun’s family abandoned him out of disappointment.
As a result, Su Yun fell into darkness and became a fearsome demon lord. But every time he fought the protagonist, the latter always escaped and gained even greater fortune.
Even though Su Yun ultimately became the supreme villain and brought destruction to countless realms, before the protagonist—blessed by destiny—he was still defeated in the final battle, becoming a tragic stepping stone to the divine throne.
“What a tired and dog-blooded plot,” Su Yun muttered to himself. The fake and real young master trope had long been overused.
But now that it was actually happening to him, he found it hard to stay composed.
“Besides…” Su Yun winced from the pain, “Isn’t this too early?”
The plot was supposed to begin when the villain turned eighteen. But this scene where he fell into the Youlan Pool… he was only three years old!
This part was only background in the novel. The protagonist had lured Su Yun into the wilderness, carved out his Heavenly Bone, and pushed him into the Youlan Pool.
The Youlan Pool was a top-level danger zone filled with terrifying chaotic poison. Ordinary people would suffer complete meridian collapse and die explosively from just a drop. Anyone below the Five Realms would lose their cultivation forever upon contact.
Su Yun had his chest opened, his bone taken, fell into the water gravely wounded, and swallowed a good amount too. The fact that he was still breathing when pulled out was already a miracle.
“This is going to be hard…” Su Yun lay on the ground, weakly pondering.
“I’ve been poisoned by the chaos toxin, can’t cultivate, and this matches the original background perfectly.”
“Am I really destined to fall into darkness, relying on demonic cultivation methods?”
“Then be exposed by the protagonist, shunned by family, and die a lonely, miserable death…”
“And I’m only three years old. How am I supposed to change fate?”
[Ding!]
Just as Su Yun was wracking his brain, a voice sounded in his ear.
[After slaughtering billions of lives and reducing countless realms to ashes, you finally refined the Supreme Demonic Body and became the ultimate villain.]
[In order to raise the Child of Destiny, Heaven’s Path Organization will stop at nothing to hunt you down.]
[To aid the Host in surviving, the Villain Redemption System has been activated.]
[Please make amends for your past evil deeds, gather fortune, and evade pursuit by Heaven’s Path.]
Su Yun: “???”
Wait a second—System, are you arriving too early or too late?
Shouldn’t this system awaken right before the final battle with the protagonist?
He was only three years old and hadn’t even committed a single crime yet. What was there to redeem?
Su Yun looked at his little arms and legs and asked in a soft, childish voice, “System, did you come to the wrong timeline?”
[Time is absolutely correct. It is currently the 3024th year of the Great Qian calendar. Host is 1003 years old, True God Realm, virgin, possesses the Devour Heaven Demonic Art…]
“Stop, stop, stop.” Su Yun felt a headache coming. Regardless of his doubts, he had no choice but to accept it.
“The system really did come early.”
“Redemption system? But I haven’t even started doing evil. What is there to redeem?”
[Ding!]
Just as he was thinking, another system prompt echoed in his mind.
[After learning of your descent into darkness, Empress Yaoyue was grief-stricken.]
[Watching helplessly as you slaughtered all beings and destroyed the world, she fell into despair and perished.]
[Redemption Step One: Save the one closest to you.]
[Reverse fate, resurrect Empress Yaoyue from the River of Time, convince her, and be accepted again.]
[Mission Difficulty: Infinitely High]
[Mission Reward: Primordial Dao Bone.]
Whoosh!
A stream of light streaked across the sky. A figure stepped through the air and descended.
She was like a peony blooming at dawn—unparalleled in beauty. Her skin delicate as the first snow, carrying the soft glow unique to young women.
Yet having borne a child, her every move radiated gentle maternal warmth.
She looked like a figure from a masterwork painting. This was Madam Xi Yaoyue of the Zhenyuan Marquis Residence—Su Yun’s foster mother.
“What happened?!” Xi Yaoyue landed in a hurry. When she saw Su Yun’s deathly pale face, her expression turned panicked.
A maid quickly explained, “Madam, for some unknown reason, the two young masters went to the Youlan Pool. Now the eldest is unconscious, and the young master was gravely injured and fell in. I’m afraid…”
Everyone around looked heavy-hearted. The little young master wouldn’t last long.
Seeing her son in such a wretched state, Xi Yaoyue’s heart ached.
She took a deep breath. Although panic still lingered on her face, her gaze turned resolute.
Xi Yaoyue stepped forward, and golden-red energy waves burst from her body. A torrent of spiritual energy gushed forth, condensing into liquid around her like a crashing waterfall.
She began burning her essence blood, pouring her powerful energy into Su Yun’s body.
The maid cried out in shock, “Madam, you’re burning your essence blood!”
Seeing her about to touch Su Yun, she exclaimed even louder, “Don’t touch him! The water of the Youlan Pool contains chaotic poison. Anyone below the Five Realms will never be able to cultivate again after contact!”
“Even your Five Realms cultivation will likely stagnate forever!”
A flash of sorrow passed through Xi Yaoyue’s eyes—not for herself. She gritted her teeth, “He is my son.”
The maids and attendants fell silent.
They could feel her deep maternal love, but couldn’t help thinking:
The real young master has already returned. Is it still worth sacrificing so much for this fake one?
Splash!
Without the slightest hesitation, Xi Yaoyue wiped off the water from Su Yun’s body with her bare hands and forcefully poured her spiritual energy into him.
Cough!
Su Yun violently coughed, spitting out water from his lungs. The moment the Youlan Pool water hit the ground, the chaotic poison caused the earth to crack and shatter.
Xi Yaoyue’s face turned pale, her body weak.
But when she saw her son awaken, her joy was overwhelming. “Yun’er, how do you feel?”
Su Yun weakly opened his eyes and saw the peerless beauty before him. His heart wavered.
“The system just said I must reverse time and be accepted again by Empress Yaoyue…”
“Only then can I obtain the Primordial Dao Bone?”
“But… I haven’t even been abandoned yet. How am I supposed to be accepted again?”
Looking at that flawless face, memories from the past three years flashed through his mind—her careful care and gentle love.
Su Yun hesitated, then softly called out, “Mother…”
Xi Yaoyue was overjoyed.
The exhaustion from burning her essence blood no longer mattered. She hugged Su Yun tightly, not caring about the Youlan Pool’s poison.
Her eyes were filled with tearful joy, as if reclaiming something lost. “As long as you’re safe, Yun’er, everything’s okay!”
“Mother will always be here. Live well. We’ll always be a family!”
[Ding!]
[Mission Completed!]
