I Cultivated for Ten Thousand Years, So Why Am I Not the Protagonist?

Ten thousand years ago, a peerless genius named Su Ye appeared in the Su Clan, a family of immortals.

He began cultivating at five, was already keeping pace with the older generation by ten, and became invincible under heaven at twenty.

Yet he could never find the opportunity to attain the Dao, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the world and cultivate in seclusion.

Ten thousand years later, Su Ye sensed the Great Dao manifesting.

At the same time, the Strongest Puppet System activated.

The System said he wasn't the protagonist, but the ultimate villain, destined to be trampled underfoot and turned into a stepping stone.

Su Ye couldn't accept that. He immediately decided to become the hidden mastermind behind every protagonist, planting the seeds of puppetry. If they wanted to kill him, he'd make them turn on one another.
