Am I the Villain's Stepping Stone? Steal Fated Fortune and Hunt the Protagonist

The first sacrifice for the Son of Destiny? Li Xiaoyao laughed!

After staying up all night and dying suddenly, Li Xiaoyao found himself inside the fantasy novel he'd just finished reading. The good news: he had become the young sect master of a top-tier sect, with an incredible background!

The bad news: he was the first cannon fodder stepping stone on the protagonist's road to greatness! His sect would be destroyed, his father would die in battle, and he himself would be beheaded, meeting a gruesome end!

A death sentence right from the start? Ding! The Snatch-and-Sign-in System activated!

Knowing the original story was the greatest golden finger of all! A cold glint flashed in Li Xiaoyao's eyes. "The protagonist, the Son of Destiny?! Your opportunities, your adventures, and your future beauties... I'll take every last one!"

At Biyou Palace, one sign-in let him snatch the protagonist's future strongest cultivation technique, the Chaos Heaven and Earth Record, along with a supreme divine sword and peerless talent! Protagonist? I'll cut off your path!

At the imperial feast, he overwhelmed all rivals with his sword, then deliberately approached the most terrifying woman in the entire book: the future Immortal-Slaying Empress, who would rule everything with an iron fist and make the continent tremble. "Want to team up? Let's take down that Son-of-Destiny cheat!"

While the Son of Fortune, the protagonist, was still struggling to survive, Li Xiaoyao had already forged a heart-demon oath with the future world-destroying Empress and laid a vast, inescapable net! Villains? No, we're protagonist hunters!

In this life, Li Xiaoyao would not be cannon fodder. He would be the one moving the pieces! He would seize fortune, defy heaven and change his fate, and join forces with the villainous Empress to shatter the Son of Destiny's path to invincibility! Across the continent, I alone roam free!
