Bound to an Emotional Pollution System, I Drove the Villains Mad

In the distant otherworldly continent of Cangyan, spiritual energy was in chaos, and people were restless. In this world, emotions were the source of power: joy, anger, sorrow, and fear could all become tangible energy, affecting one's speed of cultivation and strength in battle. Great sects stood everywhere. The powerful could turn clouds with a flip of their hands, while the weak became victims of emotional pollution.

Mu Wanchou came from the remote border town of Hanxu. Orphaned at a young age, abandoned by his clan, he endured bullying and scorn. He was resilient, yet often held his tongue, hiding an unspeakable anger and resentment deep within. A chance encounter awakened his mysterious "Emotional Pollution System," a powerful ability that could read, control, and even twist other people's emotions.

The System came from a fragment of will left behind when a god of emotions fell in ancient times. For thousands of years, no one had been able to master its true power. After Mu Wanchou became its Host, he could not only disrupt his enemies' minds in battle, but also hasten their collapse by stoking their negative emotions, and even turn other people's emotions into cultivation.

As he grew stronger, more and more people lost control of their emotions and descended into madness, threatening the order of the entire Cangyan Realm. An ancient power called the Temple of Heavenly Punishment quietly emerged. Its shadowy ruler, the supposedly invincible villain Xuan Wuji, sensed that Mu Wanchou's existence was shaking the carefully arranged order of his world, and swore to eliminate him.
