I’m the Big Villain, but I’m Really Not the Dark Emperor

[Villain + Sneaky Schemer + Feel-Good + Cunning + Lighthearted] Wang Feng transmigrates into the body of a down-and-out young man, starting out so broke he can barely scrape by. In this world, people cultivate source energy. There are twelve realms, from Spirit Absorption to the Emperor Realm. One step can take you to the heavens, and one can reduce you to ashes. He’s barely opened his eyes when people are already hunting him down, all because he stole the chosen one’s manual. He bluffs his way out, then fakes his death to escape. The righteous crowd wants him dead, and the Saintess is after him. He keeps shouting, “I’m the reincarnation of the Dark Great Emperor,” while secretly trembling with fear. By chance, he obtains a golden finger, and the System forces him to play the villain. The more recklessly he courts death, the stronger he becomes. Taking a beating reduces his pain, playing dead levels him up, and running his mouth draws hatred. His rewards all come from “keeping his head down.” Others rely on hard training; he relies on his acting skills. Others compete in talent; he competes in nonstop chatter. He snatches opportunities, steals sacred scriptures, and lures away Saintesses, all with nothing but a silver tongue and a bag of outrageous tricks. The righteous crowd hates him to the bone, the chosen one sees him as a walking plague, and the Saintess keeps chasing him down, never realizing he’s been using the sacred scripture as a cushion. The System schemes against him, and Heaven keeps an eye on him, yet he manages to grow stronger in the cracks between them. Everyone thinks he’s stealing the chosen one’s opportunities. Little do they know he’s taking the Dark Great Emperor’s fortune. In the end, the name of the Dark Great Emperor resounds throughout the world. This time, it’s real.
