I Reloaded Ten Times and Found Out My Senior Brother Was the Villain

There are three thousand paths to the Great Dao. Ask not about one's immortal fate, but about the will of Heaven.

Su Ling doesn't believe in fate. She thinks a destined death can be avoided, and that even a so-called archenemy can be befriended in advance.

Her senior brother opens his heart to her, too.

But the return of her memories and two seals from her past life drag her out of her self-deceiving fantasies and into a deadly world of danger.

For the next ten years, through spring and autumn:

You and I will have nothing to do with each other's grudges.

Zhongzhou needs to support a pure and helpless Child of Destiny. The four lower realms yearn for the favor of immortals, while the five upper realms await the arrival of the legendary saints.

All it takes is one opportunity for the spark of greed to consume every realm and burn away all the world's talented people.

Su Ling is the opportunity they have been waiting for.

Just as they expected, she appears out of nowhere, wins people's hearts by exposing cheating in Zhongzhou's academic examinations, and protects human souls by comprehending the Art of Heavenly Cycles and cutting off the passage used by the dead. She fulfills the destiny that is hers alone.

The rulers rejoice.

So when Su Ling enters the five upper realms, an ambushing cultivator kills her with a single move.

Thus a genius falls, the four lower realms raise incense burners to worship the wondrous immortals as they ascend to the Dao, and the flames of war never cease.

That was how it should have been.

But the extinction of the human race gives rise to countless cultivators who press forward in their wake. The Scroll of the Celestial Demons begins anew, bringing her back for her tenth rebirth.

Now that the great dream is over, Su Ling looks at her suddenly distant senior brother and knows the wheels of fate are about to crush them once again.

It can't be changed.

Zhang, a young lord of Zhou, was born into the foremost of the five upper realms, with boundless honor and privilege. But his mother's entire clan was wiped out, and his memories sealed, forcing him to flee to the lower realms.

Yan Liang has spent nearly ten years pursuing the truth as his body gradually declines, only to discover how laughable it all is.

Expressionless, he takes the summons from his subordinate, suppresses his rage, and accepts the order with a smile.

Let him see what a ridiculous sight those so-called immortals make when they're knocked from the clouds.

Honor. The path to immortality.

Yan Liang wants none of it anymore.

He wants to give his junior sister, who is trapped just like him, true freedom.

For this, Yan Liang is willing to burn from within and bear a tarnished name.

But on that day,

when sunlight and cloud shadows linger over Zhou, and the son is about to die at the hands of his royal father

Someone asks a question with a sword.

This sword is called Enemy of All Magic.

A cool and calculating senior brother with a hidden dark side x a lively and resilient junior sister
