The Villainous Master Only Wants to Save the World

(Screenshot taken May 24, 2021) He transmigrated into a cultivation novel and became the most tragic scapegoat master in the entire story. His master ignored him, his fellow disciples turned against him, and he was chronically ill with little time left to live. Even his only disciple was just pretending to care for him so he could gouge out his eyes. It was Shen Qingfei's first time transmigrating into a book, and the pressure was immense. Other masters either cleared their names with ease or were loved by everyone. He alone had to wear the halo of a universally hated villain while saving all living beings, then die and be cursed and reviled by the whole world for eternity. It was miserable, but the pay was good. As a debt-ridden wage slave, Shen Qingfei glanced at the little time left on the System's mission timer and decided to endure a little longer for the sake of peace. So he bullied his little disciple mercilessly, verbally sparred with his fellow disciples, and made snide remarks to his master. He did bad things while coughing up blood, doing everything he should and shouldn't have done. When everyone hated him so much they wished he'd drop dead on the spot, Shen Qingfei was satisfied. He was ready to make a peaceful, heroic sacrifice for the greater good. But reality didn't seem to be going the way he expected. Could someone explain why all these people were clinging to his coffin, refusing to let him go and wishing he would die in their place? / Rumors said that Wujing Zhenren of Mirrorlight Peak was a bloodthirsty, hypocritical, and sinister man who used his handsome face and the prestige of the Taixu Sect to commit every shameful deed imaginable. As a cataclysm threatened the world, rumors that Wujing Zhenren had allied himself with foreign races spread like wildfire. Then came the battle outside Wuwei City, with the demon army at the gates. As laments filled the air, the strings of the Shuxue zither snapped and its tail shattered. Someone cut out his own bones, gouged out his eyes, and took his own life beneath the walls of Wuwei City, trading his death for the lives of the entire city. Atop Lingxu Peak, the assembled immortals, Daoists, and Buddhists waited for a farce in which Wujing Zhenren's ugly true face would be exposed as he abandoned the city and fled. Instead, they heard the crash of the eternal lamp in the Soul-Summoning Pavilion, and found half a bloodstained, broken zither inside the red coffin of the Jialan clan. / After Wujing Zhenren's death, everyone in Wuwei City wore mourning clothes for him, and ten thousand people carried his coffin to its resting place. The head of the Taixu Sect, who had not appeared in public for ages, broke his vow against killing over the death of his beloved disciple. He shattered the Heaven-Suppressing Stone at the sect gate with one palm strike, then annihilated thirty thousand demons. Qu Lingsheng, peak master of Lingxi Peak, who had always been at odds with Immortal Wujing, was overcome by grief and anger. He charged into the demon realm alone and slew eighteen demon generals. Ten years later, Mu Shuxue, a disciple of Immortal Wujing, attained the Great Dao. The stars of Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang returned to their positions, and the immortals welcomed the Xuanji Heavenly Emperor. On the day the Xuanji Heavenly Emperor completed his tribulation and took his place, a little monster came to the foot of Mount Taixu to ask for medicine. The little monster carried a Soul-Gathering Lamp, with a grass rope tied around his waist. At the other end of the rope was a blind Daoist wearing a bamboo hat. Shen Qingfei: I'm doomed. I didn't die, and now I'm screwed. Help, I'm waiting online. This is urgent. P.S. The protagonist seems like a saintly father figure, but is really a lazy ham. It's just the author's personal taste. I'm a devoted fan of sacrificial characters. If you like that too, let's enjoy it together. If you don't, please don't force yourself to read it. Theme: Cherish the present. Nothing can ever be done over.
