A Guide to the Villain's Fake Death and Redemption

After the death of the heinously evil villain Pei Su, he entered the System's space.

Because of his heavy burden of sins, he had to travel into other small worlds to protect their children of destiny, serve as a stepping stone and give them everything, then atone for his sins with his life.

Pei Su sneered. He had always hated being controlled by others.

The world called him selfish and vicious, yet expected him to selflessly give everything, even his life, for someone else?

He wouldn't be going too far if he got revenge a hundred million times over.

[The meticulous, self-serving, bloodthirsty comic-book villain]

As the only 3S-ranked ability user and the cold, authoritarian ruler of the Presidential Palace, Pei Su walked over the corpses of the comic's protagonist's entire family. Fire and bloodlight illuminated the smile on his bloodstained lips.

"You hate me?" He looked at the child of destiny's face, twisted with fury. "Too bad. The hatred of ants is worthless."

Three years later, the child of destiny pierced his heart with a devastating ability, and Pei Su only smiled.

"That's a nice expression." The handsome man, drenched in blood, smiled as he always did. "At last, the future of this dull world can be entrusted to you."

"Fate restored."

Later, people learned that Pei Su was the mysterious and powerful prophet of legend, the one who had single-handedly upheld the only light in the world's darkest, most desolate hour.

He had long been ready to sacrifice himself to save this era.

Pei Su, having completed his mission and retired: Ten years of struggle, and I helped him finish the fight in three. How's that for efficient protection?

The System looked at the child of destiny, whose expression had gone vacant. ...Perfect!

[The rebel Alpha general who betrayed the Federation and sided with the invaders]

Amid a storm of abuse, the cold, elegant general turned without hesitation and walked toward the hideous Zerg invaders.

Yet a month later, he led an army in an attack on the Zerg royal court from behind.

Only after victory did the Federation's people understand that the general's "surrender" had been a humiliating but necessary infiltration.

At his funeral, people saw the mottled marks of abuse and torture on his body, and the entire Federation fell into mournful silence.

Pei Su raised an eyebrow. I wiped out the invaders myself. That kind of protection is straightforward and efficient, right?

The System looked at the child of destiny, who was overwhelmed with emotion. ...Why does this feel a little strange?

[The sword sovereign who envies his disciple's talent]

By day, Pei Su mercilessly beat the child of destiny before he could grow powerful. By night, he concealed his identity, cared for him attentively, and encouraged him to kill his master and strike out on his own.

After the child of destiny's golden core shattered, Pei Su unhesitatingly dug out the Dao bone he'd painstakingly cultivated to heal him.

But the first thing the child of destiny did when he awoke was point his sword at Pei Su's throat.

Pei Su gazed impassively at the child of destiny's eyes, which resembled those of an old friend. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, yet he smiled.

"Now I owe you nothing."

Pei Su chuckled. I gave him more than a century of cultivation in one go. What do you think, is that top-tier protection or what?

The System stared at the child of destiny's grief-stricken profile. ...? So this is what it means to be mindfucked.

[The sinister, arrogant, treacherous chief minister]

Pei Su went even further in humiliating the child of destiny, who was still a prince living in the Cold Palace. Watching hatred and murderous intent well up in the boy's eyes, he smiled faintly, then casually arranged for someone else to bring the poor little thing some warmth.

When the child of destiny, having survived countless near-death ordeals, finally secured the throne, his first act was to purge Pei Su's faction and imprison and torture him.

Only then did he discover that this seemingly cold, wicked young man had been protecting him in his own way all along, enduring humiliation and accepting the condemnation of countless people.

Pei Su smiled. The original plot only said he would ascend the throne, but I also helped him secure his position. That's what you call thinking outside the box, right?

The System studied the child of destiny's dazed expression and decided to give up.

Tips:

1. The male lead is a scumbag, a genuinely villainous character with deeply warped values. Please don't apply the novel's morals to real life; just enjoy the spectacle. Readers who love morally upright heroes, please steer clear.

2. This is probably a slow transmigration story.

3. The main theme is: it looks like the male lead is being abused, but in fact everyone except him is being driven mad by the abuse. Fans of fake deaths can read without hesitation.

4. The fake angst has already been served. The author's thing is seeing the protagonist battered and wounded.

5. To be continued.

Theme: Human will can overcome fate.
