When the Overpowered Hero Becomes a Cannon Fodder

After the peerless genius Luo Qingyun failed his tribulation, he was reborn as a cannon-fodder character in a storybook.

The cannon fodder was born into one of the four ancient clans. He had an exceptionally beautiful face and was the clan leader's only child.

But as cannon fodder, he had no talent for cultivation at all. Even as the clan leader's son, he was still bullied, and after his coming-of-age ceremony at sixteen, he was even abandoned in a remote place to fend for himself. He was a complete joke.

At his sixteenth coming-of-age ceremony, the good-for-nothing Luo Qingyun astonished everyone, breaking through countless obstacles and becoming the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the ancient clan. Overnight, he became the clan's most talked-about genius.

But all Luo Qingyun wanted was to find the protagonist of the storybook, Shang Wuxia.

Though Shang Wuxia was the storybook's protagonist, he was also its most pitiable character.

Born of low station, he was an illegitimate son with a muddled bloodline. No one had ever loved him. Later, just when he finally found a friend, that friend betrayed him to his enemies, and he endured ten years of torment and agony.

Yet time and again, he rose back to his feet, struggling between life and death until he became a peerless powerhouse.

When the continent finally collapsed, he even took its suffering upon himself. As its master, he bore the burden of the entire continent at every moment, feeling its pain with every passing second.

In Luo Qingyun's eyes, Shang Wuxia was the best person in the world. Luo Qingyun had been born into privilege, with loving parents, the strongest master, and friends who understood him everywhere. Ever since he got his hands on the storybook as a child, he had read it countless times, always wishing he could rescue Shang Wuxia from his sorrowful world!

Thirty thousand years after becoming the continent's master, Shang Wuxia returned to the very beginning of the story, once again a penniless illegitimate son.

His father refused to see him, his mother abandoned him and went far away, and everyone bullied and humiliated him.

The Shang Wuxia of the past had been helpless, but now he had the power to avenge himself. Just before he could act

A white-clad youth descended from the sky, sword in hand.

He stood in front of Shang Wuxia, clearing away every danger and obstacle for him.

In Shang Wuxia's lonely, lightless world, he lit a brilliant lamp.

·

Luo Qingyun swore to protect Shang Wuxia at all costs and give him a beautiful future.

For that, Luo Qingyun steadily rose to become a major power in the world, an invincible support for Shang Wuxia.

Later, when the demon race invaded, he stood in front of Shang Wuxia again, ready to fight the Demon King.

But he never expected the Demon King to tremble and kneel before Shang Wuxia.

"...Greetings, Master."

Luo Qingyun, who still thought Shang Wuxia was a little white rabbit, wondered if he had misheard. He froze for a moment. "What master?"

Shang Wuxia smiled. "The master of the continent."

The entire continent belongs to me.

And all I want is to stand behind you.
