Yu Dian is a world-hopping maintenance worker. Her job is to travel between worlds and patch up their flaws.
She has just taken on a new assignment. The villain of Book World No. 017, Qi Yuzhi, has given up, and she needs to get him back on track as soon as possible so the Son of Heaven's mandate can kill him and complete the final step of his tribulation, becoming an immortal.
At the time, Qi Yuzhi was trapped in the Immortal-Locking Tower. According to the book, he should have suffered there until he turned demonic and slaughtered the entire Heavenly Sword Sect. But he had already been there for a year, and still nothing had happened.
Yu Dian took the form of a tower guard and whispered in his ear every day, trying to stir up his hatred.
But not only did it have no effect, she watched his life grow more and more comfortable. He even started making conversation, asking what she had eaten and asking her to bring him some.
She viciously wiped the crumbs from her mouth and made a different decision.
If there was no villain, why not become the villain herself?
Using Qi Yuzhi's name, she slaughtered the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, summoned the demon clans, and became the Demon Venerable.
In the final scene, she traveled a thousand miles to get herself killed, letting the Son of Heaven's mandate run her through with a sword.
There, the mission was complete. Everyone was happy, except for the slight pain in her body. Everything was perfect.
But why did Qi Yuzhi, who loved to lie flat, fall into the demonic path at that very moment and turn around to blow the Son of Heaven's mandate's head off?
WTF??
Yu Dian's chest throbbed with pain. Her vision blurred, and the System screamed in her mind. She was just about to curse him out before she died when she saw him trembling as he gently gathered her into his arms. His usually indifferent expression was shattered in a way she'd never seen before. His eyes were bloodshot, and tears of blood filled them as he gritted his teeth and said:
"You dare to die?"
Then I'll make every world pay for it.
Qi Yuzhi awakened memories of his past lives when he was young. In every life, he had a tragic fate and endured endless suffering, until he became a demon in a moment of despair and was cut down by someone's sword.
Later, he burned one small world after another to the ground, and finally won back the only light in his long memories.
