I Truly Am The Villian

In this ancient and wild world.

Although it's quite dark, being in it makes one feel very small.

But it isn't exactly quiet within.

Animals occasionally pass by the surroundings.

If the middle-aged man hadn't mentioned it beforehand, they might have taken this place as the real world.

"Impressive," Xu Zimei sighed.

"I have an Array Heart, evolving all things in the world."

"Everyone, this is a Killing Array," the middle-aged man's voice came from all around.

The next moment, a murderous aura instantly pervaded this world.

The originally normal animals seemed to morph one by one.

Their sizes were amplified a hundredfold; whether on the land or in the sky, various birds and beasts gathered.

It was like a scene of a thousand beasts charging, attacking the three of them.

"Come on," Sage Zixia let out a light shout.

The surrounding purple haze exploded forth.

But the next moment, he slightly frowned.

"My principles are being suppressed, there is such a formation here."

He clearly felt that the operation of his principles was not as smooth as outside.

"Seriously feel this world, killing these monsters is secondary," Xu Zimei replied.

"Maybe you can also gain some insights from it."

Bright Moon Fairy and the others nodded.

Xu Zimei didn't use Tyrant Shadow, instead, he watched the approaching monster beasts.

He directly grabbed the neck of one monster, lifted it up, and despite its roaring, snapped its neck.

When the monster died, there was no blood or corpse, only a transformation into lines of array principles.

Xu Zimei carefully sensed them.

He then shook his head, muttering, "Though abstruse, it ultimately lacks life."

His Divine Continent was self-contained, actually full of vibrant life, Xu Zimei naturally had the utmost right to speak.

When all the monsters were killed.

The middle-aged man's voice sounded again.

"Next is the Trapping Array."

Soon this ancient forest's trees began to sway.

Each tree seemed to have grown legs and started to block Xu Zimei and the others.

Countless thick branches entangled, forming a cage.

Apart from this cage, countless branches were hidden in the grass, attacking the enemy.

"Why don't you activate all the evolutions of your formation at once," Xu Zimei said.

"Since it's so, please watch carefully," the middle-aged man replied.

The entire formation world began to tremble.

At this moment, a dense spiritual energy constantly burst forth.

In the sky, divine beasts began to resonate.

All kinds of legendary divine beasts continuously emerged.

Golden lotuses appeared from the earth.

The firmament hung the galaxy upside down.

The cycle of day and night ceaselessly shifted, spring, summer, autumn, and winter were clearly defined in their seasons.

This world was more perfect than Xu Zimei had imagined.

Yet in his eyes, these were all still lifeless.

He slightly closed his eyes, feeling the rhythm of this world.

Soon, Xu Zimei opened his eyes.

He snapped his fingers.

In an instant, all illusions in heaven and earth vanished.

At this moment, he seemed to have taken control of the world.

He just stripped away the control from the middle-aged man's hands.

"What is happening?" Even the middle-aged man was stunned, shocked.

This formation world was crafted by his own hands; he was very familiar with it.

But now, he felt a bit of strangeness within it.

Because at this moment, the formation was entirely controlled by Xu Zimei.

He saw Xu Zimei open his hand, the formation opened itself, and the three walked out slowly.

The middle-aged man quickly approached.

"Could this esteemed guest give me some guidance?"

"Could you tell me your name?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Mo Changtian," the middle-aged man replied.

"Should I call you Mo Changtian or the Taoist Array Great Emperor?" Xu Zimei laughed.

"But now that you are already a Saint, I suppose Great Emperor doesn't quite fit."

The Taoist Array Great Emperor, who knows how many people still remember this name today.

In the Yuan Central Continent, within the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect of the Eastern Continent, there was a Mo Family.

Their ancestor was the Taoist Array Great Emperor.

In those days, the Taoist Array Great Emperor left behind a Six Elements Indestructible Array.

It was said that this formation could only be broken from the outside; those trapped inside could not break through.

Xu Zimei, having now glimpsed a broader world, naturally thought that formation had too many shortcomings.

He had once engraved that formation with the Heaven Expanse Astrolabe.

"You come from the Yuan Central Continent," the middle-aged man realized immediately.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Every generation has its talents."

Xu Zimei smiled, meeting a fellow from his homeland here was indeed a kind of serendipity.

He knew that since coming to the Nine Domains, he actually knew very little about the Great Emperors of the Yuan Central Continent.

Emerging from among millions to become a Great Emperor.

They surely progressed towards even greater heights.

They must have gone to the highest few realms within the Nine Domains.

Xu Zimei also knew in his heart that the further he ascended, the more familiar faces he would meet.

"Might the Taoist brother teach me? How did you take control of my formation just now?" the Taoist Array Great Emperor asked.

"Your formation is quite ingenious, I can't deny that.

But if you want to use a formation to evolve a world, leaving aside other matters for now.

There's one thing you simply can't achieve," Xu Zimei said.

"What?" the Taoist Array Great Emperor asked.

"Your world operates by your will.

In other words, it's a dead world.

Many things have patterns to follow."

Xu Zimei said, "The real world should be unpredictable.

Without regularity, the future is blurry.

Every living being has its own path.

The concept of the three thousand Great Dao is exactly this.

Yet your world, though seemingly alive, lacks vitality.

Everything runs according to your will.

And by understanding your will, I can control this world."

Xu Zimei rarely interfered with the development of the Divine Continent.

It was precisely this fear.

Every entity in the world has its own mind.

Once thoughts are confined, the world degenerates into a dead world.

Xu Zimei's words were like a profound enlightenment.

"Friend, do you have a solution?" the Taoist Array Great Emperor quickly asked.

"If you ask me, you're just too greedy," Xu Zimei shook his head.

"A world of illusions from a formation, it's impossible.

No matter which path you take, it's unattainable."

Having been through it, he knew the difficulties within.

It's not something that can be completed just by lacking something.

"Indeed, over the years, I've started to feel that.

Perhaps I've taken a wrong turn," the Taoist Array Great Emperor laughed.

"But after ten thousand years, I've become accustomed to it.

Changing it is quite difficult."

"Isn't your own happiness the most important?" Xu Zimei laughed.

"There's something I want to ask you, we need to go to the Heavenly Fire Family, do you know the way?"

"There's no specific path to the Heavenly Fire Family," the Taoist Array Great Emperor said.

"You just need to follow the direction of the sun, and you'll get there."
