I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

When arriving under the sprawling Golden Sacred Tree, the Immortal Realm was already evening. The golden glow cast by the Proud Sun illuminated the multitude of leaves, as if setting them ablaze, mesmerizingly brilliant.

On the branches stood Fleurette's Meteor Tower, along with three vintage mansions of identical size, which served as the dwellings of the Pain Ladies.

Floey glanced at it before coming to the empty White Throne.

She looked up at the empty seat, lifted her skirt, and curtsied.

"Master Jack, Floey misses you very much..."

Speaking, Floey looked despondent.

She quietly confessed in a low voice:

"In the present world, the century war has not stopped. The Tresor Empire is already divided, with only the Sun Church still serving the Royal Family. Under the leadership of Queen Anna Tresor, although the Empire's territory has shrunk, unity remains..."

Floey slowly ascended the white steps, with the mysterious giant wolf trailing behind.

"The Moon Church no longer exists, Master Jack. The corruption of the Blazing Father is becoming increasingly severe, and the church's high-ranking officials have all turned into monsters, becoming sacrifices for the Sun God... Grandma Margaret revealed the truth to me; it turns out everything was an illusion... She's been very busy lately, saying she must personally kill those 'night monsters' one by one."

She continued to climb.

"One can see that Grandma Margaret is very distressed, but I don't know how to comfort her... In the present world, there is no longer nighttime, only morning, noon, and evening, repeating like this, with the sky always holding the Sun, gradually being consumed by darkness, not knowing when it will collapse."

Finally, Floey reached under the White Throne. She slowly kneeled, straightened her back, placed her hands on her knees, and gazed at the empty seat.

"The Constellation Sect returned to the city of Shuoli, and the Madman School also returned to the Byron Kingdom... The Generous Council hides in darkness, recklessly provoking wars. Except for the Naturalist Sect, still concealed in the great forest, remaining indifferent to worldly affairs, the Hailing Group and the History and Ritual Association have all vanished without a trace... However, an organization called 'Worldly Secret Cult' has emerged recently, gathering many homeless believers."

Floey gently leaned against the Throne, as if feeling the warmth left behind, and closed her eyes.

"Floey has many more things to say to you, but..."

The surroundings were completely silent.

For a long time.

Floey straightened her body again, turned her head to look at the sky of the Immortal Realm.

The Proud Sun set, it was already nightfall.

"We had promised to meet on the Moon, but there is no Moon in this world..."

Floey took out Misery World, laboriously writing something on it.

"So I must personally create a Moon."

In the night sky, a bright but very incomplete Moon hung.

This was the Moon Floey had slowly been constructing in the Immortal Realm for half a year, although it was unknown when it could be fully completed, she had never given up.

Night wind howled, stirring the green grass of the Heavenly Fields.

Floey's faint voice sounded:

"This is the real Moon, the one you talked about, the Moon of our homeland, it belongs to us... Floey will wait for you to return on it."

Chen Lun's consciousness was very fuzzy.

Vaguely, he sensed a crescent moon appear in his vision, like something a child half-crafted and then abandoned.

'What is that...'

In his dazed perception, he understood that external time had already passed for more than half a year, but his own perception of time became increasingly sluggish, as if only a blink of an eye.

He couldn't help but lament, no wonder time is nothing to higher beings, because they are eternal existences, these human-added attributes are entirely meaningless.

'The ritual proceeded smoothly...'

Chen Lun roughly sensed the feedback, and the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange sensation.

As if something was guiding him forward.

In this obscure, dreamlike world, Chen Lun floated forward through the swirling grey fog...

He did not know how long had passed.

He saw a figure, sitting with his back to him at the world's end, gazing at the vast universe.

"Sit."

A thin figure without turning, spoke with an old yet comforting voice.

Chen Lun had a guess but didn't speak, silently sitting down beside that figure.

"Well done, child, really well done..."

The old voice said.

"Have you ever thought about what comes after becoming Eternal?"

Chen Lun thought for a moment and nodded.

"Inherit your final wish and formally begin the hunt for the Seven Gods."

However, the frail figure shook its head.

Chen Lun was quite puzzled.

The old voice was silent for a moment, then said:

"That was not my final wish."

"You..."

Chen Lun was extremely surprised.

The other sighed.

"Oscar never knew the full truth, the Seven Gods are merely the largest bacteria under the old power, even killing them would only be a temporary solution; only by eliminating the source can everything truly be saved."

"You mean, we must repel the ancient threats peering from beyond the world?"

Chen Lun said in a low voice.

"Existences beyond the Sequence, they are both attracted by this world and the No Return Land, only by relying on it to become beyond Sequence can you truly deter and expel them... Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be unable to prevent the destruction of your loved ones, the world, or even yourself."

The old voice said.

"The gift I left you, the last Four Seasons Bookmark is especially crucial. When you collect them all, you will have dominion over the No Return Land; only then will you have the qualification to become a God and transcend above Sequence... The clue lies in the Outer Continent, go."

"The Outer Continent..."

Chen Lun was taken aback.

At this moment, the thin figure turned around to look at him.

In an instant, it showed the appearance of his father, Chen Feng, unfamiliar yet familiar, with a calm expression and a slight smile.

"Aaron, always remember to stay true to your original heart... you are my greatest hope, what I couldn't achieve back then, only you can."

Chen Lun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for the moment.

When he came back to his senses, his father Chen Feng, or the Ring Duke, had already disappeared.

Several days later.

Present world.

Far East Coast.

On the empty sea surface, a red music box suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It floated on the sea, its lid opened by itself, playing tinkling music.

The sound seemed like a kind of guidance. After a while, a giant sea creature swam over, lightly touching the music box, then left with little interest.

But the sea creature didn't notice that a bit of scintillating crystalline substance had accidentally stuck to its fin.

A few weeks passed.

The sea creature unknowingly swam past Mist Island, heading overseas, and when it reached an invisible barrier, the authority from the No Return Land took effect, letting it pass through unhindered.

Heading toward the vast unknown ahead...
