Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

'Negative Karma?'

Xu Shan's eyes were fixated on the screen before him, a look of intense interest apparent on his face. Though to others, it may have seemed like he was staring blankly at the lifeless body of the woman on the screen.

'What is negative karma?' He asked in his mind.

The previous text vanished from the screen in front of him, and in its place, the screen displayed the response to his inquiry.

[Negative Karma]

[Certain individuals are blessed by Heaven the moment they are born, or throughout their lives. They are akin the children of heaven, destined for great things. The more you kill them, the more of heaven's anger you attract]

'So I'm supposed to stay still and watch these people kill me instead?' Xu Shan rolled his eyes, taking a subtle glance at the sky above.

He knew that the so-called heroes were blessed with great luck. However, even he didn't know that killing them offended the laws of heaven and attracted something like this.

However, he didn't care one bit about it. If the Heavenly Laws were already so unfair that they didn't even want him to fight back against its children, then he was going to kill even more of them! He didn't care one bit about whose anger he attracted.

'What happens when my Negative Karma increases?' he asked again, slightly curious. It wasn't as if the Heavenly Laws could directly kill him. If that was possible, he would've been killed already. Even the Heavenly Laws were bound by the laws of the universe. They couldn't interfere to that extent.

[Results Unknown]

The Book of Truth came up with a blank answer, as if even it wasn't sure.

On the other hand, Xu Shan had some thoughts of his own. He considered the possibility of his luck being reduced by the heavenly laws. Or the other Children of Destiny being attracted to him to kill him because of Negative Karma. However, that also made him think of something else.

'As a villain who goes around killing people of great destiny, do I even have any luck left?' Xu Shan thought, frowning.

So far, he had only seen bad luck as quite a few of his schemes had fallen apart. He kept meeting trouble after trouble. As for everything good that happened, it was because of his own hard work, other than the one time where he coincidentally found Ji Yang in the Esti Kingdom.

In the end, the concept of Negative Karma was quite unknown to him, so he didn't think much. If he wanted to be ready for everything, there was only one way! He had to become strong... Strong enough to the extent that even the Heavenly Laws would've needed to think twice before acting against him.

As for the Negative Karma... He didn't intentionally go around killing Children of Destiny. Instead, he only killed the ones who were his enemies!

It didn't matter how many Children of Destiny he had to kill. Even if he had to wipe out an entire kingdom filled with them, he wouldn't have felt remorse. His life was more precious than anything else.

He had to become stronger and for that, he knew he had to get to the Celestial Lotus and awaken his second Celestial Spirit! Thanks to the Book of Truth, he knew the location of the Celestial Lotus! He had made up his mind to find the Celestial Lotus after dealing with Yu Fei.

He casually waved his hand, making the screen disappear before raising his head, only to find everyone else looking at him.

Amongst the youngsters who had come to participate in the trial, there were many disgusted gazes. As if they felt that it was unfair for Xu Shan to use a high grade treasure in a battle like that. However, those people didn't look at Xu Shan directly, not wanting to catch his attention.

"I didn't expect you to have such a talisman." Yu Ming commented, noticing Xu Shan looking at him.

Even though he wasn't able to see Xu Shan's skills, after this battle, he found him even more incomprehensible. If he was really a Celestial Warrior, then he was really good at hiding it, to the point that he was even willing to waste such a precious talisman.

It was almost impossible for him to read Xu Shan. However, one thing was certain for him. This guy wasn't someone who would save a person like his sister. Whatever happened to his sister was deeply related to him. However, he had no evidence. This was just his gut feeling.

"Since we're done here, shall we go to the Celestial Palace?" Xu Shan asked, stepping forward. "I still have to discuss an alliance with your father."

"Young Prince, it's not that I'm looking down on you but do you really have the authority to discuss such an important matter?" The Great Elder asked, frowning. It was quite suspicious that the Eternal Dynasty sent a young man for such an important alliance.

"I have enough authority." Xu Shan calmly responded, not reacting much. He didn't even give a second glance to the lifeless woman on the ground as he walked down the stage.

In the end, the Celestial Palace also had no reason to reject him. They agreed to allow him to enter the Celestial Palace. In the end, the Great Elder led Xu Shan and Ye Han.

Ye Han had already shrouded Xu Shan in his Celestial Energy to help him fly. The two guests from the Eternal Dynasty closely followed behind the Great Elder and Yu Ming.

The strange mist that was surrounding the Celestial Island moved aside, as if clearing a path for them to enter. Without it, it was impossible for even a Heavenly Celestial to land on the Celestial Island safely.

Xu Shan passed through the mist. Even though the mist had moved aside, he could still feel the strange yet destructive energy emanating from the nearby mist. This mist was definitely dangerous! Fortunately, he was being led inside, which made things a bit easier for him.

"Did you find the whereabouts of the Celestial Lotus?"

In a faraway place, a calm yet cold voice resounded. A woman could be seen sitting on the throne, holding a man in his early thirties by his neck.

While the man's throat was in the woman's hand, his body kept shriveling up, as if all his strength and his blood was being devoured. Moreover, the man's strength was instead becoming the strength of the woman who had a Pitch Black Book lying on her lap.

Unfortunately, that small bit of strength was like throwing a bucket of water in the sea since the woman was already shrouded in the aura of a Heavenly Celestial! If anything, her aura was even stronger than the Eternal Emperor!

After the woman finished consuming the strength of the man who was also a Heavenly Celestial, she tossed his lifeless body aside, shifting his attention to an old man who was sitting on his knees in the distance.

The old man didn't look phased, as if it was a scene that he had seen many times before.

If Xu Shan was here and used the Book of Truth to see through the woman, he would've been taken aback. The woman's negative karma was in the thousands already!

"The Tower of Divination prophesied that the Celestial Lotus will bloom in a Lower World. It should bloom in two months. Unfortunately, that news appears to have been leaked by someone..." The old man stated, slightly sweating as if worried for his life.

"Many powerful clans of the Divine Realm are preparing to descend to that Lower Realm to take the Celestial Lotus."

In the universe, there were many lower worlds. They contained much weaker Celestial Aura and becoming stronger in those worlds was harder than climbing the sky itself.

In fact, it was extremely rare to find a single Sky Celestial in a lower world.

On the other hand, there were two Upper Realms. One was the Celestial Realm where Xu Shan resided. As for the second, it was the Divine Realm... The place where this meeting was taking place!

The woman who appeared to be in her late twenties, revealed a frown. "I don't care who is going. Kill everyone if you have to. I want the Celestial Lotus at any cost! Either bring me that, or I'll take your head instead."

"Burn the entire lower realm down if you have to, but I want that Celestial Lotus!" She further stated. Even though her eyes were calm, the old man felt as if he was drowning in the sea of suffering, almost to the point where he felt like he could die at any second.
