Killing Xianxia Protagonists With An AI System In Another World!

'So I didn't teleport to the Terror Infinity movie world...' After a little regret, Shu Yidan checked the new prompt only to find a 'Loading…' displaying.

Finally, a robotic AI voice resounded [Congratulations, host. Villainous Plot Halo Splitting System is activated! Cleave through the plot armor, split the plot halo and behead the hero!]

Seeing the new system that appeared before his eyes, Shu Yidan realized that his cheat had appeared.

'So I was a villain all along, huh…?' Thinking this, he stared at the profile that was before him.

[Profile: Shu Yidan]

[Cultivation Realm: Golden Core – peak]

[Negative Status: -Unlock the System to Check-]

[Protagonist to Behead: Not Set]

[Profile: The Sect Master's True Disciple, Shu Yidan lives a blessed life with powerful backing. He happily wastes it all away as an addict. How long will this last?]

[SSS Rate: 2/1/1]

Checking SSS rate, it was an acronym for Scum/Scheme/ Scam. As an addict, his highest rating was Scum… which wasn't too high due to only being an addict unknown to the world. Scheming and Scam skills were nonexistent.

Seeing that the skills he gained from the 250 years of life he spent in the earlier timeline didn't carry over to the profile, Shu Yidan was a little surprised but quickly shifted attention.

Checking his profile again, he checked Negative Status. Clicking and calling it out didn't bring anything. But Shu Yidan wasn't worried – even the Immortal Sect Founder couldn't make heads or tails of what crippled him.

After the system was 'unlocked', perhaps he could come to know of this mysterious ailment. Shu Yidan once again look at the profile.

Looking at the 'Protagonist to Behead' section, Shu Yidan's face turned pensive.

A protagonist was the leading character of the work. If the world of cultivation Shu Yidan had transmigrated to was a book, then the focus of it was the protagonist.

A protagonist was loved by the World. Fate was by his side, enemies would fall into pitfalls and allies would flock to him. Most importantly, it was outright impossible to kill him under the grace of the World.

An image appeared in his mind as Shu Yidan thought. The hated enemy who Shu Yidan sacrificed his life to kill. An ordinary person who could be disregarded in the start and yet had become his nightmare in the end.

"Yang Yi…!!" Shu Yidan gritted his teeth. "That guy was certainly the protagonist in the past timeline. Bastard, he killed the Eighth Generation Sect Master and tried to exterminate the sect so many times…"

…But due to his past life as a guy who read xianxia, Shu Yidan quickly identified Yang Yi as the protagonist. Even though Yang Yi's desire to kill Shu Yidan was set, yet with some little schemes Shu Yidan always came ahead. Like this, Yang Yi was even more offended, and his murderous desire was fixed on Shu Yidan's Heavenly Wind Sect.

Like this, the Heavenly Wind Sect was almost exterminated and only in this circumstance could Shu Yidan ascend to become the Sect Master.

Facing an existence who could had almost destroyed his sect, Shu Yidan exposed Yang Yi's murderous might to the world. A powerful yet sole existence who could oppose a sect with thousands of years of foundation was a aberration in the eyes of the world's sects. Shu Yidan gathered all the Sects who would ally together in a alliance to oppose Yang Yi. Shu Yidan had turned the entire world against Yang Yi, even so the love the World had for him wasn't suppressed.

The battle should have been lopsided, the entire world against one man. Even so, Yang Yi survived. No rather, he thrived in such danger. Always finding hidden ruins and legacies, his strength rapidly rose. Even if the world was hunting him down, he was like a wolf in the dark forest, the king of hunters. With his family safe, he could freely stand against the world.

So in the end, Shu Yidan could only attack Yang Yi's single weakness. After divining the secret Minor Realm where his family was hidden, the decision was made to ruthlessly attack Yang Yi's Dao Companions and family. To stop further complications, Shu Yidan blew up the entire Minor Realm and sent all life in that world to extinction.

With everything he loved being destroyed, Yang Yi's Dao Heart made a breakthrough and he revealed himself to attack Shu Yidan. After a battle too long to describe, Shu Yidan somehow killed him before dying himself.

'If the grace of the World was the 'Plot Halo', wasn't his System designed to destroy it? Like this, opposing even a Protagonist wasn't impossible!' Thinking this, Shu Yidan's heart started beating with renewed vigor.

Saying Yang Yi's name didn't cause the SYSTEM to react and the profile didn't show any changes. Even so, Shu Yidan was convinced Yang Yi was the reason he timetravelled and got this system. Maybe the someone felt annoyance at that cockroach and gave him this system to kill him and others of his breed?

Thinking this gave Shu Yidan some satisfaction.

After his profile was checked it was time for the name of the game! Quests! Missions!

Rank A – Defeat Sect Master's personal disciple, Xiaoyi.

Rank B – Gain the Sect Master's acknowledgement

Rank C – Reconcile with your Dao Companion, Feng Shiyao.

Rank D – Rebel against your fate. [Complete]

With a cursory glance at them, he spammed [Accept]. A notification appeared.

Due to your admirable proactiveness, you have unlocked the title: [Proactive Initiator]!

[Gain added attack strength, speed and crit on initiating the first attack. Multiplier bonus on sneak attacks!]

Checking his Profile, [Title: Proactive Initiator] had appeared above [Status].

Looking at that status, he smiled. Since he was titled Proactive Initiator, it surely meant that he should make a move now!

Without paying further attention to the system, he immediately began planning.

Defeating Xiaoyi would bring him easy rep with the Sect Master. Mission B was basically a reward-booster for Mission A. However, Mission A was too terrifying. Defeating Xiaoyi would be impossible without using magic instruments and talismans, and using them meant admitting inferiority in cultivation. If he dared use them, accusations of 'nursing killing intent towards his fellow apprentice sister' would occur as well.

Xiaoyi was a sword cultivator with the bloodline of a Sword Immortal. Basically that meant that she had protagonist-surpassing powers in regards to battling above cultivation ranks. If not for being a girl, she might have been the Hero he was opposing.

But Shu Yidan wasn't too worried about her. Xiaoyi was still a musclebrained idiot. Despite being crippled, he still defeated her in the battle for the Sect Master's position in the past timeline. He could take her, no problems.

The bigger problem was Feng Shiyao, his Dao Companion. She had an amazing bloodline called Nine-Yin Purple Cauldron. Do you know how xianxia heroines with Yin bloodlines all boost cultivation when fucked by a guy once? Like that, there were nine chances of boosting cultivation by fucking Feng Shiyao nine times!

She was the 'Cultivation Boost Elixir *9' secret rare item in human form!

Anyway, Shu Yidan's grandpa realized this and immediately engaged him and Feng Shiyao. The two bound themselves as Dao Companions, and his predecessor took her virginity to breakthrough Golden Core realm.

The problem was that in his predecessor's memories, the memory of their night together was missing. In fact, he realized that his predecessor minimized all sorts of interaction with her. He even began taking pills as drugs after that night.

It was likely that the 'night together' was a trauma for his predecessor.

Thinking this, Shu Yidan completely ignored Feng Shiyao in the past timeline. Feng Shiyao didn't take being abandoned lying down. While ultimately her efforts to pull Shu Yidan down didn't materialize as he still successfully became the Sect Master, Shu Yidan decided that he might as well throw her a bone this time around.

The problem was that they were Dao Companions. Sweet talking her wouldn't help. Throwing treasures wouldn't help.

No, he would have to do the very act that traumatized his predecessor and drove him to drugs.
