Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 1 You call this an evil soul master?
The breeze is gentle and the sky is cloudless.

In a slum.

under the tree.

Xu Cheng gently handed the kitten in his arms to the little girl and touched her head with a smile.

"Thank you brother!"

The little girl looked at Xu Cheng's handsome face, her little face flushed, and she lowered her head to thank him.

"fine."

Xu Cheng waved goodbye.

His face was gentle.

Only after the little girl's figure, looking back every few steps, disappeared into the alley did his expression slowly fade.

A figure slowly emerged from behind.

"His Royal Highness the Holy Son."

The man in black robe looked helpless.

"The goods you requested have been brought from South City. The homeless children in the Holy Spirit Church have also been settled down according to your instructions. They will have a new life because of your kindness..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done."

"Can……"

The man in black robe had a conflicted look on his face.

"Your Highness, we are the Holy Spirit Church! When my name is mentioned, everyone should be terrified, like a child crying. Why would you do such a good deed? Now that I see that grateful look..." The black-robed man shuddered. "I feel like there are ants crawling on my body, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Wrong! Big mistake!"

Xu Cheng frowned slightly, looked at the man in black robe, and sighed with deep sorrow.

"I thought you could understand my good intentions, but I didn't expect that...

"Holy Son! No... I know I am wrong!"

The man in black robe suddenly felt as if a suffocating python was entangled in his conscience.

I was at a loss for words and wanted to explain.

"Alas, this is not your fault. After all, those who achieve great things and create successors are all lonely. This era cannot understand his painstaking efforts..."

Xu Cheng waved his hand and turned to face the sunset.

“What did you feel while saving those children?”

"Feel……"

The man in black racked his brains.

“Remember with your heart.”

Xu Cheng's voice softened, like a ray of light guiding the black-clothed man's heart.

Recalling those respectful, loving, and grateful eyes, the man in black slowly spoke, "It seems... there is a hint of joy. They admire me very much. There is even a little boy who said that he wants to become a hero like me in the future..."

"correct."

Xu Cheng snapped his fingers.

"Then let me ask you again, what did you gain from this process?"

"Love and respect, these children seem to be less afraid of the Holy Spirit Church."

The man in black robe groaned, and this time he answered much faster.

"If someone told them now that the Holy Spirit Church was an organization that killed innocent people, committed bloody violence, and caused great suffering to the people of the continent, do you think... they would believe it?"

"No... no, hiss..."

The black-clothed man's eyes narrowed suddenly.

I just felt my scalp tingling.

Swallow deeply, throat rolling.

Not only will these ordinary civilians not believe it, but they will be even more grateful to the Holy Spirit Church. Although they dare not resist openly against the oppression of the nobles, they gnash their teeth in secret and wish to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

So the style of painting changed.

what?
In order to stabilize the ruling class, the nobles slandered these good organizations [Holy Spirit Church] and called them evil soul masters?

These are all conspiracies and tricks of the feudal class!
I want to join the Holy Spirit Church and overthrow the aristocratic ruling class!

As for whether the common people have poor talents...

I'm sorry, a considerable number of people in my Holy Spirit Church come from the common people.

Moreover, the civilian population of the entire continent accounts for a huge proportion. If we can win over this class...

That means you are truly blessed by Heaven and will live long and prosper.

"Yes."

Xu Cheng raised his head slightly, looked towards the sky, and put his hands behind his back.

The voice was plain, but to the black-robed man, it was as deafening as thunder.

"If we want to unify the world, killing is not an option. We, the Holy Spirit Church, must take root among the common people, gain their faith, and create an opposition to the nobles, so that we can continue to thrive and draw nourishment from them..."

"These innocent children just don't have the channels to awaken their martial spirits, but that doesn't mean they can be slaughtered at will. When there are enough of them, this power will be enough to shake the four empires!"

The man in black's breathing became more and more rapid.

What a grand goal, what a shocking state of mind.

Dominate the world!
It turns out that we... have all wronged His Royal Highness the Saint!

but……

Aren't you also a noble?
"..."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task [Help the little girl find the cat], reward level +0.5, current level: Level 30 Soul Master, waiting to hunt soul rings..."

Xu Cheng listened to the pleasant system sound coming from his ears, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Finally, I have become a Soul Master..."

It has been eleven years since I traveled to this world.

His identity was not bad. He was the eleventh son of the current Sun and Moon Emperor, Xu Cheng. His mother was the emperor's concubine, not a maid or someone with no name or status. But unfortunately, she died early after giving birth to him.

The only legacy left behind was a border division. The division commander was a maid that Xu's mother had brought with her when she was alive. The maid was loyal and had a talent for soul guides. The emperor, thinking of Xu's mother, granted her the status of division commander and ordered her to lead a division to guard the border between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

His strength seems to be... just entering the eighth realm?

Xu Cheng couldn't remember either.

After all, guarding the border, one cannot leave without permission. Unless the emperor gives the order, it is rare for one to come back once every ten years...

As for why a noble prince would collude with an evil soul master and become his holy son.

Of course, when he was six years old, Xu Cheng not only awakened the Sun, the martial soul of the Sun-Moon Empire, but also had a hidden martial soul [Blood Eyes]. Unfortunately, when he secretly revealed it one time, he was discovered by the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, Zhongli Wu, who invited him to join the Church.

Xu Cheng originally refused, but suddenly the golden finger [Charity King] system came.

The system's main task is to join the Holy Spirit Church and then... persuade people to be good.

In order to complete the task, Xu Cheng had no choice but to join forces with this group of evil soul masters.

After all, the reward for this bus mission is too tempting.

And he also became the only oddity in the Holy Spirit Church...

Forget it.

Xu Cheng shook his head and threw away the memories.

Since this is Douluo Continent, we must follow the spirit of being here and do something. However, unifying the continent is naturally contrary to the long-term plan of the God King Tang.

Besides, what's the difference between Dou Er not rebelling against the Tang Dynasty and Chuan Qing not rebelling?
Therefore, when Xu Cheng traveled through time, he had already thought about how to rebel against the Tang Dynasty with his own strength.

Weaken Huo Gua, go to the Xingdou Great Forest, attract Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Alex, have friendly exchanges with the auspicious beasts, provoke the relationship between Wang Dong'er and Tang San, vigorously develop soul guides, etc.

These are all his future plans.

But in the current timeline, Huo Gua is just a seven-year-old poor child who has just awakened his martial spirit and lives with his mother in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

There are still four years before the story begins.

So before that...

Xu Cheng smiled.

Just as the system task prompts, Tang Ya, one of the future Holy Spirit Church saints, will encounter a huge change tonight, and the Tang Sect, which carries a history of ten thousand years, will also disappear after tonight...

So, plan ahead...
