I'm a villain with my own world modifier

The Demon Ancestor has become an ancient taboo that cannot be spoken of, explained, or passed on.

【28】The Truth

——Ancient Tomb——

Under the guidance of the Demon Lord, Bai Qiuyuan arrived at the main tomb chamber where the ancient coffin was located.

Bai Qiuyuan looked at the countless oxidized murals in the main tomb chamber and asked.

"Do you know what's on it?"

The Demon Lord explained after hearing this.

"Senior, this contains the life story of an ancient cultivator."

"When we first arrived here, before we had time to make copies and translate them, they had all oxidized and the contents were no longer legible."

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

"I understand, please go out first."

"If I come out later and see you doing something..."

The Demon Lord replied quickly.

"Don't dare!"

Having said that, he quickly turned around and left the main tomb chamber.

There is a relatively well-preserved faceless statue in this tomb.

Not far away, there is a staircase leading upwards.

At the end of the steps is an altar-like pedestal.

On the pedestal, there is an ancient bronze coffin carved with ancient runes.

However, the runes above seem to have been damaged and ineffective because they have been activated once.

Bai Qiuyuan walked up the steps and came to the ancient coffin. He silently raised his hand and touched the coffin.

But nothing happened.

Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from the faceless statue in the distance!

The black shadow flew straight towards Bai Qiuyuan!

Snapped…

Bai Qiuyuan stretched out his left hand to catch it, but found that it was a stone mask that had decayed due to being there for too long.

[Key to Secret Treasure] X1

Bai Qiuyuan was stunned when he saw the window displayed by the system.

Bai Qiuyuan: “?”

[I haven't even gone to the forbidden area to look for it yet, and the last key just ran away and landed in my hands?]

Bai Qiuyuan then used time rewind on the mask.

The gravel on the mask will automatically fall off and the gaps will be restored quickly!

Then a pale white jade mask appeared in Bai Qiuyuan's hand.

"My Lord! You are finally back!"

As soon as the mask was restored, a thumb-sized little person wearing a white dress appeared!

It looks like the spirit of the mask.

As soon as the weapon spirit appeared, it hugged Bai Qiuyuan's thumb that was pinching the mask.

Bai Qiuyuan pondered for two seconds and then asked directly.

"Did you teleport me to the Netherworld?"

After hearing this, the spirit of the weapon immediately nodded and said.

"My Lord, you were still in the stage of incomplete resurrection when that group of people suddenly broke in and threatened to devour your essence!"

"So I teleported you to the netherworld first!"

Bai Qiuyuan: [I see, it seems I was right.]

[After this body was transported to the netherworld, it was then possessed by my soul.]

"But why does she call me Master? Is it just because we look the same?"

Bai Qiuyuan asked after two seconds of silence.

"How did you know I was your master?"

After hearing this, the spirit of the weapon sat back on the mask in confusion, looked at Bai Qiuyuan, tilted its head, and answered.

"Although my Lord has indeed become much more handsome than before."

“But my Lord is my Lord.”

"Yiyi won't admit her mistake."

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

"How can you prove that I am your master?"

The spirit of the weapon raised its little hand in confusion and smiled.

"My Lord, Yi Yi is your only life-defining magical weapon."

"I have bound your soul, my Lord. Even if you are resurrected, it will not be released."

As he spoke, a strange pale white rune suddenly appeared on the back of the weapon spirit's hand.

Then, a resonance appeared on the back of the right hand of Bai Qiuyuan's incarnation of the soul!

Then, in reality, a rune exactly the same as the weapon spirit appeared on Bai Qiuyuan's right hand!

Bai Qiuyuan: “?!”

Bai Qiuyuan, who already had some understanding of the world of cultivation, instantly realized that something was wrong.

[I have traveled through time from the modern era, and the spirit I cultivated is a completely different, brand new spirit!]

[I have never contracted any natal magic weapon.]

The spirit of the weapon was immediately happy when he saw the rune.

"That's right! You are my Lord!"

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

Bai Qiuyuan looked at the villain and fell into deep thought.

[Could it be that… I’m not actually a time traveler, but the original owner of this body from the beginning?]

[That's not right. Memories of the modern era can't be fabricated out of thin air...]

In an instant, Bai Qiuyuan felt a sharp pain in his soul, and an unknown memory appeared in his mind.

I remember now...

I made a bet with someone and reincarnated into the modern era. I won the bet and returned to the world of cultivation...

[Then the resurrection circle I left behind activated and began to revive me, but halfway through, I was teleported to the netherworld...]

Soon, Bai Qiuyuan confirmed through the memories that appeared in his mind that he was indeed the owner of the mask.

However, Bai Qiuyuan only recovered a small amount of memory, and his other memories were still blank.

Bai Qiuyuan looked at the mask and fell into deep thought.

[So... this body is mine? ]

What bet did I make? Who did I bet with? How did I win?

"My Lord, what's wrong?"

The spirit of the weapon asked in confusion.

Bai Qiuyuan was silent for a moment and then replied.

"Nothing, I seem to have lost some memories this time."

After hearing this, the spirit of the weapon explained with an expression of expectation.

"My Lord, your memory actually has many parts."

"When you went to challenge the Heavenly Dao, my Lord, you personally split some of your memory backups into several copies and placed them in three thousand worlds!"

"And from the beginning, I stayed here as a backup in order to help you regain your memory after your resurrection!"

As the spirit of the weapon spoke, a smug expression appeared on his face.

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

【Guide?】

[And what did I just hear? Challenging the Way of Heaven?]

"Tell me roughly what I did before."

"Yes! My Lord!"

……

Half an hour later...

Bai Qiuyuan lay on the ground with a look of despair on his face.

[Oh my god, the previous owner of this body... ah no, in my previous life, actually killed so many people?]

"If others knew I was the ancient demon ancestor... they would all attack me..."

My lazy life is over...

[Speaking of which, in my previous life, why did I challenge the laws of nature?]

[I remember her saying, "I intend to deprive the Heavenly Dao of its authority." Did she succeed? ...]

Suddenly Bai Qiuyuan thought of something, stood up, opened the editor and fell into deep thought.

Looking at the buggy modifier, Bai Qiuyuan thought after a brief silence.

[…Looks like…it seems to have succeeded?]

[Is this... the authority of Heaven? ]

【…】

[In my previous life... I was so damn awesome! ]

Who can survive after challenging the laws of nature?

Did he really obtain the authority of Heaven?

The spirit of the weapon laughed.

"My Lord! You have just been resurrected. Since the formation was interrupted midway, your cultivation must not have fully recovered yet!"

"But it doesn't matter, I'm here!"

"Within ten years, I will be able to restore you to the Mahayana stage where you can tear through the void!"

"Then take my Lord to another world! Recover his memories!"

Bai Qiuyuan changed his cultivation level to Mahayana stage on the editor and answered.

"As for the Mahayana stage, I have already reached it."

As he spoke, the pressure of the Mahayana period spread out directly!

Weapon Spirit: “???”

[Didn't the master just resurrect about half a month ago?]
