Systemless Villain

Chapter 148 A Man from the Future

The sun blazed in the cloudless sky as Long Tian, driving his car, arrived at the front of the villa. He swiftly carried Li Yue'er, making his way inside.

Hurrying to the second floor, he entered Li Yue'er's room and gently laid her on the bed.

Long Tian stared at her, unsure of how to bring her back to consciousness. Perhaps it would happen naturally, much like when she regained consciousness in the forest.

However, a sudden realization dawned upon him. From his spatial ring, he retrieved the Seven-Forms Pagoda.

"Perharps I should activate this artifact," he muttered to himself.

This pagoda was far from ordinary. Seven forms, seven functions: Healing, Space, Time, Strength, Resistance, Speed, and Protection.

All seven functions would manifest once the pagoda was activated. Unfortunately, at the moment, the artifact could only provide limited healing.

Long Tian contemplated the pagoda. "I suppose it's worth a try," he said.

With determination, he held the pagoda above Li Yue'er, and it began to spin, casting a soft green light that enveloped her gradually.

The process lasted for a few seconds before the green light dimmed. Yet, Li Yue'er remained unconscious.

Long Tian sighed, "It seems I can only wait for her to regain consciousness on her own," he said.

With that, he carefully stowed the pagoda back into his spatial ring.

After lingering for a few moments, he exited the room.

---

The shower's water cascaded over Long Tian's body, his expression devoid of any emotions, only intense concentration evident.

He wasn't thinking about Li Yue'er; instead, his mind delved deep into the intricate tapestry of the world's plot.

Since transmigrating into this world, he hadn't fully grasped the upcoming events, Qin Chen's chances, and others. It felt like those fragmented memories needed strong focus to recall, each image a piece of a vast puzzle.

In his mind, various scenes of dozens, even hundreds, of events materialized, accumulating into an endless sea alongside his other memories.

This process continued for several minutes, and now, Long Tian opened his eyes again, his gaze more commanding, as if he had unlocked a hidden reservoir of knowledge.

He now remembered a few things. Luckily, he hadn't missed many significant opportunities.

In reality, Qin Chen had numerous golden chances to become stronger, but most of them were unworthy for Long Tian, primarily being cultivation base-boosting herbs, mysterious spiritual pools, and a few mid-tier weapons.

"It seems I should start activating the pagoda as soon as possible," he murmured.

With that thought in mind, he left the shower, wearing only a towel.

Walking into his room, he intended to get clothes from the wardrobe. However, he paused as he suddenly heard a ringing tone.

His gaze fell upon the bed where his phone vibrated. He picked it up, checking the caller ID; it was Gong Zui.

He promptly answered the call, "Hello, Uncle Zui?" he inquired.

Gong Zui responded, "Yes, Long Tian, it's me. About the pool you instructed me to guard... Well, someone has entered the cave," his voice was low and hushed.

"What?" Long Tian was surprised. "Is the person a young man of my age with short hair?" he asked, his tone genuinely concerned.

"He's your age. However, he has slightly long, dark-blue hair. Right now, I'm hiding on the cave's roof, not interrupting him, as per your instructions," Gong Zui replied.

Hearing this, Long Tian's brow furrowed even deeper. He had indeed instructed Gong Zui, a member of the Long family, to guard and provide a high-level spiritual stone daily to a pool inside the cave.

Certainly, that was no ordinary pool; it held secrets and included opportunities that Qin Chen would receive.

He had told Gong Zui not to attack anyone who entered, assuming it would be Qin Chen, as he had plans for that.

But now, he received news that it was a young man with long, deep-blue hair... Clearly not Qin Chen.

"Alright, Uncle Zui, is the person the same as the one I showed you in the picture the other day?" he inquired.

"No... He looks entirely different from the picture," Gong Zui responded.

Hearing this, it became even clearer that it wasn't Qin Chen.

"Wait, Long Tian... The young man seems to be throwing many spiritual stones... Wait... They're all profound-level spiritual stones!" Gong Zui said, his tone urgent.

"What?!" Long Tian was astonished. "I'm on my way there now, stop him from entering that pool!" he said urgently.

"Okay," Gong Zui nodded.

With that, the call ended.

Long Tian swiftly dressed and leaped out of the window. Instead of using a car, he opted to run for speed.

His destination: the Shanghai forest.

---------------

Meanwhile, inside the cave near the pool, a young man of the same age as Long Tian, with slightly long dark blue hair, a decent face, and dressed casually, was placing numerous profound-level spiritual stones into the pool.

The pool started to shimmer with a vibrant blue light, swirling like a vortex of water as he continued to add more and more spiritual stones.

It took tremendous effort for him to acquire these profound-level spiritual stones. He had spent almost all of his wealth, even draining his family's fortune, resorting to theft and even selling human organs from those he killed just to obtain these stones.

The total cost he incurred could reach billions of Yuan, and that didn't include the countless treasures he traded.

From his face, he looked somewhat familiar; his name was Lei Guang, a man reborn 30 years from the future.

Since his rebirth, he had taken advantage of many things that should have only appeared in the future.

He, who was initially a cultivator at the 5th level of body tempering, had now reached the 7th level of Foundation Qi cultivation.

All thanks to his knowledge from the future. And at this moment, he intended to enter the pool.

Surely this was no ordinary pool; it served as a gateway to another realm. This extraordinary opportunity had once been destined for one of the great venerables - Qin Chen. But now, that opportunity would be his.
