Strongest Villain System

In front of the worn-out bell tower, the old man leaned against the corner of the wall. The bottle in his hand had long since been emptied, but he still mechanically poured wine into his mouth from time to time.    

Only when he was certain that there was no more wine to be poured did he reluctantly throw the bottle aside. However, no one would have thought that such an ordinary existence was actually a secret guardian, and even a World Protector.    

“Amitabha!”    

“This lowly monk, Lao Chen, greets Senior Secret Guardian.”    

“Senior, this lowly monk is offering this to you.”    

A pitch-black bottle surged out of Lao Chen’s palm, and he respectfully placed it before the old man. He did not dare to be disrespectful to this World Protector.    

Whether it was a calamity fiend or an evil being, or even an Echelon Apostle.    

Even the World Protector had to bow his head respectfully when he saw the World Protector.    

The reason why a secret guardian was called a secret guardian was because he grasped a secret that was enough to kill a Saint Emperor.    

Once the secret was lost, it would bring about a monstrous disaster.    

“Little bald donkey, you’ve got a point!”    

“Speak! Where did you come from?”    

“You know the rules.”    

The old man opened his murky eyes and instantly passed the bottle to the old man. He took a deep gulp, and it seemed as if he was enjoying the aftertaste.    

“Senior, this lowly monk understands the rules.”    

“This lowly monk doesn’t want to pry into those past secrets.”    

“Today, this lowly monk has come to ask you a question.”    

"Senior, where is Zero?"    

The old man clasped his hands together and looked at the old man respectfully. It was obvious that whoever found the experimental body first would have the initiative. After all, the secrets of the experimental body were too great.    

"Little bald donkey, a bottle of wine is not enough to answer this question."    

"However, I can tell you that you can't find Zero."    

"Even if you can find her, you will die."    

"Little bald donkey, seeing that you often give me wine, I will give you a piece of advice. If you can leave this universe as soon as possible, you should leave as soon as possible!"    

"This is not a place you can play around in."    

After saying that, the old man leaned against the corner of the wall again. His eyes slowly closed, but he looked at a corner in the void.    

"Senior, thank you for your advice. I will take my leave now!"    

Luo Chen left very quickly, because he knew the rules. If the price was not enough, then it was not enough. It could only be said that Zero had too many secrets, so he could only leave temporarily and look for other ways.    

"Hey! Boy, when are you going to sneak around?"    

"Why aren't you coming out? Do you want me to invite you?"    

"You... Damn it... You have actually reached the Echelon life stage."    

"How is that possible?"    

The old man suddenly stood up. His face was filled with shock. He simply could not believe his eyes. Gu Huang had actually reached the Echelon life stage. It had only been a few years.    

The key was that he was still a living being, not an Echelon lifeform.    

What kind of shocking change was this?    

Even if all living beings were to transform into an Echelon lifeform, it would not be a 100% success.    

After not seeing him for a few years, he had broken through the Echelon lifeform's barrier with his own body.    

The devil king of the world was truly not to be underestimated.    

"Senior, I really can't hide anything from you."    

"Coincidentally, I broke through by luck. Today, I came here to ask you a few questions."    

"Senior, you are keeping secrets for others, so you should be able to speak freely to me!"    

Gu Huang did not bother to disguise himself. He instantly appeared in front of the old man with his original appearance, and his gaze was filled with a deep sense of peace.    

A secret keeper!    

One of the World Guardians.    

It was likely that the reason why those monsters were able to leave the world was also related to him.    

"Kid, just based on the fact that you can step into the Echelon with a living being, this alone is worth all the questions you want to ask."    

"Then, I will answer all your questions."    

"On the other hand, you will also tell me how you leveled up."    

"How?"    

The old man's face was solemn and serious. One had to know that Gu Huang was not from the Old Saint's bloodline, but he was able to level up to become an Echelon lifeform. Didn't that mean that his talent was comparable to the Old Saint's?    

"Deal!"    

"Senior, the first question is, what exactly does the Kalpa Devil, evil thing, and the others want to do?"    

"The second question is, what is Number 0?"    

"Third question, what is hidden in this universe?"    

Gu Huang had gathered a lot of information, but whether it was the Kalpa Demon, the evil beings, or the Echelon Apostles, they all knew very little. Only this old man knew the most.    

"Kid, you really hit the nail on the head!"    

"Alright! First question, the Kalpa Demon, the Echelon Apostles, and the evil beings all want to control this universe. This universe is not as simple as you think. It looks like a broken and low-level universe, and the limit is to produce a supreme level."    

"However, do you know that this universe has produced several Holy Emperors before? It has never been a simple universe. It's just that the level has fallen."    

"This was once a land of lost Echelon. However, that Echelon has disappeared. Perhaps it is hidden somewhere in this universe. However, as long as the Echelon does not appear in the world, no one can find it."    

"The second question, the so-called No. 0 is the Kalpa Demon, the evil beings and the nine great Echelons. It is a special life created by the joint efforts of the Old Saints and the Nine Great Echelons. You have been following the little bald donkey for so long, so I believe you know some things."    

"One word, No. 0 is infinitely close to perfection. It can use the Kalpa Demon, the evil being, the Echelon, and the Old Saints. Those few major forces want to fuse all the powers they know and create an extremely powerful Echelon."    

"As for this Echelon, it will fight against the internal world... Of course, this is another question. If you want to listen, you have to pay a fee."    

"The third question is that there are many things in this universe. There are passages that lead to the source of the universe, doors that lead to the inner parts of the world, and coordinates that lead to the other worlds."    

"The most important thing is still the corpse of time. As everyone knows, time is dead, but the corpse of time is sealed in this universe..."    

"And time also left behind his own test, choosing a new successor. However, fate and karma have been secretly blocking it."    

"As a result, the successor of time will die no matter how many come. Because of the predetermined fate and karma, no new time will be born."    

"Do you understand now?"    

"Now, it's your turn to answer. How did you break through?"    

The old man looked at Gu Huang with interest. There was nothing more worthy of being desired than secrets, especially the secrets of the ascension of all living things...    

"Senior, you might not believe it."    

"I went to the source of the universe and entered a relic. I saw a relic of a certain senior and inherited some of his teachings."    

"Then I naturally broke through. It should be some old sage!"    

"I don't know the specifics."    

Gu Huang shrugged his shoulders casually, indicating his inheritance. Anyway, that old sage did not mind using his name.    

"Old sage!"    

"Impossible? Kid, you are very dishonest."    

“The relics left behind by the old sage’s nine bloodlines have all been thoroughly explored.”    

“How could there still be an old sage? However, the power you possess is indeed from the old sage.”    

“Could it be that…”    

“Kid, where is that relic?”    

The old man was instantly stunned. He was very clear that the old sage had left behind nine bloodlines, but few people knew that the old sage was not nine bloodlines, but ten bloodlines. Only the last one did not leave behind anything…
