All Villains: My Path to Immortality in Another World

Li Shiyi, a top student from Tsinghua University, dies in a car accident and transmigrates into a chaotic world where heaven and earth are overturned. In this realm, spiritual energy is completely depleted, and the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty rules through demonic means, treating the masses as livestock for harvesting negative thoughts. Cultivators refine evil energy and devour resentment; the higher their cultivation, the more demonic they become, viewing human life as worthless. The ancient gods have been cast down from their altars and slandered as 'evil spirits,' serving as mobile treasure troves for cultivators to kill and absorb power. Li Shiyi starts as a blood slave awaiting slaughter, surrounded by vicious cultivators. Relying on the divine soul's purifying flame brought from Earth, he turns the tables. When evil energy corrodes his heart, he uses the purifying flame to filter out demonic influence, cultivating faster than his peers while remaining clear-headed and uncorrupted—the sole anomaly in a world of filth. When evil spirits wreak havoc, he touches them to unlock memories of ancient gods, learning that the court immortals are all world-thieving demon invaders, and the so-called evil spirits are actually wronged true gods. He hides his edge, schemes cunningly, uses others as pawns, plays the fool to catch the tiger, and rises through the ranks step by step toward the pinnacle of immortality. From seizing techniques in a border town to dominating the prefectural immortal academy, from secretly building alliances to declaring himself king and clashing with a million immortal soldiers, he uses his scholarly intellect to overthrow the demonic dynasty, reforge reincarnation, and restore the path of immortality. Amidst the world's countless evils, he keeps his heart clear. When the gods return, a handful of purifying flame will ascend to immortality. — Description from novelcodex.org
