Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!



Chapter 449 – Villain Cultivator 2.0 (3)

Miaomiao summarized the things Xiaomao wanted him to do.

"So, you want me to go in there, kill the protagonists, get their fate crystals, and get out? Is there something else that you haven't told me?"

Miaomiao had no problem with the tasks since he had been working for Mu-Nyang for five million years. He got used to hunting protagonists. However, he was wary of the higher realm's secrets, natural laws, and local customs that didn't exist in Mu-Nyang's universe.

He was on the mark. Xiaomao elaborated.

"Yes. First off, the restrictions of every universe are different. For example, the goblin universe right here rejects every cultivator from the higher realm. If you want to get in there at the moment, you have to go in with only your soul and reincarnate into a local resident. Also, cultivation is strictly prohibited. If you cultivate Qi in there, the protagonist that is controlling the karma river will erase you."

Miaomiao's expression turned ugly, "That's an impossible scenario, isn't it?"

"Yeah. That protagonist has already finished his story, and he is the final winner of the battle royal. Like me, he is invincible in that realm. The goblin overlord has been stuck in there for 10,000 years, and he can't even defeat a mortal small fry because he can't cultivate."

Whenever a protagonist finished their story, their fate crystal was always filled with the power of luck and karma. Unless a fate bearer of the next generation had stronger luck, the universe's laws and nature would always work in his favor. No matter how strong an opponent from a higher realm interfered, they would be helpless on the protagonist's home turf.

Xiaomao deeply sighed. He revealed his secret, "That's why I'm planning to forcefully reset these universes, Father. If I reset them, all things in the universes will return to the starting line. However, the protagonists and main character candidates will retain their old memory, but the universe's laws and restrictions will remain the same. For example, in the goblin universe, humans utilize mana instead of Qi, and they cultivate mana circles in their bodies to achieve immortality and godhood. Qi, domains, and elemental domains are useless in there. My clone reincarnates as a human and becomes a mage, but he's still far from reaching the protagonist's level."

Miaomiao understood why Xiaomao wanted to reset them. He was in a similar situation as Hongjun when Devil almost became the sage stage and threaten their position.

"This is going to be a tough job. Is there any reward for me?"

Xiaomao gave his father a meaningful look. He hesitated for a moment before he decided to offer a precious treasure.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "I have a spare entity fate crystal. It's still inferior to the celestial fate crystal that I have, though."

"…"

Miaomiao gulped. Hearing about the stronger fate crystals, he was tempted.

"How many celestial fate crystals are in this universe, Xiaomao?"

"As far as I know, only 12, including me. If you want to know more, you need to become a heavenly celestial and go see the Florida Overlord yourself."

"… Alright."

Miaomiao took a deep breath. Although he hated working, he didn't have a choice as he didn't like being at the bottom of the food chain.

If higher dimensions existed, there was no reason for him to explore more. After all, nothing was more fun than to exploring the unknown.

"So, what do I have to do?"

Miaomiao made his decision. He wanted the fate crystals of this universe, and he didn't mind being a family man for once.

"Good. I'll tell you the detail."

.

Miaomiao agreed to send his soul to one of the universes. He chose the goblin universe as Xiaomao judged that the local protagonist was weakest among others – He only had the cultivation of a quasi-entity stage. 

As all dantian crystals here had been taken over by local protagonists, they had to sneak into the universe without getting detected. Miaomiao had to leave behind his real body in the higher realm and split a fragment of his soul into the lower universe.

Secondly, because of the risk of getting caught, Miaomiao could not carry his fate crystals or the dantian universe together with the fragment. His split consciousness had to start over from scratch while his real body retained all of his strength. In addition, Devil, Xu Chu, Lilith, Eve, and the wives would remain on the higher dimension for safety.

In summary, it was Mao Miaomiao's turn to become a "Player".

Miaomiao sat cross-legged, concentrating on splitting a fragment of his soul. As soon as a fragment of the soul orb was detached from the main body, he screamed in pain. He felt like all his bones and muscles were broken in unison.

A grain-sized soul fragment was in Miaomiao's hand. He handed it to Xiaomao, leaving the task to him.

"So, what's next?" Asked Miaomiao.

"I'll guide you to a guest room. From now on, you can rest your real body there."

"It might be tough if I have to shift my consciousness back and forth. It feels different from the clone's visions and senses."

"Of course, it's different. You will need to transfer your main consciousness to the soul fragment and leave the main body inactive"

Miaomiao was taken aback. He thought that he could return here any time, "I thought it was like an online game. Is it not?"

Xiaomao shrugged, "To be honest, it's the same as using a game capsule ages ago. I used to leave my main body on Earth while my consciousness and soul are inside the game avatar. It's the same in this situation. You have to leave behind your main body and live as your "Game Avatar" in that universe."

Miaomiao was slightly intimidated. Still, he wasn't afraid of a challenge, especially an upstart quasi-entity-stage protagonist.lightsnovel

Several minutes later, Miaomiao rested his main body in the guest room. He also released his wives out to the higher dimension, allowing them to work for Xiaomao for the time being.

Xiaomao brought the soul fragment to the goblin universe. He then injected his karma into the soul so that he could track his father's whereabouts in the future.

"Are you ready, Father?" Xiaomao asked Miaomiao, whose consciousness resided in the soul fragment.

"Ready."

"Good. Give me a moment. I'll reset that universe first. Oh, I have to warn you again. Even though the universe is reset, the protagonists and main characters in there will still retain their past memory. It won't be easy to catch them. Also, I'll inform the goblin overlord about your arrival, so you can work together, okay?"

"Yeah. Do what you must."

Xiaomao was still a bit worried. He closed his eyes and added another string of karma to Miaomiao's soul.

It was the karma of Miaomiao's soul-bound katana "Killer Queen".

Xiaomao warned Miaomiao, "The katana will remain dormant in your soul. The only way to bring it out is to pull it directly from your new soul orb."

"Oh? So, I get to do one of those pulling-out-a-sword-from-chest thingy?"

"Yeah. Also, I've implanted a system in your soul. I'm sure you'll find it easy to operate. If you have any issues, you can contact me through the messenger app."

"…"

After warning his father, Xiaomao put his palm on the goblin soul crystal.

CLICK-CLICK-CLICK

The dark orb turned grey. Then, everything flowed backward as the time in there was rewinded.

Xiaomao sweated bullets. The task took a toll on him even though he was a celestial entity. The karma and the restrictions of the lower-realm protagonists were too complex that Xiaomao had to brute-force and cut some of the karma strings inside.

The universe was in chaos. Galaxies and stars collided. Many lives were erased in the process. However, most of the casualties were from the human cultivator's side as they occupied 90% of the universe.

While everything was in chaos, Xiaomao injected the soul fragment of Mao Miaomiao into the local Samsara River. He bid his father farewell.

"Sorry to make you work, Father. We just can't allow those ambitious protagonists to climb up to this realm. Otherwise, the galaxies and the paradise that I built for Mu-Nyang, you, and me will be ruined."

.

After sending Miaomiao off, a certain white cat teleported into the throne hall. He sat on Xiaomao's shoulder.

Mu-Nyang looked at the goblin universe and deeply sighed. He also didn't want to use Miaomiao to hunt protagonists again as he also believed that Miaomiao deserved the promised retirement. However, he didn't have a choice since Miaomiao never stopped reproducing and degrading the genes indirectly. 

"Did you properly send him off, munya?"

"Yeah. He's gone inside."

"This takes me back," Mu-Nyang thought of the early days when Devil struggled to kill Kishin Douji and become a sage to escape the loop. However, the sage kept resetting the universe, causing endless chaos. At that time, Mu-Nyang was in bad shape and almost died.

"Was it as rough as this?" Xiaomao wiped the sweat on his face. The adjustment was completed, but it would take him a few months to recuperate from the Qi loss.

"A lot rougher. I was on the verge of death back then, munya. Pangu really did a number on me. Good thing that Solomon secretly helped me prevent Pangu from taking over the Samsara River. Otherwise, I would have been dead for real when Pangu first killed my consciousness."

Xiaomao nodded. He had seen so many strong overlords die because of internal dantian problems.

Cultivating fate crystals might give them a boost in cultivation and luck. However, it was a double-edged sword. As they gave birth to protagonists in their dantian universe, the dantian owner had the responsibility to tame or suppress them.

Xiaomao bitterly laughed. He thought of a weird story that he read on Earth.

"I guess we should call ourselves [Antagonist Cultivators] now."

"Nah, munya. [Villain Cultivator] sounds better. Protagonist hunters are practically villains, and we raise villains. We're Villain Cultivators, munya!"

The cat and cat owner laughed. They turned their gaze at the gold universe.

The time flow slowly resumed. The reset was completed, and 99% of the human souls returned to the Samsara River. The protagonist rebels died, and their souls also transformed into karma strings.

In a few years, these protagonists would be reborn in the new universe. Mao Miaomiao would also be there to contest them.

A new journey awaited Mao Miaomiao once again.
