Reincarnated As Villain: System That Beat Other Systems

"This is…!"

My mother examines me with widened eyes as she looks over my body and soul. She is an expert who has already reached a high-ranking stage of Saint Stage.

While I am in the Foundation Stage, my mother stands two ranks above me in the Saint Stage, a stage of immense power and influence. She has already reached the Saint Monarch rank, a feat that commands respect and fear in our world.

After the Warrior Stage, here comes the Saint Stage. This stage has four ranks: Golden Saint, Immortal Saint, Monarch Saint, and Venerable Saint.

There are two more stages; the first is called the Immortal Realm. In this stage, there are three ranks: Nascent God, True God, and Heavenly God.

The last one is still unknown because the book ends after the protagonist reaches the Heavenly God rank.

However, that is for the future. For now, I need to get out of the Foundation Stage first before I can think of how to reach the Immortal Realm.

"How is it, mother? Will this be dangerous for me?"

"Dangerous?! How can it be?! This is something that many people will kill to get! With these Dragon Bones, you can reach the Immortal Realm!"

"Really?"

"Yes! With this, you can get accepted as a Core Disciple immediately!"

Ah, I remember this. The Xu clan needs to spend a lot of money to make Xu Chen good enough to enter the Core Disciple of the Green River Palace. It is the biggest and most powerful sect in the entire continent and the only organization that can rival the Xu clan power in this continent.

In the canon timeline, the protagonist will immediately attain the Core Disciple status because of all the cheat items and techniques in his body. He is known as the most prodigious person in the entire sect, and he managed to surpass Xu Chen in his first year as a disciple.

However, if what my mother said is true, I will be given a Core Disciple position immediately and get the biggest support a disciple can get to increase our cultivation.

"However, you need to go lay low for now. At the moment, you are only at Qi Gathering rank. You cannot defend yourself even with the pill you made and the bones you get. I will ensure you reach the Origin Tempering before joining the Green River Palace entrance exam."

That means I need to reach Origin Tempering rank in two years, huh? That sounds insane, but the impossible turns possible with the help of Xu Clan and my newfound cheat code.

"I will work hard, mother."

My mother smiles at me and gives me a tight hug.

"I know you will, little Chen."

After releasing me from her hug, she looks me in the eyes and says.

"Ah, before you go and cultivate, Elder Qin says you want to show us something?"

"Oh, yeah."

I snap my finger, and a second later, a portal appears.

"Come on, mom! I will show you around."

I take my mother and Elder Qin to the Heavenly Golden Bridge, where they look around in wonder.

"L-Little Chen! What is this place?"

"This is the Heavenly Golden Bridge. This place lets me access another world."

"Another world?! Can this bridge access the higher realm?!"

I look at Elder Qin and ask the system.

Can this place take me to the higher realm, System?

I am not surprised there is a higher realm in this universe. Just like all Cultivation Novels, there are always higher realms other than this one.

No, host. The higher realm of this universe is locked out of the system's reach. You need to reach that place manually. After you reach the higher realm, you can connect to the lower realm using this system.

I look at Elder Qin and say.

"Sadly, no. However, I can connect to the higher realm using this bridge if I reach that realm."

"That means you can bring Holy Medicine from the higher realms."

"If I can reach that realm, yes."

Elder Qin nods his head, and I can see his eyes are full of excitement. What is he? Reaching the higher realm is not something I can do in a year or two.

"However, the reason why I take you here is because of this thing. Take a look."

The two of them stand next to me and read the words in front of them.

"I see. We can deliver the goods from this continent to any continent in this world."

"Yup! With this, we do not need to worry about the cost of the transport. We can sell all our trash goods to another continent and reap the profit."

I can see a glint in my mother's eyes, and I know that she agrees with my proposal. She might not be as well known as my father, but she is still a strong cultivator and the shadow that holds the true string of the market in this city.

She is the reason why the Xu Clan rose through the ranks of the richest family in the entire continent, beating second place and making them envious of us. Something that the protagonist uses to destroy the Xu Clan. I need to take care of that later.

"We can use this opportunity to let the low-ranking pill maker of our family train and profit from it."

"That is a good idea. With this, we can train our pill maker and profit at the same time. When can you make a permanent portal?"

"I can do it now. However, each time you want to make a portal, you need to pay ten thousand Spirit Stones. You can put them in here."

"Ten thousand Spirit Stones? That is cheap. A thousand times cheaper than using the Spirit Boat. We will start now. I will gather trustworthy people to create a connection to the Vermillion Flame continent. Then we will open up a merchant hall to sell all these goods."

"And we don't need to do it only in the Vermillion Flame continent, mother. We can spread it across the other continents as well."

"You are right! Fufufufufu~ With this, the Xu Clan shall rise even higher by ruling the entire world from the shadows."

I cannot help but join my mother's laugh. Just you wait, you bastard. I will block every opportunity for you to gather money! All of your money-making schemes shall not bear any fruit. I want to pity you for your hardship now to gather money to open your first world, but in the future, you will kill me.

You can blame fate.
