Sky-Scraping Tower

The Dayan Empire had enjoyed a reign of over thirteen hundred years.
The Emperor was critically ill, the Crown Prince was regent, local immortal sects were entrenched, and central authorities were vying for power in the chaotic court.
Upon waking,
Xu Yuan saw a dilapidated temple in the mountain rain at night,
saw the eerie, broken-armed stone Buddha,
and,
the mysterious woman by the fire, her face veiled by thin gauze.
...
...
He had become the ultimate villain's third son, of pure heritage and legitimate lineage.
The fake villain, dressed in fine garments and enjoying luxurious feasts, simply waited to be humiliated, while the real villain was caught by the Big Ice Lump and dragged across the world in flight from the start.
Golden finger?
Only a fake villain relied on a golden finger to get rich, a true villain dared to confront a bleak life!
"If Heaven had not birthed me, Xu Changtian, villains would be as eternal as the never-ending night."
"........"
"Father, save me!"

The conversation fell into silence for a moment, as the sand brushed past their hair ends.  


Mu Xingyi looked at the surprise on Xu Yuan's face, sipped his drink, and said indifferently:  


"Seeing Brother Zhou's expression, it seems you truly didn't know about this."  


Xu Yuan realized his expression had given him away, composed himself, and said:  


"Brother Zhou has been wandering far from home for many years, exposed only to local customs, rarely getting channels for such information."  


Mu Xingyi stared at Xu Yuan for a few moments, nodded slightly, his expression still that ageless, feebly smiling one:  


"Indeed... Wandering might expose one to myriad tales, but major military affairs like these are seldom heard by many."
