Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 76: Emperor Qin Xian

Alongside Qin Xian, the corpse of 【Void Warlord Kar’eg】 appeared, marking the end of the battle. A profound silence fell over the entire royal city, and shock was etched on every face. Qin Xian had defeated Kar’eg, the final Boss, alone in less than five minutes!?

Though Qin Xian had amazed the people many times before, this time, the astonishment was beyond anything they’d experienced. 

After all, 【Void Warlord Kar’eg】 was not just any opponent but the final Boss of the Broken Heaven dungeon—a genuine Void Warlord, not merely a simulated enemy created by the Divine Revelation system.

For centuries, across countless attempts at Broken Heaven, no player or team had ever successfully defeated 【Void Warlord Kar’eg】. 

The best record to date had been forcing him to retreat with 18% of his health remaining. The people had prepared themselves for a grueling battle, anticipating a fight that might last several hours, or even all night. Yet here was Qin Xian, emerging victorious in just five minutes.

A wave of despair filled their hearts. Was the difference between individuals really so vast?

Just then, everyone received their perfect-clear rewards. Although they hadn’t defeated the final Boss themselves, they had reached 100% World Purification, plus they had taken down the previous six Bosses. 

Each player received an enormous amount of experience points, with many leveling up several times in a single leap. This one dungeon run in Broken Heaven was worth several years of regular progress in the outside world!

Additionally, they received countless gems and materials from the Divine Revelation system as rewards. If sold, each person could easily pocket a few million credits.

Qin Xian’s own system interface displayed the completion message:

【Perfect Clear of Broken Heaven Dungeon, System Rating: SSS】

– Reward: 660,000 XP, Broken Heaven Set (Purple Quality), 【Rift Summoning Skill Book】, 【Void Dominion Skill Book】.

With a surge of light, Qin Xian leveled up from 25 to 30 instantly! At Level 30, his Oracle Knight class unlocked its first Divine Fragment.

【Oracle’s Retribution】: Divine Fragment; increases all primary attributes by 10%, raises all skill levels by 1, grants +10% to divinity progression, provides immunity to divine intimidation skills, and unlocks the Retribution Edict.

【Retribution Edict】: Inflicts true damage equal to 50% of the target’s maximum health, guarantees a hit, and reduces the target’s skill accuracy by 30% and primary attributes by 30% for 240 seconds.

Cooldown: 24 hours.

Studying the Divine Fragment he’d gained, Qin Xian narrowed his eyes in surprise. This 【Retribution Edict】 skill… was astonishingly powerful, especially because it guaranteed a hit. 

This meant that even legendary beings would be unable to escape it. With one strike, Qin Xian could strip them of half their health!

Incredible. For a legendary figure with millions, even tens of millions of health points, he could deplete 5 million health in an instant, leaving even the strongest legends in a weakened state. 

Qin Xian felt his expectations for the Divine Fragments heighten. Normally, he could only acquire one fragment every 30 levels, meaning he’d need to reach Level 300 to achieve full divinity. But that was nearly impossible. At most, he could hope to become a demigod.

But he knew there were other Divine Fragments hidden within the Hall of the Gods…

With the fall of 【Void Warlord Kar’eg】, the world shifted. All traces of void corruption vanished, and the broken world began to heal. 

The royal city was bathed in golden light, exuding a profound sanctity. Though it was an illusion, the people could see a glimpse of the prosperity and glory of the ancient empire.

At that moment, the spirits of ancient emperors emerged, their once agonized expressions now serene as they faced the crowd.

With majestic voices, they proclaimed, “The reign of kings has ended, the empire is reborn, the gods shall awaken, and all shall rise.”

A massive gateway materialized in the city’s plaza, revealing a towering staircase within—the Stairway to Heaven.

Qin Xian understood. This was the path to the Hall of the Gods, where he could receive the blessings of the ancient celestials. After defeating both 【Empress Angelina】 and 【Void Warlord Kar’eg】, Qin Xian gifted his sister, Qin Li, with 20 Void Crystals.

Even after this, Qin Xian still held 40 Void Crystals, more than enough to qualify for the highest blessings.

“Let’s go. Let’s see what these so-called gods look like,” Qin Xian said to Qin Li with a slight smile. His face held only mild curiosity, with no hint of reverence or worship. To him, gods were merely beings of greater power.

Besides, these deities were broken gods, stripped of their divine essence by the Great Terror of the Void, the Third Court’s Khornus.

Those with Void Crystals entered the gateway, making their way to the Hall of the Gods. The others left the dungeon, knowing that Qin Xian’s name would soon echo throughout the empire. 

Whether for his feat of single-handedly defeating 【Void Warlord Kar’eg】 or the controversy of sacrificing tens of thousands during the raid on 【Empress Angelina】, Qin Xian would become the empire’s, perhaps humanity’s, most discussed and divisive figure. 

As Qin Xian passed through the portal, he found himself in what seemed to be an entirely new world—immersed in dreams.

In these visions, Qin Xian witnessed many scenes, as if he had truly become the emperor of an ancient empire. The Void had just begun its invasion, and the empire was on the brink of collapse. The dream was so vivid that Qin Xian nearly forgot his real identity, fully embracing the role of the ancient empire’s ruler.

Within this dream, countless citizens of the empire were gripped by panic, and even the empire’s ministers were paralyzed by fear, uncertain of what to do. At this critical moment, Qin Xian stepped forward.

With an iron fist, he consolidated all military power, sending it to the front lines and forcibly conscripting every able-bodied man. He ordered that the Void’s forces be stopped at any cost, regardless of casualties.

Then, utilizing all the ancient empire’s knowledge—including forbidden sorceries—Qin Xian began conducting human experiments to test these dark magics. He even orchestrated sacrificial rituals to obtain greater power.

Ultimately, he transformed all the empire’s citizens into beings akin to Void creatures. He even arranged for the citizens to interbreed with Void monsters, creating an entirely new species—powerful, fearless, yet utterly devoid of emotion. They resembled machines, existing solely to fulfill Qin Xian’s will.

In the end, under Qin Xian’s iron rule, the ancient empire repelled the Void invasion.
