Chapitre 54: The Villain's Plot Unfolds

Zhang Wei only had a small fragment of his old soul remaining, which he planned to divide into three smaller parts. He intended to use one of these parts to create his secondary soul seed, which would enable him to parasitize Qin Tian. However, he hesitated, not because his goodness had awakened, but for another reason.

Zhang Wei contemplated the idea that a child of destiny should have the fate of a child of destiny. What if he failed to parasitize Qin Tian, a suspected child of destiny, and Qin Tian discovered his evil intentions? Becoming an enemy of a regular talent was one thing, but becoming an enemy of a suspected child of destiny was a death sentence. Zhang Wei knew that a good villain hides his tracks and lives long. Revealing his true identity to one more person could significantly shorten his life.

With determination, Zhang Wei thought to himself, "Since I have chosen to be a bad guy, I must commit to it fully. Doing it half-heartedly will only lead to a shortened life. Besides, I have always preferred to hide myself, both in this life and in my past life. Therefore, I shall walk in the shadows to conceal my good deeds, for as noble men have said, 'Always hide your fame, fortune, and good deeds.'"

Zhang Wei also pondered that a good villain is one whom even the protagonist believes to be a good man. Since he was going to be a good man, he would give Qin Tian a chance to change his destiny. The Soulless technique that Zhang Wei possessed was the opportunity for Qin Tian to alter his fate.

Zhang Wei possessed the Soulless technique, an evil technique that allowed one to devour the souls of others and rapidly increase their own power. Although it was a dangerous and malevolent art, it was also incredibly powerful. He also possessed the Boundless Evil Immortal Sutra, a technique that allowed him to transform the souls he had devoured into pure soul power. It wasn't as efficient as the Soulless technique, but it was more stable and had better long-term benefits.

Zhang Wei came up with a plan. He would give Qin Tian the Soulless technique and secretly plant his own soul seed within Qin Tian's soul. He would omit the Avatar Creating step of the cultivation technique and give the rest which will allow Qin Tian to cultivate his soul normally and also use the Soulless technique to devour the souls of others. Every time Qin Tian cultivated with the Soulless technique, Zhang Wei's hidden soul seed would consume a small portion of the devoured soul and grow stronger. Eventually, when the soul seed had fully matured, he would attempt to devour Qin Tian's soul.

It would take time, but Zhang Wei was willing to be patient. He knew that he wouldn't have many opportunities to devour souls himself, but if he gave the Soulless technique to Qin Tian, he would have many chances. If Qin Tian turned out to be a child of destiny, he would have many enemies in the future, and this technique would allow him to grow his power quickly by devouring the souls of his enemies. It would also give Zhang Wei the chance to grow his own soul seed very fast and also adopt to Qin Tian's body perfectly. So that when he takes control of Qin Tian's body, he will have no problem.

Furthermore, Zhang Wei knew that even if Qin Tian's soul grew to be incredibly powerful, he would never be able to break free from his grasp. He had planned everything meticulously, including secretly stealing all of Qin Tian's memories during the hidden period of the soul seed. This would help him replace Qin Tian completely in the future, without anyone suspecting a thing.

With his plan ready and enough time on his hands, Zhang Wei decided to follow it without any haste. He had divided the old soul part into three smaller parts for a reason. Initially, he had planned to divide the soul into two parts, with one for himself to cultivate the soulless technique and the other for Qin Tian to be parasitized. However, he made some changes to his plan. Instead of wasting time cultivating his soul, he planned to make Prince Chang his avatar without delay.

Prince Chang was an ideal candidate to become Zhang Wei's avatar. He had a powerful background, good future prospects, and most importantly, exceptional talent. Zhang Wei decided to use the same plan he had for Qin Tian on Prince Chang, and since Prince Chang was Madam Chi's nephew, he could use her to plant the soul seed in Prince Chang's soul.

Zhang Wei knew that he could not afford to miss this opportunity to make Prince Chang his avatar. In a month, would be leaving for the immortal world, and he might not have another chance like this for many years. If he succeeded in making Prince Chang his avatar, he would have another pawn in his hand and access to the imperial harem.

With all these plans in mind, Zhang Wei devotedly started creating the soul seed. As the night fell, he finished creating two soul seeds. He ended today's cultivation and lay on the bed, waiting for Madam Chi to return to continue their future plans.
