60 year's in seclution: investing in villains to become invincible

Icarus_fall
In the boundless Shenzhou Continent, where cultivators ascend through realms of power and holy lands stand eternal, Chu Xun transmigrates into the role of a forgotten elder guarding the Sutra Pavilion of Donglin Holy Land. Once a peerless genius shattered by defeat, he now awakens a unique Investment System that thrives on one peculiar rule: investments can only be made in destined villains, those fated to become stepping stones for heaven's protagonists. Far from despairing, Chu Xun embraces this twist of fate, content in his serene life amid ancient tomes that radiate divine light. By devouring scriptures, he earns realm-breaking pills, life deductions that unveil hidden destinies, and opportunities to alter the paths of villains like the proud Senior Brother Jiang Chen, whose simulated downfall at the hands of a rising protagonist ignites a vengeful fire within him. As Chu Xun's cultivation surges from the Venerable Realm to Human Emperor and beyond, mastering the surging Great River Sword Intent and forging a sword river that inspires the sect, whispers of his hidden power draw intruders and intrigue to the pavilion's tranquil halls. Fending off thieves with effortless might and navigating the undercurrents of sect politics, including the unspoken admiration of Sect Master Xiao Rongyu, Chu Xun flips the script of destiny. Why chase bloody glory when quiet investment yields invincible returns? Watch as villains rise under his guidance, protagonists falter, and an unassuming elder becomes the unseen architect of chaos. "Guarding the Sutra Pavilion: Investing in Destiny's Villains" is a captivating saga of low-key dominance, fateful interventions, and the sweet rewards of mentoring the doomed to defy their stars.

Instead, the God who sent me here tossed me into what he calls the “H-World.” I woke up as a high school boy. After two lifetimes surrounded by men, I am now surrounded by giggling teenage girls.
