Swallowed Star: The Mentor and Helpful Friend of Reborn Villains

When Li Zhou transmigrated into the world of Swallowed Star, he discovered that the universe had undergone an unprecedented shift. Countless powerful beings, including ancient demon ancestors and the Flame Emperor, have been reborn at this critical juncture in time. Accompanying Li Zhou is a unique system that allows him to plunder the hard-earned achievements of these reborn villains and receive them as multiplied rewards for himself. However, after being harvested repeatedly, many of these reincarnated antagonists have lost their ambition and decided to simply lie flat. Refusing to let his resources slack off, Li Zhou adopts a dual strategy of secret persecution and overt encouragement to reignite their drive for success. He insists his actions are purely selfish, yet the reborn villains inexplicably begin to view him as a trusted brother and revered teacher. From enemy demon lords offering to become his mounts to the Zerg Queen and innate beast gods showering him with treasures and loyalty, Li Zhou finds himself accidentally becoming the most beloved mentor in a universe filled with former enemies. In this story, rebirth is not an excuse for laziness, and even villains must strive for greatness under the guidance of their unlikely benefactor.
