The improved female villains regained their memories.

The saintess shook her head, her tone leaving no room for refusal: "Nüjiao, for the sake of my demon race's long-term plan, I have no choice but to..."

"But I am clearly a human..."

"Enough! We've discussed this topic countless times. Did those tribes consider us human? Did Shun consider us human?!"

The saintess suddenly flew into a rage.

She was originally such a gentle person, but now that she has been exposed, her seven-colored fox tail is revealed behind her, and the demonic aura inside the tent has greatly increased.

The girl was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground, her silver fox tail trembling along with her body.

Yang Pingsheng also lay down, but still used the True Mark of the Great Dao to observe the situation on the field.

The saintess suddenly sighed, as if a punctured balloon had deflated.

As the demonic aura gradually dissipated, she stood up, stepped forward to help the girl up, and said, "Nüjiao, I don't want to hear such words again."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Nüjiao knows she was wrong."

The girl immediately backed down.

"It's good that you know your mistake, but you must remember your identity. If you can't even recognize your own identity, you are destined to make a big mistake in the future," the saintess said again, with a warning in her voice.

She walked back to the main seat, and looking slightly tired, took out a pill and handed it to Nüjiao.

"Eat it, this is the Heart-Slaying Pill," the saintess said.

The young woman trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but due to the imposing presence, she could only swallow the medicine.

Yang Pingsheng frowned as he looked at it. It was true that the Great Dao True Mark could see through the essence, but the essence of everything before him was the past world created by the Blue World. It could make Yang Pingsheng understand that what he was seeing was an illusion, but it could not let him know what the effects of this pill were.

The saintess finally smiled after the beautiful woman in front of her took the medicine.

"Nüjiao." She placed her hand on Nüjiao's head and solemnly said, "The hopes of the entire Tushan clan and the long-term plans of the demon race are all entrusted to you alone."

The saintess's voice had barely faded when the scene before them changed once again.

---------------

The sound of the floodwaters roaring and crashing.

The water, carrying silt and sand, surged forth like a raging beast, its roar like a thousand thunderclaps exploding simultaneously, deafening, as if it were about to devour the entire world.

The cliffs on both sides of the river appeared particularly cold and solemn against the backdrop of the flood. The rocks on the cliffs trembled slightly from the impact of the flood, and the splashing water flew wildly on the cliff face, like countless white ghosts dancing wildly on the cliff.

The few tenacious saplings that originally grew on the cliff were now shaking violently under the combined onslaught of the gale and the flood, their branches and leaves torn to shreds, as if struggling in despair.

Yang Pingsheng came to his senses and found himself standing on the edge of a cliff, with a raging flood below, and Nujiao sighing beside him.

"Sigh, Xiao Gui, why did things turn out this way?"

The girl crouched there watching the flood, her ears and tail, like the saint's, completely hidden.

Yang Pingsheng looked at himself, and sure enough, his ears and tail were gone.

"Humans, demons... why must we distinguish between them so clearly? And what's this so-called grand plan for the demon race? I don't understand any of that stuff."

She glanced at Yang Pingsheng and said rather dejectedly, "Xiao Gui, I wish I were like you, completely clueless."

Yang Pingsheng blinked and chose to remain silent.

The flood before him and the name of the Tushan clan had already made him aware of which era this was, but Yang Pingsheng had only heard about what exactly happened in this era.

"Sigh, it's been so many days, when will they finally come here?" Nüjiao sighed again.

In the language of the fox demon clan, "they" specifically refers to the human race. In other words, Nüjiao and he concealed their identities and waited here for several days in order to wait for a group of humans.

Along the flood, Yang Pingsheng could roughly guess who the humans waiting were, even without them saying it.

'Yu the Great...'

Yang Pingsheng was somewhat moved.

From the moment he began to possess the Sword Soul Heart, Yang Pingsheng had an unseen connection with Yu the Great, who was the first owner of the Sword Soul Heart and also one of the many sages of the human race.

The main world records that period of history mostly as legends (see Chapter 294). Tian Bulian told Su Murong and Mu Xiaobai about the Battle of Tianren Mountain, and Yang Pingsheng also learned about the story from Su Murong later.

He knew that Tu Shan Nu Jiao was the wife of Yu the Great. In that story, Yu the Great was appointed by Emperor Yao to replace his father in controlling the floods. That was why he went to Tianren Mountain to find the Sword Soul Heart. Moreover, before searching for the Sword Soul Heart, he had already married Tu Shan Nu Jiao.

From the current perspective, Emperor Yao is dead, and the current leader of the human race is Shun. Yu the Great has also begun to control the floods, but Nüjiao does not yet know Yu the Great.

Of course, the strangest thing is that Tu Shan's daughter, Jiao, is actually a beastman.

Both the timeline and the actual situation clearly deviate from that story. Did someone delete or alter the story to conceal the truth, or is there simply a problem with the transmission of the story?

As one of the three chosen ones, Tian Bulian is supported by the ancient sages of the human race. Logically speaking, the stories of these sages she knows should be accurate.

Or perhaps the ancient sages of humanity didn't tell her the truth either?

"Based on the information gathered, the demon race and the human race are still at odds. The Tushan clan clearly leans towards the demon race, and the fact that Nüjiao married Yu the Great was obviously orchestrated by the Tushan clan's holy maiden. The reason I'm waiting here with her is clearly to meet Yu the Great."

'Could it be that the Tushan clan intended to use emotions to control Yu the Great, much like using human chess pieces to control villains?'

Yang Pingsheng frowned.

But he thought it was unlikely.

Firstly, Yu the Great is not a villain and would not possess the extreme and deeply ingrained emotions of a villain; secondly, the Tushan clan are beastmen and clearly do not have the means to control human will; thirdly, the Tushan clan's holy maiden clearly harbors hatred towards the human race, and what she most likely wants is not to restrain them, but to annihilate them.

In her words, besides the Tushan clan, there was also the so-called demon clan's grand plan spanning tens of millions of years.

Yang Pingsheng was a latecomer, and he certainly knew who history ultimately favored, but favoritism did not mean smooth sailing. Everything he saw before him gave him a bad feeling.

He pondered quietly, trying to find some clues, but there was too little information for him to figure it out at the moment.

Just then, there was a sudden movement in the bushes next to me. It seemed that someone had been inside all along and couldn't stand it any longer before they noticed the noise.

The girl immediately covered her mouth and looked at Yang Pingsheng in a panic. She had obviously realized that she had just unconsciously talked to herself.

"Who's there? Come out!"

The grass rustled even more violently, like a person's body trembling.

The girl didn't know what to do and looked at Yang Pingsheng with pleading eyes.

But Yang Pingsheng remained unmoved. His persona was that of a fool, and besides, these were just fragments of the past. No matter what he did, it wouldn't affect the overall trend.

He decided to remain inactive.

Seeing that Yang Pingsheng remained silent, the woman could only muster her courage and say fiercely, "Come out quickly, or I won't be polite!"

A girl walked out from inside.

She carried a small basket on her back containing several medicinal herbs. She was limping, as if she were injured and bleeding.

The girl was young, and when she saw the fierce look on the girl's face, she immediately sniffled and her eyes filled with tears.

"Oh dear, you're injured."

Seeing the girl injured, Nüjiao was startled and quickly went over to check the wound: "Which tribe are you from? How did you end up here?"

She subconsciously raised her hand, seemingly wanting to use her demonic energy to heal the girl's wounds, but she forcibly restrained herself.

Fortunately, although Nüjiao was naive, she wasn't foolish enough to expose her demonic aura. Yang Pingsheng, who witnessed the whole thing from behind, thought that although the child had heard Nüjiao's self-talk, there was nothing wrong with it, but if she went back and told the adults, they might become suspicious.

What will that woman do? Will she kill him to silence him?

Yang Pingsheng thought for a moment and looked at Nüjiao.

But she didn't seem to mean that; she kept checking the girl's body and, seeing that she was indeed fine, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, child, don't cry." Nujiao stroked the girl's head. "I was just trying to scare you. Which tribe are you from? Are you far from here? I'll take you back."

The girl sniffled and said in a tearful voice, "I, my name is Xiao Yi, and I came with the flood control team."

Yang Pingsheng's eyes lit up when he saw the flood control team. So, Yu the Great was nearby.

Seeing the former human heroes, even Yang Pingsheng, now fills him with a sense of unease.

Nüjiao seemed unaware of the question. She blinked and asked, "The flood control team... was Yu the Great among them?"

Ok?

Yang Pingsheng stared at Nü Jiao, somewhat bewildered. "You just asked me that directly?"

Whether she was truly unafraid or had ulterior motives, her blatant questioning and addressing Yu the Great by his name showed no respect whatsoever. If this little girl were to tell the adults the truth when she returned, Nüjiao's identity would surely be questioned.

He couldn't figure out what Nüjiao was thinking, and just as he was pondering this, the girl replied.

"Great... Yu?" The little girl blinked blankly.

"Huh? Isn't he here?" The girl was clearly disappointed.

"I...I've never heard of this person."

"Really."

One dares to speak, and the other dares to believe.

It's normal for a young girl not to know the name of the leader in charge of flood control, but what's wrong with you, Nvjiao?

Yang Pingsheng became increasingly puzzled by Tushan's scheme. With Nüjiao's dazed and foolish appearance, could they really carry out their so-called plan smoothly?

Or is Nüjiao's current appearance also an act?

Chapter 737 Starting Over

The scene suddenly changed again.

The blue faded, and the scene before my eyes reappeared.

Before them stretched a vast expanse of water, the roar of which echoed endlessly. On the high slope, many ragged people were gathered.

The makeshift houses were scattered everywhere, and people carrying tools could be seen everywhere. Yang Pingsheng looked at himself and found that he had turned into a little girl.

Herbs were packed on his back, and he had injuries on his legs.

"Am I that little girl now?" He frowned.

Looking at the scene before him, he felt as if he had arrived at the gathering place of the flood control team.

'How could this happen? Where are Nüjiao and Xiaogui?'

Since entering the Blue World, Yang Pingsheng had been guessing who the owner of that voice was. He originally thought it was related to Nüjiao, but this change made him suspicious.

'Hey, I can talk and move now.'
