The improved female villains regained their memories.

He pulled out the essence from the void in his heart, and the essence transformed back into that figure.

Zhou Jinyu.

The tactic of deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea was not only used by Ye Buxin, but also by Yang Pingsheng.

They gazed at each other for a long time, understanding each other's meaning without needing to say a word. They knew each other too well, regardless of their status.

Yang Pingsheng said, "I should send you on your way. You must go to the new world with them."

“As you know, Ye Buxin’s essence is fused with mine. If you release me, sooner or later Ye Buxin will seize my consciousness and rise from the ashes.”

“That is indeed very troublesome.” Yang Pingsheng nodded. “So are you willing to be a cornerstone with me?”

“Yes, I’m willing to do anything you say,” Zhou Jinyu said.

Yang Pingsheng knew she would answer like that, but when he heard it with his own ears, the sorrow in his soul spread again.

“I’ve been waiting for you for so long,” she said, her second sentence.

The Heart of Emptiness remained unmoved, but its essence wept with sorrow. Yang Pingsheng looked into those eyes, those eyes that could only hold himself.

"Hmm?" Zhou Jinyu smiled.

"I really don't understand. You're crazy. You and him... and me, we didn't have any special experiences. Why are you like this... You're not the villain... Anyway, I don't understand." Yang Pingsheng tried to overcome his deep sadness and asked somewhat incoherently. Of all the people he had been through, Zhou Jinyu was the one he couldn't understand the most.

He thought she was truly insane. She was neither human nor a villain, nor a monster, yet she had chosen this path, living for others? This was truly the craziest statement in the world.

If she had told this to someone she could trust, it would have been fine, but instead, she ran into a monster who had fallen in love with a monster.

What did Yang Pingsheng rely on in the past? Now Yang Pingsheng thinks that the man craved affection, the most intense kind of affection, but first he encountered the monster who replaced the princess. He was also loyal, and frighteningly so, so he rejected his senior sister's affection.

Between husband and wife and soulmate, he chose the latter. Like Ye Buxin, he also longed for the most sublime emotion among humankind.

"Because I love you, that's all the reasons I can give in my life." Even now, Zhou Jinyu still answers in this way.

Yang Pingsheng couldn't understand. How could there be such love? It was impossible. There couldn't possibly be such love.

“I am not the Yang Pingsheng of the past. No matter what you say, I will not soften my heart. You are destined to become the cornerstone,” Yang Pingsheng said.

"Mmm!" she smiled happily.

"The foundation upon which the world rests, do you know what that means?"

"I don't want to know, as long as you're here."

Yang Pingsheng then realized that Zhou Jinyu was a monster just like Yang Pingsheng and Ye Buxin.

Let her do whatever she wants.

Yang Pingsheng took out Shi Guijia's magic weapon, which he had just seized from Shi Guijia during his attack. He crushed the magic weapon, grabbed the weakened Mu Xiaobai, took her spiritual root, and sent her essence into it.

"Hahahaha!" Yang Pingsheng laughed happily again. To create a new world, he needed pure Yang energy and pure Yin energy. But he was grateful to Ling Tiandu and Ye Buxin. Without them, how could he have obtained such pure Yin and Yang energies?

In the realm of rules, Wen Shihan, unable to move, sank completely, and the Yin energy spread out, enveloping all the villains.

"Creation has begun!"

"Yin and Yang energies... Oh no, it's Wen Shihan and Mu Xiaobai!"

"Is there any way to stop Ping Sheng!?"

The villains cried out in alarm, but there was nothing they could do to stop it.

Jiang Mochang looked at Song Panning, who nodded in agreement to her plan.

As the two energies spread, the light of creation reappeared.

The emptiness of the heart reveals itself, encompassing everything.

Yang Pingsheng embraced everything, feeling his body melting away.

But his eyes welled up with tears.

"I see it, I see the end of this road."

He was like a madman, neither crying nor laughing, chanting loudly:

"Year after year, colorful flags follow the autumn wind; the autumn wind and colorful flags are as they may be throughout my life."

Tonight, the autumn wind understands my heart, ruffling the Milky Way by tens of thousands of liters.

A fierce wind raged, and the yin and yang energies merged back into chaos.

Yang Pingsheng and Zhou Jinyu's bodies disappeared, turning into mountains and rivers.

Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu...

Change becomes one, and all things begin anew; hence, this is the record of the cultivation of the Way of Heaven.

Thus, a new world was born!

Chapter 791: Why would I have such a dream when everyone is getting along so well?

Wen Shihan was having another dream.

I dreamt of myself standing in the shadows, and that indifferent figure from behind.

The two blades clashed together, and in the resounding clang, the words "life's work" emerged.

She stared at the words on the blade, lost in thought.

What does "平生" mean?

Before she could even understand what was happening, she was plunged into darkness.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw was indeed complete darkness.

It was still dark.

She gasped for breath, drenched in sweat in the darkness.

She's had this dream since she was a child.

She has seen doctors many times, but each time the doctors can't find anything wrong. They just say that she is restless and that's why she has such dreams.

But the question is, why is she so restless?

In the darkness, she sat on the bed, reaching out to clutch her heart.

My heart was pounding; it jumped up and fell down heavily, as if conveying some emotion.

It was now the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), and she couldn't sleep. She got up, changed her clothes, washed up, and went out.

She is currently staying in the officials' dormitory. She has to attend the morning court session when it gets light. She heard that her colleague Luo Benmo has returned with the expedition team. There will definitely be a lot of things to deal with tomorrow. Logically speaking, she should rest more, but she just can't fall asleep.

This world is wonderful. People don't only care for their own relatives or children. Even an orphan like Wen Shihan can receive a normal education and become an official. King Xu Weibang of Qian Kingdom is a wise and virtuous ruler chosen by the people. He and his queen are loving, he cares for the people, and he is devoted to the country. The country has no external enemies or internal troubles. Even the demon race can live peacefully with the human race.

A prosperous and peaceful era, a time of happiness and tranquility for all—this is all there is to it.

But Wen Shihan was unhappy; a fire was burning inside her.

She left her room, walked along the dormitory path, and went all the way to the gate.

Just then, she bumped into Xu Anyin, who was returning from his night shift.

"Hey, Shihan, you're up so early?"

This form of address annoyed Wen Shihan. She didn't like being called that, but this person was also her colleague, sharing room number three with her sister Xu Anlu, making them her roommate.

"Hmm," she replied indifferently.

You don't look well. Are you not feeling well?

Wen Shihan is known to be a loner who doesn't like to interact with others and keeps everything to himself. This is not a good thing for Xu Anyin, who is like a little sun. She often talks about this with her sister, worried that Wen Shihan might hang himself in his room one day.

"It's nothing," Wen Shihan said. "It's almost dawn and I have to go to court. I just went out for some fresh air."

She disliked Xu Anlu and Xu Anyin. Although the two sisters were known for their good interpersonal relationships, she still disliked them, especially this sudden show of concern.

"Go to sleep," she said, her tone already showing impatience.

"Okay, if there's anything you need to say, you can tell me. Don't keep it to yourself."

Xu Anyin nodded, but a nameless anger also rose in her heart.

That inexplicable anger came out of nowhere, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

Stepping out of the dormitory, other areas such as the garden area, leisure area, and summer resort area are not open to the public at the moment, but it doesn't matter even if they are open. For Wen Shihan, there is only one place to go.

She kept walking out and sat down under a big tree outside the demon clan area. Leaves were fluttering down the tree, and something fell from above, landing right in her arms.

"Why are you here so early again? Did you have that dream again?"

That was a cat demon named Qi Feng. This cat demon was different from other demons because it had a master, Jiang Mochang, who was now an important official in the imperial court.

Wen Shihan and Jiang Mochang had a casual relationship, but she had a very good relationship with the cat demon that Jiang Mochang raised. The cat demon was also the only person that Wen Shihan could chat with for a while.

She reached out and touched Qi Feng's fur. The pungent, fishy smell unique to the demon territory wafted over her. The branches of the big tree stretched out in the mist, like a hanged corpse.

"Yes." She nodded gently. "It's still that dream."

“Dreams are a reflection of the mind and body.” Qi Feng licked her with his tongue. “Are you feeling unwell, or is something bothering you?”

"I do not know."

"Is someone bullying you?"

"No."

Are you feeling unwell?

No, not at all.

“Then I don’t know either.” Qi Feng sighed. “After all, you told me that you’ve had this dream since you were a child, and I really can’t think of any reason why.”

If even doctors can't find it, then this cat demon is even less likely to be found.

"Don't worry, it's nothing." Wen Shihan stroked its head: "Except for this dream, I'm perfectly healthy."

"Really?" Qi Feng tilted his head. "But I think you're in a lot of pain."

Yes, she is in a lot of pain.

But why do I feel so uncomfortable?

Her life was not difficult. Although she had no parents, she never went hungry or cold. Her colleagues cared about her, her superiors appreciated her, and Xu Weibang had met her many times and had high hopes for her.
