The improved female villains regained their memories.

"Let's speed things up."

"it is good."

By the time they arrived, the tragedy had already occurred.

The woman's head hung from a tree, her face filled with terror. Blood splattered across several large trees, telling the story of what happened there.

Ling Tianxin covered her mouth in disbelief. The Demon King watched coldly, a hint of anger flickering in his eyes.

Can you provide your sister's exact location?

"Please wait."

Ling Tianxin closed her eyes and began to deduce the problem, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Demon King immediately released his spiritual energy and fed Ling Tianxin with elixirs. Then, he picked up Ling Tianxin and said in a rare gentle tone, "You've worked hard."

Then, he looked up at Nine Heavens City and saw a fierce glint in his eyes.

Above the Nine Heavens City, dark clouds gathered and lightning tribulations converged, with a figure flickering among them, appearing and disappearing.

Chapter 247 The Swapped Fates

"call……"

The Demon King exhaled a deep breath, and purple energy rose into the sky, helping him break through layers of blockade and arrive beside the figure.

"Heavenly Jealousy, you've set up an array that envelops the entire Nine Heavens City, and you've also unleashed a destructive immortal-level killing move. What are you trying to do?"

The figure reacted and emerged from the dark clouds. It was Ling Tiandu. She was expressionless, with blood splattered on her face. When she saw the Demon King, a sickly smile appeared on her face.

"Master, you've arrived."

Holding the crippled and unconscious Yi Changcun, she chuckled softly, her gaze towards the Demon King filled with ruthlessness: "So, you've come here to stop me too?"

"What?" The Demon King didn't react.

“Stop me…” Ling Tiandu tightened her grip on Yi Changcun and said, “Stop me from being with my lover.”

The Demon King frowned, scrutinizing Ling Tiandu and the man in her arms. He immediately understood what had happened, and his tone turned stern: "This is utterly absurd! Ling Tiandu, do you know what you're doing? You are a genius, and everyone has gone to great lengths to help you, hoping you would repent. But after running away, you've become even more depraved, and now you're even obsessed with a man. Look at yourself! What kind of person are you? You're hardly someone who will save the world in the future!?"

"Saving the common people? Heh..." Ling Tiandu sneered, "Why should I be the one to save the common people? Is it because of my talent, or because of the protagonist you keep talking about, Master? From childhood to adulthood, you've forced me to practice deduction and constantly instilled in me a sense of mission and responsibility, but in the end, what does all of this have to do with me? I just want to be with the people I love, I just want to live freely, that's all I want, I don't want to save any damn damn common people!"

"Ling Tian is jealous!" The Demon King roared in fury. "Your current thoughts are simply outrageous! Do you think your talent, your comprehension, and even your life are all your own? Wrong, they are given to you by Heaven. You bear extremely high talent and naturally have great responsibilities. You only want to enjoy the benefits and don't want to bear the obligations. Do you think there are such good things in this world?"

Ling Tiandu laughed loudly, her hair disheveled, and roared like a madwoman, "I told you, it's none of my business! I will never go back with you, and I will never surrender! In short, I won't let you lock me up in that damned cave. I want to leave with the person I love and live the life I want! If you dare to stop me, I will activate my killing move and formation and kill everyone in this city! I want to see if you, Master, are as righteous as you claim, willing to abandon the lives of everyone in the city!"

"you!!!"

The Demon King was truly enraged. He stretched out his hand, almost trembling, and said, "You are utterly lawless! Your parents are in this city too. Are you going to unleash your killing move without even considering your parents?"

"Anyway, parents want their children to be happy, right? Hehe, as long as I'm happy, that's enough. I believe my parents will understand me."

"Ling Tiandu, you're a madman!"

The Demon King, having reached his limit, immediately took action.

Even a celestial being, no matter how gifted, cannot withstand the full force of a true immortal's attack. She is not even a threat. The enraged demon king directly shattered her formation and killing move, rendering her powerless to fight.

In the Dark Domain Prison of the Heavenly Guardian Sect, Ling Tiandu was covered in wounds and firmly bound by iron chains in the deepest part.

Ling Tianxin stood there in the shadows.

"How terrifying is human will! Just a little bit of human will can turn my sister into this."

"Humanity is driven by greed and selfishness. The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more and give to those who have less; the way of man is to take from those who have less and give to those who have more. Even if my talent is taken away, so what? As long as human will is slightly amplified, my sister will be like a completely different person."

Ling Tianxin recalled her travels. After finding the Lianshan Yi, she quickly arrived at the second secret realm, where the Guicang Yi was kept.

The same setup, the same sphere of light, only this time it contained a vast amount of human intentions.

She extracted some and secretly used it on her own sister, never expecting such miraculous results.

"I couldn't crack the light sphere; I could only extract a little bit of power from it. I really don't know what the master who set it up was thinking. He had control over the will of heaven and the will of man, and creating protagonists and villains was a piece of cake for him."

Cold sweat was breaking out on Ling Tianxin's body.

A struggle spanning a thousand years? She no longer thinks so. The waters here are too deep; even she can't fathom them.

"However, I am quite clear about what I need to do now."

Looking at Ling Tiandu, Ling Tianxin secretly made up her mind and walked out.

"Sister," she called out.

Ling Tiandu reacted, looked up at his sister in front of him, and sneered: "It's you, you sickly girl. What are you doing here?"

"Sister, you should bow down and admit your mistake to Master, otherwise he will kill you."

“I will not bow down to him,” Ling Tiandu sneered. “He will not kill me either, I know, because I am the protagonist, and for the sake of his damn responsibility, he will never kill me.”

“No, sister, you’re wrong.” Ling Tianxin shook her head. “You’re no longer the main character.”

Ling Tiandu's pupils contracted sharply, a bad premonition spreading through her: "What did you say..."

"Haven't you noticed yet? Fate has already shifted."

Ling Tianxin took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and looked at her coldly, saying:

"Now, I am the main character."

Ling Tiandu stared blankly.

The most powerful function of the method of deduction, besides deducing the fixed fate and destiny of all things, lies in its ability to modify them. Ling Tiandu is right; although all things have a fixed fate, this fate only determines the vital energy bestowed by one's parents. Everything else can be changed, including destiny.

An alternative Heavenly Dao, infused with countless sages, will favor the children of humanity, the chosen ones—the protagonists. Everyone has a destiny, and the protagonist's destiny is to resist the villains and protect the Heavenly Dao.

However, Ling Tianxin changed all of that.

Ling Tiandu trembled. She understood everything. Her eyes were bulging with tears, blood trickling from the corner of her bitten lip. She stared intently at Ling Tianxin: "It's you..."

“Don’t overthink it, sister.” Ling Tianxin sighed. “When you no longer care about our parents, you will no longer be my sister. Don’t worry, I will inherit everything from you: destiny, duty, and name. From now on, I am Ling Tiandu, and you, sister, will no longer have to bear any responsibility. You can go and live the life you want.”

"However, since you have wicked intentions, your master will destroy all your cultivation and make you an ordinary person. You can forget about cultivating immortality in this lifetime."

Ling Tianxin spoke each word carefully, each sentence like a sharp knife.

Ling Tiandu listened, first glaring angrily, then falling silent, and finally bursting into laughter. After laughing, she said with a sinister look, "Very good, Ling Tianxin, you are really good. Saying that you want me to be an ordinary person is less appropriate than saying that you are killing my spirit."

She closed her eyes, as if in deep meditation, and after a long while, she slowly said, "From childhood to adulthood, you have been inferior to me in every way. With your sickly appearance, what do you have to take on the mandate of heaven? How heavy is this thing? Can you bear it?"

"Look at me, now I've ended up like this." She opened her eyes again, looking at Ling Tianxin, but now she was calm, with a strange smile on her face. "Perhaps you think you're ahead of me in the study of the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao, but how do you know I don't have a backup plan?"

"If you have any backup plans, feel free to use them."

"What you want is nothing more than the will of man residing in my soul. Only that thing can be passed down through the protagonist. Sister, now that we've come this far, let's stop pretending. You are better than me in your research on the will of heaven and the will of man, but you are not as good as me in your understanding of the soul."

"What do you want to do?"

"You are most skilled in the art of deduction, and I presume you have already deduced that Heaven's will has condensed the greatest counterattack. In the future, ten villains will attack the Guardian Sect together, and you will be the biggest villain in the main world, as well as the tenth villain."

Ling Tianxin's pupils contracted, and her tone turned serious: "So you knew all along."

"Hahahaha, I am a genius, a prodigy, what do I not know?" Ling Tiandu laughed loudly. "But now, my dear sister, you have changed your destiny and transferred mine to you. Because you have inherited the protagonist's destiny, there will only be nine villains left in the future. But fate will not give up. In the main world, new villains will definitely be born."

A dazzling green light rose from Ling Tiandu's body, and at that very moment, a terrifying power broke through the seal, and nine different powers emerged from Ling Tiandu's body.

“The will of Heaven will find a new villain for the main world, so I cannot influence that, but I can influence the remaining nine.”

The forbidden aura spread, even resonating with the Great Dao. Ling Tianxin watched in horror as she saw that, in that instant, the fates of the nine villains were tightly linked with Ling Tiandu's.

"I gave my cultivation speed to the first villain."

"I bestow my extraordinary talent upon the second villain."

"I give the essence of my soul to the third villain."

"I'm giving my popularity and insight to the fourth villain."

"I have fully mastered my formation and bestowed it upon the fifth villain."

"I gave my weapon-forging inspiration to the sixth villain."

"I bestow my natural affinity upon the seventh villain."

"I bestow my Void-Controlling Talisman upon the eighth villain."

"As for the ninth one, he is too mysterious, and I have no way of knowing the specifics. So I give all my ambition, my anger, and my resentment to the ninth villain!"

The will of Heaven is manifesting itself in Ling Tiandu at this moment.

Ling Tianxin broke out in a cold sweat. In her calculations, the villains' future victories were growing exponentially. Ling Tiandu was actually sacrificing himself to communicate with the will of heaven and give everything he had to the nine villains.

The most direct impact of this is on gender. The nine villains of the future are still being conceived by fate. At this time, influenced by Ling Tiandu, they will all be female villains. More importantly, each of them will inherit some of Ling Tiandu's talents to some extent. The layers of protection of the Heavenly Guardian Sect, including but not limited to the world's will, the twelve guardians, and inter-world barriers, may not be able to stop these female villains.

With the help of Ling Tiandu in the dark, the tenth female villain was born, and the nine female villains were officially conceived.

Nine streams of light fell from the chaotic void, scattering into nine different worlds. Although the flow of time was different for each world, they would all be born there and, after experiencing a series of events, would converge in the main world to attack the Guardian Heaven Sect!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Ling Tiandu laughed loudly, her face contorted with rage, and said, "Fear it, tremble, my poor sister! You want my destiny, you want my name, then take them all! From now on, you are Ling Tiandu! I'll see how you stop the attack of the nine female villains who have been blessed by my talents!"

Boom!

The demon king, who was cultivating in the main hall, suddenly opened his eyes. He frowned slightly, flashed outside the hall, looked up, and saw that the sky above the world was filled with nine mixed colors.

Boom!

Another loud bang.

The "Heavenly Way," a mixture of countless sages, is trembling.

"Sister, sister, my dear sister, you must have deduced the definitions of the nine female villains by now. Look at their definitions, and they will tear you apart as you wish. Until then, be afraid."

"A ruthless climber will kill anyone who stands in her way!"

"The savior of evil will lead evil people to revel on the ruins of the Guardian Heaven Sect!"

"A two-faced emperor will bring unparalleled tyranny through the 'kingly way'!"

"Shameless people who prioritize profit will not hesitate to betray their race!"

"A cunning and treacherous messenger skilled in disguise will deliver the most unexpected blow!"

"An uncontrollable tyrannical ruler will wash the entire main world in blood!"
