The improved female villains regained their memories.

As usual, he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

"My life."

However, a voice roused him.

"Yang Pingsheng!"

He opened his eyes and found himself in a pure white space. A ball of light floated in front of him, swaying from side to side, and said in a slightly urgent tone:

Hey, can you hear me?

"I can hear you." Yang Pingsheng nodded, looked around, and asked, "What is this...?"

"This is your consciousness space. A new plan is about to begin, and I need to communicate with you in person. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, I have no choice but to bring you in as well." The system said, letting out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness it succeeded, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."

"Why do you do this?" Yang Pingsheng asked curiously. "Even though someone is watching me and I can't communicate with you, I can still hear what you say."

"..."

"What's wrong?" Yang Pingsheng asked, looking at the suddenly silent ball of light. "Didn't you just send me to carry out the plan tonight?"

The sphere of light fell even more silent.

Its silence was to conceal the shock in its heart, because the plan had come to an end after Yang Pingsheng started the experiment, and it hadn't spoken to Yang Pingsheng for a long time.

Even when it tried to speak, Yang Pingsheng ignored it. Yang Pingsheng's behavior during this period also made it feel strange. It knew Yang Pingsheng too well. These were not things he would do, but he did them anyway. When asked, he ignored it. It even thought that Yang Pingsheng did not want to talk to it.

So what's going on here?

Is someone impersonating it?

Is she a female villain? Has she become aware of her own existence?

The system unconsciously sensed terror. It suddenly understood why it had been instructed to bring Yang Pingsheng into its consciousness for a conversation tonight. Someone was impersonating it, giving instructions to Yang Pingsheng, and even it hadn't noticed.

The thought was chilling. After a long silence, the system finally spoke, "You've been doing well these past few days, haven't you?"

"?"

Yang Pingsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"What plans did I ask you to make these past few days? I can't quite remember."

Yang Pingsheng repeated it, and the system remained even more silent. After a long while, it finally spoke slowly:

"I need to accumulate a lot of energy to jump to the next world, so I will tell you the final task, including the points to pay attention to. After you finish, just wait for me honestly. You don't need to do anything extra. After I absorb the energy, I will pull you into the consciousness space, and then we can talk."

Having lived through four lifetimes, Yang Pingsheng was quite familiar with the system. He could see the abnormality in the system, so he asked, "Is something wrong?"

"It's alright, don't worry, everything is under the control of Heaven." The system said with a grin, reverting to its old self. "Alright, now I'll give you the final plan. After you complete it, we can leave!"

"Row."

It's quite a long plan.

After Yang Pingsheng had memorized all the details and points to note, the system said, "Insufficient energy, I need to shut down. That's all for now. Do you have any more questions?"

"No."

The final plan was quite long, unlike the previous segmented approach. It looked like several segments had been crammed together. Yang Pingsheng wanted to ask, but thinking that the system had its reasons and that asking would lead to an inescapable net of justice, he decided not to bother.

"Go, go, go! Once we finish, we'll jump to another world. As long as you complete the last four worlds, wealth, longevity, and a wonderful life await you!"

"..."

For some reason, Yang Pingsheng couldn't get excited at all when he heard the system say that.

Perhaps because he had experienced so much, he had become much more detached from his first life.

The pure white world shattered, the system orb disappeared, and everything returned to darkness. Yang Pingsheng fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, in the Goddess Palace.

Layer upon layer of formations surrounded Song Panning. She sat upright in a high chair, opened her eyes, and her eyes shone with boundless light.

"……Um?"

Disappeared.

She had already set up numerous arrays throughout the entire temple, and she could sense that the strangeness within Yang Pingsheng's body had disappeared.

"You've broken away? Or did you use some other method to lie low?"

She tapped the armrest of the chair, her face calm, like a bottomless lake.

Chapter 250 The First Round of Confrontation

Yang Pingsheng is an extraterrestrial being who came to this world with the ultimate goal of changing her.

Song Panning sat in the chair, her deep eyes revealing contemplation. She was still the same as always, fond of deep thought.

Darkness enveloped the main hall; the empty space was invaded by darkness, like an abyss.

The spiritual energy flowed in the air like rivers, and at the end of these rivers was Song Panning, who was sitting in her seat.

Wherever the array was, it couldn't escape her eyes. During her investigation, Yang Pingsheng was already fast asleep, and the strangeness in his body had indeed disappeared.

"Layout..."

She pondered for a moment, then used the secret method again, and soon obtained the answer.

She looked at the answer, letting the darkness envelop her, remaining silent as before.

------

Without the system, Yang Pingsheng had to get through the rest of the time on his own.

There used to be a sound, but now, even that sound is gone.

A strange feeling spread through Yang Pingsheng's mind, but he didn't pay attention to it. After all, he was a person at the Earth Immortal level, so completing the system's tasks was not difficult for him.

He also understood why the system had given him strength in this life; without this strength, he really wouldn't have been able to complete these final tasks.

"My life."

However, before he could even mentally rehearse it, Song Panning approached him the next day.

"I heard there's a shooting star tonight, shall we go see it together?"

Watching shooting stars?

This matter wasn't mentioned in the system's instructions, so there was no harm in going to see it. Plus, with the hopeful light in Song Panning's eyes, Yang Pingsheng didn't refuse.

Seeing that Yang Pingsheng had agreed, Song Panning was even happier. She decided not to go out today and simply stayed by Yang Pingsheng's side.

Ok……

Yang Pingsheng felt that something was off, but he didn't say anything.

That evening, after dinner, Leng Yan appeared. She came over without saying a word to clear the table. Normally, Song Panning would do these things herself, but perhaps because they had made plans to watch shooting stars today, Song Panning pulled Yang Pingsheng out as soon as she finished eating, leaving these tasks to Leng Yan.

"Pingsheng, it's cold outside, please wear more clothes."

Song Panning draped her trench coat over Yang Pingsheng, wrapping him up tightly, giving him no chance to refuse.

"it is good."

"Let's go."

Ding-dong~

The clear sound of bells rang out, and Yang Pingsheng looked closely and noticed that Song Panning had bells tied to her clothes.

The bells jingled crisply, their sound particularly melodious in the night, drawing attention instinctively.

The two walked up the mountain path, and before long, light snow began to fall. Song Panning held Yang Pingsheng's hand, and from her initial eagerness, she gradually slowed her pace until she leaned against him.

Yang Pingsheng was puzzled and could only let her do as she pleased.

The deeper they went, the fewer lights there were, and darkness enveloped them. Only Song Panning, who was leading the way, emitted a faint light. Yang Pingsheng sensed something was wrong and asked, "Panning, where are we going?"

"Watching shooting stars."

Where should we go to see it?

"The mountaintop."

The mountaintop of the mountain city, that legendary forbidden place.

The cold wind, carrying snow, blew from high above. The sky was completely dark, with only the starlight overhead illuminating the road ahead. When Song Panning spoke those words, the light she used to illuminate the path changed color, casting a deep yellow hue on the snow.

The bell rang crisply, and before Yang Pingsheng could react, he was transported to a dreamlike world.

As he stepped onto the last step, the view opened up before him, and the howling wind and snow reached Yang Pingsheng's ears. Before he could react, Song Panning had already led him through an abandoned courtyard and straight to the edge of a cliff.

Where the courtyard meets the cliff, there stands a withered peach tree. It has been dead for a long time, and frost and snow weigh down its branches, as if trying to destroy it completely. But it is not destroyed; a force supports it, and it still stands here.

Panning, what's going on here?

Yang Pingsheng asked, but Song Panning did not answer. She let go of his hand, put her hands behind her back, and walked step by step toward the edge of the cliff.

"Throughout my life, you and I have been childhood sweethearts, growing up together since we were little. Now, I am a goddess, and you are my follower. They all say that the mountaintop is the closest place to the Heavenly Dao..."

As she spoke, she turned around and took a step back, leaving the inspiration behind and letting the darkness engulf her.

"I swear to God, do you love Lin Wanjun?"

An unexpected question.

Yang Pingsheng never expected that Song Panning would be so secretive, talking about watching shooting stars and dragging him to the mountaintop, only to ask him this one question in the end.

"I……"

Don't rush to answer.

Song Panning spoke in the darkness, seemingly laughing.

In the darkness, the clear sound of a bell rang out, carrying a unique magic. The light in Yang Pingsheng's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head, his body trembling unconsciously.

A sharp wind blew across the mountaintop. Although it was dark, the scene before him began to slowly imprint itself on Yang Pingsheng's mind. He looked up at Song Panning. The faint light shone on her face, and her eyes were clear and calm, without a trace of emotion.

"Pingsheng, do you like Lin Wanjun?"

"I……"

An array, some kind of array has been activated.
