The improved female villains regained their memories.

The sky was still overcast, and people hurried to and fro on the streets, the endless stream of people making him feel suffocated in the vast wilderness.

He looked over and saw the woman waving at him from a distance.

"Hey, Ping Sheng!"

The scene suddenly changed, and Yang Pingsheng woke up with a start, only to find himself still in the Goddess Palace.

The system's voice sounded again: "I've dispelled your pain. How come you can still feel anything?"

"..."

Indeed, he could no longer feel pain.

Although he still couldn't move his arms and had lost control of most parts of his body, at least he was no longer in pain, and he no longer had to waver between consciousness and unconsciousness.

"..."

He tried to speak, but found he couldn't control the force of his mouth; he could only move his lips. However, considering that the system should be able to hear him, he still tried his best to say, "Where is Lin Wanjun?"

“She’s fine. Song Panning was just trying to scare you. She didn’t do anything to her.”

The system didn't dare mention the two switching places, but simply followed Yang Pingsheng's words and replied, "You did a good job, Lin Wanjun is fine."

"...Song Panning, did you go and contact the female villain from the previous round?"

"No, she couldn't find the location. Don't worry, none of that happened."

There was no massacre, no bloodshed, and no one died.

Yang Pingsheng breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "Okay, what's next?"

"The mission is almost complete. Just like I told you before I fell asleep, as long as Song Panning imprisons you, we can leave soon."

The system said, "Now that she has imprisoned you, we can fake our death, just like before."

"..."

Yang Pingsheng breathed softly, feeling the air enter his throat and lungs. The area around the Goddess Palace was very quiet. He looked up and asked, "Aren't... there restrictions anymore?"

The words were simple, but the system understood Yang Pingsheng's meaning.

It's a death escape, but the prerequisite is that the female villains must all be under restrictions.

Aside from the fourth life in which their memories were altered, in the previous three lives, Wen Shihan collapsed, Luo Benmo forgot, and Xu Anlu (who was Xu Anyin in Yang Pingsheng's perspective at this time) defected. As the emotional bond in their hearts, Yang Pingsheng would indeed collapse once he left.

But this life is different.

Yang Pingsheng sensed that Song Panning didn't love him much. As he alternated between being conscious and unconscious, he kept reflecting and analyzing, and could only come to two conclusions.

Either this person is not Song Panning at all, or Song Panning's previous displays of controlling nature were all an act.

Considering the probing at the mountaintop, Yang Pingsheng was not optimistic; on the contrary, he felt that the other party might have guessed something.

After all, she is a cunning and treacherous messenger skilled in disguise!

Chapter 270 The human heart is ever-changing, but the most important thing is unwillingness to accept defeat!

"Don't worry, Pingsheng, your mission is almost complete."

The system silently calculated the time, sensing that the female villain was almost there, and then began to separate Yang Pingsheng from his body.

"This is perfect, let you bleed to death. Pingsheng, it's time for us to go."

"...Is that so?"

Since the system had said so, Yang Pingsheng didn't bother to think about it anymore. The time he spent as "husband and wife" with Song Panning was the most challenging time for him, even surpassing the total of his previous four lives.

He sighed softly, and the scene before him blurred once more.

"My life..."

crunch--

A distant call, and a ray of sunlight shines in.

The darkness was pierced, and the person, illuminated by light and shadow, was running towards him.

"My whole life!!!"

Yang Pingsheng heavily lifted his eyelids.

He recognized the person; it was Lin Wanjun. She must have managed to escape from prison and was now running towards him.

But for some reason, under the sunlight, her figure gradually transformed into Song Panning.

Yang Pingsheng's eyes widened: "Pan Ning..."

"My whole life!!"

The man was calling out desperately.

Yang Pingsheng stared blankly.

That's Lin Wanjun.

But under the sunlight, she transformed into Song Panning.

The dungeon's array shattered with a loud bang.

After years of practice, Song Panning finally figured out the formation's operating trajectory and broke it. The guards had just come down to check when they were blasted to the ground by the broken formation's spiritual energy. Before they could react, Song Panning drew her sword and killed them.

Blood dripped down, and the shattered spiritual energy array crumbled into fragments that surged into Song Panning's body. Panting heavily, she dragged her sword and fought her way out of the dungeon.

boom!

The dungeon door was blasted open, and as soon as Song Panning came out, she hurriedly rushed to the Goddess Hall.

This scene was witnessed by Lin Wanjun and her entourage.

These were all once Song Panning's attendants, but now that they've changed places, they've naturally become Lin Wanjun's attendants.

This included Leng Yan, who stepped forward and asked, "Miss, Lin Wanjun has escaped, should we...?"

"No rush," Lin Wanjun replied leisurely.

She had long anticipated this day.

Song Panning's array formation skills were not low, and extracting spiritual energy from the operating array was a normal operation. What surprised her was that Song Panning disregarded the poison in her body and forcibly changed her body with spiritual energy to gain combat power.

"Doing this will shorten your lifespan. Has this guy gone mad for love?" Lin Wanjun clicked her tongue in amazement. "Love..."

She did it intentionally, constantly showing Song Panning images of Yang Pingsheng being tortured, all to wait for this day.

Watching my beloved die before my eyes—that's who I was back then. You looked down on me from your high position, killing everyone. Did you ever imagine this day would come?

I feel powerless and cowardly.

All the important people died unjustly.

Today, Lin Wanjun will let Song Panning experience her feelings.

This is revenge.

"Come on, gentlemen, let's watch this good show."

Lin Wanjun chuckled and followed at a leisurely pace with her entourage.

puff.

The guard's eyes widened as his heart was violently shattered by the spiritual energy surrounding the sword. He then collapsed to the ground. Song Panning drew her sword and stepped onto the steps leading to the Goddess's Palace.

Under the blazing sunlight, the blood-soaked steps formed a dazzling path of light.

"My whole life, my whole life."

She chanted, her eyes filled with despair and obsession, as she climbed upwards step by step.

crunch--

After killing the last guard, Song Panning threw away her sword and pushed open the door.

Light surged into the darkness, and the man was hanging on the wall not far away, his brown bloodstains stained gold by the light.

"My life..."

The heart is beating.

She pressed her hand to her chest and shouted with all her might, "Ping Sheng!!"

Then, she ran towards him.

A chill spread through my body, the wind howled outside, dispelling the gloom, and tears streamed down my face, each drop dissipating into the air.

It was as if time had stopped; the surrounding silence was terrifying. She could no longer see anything but that figure.

My life...

My life... my life...

"In life, can there be love between a goddess and her follower?"

In the past, Song Panning had asked Yang Pingsheng this question.

Love is a mysterious word. It can drive the rational to madness, the mad to depravity, the depraved to strive for self-improvement, and the egoist to sacrifice their life. It has an incredible magic, being both a sweet fruit and a deadly poison.

The followers are the goddess's followers, and the goddess is everything to the followers. In theory, she is the followers' supreme faith, and the one for whom the followers must die.

Is that love?

Is it love that followers die for a goddess?

Can love develop between two people?

"Followers and goddesses...maybe."

Yang Pingsheng answered absentmindedly at the time, but after Song Panning became unhappy, he became a little more serious, thought carefully, and added to his answer.

"If someone is willing to die for another, then that's love, so I guess it is..."

Yes, I think so...

Song Panning pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "If I become a goddess in the future, you will become my follower."

She smiled and said, "I won't let you die."
