The improved female villains regained their memories.

Another clash ensued, and the remnant soul let out a miserable scream, dodging even faster.

Song Panning smiled without saying a word, looking at the remnant soul's appearance, and simply said, "I'm not as powerful as you think. As for your past life and all that, I don't understand at all."

She was blatantly lying through her teeth; even at this point, Song Panning was still pretending.

The remnant soul gave a bitter laugh and said, "Song Panning, why lie to me? If you don't have memories of your past life, how could you be so convinced of my arrival? You should know that we haven't even met in this life. You were born in the mountain city. Even if you have Song Qihao's arrangements, how would you know what a real visitor from outer space looks like?"

"I have to admire your courage. You clearly have memories, and you clearly know that there was no such person as Yang Pingsheng in your previous life, yet you still became his childhood sweetheart."

"There are many benefits to doing this."

"First, it made me lower my guard, so that while I was carrying out your plan, I also had many other thoughts. Because I was afraid that you would be infected by the other side and fail at the last moment, I didn't dare to let Lin Wanjun attack you too fiercely. In this way, you got a chance to catch your breath."

"Secondly, the entity behind Yang Pingsheng won't be suspicious, since you naturally became acquainted with Yang Pingsheng. In the process, you did indeed show the yandere obsession as it wished, so your threat level won't increase."

"Finally, and most importantly, you've placed yourself in the most conspicuous position. It seems like we're all hiding in the shadows, but actually, you're the one who's truly hiding in the shadows."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. In the game of power struggles, there is no place safer than being next to a human player."

"You have plenty of time to obtain the belongings left to you by Song Qihao, sort out the relationships among us, and wait for the situation to become clear before you come out to seize the final victory."

"But I don't understand, what methods did you use to guard against the world's will's surveillance?"

As the remnant soul fought back, it asked questions, but it truly couldn't understand the last one.

The core of the Mountain City Grand Array is indeed extraordinary. It was something that the main world lent to the temple controller to seal the female villain. It can be considered an item from another world. The world's will naturally cannot do anything about the array formed by it.

But that was a past life. With the timeline restarted, only consciousness returned. Song Panning, who had just been born, could not possibly escape the probing of the world's will.

unless--

The remnant soul realized something and was terrified: "Only consciousness returned, not the soul. Could it be that your acting skills as an infant were already so superb that you could even fool the world's will?"

Can a person really do that?

Is it really possible to fake everything, from one's appearance to one's inner self, even down to subconscious actions?

When Yang Pingsheng transmigrated, Song Panning was being monitored not only by the world's will but also by the system.

Taking Song Panning's definition into account, it dared not be careless and spent a lot of energy to construct a detection sphere, even to detect Song Panning's psychological activities.

Even so, the system ultimately failed to detect anything unusual about Song Panning.

All her actions, whether in appearance or in thought, even her speculations about Yang Pingsheng regarding Ling Shuxin, were within the system's expectations. The system had no idea that this person had been reborn.

Everything is normal.

The remnant soul, chillingly cold, cried out, "Song Panning, if you kill me now and break free, the world's will will definitely take notice of you. After all, according to the script and the normal course of events, you should be completely mindless and quietly suppressed by now. Devouring me will indeed strengthen your soul and allow you to break free from the seal, but how will you resist the world's will?"

With so many people monitoring Song Panning, she's bound to attract attention once she starts learning the Heaven-Slaying Formation.

Therefore, the remnant soul concluded that Song Panning did not yet possess anything capable of destroying the world's will.

However, Song Panning simply looked at it and said calmly, "First, even without you, I can still break free from the blockade that Lin Wanjun placed on me."

"Secondly, the world will you mentioned is gone."

The remnant soul froze, muttering, "What..."

It thought of the temple massacre, the death of the temple's controller, the will of Song Qihao that was placed there, and the murderer who has not yet been found.

I remember in my previous life, Song Qihao said that the body of the temple controller is the key to unlocking the origin of the world, and the switch is in the temple. As long as the corpse of the temple controller is used, the origin of the world can be drawn out.

And the temple massacre...

"That was it!" The remnant soul trembled violently, muttering to itself, "That was it, no wonder everyone died, even the guardian beast perished tragically, because of that time, in that place..."

A great battle once took place there!

Song Panning had long possessed methods to isolate and detect others, and she had even learned the Heaven-Slaying Formation at some point. However, she remained calm and killed the temple's controller that night, using its corpse to draw out the world's will and destroy it.

That night, no one noticed the remnant soul, Yang Pingsheng, the female protagonist, or even the system.

The system had already fallen into a deep sleep at that time. Even after it woke up, its focus was on the upheaval in the mountain city. Since it didn't really contact the world's will, it didn't realize that the world's will had already perished.

"But how is that possible? Even if you have a shielding formation, even if you have the Heaven-Slaying Formation, even if you can silently kill the world's will, you can't possibly kill so many people. Even a True Immortal can't kill so many people silently!"

No, of course there is a way.

The ultimate move of immortals—annihilation of three clans.

Originally a means for the temple's controllers to control various families, the killing move naturally fell into Song Qihao's hands after his will was seized.

Even if the temple's guards have high cultivation levels and large numbers, they are still descendants of those families and cannot escape the scope of the killing moves!

That night, whether Song Panning killed Song Qihao, or whether Song Qihao cooperated with Song Panning and willingly died after using the immortal killing move, no one can say for sure.

The remnant soul realized this and was so shocked that it couldn't speak.

Song Panning, the Best Actor, fooled everyone in the end.

He, the female protagonist, the human chess piece, the being behind the human chess piece, the will of the world...

If the male protagonist, Du Wanli, hadn't been absent, there would probably have been one more person who had been deceived.

"Song Qihao, Song Panning, hehehehe, it seems I've really messed up this time."

Having figured this out, the remnant soul stopped resisting and stopped there on its own, letting Song Panning grab it.

Consciousness space.

Song Panning stood on the cliff, looking at the garden array that was running in her hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

"In this way, the variable is completely resolved."

She dispelled the formation and silently recited in her mind:

"Judging by the time, it should be about time."

The darkness was torn apart, consciousness was liberated, and reality was finally returned.

Song Panning opened her eyes. The straitjacket was completely removed, and in the pitch-black dungeon, Leng Yan was standing in front of her.

Blood was everywhere, and she seemed to be injured as well, but that couldn't hide her excitement. In a trembling voice, she said, "Miss, welcome back."

"Ah."

Song Panning gave a faint "hmm" and stood up.

She stretched out her finger and casually made a stroke. The array that originally isolated spiritual energy actually changed its structure. In an instant, endless spiritual energy surged in and was absorbed into her body.

"The female lead's body, the toxins, hmm, all those requirements are met."

Song Panning nodded in satisfaction. At this point, her grand plan had reached this stage, and many goals had been achieved. Now, only the final step remained.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

With a cold smile, she stepped out of the dungeon and arrived directly above the Goddess Palace. With a light leap, she landed on the roof of the Goddess Palace, put her hands behind her back, and looked out over the entire mountain city.

The Goddess Palace, the temple, the mountain city—all were filled with shouts of battle, smoke and fire, and devastation.

With spiritual energy focused in her eyes, Song Panning saw that at the temple, Song Xingtian, who had previously been sickly, was now full of energy, killing those who blocked his way and taking charge of the overall situation.

With him as the high priest, no one dared to resist much, and the situation at the temple was quickly quelled.

"Miss, everything went smoothly, but Lin Wanjun took your body, I'm afraid your reputation..."

Seeing Song Panning standing there, Leng Yan felt a bit conflicted.

On the one hand, she sincerely admired and respected Song Panning; on the other hand, she felt it was a pity, since in the eyes of outsiders, the name Song Panning had become synonymous with tyrant.

"Reputation? It's just like this body, it's all mundane. Now that I've made up my mind to go to the main world, why would I care about these people's opinions?"

"Moreover, this body is perfect. In this way, I will no longer have the problem of blocked spiritual meridians. From now on, my Dance of the Goddess will be completely perfected."

Insidious, vicious, cunning, and despicable.

Having witnessed everything that happened, Leng Yan thought sincerely.

However, she felt neither disgust nor fear; instead, a sense of pride arose within her, because only such a person was worthy of her following.

Rumble!

Explosions rang out everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers throughout the mountain city.

In the distance, the setting sun was like blood, like a painting.

Song Panning was dressed in prison clothes, her black hair flowing in the wind, and her lovely and delicate face held a deep meaning that no one could fathom.

She looked up at the sky and the earth, and murmured:

"His earth-shattering brilliance surpasses even the heavens' clamor, making the heroes of old pale in comparison."

"If there truly is a path to heaven, dare I venture there?"

Chapter 274 Goddess and Followers

By the time Lin Wanjun received the news, the mountain town was already in chaos.

"Rebel? Who's rebelling? That's impossible."

Lin Wanjun, who had just received the news, was clearly not in a state of shock.

The heads of all the major families were around her, even the head of the Leng family was there. Leng Yan's loyalty to her goes without saying. It was even more impossible for Song Panning to be suppressed in the deepest part of the dungeon. As for Song Xingtian, that guy was already senile, what could he possibly use to rebel?

However, as more and more information came in, Lin Wanjun quickly confirmed the specific candidates: Leng Yan, Song Panning, and Song Xingtian.

In an instant, she felt as if she had been doused with cold water from head to toe, and her whole being felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.

"Has Leng Yan gone mad? She actually went and released that guy. Is she sick in the head?"

"And Song Xingtian, isn't that guy senile? He's been faking illness for so long just to rebel against his daughter?"

Most importantly, these two released Song Panning, which is completely wrong. From their perspective, isn't that Lin Wanjun?

Unless... Lin Wanjun thought of a possibility, unless they already knew that Song Panning was not Song Panning, and Lin Wanjun was not Lin Wanjun.

That's the only possibility; otherwise, it doesn't make sense. What would they be after if they did that?

“Song Panning…”

Lin Wanjun took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with countless cold glints. She should have killed her.

"Stop the troops and go back!"
