The improved female villains regained their memories.

The reason she remained inactive was simply that she was waiting for the right opportunity to annex it.

"His Majesty."

Fang Wu bowed again: "This crisis is greater than ever before. The Heavenly Way is mixed with human will, and the Human Way is mixed with the Heavenly Will. This confrontation will surely determine the victor and the vanquished. Regardless of who wins or loses, the Qian Kingdom will cease to exist."

Ling Tiandu wasn't the only one skilled in deduction techniques.

Fang Wu also had some deduction skills, but he wasn't as good as Ling Tiandu. He could only vaguely deduce that the Qian Kingdom had become a ruin, and above the ruins was an unprecedented new world.

Regardless of which side wins, the Qian Kingdom will cease to exist.

"Even so, why did you contact the female villain?" Xu Weibang asked. "Are you so sure she will win?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am certain."

He said with certainty, "She will definitely win."

years ago.

Song Panning arrived in the main world and placed her chess piece.

Fang Wu asked her, "The Guardian Heaven Sect has a deep foundation, like a great tree. You are all alone, like an ant. How can an ant shake a great tree?"

Song Panning smiled and shook her head, correcting him: "I am not an ant, but a hidden dragon, and I am not the only hidden dragon like me."

Song Panning's true goal has never changed: to unite all the villains and fight against the Guardian Heaven Sect.

In the study, the emperor and his ministers looked at each other.

Xu Weibang remained silent for a long time, then sighed and rubbed his temples, saying, "Well, things have come to this, what else can I say? I just don't know whether siding with the villains is a blessing or a curse."

Fang Wu said, "To succeed, you must make your plans fit reality. But reality often makes it difficult to balance both sides. If you agree with one side, you have to betray the other. If you agree with the other side, you have to betray the first. Only by firmly standing on one side and turning your back on the other can you follow the situation, find a way to change it, and thus achieve success."

Xu Weibang glared at him and said, "That sounds nice, but you've been keeping it from me and standing firmly on the villain's side. I want to ask you, what kind of person is this female villain you've been in contact with that makes you so determined?"

Fang Wu realized that this was His Majesty's test.

He knew that the most taboo thing for a monarch is for his subjects to conceal things. Since he had done this behind the emperor's back, it would be difficult for the emperor to trust him from now on. If he kept praising the female villain, there would probably be further estrangement in the future.

Knowing the intricacies of the court, he understood that he should point out Song Panning's shortcomings and offer a contingency plan to reassure His Majesty and minimize any misunderstandings. After all, if he truly angered His Majesty and decided to fight to the death, he would lose all his cultivation.

However, Fang Wu thought back to the night he had talked with Song Panning a few years ago, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

He straightened his back and praised Song Panning frankly: "Song Panning is unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, courageous and resourceful, knowledgeable and broad-minded. With the appearance of an immortal, he plans for the world and has the spirit to swallow mountains and rivers. He is no less courageous than a great man. Even knowing that his opponent has the support of the Heavenly Dao, he is still fearless and even dares to gamble with the Heavenly Dao. This courage alone has already surpassed many people. He is a true hero of our time."

Upon hearing this, Xu Weibang sneered and retorted to Fang Wu: "According to you, Song Panning, a cultivator, is not even afraid of the Heavenly Dao?"

At this moment, Song Panning, whom they were discussing, was standing at the door of the room, facing the rising sun.

The rising sun illuminated the world and dispelled the darkness. Song Panning looked into the distance and couldn't help but think to herself, "At this time, Fang Wu has probably already confronted that emperor, right?"

In this way, his plan was only one step away from completion.

In the battle of Tianren Mountain, Yang Pingsheng acquired the identity of a villain and truly stood on the same side as the female villains. Thanks to the help of the Guardian Sect's Human Chess Plan and with the support of human will, Song Panning used everyone's admiration for Yang Pingsheng to suppress the simmering chaos. The next step, naturally, is to integrate them and truly turn the female villains into a group.

For this final step, she needed to rely on the system, since the cohesion of a team depends on how powerful your enemy is.

"Hehe, back then, you hid inside Yang Pingsheng's body, trying to manipulate everything, but now you've fallen into my hands."

After several clashes with the system, the one who ultimately emerged victorious was Song Panning.

Disguise, concealment, forbearance, and scheming—Song Panning played her own yandere role, not only deceiving Yang Pingsheng's system but also another system hidden behind the scenes. She hid so deeply that even the world's will was unaware of her deception.

She was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for the moment to transform into a dragon.

And now, the venomous snake is flicking its tongue at the rising sun.

"When fate chose me to be the villain, when my parents gave birth to me, when my destiny was set, I had no way out."

"Since being a villain is my fate, then I accept my fate. And when I accept it, it means that I have no choice but to fight against the Guardian Sect."

"It's either him or me; there's no other way."

"Not to mention, I'm a greedy person. Influenced by others, I even wanted Yang Pingsheng's status as his legal wife."

"But so what? If one lives a life without any ambition, wouldn't it be too regrettable to just drift through life aimlessly?"

Thinking of this, she looked up at the sky.

The sky is vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Even if an immortal could shatter mountains and rivers with a flick of their finger, they would still seem so insignificant compared to the heavens.

Yes, how could human wisdom possibly compare to that of nature?

However, Song Panning simply chuckled softly, letting the sunlight shine on her, dispelling the shadows and making everything dazzling.

Chapter 316 The First Gathering of Female Villains

The Heavenly Guardian Sect, deep underground, at the altar.

The array's light illuminated the ground, and the central sphere of light was firmly suppressed, constantly emitting screams.

Ling Tiandu held the token that symbolized the world's changes in his palm, staring expressionlessly at the sphere of light.

Seeing the ball of light resisting so fiercely, she sighed, as if she had made up her mind, and rubbed her fingers against the token to activate a certain mechanism.

Five enormous pillars fell from the sky, landing in the five directions of the formation. The central pillar pierced directly through the sphere of light, making its screams even louder.

The spiritual energy formed golden chains, linking the pillars together. The sphere of light felt even greater pressure, as if some strange force was drilling into its body, seemingly trying to dismantle it.

Ling Tiandu sighed softly, stepped forward, and looked at the Mother System, saying, "You are nothing but a product created by Tong Chenguang. Back then, the chosen one of that generation used you to carry out the Human Chess Plan. The dying wish given to you by the Heavenly Dao before Hehua was for you to continue to assist the chosen one of the future. Now, I have become the new master of the Guardian Heaven Sect and the protagonist of the main world. Why do you insist on opposing me?"

Her voice was clear and gentle, echoing underground, as if it could illuminate the night along with the light.

However, the mother system remained silent and continued to resist the erosion of the pillar with all its might.

Ling Tiandu continued, "I know you care about the fact that I stole the protagonist's destiny, but so what? I am the protagonist now, and I am also the chosen one of destiny. These are undeniable facts. Indeed, I am despicable, shameless, and unscrupulous, but only I can help the Guardian Heaven Sect overcome this most dangerous crisis. You originated from the same source as the Dust Light and are also good at divination and calculation. Why can't you understand this point?"

The mother system remained silent. In the past, it would have cursed Ling Tiandu, but not now. It had to do everything in its power to resist Ling Tiandu's erosion.

"Ha, the stones in the latrine are both smelly and hard."

Ling Tiandu snorted coldly, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeve.

The token transformed back into a sand table floating in her palm. Ling Tiandu, who had returned to the main hall from underground, walked to the door and looked at the empty sea of ​​clouds, her brows furrowing slightly.

For some reason, her premonitions had been getting worse these days, as if something bad was happening in the shadows.

Everything was going smoothly. Although she suffered a great loss in the battle of Tianren Mountain due to Song Panning's scheme, she immediately set up the Taixu Earth and took the opportunity to completely win over the heart of the God of Wine. Ling Tiandu believed that unless the God of Wine died in battle, he would not allow anyone to harm him.

In addition, because of the battle at Tianren Mountain, Tian Bulian's connection with the female villain was exposed. After being warned, Tian Bulian also expressed his intention to submit and contributed a lot of information that even Ling Tiandu did not know. Thanks to Tian Bulian's information, Ling Tiandu realized that Fang Wu had actually sided with the female villain.

That old guy said he was thinking of the royal family, seemingly acting like a fence-sitter, but in reality he had already chosen to side with the female villain. So, his suggestion about Tianren Mountain was very likely at Song Panning's behest.

Damn it, but whatever. As long as my plan continues and the new world arrives, there's no need for the Qian Kingdom to remain.

She stood at the entrance of the main hall, as if she were standing on a cloud, overlooking the world.

The world in her palm kept turning, projecting images, and all the main characters were undergoing intensive training under her arrangement.

Du Wanli and Mu Xiaobai have both recovered from their injuries and are receiving training guidance from Tian Bulian and Granny Zhinu in turn. Guan Hongyi is still working on her killing moves, and her Wind Spirit Armor seems to have made great progress. Gu Ziang himself also has a Wind Spirit Root, and he trains with Guan Hongyi, partly to learn from each other and partly to keep an eye on Ling Tiandu.

The God of Wine has now become Ling Tiandu's most important trump card. Ling Tiandu arranged for him to be placed in the underground cave where the Demon King was imprisoned, next to that strange tree, where he constantly comprehends the traces of the Heavenly Dao and perfects the God of Wine Tomb killing move.

Under Ling Tiandu's arrangement, the main characters acted in an orderly manner, and each of them made a breakthrough. Of course, there was one exception.

"Ling, Sister Ling'er..."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Ling Tiandu concealed the contempt deep in her eyes, once again adopting a gentle and innocent demeanor, and looked at Luo Benqing beside her: "Xiaoqing, what's wrong?"

The boy standing before her had an androgynous appearance, and with his flowing long hair, if it weren't for his attire as a male disciple of the Guardian Heaven Sect, one might easily mistake him for a woman. He held a bowl of hot white soup, with some medicinal herbs and the red meat of an unknown creature floating on top, and handed it to Ling Tiandu, speaking nervously, "I heard from Granny Weaver that you, Sister Ling'er, are not in good health and don't like taking pills or anything like that, so I found some monster meat that can replenish qi and made it into food. Please have some."

The person in front of me is Luo Benqing.

Ling Tiandu assigned cultivation tasks to everyone, but he adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Luo Benqing.

She took the soup bowl, smiled, and reached out to pat Luo Benqing's head, asking, "What made you decide to make this?"

“Everyone is training and has something to do, and I also want to help Sister Ling’er.” Under Ling Tiandu’s gentle persuasion, Luo Benqing was a little embarrassed and said with his head down, “But my strength is too weak, and my water elemental root is not suitable for combat, so…”

Of the five common spiritual roots—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—the water spiritual root is indeed the least suitable for combat.

On the one hand, water's extremely soft and weak nature makes it difficult to develop offensive killing moves. On the other hand, people who awaken the water spiritual root tend to be somewhat uncompetitive. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Ling Yan'er.

To fight with a water elemental root, the first hurdle to overcome is to perfectly utilize the characteristics of the water elemental root and develop a deadly immortal technique. Luo Benqing is not good at innovation and has little interest in killing, which means that in actual combat, he is basically no match for other immortals.

"Xiao Qing, don't overthink it." Ling Tiandu smiled slightly and comforted her, "Heaven sent you here for a reason. Maybe it's because of your relationship with your sister that it sent you here. Luo Benmo is indeed a bad person, but she might have some special feelings for you, after all, you are her blood relative."

“Sister Ling’er…” Luo Benqing’s mood became even more dejected when he mentioned Luo Benmo. “Tell me, how can I possibly make up with her when she misunderstands me so deeply?”

"It's definitely possible. Don't overthink it. Just get some rest. If you feel bored, go for a walk down the mountain. If your sister needs your help, she'll definitely call you."

"Okay, I'll be going now. Sister, please have some soup. If you don't like it, let me know and I'll try to improve my cooking skills."

"Okay, but Xiaoqing's soup will definitely be delicious, and I'll definitely finish it."

"Then, sister, I'll be going now."

"Ah."

Watching Luo Benqing's retreating figure, Ling Tiandu slowly suppressed her smile and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, the fact that [Heavenly Path] chose to send Luo Benqing over was beyond Ling Tiandu's expectations.

The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and man escapes one. That one is actually a hint from the Heavenly Dao. The sages of the Heavenly Guardian Sect constantly used their own will to distort the Heavenly Dao, making the Heavenly Dao stand on the side of the Heavenly Guardian Sect. Therefore, before every crisis arrives, the Heavenly Dao will use the gate to cast the only way to defeat the villain.

In other words, the main characters.

In Ling Tiandu's deduction, the most difficult female villain to defeat is Luo Benmo. This girl gets stronger the more she is fought and has no weaknesses. Even if they capture Yang Pingsheng to threaten her... no, with her around, they have no chance to capture Yang Pingsheng. This brother-obsessed girl has set up many schemes, and with her own talent, even though Ling Tiandu knows that she exists, she does not dare to act rashly.

She racked her brains for a way to defeat Luo Benmo, so the help of [Heavenly Dao] was especially important to her.

"But why Luo Benqing?"

Ling Tiandu picked up a soup spoon and stirred the milky white soup, completely baffled.

"Feeling sentimental? Don't be ridiculous. That guy has been immersed in malice for too long and has long become someone who doesn't easily trust others. Besides, her current emotional support is all with Renqi. She already has a rift with Luo Benqing. Even if you killed Luo Benqing in front of her, she probably wouldn't be moved."

How exactly do you defeat someone like that?

Ling Tiandu stopped stirring, sighed softly, and a fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

"Luo Benmo is indeed a good fighter, but she must have weaknesses. Someone like her will not submit to anyone, so naturally she would not act with other female villains."
