The improved female villains regained their memories.

In the main world, a super array, the ethereal aura of the Boundless Land flickered with a ghostly blue light, forming a cocoon the size of a human.

Click.

A crack appears, signifying that the creature nurtured inside the cocoon is about to emerge.

Ling Tianxin sat to the side watching. At this moment, her aura had weakened to a terrifying degree, like a candle in a storm, which could be extinguished at any moment.

She was initially full of worry, but when she saw cracks appearing in the cocoon in front of her, she was overjoyed.

"I succeeded! My calculations were correct! Hehehe, cough cough cough cough..."

She coughed incessantly, but her eyes were filled with immense joy as she looked on.

Click, click, click...

More and more cracks appeared. Under Ling Tianxin's gaze, the cocoon suddenly burst open, scattering into a sky full of starlight. A young man appeared naked in front of Ling Tianxin.

He was fast asleep with his eyes closed, like a baby, and his handsome face bore a striking resemblance to Ling Tianxin herself.

"Man is the miracle itself."

Ling Tianxin murmured to herself, stepped forward and stroked the young man's hair as if he were a precious treasure, her expression revealing her excitement.

"Not only does that secret realm contain the Wuhe Flower, but it also contains such a method of use. It was not in vain that I expended a drop of my heart's blood."

The more Ling Tianxin used the items left behind in the secret realm, the happier she became, but her vigilance also increased.

This person arranged all these things with the intention of supporting me, but no matter how I try to deduce, I can't figure out who the mastermind is.

"It doesn't matter who you are, as long as I can achieve my goal."

She sneered and focused intently once again on examining the body before her.

Hair, eyebrows, body, and an aura similar to one's own.

Without a doubt, this is my own child.

Ling Tianxin could no longer contain her excitement and said, almost trembling, "..."

"I succeeded! I really succeeded! A born True Immortal powerhouse! Hehehehehe, hahahahahahaha!!"

"My plan has finally reached its crucial moment, hahahahaha!"

After laughing, Ling Tianxin calmed down and sighed with regret: "It's a pity that although I have the cultivation of a true immortal, my lifespan is only twelve hours, and I even have to forge my own soul."

Using her heart's blood and nourishment called the Heavenly Dog, and with the help of the Wuhe Flower, Ling Tianxin did indeed create a True Immortal-level powerhouse, but unfortunately, the flaws were also very obvious.

Firstly, this body's lifespan is only twelve hours.

Secondly, the soul that controls the body needs to be forged by oneself.

However, there was also a method of cutting and utilizing souls within that secret realm. While turning her own sister into a zombie, Ling Tianxin also cut off a part of Ling Tiandu's soul.

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to the moment when my sister calls me 'Mother'."

As she spoke, she flipped her hand and took out the remaining wisp of soul.

After many days of tempering, this soul lost all its memories and became as white as paper. At her command, it was transferred into this body.

"You were born from the void, and in the end you will only become my tool for battle. After you die in battle, you will return to the void. Since it is such a short time, I will call you [Void]."

The young man twitched his eyelids, showing signs of waking up.

However, Ling Tianxin, who had been observing closely, frowned. She keenly sensed that the moment the soul entered this body, the body's lifespan began to shorten rapidly again.

"What happened? Everything was working fine, how could this be..."

She forced herself to continue the examination despite her exhaustion. After a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly: "So that's how it is. It's a problem with the soul. Ling Tiandu's soul is indeed resilient, but it's also a remnant soul. In addition, after I tempered it overnight, its control over the body is very poor, which has become a burden to this body."

"This is troublesome." Ling Tianxin was anxious, constantly thinking of a solution. "At this rate, Kong's death time will be much earlier. If there isn't enough time during the battle later, it will be a problem. But I guess Master has already discovered the clues and is coming to find us now. I'm afraid there isn't enough time for me to solve this problem now."

Just as she was pondering, the young man opened his eyes.

He stared wide-eyed, bewildered and innocent, and immediately looked at Ling Tianxin, uttering his first "Mother."

Ling Tianxin remained calm, reaching out to stroke it, but a sense of regret lingered in her heart.

"Forget it, I've already deduced this far. If it had this kind of influence, it would have already shown signs of misfortune. The fact that it hasn't shown signs of misfortune means that this flaw is nothing."

Thinking of this, she looked at the naked, fit young man again, her eyes revealing satisfaction.

"A unique [Void] spiritual root, a natural True Immortal realm cultivation, hehehe, you will be my sharpest sword, to remove the last obstacle for me and help me completely ascend the throne called the protagonist."

"Mother," Kong called out again.

"Good boy." Ling Tianxin smiled gently and immediately unleashed her killing move, pouring the prepared killing move and the necessary information into Kong's mind.

Kong was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes were no longer innocent, as if he had grown up in an instant.

“Mother.” He stood up and said solemnly, “No matter who tries to hurt you, I will protect you.”

Ling Tianxin laughed. She realized that in just a short while, the young man seemed to have grown taller than her. So she walked closer, stood on tiptoe, and continued to pat his head.

"Of course, I believe you will protect me, because you are my child. But you must remember that your time is limited, and you must achieve your goal within the time limit."

"Yes."

The mother and son were talking when they suddenly felt the ground shaking outside.

Boundless demonic and spiritual energy descended with oppressive force, and the cave in Wuhe Township, which was temporarily housed there, was also suppressed and emitted mournful cries.

Kong immediately shielded his mother behind him, while Ling Tianxin took out the Wuhe Flower and sensed a familiar figure descending upon the place.

It was the Demon King who arrived.

Chapter 352 Fate is Predestined

High above the towering mountains, the forests undulated like green waves in the wind, and the Demon King stood with his hands behind his back, watching coldly.

In a cave somewhere, ripples spread through the air, and Ling Tianxin and Kong, who was dressed, appeared.

The Demon King looked over with complicated eyes. It was still his disciple's familiar appearance, but at this moment it gave him a strange feeling. The young man beside her, dressed in green and white, had an aura that was no weaker than his own.

"Master, you've arrived."

The girl smiled radiantly, still possessing that pure and lovely appearance, but the Demon King's anger flared up, and he angrily questioned, "Ling Tianxin, what exactly have you done?"

"Ling Tianxin?" The girl tilted her head slightly, then smiled broadly. "Master, you're mistaken. I am Ling Tiandu."

The Demon King was stunned, then his anger intensified: "So it really was you who did it, Ling Tianxin. I have never treated you badly. I have never let you suffer because you are weak and sickly. Your parents and your sister have also done nothing wrong to you. But you, you have turned against your own flesh and blood, murdered your relatives and friends, and now you have even attacked your fellow practitioners in the Guardian Heaven Sect. Has it been that you have completely become a villain?"

With each word he spoke, the Demon King's aura rose to a new level. Before, everyone was still mindful of the teacher-student relationship, but now they had completely torn off all pretenses.

Ling Tianxin's smile vanished, and she looked at the Demon King expressionlessly: "Yes, Master, you're right. You've been very good to me, never neglecting me because of my poor health. My parents have also been very good to me, neither my father nor my mother has ever disliked me because of my poor health. Even my older sister, when she was very young, would stand in front of me and firmly say, 'From now on, I will protect you.'"

"Everyone is fine, nothing is bad, except for my life."

Ling Tianxin laughed self-deprecatingly: "Master, do you know, I once asked Father why I had to drink such bitter medicine while my sister didn't. Guess what he answered? He said, 'Everyone has their own destiny.'"

Everyone has his own life.

The righteous have their righteous fate, and the villains have their villainous fate. Once their destinies are revealed, the two sides embark on completely different paths.

"But why?"

"Why should I be born to suffer like this? Why should my sister be born to enjoy the attention of others, while I can only huddle in that room, enduring the pain day after day?"

"Why?!"

As one of the previous generation's twelve guardians, the Demon King had witnessed the obsessions of many villains and heard many boastful remarks. Having dealt with villains for a long time, he was naturally not swayed by Ling Tianxin's words. Instead, he sneered and said, "Yes, you're right. On what grounds? Then I'd like to ask you, you secretly influenced your sister's emotions and indiscriminately killed innocent people in order to set up your schemes. On what grounds did those people who died because of your conspiracies and tricks also die?"

Ling Tianxin looked at the Demon King: "Yes, they shouldn't have died because of me, but Master, don't you think this is unfair? It's true that I affected my sister's emotions and personality, but when her hands were also stained with the blood of innocent people, you turned a blind eye to her and let bygones be bygones, but you used these words to refute me. I want to ask you, what is the basis for this?"

Let me tell you why. It's because my sister is the righteous one, the protagonist, and carries your expectations. So, even if she makes a huge mistake, your first thought is to correct her, not punish her. Because of this, I've come to a conclusion..."

At this point, Ling Tianxin spread her arms wide and laughed heartily, "It's all because of destiny, it's all because I'm the protagonist!"

The Demon King stopped speaking, but his eyes grew colder and his killing intent almost solidified.

Ling Tianxin's remarks are completely those of a villain.

Summarizing fallacies from a bunch of facts is what Gu Lao once told him about the so-called villainous nature. He had always paid more attention to the people around Ling Tiandu because of this, but he never expected that this sister who was born of the same mother as the protagonist would actually be the villain in the main world.

And now, this villain is about to become the protagonist.

As the saying goes, fate is determined by heaven, but human effort can make a difference. Ling Tianxin's attempt to alter fate is an interference with the laws of heaven, which is absolutely forbidden in the Guardian Heaven Sect.

This is why the Demon King's murderous aura grew stronger and stronger.

Ling Tianxin seemed completely oblivious to the Demon King's murderous intent, and continued, "Master, your goal is simply to cultivate the protagonist, isn't it? In that case, it doesn't matter whether my sister or I become the protagonist, doesn't it? I promise you, I will protect the Heavenly Guardian Sect and uphold the Heavenly Dao, and I will never let those villains succeed..."

"Heh." The Demon King sneered, "What will you do if I don't grant your request?"

Ling Tianxin blinked and sighed helplessly, "If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do."

"If you want to lay a hand on me, what right do you have? Just because of that brat next to you?"

The Demon King laughed a few times, then said coldly, "Is this the illusion that you have after the conspiracy succeeded? Ling Tianxin, I taught you how to deduce, and your skills have grown under my guidance. Now, if you want to scheme against me, you'll have to see if you have the strength to support such a big scheme you've set up."

The demon king suddenly raised his arm and held up one finger.

Ling Tianxin looked up and saw the sky shrouded in dark clouds, with purple energy surging within.

Above the sky, endless demonic energy condensed into a sphere, while the surrounding spiritual energy enveloped it, adding an extra layer of protection.

The ball of light, composed of spiritual and demonic energy, smashed through the clouds and slowly fell like a meteorite.

As expected of one of the Twelve Guardians, the Demon King possessed genuine Immortal-level strength. His first move was a destructive killing move imbued with the traces of the Great Dao.

The wind howled, and the forest was completely destroyed by the wind pressure. Ling Tianxin took a few steps back and said helplessly, "Oh dear, if this were to hit, I'm afraid I would be reduced to ashes."

Kong, standing nearby, immediately tensed up: "Mother, will that ball hurt you?"

"Yes, that uncle intended to kill me."

The young man disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already above the sphere. Under the stunned gaze of the Demon King, he opened his arms and absorbed the entire sphere of light, just like a black hole absorbing a meteorite.

"What kind of killing move is this?"

The demon king was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but the next second, the young man flashed in front of him again. The two clashed fists at the same time, the air vibrated, and the spiritual energy that spread out destroyed the nearby mountain peak.

"True Immortal level!?"

The demon king was astonished when he discovered the young man's true strength, but before he could think it through, the young man's attack came again.
