The improved female villains regained their memories.

"This is not something that anyone stipulated, but rather it is the will of Heaven. When humans are born, Heaven ordains that parents and children should do this. If they do not do this, they are going against the will of Heaven and will suffer eternal damnation."

As soon as Ling Tianxin finished speaking, the old and frail body suddenly burst forth with terrifying spiritual energy once again.

He sprang up from the ground like a cannonball, grabbed the Demon King around the waist, and said stubbornly in his old voice, "I will never let you hurt Mother."

"You're actually going to self-destruct your spiritual root?!" The Demon King sensed something was wrong. "Ling Tianxin only wanted to use you, and you're actually going to die for her?!"

He slammed his fists into empty air, breaking his already frail and weak spine. He let out a miserable scream, but still refused to let go.

Under Ling Tianxin's smiling gaze and amidst the Demon King's furious roar, Kong's body was completely shattered and torn apart by the Void Spirit Root. That power erupted in the Demon King's arms, directly devouring his body as well.

Rumble!

Thunder roared across the sky, and the heavens were enraged!

A mysterious power rose from the smoke and dust, and a corresponding energy was generated in the sky above, seemingly to meet the Demon King.

"No!!" The Demon King's angry voice came from within the smoke. At this moment, he finally understood Ling Tianxin's purpose.

Previously, Kong used his spiritual root to absorb his killing move, which made him think that the main function of the so-called [Void] spiritual root was to devour spiritual energy. But now that Kong has self-destructed, the true function of the Void spiritual root has been revealed, which made him fully understand Ling Tianxin's scheme.

The connection between Heaven and the Demon King was established. The Demon King, who was about to break through, gradually became transparent under the influence of [Void], and his surging cultivation could no longer be suppressed.

"This is impossible! How could this be?! You actually...!"

The Demon King roared in anger, but Ling Tianxin waited no longer and made a sudden move.

With a deafening roar, the earth tore open, and massive trees rose from the ground, their branches stretching out like tentacles to entangle the enraged demon king.

The Heavenly Dao Origin that was originally meant to receive the demon king had just entered his soul and hadn't even had a chance to break free before it was absorbed by the tree and continuously fed back to its master, Ling Tianxin.

The next second, her pale face turned rosy.

"The origin of the Heavenly Dao, it really is the origin of the Heavenly Dao! My deduction is correct, and taking this risky step was also the right thing to do! Hahahaha!"

The weakness in her soul vanished, and Ling Tianxin felt her body grow stronger, which greatly excited her.

After years of scheming, even abandoning her own sister, wasn't it all to change her tragic fate?

However, before she could even feel excited, her body visibly shrank.

"What... what's going on? I've already mastered the origin of the Heavenly Dao, so why have I reverted to my previous state of extreme depletion of energy?!"

Ling Tianxin was both shocked and furious, while the demon king, who was wrapped in layers of branches and about to be trapped inside the tree, chuckled coldly.

"Hehe, Ling Tianxin, so that's what you were planning. It's a pity you overlooked one step. Indeed, changing the protagonist's destiny and accepting the origin of the Heavenly Dao will make you the protagonist of the main world and pave the way for becoming a god in the future. But you don't know that the reason you are born weak is not determined by your protagonist's destiny, but by the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao, which transferred all your vital energy to your sister, which is why you are weak."

"In other words, in the original protagonist's destiny, Ling Tiandu was the weak one, and now you have taken over her destiny, which actually fits this situation. Heh, destiny is determined by heaven. Ling Tiandu's protagonist destiny is inherently weak, and only the [Heavenly Dao] can completely change it. The Heavenly Dao source you forcibly seized is only so much. No matter how much you possess it, in the end, you will become the weak one again, because this is what you are—"

"—It's fate."

A cold wind howled, and Ling Tianxin stood there, motionless.

The Demon King frowned. Something was wrong, something was very wrong. Ling Tianxin was so calm, as if she had known all along.

"Yes, this scene is exactly as I predicted."

As expected, she sighed deeply, her expression becoming calm: "I had some expectations, but it's a pity."

"you!"

"Master, the reason you said that is because you want me to go and switch fates back with Ling Tiandu, right? I'm afraid you've already made arrangements with the system. Even without my intervention, your coming here today was to fully unleash your cultivation and guide the origin of the Heavenly Dao to correct all of this, right?"

"you……"

"It's no use, Master. The system probably doesn't have time to deal with you right now. I've already destroyed the world will of World Six, and the system is probably in a real bind right now."

The Demon King's pupils contracted, and he looked at Ling Tianxin with trembling eyes.

"Traitor, what have you done? Do you even know that the villains of World Six have been fully transformed? Aren't you afraid of what you've done...?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, Master. Even if we become connected because of this, it doesn't matter. I will take on the responsibility of the protagonist and protect the Guardian Sect from the villains."

"Traitorous disciple..." The Demon King could no longer contain himself and roared in fury, "Traitorous disciple!!!"

The True Immortal's power surged again, tearing apart layer upon layer of branches. But unfortunately, the tree had already reacted, and the Demon King's figure completely disappeared into the branches, leaving only his face.

Even so, he continued to roar desperately, as if he wanted to tear Ling Tianxin to pieces.

However, Ling Tianxin just chuckled lightly, not caring at all.

“Master, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. Even if it’s my fate, I’ve already accepted it.”

"After all, it all depends on human effort."

The huge tree rose up from the ground with a rumble, blocking out the sky and the sun. Ling Tianxin looked at it and felt refreshed and relaxed.

Amidst billowing smoke and dust, Kong, with half of his body about to dissipate, hopped and skipped his way to Ling Tianxin.

"Mother, I did it. Is there anyone left who would want to hurt you...?"

He had completely turned into an old man, and after detonating his spiritual root, his body gradually turned into nothingness and dissipated.

"Mother, Mother..."

He looked at Ling Tianxin longingly, as if he wanted Ling Tianxin to touch him one more time before he disappeared.

However, the latter didn't even look at him and just walked past him sideways.

"Mother……"

He stared blankly for a moment, then vanished.

Ling Tianxin came to the tree and looked up. On the thick tree trunk, the faces of the Demon King and the Heavenly Dog were clearly visible.

Two True Immortal-level warriors, one of whom was the previous protector, have now become her nourishment.

This is the power of deduction.

You don't need great strength, just the right amount of coincidence to gradually move towards success.

"Although the goal has been achieved, a flaw has appeared in the Sixth World. According to the calculation, if the effect is not good, it is very likely to cause a chain of collapses."

"The most important thing is..."

That mysterious person has already intervened in the Sixth World.

Whether it was Zhi Zixun or herself, these actions were all within the expectations of that mysterious person.

"Who exactly are you...?"

Ling Tianxin narrowed her eyes slightly, but she still chuckled.

"No matter who you are, I will be the one who wins in the end."

"Soon, the heavens will be on my side."

-------------

For every person who is happy, there is someone who is sad.

Ling Tianxin completed her plan, while Shi Guijia, trapped in the palace fire, suffered terribly.

"Shi Guiyan, don't force me to hit you!"

She cursed as she fled, but Shi Guiyan behind her seemed not to hear her. [Piaomiao] and [Ruyue] kept unleashing sword energy, forcing Shi Guijia to retreat step by step.

She knew in her heart that Shi Guiyan was dead, and that she was now just a zombie.

But she couldn't bring herself to attack her and could only flee passively.

boom!

Another clash ensued. The [Qi Guan Chang Hong] sword in Shi Guiyan's hand required the wielder to have a steadily rising momentum, but now Shi Guiyan had no momentum at all, and was quickly sent flying by this attack.

Thick smoke kept filling her nostrils, and she felt a sharp pain in her back. The flames around her kept licking her skin. Her eyes were bloodshot as she struggled to get up, but Shi Guiyan pressed her down again.

A flash of sword light appeared, and Shi Guiyan raised her sword high, aiming it at Shi Guijia's face.

The sword fell, but stopped right in front of Shi Guijia's eyes. Shi Guiyan stared blankly at her, her mouth opening and closing:

"Let's go together..."

"What?" Shi Guijia didn't react.

"Sunrise... Wishing well... Spring water, you can go wherever you want."

Sis, let's go for a walk together.

[Where to?]

You can go anywhere—the sunrise at Lingxue Peak, the wishing well at Shenlong Lake, or the spring water at Tianlin Mountain Villa—you can go wherever you want.

Tick.

Despite the intense, burning sensation, Shi Guiyan could feel traces of water droplets on her face.

"Sister, little sister..."

She recalled events from many years ago.

The houses in the small town are close together, with broken tile roofs and walls covered with ivy.

A middle-aged man stood in front of the door with a bundle on his back. A girl sat on the threshold of the house, watching listlessly. Another younger girl stood there, looking at him with concern: "Father, are you really leaving?"

The man smiled, a hint of melancholy in his eyes, but he concealed it well: "Yes, when Father comes back, he'll bring you and Sister something delicious."

The little girl nodded: "Then, Father, you must come back soon."

The man nodded in agreement: "Xiaoyan, I'm leaving my sister in your care."

The little girl nodded even more vigorously: "Yes, I will take good care of her!"

The girl sitting on the threshold looked over and sneered, "Idiot."

"Father is gone."

"Goodbye, Father!"

The little girl stood at the door, waving vigorously until her father's figure disappeared. Only then did she run over angrily and stand in front of the girl, acting like a little adult.

"Sister, why didn't you say goodbye to Father?"

Happy.

"Sis, how could you swear like that?!"

"Idiot, he's not our real father."
