The improved female villains regained their memories.

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

Suddenly, golden light enveloped the cave.

Qingtian suddenly looked up, turned his head to look at the cave entrance, and hissed a warning at the figure that appeared there.

The person approached quietly and touched Qingtian's head, and Qingtian immediately quieted down.

Enveloped in golden light, Song Panning felt as if she were immersed in a warm ocean, which calmed her chaotic thoughts.

She felt the quiet.

She opened her eyes and saw the man standing in front of the bed.

The hand, with its golden markings, gently touched her forehead.

At the same time, she heard the man say:

"Panning, I'm here."

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

Whether from sadness or the complexities brought on by the return of memories, Song Panning's voice trembled slightly.

She tilted her head slightly and said:

"This time, at least it's not too late."

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

He could hear the resentment in her words.

Without human intervention or divine intervention, their relationship had calmed down, and the madness of one sacrificing everything for the other was gone.

But her next sentence made him realize that even without madness, the flowing emotions were endless and difficult to sever.

"If you don't come, I will find a way to find you. After all, I also want to know what kind of person I like."

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

With traces of the Great Dao present, the gaze of Heaven and Destiny is temporarily obscured.

Freed from the torment of the Heavenly Dao and replenished by the True Mark of the Great Dao, Song Panning's complexion improved considerably. Her chaotic memories gradually cleared up, and she sat up, leaning against the bed, looking at the man standing beside her.

Instead of investigating Yang Pingsheng's methods, she asked directly, "I'm not the first person whose memories you've restored, am I?"

Yang Pingsheng made no attempt to hide anything and answered frankly, "Yes."

"Is the first one Wen Shihan?"

"Ah."

"What about her?"

"In my shadow."

"Why don't you come out to see me?"

"this......."

"Hehe." Song Panning chuckled lightly, "Just a child's temper."

The shadows cast by the light stirred for a moment, then eventually quieted down.

Not wanting to put Yang Pingsheng in a difficult position, Song Panning continued, "You've probably already been exposed, and Ye Buxin and her people... won't give you a third chance."

Song Panning was telling the truth.

Yang Pingsheng has mastered spatial techniques and condensed the true traces of the Great Dao, but his current foundation is ultimately too shallow. He doesn't have many true traces of the Great Dao, and every time he uses them, they become less and less.

Wen Shihan had just regained his memories when the Heavenly Dao reacted, leaving him no choice but to make a decision.

Ultimately, he chose Song Panning.

He rescued Leng Yan, who was imprisoned, with lightning speed. After settling her in using the True Mark of the Great Dao, he rushed to Song Panning's place.

The laws of space are amazing; they allow him to complete these actions almost instantly.

However, the Heavenly Dao was quick to act as well, and after realizing what was happening, Fate also made adjustments.

He no longer has the chance to recover the memories of the third villain.

“You made the right choice. No matter what, I’m more reliable than those lunatics,” Song Panning said expressionlessly. “But I thought I would be the first.”

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

The shadows surged again, and it was clear that Wen Shihan was about to lose control.

Yang Pingsheng reached out and pressed down slightly, and the shadow returned to calm. After doing all this, Yang Pingsheng answered seriously: "Before the new world opened, Xiao Han placed part of her soul here with me. Soul splitting cannot last too long, so I found her first."

"Hmph..." Song Panning snorted coldly, then smiled, "I was just saying it casually, why do you have to explain it to me so seriously?"

"........."

Yang Pingsheng was speechless. He could tell that Song Panning did not intend to embarrass him, nor did she really resent him for not being the first to come to him.

She's just...purely jealous.

Human nature amplifies emotions, and the villains are monsters who live by their obsessions, so in terms of possessiveness alone, none of them are inferior to the others. But Song Panning is not just possessive; she cares about much more.

She cares—

The academy has secluded and quiet paths, a martial arts training ground with peach petals, a secret base in the Song family's backyard, and flower bushes where fireflies swarm...

care--

A cheerful greeting in the classroom, a scolding at the dinner table, sharing life and death on the stage of the goddess, an inquiry at the top of the cliff...

care--

The boy's quiet demeanor as he followed, the profound soul he revealed upon entering the formation, the extreme melancholy, and the unfathomable heart.

Beneath that facade lies an ambition to control everything.

Yang Pingsheng opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

In the end, it was he who let her down.

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

"The villains are manipulated by fate, but you have transcended it in your life. In that case, I have to congratulate you."

They left the cave and found a high mountain overlooking the capital.

The evening breeze ruffled Song Panning's hair. Yang Pingsheng looked at her profile and could still hear the sourness in her words.

But she was still seriously analyzing the situation with him: "I know the situation pretty much. As for the fate of those villains who haven't recovered, they're probably going to have a tough time from now on."

"What you need to do now is to activate Network One, find your past self, and restore your original memories."

This is a situation that everyone can understand without Song Panning having to explain it.

Heaven's will, destiny, and the alliance of heroes—even if Yang Pingsheng comprehends the true traces of the Great Dao, rescuing two is already his limit. As for fate, the trajectories of the other female villains are already different from before.

Making a hasty decision will surely result in a backlash from fate.

Yang Pingsheng began, "Panning, I think..."

"I'll go in your place."

These are very serious words.

She tilted her head, the evening breeze ruffling her hair. The goddess's face showed no jealousy, no sickness, only earnestness.

“I will go in your place.”

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

She suddenly remembered the love letter she had written back then.

At that time, she had just arrived in the main world and was suffering from the backlash of her emotions as a human chess player, unable to control herself.

That night, she locked herself in her room and wrote a love letter to Yang Pingsheng—

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

"Jun'an: "

My lord, please take good care of your precious body, and may you be able to fulfill your heart's desire, rediscover your original aspirations, and return to your true self. My longing for you and my love for you are profound, and therefore I am willing to take your place in doing things that are beyond my control.

My thoughts of you, my lord, never cease, day and night. Whenever I think of you, my heart is filled with longing, and I cannot contain myself. You are to my heart like a star shining brightly in the night sky, dazzling and incomparable. Now that you are perhaps troubled, or have lost your true purpose, my heart aches with worry and pain. Your original aspirations, your true nature, are all things I cherish. If you could regain your former self, and rekindle your will, that would be my greatest wish. And my love for you is so deep that I would gladly take your place in hardship, even if it were something beyond my control, I would do it willingly, without fear or regret.

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

Under Yang Pingsheng's dazed gaze, and amidst the increasingly violent writhing of the shadows, Song Panning murmured softly.

As she finished reading, she paused slightly, her eyes gazing at nothing but Yang Pingsheng.

Without any deliberate embellishment, she uttered the last sentence:

Do you know... my feelings?

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

Yang Pingsheng, I am very happy.

I get angry with you and complain about you, all because of my selfishness and my restless possessiveness. But even so, I am still very happy.

Because you are no longer a human chess piece, you can go and find your true self.

What I want is never a puppet who listens to me, but someone with their own will who can act according to their own will. Otherwise, why should I believe in his love for me?

Before this, you always listened to others. You listened to the system first, and then to me. In the Battle of the Grasslands, you finally had your own ideas. Although I was not satisfied, I was actually very happy.

You can finally be yourself.

No matter what your original intention was, no matter if you are good or bad, I will stand by your side unconditionally and help you deal with the things and people that are bothering you. Otherwise, how can I prove my love for you?

So go for it!

I'm here, waiting for you to come back.

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

I hope you remain unchanged, and I wish you peace and tranquility.

Therefore, it is Song Panning.
