986 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

# Title: The Girl Who Became the Villainess Entangled by Beauties - Chapter 986: Great Misfortune "Supreme, what is different?" An unfamiliar voice echoed directly in everyone's mind, like an irresistible force enlightening them. For an ordinary young cultivator, this might have evoked a fearsome expression. But those who had followed their senior sister here were all elites among elites. Thus, everyone gathered tightly around Tang Xin. The survival rule of the genius squad: "When facing difficulty, huddle together for warmth." "Stay calm," Tang Xin said, carefully listening to the tone of the unfamiliar voice. "I don't sense any hostility in that voice..." The surrounding environment was strange, indeed, but the colorful "spots" didn't cause them any actual harm. "Supreme transcends all things, unbound by heaven and earth, free and unrestrained." Another unfamiliar voice seemed to be answering the question. The spots in the space began to float, gradually forming two figures in front of them. One was dressed in white, the other in black. Their faces were indistinguishable, but one looked old and the other young. "Free and unrestrained?" The young figure in black sneered and said, "Why don't I feel that way?" The old man in white bowed his head slightly. After a while, he replied quietly. "Perhaps your heart is not yet free..." A smack. The two figures merged, turning into something half black and half white, slowly rotating like a millstone. After a while. "Wow! What is this?" Xian Ling exclaimed. "What just happened?" "Alright, alright, you two get off me," Tang Xin muttered, stepping forward and standing beneath the black-and-white millstone. She asked, "Who are you, senior? And why are you telling us these things?" The millstone did not respond. Xian Ling and Qian Qian also stepped up, looking up at the sky together. In their perception, the millstone above them had no special aura. And that was precisely the strangest part... "Should we try shooting an arrow at it?" suggested the young lady from the celestial noble family. Tang Xin shook her head, thought for a moment, and then spoke. "I believe senior means no harm. You might be a lingering consciousness, a remnant force not yet dissipated with the heavens and the earth. But if you have something to tell us, why not just say it?" The millstone trembled twice and quickly returned to normal. Clearly, it could hear and understand what she was saying. The people on the ground were silent for a moment. "Xian Ling," Tang Xin said, rolling her eyes, "shoot that thing down." They wouldn't give an inch; they practically begged for someone to make a move... "Got it!" Xian Ling eagerly took out a high-grade spiritual bow and prepared to shoot. "Are the young people these days all like this...?" came a voice from the millstone. "Yes," Tang Xin nodded emphatically. "Young people nowadays have little patience... So, senior, appearing here, what is it you want to tell us?" "It's not what I want to tell you," the millstone said, "but what you want to know... Your appearing here now is 'destiny.'" "Destiny," the senior sister frowned. "To be honest, I still don't understand what this means..." "All beings and things have a destiny," the millstone replied. "Destiny is not singular; it is a range, a series of possibilities." "A range..." Tang Xin could understand this concept, but the other young cultivators were puzzled. "But from these possibilities, only one can truly come to pass," she said, looking intently at the millstone. "For example, our meeting here and now." "Yes." The figure affirmed her statement. "What is Tang Xin babbling about?" "I don't know, her thoughts differ from ours." "I think she’s not in the right state of mind, should we knock her out?" Tang Xin glared at her companions, signaling them to be quiet, and continued. "I was guided by a senior who told me there was an ‘unknown destiny’ here, so I came from afar." "Indeed, your senior seems to be on the threshold of being Supreme..." The millstone fell silent. Tang Xin was stunned. Senior Xing Hong was that powerful? Already at the upper limit of the mid-stage tribulation, touching the threshold of the Supreme? She should have seized more chances to build a master-disciple relationship... "I think I understand now," after a long wait, the millstone continued, "you are the 'heavenly prodigy' of this generation? An individual protected by the fate of the heavens?" "No, I’m this generation's 'Heavenly Misfortune,' cursed by the heavens with great bad luck..." Tang Xin honestly replied. The millstone trembled twice more, then a voice came out once again. "...Alright, close enough, both roles surrounded by destiny." It paused, continuing. "Not just you, but all the people behind you; their destinies are more complex than ordinary people. Since you have come before me, I shall plant within you the seeds of destiny. Returning to the original question, what is different about the Supreme?" "What is different?" Tang Xin looked seriously at the millstone and discreetly kicked her companion, urging them to listen carefully. "At the early stage of tribulation, one can traverse the void. At the mid-stage of tribulation, one possesses a 'self-sustaining world'... But no matter what level one reaches, they are still bound by a force." "Related to the primordial world?" "Exactly. Whether it is the nine continents, the void realm, small worlds, or the emptiness that seems devoid of energy, life, and aura, they all still harbor the force of the primordial world." "Space, time, causality, are all expressions of the primordial world's force," the millstone's voice turned somber. "When one masters these primordial forces to a certain extent, one can be called 'Supreme.'" "I see..." "But," it shifted its tone, "what truly sets the Supreme apart?" "We can traverse various spaces, have long lifespans, see many destinies... But we are still just 'beings with stronger power.' What do you think, Miss Great Misfortune?" Tang Xin pondered for a long time before replying. "This is just the power not having reached its peak," the senior sister said. "If someone could completely master space, time, and causality, wouldn't they be 'omniscient and omnipotent'? Wouldn’t they achieve complete freedom?" "You are very clever..." It seemed laughter emanated from the millstone. "So, you might also guess that many can reach the Supreme Realm, but our world would only allow one true 'Supreme!' "
