1112 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

## Chapter 1112: Consequence Everyone thought that proving Tang Xin was an outsider would provide a chance to negotiate a ceasefire with the Blood Lord. However, hearing the Blood Lord's sincere praise made them realize this hope was merely a mirage. They had underestimated Tang Xin’s determination. The Blood Lord was unwilling to stop, likely due to her resentment towards fate. She refused to be controlled by the primordial will and couldn’t bear to watch this world continue in a state of stupor. She sought to shatter it all—her own destiny, and the world's destiny. "This is the true villain," the Blood Lord remarked, casting a lingering gaze at Tang Xin. "One who dares to challenge everything." "Tang Xin, do you dare to challenge your own fate?" This question plunged the white-haired witch into silence. Everyone around her gazed at her intently. The Blood Lord's description allowed them to deduce that the Blood Sovereign Palace intended to sacrifice the majority of this world’s lives to open a new path of hope for the remaining people, relying on the outsider’s arrival as their clue. The sheer power needed to create the spatial anomaly necessary for the outsider’s entrance had already been immense, based on the forced combination of sword and demon blade. Establishing a stable passage would require an unfathomable cost. However, if they wanted a way out, that price was unavoidable. "The big fish eats the small fish to complete the evolution of their species," Tang Xin spoke slowly after a pause. "Perhaps, from a species’ perspective, this is the right thing to do… But I’m sorry, I’m not that noble!" With a slash, darkness surged. The Blood Sun Palace’s forces, on the cusp of invading the Nine Provinces, were obliterated, and the demon blade's power cut the Blood Lord in two. Black particles floated from the split, but his expression remained unchanged. He remarked in the end, "Just as the Blood Lord anticipated… you are indeed this world’s greatest villain..." With the Blood Lord's dispersion, the remaining Blood Sun Palace members retreated immediately, and Tang Xin didn’t bother to chase them down. "The Blood Lord is dead?" Yu Ling Zi asked. "No, this was just an avatar," Tang Xin replied, her face betraying her internal struggle, her head bowed. The System Maiden emerged from within her, gently patting her shoulder in comfort. "Is what I’m doing right?" Tang Xin murmured, "Am I placing personal desire above the future of my people?" "Do you understand why we split into two?" the System Maiden asked. "Because, even at the last moment, Tang Xin couldn’t be certain of the truly 'correct' action. Perhaps there’s no such thing as ‘correct,’ and everything boils down to the consequences." "Before results manifest, no one can say what’s right or wrong," Su Ling assured her. "In the end, follow your heart." "Is that so…" Tang Xin’s spirits seemed to lift slightly. **Emergency communication! Void Outpost No. 3 under direct attack! Requesting support!** **Outpost No. 5 in critical condition!** **Outpost No. 11 in critical condition!** "Let's stabilize the situation first." ... The Blood Sovereign Palace attacked the Nine Provinces with a strategy distinct from the Void Realm. In contrast to gathering everyone in one place, they organized forces to launch assaults from various directions. With the demon blade, Tang Xin's strength was formidable; even the true Blood Lord was no match for her. However, she was still one person—no matter how fast she traversed space, it took time. Guarding an entire continent alone was an impossible dream. Yu Ling Zi and others brainstormed countermeasures actively, but the strength of the Blood Lord's avatars was daunting. "Is there truly no solution?" the Loli Leader frowned. To counter supreme-level power, one needs power of the same level. But where could they find such power? At this moment of despair, XingHong Xian Jun seemed to offer a glimmer of hope. "The Seven Stars Pool." He explained calmly, "Since the mid-transcendence restrictions were lifted, my connection with the heavenly way has eased considerably... In this divine calculation, I received this message." "The Seven Stars Pool? What’s its purpose?" Xu Le Xian asked. "To grant the Seven Stars their rightful blessing," he replied. "The Blood Lord's emergence hastened fate’s cycle. The ultimate battle is imminent, and thus the Seven Stars, being the saviors, should have their powers heightened to confront the ultimate villain. This power stems from the Nine Provinces’ heavenly way." "In simple terms, we’re about to level up? Why wait? That's wonderful news!" "The issue is," XingHong indicated the white-haired devil holding the demon blade, "there’s someone here capable of threatening the heavenly way... This matter requires thorough discussion." "Very well," Tang Xin nodded. "I've witnessed the Void Realm’s heavenly way; it’s time to gradually acquaint myself with that of the Nine Provinces." Preparations made, Tang Xin brought Su Ling, Shui Qiu, Zhou Yu, Xu Le Xian, Hua Ya, Xiao Qing, and Nan Xi with her, traversing through space to reach the location XingHong had designated. It was a peculiar secret realm, surrounded by ethereal mist, imbued with celestial aura, reminiscent of a dream. Sensing visitors, a path emerged from the mist. Following it led to a clear pool of water. "I seem to feel the pool calling me," Su Ling noted. "So do I." "Indeed!" "Really? I don't sense anything..." "This should be the Seven Stars Pool," Tang Xin said. "Go on." The girls entered the pool one after another. Nan Xi, the last to enter, turned to Tang Xin before leaving. "Though I arrived last and my connection with you is the weakest… I still wish to thank you for your contributions to this world." "It’s a small matter," Tang Xin replied with a smile. "Additionally, we can grow closer with time." The mists coalesced, enveloping the Seven Stars Pool. A massive surge of energy emanated softly, its oppressive aura something no being could imitate. It was the power of the Nine Provinces, revered by every being born of this land. Tang Xin turned, witnessing a figure materialize from the mist, bearing a striking resemblance to a certain senior sister. "You and the Void Maiden both fancy using my image?" she jested. "Because you are the convergence point of destiny, a special existence to both Void and myself," the Nine Provinces Maiden replied calmly. "Is that so?" Tang Xin seemed skeptical. "What brings you here?" "Do you have regrets?" the Nine Provinces Maiden gestured towards the Seven Stars Pool. "Had you not blocked the chief of the Questioning Heaven Sect as the heavenly way's child, they, instead of these girls, would be facing the Blood Lord." "Regret what? Letting you kill Su Ling and grant the savior’s power to someone else?" Tang Xin smiled faintly. "For gains, there are losses, and with losses come gains," the Nine Provinces Maiden said solemnly. "Had it been so, I'd have greater confidence in halting the calamity." "Discussing past actions serves no purpose," Tang Xin said. "Let's discuss the present." "Indeed," the Nine Provinces Maiden agreed. "Now, I want you to undertake one task..." "I need you… to die."
