1119 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls
# Chapter 1119: A Future with You At the foot of the mountain, Yu Lingzi and the others waited anxiously. “The last person who tried to communicate with the fundamental will went mad,” Ling Hua jibed. “What if this time also…” “Shut up! If you can't speak properly, don't speak at all!” The Loli Sect Leader shot her an angry glare. “Tang Xin will definitely be fine!” Despite her confident words, even Yu Lingzi felt uncertain in her heart. She understood Tang Xin's character well, having watched her grow up. Every time Tang Xin said, "Why should I care about others? As long as I’m happy, isn’t that enough?" she would inevitably end up risking her life for someone else. That is precisely why so many loyal friends surrounded her. When faced with critical situations, she always chose the option that seemed unfriendly to herself… “She’s coming down!” Ling Hua's shout interrupted Yu Lingzi’s thoughts. Tang Xin descended from the mountain with a smile on her face, waving to them as the atmosphere seemed surprisingly good… Was this encounter going to be different? “How did it go?” the Sect Leader asked. “Well… gather everyone, I have a plan,” Tang Xin replied. … The high-ranks of the alliance were aware that the crisis hadn’t been averted, so they remained ready at any moment. At Yu Lingzi's command, they quickly convened in the main hall of the Sect Leader. “The Sovereign is not invincible,” Tang Xin addressed everyone. “I have a way to eliminate her completely.” “Stop beating around the bush, what's the plan?” “It’s a method I can’t disclose yet,” Tang Xin explained. “I’ve gathered you here to ask for your help. When we confront the Sovereign, I need you to weaken the forces of the Blood Sovereign Hall as much as possible so that I can have a greater chance of success.” Everyone exchanged glances. Is that all? Isn’t this task too easy? Doesn’t it just sound like what we’ve always done before? “Tang Xin…” Someone wanted to probe further but was interrupted by her. “When the time comes, you’ll understand. For now, just trust me and follow my directions.” Given the circumstances, no one dared question Tang Xin's decisions. Wielding both the magic knife and sword, she was not only the mightiest in their realm but also their sole hope. At a time like this, who else was there to trust? The alliance amassed all its strength, larger than ever before, for what would be the final battle. Victory would mean winning everything. Defeat would mean there was nothing else to consider, only the heat of battle. As for the target of their attack… “Mount Myriad Immortals,” Tang Xin identified clearly. “There, the future of this world will be decided.” Mount Myriad Immortals? No one had heard of this place before, nor knew how Tang Xin knew of it. Perhaps, like the last time, it was a unique space created by the Sovereign? Preparations for war proceeded fervently. On the other side, Tang Xin summoned seven young women and took out the Sword of World's End. “Although I can wield the sword, I can't awaken its core,” she said. “Su Ling, why don’t you give it a try?” The sword cultivator nodded and took up the Sword of World's End. The other six linked their energies, channeling them into Su Ling. “I can wield it,” Su Ling answered as she felt the sword, “It’s as if it were tailor-made for me.” “In the destined prophecy, it’s meant for you to strike the final blow,” Tang Xin affirmed. “In your hands, it’s known as the 'Sword of Fate'." “Sword of Fate…” Su Ling caressed the sword’s blade, then suddenly raised her gaze to Tang Xin. “Fate, you…” “I need you to promise me something,” Tang Xin gently pressed her finger against the girl's lips, shaking her head. “Follow your heart’s intuition to strike the sword that opens the path to the future.” Su Ling didn’t answer right away; she simply stared at her. Tang Xin met the gaze of the girl, sincerity like never before in her eyes. “Okay,” Su Ling nodded. “But promise me in return that this future includes you, me, and everyone else!” “Of course,” Tang Xin touched the girl's face with affection, nodding firmly. “I promise you!” … The rallying didn't take long. Forces from every part of the Nine Provinces gathered beneath a towering mountain. Looking up, the summit pierced into the clouds, reminiscent of a heavenly path. “This must be the heart of the Blood Sovereign Hall,” remarked an elder who had scouted ahead. “We’ve detected a large number of their members.” Without their master, they were like headless flies—other than those holed up in the main base, the remaining forces were essentially eradicated by the alliance. Yet as long as the Sovereign lived, they wouldn’t easily surrender. Tang Xin looked back at the long lines of people behind her. Yu Lingzi, Ling Hua, Fei Yao, Xuan Miao, Mu Jianxue, Min Xuan'er, Qing Xuan, Duan Xun, Lian Xin, You Ming'er, Bai Yin, Bai Ling… And many, many more. She drew her magic knife, pointing it towards the mountaintop. “We will forge the world’s future ourselves!” Thud, thud— With the pulsating beat of war drums, the allied forces of righteous, magic, and other races launched an attack on Mount Myriad Immortals. From the mountain, airships of the Blood Sovereign Hall rose, defending their ground with a near desperate will to destroy everything. Tang Xin took in the scene before her deeply. The fate had been sealed… To initiate the “Last Stand” was also part of the destiny bestowed by It. How much sacrifice would this endeavor demand? The insight she gained from confronting the fundamental will undeniably left a pessimistic outlook on the world. “Let’s go.” Tang Xin told the seven young women by her side. She could only hasten this destiny and keep as many of her acquaintances alive to greet the future. Overcoming numerous obstacles, they arrived at the mountain’s peak. “You’re here,” softly spoke the Xuanling Sect Senior Sister, her long black hair gleaming. “You’ve faced It as well, haven’t you?” The Sovereign's demeanor had changed since their last encounter; her decisiveness seemed slightly softened. Tang Xin remained silent, merely unsheathing her magic knife. “It likely told you that to eliminate me, you must complete the predetermined destiny,” the Sovereign spoke calmly. “I needed to become 'Tang Xin' to gain the power to alter the world. But in doing so, my defenses weakened.” She glanced at the seven young women who accompanied Tang Xin. “The flaw lies in all of you.” “You possess the power to destroy Tang Xin. The ultimate truth of this world is that all things have a nemesis.” Having said this, the Sovereign’s expression turned blank but soon contorted into an excited, feral grin. “The realization of emotion… Do you think me cold and devoid of feelings? Yet, I also understand that emotions are the most illogical elements of this world! They disrupt all order!” “Hahaha!” The Sovereign ascended into the sky. Behind her, endless darkness and chaos lurked as if ready to breach barriers and descend upon the world. “It’s because I understand emotions that I’ve come this far!” “Tang Xin, do you truly believe they can strike against me?”
