The improved female villains regained their memories.

"What, do you need any cleanup services or anything? No, I'm just a cat, I can't help you wipe your butt."

Yang Pingsheng was shocked. Was this still the same loyal supporter of the Heavenly Dao? Not only did his words reveal irresponsibility, but the cat's entire attitude showed that he was going to give up.

"Hey! What do you mean by cleaning up my mess? Don't you know why she came to my door? You were the one who devised the plan, always saying that justice will prevail, and now that she's regained her memory and wants to settle scores with me, you're just going to ignore it?!"

"...That still needs to be addressed. After all, you are a member of the Heavenly Dao, so of course we can't just stand by and watch you get killed by the female villain."

The black cat, unusually serious, pondered for a moment before speaking: "If all else fails, let's run away."

"?"

Yang Pingsheng almost burst out laughing: "Where are you running to?"

"Go anywhere you want. I'll find you another place and then help you check how they found you, to see if we can cut off the connection."

"What about Wen Shihan? He's just going to ignore him?"

"Hmm..." The black cat remained silent.

Yang Pingsheng became serious: "Has something happened to the Heavenly Dao?"

If Heaven hadn't encountered a problem, the system wouldn't have adopted this attitude.

During his ninth incarnation, he sensed something was wrong.

In previous incarnations, the system would often laugh with a gloomy grin, its words brimming with confidence and pride in its masterful control of the Heavenly Dao. But in the middle of the ninth incarnation, the system's attitude changed. Not only did it hastily conclude the mission of that world, but it also urged Yang Pingsheng to quickly express his wish so it could leave immediately.

Its excuse was that it needed to find another host as soon as possible, but now it seems that it was indeed just an excuse.

The Heavenly Dao may have encountered problems when he was carrying out his ninth incarnation's mission.

"Hey, how should I put it... it's not exactly an accident. It's the way of Heaven, how can you describe it in terms of whether something has happened or not?"

Black Cat said, shaking his head, "In short, there's no need to worry too much. Now that this has happened, I certainly won't ignore it. On the bright side, even if Wen Shihan regains his memories, so what? With the world's will suppressing him, nothing will go wrong."

Yang Pingsheng was speechless: "If the world's will is reliable, why not just let it go directly on the original timeline? Why would I be needed?"

"This……"

That cannot be refuted.

But I really don't have any good ideas.

The most important thing now is to figure out how Wen Shihan's memories were restored, and how much of them were restored.

Regarding this, Black Cat had an idea: "If all else fails, let's first communicate with the world will where Wen Shihan is located, and find out the situation before making any further decisions?"

"...Why didn't you say you had this function earlier? Just ask."

"Tsk."

The black cat smacked its lips and closed its eyes.

After a while, it opened its eyes, its gaze looking somewhat innocent.

Yang Pingsheng asked, "How is it?"

The black cat blinked: "Can't get in touch with them."

It's completely ruined. The system has transformed from the mastermind behind the scenes into a harmless cat.

"This fish is good, can we have another plate?"

And she's turned into a foodie!

Yang Pingsheng slapped away the cat's restless paw and said with a dark expression, "Give me a solution quickly, or we won't get anything to eat."

"...Isn't this putting me in a difficult position? You say I have no abilities whatsoever, and I can't bring anyone with me when I jump between worlds. The only reason I'm here is because of my sense of responsibility. Besides, I don't think you need to worry too much. Even if the world's will is unreliable, jumping between worlds isn't that simple. Wen Shihan might not be able to succeed."

This is probably where the system's confidence comes from.

In the original timeline, no matter how powerful Wen Shihan was, she hadn't reached the point of being able to cross worlds. It's true that she caused the world's will to collapse, but she was also confined to one world and couldn't escape it.

Yang Pingsheng wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly a feeling of weakness came from the depths of his soul. Then, everything went black, and he fell into a coma.

He was very familiar with this situation; he always felt this way before traversing different worlds.

But it felt different from his experience of traveling through the world; this feeling was more like...

He's been locked down.

Someone tagged him.

Chapter Twenty-One: Elder Brother

A void space.

Legend has it that from nothingness came something, and in this process, the Dao of Heaven arose. However, the origin of the Dao of Heaven is even more advanced than nothingness; it is hidden within the Gate of All Wonders, existing before both nothingness and something, and can be directly traced back to the earliest wondrous energy.

In the void, Yang Pingsheng's soul drifted, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared.

The light magnified, and then a gentle breeze blew by.

Amidst swirling mists, Yang Pingsheng stood in the middle of the mountain path, surrounded by cliffs covered in wildflowers of all kinds. A breeze blew in his face, and at the end of the path lay a cave halfway up the mountain.

"..."

He looked at himself, and sure enough, it was in the form of a soul.

"system?"

He called out tentatively, but there was no response.

If it wasn't the system that did this, then why am I here? And more importantly, where am I?

As he was thinking, someone walked up behind him.

It was a woman, dressed in black without any adornment, her single ponytail swaying in the wind, exuding a capable and profound air.

Her eyes were as black as an abyss, surrounded by a bloody aura, making her look like she had just returned from killing someone.

Yang Pingsheng turned his head and froze.

Warm in nature, but cold in reality.

She looks the same as before, but her temperament is completely different.

I saw her just last night. She had grown taller and more beautiful. Although she spoke fiercely while holding Xiaoyu hostage, her eyes held the joy of having something lost and found again.

Now, all she exudes is profoundness.

She walked without looking to the side, passing by Yang Pingsheng's body and entering the cave not far away. Yang Pingsheng quickly followed.

The cave was cold and damp, with strange Taoist marks carved around it. Inside the cave, besides a stone table and chairs, there was also a memorial tablet standing not far away.

[Elder Brother - Yang Pingsheng]

He saw his memorial tablet standing there, with several pieces of flower tea cakes in front of it.

here it is?

Yang Pingsheng stood there in a daze. He saw Wen Shihan step forward, his hands covered in blood, place another piece of flower tea cake on the memorial tablet, and then gently wipe the dust off the tablet.

She hummed a song, a slight smile playing on her lips, as she uttered words no one could understand.

"Eat up, this is your favorite."

However, when he turned his head, his dark eyes were like an abyss.

As if they had already experienced a great deal, the demon from the original timeline and Wen Shihan at this moment merged into one, becoming a new entity.

The spiritual energy made her hair flutter, and a black dragon formed from yin spiritual energy coiled around her. The bursts of blood light were the wails of those who died at her hands.

What kind of goals should a person pursue in their life?

Power, status, wealth, honor.

All these things come together and point to the pinnacle.

Humans have their peaks, and that supreme peak requires enduring countless moments of solitude, giving it your all, exhausting your energy, and expending your soul before you can finally reach it.

In this process, you must stop at nothing.

Through hard work, adaptability, and control, one can continuously change their environment, become more excellent, and eventually reach the pinnacle.

You have to give up friendship, love, and family in exchange for continuous progress and transcendence.

However, what will happen when the peak becomes a false one and the Heavenly Dao changes its target?

Climbers who will stop at nothing to reach the top.

She no longer clings to that false peak, but instead clings to the person from back then.

The system's plan ultimately led Yang Ping to a goal.

Years later, Wen Shihan, recalling everything, still becomes a female villain. She destroys everything by any means necessary, her ultimate goal being to find her brother.

The girl untied her long hair, letting it fall freely, and pressed her bright red lips into a thin line.

"Brother, you're watching me, aren't you?"

Yang Pingsheng was startled as he watched Wen Shihan walk towards him step by step.

Then, it stopped.

"Brother..."

In a daze, Yang Pingsheng saw Wen Shihan as a child.

In the dark alley, the two held hands, and Wen Shihan asked, "Um... how should I address you?"

"I don't have a younger sister, so from now on you'll be my younger sister, so call me older brother."

"Brother?"

"Let's call it that, it's fine."

Good.

Yes, that's good.

Yang Pingsheng remembered that he was the one who had asked her to call him "elder brother".

The two of them stepped into the sunlight as brother and sister.

"Brother, would you abandon Xiaohan?"
