Has the Female Lead Turned Villainous Today? [Quick Transmigration] 79

Chapter 079: World Three [End] + World Four [1]

The battles between the ability users and the evolvers, Ling Yilin’s participation was not high. She would only show up when the other party was in her face.

Ling Yilin made it clear that she was at ease. This had once caused some objections, and some had tried to use public opinion to coerce her, to force her to make a move on the front lines and help repel the evolvers.

Ling Yilin did not spoil them. Anyone who rushed to her and tried to morally blackmail her was either taken away by a bullet from her or was split into black charcoal by her.

After her decisive reputation spread, the living learned to shut up. Everyone only dared to pinch the soft persimmons.

So the mainstream opinion quickly became—Ling Yilin being in the safe zone was a good thing. There was no need to worry about the evolvers overrunning this place. As long as they didn’t leave their homes, they were safe!

During the ceasefire period, the things that should have been restored in the territory of the Human Alliance were almost restored. However, with the universalization of abilities, some methods also changed.

Ling Yilin and Meng Jiuge were the ones who were least affected, because they seemed to be getting more and more homebound. After online shopping became popular again, most of the visitors were robots with packages.

Ling Yilin really liked her little lover. This was beyond doubt. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been sticking to her side all day doing nothing.

However, Ling Yilin had no intention of letting go of the world core. The coexistence of the two civilizations had put the world core in a very delicate position. The world consciousness was half-dead, and the world core’s energy was crazily dissipating.

All of this energy was taken in by Ling Yilin to repair her body. After a long time, the total harvest was not less than devouring a core that was about to be destroyed.

But while Ling Yilin’s power was increasing, Meng Jiuge, who had a certain connection with the world consciousness, seemed to be getting weaker.

With the explosive increase in the number of ability users and evolvers, the time Meng Jiuge slept every night also became longer and longer. Sometimes she would even fall asleep while doing it, which was something that had never happened before.

Ling Yilin tried to find the reason. She chose to try to send her own power into Meng Jiuge’s body.

This was useful in the short term, but the power in Meng Jiuge’s body was quickly taken away by the world consciousness, leaving only a little for her.

This meant that unless Ling Yilin gave up the energy that was dissipating from this world, or kept infusing energy into Meng Jiuge, the time she slept would become longer and longer.

【Master, the world consciousness and Meng Jiuge are deeply bound. If the world consciousness perishes, Meng Jiuge will also fall into an eternal sleep.】

“How long do you think the world consciousness can last?” Ling Yilin asked.

【Originally, this world was going to be destroyed, but your intervention has given this world some extra time. The world consciousness that should have died did not die, and there is no sign of a new world consciousness being born.】

【If the current situation continues, perhaps the new world consciousness will merge with the undead world consciousness. At that time, Meng Jiuge will either continue to be the protagonist or disappear completely.】

【The new world consciousness will be born in ten years at the earliest, and the slowest is indefinite.】

Ling Yilin did not speak, but pulled Meng Jiuge, who was sleeping against her, closer into her arms.

It was already the tenth year of the ceasefire. According to the agreement, the war would start again in three months.

“If the number of ability users and evolvers decreases, it will make the world consciousness be born slower, right?” Ling Yilin muttered to herself.

【Yes. If the state of war is maintained, it will take at least sixty years for a new consciousness to be born.】

Ling Yilin slowly fiddled with the loose strands of hair on Meng Jiuge’s forehead with her fingers, her eyes lowered as she fell into deep thought.

For Ling Yilin, granting a human a long life was a very simple matter. She just needed to change the other’s race and let her soul be connected to her.

A human’s body would age and rot, but the soul and will in the shell could be immortal.

But Ling Yilin had not yet conquered the three thousand worlds. She had not defeated the enemies in the void, she had not subdued the world consciousness. Her journey had just begun.

Souls also had strengths and weaknesses. This was something that needed to be accumulated slowly over time, not something that could be achieved overnight.

If Ling Yilin were to embark on her journey with a concern, Meng Jiuge, who was connected to her, would be targeted. Her soul was too weak and might be crushed in an instant, or she might be imprisoned and suffer endless pain.

This was not the ending that Ling Yilin wanted to see, so she had given up the idea of binding Meng Jiuge again and again.

Hmm? Did she want to turn Meng Jiuge into a subordinate?

That was still the original concern. What was needed between a superior and a subordinate was absolute loyalty, not love that was maintained by feelings.

“Ling Yilin…” the sleeping person muttered, and then a silly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. “Don’t you leave me~”

“Yes,” Ling Yilin replied, and re-messed up the loose strands of hair she had just tidied.

Forget it. Let’s just proceed according to the original plan and accompany Meng Jiuge through her ordinary life.

**

Ability users and evolvers were each other’s recipes. The battle between them was destined to be endless.

When the number of councilors in the Human Alliance expanded from twenty to thirty, the two sides were fighting. When Zheng Fanghua retired after twenty years in power, they were still fighting.

The person who took over from Zheng Fanghua was her daughter, Zheng Jin, who had successfully returned after struggling on the front lines for three years.

Ling Yilin wanted to get rid of the useless title on her, but was persuaded by Zheng Jin. To let Ling Yilin have no burden, Zheng Yu was dragged over to become the deputy speaker. Anything that Zheng Yu could handle would absolutely not trouble Ling Yilin.

This result was barely satisfactory to Ling Yilin. She did not pursue it and instead focused on staying at home with Meng Jiuge, who slept for twelve hours a day.

The smart Meng Jiuge had long realized that there was a problem with her body, but she couldn’t find the reason. After going to the hospital for a routine physical examination three times, she still couldn’t find the reason.

“Ling Yilin, don’t you leave me, okay?” Meng Jiuge said, her arms around Ling Yilin tightening.

So what if she was in her forties? Meng Jiuge still loved to act spoiled, and she didn’t look like she was even thirty. Her little face was very tender.

“Okay. Only death will separate us,” Ling Yilin said. Every answer she gave was the same.

The ability users and the evolvers were fighting a fierce battle, while Ling Yilin and Meng Jiuge were lying flat and slacking off at home every day.

The length and thickness of their lives were already much higher than ordinary people. According to relevant research, both evolvers and ability users were expected to live to one hundred and eighty.

As a supplement, the result of this relevant research, the answer given five years ago was that they were expected to live to one hundred and seventy.

The lives of the ability users and the evolvers had become longer, but Meng Jiuge’s had not.

The spring water could nourish her body, but it couldn’t stand the world consciousness extracting the ‘protagonist’s’ power.

In the end, Ling Yilin did not bind herself to Meng Jiuge, so her life was fixed at eighty-eight.

The moment before she died, Meng Jiuge seemed to have a feeling. She got up from her recliner and lay on her lover’s body, face to face.

“Can I leave a little something on you?” Meng Jiuge buried her head in the crook of Ling Yilin’s neck, her voice sounding muffled.

“Your ashes, or a bone?” Ling Yilin asked. She had not forgotten what Meng Jiuge had once said.

“The phalanx of my left ring finger. Refine it into something beautiful and hang it on your neck as a pendant, okay?” Meng Jiuge said while rubbing Ling Yilin’s neck with the tip of her nose. This was an action she had repeated countless times, at least three times a day.

Even at eighty-eight, Meng Jiuge was still an obedient, harmless, and spoiled existence in front of Ling Yilin.

“Okay. I will remember that it is a pendant that cannot be lost,” Ling Yilin promised.

After leaving this world, she would still discard the memories and feelings that should be discarded, but this phalanx would be preserved in another form.

“Yay~ That way, I can be with you forever~” Meng Jiuge’s voice revealed her joy.

Then Meng Jiuge no longer spoke, but just tried hard to get close to Ling Yilin, cherishing every remaining breath. It seemed that she wanted to remember Ling Yilin’s scent through this simple repetition.

Not just the scent of her body, Meng Jiuge wanted to remember the scent of her soul even more.

**

【Master, our power has almost been restored. Should we go to some worlds with relatively abundant energy next and devour the world core energy?】

“Yes. You can pick,” Ling Yilin was a little absent-minded. She was playing with the extra thing on her neck.

A transparent phalanx. Ling Yilin didn’t remember where this pendant came from, but when she saw it, she would subconsciously feel that this was something she couldn’t discard.

It was clearly not a magic weapon, nor was it an energy core. Why couldn’t she discard it?

Ling Yilin couldn’t think of a reason, but she followed her subconscious reaction. After playing with it, she put it back into her clothes, letting this phalanx stick to her skin.

It was quite interesting. A bone without a soul was actually warm.

【Master, there is a modern supernatural world where humans and demons coexist. Occasionally, there will be ghosts causing trouble. There are all sorts of messy things. You might be able to enter directly with your main body, without needing to obtain an original inhabitant’s identity.】

“Are you sure? If it’s modern, it should be the human’s home ground, right? Shouldn’t the demons and ghosts be a little more low-key?” Ling Yilin was a little skeptical.

【Please wait, Master. I’ll go and investigate.】

Ling Yilin hummed in acknowledgment. After waiting for a while, she couldn’t help but take out that phalanx again.

Why did she have to keep such a bone? Was it for warmth? On closer inspection, there seemed to be many defensive arrays on it.

Ling Yilin recognized the arrays on it. They were something she had researched and figured out herself. It required a lot of power to complete and was usually used on very important objects.

Ling Yilin’s thoughts wandered for a little while, and then Xiao Qi came back from its investigation.

【Master, there is spiritual energy in this world, but not much. The place that the gods have opened up has gone to a higher world, and its connection with this world is relatively shallow. The true body cannot descend.】

【The human high-level officials are aware of the existence of the gods, but to maintain social stability, while promoting atheism, they have established a corresponding special affairs administration. Once it involves non-scientific power, it is all managed by this special administration.】

【This special administration has the support of the gods. The cultivators, fairies, ghosts, etc. in the small world all have to register with the special administration and receive the corresponding ID card to walk in the human world.】

“Will those demons and ghosts be obedient?” Ling Yilin was a little surprised.

【More than half of the members of the special administration are great demons and great ghosts, and they also have connections with the underworld. It can be considered a multi-racial institution that has borrowed the human’s official system. All races have big shots in it, which can be considered to restrain their own people.】

【If you want to go in, Master, you probably need to suppress your strength a little. If your strength is too high, it might attract the attention of the gods, and the gods live in a high-level plane. Their intervention will bring you a little trouble.】

Under Xiao Qi’s explanation, Ling Yilin also had a pretty good idea of the situation. After thinking about it, she still decided to play it safe. What she wanted was to devour the energy in a reasonable way without alerting the guardians.

【Master, the protagonist chosen by the world consciousness has just come of age. There is still some time before her talent is discovered by the people of the Xuanmen. Does Master want to choose a cultivator’s identity and accept the protagonist as a disciple?】

“Accept a disciple?” Ling Yilin hesitated for a moment, subconsciously resisting this choice.

【Master, don’t you think that cultivating a protagonist is a very interesting thing? To make the protagonist trust and admire you from the bottom of her heart, that way, you can devour the world core energy as you please. As long as you don’t eat half of it in one go, the world consciousness will turn a blind eye.】

Xiao Qi felt that its train of thought was exceptionally active. It didn’t even need to think much, and a wonderful idea just appeared in its mind, very skilled.

“No. The risk of raising an adult is very high. At the age of eighteen, her three views have almost been finalized. There’s no need to choose to accept a disciple at this time,” Ling Yilin touched the phalanx in her clothes and rejected this seemingly very good proposal.

【Then the protagonist will appear as a reclusive great demon? The special administration’s jurisdiction over reclusive great demons is very weak. As long as you don’t kill in public, it’s fine.】

“Yes. Then pick a few who are about to die and have a relatively low presence,” Ling Yilin did not object this time.

【Master, I’ve found them. One is a fairy transformed from a plant. She has outlived people who were more powerful than her with her long lifespan, but her lifespan is also coming to an end. The advantage is that she has no wishes, and the disadvantage is that her attack power is limited.】

【There is also a tiger demon who seems to have been backstabbed by a good friend. She has a part of the divine beast White Tiger’s bloodline, is mainly for killing, and has a very strong attack power. She is an old senior of the demon race and is already on the administration’s list.】

【Which one do you want to choose, Master?】

“The second one. Lock on the tiger demon’s position,” Ling Yilin said.

Did she even have to choose? One had a weak attack power, and the other had a strong attack power. She naturally had to choose the latter. That way, she would have more room to play.

**

“If I remember correctly, you should also be cultivators registered with the administration, right? To treat me like this, aren’t you afraid that after I send a message to the demon race, the human and demon races will have a falling out?” The white-haired woman clutched her chest, her lowered eyes full of ruthlessness.

Standing opposite the white-haired woman were two men in Taoist robes, with smug smiles on their faces.

“Hahaha, how ridiculous. You are just a great demon registered with the administration. In the end, only Xuan Qing knows you. As long as she says that you are in seclusion, who will pursue your whereabouts?”

“As for sending a message, we have already set up an array. This is something I exchanged for with all my contribution points. It’s from the hands of your demon race’s array master. It’s very reliable!”

“Senior brother, don’t waste your breath on her. Delays will cause changes. It’s better to kill this tiger demon early and be at ease. There are many treasures on a tiger demon. It can give us many more magic weapons!”

“That’s true. Then don’t blame me for being merciless…”

Pfft—

Before the Taoist-robed man could finish his words, they flew out while spitting blood. Their bodies hit the array and they directly lost consciousness.

“Who? Who is it?” The white-haired woman looked around vigilantly.

“You are going to die,” Ling Yilin appeared in front of the white-haired woman and looked down at her. “Instead of self-destructing your inner core and taking them with you, why not give me your identity and memory? How about I kill your enemies for you?”

“My identity and memory?” The white-haired woman repeated, then laughed. “You want to possess me?”

“No, not possession. I just need your identity,” Ling Yilin said. For a dying demon, she was still very tolerant.

The white-haired woman subconsciously frowned, and then she saw a shocking scene. The person with black hair and red eyes in front of her, in the blink of an eye, turned into her appearance, and even the bloodstains on her chest were exactly the same.

“Who are you?” The white-haired woman’s eyes were full of vigilance. What kind of transformation technique was this? Why didn’t she feel any spell fluctuations?

“A person who is making a deal with you,” Ling Yilin said. “Besides these two, is there another enemy of yours, Xuan Qing?”

“No. Xuan Qing is not that kind of person. We have known each other for a very, very long time. She will not betray me,” the white-haired woman shook her head.

Ling Yilin raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest in her eyes. “You trust her very much. Does she also know you very well?”

It was very simple to hide from others, but it was a little troublesome to hide from a close friend. Should she change her target? Or should she kill that Xuan Qing as well?

“I can make a deal with you, but you can’t make a move on Xuan Qing,” the white-haired woman’s reaction was very fast. She directly reached out and grabbed Ling Yilin. “You can use my identity as you please. Xuan Qing will not suspect you.”

“What guarantee do you have?” Ling Yilin asked.

“After you get my memory, you will know why. You can very easily replace my identity, and Xuan Qing will also cooperate with you. This is true!” the white-haired woman said.

Ling Yilin frowned and thought. If she needed to hide from the world consciousness, it was best if no original inhabitant knew. Did she need to take the risk?

“My identity is very useful. If you want to infiltrate the administration, my identity is the most useful. I am just a registered person. My detailed information has not yet been recorded. You can modify it as you please and record your own abilities. As long as your face and race are right, it’s fine.”

The white-haired woman gripped the corner of Ling Yilin’s clothes tightly. “I will voluntarily give you my memory, and my private collection will also be given to you without reservation.”

“I only have one request. After you replace me, don’t make a move on Xuan Qing. I don’t care if you help me get revenge or not. I only have this one request.”

The white-haired woman’s intuition told her that she was definitely no match for the person in front of her. Although she didn’t know why she had taken a fancy to her identity, she absolutely could not anger the other party. She could only use what she needed to exchange for a harmless promise.

【Master, this white tiger’s strength is quite strong. If it weren’t for being poisoned, a hundred Foundation Establishment stage cultivators tied together would not be enough for her to fight.】

【If she is willing to proactively give her identity and memory to you, Master, you will also have more room to play.】

“Alright. If you are not lying, I promise you that I will not proactively make a move on Xuan Qing,” seeing that the white tiger’s strength was strong enough, Ling Yilin relented.

“What do I need to do?” the white-haired woman asked.

Ling Yilin waved her hand, and a contract that only the two of them could see appeared in the air. “Just sign your name. This is an agreement between us. If you lie to me, I will make it so that you don’t even have a chance to be reincarnated.”

The white-haired woman was so scared that her golden vertical pupils appeared. Only after forcing herself to read the contract did she sign her name.

With the last stroke, the white-haired woman turned into her original form, a white tiger about five meters long and two meters high. The original form only lasted for less than a second before it turned into a phantom and disappeared, leaving only a storage ring.

Ling Yilin closed her eyes and fully accepted the white-haired woman’s memory. It was a memory of over a thousand years, from birth to the present.

Three seconds later, Ling Yilin opened her eyes, and a stream of light flashed in her amber eyes. “Interesting. A white tiger actually dared to devour a demon with phoenix bloodline and successfully obtained the other’s nirvana rebirth skill.”

【Master, I can lock on her position. No matter how many times she is reborn through nirvana, she can’t escape.】

“No need. Nirvana rebirth requires a price. She will lose all her memories and abilities and become a white tiger that has just opened its eyes,” Ling Yilin said.

“The tiger race can also be considered a prosperous race. It’s very normal to have one more cub. It has no impact on me,” Ling Yilin picked up the ring that had fallen on the ground, played with it for a while, and then also made an identical ring and directly put it on the middle finger of her left hand.

A sensible tiger that had helped her avoid a lot of trouble, Ling Yilin would not kill it to the last. She was willing to give the other party a way out.

Ling Yilin’s gaze fell on the two still-unconscious cultivators. After thinking for a moment, she flicked a wisp of flame from her fingertip and directly ignited the flesh on the two’s bodies.

The pain of their bodies being burned made the two wake up from their unconsciousness and let out extremely shrill screams.

“My master is a guest elder of the administration! After you make a move, my master will not let you go! Ah!”

The two screamed shrilly while making threats, as if by doing so, they could have a chance of survival.

Ling Yilin just watched as a bystander as the flames devoured the two, not just their bodies, but also their souls, eliminating the possibility of them being reincarnated or resurrected.

After the annoying sound disappeared, Ling Yilin looked down at her own clothes.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yilin chose to lie flat. She broke the array that had isolated the spiritual power, and then, without any concealment, released a spell, causing a bolt of lightning to appear out of thin air in the originally clear sky.

What she needed to do next was to wait for the people from the administration to come and find her, who had been ambushed and injured.
