I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1466: The Harvest Plan is also a win-win situation for her

Time flowed on, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep within Tian Lanxin, an explosive surge of demonic energy erupted behind Barbara, reminiscent of ten thousand demons howling, shaking the very heavens and earth. A Dao rune, crystal clear yet shrouded in darkness, flickered between her brows, causing her aura to rise and shift dramatically.

In an instant, the sky transformed; it grew dim, and the stars seemed to fade. Countless auras of heaven and earth surged relentlessly around her. Almost immediately, waves of thunder began to clash, rolling toward her with an overwhelming force.

The skies darkened further, and the oppressive energy, capable of annihilating worlds, filled the air, sending shockwaves through the universe and striking fear into the hearts of all who sensed it.

Rumble!!!

Lightning bolts rained down one after another, accompanied by a multitude of terrifying visions that unfolded before her. Ancient gods, immortals, and primordial demons materialized, along with mountains and grand palaces, all converging toward Barbara.

Clad in white, she rose to face the oncoming tribulation. The terrifying visions surged through the universe surrounding the living star, sweeping outward into the greater cosmos.

The sky was ablaze with radiant light and torrents of thunder, punctuated by the manifestation of ancient temples, thunder pools, and primordial chaotic light. Amidst this vast and tumultuous thunderous calamity, an imposing and eternal demon loomed behind Barbara, casting a watchful gaze over everything.

With a raised palm, he commanded silence throughout the realm. The boundless torrents of thunderous light shattered into fragments under the weight of his power, scattering into the void.

“Immortal King Tribulation…”

“The level of this Immortal King Tribulation is truly terrifying. I wonder which genius is undergoing such a trial.”

In an instant, the entire universe trembled, drawing the gaze of countless cultivators and creatures toward that direction. The many servants and cultivators affiliated with Barbara were filled with excitement and anticipation.

The Yanyang Realm’s territory was vast. Although it had long since lost its former glory, it remained one of the most powerful realms, encompassing a multitude of universes and worlds within its dominion.

At that moment, within Jiesheng Temple, Wunian Mountain, and Wangsheng Cave, powerful beings sensed the fluctuations of luck emanating from the event and gazed upon it in astonishment.

“It’s such a terrifying demonic energy…”

“Looks like it’s from the Zhou Mie Mansion; another great talent has emerged.”

Across the realms and the universe, many observers were left in shock, unable to suppress their awe. In the depths of Zhou Mie Mansion, the Palace Master opened his eyes wide in surprise. He gazed through layers of time, space, and the cosmos, both shocked and pleasantly surprised.

“Barbara’s talent exceeds all my expectations. This is how she has managed to break through to become a true immortal. In less than a few decades, she has already faced the tribulation of the Immortal King…”

“Is that why she can be considered a variable?”

“However, that phantom gives me a sense of unease and palpitation. I can’t discern where she acquired such an inheritance.”

“Or perhaps this is the innate vision she has awakened.”

The master of Zhou Mie Mansion scrutinized the phantom amidst the thunderous calamity, his brow furrowing in concentration as he attempted to deduce its origins.

However, that phantom, like Barbara’s fate, remained elusive and instilled an unspeakable sense of terror within him. It felt familiar, as though he had glimpsed it in some ancient texts. His frown deepened, and a sense of unease settled in; it was as if he were overlooking something significant.

“I have successfully broken through to the realm of the Immortal King; these restrictions can no longer stop me.”

In the depths of the sky, the thunder and calamity gradually dissipated, revealing Barbara’s figure as she descended. With each step she took, the myriad restrictions surrounding this star of life collapsed in her wake. Her slender hands effortlessly tore apart the fabric of the universe, and she soon vanished from sight.

Watching this unfold, the master of Zhou Mie Mansion refrained from taking any action to stop her; he allowed Barbara to leave. He understood that this half-month had been pivotal enough to alter many aspects of their world.

However, with Barbara’s strength, even if she could locate the boundless coordinates of the real world of mountains and seas, rushing there would still take an enormous amount of time—at least tens of millions of years could be expected.

“Now that Barbara has become the Immortal King, it’s time for the battle for Daoist sons to commence.”

The master of Zhou Mie Mansion, having dismissed his lingering thoughts about the source of the phantom that unsettled him, turned his attention to the upcoming competition. He ordered the initiation of the contest for the position of Daoist in this world. This competition had been postponed for far too long, as he had been waiting for Barbara to achieve her Immortal King status.

In the time and space of the universe where the Zhou Mie Mansion was situated, numerous geniuses, whose cultivation levels had already surpassed that of the Immortal King, began to receive news of the impending competition one after another.

“I didn’t expect Zhao Xiuyan to break through to the Immortal King realm so quickly—much faster than I imagined. However, even if she is the first to pass the reincarnation trial, the position of Daoist in this world belongs to me, and no one can take it away.”

On a renowned mountain, a man in a brocade robe stepped out of a cave. His deep-set eyes and extraordinary demeanor reflected his confidence as he gazed toward the direction of the thunderstorm. Barbara’s original name was Zhao Xiuyan, and over the years, various rumors and news about her had circulated throughout the universe under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Mie Mansion. Many geniuses regarded her as a formidable competitor for the position of Daoist.

Similar sentiments were echoing in other locations. Now that Barbara had successfully stepped into the realm of the Immortal King, she was undoubtedly qualified to vie for the position of Daoist, and subsequently, for the role of Young Palace Master of Zhou Mie Mansion. In this establishment, there could only be one Daoist at any given time, and the Young Palace Master was selected from among the Daoists.

Some Daoists had cultivated for countless years, their strength comparable to—or even surpassing—that of ordinary Dao Realm beings. With the initiation of the Daoist competition, turbulent waves of excitement began to ripple through the universes and worlds associated with the Zhou Mie Mansion.

“Successfully broken through to the Immortal King?”

Far beyond the endless expanse of the Yanyang Realm, Gu Changge observed as a crystal-clear mirror, formed from the principles of Daoism, shattered instantly. The many scenes of Barbara that had been reflected in the mirror dissipated into nothingness.

Gu Changge had been monitoring Barbara’s progress closely, wary that the changes in her fate—brought about by the Hongmeng Golden Book he had left behind—might draw attention from others. At this moment, he sensed the shift in her aura and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He was not surprised; after all, the Hongmeng Golden Book was a treasure he had crafted based on a book he had once found. It served as a tailor-made golden finger for Barbara.

However, the true function of the Hongmeng Golden Book was to harvest the luck of the Yanyang Realm.

Barbara herself was a person of great luck, destined for a different fate. With the help of the Hongmeng Golden Book, it was as if a tiger had gained wings. The stronger she became, the more luck she would collect and harvest for Gu Changge.

However, Gu Changge did not merely view Barbara as a tool; this relationship benefitted both sides. He could harvest the luck of the Yanyang Realm, while Barbara could grow and become stronger quickly. It was a mutually advantageous situation.

The Yanyang Realm was quite far from his current location, and Gu Changge didn’t have the time or energy to travel there directly. Instead, he opted for a more gradual approach, planning to nibble away at the realm’s fortunes.

Now, he could clearly sense strands of luck being harvested by the Hongmeng Golden Book in the Yanyang Realm. It was evident that Barbara had already begun using the book to seek opportunities and fortune for herself, requiring little input from Gu Changge at this stage.

“Next, I can free my hands to open the gap in Xi Yuan civilization,” he thought, shifting his gaze to the other side.
