Do You Want Me To Be The Villain Like That?? Open Your Eyes And See

Chapter 96: Tianyuan Universe

Amidst the battlefield that was once filled with screams and ruthless slaughter, the foreign races from other worlds suddenly vanished before anyone could comprehend what had happened. They were warped away in an instant. The soldiers and people of the Tianyuan world were left in confusion. Even Feng Yi couldn't understand. She immediately turned toward Jiang Yun, who had just appeared from the void, and she asked in bewilderment.

"What just happened? Why did they disappear?"

Jiang Yun smiled faintly before responding, "It was the work of the Universal Dao, pulling them back."

Feng Yi frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yun didn't answer with words but instead projected his thoughts directly into Feng Yi's mind, speaking softly, "Goodbye, my love."

Feng Yi was momentarily stunned, but after receiving Jiang Yun's internal message, she quickly grasped the situation.

As his words echoed in her mind, the entire Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect vanished as if swept away by the wind, leaving nothing but emptiness in their wake. Amid the confusion and bewilderment of the onlookers, the once bloodthirsty and brutal atmosphere had suddenly transformed into an eerie silence.

All eyes turned to Feng Yi, their minds filled with questions. Initially, they had come to destroy the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, yet now it seemed as though they had somehow cooperated with them.

Feng Yi stood tall, her gaze cold and resolute. She didn't allow the confusion to linger long. Before anyone could voice their questions, she spoke with a firm voice.

"I will explain everything to you..."

Her voice echoed throughout the area. She began to recount a story that demanded everyone's full attention. "It's true that we and the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect were once enemies. That fact cannot be denied. The mock battle we staged was easily seen through as well. I learned this when I followed Jiang Yun into the void. He revealed something to me, something that changed my perspective completely..."

All eyes were fixed on Feng Yi, waiting for the hidden truths she was about to unveil.

"Jiang Yun told me that this fight wasn't just a war between us. There's a much greater force at play, something that none of you yet realize..."

The atmosphere grew silent as everyone absorbed the significance of her words. It was clear that this was only the beginning of something far greater than they had ever imagined.

Standing in the center of the battlefield, Feng Yi radiated an immense strength. With all eyes upon her, she spoke with a commanding tone filled with unwavering determination.

"Do you all know of the Heavenly Dao?"

Yong Xuan responded, "I encountered it once. It told me to help form a fragment world, claiming it was to strengthen Tianyuan."

Many people nodded in agreement. Feng Yi smiled faintly and continued, "But do you all know that every world has its own Heavenly Dao?"

The number of nods gradually decreased. Some people began to look puzzled and surprised by her question.

"Let me clarify this for you. Every world has its own Heavenly Dao, and all the Heavenly Daos across the worlds originate from something even greater—the Universal Dao."

A murmur spread among the soldiers and Immortal Emperors listening. Some appeared confused, while others seemed to be piecing things together.

"The universe is where countless worlds like Tianyuan exist, and the universe we reside in is called Tianyuan. This universe is of the highest level."

Zihao, who had been listening intently, raised his hand to ask, "If we're in the highest-level universe, then there must be other levels, right?"

Feng Yi nodded clearly. "That's right. The universes are divided into five levels: lower, middle, high, highest, and God."

The audience grew more focused, realizing the magnitude of what was being revealed. A sense of mystery and realization began to settle in everyone's minds.

Feng Yi continued, "The Universal Dao of Tianyuan seeks to ascend to the God level, but the path to that ascension is cruel... It requires the death of five out of every ten living beings within the Tianyuan universe."

Mo Ji, standing nearby, asked with a puzzled voice, "How is that even possible?"

Feng Yi glanced around before answering directly. "Have you all seen the Golden List?"

Long Wei, the head of the Immortal Dragon Clan, immediately nodded. "Of course, I'm well aware of it."

Feng Yi spoke coldly, "The Universal Dao has chosen the strongest world within its universe and given the Golden List to the Heavenly Dao of that world. This list was not created to merely elevate us; it was designed to provoke us into fighting, killing, and competing for rewards. You've all seen how it has exposed our secrets and strengths, and what it has triggered among us."

Long Wei nodded and asked, "May I ask something off-topic? Why have the people who should have died come back to life?"

Feng Yi responded, "It was Jiang Yun who revived everyone. But let's set that aside for now."

Feng Yi continued, "The Universal Dao seeks our spiritual energy, cultivation, and everything else we absorb throughout our lives. It can only obtain these energies once we die. When we perish, the Universal Dao absorbs all of our energy back into the universe, which helps it ascend to the next level. However, for those who have cultivation at the Immortal Emperor level or higher, if they die but retain their souls, they may find a new body. But for those with lower cultivation, the Universal Dao will absorb them immediately, and they won't even have the chance for reincarnation."

Everyone listened in silence. Feng Yi went on, "The other races that invaded Tianyuan did so because they knew about the Golden List. The rewards given to our world have made Tianyuan much stronger."

Someone asked, "Is the Golden List alone enough to make them all join forces to attack our world?"

Feng Yi explained further, "I'll give you an example. Imagine Sect 1 and Sect 2 have been equally powerful for millions of years. Many weaker sects also exist, but they don't compare. One day, Sect 1 suddenly receives a power that elevates their strength far beyond Sect 2. Sect 2 knows about this but can neither seize the power nor have the right to access it. What do you think Sect 2 would do?"

Zihao spoke up, "They'd join forces with others to destroy Sect 1 as quickly as possible."

Feng Yi nodded. "Exactly. The other races want to protect their worlds and prevent humans from becoming too powerful. Currently, the universe is balanced, but if Tianyuan becomes significantly stronger with support from the Universal Dao, it will stir envy, fear, and hatred. This will inevitably lead to war between Tianyuan and other worlds, as they won't want to be oppressed by humans. On the other hand, if another world, like the world of the Heavenly Snake race, received that power, would you just stand by and let them grow stronger?"

Everyone shook their heads, and a tense silence settled over the crowd. All eyes remained fixed on Feng Yi as she continued to speak with a serious tone.

"Jiang Yun foresaw the outcome... most of us would likely be killed, and most living beings will perish. The Universal Dao will then collect all the energy from those deaths, and those who survive will benefit from the war."

Long Wei asked, "Why do you think that would be the outcome?"

Feng Yi replied, "Because the Tianyuan universe contains about three billion stars. But don't worry—many of these stars are lifeless. However, Jiang Yun estimates that around 400 million stars do have life. When they attack and slaughter us all, the benefits will not be shared equally, and they'll turn on each other. The Universal Dao will control everything."

Mo Ji muttered, "That doesn't make me feel any better."

Chang Tong added, "But surely not all 400 worlds will come to attack us?"

Feng Yi responded, "Maybe not all at once, but look around our world. Many of the worlds around us are either as strong or slightly weaker than Tianyuan—Spirit World, the world of the Giant Race, the Heavenly Snake world, the Demon Horse world, the Shadow world, and many more. If all those worlds unite to attack us, I estimate that nine out of ten of us will die."

Everyone began to realize the magnitude of the greater scheme. What they had thought was merely a fight for survival was, in fact, part of a grand game orchestrated by the Universal Dao.

They looked around, searching for the Golden List, but all they found was emptiness. The list that had once been a critical source of information had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed. Standing in the middle of the battlefield, Feng Yi gazed confidently at the crowd before speaking again, her voice cold and resolute.

"The most important thing you need to know is this: the Universal Dao has put a bounty on anyone from Tianyuan. Whoever from other worlds kills one of us will receive great rewards. Unfortunately for us, people from Tianyuan cannot claim this reward."

Long Wei looked at Feng Yi and said, "I find that quite unfortunate as well."

His words sparked a ripple of unease among the crowd, but Feng Yi remained steadfast. She smiled and continued.

"Therefore, if you still wish to survive and emerge from this war, I recommend you join my Eternal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty."

Long Wei smiled faintly, shaking his head as he spoke with firm resolve, "I'm afraid my son-in-law is waiting for me, and I would like to have grandchildren soon. Farewell."

With those parting words, Long Wei led the Immortal Dragon Clan away. Chang Tong, the Golden Commerce Guild, Mo Ji, and the forces from the Immortal Demon Emperor's Sacred Land also departed in silence. Feng Yi watched them leave with calm detachment, showing no concern for their decisions. It was as if she had foreseen these events.

Shortly after, the Xue Imperial Family from the Eternal Immortal Continent also chose to withdraw, along with the Immortal Sword Emperor's Sacred Land and their allies. Only those who had decided to join the Eternal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty remained.

The groups all returned to their respective lands, preparing for a war that could erupt at any moment. The silence that followed only served to heighten the growing tension.

In a carriage moving away from the battlefield, Feng Yang sat opposite Feng Yi. He gazed at her with warmth in his eyes, despite being gravely injured from the previous battle.

"Feng Yi..." he spoke with a raspy voice, "there's something I haven't told you yet... about your mother."
