I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1012: 373: She escaped, but she stayed there forever, opened a new map

373: she escaped, but she stayed there forever, opened a new mapthey should rightfully bear the calamity caused by the ji chan family. however, at that time, qing yi was still young and unaware of the significance of this catastrophe for the entire ji chan clan. all she knew was that she had been chosen, along with her mother, the high priest, and others, as a sacrifice, becoming a so-called saint. in reality, she was to be sacrificed to the other side, leaving her fate unknown and her future uncertain.

though the ever-kind high priest insisted that being a saint was her supreme honor—an offering to that supreme being and a service by her side—qing yi felt differently. countless individuals fought desperately to be chosen as saints, yet none were deemed worthy. this led her to believe that the priest’s reassurances were mere attempts to calm her fears about escaping.

since ancient times, no one had known what lay beyond the real land. any existence or civilization that dared to approach this realm had been buried in the last ruins, annihilated in the long river of history.

although the ji chan family enjoyed a long lifespan and possessed talents unmatched by other beings, they were still like mere flies in the presence of the real land, easily annihilated and hardly worth mentioning. young qing yi did not fully understand many things. in the ji chan clan, she was cherished by her older sisters and had grown up carefree.

so, when she suddenly learned that she would be sacrificed to the real land, she could hardly accept it. this decision came from her mother and the very sisters who had always shown her love. naturally, the young qing yi was unwilling to accept such a fate, and she was filled with dread at the thought of the real land.

according to ancient traditions, the real land represented the source of darkness and great terror, the ultimate endpoint of all things in the world. when qing yi was conceived and born, she encountered a terrible catastrophe that damaged her innate foundation, leaving her far inferior to her older sisters. in terms of cultivation strength and her understanding and control of the era tree, she lagged behind them significantly.

as a result, qing yi felt that, compared to her sisters, she was the most useless as the younger sibling. willful, arrogant, and reckless, she was seen as the ideal choice for sacrifice. her sisters were destined to become great figures, so how could they be sacrificed? this thought filled young qing yi with deep resentment and led to a rift with her sisters.

ultimately, she resolved to escape from the ji chan clan and refuse her fate as a sacrifice. while she put on a façade of accepting her fate, she secretly plotted her escape.

finally, on the eve of the sacrificial ceremony, qing yi found a suitable opportunity to escape. she not only fled but also took with her an extremely precious spark of immortal civilization from the ji chan clan. this spark would later serve her well in the real world of mountains and seas, acting as the firewood that ignited the immortal cultivation system and laying the foundation for the reproduction and growth of all living beings

for many years, she lived in hiding, consumed by confusion, never returning to the ji chan clan. if it hadn’t been for the woman in black finding her now, it might have been a long time before qing yi would have recalled these memories. the weight of her past filled her with bitterness and guilt, leaving her too afraid to confront them. remembering the absurd and wrong things she had done in her youth only deepened her sense of guilt.

the woman in black was unaware of qing yi’s emotional turmoil. when she asked about the events surrounding the ji chan clan, a look of mockery and bitterness crossed her face.

“after you left the ji chan clan, the ancient hidden civilization was furious and dispatched many powerful individuals to

as for gu xian’er, being a daoist without a dao realm would be somewhat embarrassing. regarding matters in the nine heavens, gu changge had already made arrangements, so he didn’t need to focus on them at the moment. the arrival of the ancient cultivator yuan chan was clearly influenced by the existence of the nine heavens. if it were not an accident, it must involve significant origins and backgrounds, particularly concerning a party reborn in the real world while containing the fire of immortal civilization.

those behind the ancient cultivator yuan chan must have taken note of this and were very interested. before this, barbara, the apprentice gu changge had taken under his wing, also stood behind him. that individual must have recognized these developments early on.

in other words, at least two extremely powerful forces were paying close attention to the current dao chang realm.

gu changge mused.

in his mind, he realized that he really didn’t need to expend much energy on the dao chang realm at this point. instead, he needed to concentrate more on the boundless world.
