I Truly Am The Villian

The Deep Sea Giant Beast saw this scene, its pupils constricted sharply as it let out a long howl to the sky.

The sound waves vibrated the giant waves at the bottom of the sea, creating a silent tsunami roaring above.

The creatures that saw this scene hurriedly drew back, not daring to advance any further.

The appearance of the giant beast was very peculiar; its head resembled that of the Dragon Clan, exuding a vast divine might.

But its body was very similar to that of a turtle, carrying upon it a golden shell.

Watching as the corpse slowly drifted towards it, the giant beast murmured softly, "Is everything in this world truly predestined from the beginning?"

When the corpse arrived alongside the giant beast, it lowered its head to examine the small girl.

Spiritual energy surged upon its body, as waves rose from all around it to the sky, stirring up endless tsunamis that roared towards it.

The golden shell on the giant beast’s back flickered, eventually leading to a box slowly rising from the shell.

The box was pentagonal, covered in a faint black glow.

The giant beast held the box in its hands, and with a "click," it was as if time and space had been traversed, opening the presence of something ancient.

Dust arose into the sky filled with black mist, and the box contained only two things.

A round bead, and a black plaque made of an unknown material.

The moment the box opened, endless killing intent entwined around the black plaque.

A dark glow shot up into the sky, its mighty force leveling the entire sea bottom of the deep sea.

"Little Turtle, why have you awakened me?" A particularly magnetic male voice emerged from the black plaque.

"My lord," the giant beast quickly knelt down, respectfully saying, "The one you have been waiting for, she has come."

Upon hearing the giant beast’s words, boundless black mist wrapped around the black plaque, enveloping Tan Jiulin’s corpse in thick black mist.

"It appears that in this life, the Demon King has eventually emerged," a sigh came from within the black plaque.

"My lord, I have kept the pact we made back then; may I now be free?" the giant beast asked tentatively.

"Wait until she wakes up, and tell her," the voice from the black plaque replied. "I do not have the authority to decide." As the voice faded, the black plaque transformed into a streak of light, rushing into Tan Jiulin’s body.

The boundless black mist enveloped Tan Jiulin, and endless black fog rolled over her body’s surface.

One after another, the black fog shrouded her, eventually forming a large black cocoon.

Inside the cocoon, something seemed to be fermenting, with very clear heartbeats sounding from within.

During this period, each day that passed, endless spiritual energy from the sea bottom would condense and pour into the black cocoon.

This continued for an entire month, until one morning in December.

Snow drifted down from the sky, an icy current sealing the vast expanse of the sea.

Beneath the deep sea right now, a revolutionary change was occurring; the surface of the black cocoon began to crack.

With continuous "crack crack" sounds, the giant beast’s huge pupils fixated on the cocoon in front of it.

With a "boom," the cocoon completely shattered, turning into fragments that filled the sky.

And within this cocoon, the pitch-black glow completely dissipated, and Tan Jiulin slowly opened her eyes, as all anomalies between heaven and earth vanished.

She looked at the giant beast before her, and her face changed drastically in an instant, trembling with fright.

"Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you," the giant beast hurriedly attempted what it considered to be an adorable expression, speaking in a placating manner.

"Where is this?" Tan Jiulin took a few steps back and looked around warily, asking with hand signs.

"You are mute?" The giant beast saw her condition and a golden light rose from its hand, merging into Tan Jiulin’s body.

Immediately after, the birthmark on Tan Jiulin’s face completely disappeared, and she opened her mouth slightly, coughing softly a few times.

"I, I can speak now, I can speak now," Tan Jiulin said somewhat excitedly.

"This is nothing, after seeing this you will understand everything," the black list enveloped in dark mist appeared in front of Tan Jiulin, and a polar light from it merged into her body.

...

At the dawn of the Epoch, the Mythical Era had just entered the enlightenment stage of cultivation.

Three ferocious beasts awoke from the universe, brutal and bloodthirsty, massacring creatures all around.

The common people had cultivated for too short a time and were hardly able to resist.

Until one day, a Shepherd Boy came from a corner of the universe, riding an Azure Ox, merely pointing towards the sky.

A golden radiance shot into the heavens, directly suppressing the three ferocious beasts underneath.

After the golden light suppressed the three beasts, it split their Divine Souls entirely and assimilated them into the light.

Over tens of thousands of years, this golden light, due to the erosion of the resentment from the three ferocious beasts and the absorption of the Essence of the Moon, eventually turned into a list.

It was named "Evil God List."

Because before the black list was formed, it had merged the Divine Souls of the three beasts, thus after the Evil God List appeared, it not only had its own consciousness, but also controlled the fates of the three ferocious beasts.

If the Evil God List erased the Divine Souls of the three beasts that were merged within it, then the ferocious beasts in reality would also die.

These three beasts were the Mixed Yuan Leopard, the Chongming Bird, and the Jiao’ao Turtle.

Back then, the Shepherd Boy left an order for the Jiao’ao Turtle to guard the ocean depths, quietly waiting for the destined one to arrive.

Before leaving, the Shepherd Boy left behind the Evil God List and a spherical bead.

As a reward, when the destined one arrived, the Divine Soul of the Jiao’ao Turtle sealed within the Evil God List could be released, thus gaining freedom.

And this spherical bead was one of the three beads of the Axe Breaker Emperor Body.

...

Upon seeing this memory that had been sealed away, Tan Jiulin stood there dumbfounded for a long time before she finally regained her senses.

"You are the Jiao’ao Turtle?" she asked the giant beast curiously.

"Yes, according to the will left by the Sage back then, as long as I wait for your arrival, I can be freed," the Jiao’ao Turtle hastily replied.

"But what should I do?" asked Tan Jiulin, puzzled.

"I have already become one with you," the voice from inside the Evil God List replied, "All my inheritance has been given to you, take a moment to recollect, and you will understand."

Tan Jiulin nodded quickly, closing her eyes slightly, trying to recall, and she sensed a new memory in her mind.

And this memory taught her how to use the Evil God List and its purpose.

After a while, her body burst with Spiritual Energy, and streams of Spiritual Energy from the universe began to coalesce around her.

Of course, all this was granted to her by the Evil God List; her own realm was merely that of the Condensing Vein Realm.

When the dark Spiritual Energy wrapped around her, she rose into the sky, and the ocean around her surged with massive waves, roaring violently.

This spectacle frightened many creatures at the bottom of the sea into lying flat on the ground, not moving at all, shivering.

Then, holding the Evil God List in her hand, Tan Jiulin waved away relentless Spiritual Energy, and the silhouette of a beast appeared on the surface of the Evil God List.
