I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

"Weird?"

Ji Zhaoze frowned slightly and nodded: "This formation seems to have the power to defy fate."

"Defying fate???" This completely shocked Yun Qingyi. Not only Yun Qingyi, but Yun Qingrou also widened her eyes slightly upon hearing this.

"Senior brother, are you joking?"

Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, Ji Zhaoze's expression turned serious, and he shook his head: "No."

“However, although this method seems to have the effect of changing names against the heavens, it is very strange, and it seems that it is necessary to use…” As if he had thought of something, Ji Zhaozhe looked at Tusuo in shock.

"What do we need?" Seeing that Ji Zhaoze didn't continue, Yun Qingyi asked while following his gaze.

The spells floating all around had become faintly tangible, seemingly possessing a tactile quality that could be touched.

The mermaid princess was placed on a seashell bed by Tuso at some point. She was delirious, and strange blue patterns seemed to shimmer on her body. The color of her eyes had also become abnormal.

Before Yun Qingyi could react to the scene, many souls and essences floated over from all around.

"These...these souls!" Aren't these the souls of the merfolk who died outside? Even the soul of the Merfolk King is inside.

Looking at the souls being manipulated and controlled by Tuso, Yun Qingyi was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Ji Zhaoze's voice was deep and calm as he answered Yun Qingyi's earlier question: "The sacrifice must be made using the blood and souls of our own kind, as well as the divine consciousness and spirit of the one who set up the formation."

"What a grand game of chess." As if she had figured something out, Yun Qingyi looked at Tusuo with a complex expression.

At this moment, Tuso ignored Yun Qingyi and the others, and seemed not to have heard their conversation. Perhaps he heard it, but he didn't care. He was focused on using the array to transform the still pure merman souls, which had not yet turned into those filthy things, into little by little mysterious energy, and pouring it into the merman princess's body.

Just as he was about to finish, Tuso stopped at the last step. He turned to look at Yun Qingyi and the others and smiled, "Gentlemen, I think you all know what I'm about to do."

Yun Qingyi and the others had different expressions and complicated looks, but they all remained silent.

Tuso didn't seem to care and still smiled, saying, "I think you all know very well that it's time for you to leave."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi hesitated for only a moment before taking out the wall clock. According to the overall progression of the story, at this point in time, they could indeed leave.

After all, there's nothing worth watching after that.

"Wait!" Just as they were about to adjust the hands of the clock, Tuso suddenly called out to them.

Yun Qingyi looked at him with some confusion.

Tuso smiled slightly and said, "In this last little bit of time, I'd like to ask a few questions."

"what is the problem?"

"Could you tell me, how is Liangmeng doing a thousand years from now?"

Yun Qingyi paused for a moment, recalled Liang Meng in the second room, and said calmly, "She's fine, there's no change, and she still has self-awareness."

“You…” He paused, then said, “Everything you planned was a success.”

Upon hearing this, Tuso revealed the only genuine smile he had shown here, and his gaze softened considerably: "That's good. It's good that she can live."

"Don't you ever ask yourself that question?" After thinking for a moment, Yun Qingyi couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not important."

"Moreover, I know better than anyone else what I will become in the future."

That's true... After all, as clever as he is, seeing that Tuso had turned away and was no longer paying attention to them, Yun Qingyi deftly turned the pointer.
