Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

643 Yun Tian's Anger At His Western Cosmos Faction's Leaders

After unlocking her Divine Spark through an intimate encounter with Wang Jian, Celestial Maiden Yuqing had ascended to the status of Radiant Starfire Goddess. Her newfound powers had transformed her from an angel into a formidable goddess.

Celestial Maiden Yuqing's ascension had significantly enhanced her abilities. She could now manipulate radiant starfire, a power that allowed her to incinerate evil and purify corruption with intense, divine light.

Her transformation into the Radiant Starfire Goddess had elevated her prowess to another realm.

However, detecting individuals whose spirits had been corrupted into Nether Spirits by the Nether Empress required thorough inspection of their spirits, a task that demanded the consent of the individual. Understandably, not everyone was willing to submit to such scrutiny.

Despite these limitations, Celestial Maiden Yuqing's faction managed to purge the Nether Spirits from the Heavenly Jade Pavilion and its allies, including the Lin Ancient Family, the Shui Ancient Family, and various sects and settlements under the Pavilion's influence.

This purge dealt a blow to the Nether Empress's faction, stripping away her informants within these critical factions. Nevertheless, compared to the other factions, her losses were relatively minimal.

Half a month later, a pivotal meeting was convened on a star within one of the galaxies of the Eastern Cosmos. This assembly brought together the leaders of the Western Cosmos' factions, with Yun Tian at the helm. The gathering included the Dragon Emperor Star God, the Tyrannical Emperor Star God, the Brahma Divine Star Goddess, the Ghost Emperor Astral Spirit, and the Nether Empress Astral Spirit.

Yun Tian right now wore an expression of barely contained fury. He surveyed the assembled leaders, his piercing gaze cutting through the tension that filled the room.

"Explain yourselves," Yun Tian demanded, his voice a sharp blade slicing throughNôv(el)B\\jnn

the silence. "How is it that we have suffered such catastrophic losses in the Eastern Cosmos?"

The Dragon Emperor Star God, a figure of immense power and pride, was the first to speak. "The resistance from the Divine Beast Clans was far stronger than anticipated. Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan and her Heavenly Jade Pavilion elders were relentless in their defense."

The Tyrannical Emperor Star God, still reeling from the defeat, added, "Jiang Chen's plan was sound, but we underestimated Wang Jian. His strategic acumen and the unexpected transformation of the Lin Ancient Family's defensive formation caught us off guard."

Brahma Divine Star Goddess interjected, her tone laced with frustration. "Wang Jian's influence extends far beyond what we anticipated. His intervention has consistently disrupted our plans, turning potential allies against us."

The Ghost Emperor Astral Spirit, his form flickering like a shadow, spoke next. "The forces led by Lu Rong'er, the Silver Light Goddess, have decimated our Ghost Emissaries and new formations. Her power is formidable and growing."

Finally, the Nether Empress Astral Spirit addressed the assembly. "While my losses have been minimal, Celestial Maiden Yuqing's ascension to the Radiant Starfire Goddess has purged many of my informants from key factions. Her ability to detect and eliminate Nether Spirits has weakened my network."

Yun Tian's fury only seemed to grow with each explanation. "We are supposed to be the dominant forces of the Western Cosmos! How could we let a single man, Wang Jian, and his allies thwart us at every turn?"

He slammed his fist onto the table, the impact reverberating through the room. "Our objective was to establish a foothold in the Eastern Cosmos, to extend our influence and power. Instead, we have suffered humiliation and defeat!"

The tension in the room was palpable as the leaders absorbed Yun Tian's words. The Dragon Emperor Star God, determined to salvage his pride, spoke with renewed resolve. "We cannot afford any more failures. We must reassess our strategies and strike back with greater force and precision."

The Tyrannical Emperor Star God nodded in agreement. "Indeed. We must gather more intelligence on Wang Jian and his allies. We cannot allow them to continue outmaneuvering us."

Brahma Divine Star Goddess, her eyes gleaming with a mix of anger and determination, added, "We need to identify and exploit their weaknesses. No one is invincible, not even Wang Jian."

The Ghost Emperor Astral Spirit, ever pragmatic, suggested, "We should also consider forging temporary alliances with other factions, even if it means working with those we would normally avoid. Strength in numbers could turn the tide in our favor."

Nether Empress Astral Spirit, her voice a cold whisper, concluded, "We must be relentless and cunning. This is a war of attrition, and we must be prepared to use every resource and tactic at our disposal."

Yun Tian, though still visibly angered, saw the determination in the eyes of his fellow leaders. He took a deep breath, reigning in his fury. "Very well. We regroup, reassess, and prepare for a counteroffensive. We will not let the Eastern Cosmos slip through our fingers."

As the meeting adjourned, the leaders of the Western Cosmos' factions left with a renewed sense of purpose. The failures they had suffered were a harsh reminder of the formidable opposition they faced, but also a call to rise to the challenge with greater resolve and strategy.

Yun Tian remained behind, contemplating the complex web of alliances, strategies, and power plays that lay ahead. The road to victory was fraught with peril, but he was determined to lead his faction to dominance, no matter the cost.

Meanwhile, across the cosmos, Wang Jian, Lin Xingya, and their allies prepared for the inevitable counterattack. The battle for the Eastern Cosmos was far from over, and the stakes had never been higher. As the stars continued their silent dance in the vast expanse of space, the forces of destiny converged, setting the stage for the next epic confrontation in this cosmic saga.

A few days later, an event of unprecedented significance unfolded in the Eastern Cosmos. A mysterious phenomenon lit up the skies, visible from every corner of the

vast expanse. This was the appearance of a truly wondrous Heavenly Treasure-the Divine Celestial Herb, known as the Heaven's Root Orchid. It was a legendary herb said to give someone a chance to breakthrough to the Godking Realm, a Heavenly Treasure that would appear once in an era of a million years.

The Heaven's Root Orchid emitted a radiant glow that pierced through the fabric of space, casting a shimmering light across the entire Eastern Cosmos. The air around it crackled with divine energy, and its fragrance, carried by the cosmic winds, reached every star and settlement. It was a beacon of hope and power, calling out to all the experts and factions within the cosmos.

News of the Heaven's Root Orchid spread like wildfire. The factions of the Western Cosmos, including the Tyrannical Emperor Star God's faction, Dragon Emperor Star God's faction, Brahma Divine Star Goddess's faction, Ghost Emperor Astral Spirit's faction, Nether Empress Astral Spirit's faction, and Yun Tian, were all alerted to its presence. From the Southern Cosmos, the Nature Clan's faction and the Corrupt Dragon Clan's faction, led by Dong Zhuo, turned their attention towards the Eastern Cosmos. Even within the Eastern Cosmos, the Heavenly Jade Pavilion and all its allies, including Wang Jian, and the rival Jiang Ancient Family, were caught off guard by this miraculous event.

Each leader of their respective factions from the Western Cosmos desired to acquire

the Heaven's Root Orchid. The promise of reaching the Godking Realm was too enticing to ignore. For the Southern Cosmos, only the Corrupt Dragon Clan's leader was interested in the herb. From the Eastern Cosmos, the Jiang Family was eager to obtain it. However, Wang Jian, despite being one of the most influential figures in the region, showed no interest in the Heaven's Root Orchid.

"This herb is of no use to me," Wang Jian mused, his eyes reflecting the celestial

glow in the sky. "If my guess is right, this herb appeared out of thin air due to the intentions of the Heavenly Dao's spirit. This means it might have been intended for Jiang Chen, the protagonist of the Eastern Cosmos."

Even if Wang Jian had no desire to acquire the Heaven's Root Orchid, he did not plan to let any other faction seize it. His strategic mind was always at work, ensuring that his position remained unchallenged.

As each faction moved to claim the Heavenly Treasure, they encountered an unexpected obstacle. Surrounding the Heaven's Root Orchid was an entire galaxy that had appeared out of nowhere, acting as a natural heavenly array formation. This galaxy, known as the Celestial Barrier Galaxy, was a marvel of divine architecture. Its stars formed intricate patterns, creating barriers of immense power that prevented any approach to the herb.

To reach the Heaven's Root Orchid, the leaders of the respective factions had to break through this heavenly array formation. The Celestial Barrier Galaxy was no ordinary barrier; it was a test of skill, power, and strategy. Each star within the galaxy was a node of energy, and together, they created an almost impenetrable shield around the

herb.
