I'm a villain in the superhero world.

Whether due to direct or indirect causes.

Because of his current enormous influence on the world, and because he has now become a core supporting character, he can significantly alter the plot.

All these factors combined ultimately led to the male and female protagonists, Ji Mingyang and Yin Qing, meeting ahead of schedule.

In the study, he crumpled up the conclusions he had finally reached and written down on paper into a ball.

Leaning back in that large mahogany chair, Lü Buyi loosened his grip, letting the crumpled paper fall onto the desk piled with ancient books and modern folders.

"Was I jinxing it?"

He muttered to himself, his voice unusually clear in the quiet study, tinged with a hint of self-mockery.

He withdrew his fingers and picked up the cup of tea beside him, which had long since gone cold.

Lü Buyi didn't heat it up, nor did he care, and took a sip directly.

After the cool tea slid down his throat, he tapped his temples lightly with his fingers.

"I've never heard of the power of Yin having such a powerful effect of making words come true..."

Who could have predicted that the words spoken in the morning would come back to haunt them in the afternoon?

If there weren't some mystical elements involved, Lü Buyi wouldn't believe it; after all, it couldn't just be because he was unlucky, could it?

He gently placed the white porcelain teacup back onto the gilded saucer, and after it made a crisp, soft sound, Lü Buyi rubbed his temples.

"My fault. My strength has increased too quickly lately, and I've become too relaxed mentally. I've become a bit complacent—"

"I should have thought of this last night."

He sighed, then found another piece of paper and started writing a mind map of the whole thing on it.

Firstly, in the eyes of everyone in this era except Lü Buyi, in order to deal with the Ancestral Dragon Emperor who might break the seal,

The Yin and Yang must return to their original state and complete their destined battle at the opportune moment to determine the true Son of Yin and Yang to seal the Dragon Emperor.

Although the power of the sun has been corrupted by the Dragon Emperor's will, it remains intact.

However, the power of Taiyin was divided into two parts, one with Yin Qing and the other with Lü Buyi.

So the problem arises: how to complete and restore the power of Taiyin to its full potential.

To outsiders, this meant that only one of Lü Buyi and Yin Qing could survive.

Even with incomplete Taiyin power, Lü Buyi was able to become the strongest Taiyin Divine Child in a thousand years.

Yin Qing, who has been weak since childhood and is now only at the initial stage of the third energy level, could never possibly defeat him.

The outcome of this civil war, which had not yet begun, was almost a foregone conclusion from the start.

"Let me think... Yin Qing is the younger sister of Yin Ming, the eldest disciple of the Zen Master. It was discovered three years ago that she possessed the Taiyin energy..."

"Theoretically speaking, only Yinming and Master Zen should know about this. From their perspective, I shouldn't be aware of Yinqing's existence—"

"It's reasonable for them to send her out to find the sun ahead of time in order to protect Yin and Qing, since according to the normal course of events, the complete Taiyin and Taiyang will inevitably have a battle."

"Since we have a common enemy in plain sight, then she and Ji Mingyang should naturally stand on the same side."

After figuring out the reason, Lü Buyi put down his pen, feeling a persistent headache.

"I should have expected that my overly powerful 'other half of Yin' would bring pressure and concerns to Yinqing's brother and the Zen master."

"Although I have a way to save Yin Qing's life while extracting the other half of Taiyin's power, Master Zen and Yin Ming don't know that..."

"From their perspective, I'm probably the worst of the worst, the one who will one day take Yin Qing's life right before their eyes."

The Zen masters believed that Lü Buyi would definitely kill Yin Qing in the future, a fact that was almost non-negotiable.

This isn't child's play; you can't just say one thing and I can say another, and then we can make up and everything will be fine.

Whether or not the Dragon Emperor can be sealed is a matter of life and death for the entire universe; therefore, the Yin and Yang must be intact.

Therefore, only one of Lü Buyi and Yin Qing can survive.

Since the Zen master and his companions were not familiar with Lü Buyi, they naturally had to try to secure a chance for Yin Qing's survival.

Lü Buyi had no objection to their actions.

Because this is human nature; if he were in his shoes, he would do the same thing, or even perhaps more extreme.

That's not why he has a headache.

Lu Buyi's headache was purely because the Zen masters and others had unknowingly caused the moon and the sun to meet prematurely, ruining everything!

Why did Lü Buyi always want to use an avatar to participate in the main storyline?

Besides the fact that his main body needs to pay attention to the various seal numbers at all times and cannot act arbitrarily.

More importantly, once the moon and the sun meet, the awakening of one side will promote the awakening of the other side!

But here's the problem: Ji Mingyang can't awaken the power of the sun so early, because the previous generation of the sun left Ji Mingyang with a huge pitfall—

Before his death, the previous generation's Sun God Son swallowed a Dragon Pill left behind by the Dragon Emperor in order to seek revenge!

This dragon pill allowed him to gain immense power in a short period of time and successfully take revenge, but it also allowed the Dragon Emperor's remaining will to successfully corrupt the power of the sun.

Even though the previous generation's Sun God Child committed suicide in time, he was unable to completely eradicate that trace of will.

Thus, the Dragon Emperor's will appeared in Ji Mingyang's body along with the reincarnation of the Sun's power.

Once the power of the sun awakens, the Dragon Emperor's will will also be revived!

In the original story, when Ji Mingyang awakened, a Zen master was by her side, which is why that wisp of will was suppressed in time.

But now... the Long Night Conference is approaching, and the Zen Master absolutely cannot stay by Yin Qing's side.

As for Yin Ming, it's questionable whether he can even defeat Ji Mingyang at full strength; even if he stays by Yin Qing's side, it won't make a difference.

"Idiots, two idiots who could be in a museum—"

"If the Dragon Emperor were to possess Ji Mingyang at this moment and fully control the power of the sun, he would be able to break free of the seal without the need for Xu Fu and Hu Hai's preparations."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness we noticed it in time, otherwise the plot would have completely fallen apart..."

"It's not that there's no way to remedy the situation..."

"Forget it, to avoid any more mistakes, I'll send the avatar to Haidu in advance—a simple avatar probably won't be enough, to be on the safe side, I'll use that one."

After making his choice, Lü Buyi pushed back his chair and slowly stood up.

The slight scraping sound of the wooden chair against the floor was particularly clear in the quiet study.

He stopped looking at the pile of documents and stopped daydreaming, heading straight for the inner room.

His plain white casual clothes were casually taken off and draped over a sandalwood hanger.

After changing into a more classic and dignified black formal robe, Lü Buyi turned around and pushed open the door to the inner room from the inside.

Li Mei was serving outside the house at this moment. She had noticed the strangeness of the head of the family as soon as Lü Buyi walked out of the study.

So without Lü Buyi summoning her, she arrived here early.

Lu Buyi walked steadily to her, then stopped and spoke.

His voice was soft, as calm and even as ever.

But it was slightly different from usual; if I had to put it into words, it seemed to be mixed with a bit of a headache and…

excited?

"Rime, send an urgent report to headquarters immediately."

Rimei was slightly taken aback, but did not ask any further questions. She quickly composed herself, lowered her head, and replied:

"Yes, ma'am."

"You can choose any content you like, and you can come up with any reason you want. I only have one requirement: help me cancel the long night meeting."

Cancel the long night meeting? This is an unprecedented and capricious move.

Given the patriarch's level of responsibility, what could have gone wrong that would prevent him from attending such an important event as the Long Night Meeting?

Although still puzzled, Rime did not question it, but simply lowered his head even further and then asked for instructions.

"Master, if Grand Secretary Christopher or the Chairman asks about the reason, how should I respond?"

"If they ask, just tell them directly—"

Lu Buyi paused, then slowly uttered each word clearly:

"Either I don't go, or the Dragon Emperor is resurrected."

"Let them choose one."

The Dragon Emperor...resurrected?

Rimei was surprised, but dared not look up.

Her snow-white pupils contracted sharply for this reason, and she even paused for a moment.

The head of the family would never joke about something like this.

So, is it really possible that the Dragon Emperor sealed beneath the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum is now resurrecting?

She could almost imagine the shock that would hit headquarters when they received those words.

"Understood, Your Majesty." Rime suppressed the turmoil in her heart and her voice returned to its submissive tone. "Go and do it immediately."

Lu Buyi nodded slightly, and then immediately issued another equally crucial instruction.

"Finally, let's go to the Forbidden Treasury—"

"Bring me the 'Eight-Sided Beauty'."
