I'm a villain in the superhero world.

Xu Fu—or rather, Amaterasu Omikami in the BE manga universe's "Children of Yin and Yang" setting.

In the story's background, he was initially conceived as one of the ministers under the Dragon Emperor.

At the end of the Age of Kings, during the time when the Dragon Emperor reigned supreme above all the kings and ruled the "Hall of Kings".

He worked diligently and followed silently.

Although the primordial dragon emperor, who was like the sun over all living beings, never foresaw the betrayal of his two children.

But he started planning for his possible future and outcomes very early on.

He had made ample plans to address the possibility of being assassinated by the king or even being permanently sealed away.

Xu Fu was the most important link in this chain.

The Dragon Emperor entrusted Xu Fu with the inheritance of the Ainu pantheon, which had been nearly wiped out at the end of the Age of Gods due to an event recorded in the Council of Rulers as the "Day of Divine Wrath."

Let him take charge of preparing for his rebirth and recovery after the accident.

The Ancestral Dragon Emperor gave Xu Fu almost ample time, but he never expected the betrayal from those around him to happen so quickly.

So much so that when he was sealed away, Xu Fu had only recently received the legacy of the Ainu gods.

What happened next was simple: over thousands of years, Xu Fu used this legacy to enter the realm of "demigods".

Under his interference, Shintoism and Onmyoji (masters of Yin and Yang) also gradually emerged.

To fulfill the mission entrusted to him by His Majesty, Xu Fu tirelessly researched how to break the Dragon Emperor's seal, creating countless experimental subjects in the process.

Takamura no Mikoto, Susanoo, Takemikazuchi, Yamata no Orochi, Tamamo-no-Mae, Shuten-dōji, Emperor Sutoku...

All the well-known fifth-level seal numbers in Japan today were created by him.

Even Abe no Seimei and Ashiya Dōman, the two former divine children of Yin and Yang, were nothing more than pawns and playthings in his hands.

He is an immortal being and one of the three demigod bosses in "The Child of Yin and Yang" besides the Dragon Emperor.

To some extent, with Fusu still unable to break free of his seal and reclaim his power, and Huhai not yet fully recovered, and with demonic energy still present...

Xu Fu was the strongest opponent of Lü Buyi and Ji Mingyang!

The BE editorial department is truly dead; their deus ex machina has reached an unprecedented level.

Lu Buyi took a moment to check his popularity score. After the second update, and with the passage of time, his popularity score had increased by more than 500,000.

If necessary, he could disregard the possibility of attracting the attention of the immortals and further strengthen his control over the Taiyin Beast.

This is why Lü Buyi dared to disregard the pressure and self-destruct right from the start, directly forming the Wangshu Heavenly Seal in preparation for summoning the Taiyin Beast!

He was unsure how powerful Xu Fu's projection was, so he did not immediately summon the Taiyin Beast.

Lu Buyi was simply applying pressure while observing Xu Fu's attitude.

But this demigod, just like in the original story, had absolutely no airs of a powerful figure.

Faced with Lü Buyi's Wangshu Heavenly Seal, he simply raised his hands and begged for mercy with a smile:

"As an elder, do you really think my reputation and popularity are that bad?"

"Even if I don't have much influence, please spare my child this time for the sake of your ancestors and father, okay?"

"I served under the Prime Minister for a few years, and I even held you and your father in my arms. To start with the Taiyin Beast is rather impolite..."

Faced with Xu Fu's sincere smile, Lü Buyi merely raised an eyebrow, but did not retract the Wangshu Heavenly Seal.

He chuckled and said, "Letting him go is no problem at all. After all, I just wanted to teach him a lesson once and for all."

"But I think that from the moment you, this great Buddha, appeared, the problem no longer lay with Emperor Sutoku."

"I initially thought he was just after the sun, but now it seems you were involved too..."

Lü Buyi's tone was slightly exaggerated, and he chose the old-fashioned tactic of labeling people.

"What do you need the sun for? Have you found some way to resurrect the Dragon Emperor?"

Xu Fu lowered his hands and squinted his eyes:

"This is truly an injustice! I made an agreement with the fifth generation of the God of War, that I would only provide assistance after His Majesty's recovery..."

"As for how His Majesty should recover, that is not something I should consider."

"Moreover, the Overlord Council is the world's number one superpower today, and even the council jointly established by supernatural management organizations from various regions is subject to its jurisdiction and interference—"

"I'm just an elderly person living alone, how could I dare to do such a rebellious thing?"

Xu Fu's gaze slowly settled on Lü Buyi.

Then, as if he had just realized something, he suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, the biggest problem is that you're here."

"Shouldn't you be in a long night meeting right now?"

"Just news from the sun isn't enough to make you abandon your responsibilities."

"So, can you tell me what made you insist on coming here, despite the long night meeting?"

"Is it because...His Majesty?"

Within the realm of the winding path, the Dragon Emperor's loyal ministers, the immortal beings, and the decision-makers of the ruling council, the swordsmen of the Far East, clash fiercely.

It's strange, though, because their conversation was peaceful and uneventful.

But Jiang Liyue, standing beside Emperor Chongde and Lü Buyi, was having trouble breathing.

This was simply due to the unintentional pressure emanating from the two during their confrontation.

Lü Buyi noticed this, as did Xu Fu.

So, the two of them tacitly extended their hands.

Under the watchful eyes of Emperor Chongde and Jiang Liyue, they escorted the two out of the Qujing.

As the two figures disappeared.

After a long standoff, Lü Buyi slowly withdrew the Wangshu Heavenly Seal.

Xu Fu's recent show of weakness already revealed his true intentions.

If you continue to deliberately make things difficult and insist on dwelling on it, then you are being too stubborn.

"Want to chat?" Seeing Lü Buyi withdraw his stance, Xu Fu clasped his hands together and tilted his head.

"Let's talk then."

Lü Buyi did not refuse, and with a wave of his hand, he changed the melody to one of boundless expanse.

Lu Buyi could roughly guess the purpose of Xu Fu's arrival.

—In the original story, he and Hu Hai allowed the Snake Princess to transform from a snake into a dragon through the power of the sun, in order to create a Sun Dragon Pill.

This will lay the groundwork for future plans.

Therefore, when he becomes the highest mountain on this path, he will definitely intervene to ensure that the plan can continue.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Fu would choose to save Emperor Chongde.

In the original story, Ji Mingyang's solar awakening scattered him, and Xu Fu didn't interfere...
