I'm a villain in the superhero world.

When he saw the sun rising through the window, Lü Buyi, who hadn't slept all night, finally stopped putting a shield on himself.

His current defensive setup is as follows:

[Poor Mountains and Distant Seas] is always in a state of activation.

Absorbs, resists, and weakens most material attacks with Yin energy – Rotation – [Vortex]

To prevent close-range ambushes, the Yin Power Reversal—[New Moon]—can deflect the force of attacks that have broken through mountains and seas.

And the Yin Power Fusion—[Authority]—specifically developed to target mental abilities and disruption.

In addition, there are small shields of all sizes that cover all parts of the body.

—In particular, Lu Buyi has taken maximum precautions against the biggest weaknesses of the clone created by the current [Eight-Faced], namely the two core parts of the head and heart.

Although Black Sword's demonic eyes, along with his usual divine weapons, might still easily penetrate these defenses.

Then, without Lü Buyi noticing, they delivered an unexpected blow.

But at least these protections prevented Lü Buyi's avatar from being killed in one blow.

If the black sword strike fails, he will absolutely not have a second chance to defeat Lü Buyi.

Even if Lü Buyi were given just a moment to react, Black Sword would have no chance of defeating Lü Buyi in a head-on confrontation.

"It's a pity that the main body has to take care of those seal numbers, otherwise with the protection of the Yin power and death energy, there would be no need to worry about the black sword's sneak attack."

That being said, in reality, those seal numbers had very limited effect on restraining Lü Buyi.

In fact, as long as Lü Buyi didn't care about their minuscule probability of breaking through containment, he could leave anytime, anywhere.

"However, while the crisis here isn't that great, it's still best to keep an eye on those guys as much as possible..."

"Otherwise, those two old men at headquarters will start nagging me in reports again."

Thinking of this, Lü Buyi sighed.

After staying up all night, he originally wanted to have a cup of tea to relax, but when he thought about the discussions that had arisen after the second update, he turned his attention back to the [template].

"Let me see how popular this update is. The feedback is much higher and faster than last time, and the discussion should be significantly more..."

Before opening the discussion forum of the first mainstream platform through the [Popularity Feedback Template], Lü Buyi made the following guess.

And the result was exactly as he had expected—

This time, the amount of information presented was enormous, and many suspenseful elements were created, with the battle scenes being particularly intense.

Therefore, after this update, the discussion surrounding "The Child of Yin and Yang" far exceeded that of the first update in every aspect.

The first thing to do is to summarize the worldview and outline the suspenseful questions raised in this update.

"A Collection of the Worldview and Setting of The Child of Yin and Yang (Continuously Added) (Discussions are welcome)"

Currently known factions:

The First Hegemony in the Extraordinary World: The Dominion (Note: The specific scope of its jurisdiction is in doubt. Incidentally, based on the information currently available, the Great King of Law is a high-ranking member of the Dominion.)

Global Alliance for the Management of Hazards of Paranormal Phenomena: Council (Note: Composed of seven major powers, currently only the Eastern Xia Social Security Bureau and the Western European Royal Court are known to exist.)

Social Security Bureau...

Royal Court...

Yin-Yang Bureau...

As Lü Buyi read through the post line by line, he couldn't help but feel gratified for these true fans.

Yes, that's right. The more complete the setting and worldview are, the better. Only in this way can we attract more curious and research-oriented people to join the discussion.

After reading the summary of the worldview, Lü Buyi then scrolled to the most popular posts.

What is Lü Buyi's identity and role? Who exactly is the Dharma King in the background?

Does nobody think Liu Bangqiang's moves are outrageous? His feat of taking on four opponents at Gaiyi is verifiable.

Why are there two Taiyin? Is one of them, Yin or Lü, fake, or has the power of Taiyin cracked?

What does "未神明阿是" mean? Why did Zheng Ge's first words after he appeared say that a righteous spirit was secretly protecting Lü Buyi?

"The Zen Master as Described by Yin Qing vs. Lü Buyi: A Poll Post"

"A rational discussion: Why was the Dragon Emperor betrayed and sealed away by Fusu and Huhai?"

To be fair, when the Yin and Yang represent opposites, the child of Yin and Yang is born through childbirth. But what if all the offspring are male, or all the offspring are female?

Why does my idol seem like he can be paired with anyone?

Although I always felt there was something strange mixed in with it...

But as expected, netizens always manage to notice all the details and extract all the suspense.

At first, Lü Buyi was worried about what would happen if no one discovered those mysteries...

It seems he was overthinking things.

After that, Lü Buyi read several more fan-made and derivative works on major platforms—

Analysis, explanation, puppets, debates, fan art and text.

One of the background music tracks really hit the spot, and he watched the video of the puppet with the "Wisdom Sword" face-to-face animation, which had over 700,000 likes, several times.

It must be admitted that sometimes, being there in person doesn't evoke the same emotions as being through the perspective of a comic book.

At least Lü Buyi enjoyed watching it.

"The results so far are quite satisfactory; the characters are well-established, and there's plenty of suspense—"

"Judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem like it will be too difficult for the first volume to reach number one in popularity."

However, despite this, Lü Buyi was not blinded by his temporary success.

After all, this is only the early stage, and there is still a long way to go. Only by persevering to the end can we achieve victory.

"Tsk... The first major event in the manga is coming soon, we can't let our guard down yet..."

"If I were to fail against Black Sword, I'd probably be ridiculed in the comments section for the rest of my life."

I walked to the table and chairs in the bedroom and poured myself a glass of cold water.

As Lü Buyi drank, he pondered the upcoming plot of the original story.

The "Oriental Pearl" auction scene spans thirty-five chapters in the original work, marking the end of the first part of the first volume.

It was undoubtedly the first major plot twist—

There are a total of six factions involved, and the process can be divided into ten smaller events.

This was originally a special opportunity for Ji Mingyang to first show his talent, but now with the addition of himself and Yin Qing, the whole incident has become more complicated and everything has become unpredictable.

"Hey editorial bigwig, I hope you don't just stick to your guns when you're targeting me."

"It would be best to revise the part of the plot that belongs to Ji Mingyang so that it is not too different from the original work—otherwise I really have to criticize you."

After cursing the BE editorial department as usual, Lü Buyi began to organize the timeline.

As I recall—in the original story, the Snake Princess used the mystery of her origins to lure Ji Mingyang onto the Oriental Pearl ship the day after tomorrow…

It seems to be today?

"Heh... Interesting. Let's see if this will change after learning from the lessons of the past few days."

With a hint of anticipation, Lü Buyi stepped out of the room and headed towards the library in the Glory Courtyard, nestled under a giant tree.

Next, he planned to wait here for Ji Mingyang's reaction and news.
