I'm a villain in the superhero world.

Eastern Xia Republic, Haidu—

On this sweltering summer noon, with the cicadas chirping loudly, the weather was rather scorching.

Ji Mingyang, who had been sitting quietly by the computer, staring at the somewhat unreal university interview invitation on his phone, fell into deep thought.

After eighteen years of living an obscure life, he suddenly felt that the world had become unreal.

If this were some random, low-quality university off the street, that would be one thing.

Even if it were Australian Wild Dogs University, Ji Mingyang wouldn't care too much...

However, after taking a shower, he discovered that it was an absolutely world-class top university after checking. Moreover, after calling several times to confirm that it was not a scam or a mistake, he found out that it was indeed a top university in the world.

Ji Mingyang felt that all of this was too abnormal.

I, a loser with the worst grades in school, actually received an interview invitation from a top university...

Is this really not some kind of anti-human plot that only appears in melodramatic novels?

Ji Mingyang was having a hard time deciding, since he had never been exposed to this kind of thing before.

Moreover, since his parents were both deceased and he had no sister and a house, he had no way to consult his family.

So after hesitating for a long time, he finally opened the QQ chat software on his computer.

After a moment's hesitation, he clicked on the profile picture that was still brightly displayed.

Sun: "Moon, do you know what kind of questions the interviewers usually ask when they interview at a branch campus of a world-renowned university in Dongxia?"

moon--

This is an online friend that Ji Mingyang met three years ago while playing games.

During his darkest three years of high school, this gaming friend was one of the few people he could confide in.

According to the moon's own account in a casual conversation—

He himself graduated from a world-class top university and now spends most of his time traveling abroad.

So at least for Ji Mingyang, he was the only person who could probably answer his questions.

Moreover, although the moon wasn't much bigger than him, it seemed to know almost everything, so Ji Mingyang would usually ask it out of embarrassment if there was anything he didn't understand.

As usual, the moon is usually visible around noon.

The reply came in less than ten seconds after the message was sent.

Moon: "Most people know this, since there aren't many well-known universities with branch campuses in Dongxia."

Sun: "Do you have time now? Tell me about it—[kowtows]"

Moon: "The national college entrance examination has just ended, right? And you're already worrying about which school to apply to for the interview?"

Sun: "Because I've received an interview invitation from a local branch school [grinning face]."

The moon: "[I don't believe it]"

Moon: "...Are you sure it's not your kidneys that's being targeted?"

Sun: "I've confirmed it; it's definitely not a scam."

Sun: "Hmm...maybe I have some potential that I haven't even realized I have that's being targeted by someone. [Narcissistic]"

moon:"……"

Moon: "When is the interview?"

Sun: "Let me see... in a week."

Moon: "A week is plenty of time."

Moon: "By the way, which university invited you for an interview?"

Which university...

Looking at the question posed by the moon, Ji Mingyang didn't even glance at his phone again before typing out the answer without hesitation.

-

"Kyoto University Kaito Campus..."

Seated regally in the ancestral home of the Lu family of the Far East, which has been passed down for over a thousand years on the three islands of Penglai.

They were facing a computer with a style completely different from that of the antique mansion.

Lu Buyi, who had been pondering the main storyline ever since returning from his sword practice that morning, lowered his head.

He softly repeated the all-too-familiar name, his eyes, hidden behind a black cloth, filled with seriousness and earnestness.

After giving Sun a reply that he would hand over the information after he had organized it.

Quietly watching the message "Good brother, for life" sent by Ji Mingyang, the protagonist of the origin story of the "Bad Ending" series, *The Child of Yin and Yang*.

After serving as a caring older brother figure for three years, Lü Buyi tapped the table lightly with his index finger, his tone carrying a hint of indescribable relief.

"Aside from the long night meeting, there's no change in the other plot development—"

"It seems that all my actions over the years haven't interfered with when the first boss discovered the anomaly in Ji Mingyang..."

That's right, the netizen who just chatted with Lü Buyi is the sole protagonist throughout "The Son of Yin and Yang":

Ji Mingyang, the sun god's chosen one by destiny—

The one who sealed the Dragon Emperor, the selfless saint, the strongest Sun God Child in history, the terminator of the destiny of Yin and Yang...

These were the titles given to Lü Buyi by netizens before he traveled through time.

Within the main and side storylines of "The Child of Yin and Yang"—

Aside from the immortals and the Dragon Emperor, he is undoubtedly the most popular character!

The entire story of "The Son of Yin and Yang" revolves around him.

Don't be fooled by Ji Mingyang's constant online complaints about how awful his high school life was and how unlucky he was...

Others might misjudge him because of this, thinking he's an incompetent, useless protagonist.

But Lü Buyi wouldn't, because Lü Buyi knew the whole plot.

He knew that everything Ji Mingyang was doing now was an act.

When Ji Mingyang was six years old and still in the orphanage, he noticed that he was different.

He could always see the demons and monsters that were always drawn to him by the power of the sun.

Furthermore, it can manipulate the power of the sun that is not yet fully awakened to a certain extent.

However, being precocious, he suppressed his true feelings in order to protect himself.

The fact that he, as the son of the sun god, had not been discovered by anyone for twelve years speaks volumes.

If the villain in the first volume hadn't received a hint from Xu Fu and Hu Hai,

Then he invited Ji Mingyang to enter Kyoto University's Kaito branch, plotting to obtain the power of the sun.

So maybe Ji Mingyang can survive until the Dragon Emperor is resurrected.

"As far as I remember, Ji Mingyang already had the strength of the middle to high level of the third energy level when the story started."

"Then, within four years, he will advance to the fifth energy level..."

"However, correspondingly, Ji Mingyang also faces countless crises, which means I don't have to worry about not having a chance to save the day."

Because of his precognitive understanding of the plot, Lü Buyi began to interact with Ji Mingyang, the protagonist, very early on.

On the one hand, it's to ensure that their involvement in the main storyline is seamless and doesn't seem abrupt after it begins.

On the other hand, Lü Buyi felt that by appearing as a mysterious friend by his side, and then helping him out of trouble or saving him at crucial moments, he could not only build a good image for himself, but also likely accumulate a lot of popularity.

As Lü Buyi thought this, he sent the information he had prepared to Ji Mingyang.

Sun: "[Kowtowing]"

Moon: "[Rise]"

After ending the conversation, Lü Buyi focused his attention back on the main storyline.

In particular, the part concerning his own Yin energy.

"Speaking of which, it really is time for us to meet in person."

"After all, the fragment of my Yin energy will soon go to his side..."

However, all of this can wait. We can do it after attending the long night meeting at headquarters.

After finalizing his plans, Lü Buyi slowly got up to prepare for lunch.

Even at the fifth energy level, one wouldn't experience any reaction even if they didn't eat for hundreds of years.

However, Lü Buyi was not the kind of old man who had no interest in food and drink.

No matter what, you still have to eat.

But as soon as I pushed open the door...

Looking at the graceful, aloof, and otherworldly white-robed Taoist nun standing before me, I felt a sense of detachment from worldly affairs.

Lu Buyi suddenly lost his appetite.

As a superhero universe with Eastern culture as its main theme—

It's perfectly reasonable for superpowered individuals and Qi practitioners to coexist in this world.

So what bothered Lü Buyi wasn't this somewhat unsettling contrast.

But...

"Lu Buyi, did you attack the Penglai Great Barrier again this morning?"

The white-robed nun couldn't control her emotions when she mentioned the misdeeds of that villain Lü Buyi.

Even the thin fabric covering her chest was constantly rising and falling, making it difficult to suppress.

"Since you became the master of the three islands of Penglai, we have reminded you countless times that what you are doing will lead to..."

"alright--"

Before the white-robed Taoist nun in front of him could finish speaking, as always, Lü Buyi calmly and directly interrupted her.

"I did it, and I know the consequences, but I just don't want to change..."

Lu Buyi calmly looked at Jiang Liyue, the lord of Yingzhou Island and one of the strongest Qi cultivators of the three Penglai Islands.

Then, in the coldest tone, he uttered the words that angered her the most.

"I am the master of the three islands of Penglai, what can you do to me?"

Although the Lu family of the Far East had been in decline for a long time before Lu Buyi, and was even close to extinction.

However, the mansion built in Penglai by Lü Dongbin, the 12th president of the Tongzhi Association, has been preserved to this day.

It remains unharmed by birds or insects.

It was precisely for this reason that Lü Buyi, who had grown up several years ago, was able to defeat and subdue all the existing forces on the three islands of Penglai one by one.

There was little reaction within the governing council to his becoming the master of the three Penglai Islands.

After all, as the 12th generation guild leader, Lu Zu's old mansion still exists, so Lu Buyi's position as the master of the three islands of Penglai is perfectly legitimate.

Anyway, these Qi cultivators on the three islands of Penglai are always disobedient, always like to go out to sea and create some unscientific celestial phenomena, causing the governing council to constantly have to rely on memory erasure to maintain order in the mortal world.

With Lü Buyi, the new ruler of the three Penglai Islands, keeping them in check, the ruling council is quite happy to enjoy the situation.

However, precisely because of this, if anyone among the three islands of Penglai could defeat Lü Buyi, the governing council would have no reason to help Lü Buyi.

and so……

Holding a whisk and dressed in a pure white Taoist robe, Jiang Liyue's face darkened as she watched the helpless gaze of Bingjian Limei, who had just arrived.

For the 327th time, he challenged Lü Buyi to a duel to seize the position of master of the three islands of Penglai.

"Lu Buyi, I challenge you—"
