Each of the nine dragon maidens possesses extraordinary abilities.

Lu Yueyuan responded, his mind churning with thoughts.

The Holy Emperor certainly knew what he was thinking; from the moment they signed the alliance, they were able to know each other's thoughts.

The Holy Emperor continued, "Haven't you already decided? Start with your childhood sweetheart."

Lu Yueyuan remained silent.

"The other guardians' true forms are scattered throughout the Nine Provinces. That little girl named Ming Huaiwei trusts you so much, so starting with her is the most suitable... Of course, I've looked at your timeline, and you've also failed several times with her."

“Because of love,” He said.

That was a truly terrifying memory. During the first simulation, someone I knew well suddenly changed their expression. Blood flowed like a river beneath their crippled limbs. The surroundings were quiet darkness. She was still the person I knew, but suddenly she was different—her voice, her words, her smile…

Everything was shattered by the whirlpool, and the hideous monster bared its fangs.

It's terrifying; even the gods are saddened by this.

The Holy Emperor felt that, at least in this respect, He was the same as Lu Yueyuan; they had both been betrayed. The only difference was that the people who betrayed Him did not love Him. Who would have thought that their pet would collude with those four heartless bastards to betray Him? He felt that their anger should be the same, and indeed should be.

The infected Holy Emperor said, "It's her, take her!"

Lu Yueyuan did not refute, he was already planning his next move. The Holy Emperor's words could not affect him, he would only firmly follow his own path.

His first target was indeed Ming Huaiwei.

Just now, he was still moved. He reached out and touched his eyes. Although the Holy Emperor was now sealed and could not use many powers, there was one that he could use now.

The Holy Emperor's eyes, like the sun, could see through the essence of things.

He saw the connections between people, represented by lines of color representing love and hate; the darker the color, the more ruthless, and the redder the color, the more loving.

And Ming Huaiwei and his thread...

"Red to the point of being black, does that mean love to the extreme is to the point of hate?" he murmured to himself.

Chapter 9: Mocking Wind

Regardless, Lu Yueyuan has already succeeded in his first step.

Although the Holy Emperor's personality is not quite the same as the game datamining personality he knew from his previous life, it's not a big problem.

What he needs to do next is to use his identity as an agent and the power of the arrogant group to take action against Ming Huaiwei.

But before that, he had to deal with a problem.

Despite being the number one sect in the world, the Jiuyi Sect is not a monolithic entity.

Leaving aside the disciples who worship the four different gods, even the protectors of the nine veins cannot be said to be harmonious among themselves.

Taking Lu Yueyuan's appointment as sect leader as an example, while there are supporters like Ming Huaiwei, there are also opponents.

At this time, something happened at Daidan Cliff, located in the third vein.

Gluttony poked his head out, sensed the surroundings with his spiritual energy, and confirmed that the cafeteria was empty. He then quickly activated the talisman.

"Boss, the spirit array in the back mountain has lost its power."

"Damn it, Gluttony! That brat must have seduced my Holy Emperor! Find out who he is!"

"Boss, don't force me... No matter what, she's destined to be the sect leader, and I'm just a cafeteria lady, how am I supposed to get close to her..."

"Now that he's become the proxy, he'll definitely try to find out the believers' locations from the Holy Emperor. If that guy's a lecher... Oh no, Gluttony, you're in danger!"

"W-what's wrong? He's an agent now, he wouldn't dare lay a hand on me..."

"The danger I'm talking about is a different kind of danger, similar to an older man with a little girl, or an old woman with a young boy. If he's a lazy bum who only cares about his lower body, then you're in even greater danger, and he'll devour you!"

"Eat me? Roast me or stew me? I can't be eaten raw, can I...?"

"Idiot, forget it, why should I explain to you? The organization has given you new orders: retreat immediately and rendezvous with the nearest organization headquarters."

"Received, boss!"

Each of the nine lineages has its own territory and controls a portion of the sect's authority. Daidan Cliff belongs to the third lineage and is led by Wei Daidan, the protector of the third lineage.

Nowadays, apart from Ming Huaiwei, the main bodies of the Guardians are scattered throughout the Nine Provinces, carrying out a secret plan. Even so, they can still monitor the sect and even send out avatars when needed.

The location of Dangerous Dawn's incarnation had been figured out by Gluttony's lurking over the past few days. She returned to her residence, saw that her colleagues were all fast asleep, packed her things quickly, and planned to go down the mountain by taking a side path.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of arrogance, she always felt that arrogance was right. When arrogance asked her to infiltrate, she agreed without hesitation. Now that he was asking her to withdraw, she would of course withdraw as well.

Because she thought arrogance was a good person.

None of the Seven Deadly Sins had any special bloodline; they were neither reincarnations of powerful beings nor exceptionally gifted. Gluttony was such a girl. She was born in an ordinary small mountain village in Zhongzhou, a village where people made a living by farming. Every household owned land, raised some pigs, cattle, and chickens, and were self-sufficient. If they had surplus crops, they would take them to the Immortal City to sell.

Compared to the mountain villages in some remote states, the families of the gluttonous are considered better off, because they are close to the immortal gate and there are no bandits or soldiers. But even so, they sometimes go hungry. If the heavens are angry and the harvest is lost, the chances of going hungry are even greater.

The immortals wouldn't change the weather for mortals, so whenever she saw the fields cracking, her parents sighing, and her parents gorging themselves, she knew she was likely going to go hungry. She wanted to eat dirt like others, but her parents would pick her up and beat her. She didn't understand why her parents beat her, since those people's bellies looked bloated and they seemed to be full.

Her stomach needed to be full, ideally so full she couldn't walk. And if she was going to eat, she wanted meat, the fatty kind, the kind that leaves your mouth full of oil with every bite. Binge Eating loved meat, especially braised pork hock. Once, she went to the city with her parents and saw a fat man eating meat in a restaurant through the window. Good heavens, his mouth and hands were covered in oil, dripping onto the ground like Binge Eating's saliva. From that moment on, Binge Eating developed a love for eating, especially meat.

She followed Pride because she could eat meat. The first time she ate braised pork knuckle was at Pride's place. It was during Pride's first offline gathering, where the original Seven Deadly Sins were gathered. There were many dishes on the table, including meat, a large braised pork knuckle. Pride was talking about it on stage, his saliva flying everywhere, while she ate it below, tears streaming down her face. This was meat! It was so delicious. She felt like the happiest child in the world.

Then Pride saw her, walked over and patted her on the shoulder hard, saying that they were indeed the same, and then she was given the name Gluttony and became one of the seven deadly sins of the Holy Emperor.

Actually, Gluttony felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't been listening at all and didn't know what the Holy Emperor was like. She had only come here to eat, and she wasn't crying for the Holy Emperor, but for the delicious meat. So she felt that she had let Pride down.

Pride was a good person, but Gluttony had always thought so, so she had never doubted Pride's orders, until now...

The path down the mountain was pitch black, without a single ray of light, but suddenly, the faint aroma of meat wafted over.

Gluttony's body stiffened instantly. She sensed some kind of danger ahead, as if the entire sky had transformed into a coiled dragon, and that dragon was staring intently at her.

Is retreating now the right decision?

She was drenched in cold sweat and her legs were trembling uncontrollably, but she kept walking forward until she saw a fire suddenly illuminating the darkness ahead, from which the aroma of meat wafted.

Someone sat there, slowly turning the grill.

"Was the food at Daidan Cliff not to your liking? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The man slowly rose, revealing his entire body in the darkness.

It was a girl, not very tall, with jet-black hair slightly obscuring her emotionless eyes. Her dress was black and white, and although she was cute, her expressionless face twisted that cuteness.

Gluttony's pupils widened suddenly, the pressure forcing her to kneel down, fear gripping her heart as if it were about to burst.

"S-Sir..."

The third guardian is in imminent danger, and it is not an avatar, but the true form.

The variables began to emerge from this moment.

Wei Daidan didn't know why, but he suddenly returned to the Jiuyi Sect.

The most formidable and difficult-to-deal-with dragon maiden in the Nine Peaks game is in imminent danger. At this very moment, her true form has returned to the Nine Peaks Sect, and just now, she witnessed the entire event in the back mountain, and it is even highly likely that she overheard the connection between Gluttony and Pride!

Chapter 10: Dangerous Prophecy

The nine dragon maidens, who inherited the bloodline of the ancient dragon god, each possess extraordinary abilities.

Only gods can possess power, and as humans, there are only two ways to use power: either become a god's unique agent, or become a god's descendant and ensure that one's bloodline is pure. The purer the bloodline, the more powerful the god's power can be.

The power wielded by the ancient dragon god was divided into nine veins, each possessing unique powers.

Wei Daidan is the protector of the Daidan lineage. His power is [Danger]. His method of inheritance is the Law of Life and Death, and his name is Chaofeng.

If you were to ask Lu Yueyuan who the most powerful dragon girl is, it certainly wouldn't be Wei Daidan. But if you were to ask him who has caused him the greatest psychological trauma in countless simulations, it would definitely be Wei Daidan.

Because of her powers, she was exceptionally sensitive to danger. In the early simulations, as soon as he did something that was likely to pose a threat to Wei Daidan in the future, she would see it as a sign and nip it in the bud without hesitation. As a result, many times, Wei Daidan would almost irrationally block the fountain to kill Lu Yueyuan, almost breaking his defenses.

And now, the only reason she is here is undoubtedly because she sensed danger.

Those eyes were devoid of emotion, just like the surrounding darkness, yet even Gluttony bowed his head in fear before them, unable to look directly at them.

Wei Daidan calmly observed Gluttony, his gaze lingering on her ample bosom for over ten seconds before he slowly spoke:

"The Gluttony of the Holy Emperor of Eternal Annihilation, where do you intend to go?"

Gluttony shuddered. Holy crap, I've been exposed?

Was it just exposed? But she checked the talisman repeatedly when she used it, and no one was listening in. Or does Wei Daidan have some unknown methods that she didn't notice?

Gluttony was terrified. She sensed a fleeting murderous intent in Wei Daidan's eyes as he looked her over. Although it was only for a moment, she still noticed it.

This is terrible! She really wants to kill her!!!

"My lord, my lord!!"

Gluttony cried out to the Pride Sect, "I was coerced! My family was kidnapped! They threatened me! I had no choice but to do this, sir! I'm just a food maker! I don't know many of our sect's secrets! I..."

Wei Daidan calmly asked, "Weren't you one of them from the beginning?"

The gluttonous girl stopped crying and asked tremblingly, "You...you knew all along, then why did you still take me in?"

"Because you are not in danger."

Wei Daidan stared coldly at her: "Whether it's you, or that so-called arrogance, or even your ridiculous organization, none of you pose a threat to me. But just tonight, just now, you suddenly became a threat to me, and I didn't hesitate to use a red talisman that could traverse space to bring it back... Heh, how interesting. You seem the same as before, so how come you're a threat to me now? Could it be related to that person going to the back mountain tonight?"

Gluttony collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless. What kind of heaven-defying ability is this? Is there no law?

Then she realized something even worse: the proxy.

What, what should she do now? Should she just tell the truth and beg for a way out? But these guardians are notoriously ruthless; they don't even care about the lives of the Nine Peaks Sect disciples, so why would they care about her? She won't be captured and have her soul cleansed, will she? No! She's often heard Fury say that soul cleansing is a very painful process; she can't bear it!

Her body was trembling violently, but Wei Daidan had already stepped forward.

“It’s strange, you still look so ordinary,” Wei Daidan said. “And your appearance makes me uncomfortable. But if I kill you, then there will be dangers that threaten my life in the future. Why is that… Hehe, don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

"No, won't you?" Gluttony raised his tear-streaked face.

"Tsk... It really annoys me. Look at your curly hair, look at your chubby little face, and look at your sinful chest. How did you manage to eat so much and grow up like this? Is this some kind of magic?" Wei Daidan suddenly muttered to himself, gesturing wildly. "I also eat a lot of things—meat, eggs, rice, vegetables. I eat properly, and even the acupoints I'm applying spiritual energy to are correct. Why can't I do this...?"

"What?" Binge eating asked, somewhat confused.

“But no matter what, you do pose a danger to me, so I can’t let you go.” Wei Daidan waved his hand, and the roasted meat flew into her hand. “I’ll treat you to roasted meat, you can have it.”

"You poisoned me, didn't you?" Gluttony cried.

"How did you know? You're so clever." Wei Daidan clapped his hands expressionlessly. "But it's not poison. I put a talisman in here. It's a very ordinary talisman. It won't harm your body if you eat it. It will just make you subconsciously treat me as your master and follow my orders."

"I...I won't eat it! Just kill me."

"No, if I kill you, I will die in the future. I don't want to die." Wei Daidan handed over the meat. "Eat it yourself."

Gluttony: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, today is the day I will prove my innocence with my death..."

"I'm sorry, but I told you, you're not allowed to die!"

Wei Daidan clapped his hands, and thousands of threads bound Gluttony.

"Come on, open your mouth obediently."

"Ughh ...

The meat transformed into a warm current that flowed through her overeating internal organs, leaving her feeling dizzy, as if shrouded in a fog.

Wei Daidan waved his hand in front of her and asked, "Who am I to you?"

“........Ah ba............”

How did he become an idiot? No, this guy was always an idiot, wasn't he? Wei Daidan clapped his hands and said, "Go back," and Gluttony staggered and dazed as he walked back.

After doing all this, Wei Daidan confirmed that no one was watching her, and then quickly returned to her cave.

"Very good. The other guardians have not returned. They are still carrying out their grand plan and will not be paying attention to this area for the time being."

She sat in her hammock, lost in thought.

"Besides the Seven Deadly Sins, that man has also become dangerous... His name is Lu Yueyuan, right? He went into the back mountain today and activated the great formation. Even with the blessings of the Four Gods, it shouldn't have turned out like this. The great formation connects not only to the God Realm but also to the Nether Sea. Could it be...?"

"The Eternal Annihilation Holy Emperor, the Seven Deadly Sins—if that's the case, then it's not surprising." Wei Daidan stroked his chin. "With the Four Gods absent, no one else knows about this. Perhaps I can use it..."

Chapter 11: The boss blocking the fountain is said to be...

“…So, that’s what she thinks,” Lu Yueyuan said.

"Indeed, it seems that time has taught you very well. You truly understand the dangers ahead," the Holy Emperor praised.

It's no good if you don't know everything. Lu Yueyuan has simulated the future so many times. The biggest problem he faced in the early stages was being in danger. Based on the opponent's ability to sense danger, they could really kill him in the beginner's village.

What kind of enemy was that? For Lu Yueyuan, the enemies he encountered later were all stronger than Wei Daidan, but the one that left the deepest impression on him was still Wei Daidan. The first one is always the most special. Of course, it's not because Lu Yueyuan is a pervert, but because the sense of despair that descended upon him for the first time was real. That's right, the first time he felt despair from Long Niang was from Wei Daidan.
