A young man with a head full of white hair appeared on the screen. He seemed to have just woken up, his eyes bleary with sleep. He wore slightly loose white pajama s with Snoopy patterns.

Though he appeared only fifteen years old, he somehow resembled a centenarian, with a profound and weathered look.

This was Gu Jianlin's first encounter with a top figure in the Dark World. He folded his hands under his chin, stared earnestly at the person onscreen, and said softly, "Think Tank?"

The Think Tank smiled faintly, "Mr. San."

Gu Jianlin said calmly, "Even top figures in the Dark World would come looking for a nobody like me?"

The Think Tank waved his hand with a friendly smile, "Don't say that. Actually, I'm not a big shot in the Dark World, just a 996 working man. Although everyone thinks I'm the king's heir, the truth is, today's Dark World isn't under my reign."

Gu Jianlin raised an eyebrow, "I heard that the Red King is the faith of the entire Dark World."

The Think Tank laughed, "Tsk, even the famous Qilin is just a child in the end. You have to know that faith is the most ridiculous joke; it collapses under the weight of interests."

Gu Jianlin questioned, "Really? My pet mocked Jiang Hanyi once, and these people felt their faith was defiled and relentlessly hunted me down."

Unexpectedly, the Think Tank waved his hand disdainfully, "Those fools are better off gone. You managed to kill the three of them, which has helped me clean up. But the current Dark World isn't under my control because the Six Major Families have found new backing, trying to replicate the Order World's path."

Gu Jianlin squinted; the last sentence instinctively sent a chill down his spine.

Replicate the Order World's path.

What does that mean?

Bear in mind, the entire Order World is essentially supported by the President alone.

The most powerful Heavenly Person in history.

Besides that, there's the support of the Ancient God Clan.

"Yes, just what you're thinking,"

The Think Tank said with a smiling face, "This isn't really a secret, but your elders definitely won't tell you. That's right, the current Dark World is backed by the Candle Dragon Clan. Just like how the Bai Ze Clan supports the Ether Association. This is the path they chose after the king's death."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback, "Candle Dragon Venerable?"

The Think Tank shook his head, "Who knows? But I think the Candle Dragon Venerable would disdain to ally with humans. It was a decision made by the ancestors of the Candle Dragon Clan to welcome the coming of a new world."

Gu Jianlin shuddered at the thought of how crazy this world has become.

Humans cooperating with the Ancient God Clan.

"Did you come to me just to say these things?"

He asked expressionlessly.

"No, no, of course not."

The Think Tank held up a finger, "Did you forget the game I want to play with you? You ruined my plan, so I want you to lose someone who is crucially important to you?"

For a moment, Gu Jianlin's eyes flared with fierce gold, like searing molten lava.

"Oh my, how terrifying, Heavenly Person's Breathing!"

The Think Tank showed a wary expression, "It seems your trip to Penglai Fairy Island was very fruitful for you. As an Evolver, you've mastered the power of a Heavenly Person. This is the kind of person the President has been waiting for hundreds of years. If the ancient gods of the Bai Ze Clan knew, I doubt they'd believe it."

Gu Jianlin thought, as expected, this guy knows everything.

Wait.

He suddenly realized something: "Yuuki Yocchi and Da He Wang are your people?"

The Think Tank sighed, "Mr. San, your intuition really is sharp. Yes, they are indeed my people. The Penglai Fairy Island expedition is the will of the entire Dark World, primarily to help Miss Skylark complete her ultimate transformation. The operation was led by Old Master Si, but the team was a mixed bag."

He paused, "The things on Penglai Fairy Island are of little use to humans; the danger and rewards are disproportionate. Only fools who are tricked would rush in to die. That's why few wanted to take on this mission, so the lineup wasn't luxurious. But you guys went in, which gives me a headache."

Gu Jianlin asked in a deep voice, "Your people are to protect the Moon Princess?"

This surprised him greatly.

As for the so-called Skylark, it's the owner of that broken blade.

Xu Fu had already warned him.

"Of course, I have high hopes for the Moon Princess; as the descendant of the Red King, her talent is astonishing."

The Think Tank shrugged, "Of course, I need to send someone to protect her, otherwise her mother would be at my throat."

Gu Jianlin thought, so that's how it is.

"Enough of that, I'm curious how you mastered the Heavenly Person's Breathing?"

The Think Tank asked curiously, "Are you also a sufferer of the legendary Frida's Schizophrenia?"

Gu Jianlin was stunned, "What?"

"Frida's Schizophrenia."

The Think Tank repeated, "A condition with currently only two cases out of seven billion. People with this disease experience a certain degree of soul fragmentation, suffering immensely. Without intervention, they generally die around the age of six. And this disease, coincidentally, is also a rare experimental subject, used for experimenting... the Yihua Plan."
