The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

This is definitely not what they want to see.

"This can't be real... They were fighting to the death before, how come they've become so... Strange, the mighty ruler of the abyss, why would He call Gu Ran 'Dad'? It can't be that He was beaten into submission, right? This is too ridiculous, so this must be fake!"

Suddenly, a powerful figure spoke with difficulty.

Clearly, he was trying to convince himself.

But after saying that, he fell silent.

The other powerful figures understood his situation: even he himself didn't believe what he was saying.

Things did indeed slide in the direction they didn't want to see.

Although they didn't want to believe it, they had no choice but to.

Everyone now shares a common question.

Why does the "Lord of the Abyss" call Gu Ran "Dad"?

......

In the light screen.

"Why do you call me... 'Dad'?" Gu Ran asked, puzzled.

He was certain that he had never had a daughter this big, neither in a past life nor in this one.

The "Lord Sovereign" struggled for a long time but could not get past Gu Ran's one-finger Zen, and couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

Hearing Gu Ran's question, He stopped, his face full of confusion: "Shouldn't a father be called father?"

?

Gu Ran remained silent for a while, then decided to change the way she asked the question.

"Who told you to call me dad?"

"It's Dad."

"I?"

"Yes."

"!?"

I told you to call me Dad, how come I don't know that myself?

Gu Ran fell silent again.

Lilith gave Gu Ran a strange look. Now she was absolutely certain that "Lord Dominator" had really become completely different from before.

If she didn't know that the silver-haired, silver-eyed little girl in front of her was the "Lord of the Abyss," she would definitely think that Gu Ran was a man who abandoned his wife and children and abandoned them after starting a relationship.

Even when faced with such a lovely daughter who came to his door, he was so rude and unkind.

But the fierce battle that had just taken place seemed to be right before her eyes, and Lilith could not possibly forget something that would affect her entire life.

“Gu Ran, she…” Lilith began hesitantly.

Although she was eager to know the situation, she knew that Gu Ran was probably just as confused.

So in the end, she didn't ask, but remained silent, letting Gu Ran think about it himself.

If he has thought it through, he certainly won't hide it from her; if he hasn't thought it through yet, then asking now is useless.

Gu Ran is indeed thinking about how to handle the current situation.

The "little girl" in front of them was fundamentally different from the "Lord Sovereign," but she was indeed the "Lord Sovereign" from before, or at least in the same body.

Wait a minute, the same body...

Gu Ran felt that she had grasped the key point.

The same body does not necessarily mean the same "soul"!

Following this line of thought, Gu Ran thought of the Mysterious General.

Isn't she just a "clone" split off from the "Lord Sovereign"?

One Mysterious General can be split off, and then a second Mysterious General can be split off.

Could this "little girl" be the second "Mysterious General" split off from the "Lord Sovereign"?

Gu Ran turned his gaze to the "little girl" in front of him.

"You said it was 'me' who told you to call me 'Dad'?"

The "little girl" nodded, looking at Gu Ran with a puzzled expression, seemingly wondering why he was asking such an obvious question.

"When and where did I make you call me Dad?"

Gu Ran's gaze suddenly sharpened, as if he were questioning a criminal.

He was testing the other party to see if he could expose a weakness.

Seeing Gu Ran suddenly turn fierce, the "little girl" immediately became timid. She said cautiously, "You always make me call you Dad, even at home. If I don't call you Dad, you get angry and sad."

"Did I do something wrong? If you don't want to, then... then I won't call you Dad anymore."

In the end, the "little girl's" eyes suddenly became glistening, as if she was about to cry out in grievance.

Gu Ran suddenly felt as if he had committed a heinous crime.

"..."

Goodness, people who don't know the inside story would think he's a creepy uncle who bullies little girls.

However, the "little girl" answered his question, yet it also seemed like she didn't.

"I've been... at home..." Gu Ran had a headache.

How could he deduce this from these two pieces of information: "time" and "location"?

Is this "little girl" in front of us not actually the "Lord Sovereign" in disguise?

If it were a disguise, that would be great; he could expose the other person and then "torture" them to extract the information he wanted.

Now, he really can't bring himself to be harsh with this "little girl," and he can't even bear to be too strict with her.

"Alright, alright, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm willing to let you call me Dad."

Gu Ran said with a hint of helplessness.

The little girl immediately stopped crying and smiled: "Daddy, hug me, I love Daddy the most."

The "little girl" stretched out her hands again, looking at Gu Ran expectantly.

"Gu Ran, it's best to be careful," Lilith couldn't help but say from the side.

Gu Ran understood what she meant.

Although the "Lord of the Overlord" has now become a cute and cuddly "little girl" asking for a hug, it's hard to guarantee that no unexpected things might happen if you get too close to her.

After all, they didn't know whether the "Lord Sovereign" was hiding any methods.

However, Gu Ran only hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

His intuition told him that there was no danger now, and the "little girl" in front of him really didn't seem to pose any threat.

On the contrary, he felt a sense of closeness from her, as if she were truly his closest relative.

Gu Ran also smiled, expressing his goodwill towards the "little girl".

Then he opened his arms and embraced the "little girl".

The "little girl's" silver hair, which was loose and flowing over her shoulders, was very smooth. Gu Ran gently stroked the "little girl's" hair to soothe her emotions.

"Alright, are you satisfied now?"

The little girl wrapped her arms around Gu Ran, pressed her face against his chest, and softly hummed in agreement.

"Daddy is the best, I love Daddy the most, please don't leave me again, okay?"

The little girl's voice carried a hint of pleading.

Gu Ran's hand paused slightly, her heart softened.

At that moment, he felt as if he truly had a clingy daughter.

Lilith looked at Gu Ran from the side, then at the "daughter" in his arms, and her cheeks suddenly flushed slightly as if she had thought of something.

However, when she saw that Gu Ran didn't seem to notice her, she breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a strange sense of disappointment.

"Okay, Dad will always be with you from now on," Gu Ran said softly, automatically stepping into the role of a stay-at-home dad at that moment.

"Do you remember where our home is? Dad can't find his way home."

Although he has taken on the role of a stay-at-home dad, Gu Ran still remembers his original purpose.

"The way home... I remember." The "little girl" lifted her head from Gu Ran's arms, reluctantly leaving his embrace, and then looked around.

"Dad, this is our 'home'? But how did we get here? I remember that you and Mom always lived in room A01."

The little girl said in confusion.

"Home" is the "central temple".

Gu Ran raised an eyebrow.
