Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Now, An Ran has become someone they need to look up to.

As the main storyline boss in previous versions, resolving this predicament shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Under Lin Yumo's lead, Zhou Jieyu reluctantly contacted Li Zhuying.

As expected, after learning of her situation, Li Zhuying let out a pig-like, uncouth laugh.

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Jieyu said angrily, "You skinny bamboo pole, hurry up and think of a solution for me!"

"No, don't mind me, it's just so funny, I couldn't help it, hahaha..."

Zhou Jieyu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Fortunately, when it comes to serious matters, Li Zhuying, despite his quirky personality, is generally quite reliable.

"Don't rush, just enjoy yourself over there. I'll report this to my superiors, and then we'll see what I can do."

"I understand."

Zhou Jieyu wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

She channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, and ate three-quarters of the food piled on the table by herself.

Then he let out a satisfied burp.

"what--"

After finishing eating, Zhou Jieyu exclaimed in surprise.

She suddenly discovered that these foods could actually increase experience points, and by quite a bit.

"This is an experience-boosting potion!"

Zhou Jieyu was initially quite upset, but now she's not sad at all.

They come, the security.

Before she gets exposed, she's determined to win back everything she's lost!

"The True Ancestor's appetite seems quite good, which puts my mind at ease."

After a while, the scholar and his teacher walked in.

After exchanging a few brief words, they asked the empty plates on the table to be cleared away.

After waiting a while, more members of the Crimson Demon Clan came into the room.

Zhou Jieyu and Lin Yumo became the focus of attention.

"Lord True Ancestor!"

The scholars were the first to step forward.

He prostrated himself on the ground, bowed, and then stood up and shouted.

"We are the Crimson Demon Clan living on this planet, and the True Ancestor is the savior of the Crimson Demon Clan as prophesied by our clan! There are some things I shouldn't say now, after all, the True Ancestor's strength is still slightly insufficient."

Zhou Jieyu immediately forced a smile: "It's okay, just say what you want to say!"

Huh?

The True Ancestor is surprisingly open-minded!

The scholar was slightly surprised. He coughed lightly and straightened his back.

"Since the True Ancestor has said so, then I won't be pretentious."

"Here's what happened—"

Zhou Jieyu discovered that she had triggered a story mission.

The scholar recounts the history of the Crimson Demon Clan, as well as the current predicament they face.

Since the dawn of civilization, the Crimson Demons have inhabited the surface of this planet.

They are naturally drawn to the element of fire, the darlings of flame. With this special ability, the Crimson Demon Clan easily became the rulers of this world.

At this very moment, a wise and far-sighted sage appeared among the Crimson Demon Clan.

The wise man left behind a prophecy related to the true ancestor before his death—

When the Calamity Dragon corrupts the earth and the living space of the Crimson Demon Clan is compressed to its limit, the True Ancestor, born in the furnace, will descend into the world amidst heavenly fire.

The True Ancestor used the World-Destroying Crimson Lotus, capable of scorching the world, to burn the Calamity Dragon to dust. With that, the True Ancestor flew into the depths of the starry sky, and the Crimson Demon Clan was reborn as a result!

"The Calamity Dragon suddenly appeared one day more than a thousand years ago. Its strength was too great. The ancestors of the Crimson Demon Clan were no match for it. Under immense pressure, the Crimson Demon Clan had no choice but to move underground. The Calamity Dragon did not continue to pursue. It just hovered in the clouds, waiting for something. The heavy rain outside was brought by the Calamity Dragon."

"..."

Zhou Jieyu's heart skipped a beat.

In other words, their successful landing on the ground was entirely due to the calamity dragon's leniency.

Grass!

Zhou Jieyu was immediately enraged.

Why don't you, you broken dragon, just slap the spaceship to pieces? That way, she wouldn't have to put on this show.

Zhou Jieyu's face held a hint of anger.

And this hint of anger was precisely captured by the scholar.

It seems that the True Ancestor still cares about the affairs of their Crimson Demon Clan. This is good news. Once the True Ancestor's strength is restored, he can slay that demonic dragon that has been causing trouble for many years.

In this way, the Crimson Demon Clan will be completely reborn!

"Don't worry, that calamity dragon will be eliminated soon," Zhou Jieyu said, feigning nonchalance.

The scholar's confidence soared: "Thank you, True Ancestor, for keeping the matter of the Crimson Demon Clan in mind."

The game notified Zhou Jieyu that she had completed the story mission. Counting the experience gained from eating the food earlier, Zhou Jieyu realized that she could level up, and she clicked the level-up button without hesitation.

Level 117.

This way, he's only one level behind Li Zhuying.

Zhou Jieyu nodded secretly.

There are plenty of missions here. If she takes a while longer, she might even surpass Li Zhuying in level.

Hee hee hee.

Zhou Jieyu looked up in surprise.

Suddenly, he realized that all the Crimson Demon Clan members in front of him were stunned, as if someone had cast a spell on them.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Zhou Jieyu asked cautiously.

Does this mean she's been exposed?

"True Ancestor!"

The scholar raised his hands in surprise and exclaimed.

True Ancestor!

"This must be the supreme True Ancestor, my God!"

The scholar was so excited that he became incoherent.

What the hell is this?

Lin Yumo stared wide-eyed at Zhou Jieyu, then at the NPCs in front of her.

Could it be that Zhou Jieyu is really the true ancestor mentioned in the prophecy?

Having grown accustomed to the game's routines, Lin Yumo had a new idea: perhaps this was a special game mission where players would take on the role of the True Ancestor and lead these NPCs in rebellion against the Calamity Dragon.

The task is triggered by first binding a new resurrection point.

That's very possible.

Lin Yumo shared her views with Zhou Jieyu.

"Hmm, that's quite possible. Could it be that I really am the chosen one?"

Zhou Jieyu looked ahead.

The Crimson Demon Clan members, led by scholars, danced wildly. Their senses were extremely sharp, and they noticed Zhou Jieyu's increased strength the moment she leveled up.

To become powerful without even sitting down—what an incredible talent!

If things continue like this, in just a few years, the True Ancestor will be able to grow to the point where he can fight against the Calamity Dragon.

As expected, the True Ancestor is indeed the True Ancestor.

Prophecies are not made up!

From then on, the Crimson Demon Clan members became increasingly respectful to Zhou Jieyu and Lin Yumo.

Zhou Jieyu lived a life of imperial decadence.

That seems pretty good too.

"I'll eat it!"

We need to quickly gain more experience!

……

"The prophecy of the Crimson Demon Clan? A calamity dragon hovering in the sky?"

An Ran was stunned for a moment after receiving the message.

What surprised her even more was that Zhou Jieyu was the one leading this exploration mission again, but that wasn't important.

The important thing is that the information Zhou Jieyu discovered can be connected to the main quest.

"The Crimson King mentioned in the prophecy from the Eternal Star Path seems to be the True Ancestor that the Crimson Demon Clan spoke of."

To unlock this secret, the only option is to travel to that planet in person.

"The battle here isn't over yet."
