Take my like button. But I'll patiently wait for the manhwa chapters with expectations.

His craziness works both ways.
"A genius lives only one story above madness." - Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga und Paralipomena

Its ironic that in his past life, after the Murim Alliance leader died, the MC would be the only sane person left with the right sway in this world.

Do not forget, WISE. As he preaches to them why banditry is not worth walking, as well as telling them what kind of person the Murim Alliance leader is, just by telling a single story.

Yeah, with the MC's enlightening lecture, its very likely they'll either work under the good people of the Murim Alliance (definitely not under that old bigot Sima or that shit dog), or ask to be transferred to the Hao sect and live the peaceful civilian life as MC promises to his clan.

Not allies, idiots.

I'd rather enjoy watching the emcees despair instead.

Fuck up that old fucker! He's one of the greatest bigots who caused the MC restless nights!

Remember, he has no Fortune Value, he's just cannon fodder in Master Gu's eyes. I see no reason to prolong his pathetic life.

Remember, she was BAIT.

That traitor? Because he chose his side since the beginning.
That old man? Because he's dead meat one way or another, so his best shot is to at least put up a fight. Little did he know...

Master Gu: Thanks for making this easier for me, old man~

But it also explains one fundamental aspect - Uryu is a mystic, the perfect medium of God's pranks, but blessed with the ability to connect the past and future by his own actions.

But that idiot is all muscles no fat, eating him would be utterly boring, but at least he'll be decent food for the Madame.

Remember, ALMOST NOBODY knows who still plays that trash game, much less the players of that game who are still alive, even less knowing the one who beat the game (which is the MC himself, the game system back then didn't specify who beat the game, only told all PLAYERS that the game has been beaten). So the common people gotta bet on something regardless.

Remember, Master Gu doesn't kill those who surrender, even if its under pretense, he MAKES USE OF THEM.

Just know where Master Gu comes from and you'll understand the purpose of his conquests - Master Gu was an upper realm cultivator from the greatest family looking for resources at the lower realms. Naturally, talents all flock to him as he has the connections and resources to make anyone great. But there are also obstructions and rebels to Master Gu's motives, such as the ones with Fortune Value (aka Fortune's Chosen), who think they can defy the heavens and order by their own will, thinking that they don't need the upper realm families to be powerful.

And here's the main question - Where did Fortune Value for Fortune's Chosen come from?
And the answer is incredibly ironic - From the Tree of Beginnings that the people of the lower realms STOLE from the upper realm.
And if you think carefully what will happen if Master Gu fail to stop any of the Fortune's Chosen, much more failing to secure the Tree of Beginnings... I don't think I need to answer that as the bigger picture answer can be easily deduced, eh?

Oh, you don't particularly have to remember their names in this story - as almost everyone is either cannon fodder, or conquest targets for Master Gu. You just have to know who they are and how they fit in the picture will do.

I'm pretty confident of my knowledge of this story so far, what fares your question?

She has no fortune value, her status is far less valuable than the Heavenly Deer Maiden, and her abilities and body doesn't even lit a candle to her fiancee. Why should I be surprised?
