But after coming to this world, David once again relied on his good luck, opening quite a few treasure chests, even getting a lot of good stuff, and because of that, he became the lord of Region 2.
You could say it was a blessing in disguise.
But… he was clearly the chosen one, someone with a golden finger.
'So why am I still no match for the lord of Region 7, that plain and unremarkable Ethan?'
That left him feeling a bit unconvinced.
"The ancestor also said…", Michael hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "This man can save…"
"Save what?", David got annoyed seeing Michael keep speaking halfway and then stopping.
He was an impatient person to begin with. If it weren't for the fact that this little fox in front of him had quite some ability, especially its power to foresee certain things, he really wouldn't bother wasting words with it.
"I don't know either," Michael looked up, his face awkward, "Because my ancestor only said this much, and then suddenly disappeared. This is also the first time I've encountered this kind of situation."
"Uh…"
David froze, completely not expecting such an answer.
But thinking about it again, it seemed normal, like those fortune-tellers who reveal heavenly secrets. Sometimes the heavens would suddenly strike lightning as a warning not to divulge too much.
Maybe Michael's ancestor had also been warned by the will of this world.
For some reason, although he was very dissatisfied that Ethan had surpassed him, the so-called child of destiny, he still had a faint premonition that forming an alliance with the lord of Region 7 might be the right choice.

[Lord of Region 8]
"Damn it!"
Luna slumped onto the wooden sofa in the villa, holding her forehead with a headache, "This extreme cold night hasn't even ended yet! And now there's suddenly some polar night coming right after, isn't this just trying to kill people?"
[T/N: Name of the Region 8's lord is changed from Leon to Luna.]
"Lord, don't worry too much."
The player of Region 8, Selena, had a spawn location quite close to Luna, so the two of them supported each other and managed to survive here together.
And Luna and this Selena happened to complement each other, one for martial, one for strategy.
Luna was the martial one, Selena the strategic one.
Because back on Earth, Luna had been a master of traditional eastern martial arts. Later, she worked in dojo as a martial arts instructor, living a fairly decent life. With her solid skills, she often acted as a stunt double for popular actresses.
Of course, it wasn't like there hadn't been talent scouts who wanted to sign Luna into showbiz.
After all, her looks were no worse than those of top actresses. But Luna hated the kind of life where paparazzi would chase after you, leaving you with no freedom at all, so she refused to become a celebrity.
But during one stunt performance while filming, the wire suddenly snapped, and she directly… was transported into this world.
Although she had been completely dumbfounded at the time, fortunately she accepted the reality quickly.
And relying on her martial arts, she quickly secured a foothold in this world. She even opened some skills related to ancient martial arts from treasure chests, which boosted her cultivation by a large margin.
In this barbaric world where everything depended on fighting, Luna unexpectedly became the strongest in Region 8.
Which meant she became the lord of Region 8.
However, Luna was very good at fighting, but managing a district like Region 8 was something she wasn't good at at all.
Luckily, there was a player who had transmigrated near her territory, a cute girl named Selena. Although her combat ability was average, she was a top-tier genius with extremely high intelligence.
So Luna simply handed over the management of Region 8 to her.
And it was handled in an orderly way.
At the very least, thanks to her powerful brain and the redistribution of resources, all players in Region 8 were able to build stone houses before the extreme cold night arrived.
As for some players who didn't have stone houses, Selena would quickly help them find nearby players.
She even created a hand-drawn map of Region 8 by relying on private chats with various players.
And after verification, the accuracy of the map was actually very high.
It was precisely with this map that Selena managed to gather most of the players who hadn't built stone houses together, so that two players only needed to spend one share of resources.
Thanks to Selena's coordination ability, Luna, as the lord, could be considered competent. At least she had led the players through the hardship.
But now, the situation they had worked so hard to build had been disrupted by a new lord mission.
"How can I not be anxious?", Luna said with a headache, "You saw what it said above. For the next three days of polar night, not only will the sun not rise, the fog won't disperse, but the extreme cold will also continue for a full three days."
"These past few days, in order to let players all have stone houses to live in, we've already used up a huge amount of materials."
"The remaining materials simply aren't enough for us to last until the end of the polar night. At that point, we might not even need to wait for the lord competition to end in seven days. We'll wipe ourselves out ahead of time."
"Lady Luna," Selena smiled, "Actually, sometimes we don't necessarily have to rely on ourselves to struggle through."
"What do you mean?"
Luna looked at Selena in confusion.
But Selena still spoke calmly, "In a place like this, only alliances can make you stronger. Have you forgotten that before, everyone in the world channel was already planning to form alliances to fight against the lord of Region 7?"
"Then why don't we do the opposite?"
"Why don't we go form an alliance with the lord of Region 7, and together fight against the other lords? Wouldn't that be quite interesting?"
"Hm?", Hearing this, Luna froze for a moment, "But would the lord of Region 7 accept us?"
"That depends on our sincerity."
Selena adjusted her glasses, "If you, Lord, can bring out something that interests the lord of Region 7, he might agree."
"After all, this A-zone lord competition is a game where ten advance to three."
"If my estimation is correct, this game will turn into a three-faction war. The lord of Region 1 entered with a private army, and on top of that, he seems to have a grudge with the lord of Region 7, so he definitely won't form an alliance with Ethan."
"Therefore, he will inevitably be one of the three factions."
"As for the remaining lords, only Orin from Region 4 is a well-known one. So among the ten lords in the entire A-zone, they will split into three forces, possibly even four."
"But I estimate that splitting into three major factions is the most likely scenario."
"True."
After listening to Selena's analysis, Luna nodded in agreement, "After all, when Orin came over, he brought his entire sect with him. Their sect is called the Blue-something Sect, right?"
"Mm, the Azure City Sect." Selena continued, "Orin is the sect leader, so with their power, they naturally look down on forming alliances with others! However, the other lords, especially some weaker ones, will most likely try to curry favor with them, or even choose to ally with them."
