REVEREND INSANITY
Chapter 5: The First Man and Gu 3, The Hope of Resurrection
The surroundings fell silent for a moment before everyone turned their eyes to him.
“This is getting interesting. Fang Yuan silently smiled inside. In front of everyone, he had passed through the river and stepped onto the riverbank opposite him.
In an instant, he felt a layer of pressure.
This pressure came from within the spiritual spring. The overflowing ancient Qi emitted by the spiritual spring was the cause of the pressure.
Quickly, the flower bushes under Fang Yuan's feet began to release many points of light.
Those glowing spots floated around and then covered Fang Yuan's entire body, disturbing him.
“This is Gu of Hope. Fang Yuan whispered inside. Although the person in charge did not say much, he had clearly understood it.
Every glowing place was Gu's thread.
The name Gu is Hope.
There is an ancient folklore about this Gu of Hope.
Legend has it, at the time this world had just formed, it was an uncivilized world with wild animals raging everywhere. When the first human type appeared, he was the Human Ancestor – Ren Zu. He ate raw meat and poultry. Hence, he lived a difficult life.
Especially with a group of wild animals called Predicaments. They liked Ren Zu's meat and always wanted to taste it.
Ren Zu did not have a sturdy body like a rock mountain or extremely sharp claws. How could he fight with this beast? The food source is becoming more unstable. He's been hiding all day. Being the lowest in the food chain, it seems like his life is getting threatened.
However, at that moment, there were three Gu who deliberately came to him, they said, “If you use your life to support us, we will help you through this obstacle. ”
Ren Zu was at a dead end, he could only accept Gu's third charge.
First, he used his youthfulness of adolescence to nurture the largest of the three Gu. Gu then gave him strength.
With strength, Ren Yu's life changed for the better. He began to have a stable food source and was able to protect himself. He loved fierce battles and had destroyed many Hardships. However, the pain came quickly. He then realized that the power was not omnipotent. Rather than using it recklessly, it also required recovery time and training.
Moreover, with the entire herd of Difficulties, she was only a small entity.
After learning the painful experience, she decided to use her middle-aged and royal powers to feed the prettiest Gu of the three.
Soon, the second Gu gave him Wisdom.
Ren Zu had accepted Wisdom and then began to gather experience after learning about thought and introspection. He realized that sometimes it was better to use his mind than to use force. Thanks to his wisdom and strength, he achieved many things that he could not do before, obliterating even more Difficulties. He ate their flesh, drank their blood, and used this tenacity to survive.
But the pleasant hours passed quickly; ren Zu was old now. He's getting old.
This was because he had devoted his teenage and middle-aged life to the Gu of Power and the Gu of Hope.
His body withers with age. He can't be happy anymore.
“You are human, what can you give us now? You have nothing more to offer us. Gu of Power and Gu of Hope coldly left after noticing that.
Ren Zu had lost his strength and wisdom. He was quickly detected and surrounded by Adversity again. He was old; he did not have enough strength to run. His teeth were also gone; he could not even chew wild fruits.
He lamely fell to the ground while many Difficulties surrounded him. In his heart, there was only depression.
Right at that moment, the third Gu told him. “Human, present me, I can help you escape from Adversity. ”
The Gu said, “Among the three, my needs are the smallest. Man, you just need to give your heart to me. That's enough . ”
“Even if I give my heart, Gu ah, what can you give me?” Ren Zu said, “This is a deadlock. Even if the Gu of Power and Wisdom have both returned to me, they still cannot change a single thing. ”
Compared to the Gu of Power, this Gu was the weakest. It's just a glowing place. It was also the dimest contrast with the Gu of Wisdom. This Gu could only emit a faint white light and did not have the slightest bit of beauty or splendor.
However, after the human offered his heart to Gu, this thread of Gu suddenly let out an astonishing light, illuminating the entire environment. Flock of Difficulty shouting, “This is Gu of Hope, quickly retreat. We have the most difficulty in fearing hope. ”
The Difficulty Group then fled horribly.
Ren Zu widened his eyes. From this moment onwards, he knew – faced that Difficulty, he only needed to give his heart to the Gu of Hope.
Simultaneously, the Gu of Hope had gathered and turned into a cluster of rays, disrupting Fang Yuan's body.
Due to the pressure from the outside, they quickly fused into Fang Yuan's stomach, staying at three cun [1] below his navel, spontaneously forming a group.
Fang Yuan instantly felt his pressure decrease.
He started walking, moving forward.
With each step, one after another, the Gu of Hope continuously plunged down from the sea of flowers, gathering around his body and merging with the clusters of light.
The group of light was getting bigger and brighter.
However, the person in charge on the other side of the river frowned.
“Number of Gu of Hope seems to be quite a bit. “The group of elderly who focused on Fang Yuan in the darkness could not help feeling solemn at the sight of this scene.
The clan head also furrowed his brows. This shouldn't be a situation that happens to A-grade talent.
Under the pressure, Fang Yuan continued walking forward.
“Under ten steps have no talent for cultivating. Ten to twenty steps was a D class talent. Class C proficiency ranges from twenty to thirty steps. Thirty to forty steps would be ranked in B grade while forty to fifty were A grade talents. As of now, I've walked twenty-three steps. ”
“Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six. . . . .. twenty-seven . Fang Yuan silently counted inside. When he was at the twenty-seventh step, as if a loud BANG had reverberated, the cluster of light within his stomach had reached its limit, suddenly bursting out violently.
This explosion only occurred within Fang Yuan's body. Outsiders could not recognize him. But Fang Yuan felt an earth-shaking mystery back then.
In a short time, the hair all over his body had stood up; the pores stiffened, his mentality like a tightly stretched bow, suddenly stiffening.
Immediately after, his head was like a void while his body grew weaker. It was as if he had fallen on a mountain peak surrounded by white clouds. The heartbeat inside him began to loosen; his hair was broken as the pores all over his body opened.
Immediately, sweat began to pour out on his body.
This process is neither quick nor short. It came quickly, but also left abruptly.
Fang Yuan was stunned but he seemed to have regained consciousness after a flash.
In the darkness, he calmed his mind then continued the sensing within his own body. He soon found a hole that appeared out of nothing, located between his two kidneys under his stomach.
He managed to open the gap!
This was his hope for eternal life !!
