Sure enough, when this guy learned that Gu Yu would give him an endless supply of source stones after the matter was settled, he immediately showed joy. This scene was similar to the one when Gu Yu tricked the Corpse Beetle King.

Then, the three-headed Mandora gave a drop of her blood to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu immediately released a drop of his blood, made a hand seal, and an ancient rune appeared. The two drops of blood flew towards the ancient rune. Then, Gu Yu injected a wisp of his primordial spirit power into the rune, and the rune flew towards the three-headed Mandora.

Looking at the ancient runes, the three-headed Mandora didn't hesitate and let the runes fly to the forehead of one of its heads before disappearing into its brow.

Instantly, a binding force emanated from the three-headed Mandora, whose pupils suddenly became confused and dull. At this moment, Gu Yu discovered that he and the three-headed Mandora had a slight connection in their primordial spirits.

Buzzing...

Streams of energy emanated from the forehead of one of the three-headed Mandora's heads, causing the three-headed Mandora's eyes to become increasingly dull, before gradually regaining their clarity.

As its eyes regained their clarity, Gu Yu immediately heard the voice of the three-headed Mandora in his mind, "Master, Daddy."

"Uh!" Upon hearing this address, Gu Yu was taken aback. What kind of address was this? Why did it make him feel uneasy?

"Master Daddy! I'm so hungry!" The little three-headed Mandora's voice came again.

"Besides eating Originium, what else do you eat? By the way, I'll give you a name from now on, let's call you Three Dragons!" Gu Yu said, looking at the three-headed Mandora. This guy has three dragon heads, and if you don't look at his body, he looks like three dragons.

“Master Daddy! Sanlong is so hungry! Sanlong likes to eat Originium, but if Master Daddy doesn’t have any Originium, it would be nice to give Sanlong some meat.” The three-headed Mandora said.

“This…” Gu Yu thought for a moment. Eating meat was fine, but seeing the pitiful look on the little three-headed Mandora, he took out another two hundred high-grade source stones.

Upon seeing the high-grade Originium, the three-headed Mandora immediately began to munch away again.

"By the way, you can just call me Big Brother from now on, you don't need to call me Master Dad!" Gu Yu said, feeling that this form of address was really wrong.

"Okay, big brother." After finishing the Originium, the three-headed Mandora patted his belly.

"By the way, do you have any supernatural powers that allow you to shrink?" Although this is a miniature three-headed Mandora, is it really that small? When it spreads its two large wings, they are probably thirty meters long. Calling it small only means it is compared to the giant three-headed Mandora from before.

"Big brother, I have it." After the three-headed Mandora finished speaking, its body suddenly moved and instantly became about the same size as Gu Yu.

"Couldn't it be any smaller?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the three-headed Mandora, which was about the same size as him.

“Big brother, I can possess you,” the three-headed Mandora said after thinking for a moment.

"How did you attach yourself to me?" Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard the three-headed Mandora's words.

The next second, the three-headed Mandora suddenly transformed into a black lightning bolt. The next second, it instantly landed on Gu Yu's right hand. Gu Yu immediately felt a heat in his palm, and the next second he discovered that there was a tattoo the size of a thumb on his palm, and the tattoo was exactly the image of the three-headed Mandora.

"Big brother, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep," said the three-headed Mandora.

"Then go to sleep!" Gu Yu nodded and said after hearing what the three-headed Mandora said. It was time for him to leave the Source Gate World. He wondered how things were outside. Had the Four Guardians and Hua Shen retrieved the Qilin Totem?

Gu Yu moved to leave, but the next second he stopped and froze in place, because he felt something soft hugging his legs.

This immediately drew his gaze to his feet, where a chubby, adorable little girl was dressed in red and was looking at Gu Yu with teary eyes.

How could there be a little girl? Gu Yu was utterly shocked. He was already baffled that the three-headed Mandora's egg had survived the explosion of the Hammer of Annihilation, and now a little girl in red had appeared. Moreover, this child showed no trace of a cultivator's aura and appeared to be about three years old. How did she survive the explosion of the Hammer of Annihilation? This was simply unbelievable! Could she be a monster? But her aura was clearly human!

"Daddy." Just then, the little girl suddenly uttered two words, which made Gu Yu stand there straight, speechless for a long time.

First, the three-headed Mandora called him "Dad," and now a little girl has appeared calling him "Dad." This... the key question is, where did he get such a big daughter? Is he destined to be someone's father today?

"Daddy! Hug me." The little girl looked at Gu Yu with teary eyes, which softened Gu Yu's heart. He actually bent down and hugged the little girl in his arms. Yes! He did have a dream of having a daughter.

"Where did you come from?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the little girl. He didn't believe that the little girl could survive the explosion of the Hammer of Annihilation. Moreover, he hadn't noticed any trace of the little girl just now, and he hadn't even noticed how she appeared next to him. Therefore, Gu Yu concluded that the little girl had appeared suddenly.

"Daddy, I came from there." The little girl suddenly pointed to the spatial rift in the air.

Buzz……………

This left Gu Yu standing there, stunned. A sudden thought struck him: he didn't think the little girl was lying, because her eyes were so sincere, and that childlike innocence was genuine.

"You came from a spatial rift?" Gu Yu was still somewhat incredulous. It was hard to imagine how the little girl had survived in a spatial rift. Even he would have been instantly torn apart by the spatial storm if he had entered it.

“Daddy, that’s where I came from,” the little girl said innocently again, pointing to the spatial rift.

"What's in there? Are you all alone?" Gu Yu asked the little girl.

"No, there's also a bald grandpa," the little girl said after thinking for a moment.

"Bald grandpa?" Gu Yu frowned. Something felt off. He was the father, and the bald man was the grandfather... This...

"Where did the bald grandpa go?" Gu Yu asked.

"I don't know." The little girl shook her head. "He said you were my dad, and then I came to you."

"Hmm?" Gu Yu frowned upon hearing the little girl's answer. Sure enough, the little girl couldn't have survived in the spatial rift. It must have been the bald grandpa she mentioned who saved her. But what level was the bald grandpa? How could he survive in the spatial rift and even have the strength to protect a defenseless little girl? Could it be that there are worlds within the spatial rift?

"Is that bald grandpa really your grandpa? Have you been living in the spatial rift all this time?" Gu Yu asked the little girl again, his mind filled with questions.

“Dad, I don’t know either. When I opened my eyes, I saw Grandpa Baldy. He said to take me to find Dad, and that’s how I found you,” the little girl said.

"Holy crap..." Gu Yu was stunned again upon hearing the little girl's words. Could this little girl have been born from a spatial rift? Gu Yu couldn't think of any other explanation.

How could such a young girl, with no cultivation, possibly break through space and enter the spatial rift? Could it be the bald man he mentioned? But who is this bald man? Why does he claim to be the little girl's father? And why is he her grandfather? Isn't he taking advantage of me?

"Daddy, will you abandon me?" The little girl suddenly looked at Gu Yu with teary eyes.

“This…” Looking at the adorable little girl, Gu Yu was at a loss for what to do. He suddenly looked at the spatial rift, “Senior, are you still there? What exactly is going on? Where are his biological parents?”

Gu Yu asked for a long time, but no one answered his questions.

"Daddy, please don't abandon me, okay?" the little girl pleaded, looking at Gu Yu.

Looking at the little girl in his arms, and then at the spatial rift, he thought, "Good heavens! Don't joke around, where did he get such a big daughter? He's only nineteen years old."

"Daddy, Niu Niu is scared. Daddy, don't abandon Niu Niu. Niu Niu will be very good. Niu Niu will listen to Daddy." The little girl said this as she looked at Gu Yu's strange expression, tears streaming down her face. This immediately softened Gu Yu's heart.

"Sweetie, I won't abandon you." Gu Yu patted the little girl's head, intending to find a piece of candy, but found he didn't have any.

After glancing at the spatial rift and then at the little girl, Gu Yu, though filled with doubts, still carried the little girl towards the outside of the Source Gate.

Shortly after Gu Yu left, a bald man suddenly emerged from the spatial rift. The bald man had a scraggly beard and his clothes were tattered, but his bald head shone brightly.

"Phew! I finally found the exit. I almost got lost in the spatial rift!" the bald man murmured. "I have to thank that little girl. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to find my way. Hmm! You two have quite a connection."

"Alas! After all the hardships, I've exhausted almost all my strength. I'm afraid I'm not even as good as a true god now. I should rest and recuperate!" The bald man looked at his body and murmured.

At this moment, Ri Jiu, Zhang Huangling, and the cockroach king, corpse beetle king, and rat king that Gu Yu had subdued were still waiting for Gu Yu's return outside the Source Gate. As the energy of the World-Destroying Hammer gradually dissipated inside the Source Gate, they were all preparing to enter the Source Gate to find Gu Yu. Just then, a familiar figure appeared before them.

"Gu Yu." Upon seeing the figure that suddenly appeared, Ri Jiu was immediately overjoyed and rushed forward to hug Gu Yu tightly.

These past few days have been agonizing for her. Although everyone says that Gu Yu is not dead, she is still worried about him.

Gu Yu gently patted Ri Jiu's back. "I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Daddy, is she Mommy?" At this moment, a childish voice rang out, which made Ri Jiu frown. Then he looked at the girl next to Gu Yu, who was wearing a red dress.

"she is?"

“Mommy, I am Daddy’s daughter,” the little girl replied.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, not only Ri Jiu, but also Zhang Huangling and Gu Yu's three underlings were taken aback.

Gu Yu's daughter? How old is Gu Yu? Where would he get a daughter?

“Rijiu, this is me…” Gu Yu pulled Rijiu aside and hurriedly told her about the little girl.

"You mean she came from a spatial rift?" Ri Jiu was shocked after hearing Gu Yu's explanation.

“Gu Yu, I once read in the books of the Fox Clan that spatial rifts are so powerful that even a True God would be torn apart if he entered one. Although the Great Emperor is not afraid of spatial storms, he would still get lost. Only those at the Ancestral Realm can traverse spatial rifts,” Ri Jiu said.

"I'm also curious. Do you think the bald guy she mentioned could be a Grandmaster?" Gu Yu asked Ri Jiu.

“If what she said is true, then it’s very likely,” Riju nodded and said.

"Zu Jing, the little girl, what exactly is their relationship? Why would Zu Jing send the little girl to him?" Gu Yu thought and thought, but he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Daddy, Mommy, what are you talking about? Are you not planning to have Niu Niu anymore?" The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked in the direction where Gu Yu and Ri Jiu were, asking.

"Are you called Niu Niu?" Ri Jiu walked towards the little girl, squatted down, and asked her.

To be honest, this little girl is very cute and lovable, and she seems to have a resemblance to Gu Yu. If she didn't know that Gu Yu couldn't possibly have a child, she would even think that this little girl is Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er's child. In fact, these little girls also have a resemblance to Xu Ling'er.

"Mommy, my name is Niu Niu," the little girl said.

"Do you know your own surname?" Rijiu continued to ask.

"I don't know." The little girl shook her head, then suddenly she thought of something, "Whatever my dad's surname is, that's my surname too. I think my dad's surname is Gu! So I'll be called Gu Niu Niu."

"Damn." Gu Yu rolled his eyes when he heard Niu Niu's words. This girl had already come up with a name for herself. However, if he really had a daughter like this, it would be quite nice.

"Mommy, why don't you want Niu Niu anymore?" The little girl suddenly remembered something, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Ri Jiu and asked.

"Uh!" Hearing her question and seeing her teary-eyed appearance, Ri Jiu was stunned. She could swear that she had never had a daughter, and it was even more impossible for her to abandon the other person.

"Niu Niu, be good. Mommy will never abandon you." Looking at the pitiful little girl, Ri Jiu patted her head and gently wiped away her tears, saying.

"Mommy, hug me." Niu Niu reached out her hands and said to Ri Jiu.

Rijiu picked up Niu Niu, and at this moment Gu Yu asked Zhang Huangling.

"Brother Zhang, have the Four Guardians and Hua Shen retrieved the Qilin Totem yet?"

"Alas!" Zhang Huangling sighed sadly. "Brother Gu, China has been defeated. The Four Guardians and the God of China are all dead."

"What?" Upon hearing Zhang Huangling's words, Gu Yu's eyes widened suddenly. This news was simply devastating. Defeat was one thing, but the four guardians and Hua Shen were dead.

Their existence is the cornerstone of China, capable of deterring all. Without them, China is in grave danger! This is nothing short of a bolt from the blue.

"Has the Holy Mountain attacked us?" Gu Yu asked.

“No, the twelve Star Emperors on the Holy Mountain are all dead. However, the matter of the Source Gate has been announced to the world, and a peaceful defense plan is being prepared. This is called the Fortress Plan, and people in many places are being relocated,” Zhang Huangling said.

“Project Fortress.” Gu Yu frowned upon hearing Zhang Huangling’s words. With the deaths of the four guardians and Hua Shen, the pro-war faction had essentially lost its high-end combat power and was no longer able to suppress the other factions. However, Project Fortress was still a good thing, at least it prevented the surrender faction from taking power.

“Gu Yu, Project Fortress actually has its advantages. We’re already exhausted from fighting, and four more points of light have appeared within China’s borders. It probably won’t be long before it’s activated,” Zhang Huangling said. “Furthermore, the powerful figures from those Western countries have united to deal with China, while most of the Chinese families and sects are choosing to ignore them, not to mention the financial magnates. China is currently beset by internal and external troubles, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Project Fortress is the only plan that can protect China. Alas!”

"The Western powers." Gu Yu frowned. Last time, the Pope of the Holy See, Kyle, the vice leader of the GZ Alliance, and the Emperor of the Sakura Kingdom all died at the hands of the Old Master. They must be extremely hateful towards China now. Now that China has been defeated and no longer has the four guardians and the God of China to intimidate the world, they will definitely take advantage of the situation. The current situation is really more ominous than hopeless!

"In the Barrier Project, was Mo City a relocated city or a fortified city?" Gu Yu asked. In that memory, Mo City was a relocated city, but that was, after all, a memory obtained through spying, and there were many discrepancies between it and what actually happened.

"We're relocating the city, but don't worry, He Wen has already gone back," Zhang Huangling said.

"Where is Mo Shougui?" Gu Yu asked again. Mo Shougui was the representative of the defensive faction, and he was the one who proposed the Fortress Plan. Mo City was to be relocated, which he could not allow. He had to go and talk to the other party.

"I don't know, maybe he went to negotiate." Zhang Huangling smiled and replied. Mo Shougui is now the strongest person in China, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and he can't fight him. He's probably negotiating.

"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed. He never expected that guarding the Northeast Source Gate, which was originally a good thing, would turn out like this. The four points of light represent the four Source Gates. Coupled with the Western powers taking advantage of the situation, it seems that the end of the world is really coming.

“Rijiu, you take the Corpse Beetle King, Rat King, Cockroach King, and Niu Niu home. I’m going to find that old guy, Mo Shougui,” Gu Yu said. “By the way, does anyone have a cell phone? Give me one.”
