"Yes! You must save your father, you must." Zhang Cuiping's eyes were red, and her voice trembled as she spoke to Gu Yu.

"I will, Mom, don't worry," Gu Yu said.

"Senior Xu, I need to trouble you to take care of my mother and father for me during this time. I have to go out for a while," Gu Yu said to Xu Xiqiang.

"Where are you going?" Xu Ling'er, who had just entered the room, asked immediately upon hearing Gu Yu's question.

“Let’s go find the Fruit of Life,” Gu Yu replied.

"The Fruit of Life?" Xu Ling'er was taken aback; clearly, she didn't know what the Fruit of Life was.

"I didn't expect you to know about the Fruit of Life?" Xu Xiqiang exclaimed in surprise. "If you could find the Fruit of Life, perhaps your father could indeed recover. However, there's no way the Fruit of Life could exist on Earth right now, unless it's..."

"Inside the Source Gate," Gu Yu replied, "I'm going inside the Source Gate to find the Fruit of Life."

"Inside the Source Gate?" Xu Ling'er was taken aback. "Are you going to the Kunlun Source Gate?"

Of the three source gates that have been opened so far, apart from the Kunlun source gate, the other two source gates were destroyed by nuclear bombs. Under the attack of nuclear bombs, the inside has been basically destroyed, and even if there are life fruits, they have probably turned to ashes.

"No." Gu Yu shook his head. There are no life fruits inside the Kunlun Source Gate. He had entered it in his previous life. If there were any, they would have been obtained long ago.

"Are you going to the other two source gates?" Xu Xiqiang and Xu Ling'er were both taken aback.

"No! I want to go to the Agah Primeval Forest," Gu Yu replied. In fact, many people don't know that there are more than three source gates open so far. Gu Yu isn't sure exactly how many, but he knows that after the three source gates were opened, another source gate opened in the Agah Forest of the United States.

The creatures inside this Source Gate are not very powerful, nor are they very intelligent. The United States can handle them, so they suppressed the news and have been secretly studying the Agah Source Gate, from which they have obtained a lot of information.

Gu Yu went to Aga Yuanmen because someone in his previous life had obtained the Fruit of Life from there.

“The Aga Primeval Forest?” Xu Xiqiang frowned. “The primeval forest does indeed have too many unknowns, but it is absolutely impossible for it to have the Fruit of Life. That kind of thing requires extremely rich source energy to grow.”

“There’s a Source Gate in that place,” Gu Yu said.

"What?" Xu Xiqiang was shocked, and Xu Ling'er was equally shocked. "Impossible. Why is there no report about the Origin Gate appearing in that place?"

“Some creatures from the Source Gate are incredibly powerful, some can even be suppressed with firearms. Those Source Gates aren’t strong,” Gu Yu said. “Time is of the essence, I need to set off immediately.”

Gu Yu only has one month left, so he needs to hurry. Besides, the creatures inside that Source Gate aren't strong compared to other Source Gates. There are still kings inside. Right now, Gu Yu wouldn't even be able to fight a king, let alone a two-star creature. He would have to turn around and run away.

“I’ll go with you!” Xu Ling’er suddenly said.

"No," Gu Yu refused outright. "You can just take care of my parents for me."

Knowing the dangers within the Source Gate, he didn't want Xu Ling'er to risk her life with him. This trip to the villa to retrieve the jadeite rough was extremely dangerous; if Gu Yu had been even a step slower, Xu Ling'er would probably have died.

"I want to go. Even if you don't let me, I will go by myself." Xu Ling'er said stubbornly. Gu Yu looked at Xu Ling'er and felt a little helpless. Gu Yu knew Xu Ling'er's temper very well. In their previous life, they had been together for eight years. Once Xu Ling'er made up her mind, no one could change it. If she said she wanted to go, she would definitely go.

“Alright then!” Gu Yu said.

"What's so good about it?" Xu Xiqiang objected. What a joke! Xu Ling'er was the hope of their Xu family. Putting aside Feng Yuan, Xu Ling'er's talent was the best in the Xu family. She was the first descendant of the Xu family to become a tenth-grade grandmaster at the age of eighteen. How could they let her take risks with a wild boy like Gu Yu?

"Great-Grandpa, I want to go with Gu Yu. No one can stop me, not even if Great-Grandpa comes," Xu Ling'er said stubbornly.

“Uh…” Xu Xiqiang was helpless. He knew Xu Ling’er’s stubbornness better than Gu Yu. Once Xu Ling’er was determined to do something, not even ten horses or ten dragons could pull her back.

"This matter is of great importance; we must hold a family meeting," Xu Xiqiang said, having no other choice.

“Great-Grandpa, just tell them that Gu Yu and I went to find the Fruit of Life, and don’t mention that we went to the Source Gate. I think they will agree,” Xu Ling’er said.

"Huh!" Xu Xiqiang was taken aback.

At this moment, Xu Ling'er gave Gu Yu a look that signaled them to leave, and the two of them instantly disappeared the next second.

"Huh?" Xu Xiqiang finally realized what was happening. "Kid, you'd better protect my great-granddaughter, or I'll skin you alive."

Xu Xiqiang had a terrible headache. How could he possibly tell Xu Ling'er's parents? Especially his second brother, who would probably knock his teeth out if he knew Xu Ling'er had gone to Yuanmen. "Sigh! It seems I can only do as Ling'er says."

Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er originally wanted to go to the bus station to catch a bus, but they found that there were wanted posters for him everywhere in Mocheng, even in Huangbei City. The two wandered around for a day and a night, but did not leave Huangbei City.

It's very simple. No matter what kind of vehicle Gu Yu takes, he has to buy a ticket. Once he buys a ticket, he will be exposed, and then he won't be able to take the vehicle. He will also be surrounded by a large number of law enforcement officers.

Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er racked their brains but couldn't come up with a solution. They realized that they had to take a plane to reach the Aga primeval forest, otherwise it would take forever to get there.

Mo Tai, Luo Nanshan, and Li Demin have been suspended from their duties. He Yaowei is dead. Gu Yu is truly at his wit's end.

"Wait, Commander Shi." Gu Yu suddenly thought of Commander Shi. He could ask Commander Shi for help. Commander Shi was from the Dragon Division.

Because his own phone broke during the battle, Gu Yu could only use Xu Ling'er's phone to make a call. He dialed Shi Shuai's number.

"Hello."

"I am Gu Yu," Gu Yu said directly. If Shi Shuai wanted to arrest him, there was nothing he could do.

"Gu Yu, I've been looking for you for a long time, where are you?" Shi Shuai asked anxiously when he heard it was Gu Yu.

"I'm in the city of Huangbei," Gu Yu replied. "You're not here to arrest me, are you?"

"What are you thinking about?" Shi Shuai was taken aback. He was concerned about Gu Yu, but he never thought about capturing Gu Yu. In fact, he had called his grandfather many times about the wanted notice. Who knew that his grandfather said that the Southwest Source Gate had opened and the Dragon Department did not have the energy to interfere in other matters, and had already sent reinforcements.

Thinking of reinforcements, Shi Shuai looked with disdain at the middle-aged man beside him who was sitting with his legs crossed, holding a bottle of strong liquor, and fast asleep. His brows furrowed involuntarily.

He had known this person since childhood; he was the deputy minister of the Dragon Department. He didn't know his real name, but everyone called him Zui San. He was indeed the deputy minister, but he didn't care about anything. All he did was indulge in a life of debauchery and smoking. As for his cultivation level, he had never seen him and didn't know.

However, Shi Shuai had heard about the major incident this deputy minister had committed: he was robbed of his wine by a homeless man and was beaten black and blue the next day.

This matter caused a great stir in the Dragon Clan. Everyone in the Dragon Clan couldn't understand how this person could be the deputy minister. And of all the people their grandfather could have sent, why did he have to send this person? Wasn't this just ridiculous?

Moreover, after this person arrived, he did nothing at all. First, he borrowed money from me to buy a case of Mendao Lv, a specialty of Huangcheng, and then he started drinking. He would get drunk, sleep, and then drink again after waking up.

“Gu Yu, although we haven’t known each other for long, I think you know me well. My Dragon Division simply doesn’t have the energy to get involved in the affairs of Mo City. The Southwest Origin Gate has opened, and the main force of the Dragon Division has all gone there!” Shi Shuai said.

"The Southwest Origin Gate has opened?" Gu Yu was shocked to hear Shi Shuai's words. In his previous life, the Southwest Origin Gate did not open at this time either. Although it opened earlier than the North Plain Snow Mountain, it was only a few months earlier. Does this mean that the North Plain Snow Mountain Origin Gate will open in a few months?

Moreover, he remembered that the invaders of the Southwest Source Gate were the Golden Clan. Although they were not the strongest among the invaders of various Source Gates, they were still not to be underestimated. Long Aotian died in the Southwest Source Gate.

“Yes, the matter of the Source Gate is probably about to be exposed to the public.” Shi Shuai replied, “Gu Yu, you and I are not enemies. How about we join forces to take back Mo City?”

"I'm sorry, I don't have time right now. I'd like to ask you for a favor. I want to go to the Aga Primeval Forest," Gu Yu said. He couldn't care less about the matters in Mo City right now.

"Go to the Agah Forest?" Shi Shuai frowned. "To flee and seek refuge?"

"No, I need to go there to find something," Gu Yu replied. Escape and seek refuge? Once the Source Gates open in large numbers, where on Earth will be safe? Escape and seek refuge is the most foolish thing to do.

"Looking for something?" Shi Shuai was quite puzzled. What time is it? Why are you still looking for something? Mocheng is on the verge of collapse.

"Because of my father..." Gu Yu recounted his story.

"I see." After hearing this, Shi Shuai immediately understood Gu Yu's current situation and asked, "Where are you now? I'll come find you right away."

“I’m at…” Gu Yu gave a detailed address and then hung up the phone to wait.

"He said Aga Yuanmen?" Just as Shi Shuai was about to set off, Zui San suddenly woke up and asked.

“Yes,” Shi Shuai replied.

"How would he know about the Agyuan Gate? That's a top secret of the United States. Our country paid a considerable price for this intelligence." Zui San asked with some doubt. "Is he the boy you mentioned? You even suspect that he's the person we were ordered to find?"

"Hmm!" Shi Shuai nodded, but he was somewhat surprised. According to Zui San, the Aga Yuan Sect really did exist, even though he didn't know about it.

“Then I must meet him.” Zui San suddenly stood up unusually.

"You?" Shi Shuai asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Let’s go! That kid’s in a bad situation right now. I heard that the Ma, Zhao, and Mo families have sent quite a few people this time, even the eldest son of the Ma family is here. It’s going to be difficult.” Zui San said, taking a sip of Mendao Lv.

"Let's go, Che Tong." Shi Shuai walked out of the room, went to another room, and pushed open the door to call out.

"Any news about Young Master Gu?" Che Tong asked.

“Okay, let’s talk as we walk,” Shi Shuai said. Che Tong hadn’t left yet. He had originally planned to leave, but after hearing that Gu Yu had an accident, he decided to stay. After all, Gu Yu had saved his life, and he didn’t have to repay him with his own life, but he still wanted to repay him.

After waiting for more than an hour, Shi Shuai and his two companions arrived.

"Gu Yu." Looking at Gu Yu, who was wearing a mask and covered up completely, Shi Shuai felt a pang of sadness. Gu Yu had killed the mutated leopard and Fang Jingru in the Northern Plains Snow Mountain, saving a group of people. Gu Yu was a person who had made great contributions, but now he was being treated like this, which was simply heartbreaking.

“Young Master Gu, I, Che Tong, am willing to accompany you to the Aga Primeval Forest,” Che Tong said as he stepped forward.

“That place is fraught with endless danger. If you go there…” Gu Yu didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was already clear: although Che Tong had ninety blood apertures, he wasn’t even a Grandmaster yet, and even protecting himself would be a problem.

"So you're Gu Yu?" Zui San asked after looking Gu Yu up and down.

Upon hearing Zui San's voice, Gu Yu looked at Zui San, and what he saw made him freeze in shock, "Xiang Mo?"

"Huh?" Zui San was stunned when he heard Gu Yu's words. Apart from Long Aotian and Shi Shuai's grandfather, no one else knew his name. Even his file only listed him as Zui San. How could Gu Yu not be surprised?

Gu Yu knew this because in his previous life, he and Zui San had fought side by side many times and could be considered brothers in life and death.

How do you know my name?

"Uh!" Gu Yu blurted out, unable to explain himself. He couldn't very well say that he knew you in his past life, could he? That would make him seem like a lunatic.

"Because he had a dream about you." Xu Ling'er explained when she saw Gu Yu's silence, but Gu Yu's dream was too amazing.

"A dream?" Zui San asked in surprise. "You dreamed about me?"

"I guess so!" Gu Yu said.

"Damn it!" Zui San cursed. "I may not have gone to school, but don't try to fool me! I've never had a dream like this before!"

“Yes! I myself doubt my dream,” Gu Yu said.

"Did you also dream about Aga Yuanmen?" Zui San asked tentatively.

"I guess so!" Gu Yu nodded.

"Damn! Dude, your skills are absolutely amazing. Teach me sometime." Zui San suddenly grabbed Gu Yu's shoulder.

"Huh!" Gu Yu was stunned. He didn't know whether his past life's experiences were a dream or reality. He himself didn't understand what was going on, so how could he hand them over to Zui San?

"You're still living a life of debauchery!" Gu Yu said, frowning as he smelled the alcohol on Zui San.

"That's always been the case," Zui San replied.

Looking at Zui San, others might not understand why he acted this way, but Gu Yu knew that he was a man with a story.

“Gu Yu, Che Tong and I have already prepared the plane tickets to the Aga Primeval Forest. We'll go with you. We'll leave Mocheng to Deputy Minister Zui San,” Shi Shuai said.

"What? You're handing it over to me?" Zui San was taken aback. "How come I didn't know? Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"Minister Zui San, your mission this time is to handle matters in Mocheng. Didn't my grandfather tell you?" Shi Shuai asked.

"I was sleeping, how would I know what we were talking about?" Zui San looked like he didn't want to get involved. When Shi Poshan came to him, he said a lot of things, but he only made out that the Mendao Lv in Mocheng was the best wine, and he came for Mendao Lv.

"Anyway, it's your task, whether you do it or not is your business," Shi Shuai said.

"I hereby order you, as the Deputy Minister of the Dragon Department, that Mo City is now under your jurisdiction," Zui San said, his military rank far exceeding that of Shi Shuai.

“I only listen to my grandfather,” Shi Shuai replied.

"Damn it." Zui San was helpless. Although he was the deputy minister in the Dragon Department, he had never given any orders, so it was normal that no one listened to him.

In the end, Gu Yu, Xu Ling'er, Shi Shuai, and Che Tong boarded the plane, while Zui San stayed behind in Mocheng.

In the office, Zui San took a sip of wine, his languid demeanor gradually clearing. "The Ma family, the Zhao family, the Mo family, I hope you don't go too far, otherwise I won't hesitate to storm your homes."

In the primeval forest, the vines of the trees intertwine, like layers of a large net, or like the dark green seabed, where not a single ray of sunlight can penetrate.

Gu Yu and his group of four explored the area. They were from Aga Yuanmen, a place Gu Yu had heard of in his previous life but had never been to, as it was under the jurisdiction of the United States.

The vast forest would likely require a considerable amount of time to search for.

"How about we split up and search?" Shi Shuai suggested. He could tell that Gu Yu was very anxious. Although he hadn't known Gu Yu for long, he had never seen Gu Yu like this before. In his memory, Gu Yu had always been very calm.

"Otherwise, we can split up and search in two groups," Che Tong also suggested.

"No need," Gu Yu refused. The next second, he stepped forward, a layer of gray light emanating from his body. His pupils turned gray, and a map of the forest appeared in his mind. Although it was only about a mile in radius, it was enough and much faster than searching step by step.

"Is this the perception of a primordial spirit?" Shi Shuai frowned when he saw Gu Yu in front of him. If it weren't for his strong soul perception, he wouldn't know what Gu Yu was doing.

"Have you already entered the Cone Realm?" Shi Shuai thought that after becoming a 12th-grade Grandmaster, one would break through the limit, then unite essence, energy, and spirit, condense the Source Cone, and give birth to the Primordial Spirit.

The Primordial Spirit is the representative of the Vertebra Realm. Anyone who possesses a Primordial Spirit is at the Vertebra Realm, which is a realm that transcends humanity. The power they possess is beyond what humans can achieve. The most obvious point is that their lifespan increases. For example, a cultivator at the Vertebra Realm can live for two hundred years without any problem.

Gu Yu was younger than him. He had not yet reached the Grandmaster level, while Gu Yu already possessed a primordial spirit. Although he knew that Gu Yu had many secrets, these secrets seemed somewhat terrifying.

Gu Yu searched the area but found nothing. Just as he was about to give up, a squad of soldiers suddenly appeared in the area he had explored.

The American soldiers were definitely heading towards Aga Yuanmen, because the firearms they were carrying were quite intimidating and certainly not meant for dealing with animals in the primeval forest.
