Chapter 112: The Ancient Savage World, Long Aotian
"Host Su Su, I have something I must tell you in advance."
Before entering the new world, the system said to Mu Lingnan solemnly.
Mu Lingnan immediately had a bad feeling in her heart. She said cautiously, "Go ahead."
"Then I really said it." The system scanned the file again, its synthesized voice trembling slightly as it emphasized, "Host, you must be mentally prepared."
"This world's status is extremely high, and the missions are particularly dangerous. Therefore, the bureau has granted me special permission to serve as a system to better assist the host in completing the mission."
Hearing this, Mu Lingnan became excited. Will she also have a bright future with system plug-ins?
She asked expectantly, "System, what can you do for me now?"
The system is stuck: "Um... I can help you find some background information."
Mu Lingnan was extremely disappointed. She knew that the system was still useless and could not help her.
"Host, with the approval of my superiors, I can introduce you to this world's target person in advance. This world's Destined Child is named Gu Jingyao. He is the son of a prominent family and was born with the Supreme Bone manifested, making him a natural Supreme."
Mu Lingnan: "That sounds amazing."
"He was born to meet the calamity. After enduring hardships, he was supposed to achieve supremacy and become the supreme leader in resisting the invasion of the great darkness."
Mu Lingnan twitched her lips. She knew there was going to be a twist in this sentence. "System, there's no need to elaborate on the previous chapter. Let's get straight to the point."
The system closed the file and concluded, "To make a long story short. There are fifty great ways, and forty-nine heavenly evolutions. Inspired by that glimmer of hope, a powerful being who would one day be slain and punished by Long Aotian observed a glimpse of this future."
"The mighty one is unwilling to be Long Aotian's stepping stone, but he is also unable to cross the vast torrent of time to kill the immature Long Aotian. He cannot bear the cause and effect of reversing the endings of countless worlds, but the mighty one will not just wait to die."
The system suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Host, you should be aware of the existence of time travelers and system cheats."
Mu Lingnan straightened her attitude: "System, you mean..." Of course, she had read quite a few novels with such fashionable settings.
"The powerful one successfully exploited a loophole in the law of cause and effect. He captured a person of extraordinary luck from another world, disguised it as a system task, and guided the 'traveler' to gradually suppress Long Aotian's luck and replace his fate. He then exchanged their identities with the Son of Fortune, thus achieving the goal of stealing the dragon and the phoenix and concealing the truth."
Mu Lingnan asked sharply, "This shouldn't be called a loophole. If that 'traveler' truly inherited Long Aotian's mission completely, wouldn't the world instinctively turn to our headquarters for help?"
"That's right. What the world needs are results, not people. Unearned gains are not a stable foundation, and the path to success is unsuccessful."
"That 'traveler,' with the help of a powerful being, possessed the strength of a strong man, but not his heart. In his original destiny, Long Aotian experienced many hardships and was on the verge of death several times before he realized an invincible heart of Taoism and suppressed all enemies in the world."
"But the 'traveler,' enjoying all the advantages of the system and the child of fortune, lacked the unyielding Dao heart of a strong person. When the terrifying existence descended upon the world, he was defeated. From then on, his Dao heart was shattered, and he no longer had the will to resist the enemy. The dark riot then swept across the universe, and countless worlds collapsed and destroyed."
Mu Lingnan took a deep breath: "So, what do I need to do?"
The system's voice rarely revealed a trace of guilt and shortness of breath: "It's actually very simple. All you need to do is protect Long Aotian during his weakest childhood and raise him up."
Mu Lingnan:
No, she wasn't that great when Long Aotian was weak. How could she protect Long Aotian? Was it her righteousness?
The system also knew that this task was too difficult, so it quickly made a patch: "Host, you have to believe that Long Aotian only needs to get through his weakest period. He will grow up very quickly and kill gods and Buddhas whenever he meets one. It's very worry-free."
What does Long Aotian's future strength have to do with his childhood weakness? System, you are mistaking the concept!!!
Mu Lingnan was furious, but the system wouldn't give her a chance to argue. Fearing she might back down, it pushed her into this world without explanation, encouraging her affectionately, "Host, I believe in you. You can do it!"
Mu Lingnan fainted from anger.
When she woke up again, she had turned into a soft little baby again, carefully wrapped in a delicate swaddling cloth.
The woman leaning on the bed, holding the child, was a little unskilled in her movements. Even without makeup, she was still stunningly beautiful. When she saw her daughter open her eyes, her little hands and feet were nimble and lively, she happily said to the young man holding another child beside her:
"Brother Hao, look quickly." Her slender fingers gently touched the child's delicate face, her eyes full of love. "She is so small and soft. I'm so scared that I might hurt her by accident."
The man called Brother Hao looked at his wife and daughter tenderly. They were everything he vowed to protect and were his most important family.
No, no, Gu Lingnan's beautiful eyes rolled around as she looked at her parents in this life. She felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, she was just born. Can a newborn baby see things so clearly?
It seems that it is more than just clear.
Gu Lingnan blinked her eyes, keenly feeling that she could see more, more invisible and tangible things.
"Brother Hao!"
The woman who had been observing the baby in her arms exclaimed, startling Gu Hao so much that he almost lost his grip on his son. This woke up Gu Jingyao, who had been sleeping peacefully. He burst into tears, his arms and legs stretched out in all directions, causing Gu Hao to panic.
This kid has pretty strong hands and feet.
Gu Hao didn't have time to coax his troublesome son. He put his crying son on the bed and walked a few steps to his wife. He was extremely worried, fearing that something might have happened to his newborn baby daughter.
"Ah Qing, what's wrong? It's our daughter..." What happened?
Luo Qing's eyes were shining brightly. She carefully showed her daughter's little face to Gu Hao, and lowered her beautiful voice:
"Brother Hao, look, our daughter is born with two pupils, one eye with two pupils. This, this..." This is the legendary saintly talent!
Gu Hao was also extremely surprised. He stared at his daughter's unusual eyes for a long time and was speechless for a moment: "Born with double pupils, a saint has come to this world!"
His expression changed instantly, and he warned Luo Qing, "Ah Qing, this matter is of great importance. Let's report it to the clan elders immediately!"
Luo Qing nodded seriously, she gathered the swaddling clothes and held her daughter's tender little body tightly against her chest.
At the last moment before leaving, Gu Hao and Luo Qing, the new parents, finally remembered that they had a son amid Gu Jingyao's increasingly shrill cries. They quickly took their son with them, transformed into a ray of light, and headed towards the place where the elders of the clan were practicing hard.
"He was born with double pupils!"
The old man, with white hair and beard, but the aura of a lion, held Gu Lingnan high up, his expression full of excitement. He laughed heartily: "My ancient clan will produce the future emperor! As for the position of the Human Emperor, my clan's Phoenix Girl can also compete for it!"
In a short period of time, Gu Lingnan was carried around by several people and was far away from the familiar scent of her mother. As a baby, her instinct urged her to cry. Gu Lingnan had tried to endure it for a long time, but she could no longer control herself and started crying loudly.
Gu Jingyao, who was originally sobbing against his father's broad chest, was infected by his sister's crying and started crying heart-wrenchingly again.
The cries continued, leaving the elders, who hadn't personally cared for such a young child in years, looking at each other in bewilderment. They tried to soothe her, but Gu Lingnan's cries only intensified. Luo Qing, a mother, couldn't bear it any longer. She ignored everything else and snatched the child from the elders' arms, hugging her daughter lovingly and whispering soothing words.
On the other side, Gu Hao, who was also in a mess because of his son, only had time to bow slightly to apologize to the respected elders. Fortunately, the elders waved their hands and did not care about this offensive behavior.
The old woman beside him, who looked like a blood phoenix, paid close attention to the twin brother who was born to the man with double pupils. The old man who was holding Gu Lingnan asked, "What's wrong, fourth sister?"
The old woman said, "Brother, this child and the one with double pupils are twins from the same mother." Her eyes sparkled. "Fourth sister dares to guess that this child is also extraordinary."
"You know, from the very beginning of conception, twins will compete for the essence and nutrients sent by the mother. As a result, the successful birth of twins in the Great Wilderness is extremely rare. Born as a twin to a renowned double-pupiled person throughout history, this child doesn't even have the nutrients to become a double-pupiled person, and even has a rather robust body. His talent is probably, if not unprecedented, then at least rare in the world!"
As soon as she spoke these words with such decisiveness, everyone's eyes were fixed on the tiny child in Gu Hao's arms. Gu Hao's hands trembled slightly as he held his son. Could it be that he, Gu Hao, was so lucky to have two children with such extraordinary talents?
The elder with the highest prestige and strength heard what the fourth sister said and nodded slightly: "Fourth sister, you have a point."
The old woman observed the child more carefully. Was it her illusion? She could faintly sense the breath of the rune on the newborn child.
After a long moment, she seemed to recall something. Her hands shook uncontrollably, and she exclaimed in shock, "This child, could it be that he is born supreme?"
"What!"
The old man snatched the baby from Gu Hao's hand and examined it carefully. After this examination, his eagle eyes widened. At this moment, his hands, which had not trembled even when facing the ancient ferocious beast, were trembling slightly:
"Surprisingly, surprisingly, the Supreme Bone... is born!"
Everyone gasped.
According to legend, there was a powerful being among the ancient human race, born like the golden-winged Roc, the true dragon and the true phoenix, possessing his own unique supreme magic, invincible in the world, and worthy of being the Great Emperor of the human race!
Everyone present was filled with excitement. Their lineage was but a branch of the Human Emperor, and now two peerless geniuses had been born. Not to mention the Human Emperor, even the legendary upper realm was a possibility!
"Good, good, good. Double pupils are bright, while the Supreme is in the dark. My ancient clan shall flourish!"
The old man stroked his beard and laughed, "Hahaha, these two are the future hope of our clan. Their double pupils cannot be concealed, but if anyone here accidentally leaks the truth about the Supreme Being, don't blame me for disregarding our bloodline!"
Evil spirit lingered around the old man, and no one dared to look directly into his murderous eyes.
"From today on, we will mobilize the entire clan to cultivate our clan's genius. Anyone suspected of assassinating our clan's genius and destroying our ancient clan's revival plan will be killed without investigation or reporting!"
