[It's obvious that Guts is being completely overwhelmed by the current 220-fold increase in essence from Xiangyang.]
[In reality, not to mention Xiang Yang, among the other True Immortals present, the few with the least amount of essence were 25 times stronger, and the many even reached 55 times stronger. Any one of them would be utterly crushed by him!]
"It's so hard to guess. How many people have a 55x return on their essence? And who could it be?"
Gus remained silent. His experiences in the small worlds, his wanderings through various primordial realms, his numerous adventures, his resistance to the brainwashing of the military race… he thought he had seen a great deal of life.
But he had never seen anything like this before.
[Upon breaking through to become the theoretically strongest, transcendent being in this world, he considered the possibility that the legendary rulers of the Spring and Autumn Period would appear, that perhaps all of them would appear together to celebrate his birth, and that he would be ignored, or that he would explode with a "bang" after collecting all the military seals.]
But he never imagined that he would be forced to acknowledge a father figure by those rulers of the Spring and Autumn Period!
"This is the truth of this world!?" Guts gritted his teeth: "A shadow looming over all the 'Spring and Autumn Period Rulers,' a monster that, in the name of the Father, tames and even devours all those who reach this stage!"
"Didn't the Lord of Spring and Autumn inform you beforehand that there were plundering beasts outside?"
"Weren't you quite famous in the previous simulation? The number one among immortals."
"Hmm... do those five ancient immortals all think you have no hope of breaking through?"
"I should have thought of that sooner! I should have thought of that sooner!"
"This Yuantian Realm is also a huge scam!"
"What about those once-powerful, transcendent gods? Were they also devoured by you? Only a very few who obeyed you became these lackeys!"
"You are the source of all evil!"
【you:"……"】
[Where has this child gone... completely astray!?]
Why is my mind filled with conspiracy theories?
"Because it's just too fucking weird."
[You remained silent for a while, but the child was no longer listening, so you decided to wait a couple of days until the "Return to Truth" CD was ready, and let the facts prove everything.]
“Ges and Xiangyang are the only two people in this group who are younger than me.”
Yun Shou thought for a moment, and realized that in the current timeline, neither of them had been born yet.
As for the others, the youngest, "Chu Xiao," was a Great Emperor who rebuilt his cultivation more than 70,000 years ago. His age may exceed 200,000 to 300,000 years, and it is not impossible for him to be close to one million years old.
Two days later, you split off dozens of hands, which were used to allocate points to the Eight Immortals and other individuals.
Seeing the eager, pleading looks in the others' eyes, Guts assumed you had applied ice to your hands. He knew about that addictive poison from his adventures in the small worlds; it was incredibly harmful. He never imagined there was ice that could even affect gods.
But why not just resist this ridiculous thing with sheer willpower?
[Ten minutes.]
Gus looked at you suspiciously.
He didn't feel any control or addictiveness.
It's simply...getting stronger.
Then comes an increase in wisdom, and a more agile mind, etc.
His mind wasn't altered, or rather, not altered that obviously!
[Because he sealed away his hostility towards you through one of his internal abilities, and after experiencing the blessing of essence, when he compared his current emotions with the previously stored hostility, there was no change!]
"Haven't you thought that it's possible the source of evil in front of you is deliberately making you think this way?"
Could it be that these "gods" were willing to acknowledge him as their father simply for the sake of this weekly advancement?
[This is unacceptable! As gods at the pinnacle of heaven, do they not even have the slightest dignity?!]
Gus took a deep breath; he wouldn't bow down for such a small gain.
[Year 5040.]
After adding the points, you signaled everyone to leave, except for Guts, with whom you had a heart-to-heart talk.
You asked with a smile, "Little Guts, how did you view your father back then?"
Gus's lips twitched slightly, a hint of embarrassment in his voice: "I was ignorant back then, please forgive my foolishness."
You patted his head: "And now?"
"Now I understand that you were willing to risk your life to reveal such a precious ability for the sake of the Yuan Tian Myriad Realms. Without your blessing, the Yuan Tian Realm would face annihilation in the future."
"I'm so glad you could see all this." You patted his shoulder again. "Alright, go on. The Yuan Tian Realm still needs you to save it. I have important matters to attend to, so you should go ahead and do your work."
After Guts left, you quickly returned to your original position.
Countless spirit snakes sprouted from his body, continuing their unfinished battle with the previous enemy.
"It can also be said that countless Xuanwus were split off, after all, as everyone knows, Xuanwu is a snake + turtle."
"Try this move—Ten Thousand Dragons Return to Their Nest!"
[In 5060, your ancestral land, the "Ancient Wilderness," underwent an update, and you declared that you originated from a world of extremely high status.]
[“That place may be the core of the universe. It may seem to only have some weaklings at the fifth or sixth level, but in fact, the supreme laws of the universe flow everywhere…”]
"Speaking of which, you probably don't even know that there is such a thing as the Dao Lord, do you?"
Yun Shou pondered, "That makes sense, after all, the Dao Lord only appeared in the narration of this simulation (Chapter 394)."
(Actually, it only happened once in real life (Chapter 296))
You sighed softly, "When I first arrived in the Azure Domain of the Yuantian Realm, I heard these similar names and thought we were from the same origin. I even thought the Desolate Ancient Domain also came from the Yuantian Realm..."
"There was nothing I could do; I was young then and my horizons were too limited."
"Only now do I realize how terrifying this fundamental ability truly is..."
"However, with all of you here, I believe that when I return in the future, I will definitely be able to take my revenge and annihilate the ancient races!"
You brushed it off: "Whether you understood or not, just add a little something!"
[In 5062, when you passed through the "Nine Heavens Domain," you suddenly saw the domain expand, with a continental block millions of miles in size squeezing out of thin air.]
Above are some panicked insect creatures, seemingly following a "biotechnology route." You can see insect nests everywhere on that land; a sweep of your mental energy reveals a network of interconnected pits.
[A biological insectoid vessel, exceeding one hundred kilometers in length, ascended into the air by blasting massive amounts of air from its jet vents.]
When they spotted you watching the spectacle from the air, the outer shells of the insectoid ship, resembling a fish and a caterpillar, opened on the left and right sides, revealing a bio-chamber inside filled with a thin membrane and slime.
