Deep in the night.
Wang Xiao'er stared at the thin booklet of the "Legend of Human Ancestor," his eyes bloodshot with excitement, breath heaving from his nose and mouth.
"Every single word of the Human Path cultivation method Father gave me was absolutely correct! The 'Legend of Human Ancestor' truly is a Human Path classic!"
"I've figured it out now — this part where the Human Ancestor discovers Gu Insects actually contains hidden metaphors for every realm in a Gu Master's cultivation. Light Film, Water Film, Ice Film, Crystal Film!"
"The Human Ancestor and his two companions gained the Immortal Gu of Space, Time, and the Year, Month, and Day within the River of Time — could this mean that a Gu Master needs to spend years and time to gradually accumulate achievements?"
"My level is far, far too low. I can only see this shallow surface layer."
"The Human Path cultivation method says that the most outstanding Gu Immortal Venerables in history all gained tremendous insights from the 'Legend of Human Ancestor,' producing numerous Human Path killer move results."
"I may not be able to compare to them right now, but I have extraordinary hope!"
"The Self Gu…"
"It's always been hidden inside me, but as soon as I began cultivating the Human Path, I discovered it. It must be a Human Path Immortal Gu!"
"Many Gu Insects are described in the 'Legend of Human Ancestor,' but in my eyes, the Self Gu is the most special and legendary of them all."
"Hahaha! With this Immortal Gu, the Human Path is the most suitable path for me!"
"Cultivating the Human Path is absolutely the right choice for me."
Almost simultaneously.
Within the Supreme Immortal Aperture, in the Small Eastern Sea.
"Haha." The mermaid Gu Immortal Tang Qiong couldn't help but laugh out loud. "My clan joining Fang Yuan's ranks and living in the Supreme Immortal Aperture was absolutely the right decision!"
Her face was brimming with excitement, impossible to conceal.
There were three mermaid Gu Immortals in total, all recruited by Fang Yuan some time ago. They led a contingent of merfolk to station themselves in the Small Eastern Sea, living and reproducing here ever since.
The three mermaid Gu Immortals had gradually divided their responsibilities clearly. Yu Zi mainly handled tasks and earned contribution points, Lian Kexin focused on diplomacy and liaising with other tribes and factions, while Tang Qiong primarily guarded the merfolk settlement, defending their home.
After all, abnormal situations frequently erupted within the Supreme Immortal Aperture. Every major tribal settlement needed at least one Gu Immortal stationed there at all times to ensure safety.
Tang Qiong had just received a decree from Fang Yuan, and it revealed the most obvious message.
In the days ahead, Fang Yuan would intensify his efforts to support outstanding juniors from all clans, investing enormous resources to fund their cultivation and improve the Gu Immortal seedlings of every tribe.
To this end, Fang Yuan had set quotas for the Gu Immortals responsible for each clan.
Every year, each major tribe had to cultivate a minimum number of Gu Immortal seedlings.
Meeting the quota would earn Great Love Alliance contribution points.
Failing to meet it would result in punishment.
"The Alliance Master not only treats everyone equally, but he also has a compassionate heart. He's allocating such massive resources to us non-human races, all for the sake of cultivating Gu Masters. Looking through every Venerable in history, there has never been a great being as caring toward us non-humans as Lord Fang Yuan! Even Lord Blessed Land Immortal Venerable — his help for us non-human races couldn't compare to Lord Fang Yuan's."
Tang Qiong's eyes grew moist at the thought.
Blessed Land Immortal Venerable helped non-human races mostly because he saw them on the brink of extinction and couldn't bear it, so he lent a hand.
Fang Yuan was different.
Fang Yuan not only provided the non-human races with an environment of fair coexistence, absolutely no discrimination, and relative stability — he genuinely invested in these non-human races, allowing them to truly flourish and grow.
This was unprecedented.
Before arriving here, Tang Qiong had struggled and fought within the Mermaid Royal Court, weathering storms, enduring oppression from the human race. As a mermaid Gu Immortal, she lived a life of being bullied, body and mind under tremendous pressure.
Upon entering the Supreme Immortal Aperture, she felt everything open up.
Although struggling within the Supreme Immortal Aperture was more exhausting than before in the Eastern Sea — requiring desperate, all-out effort, working sleeplessly for ten or more days being perfectly normal, sometimes even burning out her liver — Tang Qiong loved this place more and more, and to this very day, she cherished this world, this sea!
Because here, there was a fairness and equality that the Five Regions could never offer.
Because here, there was hope in abundance.
Because here, as long as you worked hard enough, as desperately as you could, the effort you put in would be matched by what you received.
Because here, you could clearly feel yourself constantly improving, your tribe rapidly flourishing and growing.
Tang Qiong sent her divine sense into the Information Path mortal Gu once more, reviewing the message she had already read several times over, going through it from beginning to end yet again.
Fang Yuan's decree vigorously encouraged all major tribes to actively reproduce — the more offspring, the better. More children meant rewards, and good children meant rewards too.
For population growth, Fang Yuan had set clear quotas.
Those massive cultivation resources would be distributed to the Gu Immortals of each major tribe over the coming days.
Among them were large quantities of She Li Gu, as well as Pu Yu Gu, Mu Ben Gu, Shui Yuan Gu, Ren Li Sheng Tian Gu, and more.
She Li Gu could directly improve a Gu Master's minor realm, while Pu Yu Gu and the others were rare mortal Gu that could improve a Gu Master's Aptitude!
Their essence lay in inscribing certain Path's Dao Marks onto the Gu Master.
Pu Yu Gu could inscribe Earth Path Dao Marks, suitable for Stone Man Gu Masters to improve their Aptitude.
Mu Ben Gu was suited for the Small People, Shui Yuan Gu for the merfolk, and Ren Li Sheng Tian Gu for pure-blooded humans who lacked Gu Master Aptitude — forcibly opening their aperture for them.
"With these resources, the good days are coming for the tribe."
"There has never been a Venerable like Lord Fang Yuan, one who genuinely cares for every single citizen. No matter how ordinary these people are, his love is like the sun, like a warm wind, reaching everyone at all times."
