【Li Huai: “What's the deal with the Fang brothers, Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng? Fang Yuan is a demon, sure, but he’s really good to his younger brother. But his brother resents him so much, it's so cruel!”】
【A Liang: “If I had a brother like that, I’d rather slap him to death!”】
【Fang Zheng: “You guys don't understand! You haven't experienced that kind of pain. What right do you have to judge me? Why is Fang Yuan always one step ahead of me? What good does it do for him to be nice to me? That's not what I want. I want to live a life of my own, not live in his shadow.”】
【Feng Tian Yu: “See? This is your so-called righteous path? This is pure animalistic ingratitude! If it weren't for Fang Yuan, he would have been killed by his uncle and aunt. Now he enjoys the benefits Fang Yuan gives him, eats Fang Yuan's food, and yet he blames Fang Yuan for overshadowing his light! Animal! Apart from your first-rate aptitude, you have no redeeming qualities. What gives you the right to shine?”】
Fang Zheng was speechless. Even Qin Ding Ling, standing beside him, looked at him with disdain.

The screen lit up again.
【Human Race Transmission — Hope and Rules】
【Legend has it that when the world was first formed, it was a wild, savage place, with beasts running rampant. The first human appeared, his name was Human Ancestor. He lived a rough life, eating raw meat and drinking blood.】
【Especially, there was a group of beasts called Hardships, who particularly enjoyed the taste of Human Ancestor and wanted to devour him.】
【Human Ancestor did not have the rock-hard body of a mountain, nor the sharp teeth and claws of a beast. How could he fight against these beasts called Hardships? His food supply was unstable, he spent his days hiding and running, at the bottom of the natural food chain, barely able to survive.】
【At that time, three gu (insect spirits) approached him and said, "If you use your life to nourish us, we will help you survive these hardships."】
【Desperate, Human Ancestor agreed to the three gu.】
【He first used his youthful years to nourish the largest of the three gu. That gu gave him strength.】
【With strength, Human Ancestor's life began to improve. He had a stable food source and the power to protect himself. He became aggressive, defeating many hardships. But he soon faced the consequences. He realized that strength was not everything, it needed to be recovered and rested, not recklessly used.】
【And for the entire herd of Hardships, the power of one man was still too small.】
【Human Ancestor, after much reflection, decided to use his prime years, his middle age, to nourish the most beautiful of the three gu.】
【So, the second gu gave him wisdom.】
【With wisdom, Human Ancestor learned to think and reflect, and he began to accumulate experience. He discovered that using wisdom was often more effective than using strength. With both wisdom and strength, he conquered many previously unconquerable goals, killed more Hardships, and ate their flesh and drank their blood, surviving tenaciously.】
【But good times were short-lived. Human Ancestor aged, and grew increasingly old.】
【This was because he had offered his youth and middle age to the strength gu and the wisdom gu.】
【As a person ages, their muscles atrophy and their minds slow down.】
【"Human, what else can you offer us? You have nothing left to nourish us with." Realizing this, the strength gu and the wisdom gu abandoned him without mercy.】
【Human Ancestor, stripped of his strength and wisdom, was discovered by the Hardships and surrounded by the herd. He was old, he couldn't run, and he had lost all his teeth, unable to chew even wild fruits and vegetables.】
【He collapsed helplessly to the ground, surrounded by the Hardships. His heart was filled with despair.】
【Just then, the third gu said to him, "Human, offer yourself to me. I can help you escape the hardships."】
【Human Ancestor, shedding tears, said, "Gu, what else do I have? Look, the strength gu and the wisdom gu have abandoned me. I only have my old age. Compared to youth and middle age, old age is insignificant, but if I offer my old age to you, my life will end immediately. Now, though I am surrounded by Hardships, I won't die right away. I want to live a little longer, even for a second. So, go away. I can't offer myself to you anymore."】
【But the gu said, "Of the three of us, I require the least. Human, you just need to give me your heart."】
【"Then I will give you my heart." Human Ancestor said, "But gu, what can you offer me? In this predicament, even if the strength gu and the wisdom gu returned to my side, it wouldn't change anything."】
【Compared to the strength gu, this gu was the weakest, only a tiny speck of light. Compared to the wisdom gu, this gu was the dimmest, only emitting a faint white light, not at all dazzling or magnificent.】
【But when the human offered his heart to this gu, the gu suddenly burst into infinite light. In that light, the Hardships cried out in terror, "It's the Hope gu! Retreat, we Hardships fear hope most of all!"】
【The herd of Hardships panicked and retreated.】
【Human Ancestor was stunned. From that moment on, he understood—in the face of hardship, give your heart to hope.】

Sword Coming Realm.
"Heh, this legend from the gu world, it seems so childish!"
Ning Yao laughed lightly, "Who doesn't know that when you face difficulties, you have to give your heart to hope?"
Chen Qing Du didn't laugh.
For Ning Yao, this was a trivial matter.
It's simply because Ning Yao has a firm Dao heart. Even if she encounters enormous difficulties, she won't give up.
Just like when she encountered Qi Jing Chun in the town, even knowing she couldn't defeat him, she still drew her sword.
But among the countless human beings in the world, how many are like Ning Yao, a top-notch genius?
Most people, when facing difficulties and hardships, choose to escape.
Some people even stumble upon the slightest setback and feel infinite despair, as if the sky has fallen, and resort to self-harm.
While this human race tale is simple, it carries a profound meaning.
The human race is weak, they don't have the claws of beasts nor the wings of birds, yet they were able to survive in the wild era. The reason lies in two words—hope!
