Chapter 27
Learning, Utilizing, and Making the Rules!

Seeing Fang Yuan ruthlessly kill Gao Wan, the chat group fell silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

【Chen Lingjun: "How could Fang Yuan be so ruthless? Someone just insulted him a bit, and he wants to kill them? I better not provoke such a ruthless person in the future."】

【Song Jixin: "Fang Yuan is so bold, killing someone in the academy and offending the academy's elders and Mo Yan. He'll have to face the consequences later."】

【Fu Nanhua: "The Mo family won't let this go easily. This time, Fang Yuan is going to suffer. So what if he has been reborn? He is still just a waste with mediocre talent."】

Just when everyone thought Fang Yuan would be punished for this, a multiple-choice question quietly appeared in the chat group.

【Please choose: Do you think Fang Yuan will be punished for this? Why?】

【A. Yes, because Fang Yuan broke the rules.】

【B. Yes, because Fang Yuan killed someone and must pay with his life.】

【C. No, because Fang Yuan exploited the rules.】

【D. No, because Fang Yuan humbly admitted his mistake.】

【Please respond!】

Upon seeing this multiple-choice question, some people quickly made their selections.

【Fang Yuan: "C!"】

【Fang Zheng: "C!"】

【Fu Nanhua: "A!"】

【Congratulations to Fang Yuan for answering correctly, gaining one hundred thousand Dao marks, just a step away from becoming a revered one.】

【Congratulations to Fang Zheng for answering correctly, rising to the strength of a sub-immortal.】

【Fu Nanhua answered incorrectly, his talent downgraded by one rank!】

【Fu Nanhua: "How is this possible?? Why wasn't Fang Yuan punished? He's just an orphan, a waste with trash talent. How could he offend the Mo family and remain unscathed?"】

【Li Baoping: "Fang Yuan killed someone, he should pay with his life!"】

【Feng Tianyu: "Pay with his life?? Haha, where did this kid come from? Does he not understand a bit of social reality? Don't talk about paying with his life; even if Lord Fang Yuan killed their entire family, nothing would happen to him. He's just a mere mortal, while Lord Fang Yuan is the greatest Gu Master. How could he be punished for a mere mortal?"】

【Li Huai: "Even if he doesn't pay with his life, he should still be punished. Could it be that Gao Wan just died for nothing?"】

【Fang Yuan: "A group of people bound by rules, how could you understand the wonders of those rules?"】

...

With a white border, the light curtain continued.

【Fang Yuan killed Gao Wan, and not only did he suffer no punishment, but the Mo family even rewarded him with dozens of Yuan stones.】

【All of this was due to the power of the rules.】

【The records of the human race once stated.】

【The Ancestor of Humanity escaped his predicament because of hope. However, he eventually grew old and frail, lacking the strength and wisdom to continue hunting, even losing his teeth and unable to chew many wild fruits and vegetables.】

【The Ancestor of Humanity felt death gradually closing in.】

【At this moment, the Hope Gu told him: "Human, you cannot die. If you die, the heart will be lost, and my hope will lose its resting place."】

【The Ancestor of Humanity helplessly replied: "Who wants to die? But if heaven demands my death, I have no choice but to die."】

【The Hope Gu said: "There is always hope. As long as you capture the Longevity Gu, you can add new life."】

【The Ancestor of Humanity had long heard of the existence of the Longevity Gu, but he helplessly spread his hands: "When the Longevity Gu is still, no one can perceive it. When it flies, it is faster than light. How could I possibly catch it? It's too difficult!"】

【The Hope Gu then revealed a secret to the Ancestor of Humanity: "Human, never give up hope. I tell you, in the northwestern corner of the earth, there is a great mountain. At the top of the mountain, there is a cave where two Gu insects, one round and one square, live. As long as you can subdue these two Gu insects, there is nothing in the world you cannot capture, even the Longevity Gu is no exception!"】

【The Ancestor of Humanity was at his wits' end; this was his only remaining hope.】

【He endured countless hardships to find this great mountain. Braving all sorts of dangers, he climbed to the top. At the entrance of the cave, he had only a little strength left and staggered inside.】

【The cave was pitch black, and he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. The Ancestor of Humanity walked and walked in the darkness, sometimes bumping into things and injuring himself. At times, he felt the darkness was vast and boundless, as if it were another world, empty except for himself.】

【He spent a lot of time and still couldn't find his way out of the vast darkness, let alone subdue the two Gu insects.】

【Just as he was lost in confusion, two voices came from the darkness.】

【One said: "Human, do you want to capture us too? You should go back; even if you have the Strength Gu, it’s impossible."】

【The other voice said: "Human, retreat. We won't take your life. Even with the Wisdom Gu's help, you may not find us."】

【The Ancestor of Humanity collapsed to the ground, panting heavily: "The Strength Gu and Wisdom Gu have long left me. I have little lifespan left and nowhere to turn. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope in my heart, I will not give up!"】

【Upon hearing the Ancestor of Humanity's words, the two voices fell silent.】

【After a long while, one said: "I understand, human. You have entrusted your heart to the Hope Gu. You mean you will not give up no matter what."】

【The other voice continued: "Since that is the case, we will give you a chance. As long as you can say our names, we will serve you."】

【The Ancestor of Humanity was taken aback; accurately calling out two names from the sea of words was like searching for a needle in a haystack.】

【Moreover, he didn't even know how many characters were in the names of these two Gu.】

【The Ancestor of Humanity hurriedly asked the Hope Gu, but the Hope Gu didn't know either.】

【With no other way out, the Ancestor of Humanity had to grit his teeth and say names. He called out many names, spending a long time, but there was no response from the darkness, clearly all wrong.】

【Gradually, the Ancestor of Humanity's breath grew weaker; in this cave, he aged from old age to twilight years. It was as if the evening sun was gradually setting, half of it already fallen below the horizon, becoming the sunset.】

【The food he brought with him dwindled, his mind slowed, and he had little strength left to speak.】

【The voices in the darkness urged: "Human, you are dying. We will let you go. While you still have time, you can crawl outside the cave and take one last look at this world. But as punishment for offending us, leave the Hope Gu here to keep us company."】

【The Ancestor of Humanity clutched his chest and firmly refused: "Even if I die, I will not give up hope!"】

【The Hope Gu was very touched and responded to the Ancestor of Humanity with all its might, emitting a pure white light. A glimmer of white light emerged from the Ancestor of Humanity's chest.】

【Later, before the Ancestor of Humanity died, he successfully uttered the words "rules" and "regulations."】

【In an instant, the darkness vanished.】

【The two Gu appeared before him. Just as the Hope Gu had said, one Gu was square, called "Ju," and the other was round, called "Gui," together forming "Gui Ju."】

【The two Gu spoke in unison: "No matter who it is, as long as they know our names, we will obey them. Human, since you already know our names, we will serve you. But you must remember, it is best not to let other beings know our names. The more beings that know our names, the more we must subdue them at the same time. Now, you are the first to subdue us; state your request."】

【The Ancestor of Humanity was overjoyed: "Then I command you to first capture a Longevity Gu for me."】

【The two Gu worked together and captured an eighty-year-old Longevity Gu.】

【The Ancestor of Humanity was already a hundred years old, and after consuming this Longevity Gu, all the wrinkles on his face disappeared, his frail limbs filled with muscular vigor, and the breath of youth radiated once more.】

【He sprang up like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate.】

【He joyfully looked at his body, knowing he had returned to the youthful age of twenty!】
