Leaving the Game for a Million Years: I'm the Human Race's Holy Emperor

East Region, Gu family, in a small courtyard.

A young man was bare-chested, tempering his body while carrying a giant cauldron.

On the side, two servants watched him with concern.

One servant whispered, "Heaven is truly unfair. Young Master Xichao works so hard every day, so why is his physique a waste?"

"Yes, it's a pity. Young Master Xichao is clearly so diligent," the other servant said, looking at the young man carrying the cauldron with a face full of regret.

The young man was Gu Xichao. Back when he and his younger sister, Gu Xiruo, were sent back to the Gu family by Gu Changsheng, Gu Xiruo was immediately recognized as having the Taiyin Saint Body, even alarming a Saint Ancestor, who valued her and personally taught her.

As Gu Xiruo's elder brother, he naturally received a lot of attention as well, but after multiple detailed tests by the Gu family, they ultimately determined Gu Xichao to have a useless physique that could not absorb the world's spiritual energy.

For Gu Xiruo's sake, the Gu family's higher-ups had considered trying to defy fate for Gu Xichao. Initially, they tried giving Gu Xichao many elixirs and miraculous medicines to change his physique, but after Gu Xichao took them, there was no effect.

In the end, they deduced a method to defy fate, which was for the Saint Ancestor to take action, risking heavenly condemnation, to change Gu Xichao's fate, but this method was ultimately rejected.

Putting aside whether or not this could succeed, was it worth sacrificing a Saint Ancestor for a useless physique?

The Gu family had already exhausted massive resources for Gu Xichao, which was already considered benevolent and righteous; it was impossible to sacrifice a Saint Ancestor for a vague opportunity.

But Gu Xichao never gave up on becoming stronger. Since he couldn't absorb the world's spiritual energy, he would temper his body. He had promised his sister that he would protect her for the rest of his life; if he was too weak, how could he protect his sister?

So, every day, Gu Xichao would spend a lot of time carrying a large cauldron to temper his body.

"Boom!"

Gu Xichao threw the cauldron on the ground, making a heavy sound.

"Young Master, rest for a while," one of the servants advised.

Gu Xichao nodded and said, "You guys go down first, I'll go rest now."

But the servants didn't listen and leave.

Seeing this, Gu Xichao said helplessly, "I promise, I won't secretly train."

Before, because he secretly trained, he almost died from exhaustion. Fortunately, someone happened to pass by his courtyard at the time, otherwise he would have had to say goodbye to his sister.

These two servants were arranged to be by his side to protect him; the Gu family was undeniably good to him.

The two servants looked at each other, then nodded.

"Then Young Master, rest well, we'll come again tomorrow."

After speaking, the two left.

Gu Xichao sat for a long time, confirming that the two had really left, then he walked to the cauldron, preparing to start carrying the cauldron again to temper his body.

Just as he wanted to lift the cauldron, a voice suddenly sounded.

"If you keep training like this, even if you had ten thousand years, you still wouldn't be as good as your sister cultivating for ten years."

Gu Xichao was stunned; this voice was very familiar.

"Senior, is that you?" Gu Xichao asked.

"It's me." Gu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, walked out holding a wine pot.

"Thump!"

When Gu Xichao saw Gu Changsheng, he knelt down with a thud, then kowtowed three times, breaking his forehead.

"Senior, please accept me as your disciple!"

"Oh?" Gu Changsheng revealed a trace of surprise on his face, and smiled: "How do you know I can help you?"

Gu Xichao said: "In recent days, although this junior does not understand cultivation, I also know the status and power of our Gu family. Senior is able to disregard the Gu family as if it were nothing, presumably Senior is the legendary super-powerful being, so Xichao begs Senior to accept me as a disciple. As long as I can cultivate and protect my sister, I am willing to do anything, even be a cow or a horse."

"You are very smart, I can indeed help you embark on the path of cultivation." Gu Changsheng nodded, he had seen from the beginning that Gu Xichao was a useless body that could not be cultivated, sending him and Gu Xiruo back to the Gu family, he also wanted to see the change in Gu Xichao's temperament and whether the Gu family would abandon Gu Xichao.

For more than half a year, he had been keeping an eye on the Gu family, and he was very satisfied with the Gu family's actions and Gu Xichao.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being the family created by me, the Human Race Holy Emperor, full of human touch.

And when Gu Xichao heard that Gu Changsheng could help him embark on the path of cultivation, his face was filled with unspeakable excitement.

But Gu Changsheng said: "But I cannot accept you as a disciple."

"Boom!"

Gu Xichao's heart was like a bolt from the blue, this feeling of hope being ignited and then extinguished made him feel very desperate.

"Why are you so desperate?" Gu Changsheng slapped Gu Xichao's forehead, sending him flying out, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then he fainted.

"Uh…"

"I forgot that this kid is not that rebellious disciple, his body is only a little stronger than ordinary people." Gu Changsheng's face showed a look of embarrassment.

The unconscious Gu Xichao: My life is also a life!

Gu Changsheng woke Gu Xichao up, Gu Xichao looked at Gu Changsheng, his face full of resentment, if you don't want to accept me as a disciple, then don't, why did you hit me?

Gu Changsheng said without blushing or skipping a beat: "Do you know what my surname is?"

"This junior does not know." Gu Xichao shook his head.

Gu Changsheng smiled and said: "Your surname comes from me."

Gu Xichao was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood.

"Gu Xichao greets Ancestor." Gu Xichao knelt down and kowtowed again, and at the same time he understood why Gu Changsheng only gave him and his sister a token at the beginning, and they were able to enter the Gu family, it turned out that the senior was his own ancestor.

"No, it should be called the founding ancestor." Gu Changsheng corrected, there can be many ancestors, but there can only be two founding ancestors.

Gu Xichao was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

But Gu Changsheng did not explain, he said: "Get up, don't kneel at every turn in the future."

Gu Xichao obediently stood up, standing respectfully in front of Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng said softly: "Let me ask you, what are you cultivating for?"

"To protect my sister!" Gu Xichao said decisively.

"Nothing else?" Gu Changsheng asked.

Gu Xichao heard the words, pondered for a while, and then said: "Perhaps at some point, I will become a person who protects the group, but at least now, I am still to protect my sister."

"Very good!" Gu Changsheng was very satisfied with Gu Xichao's answer, if he said something like for the human race, for the peace of the universe, such false and empty words, he would leave without saying a word, and even slap him to death.

But now Gu Xichao's answer proves his own Dao heart, and his Dao heart is very firm. Although this kind of person is easy to go to another extreme, such as if Gu Xiruo is harmed by others for some reason, then Gu Xichao is likely to turn black.

But this situation will not happen, because I am still alive.

"Now I will give you two choices." Gu Changsheng raised two slender fingers.

"First, I will defy fate for you, change your physique, so that you can cultivate smoothly."

"Second, take yourself as a seed, open up the human body's divine treasure, this one is countless times more difficult than the first."

"How do you choose?"

"Founding ancestor, may I ask which one is stronger?" Gu Xichao asked.

Gu Changsheng said: "The Great Dao does not distinguish between strong and weak, but depends on the person who cultivates it."

Gu Xichao understood and nodded, then asked again: "Then founding ancestor, has anyone ever walked both paths together?"

"Yes!"

Gu Changsheng said.

"Then did they succeed?"

"Succeeded."

"Who is it?"

"Me!"

"…"

Gu Xichao suddenly felt an inexplicable aura of forced behavior permeated the courtyard.

"I choose the second one!"

After thinking for a long time, Gu Xichao finally chose the path of opening up the physical divine treasure.

Gu Xichao is very smart, he knows that the founding ancestor will not give him two choices for no reason, obviously, the founding ancestor wants him to choose the second path.

Who knew that Gu Changsheng would look disappointed.

"I thought you would choose both."

"…"

……

Since Gu Xichao chose the second path, then Gu Changsheng began to explain to Gu Xichao how to walk this path.

Gu Xichao also looked at Gu Changsheng very seriously, waiting for his teachings.

But Gu Changsheng said: "You are the third person to choose this path."

"Who is the second?" Gu Xichao asked, he naturally knew that the first was the founding ancestor, so he asked the second.

"Gu Sheng!" Gu Changsheng said.

"Gu Sheng?" Gu Xichao seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"My son." Gu Changsheng smiled.

"I see." Gu Xichao thought that Gu Sheng was the name of an old ancestor, after all, the world only knows that the Desolate Ancient Great Emperor's surname is Gu, but they don't know his real name, who dares to call the real name of a Great Emperor?

"Sit down, I will pass on the cultivation method to you!" Gu Changsheng said.

Gu Xichao obediently sat down cross-legged, then held his breath and concentrated, waiting for Gu Changsheng to pass on the method.

Gu Changsheng gently tapped Gu Xichao's forehead, and then passed on a cultivation method different from the ordinary to Gu Xichao.

Gu Xichao's face changed slightly, and soon, fine sweat broke out on his forehead. He was receiving a lot of information, and he felt dizzy for a while, almost fainting, but he finally persevered with his strong willpower.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Xichao slowly woke up, his eyes full of disbelief.

"There is actually such a technique that requires death to achieve great success." Gu Xichao muttered.

The technique that Gu Changsheng passed on to him was called "Nine Deaths Heaven Technique", as the name suggests, one must die nine times to cultivate to great success.

"Founding ancestor, how many times have you died?" Gu Xichao asked.

"Pa" Gu Changsheng slapped Gu Xichao's head, this time he controlled his strength.

"I haven't died once."

"Then how did you cultivate to great success?" Gu Xichao asked weakly.

"Who told you that I have cultivated to great success?" Gu Changsheng asked, what is this kid thinking?

Although the "Nine Deaths Heaven Technique" was created by him, he has not even achieved the first level, because he has been pushing his enemies horizontally all the way, no one has been able to kill him, and until now, he has not encountered anyone who can kill him.

So his "Nine Deaths Heaven Technique" has never been complete.

"I don't know how many times Gu Sheng that kid has died." Gu Changsheng muttered.

And Gu Xichao's face showed regret after hearing this, and said: "Founding ancestor, can I change the path?"

Gu Xichao suddenly had a feeling that he was Gu Changsheng's experimental subject, and he finally understood why this path was countless times more difficult than the other path, it requires people to die, how could it not be difficult?

"What do you say?" Gu Changsheng looked at Gu Xichao with a smile.

"Cultivate well, look forward to your future."

Gu Changsheng patted Gu Xichao's shoulder, left a bottle of pills, and then left.

Gu Xichao took the unknown pills left by Gu Changsheng, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"Die if I die, it's better than not being able to protect my sister!"

So, Gu Xichao cultivated according to the cultivation method of the "Nine Deaths Heaven Technique".

The first thing was to cut open his heart with a knife, put the pills left by Gu Changsheng into his heart, and with the help of the powerful medicinal power, open the first human body's divine treasure, the Heart's Divine Treasure!
