Chapter 143: The Child Recognizes His Mother: Gu Jiangming

There are many difficult problems placed before Gu Jiangming.

But in this Reincarnation, Gu Jiangming's main storyline is still relatively simple, because the center of the plot actually revolves around this good son of his, Gu Nianmo.

It is just that what Gu Jiangming finds thorny is—this good son of his not only has a personality that follows Gu Jiangming, but also possesses the distinct characteristics of Liu Moran.

And yet, the core of resolving the situation lies precisely with this son, Gu Nianmo.

Especially since Gu Nianmo's talent is flawless; one could even call it a historical-level talent, equivalent to a true genius, one in ten thousand, the kind that appears once in ten thousand years.

As long as this child is born, with him as the main thread and the guiding force of the plot, once it reaches the present world, Gu Jiangming will be at an impasse.

And the impasse is precisely here.

This child recognizes his mother.

Gu Jiangming cannot say that for the sake of one son, Gu Nianmo, he should abandon his daughter, Gu Mingyue.

This daughter is still waiting.

Gu Jiangming pondered in his heart for a moment.

There is another theory, which is to give birth to Gu Mingyue with Jiu Jiu in this life, and with this support point, arrive at the timeline of the present world.

And now, the sharp point of the conflict is clearly not between Gu Jiangming and any one romantic interest, but the conflicts between those romantic interests of Gu Jiangming.

Jiu Jiu's personality is clearly strong; she naturally is unwilling to accept a status where she is ranked below others.

Because these romantic interests have no relational anchor; they are all strangers who do not know each other, and their only commonality is that they were all once Gu Jiangming's romantic interests.

The re-reincarnation of the Mount Shu Dao Venerable brought Gu Jiangming his former cultivation and also allowed the inheritance of Mount Shu to continue.

But this point is clearly insufficient to make them resolve their hostilities.

As for the title of "Primary Wife," to whom should it belong?

In Gu Jiangming's heart, his first romantic interest should theoretically be Jiu Jiu, but looking at history pushed further back, the earliest romantic interest is actually Long Xi.

But a new problem has also appeared.

However, this main storyline leads to a dead end at the finish; he must develop a new way to break the situation.

Gu Nianmo comes knocking, and there is also his daughter Gu Mingyue holding on, because to tell the truth, Gu Mingyue's talent is also not low; she just lacks sufficient time to realize her talent.

Of course, it is not to say there is absolutely no turning point.

Proceeding with the original plot as usual, even if he returns to the timeline of reality, Gu Jiangming still cannot handle these intricate interpersonal relationships.

Gu Jiangming has thought until his mind is nearly worn out; returning to Liu Moran's side is indeed returning to the main storyline.

In this re-reincarnation, Gu Jiangming does not necessarily have to walk toward a tragic ending; he can very well find a way to make himself stronger.

Therefore, the problem now is very serious; Gu Nianmo clearly does not wish for his father to create complications.

Furthermore.

"Gu Nianmo comes knocking; as long as he, the father, is stronger than the son, can't he solve the problem directly?"

The main thing is that these romantic interests appeared in different timelines.

Perhaps my main storyline should be to make myself stronger?

Handling the relationships between these romantic interests is indeed the most important obstacle blocking his path, but the meaning of Reincarnation, to a certain extent, also belongs to Gu Jiangming's trial ground.

Gu Jiangming cleared the clouds to see the mist, but this method of solving the problem also brought about an inevitable question: what should Gu Jiangming do to surpass Gu Nianmo's template?

This kid's talent template is simply of the Heavenly Dao protagonist type.

It is completely unreasonable.

"The effect brought by the Heart of an Innocent is that it allows me to continuously improve the techniques and divine abilities I possess. As long as the Heart of an Innocent and the Innate Proud Bone trigger their effects simultaneously, I have a very strong growth curve."

"The Reversing Ninth Layer Immortal is not the final template; it might still have a brand-new upper limit. By using the Reincarnation Simulation method, I have already evolved it once from the 'Hundred Refinements to Immortality' technique. Why can't I continue to evolve the Reversing Ninth Layer Immortal again within the Reincarnation?"

"This is equivalent to the self in the Reincarnation Simulation having already laid a very good foundation; as long as I continuously strengthen it on his basis, I can create change."

Gu Jiangming pondered internally, and his thoughts instantly brightened; as long as his cultivation succeeds, the situation will instead be much more manageable.

【You wandered around for a long time and found yourself somewhat lost, unable to find the way back. In this state of long-term struggle with yourself, your intuition has become sharper.】

【Your Will +3.】

【You traveled continuously for three months, and your Reversing Ninth Layer Immortal has been cultivated to the third layer.】

【But you do not intend to continue cultivating; instead, you use these three layers as a foundation to see if there is room for further refinement.】

【You perceive that someone might be secretly interfering here, but they have no intention of harming you.】

【Soon, this secret realm automatically dissipated. The other party seemed to have no malice; they just wanted to slow down your journey back.】

【But you were also in no hurry to return to Liu Moran's side; instead, you were thinking about how to make good use of this short period of time to successfully refine your cultivation.】

【However, in this world, crises are everywhere, and the Demon Race that plagues the land is everywhere. They view the Human Race as food and as Slaves. You have many places to show your skills.】

【After possessing a certain level of cultivation, you decide to try slaying demons and eliminating devils to increase your comprehensive abilities.】

【You spent seven days sweeping through a place called Lianyun City.】

【From the messy, ruined temples outside the city to the dilapidated government office inside the city, you fought all the way to the dwelling place where the Demon Race resided in the city.】

【Your combat techniques evolved as a result, and the Reversing Ninth Layer Immortal seemed to have some kind of agitation and change.】

【Under long-term pressure and slaughter, as well as your time spent with Liu Moran, you have gained some evil nature.】

【Within your heart, an Inner Demon has also emerged.】

【And the change in the Reversing Ninth Layer Immortal lies in this demonic nature that has emerged in your heart.】

【You already have the aspect of entering the Demon Dao, but for you, whether it is the righteous path or the Demon Dao, the only one who can master these directions is yourself.】

【Whether it is demon or immortal, you believe that one must measure a person's character from the results and the starting point.】

【Moreover, the Demon Dao speaks of "freedom from within," which is a way of handling affairs that transcends Reincarnation, unconstrained by worldly ethics and Reincarnation, and unrestrained.】

【You ignored the Inner Demon that appeared in your heart and instead continued to delve deeply into the Reversing Ninth Layer Immortal. Finally, you discovered that the Reversing Ninth Layer Immortal can transform into two states.】

【One with the Immortal as the main focus, and one with the Demon as the core.】

【The combination of the Immortal Aspect and the Demonic Heart might allow the effects of the Reversing Ninth Layer Immortal to evolve extraordinarily once again.】

【Such a discovery allows you to obtain a brand-new cultivation technique—the "Immortal Aspect Demon Heart Path".】

【You vaguely feel that this technique can derive ever-changing intent, because it is not just an ordinary technique, but a combination of a way of life and a philosophy, which will bring about myriad strange transformations.】

When Gu Jiangming opened his eyes once more, he exhaled a long breath of stale air; the turning point had arrived.

At this stage, to forge iron, one must be strong oneself.

One certainly cannot let a son being able to beat his father become some sort of inappropriate stereotype!
