Chapter 192

At this moment, all gazes fixed upon the Great Dao Golden List...

Then, within the Great Dao Golden List, the scene shifted...

A divine pattern suddenly appeared...

This divine pattern was named: "The Legend of the Human Ancestor"!

Before the countless beings across The Myriad Heavens and Worlds could react, the scene within the Great Dao Golden List shifted once more!

That was the vast earth, that was the boundless void, that were the savage beasts of the primordial era, that was the true ancient age!

It seemed as if the world had just formed, a wilderness where wild beasts ran rampant.

Among those beasts was an existence that looked like a human; he was the first human in the world, known as the Human Ancestor!

He ate raw flesh and drank blood, hid and fled constantly, living an exceptionally difficult life!

Especially, there were some beasts named "Predicament" that particularly liked the taste of the Human Ancestor and wanted to eat him.

The Human Ancestor was also human; he lacked a body as strong as stone and possessed neither the sharp fangs nor claws of beasts, having absolutely no way to fight these beasts called Predicament!

His food source was unstable, placing him almost at the very bottom of the entire food chain.

Just as the Human Ancestor was about to perish, three Gu worms voluntarily approached and said to the human race: "As long as you use your life to nourish us, we will help you overcome this predicament."

With no other options, the human race had no choice but to agree to these three Gu worms!

He used his youth to nourish the largest Gu worm, and that Gu worm brought him strength!

Relying on strength, the Human Ancestor's life began to improve; he gained a stable food source and sufficient power to protect himself!

He was bold and fierce, defeating many Predicaments!

He was invincible, like a War God!

But very soon, the Human Ancestor suffered.

He discovered that strength was not omnipotent; it also required recovery and rest, and could not be squandered recklessly.

Moreover, for the massive Predicament beasts, the Human Ancestor's strength alone was still too small and too weak!

The Human Ancestor, reflecting on his pain, decided to use his vigorous middle age to nourish another Gu worm.

Thus, that second Gu worm brought him wisdom!

With wisdom, the Human Ancestor began to learn to think and reflect, starting to summarize experiences.

He discovered that often, by merely applying wisdom and using minimal strength, one could bring about unexpected results and harvests!

Relying on strength and wisdom, the Human Ancestor even conquered goals previously unconquerable, killed more Predicament beasts, ate the flesh of Predicaments, drank the blood of Predicaments, and tenaciously survived!

But good times did not last; the Human Ancestor grew old, older and older!

He had offered his youth and middle age to the Strength Gu and the Wisdom Gu...

Once a person grows old, strength no longer matches the past, and the mind does not turn as fast as before!

"Human, what can you still bring us? You have nothing left to offer us!" The Strength Gu and the Wisdom Gu spoke thus, then callously left the Human Ancestor!

Having lost strength and wisdom.

In the cracks of this desolate world, how could the Human Ancestor survive?

Surrounded by Predicament beasts on all sides, they bared their fangs at him, intending to devour the Human Ancestor...

The Human Ancestor was old, unable to run, powerless despite his will, and even his teeth had all fallen out!

He could no longer eat the flesh of Predicament beasts or drink their blood!

He lay on the ground, and in his heart, only despair remained!

However, just at this moment, the third Gu suddenly appeared and said to the Human Ancestor: "Human, nourish me, and I can let you escape this predicament."

Tears streaming down his face, the Human Ancestor said in despair: "Gu, what else do I have? Look, the Strength Gu and the Wisdom Gu have abandoned me! My youth is gone, my prime is gone! Only old age remains!"

0......... 0

"Compared to youth and middle age, old age is insignificant, but if I offer my old age to you, my life will end immediately."

"Although I am currently surrounded by Predicaments, I will not die for a little while yet."

"I still wish to live a bit longer, even if only for a second!"

"So you must leave; I can no longer nourish you."

However, that Gu worm spoke up: "Among the three Gu worms, my requirements are the smallest! Human, you only need to give me your heart."

Upon hearing this, the Human Ancestor immediately said: "Then I shall give you my heart! But Gu, what can you bring me? In this desperate situation, even if the Strength Gu and the Wisdom Gu returned to my side, it would change nothing."

Compared to the Strength Gu, this Gu worm had a frail body, merely a tiny light.

Compared to the magnificent and dreamlike Wisdom Gu, this Gu was even dimmer, not splendid at all!

However, the moment the Human Ancestor gave his heart to this Gu, instantly, the entire Gu bloomed with infinite light!

It was a bright lamp in the night, the dawn before the sunrise!

It was the hope that dispelled the darkness of night!

The moment the light appeared, those Predicament beasts screamed in terror: "It is the Hope Gu! Run, run quickly!"

At this moment, the Predicament beasts fled in panic, scattering in all directions!

The Human Ancestor stood there, dumbfounded!

Until that moment, he suddenly realized that the best way to face a predicament was to give one's heart to Hope!

The scene faded slightly at this point...

At this moment, countless beings across The Myriad Heavens and Worlds were astonished...

"Good heavens, what is this? Hope? Strength? Wisdom?"

"Sss, although this story is unremarkable, why does this Daoist feel a throbbing sensation in his heart?"

"Hope? Is this... the Dao? How can the simple 'Legend of the Human Ancestor' explain the Great Dao?"

"Sss, Strength is a Gu? Wisdom is a Gu? Even Hope is a Gu? Good heavens, how bizarre can this world truly be?"

"Is this Gu really that simple? Such a small story fits perfectly within The Myriad Heavens and Worlds! It is spoken to everyone: as long as hope is not extinguished, light will be born! When facing difficulties, never give up any hope!"

"Burp, I'm full. This chicken soup, I've had my fill!"

"Now I don't want to drink any chicken soup. Right now, I just want to know: what is this Hope Gu!"

At this moment, some approved, while others mocked...

For this kind of chicken soup, some wanted to drink it, while others attained the Dao.

Some people, however, held it in utter contempt!

Who hasn't heard some small chicken soup stories?

Just then, from within the Great Dao Gold List, a series of extremely cold rebukes suddenly rang out!

"Fang Yuan, obediently hand over the Spring and Autumn Cicada, and I will grant you a quick death!"

"Fang Laomo, do not attempt to resist. Today, the major righteous sects have united to trample your Demon Cave! A net of heaven and earth has already been set here; this time, your head and body shall surely be separated!"

"Fang Yuan, you damned beast! To cultivate the Spring and Autumn Cicada, you did not hesitate to slaughter the lives of countless innocents! You have committed unforgivable sins, crimes too numerous to record!"

"Demon! Three hundred years ago, you insulted me and took my purity! You also slaughtered my entire family and exterminated my nine clans! Did you ever imagine this day? I will make you wish for death but live in suffering!!" Yi.
