Chapter 203: Han Paopao Frowns and Retreats Behind the Crowd

The sky was overcast with continuous rain!

Fang Yuan leaned against the bed, gazing out of the inn, sipping lightly on clear wine...

Just then, a series of conversation sounds reached his ears...

It was a grandfather and his grandson.

The grandfather was telling the grandson the story of the Human Ancestor's Transmission!

【It is said that the Human Ancestor handed his Heart to the Gu of Hope, escaping the encirclement and pursuit of his predicament!】

【But he was ultimately old, lacking strength and wisdom, unable to continue hunting, and even his teeth had all fallen out!】

【The Human Ancestor had already felt death gradually approaching.】

【At this moment, the Gu of Hope told him: "Human, you cannot die! If you die, the Heart will be gone, and I will lose my dwelling place."】

【The Human Ancestor was very helpless: "Who wants to die? But Heaven and Earth demand my death, so I must die."】

【The Gu of Hope then said: "Everything has hope. As long as you seize the Gu of Longevity, you can add new lifespan."】

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

【The Gu of Hope then told the Human Ancestor a secret: "Human, never give up hope in anything. I tell you, at the northwest corner of the earth, there is a Great Mountain. On its summit is a cave, and in the cave live two Gu worms, one round and one square. If you can subdue these two Gu worms, there is no Gu in the world that cannot be caught, not even the Gu of Longevity!"】

【The Human Ancestor had nowhere else to turn; this was his only remaining hope.】

【He endured a thousand hardships to find this Great Mountain.】

【And braving ten thousand dangers, he climbed to the summit.】

【At the cave entrance on the summit, with only the slightest strength left, he stumbled his way inside.】

【Inside the cave, it was pitch black; one could not see five fingers with an outstretched hand, and the Human Ancestor walked in the darkness.】

【Sometimes he stumbled and bumped, not knowing what he had collided with, striking his head until it bled.】

【At other times, he felt this darkness was boundless, as if it were another world; apart from himself, there was nothing around.】

【He spent much time but could not walk out of this vast darkness.】

【Let alone subduing the two Gu worms, one round and one square.】

【Just as he fell into confusion, two voices came from the darkness.】

【One said: "Human, do you also wish to catch us? Go back; even if you possess the Gu of Strength, it is impossible."】

【The other voice then said: "Human, you should retreat; we will not take your life. Even with the help of the Gu of Wisdom, you will not necessarily find us."】

【The Human Ancestor fell weakly to the ground, panting: "The Gu of Strength and the Gu of Wisdom have long since departed from me; I have little time left and nowhere to turn. However, as long as there is a shred of hope in my heart, I will not give up!"】

【Hearing the Human Ancestor's words, those two voices fell silent.】

【After a long while, they spoke: "We understand. Human, you have already handed your Heart to the Gu of Hope. No matter what, you will not give up."】

【The other voice continued: "Then, since that is so, we will give you a chance. As long as you speak our two names, we will be at your service."】

【The Human Ancestor was stunned; to accurately call out two precise names from the sea of words was simply like fishing a needle from the ocean.】

【Moreover, he did not even know how many characters were in the names of these two Gu worms.】

【The Human Ancestor hurriedly asked the Gu of Hope, but the Gu of Hope did not know either.】

【The Human Ancestor had no other way out, so he had to force himself to speak names. He spoke countless names, spending a long time, but there was not the slightest response from the darkness; obviously, he had called them all wrong.】

【Gradually, the Human Ancestor's breath grew weaker and weaker; in this cave, he advanced from old age into twilight years.】

【It was as if the setting sun at dusk was gradually descending, already half below the horizon, becoming the evening sun.】

【The food he brought with him grew less and less, his mind turned slower and slower, and he had little strength left to speak.】

【The voices in the darkness advised: "Human, you are about to die; we will let you go. While you still have your final moments, you can climb out of the cave and take one last look at this world. But since you offended us, as punishment, leave the Gu of Hope here to keep us company."】

【The Human Ancestor tightly clutched his chest and flatly refused: "Even if I die, I will not give up hope!"】

【The Gu of Hope was deeply moved; it summoned all its strength to respond to the Human Ancestor, emitting a pure white radiance.】

【From the Human Ancestor's chest, points of Bai Guang emerged.】
