Choices; Gu World Cultivator Chen Duo, Present
As a former regional head, Old Liao was naturally not going to be fooled by such a clumsy attempt to divert attention.
However, since Wu Tong had changed the subject, he couldn't press the matter further, so Old Liao could only continue Wu Tong's line of conversation.
Although Old Liao verbally dismissed the topic, he secretly harbored feelings for Wu Tong.
This kid doesn't look like a good person at all; I guess I'll have to keep a close eye on him from now on.
(This is purely a biased view: stemming from an old father's protectiveness towards cabbage and his hostility towards the pig that steals it.)
Wu Tong said, "Of course I've come up with something. I have a few ideas now, but Chen Duo needs to make the decision herself."
"Really?! Hahahaha..."
"Great! Duo'er, you're saved!"
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Old Liao no longer cared about being wary of Wu Tong, the blond-haired man, and was so excited that he burst into tears of joy, not even noticing the second half of Wu Tong's sentence.
Wu Tong didn't pay any attention and, with a little effort, broke free from Old Liao's arm.
Then, Wu Tong walked to Chen Duo's side, looking at the unfortunate girl with pity, and offered his solution:
"Chen Duo, the problem of the Gu-Body Saint Child is nothing to me, but how to solve it depends on your own wishes."
After thinking about it, based on your situation, I've decided to give you two options:
First, I will personally take action to completely erase the traces of the Gu-Body Saint Child's alteration and restore you to a normal person.
However, the drawback of this approach is that it will leave you with very little strength, since almost all of your power is concentrated in your Gu (poisonous insects).
"Secondly, I recently obtained a cultivation method for Gu Cultivator from other worlds, which is very suitable for you. You can directly switch cultivation methods through this method."
The advantage of this choice is that your strength will not decline as a result; in fact, due to the extreme compatibility between the Gu Cultivator system and the Gu-Body Saint Child, your strength will greatly increase.
"Alright, now make your choice!"
The cultivation method of Gu Cultivator was something Wu Tong had won by chance in a lottery in Dimensional Chat Group some time ago.
After obtaining this cultivation method, Wu Tong began to have designs on Chen Duo, a natural-born Gu Cultivator.
Wu Tong was naturally delighted to see a Gu Immortal appear.
After all, although the strength of Gu Cultivator is not very good, the Gu Cultivator are extremely functional.
If Chen Duo chooses to become Gu Cultivator, she will definitely be able to become a Gu Immortal in the future, thanks to her Gu-Body Saint Child and the adaptability of Gu.
In this way, Chen Duo would become one of Wu Tong's top lieutenants.
Of course, if Chen Duo chooses to undergo treatment and become an ordinary person, Wu Tong will respect her decision.
As the saying goes, "Don't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering."
Even if Wu Tong didn't understand the pain of Erosion by the Primal Gu, it had already been clearly shown in the original storyline.
A living, breathing person was ultimately Erosion by the Primal Gu and turned into a blood corpse.
Presumably, none of the cruelest tortures in ancient times could compare to the pain Chen Duo endured.
Therefore, out of pity for Chen Duo, Wu Tong will respect her decision no matter which one Chen Duo chooses.
After all, his original purpose in bringing Chen Duo over was not only to avoid wasting talent, but also to settle his lingering resentment.
Everyone else, including Old Liao, remained silent after hearing Wu Tong's statement, waiting quietly for Chen Duo to make her choice.
Before coming here, they already knew each other.
Therefore, an analysis was also conducted on Chen Duo, this pitiful little girl.
Ultimately, the same conclusion was reached as that of Zhang Chulan in the original novel:
Choose.
What Chen Duo wants most is to be able to make her own choices.
Therefore, everyone was waiting for Chen Duo's answer.
Chen Duo, who was being watched by Wu Tong, naturally had no idea what the others were thinking.
At this moment, after hearing Wu Tong's choice, Chen Duo's eyes flickered with uncertainty:
Choose...?
Can I make my own choices?
At this moment, facing the choice given by Wu Tong, Chen Duo's mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, which surged like towering waves in her heart, as if they were about to overturn her.
Finally, after a period of internal struggle, Chen Duo glanced at Liao Zhong, and as if making a momentous decision, slowly spoke:
"I choose... the second one."
After she finished speaking, Chen Duo seemed like a completely different person, radiating a peculiar vitality.
Seeing this, everyone showed expressions of relief.
Wu Tong smiled and said, "Alright, since you've made your choice, I'll pass on the cultivation method of Gu Cultivator to you."
After saying that, Wu Tong waved his hand, and a Jade Talisman made entirely of white jade suddenly appeared in Wu Tong's hand.
After glancing at the Jade Talisman in his hand, Wu Tong handed it to Chen Duo.
This Jade Talisman contains the Gu Cultivator cultivation system that Wu Tong won in the lottery, which mentions everything from First Revolution Gu Cultivator to Rank-Nine Gu Immortal.
Moreover, this Jade Talisman itself is made of the top-grade Gu-Suppressing Jade in the Gu World. It can not only pass on Gu Cultivator knowledge, but also suppress the backlash of Gu worms, making it perfect for Chen Duo to use.
Upon seeing this, Chen Duo hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out and accepting the Jade Talisman that Wu Tong handed over.
As soon as Chen Duo got her hands on the Jade Talisman, she felt countless pieces of information flooding into her mind. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the information was exactly the knowledge about Gu Cultivator that Wu Tong had mentioned.
At the same time, a peculiar warm current surged from the Jade Talisman and flowed into Chen Duo's body.
The moment this warm current appeared, the restless and constantly rebellious Gu worms within the body instantly froze, like Nezumi seeing a cat.
"You felt it?"
"Um, thank you..."
Feeling the precious knowledge in her mind and the motionless Gu worm in her body, Chen Duo was deeply moved and earnestly said to Wu Tong.
Wu Tong naturally accepted Chen Duo's gratitude without hesitation.
"This Jade Talisman can suppress the backlash from the Gu worms in your body. You must not remove it before you complete the initial cultivation of Gu Cultivator."
Of course, once you reach the First Revolution, it doesn't matter anymore.
"At that time, you can transfer all the Gu worms in your body into your Void Aperture, and your body will return to normal."
"That's great, Duo'er, you can finally live a normal life."
At this moment, Old Liao, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer and said excitedly.
"Yes, thank you for taking care of me all these years, Uncle Liao."
After resolving the issues for several people.
Wu Tong then led everyone to a classroom, where he awakened their Martial Soul and taught them the cultivation methods of a God Ring Master.
