Another of those "old grandpa in a ring" types.
Both parents dead, a younger sister and a house, and that sister's talent was fairly decent too—at such a young age, she was already at the seventh layer of Qi Refining.
A bona fide protagonist!
In Xu Xing's long life, he had actually encountered quite a few cases like this.
Compared to them, this little fellow could be considered rather miserable.
If he had merely possessed an old grandpa cheat, it would have been fine. Though that Void Return Realm remnant soul had bound itself to him and, being too weak, needed to borrow his body to restore its soul, it had no intention of harming his life.
On the contrary, the process was beneficial to Gu Wangjun himself as well.
His cultivation might stagnate for a few years, but his constitution would gradually improve during that time. His future cultivation would surely yield twice the result with half the effort.
And once that remnant soul recovered somewhat, it had even planned to repay him as best it could...
But the problem lay with the Giant Rat Pill.
A youth from a poor family, without parents, still young yet possessing decent cultivation talent—he was simply far too suitable.
Thus, through the deliberate arrangements of the planetary Guardian Envoy's subordinates, he obtained the Life-Forfeiting Pill by chance.
And that was when things went wrong.
One Giant Rat Pill directly damaged his foundations and overdrew his potential. Coupled with the Void Return Realm remnant soul instinctively drawing from him while its consciousness was sealed away—
Both body and spirit were depleted, leaving him battered by five strains and seven injuries.
If this continued, then before the remnant soul even awakened, he would likely breathe his last and become a "good-for-nothing protagonist" sucked dry
