Yun Gucheng suddenly shuddered. The hands clutching his head slowly lowered, and the madness and confusion in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by deep terror, intense doubt, and... a faint hope so weak that even he himself dared not believe in it.
Gu Sheng watched him regain his clarity, his tone remaining calm, as though the Fate Controlling Yin Plate that had just shaken his soul was merely a trivial little trinket casually displayed.
"If the guidance of the Destiny Star Plate is not enough to convince you, then this Fate Controlling Yin Plate should be enough to further prove my identity."
Yun Gucheng stared fixedly at the slowly fading phantom of the compass, and his expression changed drastically once more! This time, it was no longer doubt, but shock and certainty born from his bloodline and the depths of his soul!
He abruptly rose to his feet, staggering slightly from excitement. He hurried to Gu Sheng, then dropped to one knee with a thud, clasped his hands in salute, his voice trembling uncontrollably with utmost reverence.
"The Fate Reversing Yang Plate protects the family. Yun Clan's nine hundred and sixth-generation descendant, Yun Gucheng... pays respects to the current Lord Siming!"
Gu Sheng gave him a glance, showing little surprise as he spoke indifferently.
"You may rise."
Although he had not previously known Yun Gucheng's exact identity, on his journey to Sunset Ancient Town, the abnormalities and revelations of the Destiny Star Plate had already led him to infer that this matter was likely connected to the karmic ties of Lord Siming's lineage.
Still, he had not expected to encounter a descendant of the Yun Clan, the legendary guardians of the Fate Reversing Yang Plate, the other supreme treasure corresponding to the Fate Controlling Yin Plate.
"Rise and speak."
