"I wonder... where is Chi You now?!"
Indeed!
With memories of two lifetimes, Gu Changqing knew not only that Xuanyuan would be the next Human Emperor.
He also knew that an earthshaking struggle for the human emperor position was bound to erupt among humanity.
Xuanyuan would battle Chi You!
And this Chi You was none other than the reincarnation of one of the Witch Clan's eight Great Witches of old.
During the Witch-Demon War, Chi You had died in bitter hatred, fallen into reincarnation, and been reborn among humanity.
Afterward, Chi You had amassed astonishing prestige and fortune, then launched his great struggle against Xuanyuan for the human emperor position.
In the end, Xuanyuan had still won a resounding victory, while Chi You had been defeated.
In other words, Chi You's appearance had not fundamentally affected the succession of Human Emperors.
In this lifetime, however, Gu Changqing did not want to watch such a war erupt again.
"Hmm... a great war would ultimately claim countless human lives, leaving innocents dead."
"If it could be avoided, that would spare us a great deal of karmic sin from slaughter."
Gu Changqing murmured to himself.
In the past, when the Demon Race had slaughtered humans to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, Gu Changqing had been unable to bear it and had defied heaven itself.
How could he now stand by and watch humans slaughter one another?
Thus, if he could find Chi You beforehand, he might be able to prevent much of that chaos and bloodshed.
Moreover, with Gu Changqing's current cultivation, he actually needed only to perform a brief divination, or directly peer into the mysteries of reincarnation, to discover where Chi You's reincarnation was.
But as though thoroughly drunk, he shook his head with bleary eyes and did not attempt any divination.
