The Gu God's Baffling Behavior

High in the sky, dozens of miles away from the Extreme Abyss, the Heart Gu Master Chun Yan held a monocular telescope in her hand, gazing in the direction of the Extreme Abyss.

The Gu Race leaders around her each held a monocular telescope and made the same gazing motion as her.

The monocular telescope was a spoil of war seized from the rebels in Yunzhou. After the Directorate of Astronomy mastered its manufacturing principles, it was mass-produced and included in important military strategic equipment.

It can significantly increase the observation distance while maintaining relative concealment and ensuring safety.

Under immense pressure, the leaders quickly locked onto the Extreme Abyss and that vast, lush primeval forest through the narrow tubes.

Chun Yan pursed her lips, focusing intently on the primeval forest. Suddenly, in her field of vision, the primeval forest, stretching for nearly ten miles, arched up.

This is not an illusion; this primeval forest rises high, as if something is about to crawl out from underground.

She instinctively held her breath, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.

It wasn't because I was nervous, but because the sense of oppression from the system was intensifying.

After the primeval forest arched to a certain height, the land split and slid down to both sides, revealing a deep red, fleshy spine as the first thing the leaders could see.

The back was a deep red color, like flesh that had been peeled off, revealing protruding tendons and bulging muscles.

On both sides of the spine are a row of exhaust vents, from which dark green smoke is being expelled.

It is like an insect larva, which, after growing to a certain extent, will eventually crawl out of the soil and transform into a butterfly.

As He climbed out of the abyss, the soil was pushed up, and tens of millions of tons of rocks and clods of earth were turned up. Although no sound could be heard, the sight gave the leaders a tremendous visual impact.

"This is the Gu God"

Chun Yan murmured.

She had completely seen the true face of the Gu God. He was like a mountain made of flesh and blood, huge and terrifying, with a row of exhaust vents on his back spewing out dark green smoke that swirled in the sky and formed dark green clouds.

A viscous shadow flowed at the base of the mountain of flesh.

In contrast to its terrifying appearance, the Gu God has a pair of eyes full of wisdom, as if it can see through the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and through the fleeting years.

At this moment, all the Gu God near the Extreme Abyss underwent a terrible mutation. Some of them suddenly stiffened and turned into mindless, emotionless Walking Corpse.

Some had bloodshot eyes, driven by the desire to mate, and frantically pounced on the Gu beasts around them, regardless of race or gender.

At this moment, Chun Yan saw Ba Ji, the leader of the Poison Gu Tribe, standing beside her. His face was covered with bulging, twisting blue veins, his eyes had turned into dark green vertical pupils, horny skin had grown on his forehead, and his fangs protruded from his lips.

The same anomaly is also occurring in other leaders, who are merging with their Original Life Gu within their bodies.

"Walk!"

Chun Yan's expression changed slightly, and she blurted out.

To everyone's surprise, the sound that burst from his throat was no longer melodious and clear, but rather hoarse like that of a broken bellows.

I've also been infected by the Gu poison. A strong sense of fear welled up in her heart. The leaders didn't linger and rushed northward.

Chun Yan looked back one last time and saw that enormous, terrifying fleshy body crawling southward.

Market town!

Two figures appeared in the sky above the town; it was Xu Qi'an and Luan Yu, who had gone to inform him.

Xu Qi'an glanced around and saw that the town was bustling with people. Members of the seven Gu Race were packing their belongings in an orderly manner, preparing to flee north.

So calm? He frowned. Although the Gu Race was warlike and fearless of death, that was only when they were in a high position. In ordinary times, these Southern Barbarians were quite fond of life.

The current commotion does not reflect the panicked escape that would ensue when a great calamity is imminent.

"I didn't detect the aura of the Gu God, nor the aura of the leaders."

He turned his head and looked at Luan Yu, who had a bright oval face, with a questioning gaze.

No matter how fast he arrives, he can't outrun the Gu God.

Logically speaking, this place should have already transformed into a world of Gu (a type of poisonous insect).

The latter had already abandoned her alluring and seductive charm, and her brows were furrowed.

As they spoke, the two of them looked in the same direction. It was an ordinary little courtyard, in which stood an old woman with a full head of white hair, holding a cane, looking up at them silently.

Xu Qi'an held Luan Yu's fragrant shoulder and teleported him to Heaven Gu Granny.

"The Gu God has been born!"

Heaven Gu Granny spoke first, saying:

"But He did not head north to attack Great Feng; instead, He went south."

"South, "Luan Yu said urgently.

"What about the others?"

Heaven Gu Granny turned around, looked at the hall beside her with its doors and windows tightly closed, and said:

"They have been affected by the Gu God and have uncontrollably merged with their Original Life Gu. Their bodies have already become Gu. In order not to affect the ordinary people of the clan, I have shielded their aura. I ask for Silver Gong Xu's help."

The beauty of the Gu Luan Yu paled.

The Gu Race's cultivation method involves absorbing the power of the Gu God by implanting Original Life Gu. The power of the Gu God Gu God is harmful; once ordinary beings come into contact with it, they will be corrupted and turned into mindless Gu beasts.

The existence of the Original Life Gu is to help the Gu Master reduce the "toxicity," allowing the Gu Master to retain their sanity and avoid being contaminated.

However, Original Life Gu is still a Gu. If the "toxicity" of the Original Life Gu itself increases, then the Gu Master who are one with the Original Life Gu will also transform into Gu.

The fatal flaw is that once the transformation into a Gu poison reaches a certain point, it is irreversible.

Xu Qi'an didn't delay any longer, walked straight to the hall, opened the door and entered.

The first thing he saw was a creature resembling a black gorilla, with muscular arms supporting it on the ground, one eye as red as blood, and the other sharp but clear.

Its muscles were harder than steel, and it was filled with terrifying power.

To the left of the "gorilla" are, in order: a lizardman with purple skin, a single horn on his forehead, protruding fangs, and purple scales covering his cheeks; a patch of irregularly twisting shadows; a winged human whose arms have turned into wings, whose body is covered in blue feathers, and whose feet have turned into bird claws; and a white-eyed Walking Corpse with a bluish face and protruding sharp teeth.

Based on their auras, Xu Qi'an quickly identified that the gorilla was Long Tu; the lizard man was Ba Ji; the shadow was Shadow; the winged man was Chun Yan; Walking Corpse was You Shi.

If they were truly transformed into Gu, then there would be five Transcendent Gu beasts. Xu Qi'an understood how to treat the leaders; the Seven Absolutes Gu bulges on his cervical spine had clear outlines beneath his skin.

His eyeballs "melted," filling the entire eye socket, and he gently inhaled.

In an instant, various colors of Gu God power overflowed from the five leaders, flowing into Xu Qi'an's mouth like smoke.

As the excessive power of the Gu God left their bodies, the abnormal features on the five leaders either fell off or returned to their bodies, and they quickly returned to human form.

Except for Chun Yan, who was covered by a green feather, everyone else was completely naked.

Luan Yu feigned shyness in front of Xu Qi'an, covering her face and saying bashfully:

"Hate!"

But nobody paid any attention to her.

"Hold on!"

Chun Yan turned and went into the inner room.

A moment later, she emerged wearing a long dress, and the blue feathers on her body disappeared.

After Long Tu and the others put on their clothes, Xu Qi'an learned about the situation after the birth of the Gu God from Chun Yan, who was the first to come out.

The Gu God did something that no one could understand.

"South?"

Xu Qi'an frowned, muttered to himself several times, and then looked at the leaders:

What are your thoughts?

Chun Yan pondered for a moment and said:

"Southern Frontier southern border, there's only the vast ocean; it can't possibly be at sea, can it?"

Ba Ji analyzed:

"It's also possible they took a detour, sailing south to Yunzhou, and starting their encroachment on the Great Feng territory directly from there."

"Taking off your pants is like farting—completely unnecessary. "Xu Qi'an shook his head.

At this moment, Heaven Gu Granny said in a deep voice:

"The Gu God has set sail."

Everyone turned to look at her, and seeing the mother-in-law's resolute expression, Luan Yu's heart stirred:

"Grandma, what you saw in the Golden Throne Hall that day was the scene of the Gu God setting sail?"

Those inside the room suddenly recalled Heaven Gu Granny's description: it was hard to say whether it was good or bad, but it wasn't an obvious disaster.

Moreover, Heaven Gu Granny looked extremely confused at the time, as if she couldn't decipher the future she had glimpsed.

Heaven Gu Granny nodded slowly, giving an affirmative answer:

"Yes, that's exactly what I saw."

Now that the Gu God has set sail, the future has become the past, and what is happening now is not a revelation of Tianji.

"Why?"

Luan Yu asked blankly.

Having finally broken free of the seal, instead of heading north to plunder its Fate, why go to sea?

Chun Yan pondered:

"Right now, nothing is more important than plundering Fate. The Gu God's actions can only mean two things: one, there is Fate plunder overseas; two, there is something more important overseas than plundering Fate."

"There's no Fate overseas!" Xu Qi'an immediately rejected the idea.

"There shouldn't be anything more important than Fate."

Before Peace Saber absorbed the "Light Gate," if there was anything overseas that Gu God would be willing to make a trip to, it would definitely be the Light Gate.

Aranda.

The Jialuoshu, Guangxian, and the Bodhisattva Liuli all listened intently. After a moment, they looked at each other in silence, their eyes showing both joy and solemnity.

Just now, the Buddha told them that the Gu God had broken free of its seal and gone overseas.

The Bodhisattva Liuli murmured:

"He didn't lie to me; He really did go overseas. He just wouldn't tell me why."

That day in the Extreme Abyss, the Gu God seemed to have foreseen something and told the Bodhisattva Liuli that after breaking free from the seal, He was going to go overseas and hoped that the Buddha could restrain the two Half-Step Martial God in the Central Plains.

As for the reason, the Gu God did not say.

"So? Shall we keep our promise?" asked the Bodhisattva Liuli.

The Jialuoshu shook its head:

"This is a matter for the Buddha to decide."

After saying this, the three closed their eyes again and communicated with the Buddha.

"Attack the Central Plains."

The Buddha's vast and majestic voice echoed in the minds of the three Bodhisattva.

[Second: The Gu God went overseas? That doesn't make sense.]

In the Earth Book chat group, after reading Xu Qi'an's message, the Flying Swallow Heroine was the first to raise a question.

Anyone could see the absurdity, Xu Qi'an thought to himself.

[1: Could it be targeting the descendants of Gods and Devils?]

[Three: It's only a possibility.]

Although there are many Transcendent among the descendants of Gods and Devils, they are of little significance to the Gu God.

He wants to devour the Central Plains and doesn't need the help of these Transcendent Realm descendants of Gods and Devils. It's impossible for Him to waste time summoning Gods and Devils descendants at this critical juncture.

[Nine: Something unusual must be amiss. If you can't figure out why the Gu God is doing this, then think about why He would do it.]

This is a convoluted statement, but apart from Lina, every member of the Heaven and Earth Society is intelligent.

[Part 4: What does the Daoist priest mean? What might the Gu God have foreseen?]

First of all, this Gods and Devils possesses Transcendent wisdom, so it certainly wouldn't do anything nonsensical; everything it does must have a profound meaning.

Secondly, for Transcendent Rank, plundering Fate is the most important thing, but Gu God deliberately gave up on it.

Finally, this Transcendent Rank possesses the ability to foresee the future.

Combining all this, even without knowing the Gu God's purpose, one can deduce that He foresaw the future, and that future is the reason He set sail.

[Seven: Don't overthink it. Just remember, resolutely sabotage what the enemy wants to do, and resolutely protect what the enemy wants to destroy. That's enough.]

Li Lingsu conveyed the following message using her philosophy of returning to simplicity:

[Xu Ningyan, you need to go out to sea right away. Even if you can't defeat the Gu God, you can still save your life, right?]

Just as Xu Qi'an was in the Southern Frontier, was about to reply, he suddenly sensed something and took out the sound transmission conch.

The other conch shell was in Shenshu's hands.

"Master Shenshu?"

"The Buddha has arrived!"

From the other end of the conch shell came Shenshu's deep voice.

P. S.: The wind and rain were terrifying; the windows were rattling loudly.
