After three years of severe drought, Gu Village ran out of food. The entire clan was on the verge of starving to death in the mountain ravines.
Gu Changsheng tumbled into a cave and found an ancestral token, [The Strongest Clan System is binding.] [Binding requirement: Gu clan unity, 100%.]
The System had only one rule: whatever the Gu clan lacked, it would provide.
Lacking cultivation techniques? Heaven-tier techniques at the very least, with the whole clan cultivating automatically. Lacking protectors? Borrow imperial weapons by the pound. Lacking weapons? The battered blade by the mountain gate had once sliced the sleeve off a Holy Land patriarch.
Others cultivate immortality by risking their lives. The Gu clan does it by having children: more children, more blessings, written into the clan rules. Have one child, earn one reward.
A drop of longevity blood, and ten thousand beasts come to pledge allegiance; a Heart-Questioning Mirror that lays bare the hearts of everyone under Heaven; join the Gu family tree, and there's a place for you on the road to immortality.
Someone came to propose marriage, but was really there to spy on the Gu clan's strength. Gu Changsheng didn't even look up. From millions of miles away, he cut them down with a single sword.
“How dare a mere ant like you spy on a member of the Gu clan?”
A thousand years later, Holy Lands had fallen into decline and imperial clans had turned to ashes. Only the Gu family tree kept growing thicker with every page.
Among the countless species across the three thousand great domains, only the Gu clan could claim immortality.
