Gu Yinqi was a born prodigy.
At six, he learned to draw in spiritual energy. At eight, he reached Foundation Establishment. At twelve, he formed his Golden Core. Such talent made him one of the finest among the immortal sects.
Three years later, everyone thought Gu Yinqi would break the record for the youngest cultivator to reach Nascent Soul. But after failing his tribulation, he unexpectedly fell back to Foundation Establishment.
Everyone said Heaven was jealous of his talent.
But Gu Yinqi knew the truth: he was only the villain in The Tale of Baichuan.
The so-called "Heavenly Dao" forcibly stripped him of all his gifts and talents for the sake of its protagonist, giving them to Ying Baichuan instead.
But the "Heavenly Dao" had to pay an equal price for forcibly taking them from him.
In the original story, he chose a heaven-defying cultivation technique and reached Nascent Soul in record time. From then on, he began a dark life of fighting Ying Baichuan to the death.
They claimed to have given him a heaven-defying technique, but in truth, they were merely turning him into a whetstone for Ying Baichuan.
Perhaps his resentment was too great, because he returned to the day his spiritual gifts had been taken away.
The "Heavenly Dao" hypocritically told him it would grant him anything he asked for, whether a cultivation technique or a divine artifact.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yinqi said, "Send my six-year-old self to me."
.
A moment earlier, Gu Yinqi had been meditating in his room and wondering what to eat tomorrow. Then he suddenly felt dizzy. When he came to, he found himself sitting in the lap of a much larger version of himself.
Before he could say a word, the older him arched his handsome brows and said coldly, "I'm Gu Yinqi at fifteen. I need your help. From now on, your name is Gu Yinzhou, and you'll pass yourself off as my junior brother."
Gu Yinzhou, whose name had just been changed against his will, blinked and nodded enthusiastically.
Great, his older self needed help.
He'd grown up to be so handsome. He wanted to stay in his own arms forever.
Looking at the miniature version of himself, Gu Yinqi felt a wave of inexplicable irritation. He gritted his teeth and thought:
Great, my sunny, cheerful, silly self.
I'm saved!
